All Chapters of Torn by Obsession : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Sophia barely slept that night. Even in the sanctuary of her apartment, Rafael’s presence lingered—on her skin, in her mind, deep in her bones. She had spent hours replaying every touch, every whispered word, every dark promise in his gaze. And despite her better judgment, she wanted more. She should have been afraid. Because Rafael DeLuca wasn’t just dangerous. He was lethal. And now, she was standing at the edge of a precipice, staring into the abyss of what it would mean to belong to him. To be owned by him. A chill ran through her, but it wasn’t fear. It was excitement. And that terrified her more than anything. The Call That Changed Everything Sophia was nursing her second cup of coffee when her phone rang. Her pulse spiked at the unknown number. She hesitated before answering. "Hello?" Silence. Then— A low chuckle. A man’s voice, unfamiliar and smooth as silk. "You’re quite the enigma, Sophia Moretti." Every muscle in her body locked. "Who is this?" Anoth

The warehouse on the outskirts of the city smelled of iron and fear.Rafael stepped inside, his presence a storm waiting to break.Matteo stood near the center, his expression tight."We caught two of them, boss," he said, nodding toward the men kneeling before them, their hands tied behind their backs, their faces bruised and bloody.Rafael’s gaze swept over them, his fury ice-cold.One of them had the nerve to lift his head."You think you scare us, DeLuca?" the man spat, blood dripping from his mouth.Rafael didn’t react.He didn’t need to.Instead, he took a step forward, his movements slow, deliberate.Then—without warning—he struck.His fist collided with the man’s jaw, sending him sprawling onto the concrete floor with a sickening crack.A strained groan escaped the man’s lips as he struggled to push himself up.Rafael crouched beside him, gripping his hair and yanking his head back."You made a mistake," Rafael murmured, his voice eerily calm.The man coughed, blood staining h

Sophia could still feel the ghost of Rafael’s touch long after he had stepped away.His words—You belong to me.They weren’t just a statement.They were a warning.A declaration of ownership.And the worst part?A dark, twisted part of her wanted it to be true.Wanted to be his.But that realization terrified her.Because Rafael DeLuca wasn’t just a man.He was a storm, a fire, a predator.And she wasn’t sure if she wanted to escape him—or burn with him.A Dangerous GameThe next morning, Sophia woke up to the smell of coffee and something rich, something decadent.She blinked, disoriented, before realizing she wasn’t in her own bed.She was in Rafael’s.The sheets were soft, silken, infused with his scent—cologne, smoke, and something unmistakably him.Heat crept up her neck as she recalled the night before.His touch.His words.The way he had stripped her of every illusion she had of being in control.She sat up quickly, her pulse pounding.The door to the bedroom swung open.Rafae

Rafael stood at the floor-to-ceiling window of his penthouse, staring out over the city he controlled. The skyline glowed with a thousand artificial lights, but he wasn’t looking at them. He was **thinking.** Somewhere in his empire, a **traitor** was hiding in plain sight. Someone who had **sold him out.** And that someone had nearly gotten **Sophia killed.** His fingers curled into fists. He was going to find them. And when he did— **They would beg for death.** --- ### **Sophia’s Awakening** Sophia watched Rafael from across the room. There was a storm brewing in him. One she wasn’t sure she wanted to see unleashed. He had already killed one man tonight. How many more bodies would fall before this war was over? She swallowed hard. A week ago, she would have been **horrified** by the violence. Now, she wasn’t sure what she felt. Fear? Or something darker? Because when Rafael had pressed that gun into her hands earlier, guiding her fingers over

The warehouse door groaned as Rafael pushed it open. Cold night air rushed in, carrying the distant echoes of sirens and gunfire. Sophia hesitated at the threshold. This was it. The moment she truly stepped into **his world.** She wasn’t just the woman Rafael had stolen anymore. She wasn’t just his captive. She was **something else.** Something **darker.** And Rafael **knew it.** His hand reached back, fingers curling around her wrist. "Come," he murmured. And she **did.** She followed him into the night, into the world of blood, vengeance, and ruthless power. --- ### **A City That Bleeds** The black SUV idled near the alley, engine humming softly. Inside, Rafael’s second-in-command, **Javier**, waited. His dark eyes flicked to Sophia as they climbed in. "She’s coming?" Javier asked, brows raising slightly. Rafael slid into the seat, his tone **lethal.** "She’s already here." Sophia didn’t know if he meant the car or something deeper. But
