Demanding obedience, yet offering a disturbing allure that hints at a passion she never knew she craved.

The Wilderness Obsession Chapter 1 TWO 1

Savannah

"Damn, this town is beautiful." Kat whispered as we passed the 'Welcome To Pinbrooke' sign on the side of the road. She was now holding her phone and recording our surroundings. When I looked out the window, my mouth parted.

Mountains weren't new to me because, girl, this is Colorado. Out of all the states in America, they have the most mountains, even if you're in Denver, where there was a lot of gentrification, urbanization, and many more zations that have happened. Despite the concrete and glass jungle of buildings, the mountains are still visible and it feels like you're still close to the wilderness.

And so I thought no mountains in this state could faze me until I came here. The range that we were passing by was covered in white snow, but there were still parts that weren't covered, and those said parts were mixed colors of bright orange because of the thick and tall maple trees, and also green parts because of the tall oak trees. It is so beautiful my mouth could water. The car went on and we passed by small establishments with flat and decorative roofs and it was made with bricks.

We stopped in front of a small grocery store to buy food that we would bring to the cabin, since it was a bit far from the 'city' part of town. Only Kat and I got out because Rence wanted to rest for a bit since he had been driving for six hours. After asking him what he wanted from the store, I got out. The snowfall had calmed down, so I could witness the beauty of Pinbrooke even more. This town looks like it came from postcards because the establishments are surrounded by tall and colorful mountains. There were people walking on the sidewalks, there were cars and an Amish cart parked on the side of the fairly big road, and the surroundings looked so peaceful. It's just so fascinating and calming to be able to experience this.

Before we entered the small store, I took some photos of Kat for her Instagram. When we went to the store, I grabbed a basket and we headed to the canned goods aisle. It wasn't hard to find because there were only three aisles in this store.

"Psst," Kat nudged me while I was looking at the label of a canned corn. She was standing on my right side.

"What?"

"Daddy Alert. On my right-wait, right is left?"

"Left, dummy."

"Okay. My kuh-liwa. Daddy alert, kuh-si!" She was subtly tugging at my sleeve like a kid.

My brow furrowed after I dropped the canned good into the basket.

"Just look, and you will say thank you to me later." She widened her blue eyes at me. I used to be so amazed with blue eyes until I saw it everywhere at school. Weird thought, but true.

When I turned in the direction she was pointing, the first thing that came to my mind was: giant. The man wearing a red flannel shirt, washed jeans, and a pair of combat boots at the end of the aisle is huge, maybe around 6'6 because he is freaking taller than the shelf of this store. He dwarfs everyone and everything with his height and build. His shirt hugs his body tightly, so from here I could see that his arms were muscular, his chest is buff but not in an extreme way, it was just enough to let you know that he can throw a full grown guy across the room.

It was very cold outside but his sleeves were rolled up to his elbow, exposing his tattooed and veiny forearms. He was holding dog food in his big hand like he's reading the label and puzzled about it. I had to crane my neck to look at his face, he was far which is why I can't see much of his face, but I can see that he has a long and droopy nose, his jaw is covered in thick neatly trimmed facial hair, despite the hair, I can't deny that he has a sharp jawline.

"Look at that butt, bitch. It's so firm." Kat murmured. "Those hands look like they do manual labor all the time. I bet city boys don't stand a chance in a fist fight with this man."

I looked away when I realized that I gawked at a stranger without a thought. Pull it together, Savannah. You have a boyfriend.

"He looks old." I said after I wet my dried lips with my tongue.

"Holy shit, I don't care if he's forty."

"It doesn't look like he's forty, probably late thirties?" I asked and returned my gaze to the cans in front of me.

"I don't give a single shit, Savannah Tatlonghari Lewinsky. He could be a century older than me and I will still spread my legs from north to south and let him do me six ways to Sunday, honey."

"Kat, he might hear you–"

"I am not the one who's in a 'relationship' here. I am allowed to quench my thirst. I mean, damn, look at those fingers. Mmm–mMM-mmm. He's so big and tall, and he's so massive, it looks like everything about him is big. Do you think he gets customized condoms because it looks like those XXL Trojan will not fit in that bulge-"

"Christ, Kat." I said and grabbed a random can, and pretended like I was reading its label to hide my flushed face.

"You know I will let him spit in my mouth and I will thank him too when he degrades me."

"Jesus. Katherine Hudson."

"Yeah babes, an absolutely beautiful, hot man like him makes me forget about woman's suffrage and flushes my feminism down the drain."

"Go figure, huh." I replied sarcastically. I didn't dare to look back because I might just gawk again....accidentally.

Yeah, Savannah. Accidentally. My subconscious butted in but I ignored it.

"Let's go, before you spread your legs there." I said to Kat and dropped the random can in the basket.

She chuckled.

"Yes, ma'am. I will head to the fridge and find ice cream, 'cause if I stay, he might see the wet spot in my jeans." She joked. She then took the basket from me and walked away.

I hadn't taken a single step away from where I was standing when I suddenly felt a gaze. I felt a heavy stare boring holes in my back. I felt my goosebumps break around my scarf-covered-neck.

