Chapter 16

  • 16 Mar, 2026 · Mature

The courtroom was packed, with reporters and spectators craning their necks to catch a glimpse of Caden as he took the stand. Sylvie sat in the front row, her hand tightly clasped around Caden's as he testified against his own father.

Caden's voice was steady as he recounted the years of abuse and manipulation he had suffered at his father's hands, the realizations that had led him to turn against the very man who had raised him. But as he spoke, Sylvie could see the toll it was taking on him - the way his jaw clenched, the tension in his shoulders, the flash of pain in his eyes.

    OBSESSED IN THE DARK

    Anaya Sharma never believed one photograph could change her life— until the night she accidentally captured him. Aditya Oberoi. Reclusive billionaire. Cold as polished steel. A man whose name is whispered more than spoken. She shouldn’t have taken his picture. She definitely shouldn’t have caught his attention. Because Aditya isn’t the kind of man who lets things go. And he doesn’t let people go either. What begins as a simple warning becomes something darker, deeper— a pull neither of them can escape. Aditya finds himself obsessed with the girl who dared to defy him, and Anaya is drawn to a man she should fear… yet can’t stay away from. But obsession has rules. Desire has shadows. And the closer she gets, the more she learns that Aditya’s world is full of secrets— some that want her gone, and some that want her broken. Caught between his darkness and her own unraveling emotions, Anaya must decide whether to run from the man who watches her like a storm… or fall into the fire he’s becoming. A story of dangerous attraction, quiet dominance, and a love twisted with obsession— where surrender is inevitable, and escape is impossible.
