After a painful divorce, I'm starting over in the city, focused and determined to rearrange my life. That is when I started receiving a mysterious package that has put me on a path of discovery and danger. As I try to uncover this mystery, I met this charming billionaire Julian Saint Clair. Who seems to be hiding secrets of his own. He is incredibly captivating, charismatic, and accustomed to getting what he desires. As we embark on a whirlwind romance, I am drawn into Julian's world of luxury and excess. But I soon realize that he's hiding secrets, and his past remains concealed in mystery. There's Julian's business partner, Ethan, who seems to have been stalking my every move. And then Sophia, Julian's captivating ex-girlfriend, who's determined to get him back. As I found myself torn in-between my growing feelings for Julian and my unease about his secrets, I receive a frightening message; "You may think you know Julian, but you really don't. Be cautious, or you might become his next obsession victim." My heart pounds as I turn to Julian, but he's not there. Instead, I see a figure hiding in the shadows, watching me with an unsettling intensity. And then, everything goes black.

Cruel Obsession Chapter 1 GLOOMY SKIES AND DEADLINES

"Trust me, Alex, you're misusing your ability writing for these internet blogs," Lily, my closest friend said, as she took a sip of her coffee at our beloved Capitol Hill café.

I gave her a sarcastic smirk, scribbling some ideas on my pad. "Hey, those blogs put food on my table, Lil. And it's not like I'm penning articles for The Washington Post or anything."

Lily snickered. "You should be. You're a talented writer, my friend Alex. You deserve more than some mediocre, low-paying job writing about the latest fashion trends."

A feeling of gratitude filled my chest as I smiled. Lily had always been my rock, motivating me to pursue my passions, even if they seem improbable.

As a Seattle based contract writer, adaptability has become my second nature. I penned articles pretty much about anything and everything, from latest tech trends to culinary critiques. It might not have been flashy, but it afforded me the means to support myself while pursuing my passion for storytelling.

I looked out towards the window, watching as the rain drops, casting a melancholic spell all around the city. I love days like this the most – peaceful and cozy, rainy days that make me yearn for the comfort of a good book and a warm cup of coffee.

Unfortunately, I have to resist the urge for a relaxing time today as I have a deadline to meet. I had a deadline to meet, and still have thousands of words awaiting completion.

I looked back at Lily, who was checking through her phone. "Hey, I really should be leaving. I've got a lot of work to tackle today."

Lily nodded, keeping her phone away. "Yeah, I will be working shift at the coffee shop later this afternoon"

We hugged tightly as I hung my bag over my shoulder. "Thanks for the coffee and the encouragement Lil. Just what I needed."

Lily's face lit up. "Anytime, Alex. Now go tackle that writing project and make magic!"

I laughed, feeling a jolt of motivation and grit. Meeting that deadline became my top priority no matter the obstacle.

As I was stepping out of the café, I was greeted by the cool rain splashing against my face and clearing my mind. I breathed in deeply, feeling the city's lively atmosphere. Seattle was a haven for creatives, where artists, musicians and writers just like me could thrive.

As I returned to my apartment, a compact studio situated in an offbeat building in the city's center. I cherish this place – the squeaky floors, banister, and the stunning view of the city skyline from my window.

As I sat at my desk, I felt a sense of serenity settle over me. This was my sanctuary. Comforted by my books, notes, and my trusty laptop.

As I got into a writing flow, I was lost in the story as the words were flowing effortlessly. Before I knew it, Hours slipped away barely noticing, as I was deeply engrossed in my work.

As sunset began to approach, casting a warm glowy light over the city, finally I took a breather as I stood up, stretching my arms lazily and strolled over to the window.

Gazing out at the city, I felt a sense of fulfillment and pride. I had not only nailed my deadline but had also produced some of my most outstanding work.

I was surprised as I turned back to my desk. A mysterious package had been delivered, wrapped in brown paper and tied with twine. No return address, no indication of its sender leaving me wondering.

As I picked up the package, I felt a thrill run down my skin. It was surprisingly heavier than I imagined.

I felt a sense of unease as I turned the package over. Who sent this? And what is this person's intention?

I was lost in thought as I stood there, contemplating, the package suddenly dropped from my hands as it fell to the floor with a loud crash.

I froze as my heart skipped a bit. I stared at the package. The wrap had torn apart revealing a small leather-bound brown book.

I felt a sense of curiosity and fear as I reached to pick the book. What is in it and who has chosen to share this with me?

A small note slipped out, hitting the ground as I opened the book. My heart pounding as I read the message scribbled on it:

"Rendezvous at the old clock tower this midnight. Come solo."

As I gazed at the words, I felt a chill run down my spine. I couldn't put the feeling off. Who had written this? And what is this person's intention?

I could hear the clock clicking louder as I stood there in terror, marking the hours until midnight.

And I knew it was inevitable for me to go.

"And I want him to see what he lost." ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger's offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring. Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition-he can't feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed. She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience... revenge. But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything. Alaric doesn't share what's his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.

One Night With The Wrong Brother

I thought I was waking up in the arms of Arthur, the man I loved. But as the morning light hit the Hamptons estate, the man buttoning his cuffs by the window turned around with eyes like chips of ice. It was Augustus Riddle, Arthur’s cruel younger brother, and I had just spent the night whispering confessions of love into the wrong man's ear. The night I thought was a beautiful beginning turned into a devastating nightmare. Instead of comfort, Gus treated me like a stain on his expensive carpet, scribbling a check for "services rendered" before shoving me into a dark service corridor to hide my existence from his brother. "How much does it cost to buy your silence?" He sneered, before leaving me barefoot in a torrential downpour while he drove away in a luxury Cadillac. Four years later, I am a struggling actress in Los Angeles, working double shifts as a barista just to keep the lights on. My life was finally stable until my roommate dragged me to a high-end dinner to meet her new "influential" boyfriend. The man sitting at the table, looking more arrogant and lethal than ever, was Augustus. He spent the entire night humiliating me, calling me a pathetic amateur and a social climber in front of my only friends. When I fled into the rain and collapsed on the sidewalk, skinning my knee until I bled, he watched from his car. He saw me clutching a plastic baggie containing the taped-together pieces of that four-year-old check—the only proof of my shame. He looked at me like roadkill, rolled up his window, and drove off into the dark. I couldn't understand why he was doing this. Why did he hate me enough to crush me, yet remember that I couldn't handle the smell of cigarette smoke? Why did he leave me bleeding in the street, only to send expensive medical supplies and coffee to my door the very next morning? "I'm moving out." I told my roommates, realizing that Gus Riddle didn't just want to destroy me; he wanted to haunt me. I grabbed my suitcase and walked out with eighty dollars to my name, finally ready to disappear into the city before he could burn the rest of my life to the ground.