When I looked back I found him staring at me with his eyes so gray, it almost glinted like silver. Some strands of his dark hair dropped on his smooth forehead, and his thick brows were furrowed. He was looking at me darkly, but I couldn't read his face. His jaw clenched.

I don't know but I couldn't look away....his stare stirred something in me that suddenly made me feel hot within.

Christ, no. I immediately looked away and quickly followed Kat. What is happening to me?

I was the titan of Wall Street until an indictment and an ankle monitor turned my penthouse into a gilded cage. To save face, I was forced into a marriage with Elza, a "mute" girl from the Schmidt family whom I treated as nothing more than a silent piece of furniture while my empire crumbled. The night I was poisoned at a high-society gala, a mysterious server in an oversized uniform saved my life with terrifying, clinical precision. They disappeared into the night, leaving me with a silver cufflink and a burning obsession to find the shadow who held my life in their hands. Back home, I took my frustration out on Elza, telling her she was "exhausting to look at" and "smelled like sickness" after her charity visits. Her own family treated her like a stray dog, trying to humiliate her at the next gala by dressing her in what they claimed was a cheap knockoff while whispering to the press that she was nothing but a high-end escort. "Stay out of my way," I would growl at her, never noticing the steel in her eyes. I sat at my table, watching my rivals' stocks plummet and wondering who "The Zero"—the legendary financial ghost—really was. I never suspected that the woman I ignored was the same one solving the equations that were currently burning Manhattan to the ground. The injustice peaked when Elza stood before the city's elite, not as a victim, but as a queen. She dropped over a hundred million dollars to buy back her family’s legacy, revealing a secret fortune that made my own empire look like pocket change. As I grabbed her wrist and saw the small red mole hidden beneath her watch, the truth hit me like a physical blow. The silent wife I had despised was the savior I had been hunting, and she was finally done playing the victim. "We have a lot to talk about, wife," I whispered, realizing I had been sleeping next to the most dangerous woman in the world.

I sat on the edge of the examination table, the crinkle of the sanitary paper sounding like thunder in the sterile room. The doctor didn't even look at me as he confirmed the news: the pregnancy was over. My husband, Keyon, didn't answer my call. He just sent an automated text: "In a meeting." When I returned to our cold mansion, I found his iPad glowing with a message from his "muse," Katina. He was throwing her a secret gala tonight-on our third wedding anniversary. He told her he couldn't wait to escape the "boring" and "draining" atmosphere I created at home. Keyon didn't stumble in until 3 AM, smelling of Katina's perfume with a smear of red on his collar. When I handed him the divorce papers, he laughed in my face. He called me a "glorified housekeeper" with no skills and no future, promising I'd be back in three days begging for a subway ticket. He even bet his friends ten thousand dollars that I wouldn't survive a week without his name. He had his assistant cancel my credit cards and block my gate access before I even reached the end of the driveway. He wanted me to starve. He wanted me to crawl. He sat in his office, mocking the "desperate" woman who pawned her three-million-dollar wedding ring for scrap metal just to pay for a meal. I stood on the rainy curb, watching the man I had protected for three years treat my life like trash. He didn't know about the ultrasound I just threw in the bin. He didn't know that while he was calling me "dull," I was the one secretly writing the code that kept his billion-dollar empire from collapsing. As I slid into a cheap Uber, I opened a hidden, encrypted app on my phone. The screen refreshed to a dashboard for an account Keyon didn't know existed. The balance was ten figures long-the accumulated wealth of "Solaris," the world's most elusive tech genius. Keyon thinks he just evicted a parasite, but he's about to find out he just declared war on the only person who can hit "delete" on his entire life.

I went to the City Clerk’s office for a routine copy of my marriage license to finalize a trust fund audit. I expected a simple piece of paper, but the clerk’s pitying look told me my entire life was a lie. "The license was never finalized, Ms. Oliver. In the eyes of the state, you are single." The three-hundred-guest wedding at the Plaza and the Vogue features meant nothing. My husband, Gray Cooley, had intentionally filed the documents with a "procedural defect" so he could discard me without a legal divorce. Moments later, an iCloud invite titled "Our Little Secret" popped up on my screen. It was a photo of my best friend, Brylee, holding a positive pregnancy test at our Hamptons estate. Gray’s text to her was the final blow: "Happy anniversary, babe. This baby is the best gift. Once the trust unlocks today, we’re done with the charade." I soon discovered they were even stealing my career, reassigning my architectural masterpiece to Brylee while preparing my eviction notice. Gray's mother called me a "barren mule" in a leaked recording, mocking the infertility I suffered after saving Gray’s life in a construction accident. I wasn't a wife; I was a three-year placeholder used to secure his inheritance. How could the man I bled for treat me like a disposable prop? How could my best friend carry his child while pretending to comfort me through my darkest moments? The betrayal burned until it turned into a cold, hard stone of fury. I didn't cry. Instead, I walked into the penthouse of the Barretts, the Cooleys' most powerful rivals. I signed a marriage contract with Kane Barrett, the man the tabloids called the "Beast of Wall Street." "I want a wedding," I told his father, my voice steady and lethal. "Bigger than the one I had with Gray." If they wanted me gone, they would have to watch me become the woman who owns their world.
