The Don’s Dangerous Addiction
“Take them off yourself, or I will do it for you.”
Ten sessions. Two hundred thousand dollars. Her brother’s life for her body.
Dr. Avery St. Clair signed a contract in blood. To save her family, she has to fix the mind of Obsidian City’s most feared monster, Dominic Kessler. He’s a Mafia Don rotting from the inside out. A bullet gave him C-PTSD and a touch so sensitive he can’t stand being touched. Avery is the only antidote who can calm him down. So he locked her in his villa.
But Dominic is playing a game he’s already lost.
He doesn’t know Avery is the woman from seven years ago. The stranger who saved him on that dark gambling ship and disappeared before sunrise.
He doesn’t know the scar on his wrist is burned into her memory.
And most of all, he doesn’t know the autistic little girl hiding in her clinic is his own daughter.
While Avery hides the truth behind her professional mask, their little girl feels his every nightmare. Every flashback. Every crack in his monster mask.
When the secrets finally come out, his empire will fall. He’ll lose his sight. His throne. The only woman who ever made him feel human.
To win her back, he’ll have to destroy the monster he became. And help her burn down the man who murdered her parents.
She won’t make it easy.
This is not a love story. It’s a monster learning to beg.

Chapter: Chapter 150 Misaligned ProtectionThe violent impact of her back against the door sent a shockwave straight up her spine to the crown of her head. The cold wood pressed against her shoulder blades, unyielding and solid.In the pitch darkness, Avery instinctively curled her body and clenched her fists, every muscle primed for defense. Her knuckles were white, her nails biting into her palms as she tried to steady her racing pulse.A marine-scented cologne suddenly drew close. The scent was subtle—clean, restrained, carrying a faint, elusive herbal undertone that she had caught before in a different context.This scent… was familiar.Outside, a bolt of lightning split the night sky, illuminating the room in a stark, white flash. The brief burst of light revealed the sharp, refined face before her—those familiar features, those glasses she had come to recognize.Evan locked the door behind him with a soft click and released her arm, stepping back just enough to give her space."Don't be afraid. It's me."Evan leaned down

Chapter: Chapter 149 The Canary Can't Fly Out of the CageThe morning of Sunset City was completely engulfed by a sudden, torrential downpour. Rain hammered against the streets, turning the gutters into rushing streams. At the entrance of St. George's Academy, the heavy rain battered the leaves into a frantic rustling, the sound almost deafening in the storm.Avery held Dorothea's hand tightly, watching as her daughter completed the complex and high-level enrollment procedures. When she saw the little girl being personally escorted into the teaching building by a Royal Fellow—a distinguished academic figure whose reputation spanned the entire Federation—the knot that had been lodged in her chest for days finally loosened. She had been carrying that anxiety for nights on end, barely sleeping, and now a weight she hadn't even realized she was holding finally lifted."Avery."A warm, familiar voice cut through the curtain of rain.Evan stood not far away, holding an umbrella. He was dressed in his usual refined manner today—a perfectly tailored

Chapter: Chapter 148 The Uninvited NeighborWhen Avery walked out of the hospital, night had fully fallen.Too much had happened in a single day—from the Kessler Group's explosive video that had shaken the Federation, to Evan Thorne's unannounced arrival. Each event landed on her chest like a heavy stone, pressing down until she could barely breathe. Her shoulders ached from the constant tension, and her temples throbbed with a dull, persistent pain that no amount of rubbing could ease.She dragged her exhausted body back to the rented apartment. As she turned the corner into the long hallway, a commotion reached her ears—the shuffle of hurried footsteps and the dull thud of heavy furniture being moved. The sounds echoed off the narrow walls, sharp and intrusive in the otherwise quiet corridor.The suite next door, which had been vacant for months, was now wide open. Several movers in matching uniforms were carrying in a pure black leather sofa. Their boots scuffed against the floor as they maneuvered the bulky piece through th

Chapter: Chapter 147: Mr. Thorne, You've Overstepped!Half an hour after the inspection tour, the noise in the administrative corridor gradually faded.Avery returned to her private consultation room. She had just closed the door and hadn't yet had a chance to exhale when a soft click sounded behind her.On the patient chair, which should have been empty, someone was already seated.Evan Thorne had removed the gold-rimmed glasses that masked his true nature in public—the lenses that had projected that warm, gentle facade to the world. He was folding them slowly, methodically, before slipping them into his inner pocket. His posture was relaxed, yet every line of his body radiated controlled power.He leaned back in the chair, his impeccably tailored suit lending him an air of aristocratic elegance. His eyes, no longer obscured by glass, gleamed with unrestrained amusement—thick, almost syrupy, impossible to read."Long time no see." Evan let out a low, gentle laugh, his voice warm as silk.Avery's fingers tightened around the door handle.

Chapter: Chapter 146 The Message About DominicIn the rumors spreading through Obsidian City, it was said that the underground emperor with the surname Kessler had been killed.Whispers of "Dominic Kessler is dying" and "the Kessler dynasty has fallen" spread like oil thrown into boiling water, exploding across both the financial world and the underworld with explosive force.Countless greedy eyes fixed hungrily on the massive, unclaimed prize that was Kessler's empire, circling like vultures eager to tear it apart and devour the scraps.But the tyrant at the very center of the storm sat quietly against his headboard, a faint ember glowing between his fingers, the corner of his mouth curving into a sudden, sharp smile."How far have the rumors spread?"Drake stood with his head bowed, his voice taut with tension."Boss, several of the subsidiary families have already begun making covert contact with Keller's former associates. Tonight, they're even planning to jointly pressure the board, demanding that you... appear in person imme

Chapter: Chapter 145 Truly Timely AidSunset City Private Convalescent Hospital.Avery had changed into a crisp new white coat, her chest bearing the elegant nameplate engraved with "Doris Morris." The fabric of the coat still carried that fresh, just-issued scent, and the nameplate caught the light with every movement she made.The deputy director personally led the way, not only speaking with extreme courtesy but also assigning her the most sun-drenched independent senior consultation room in the psychology department. It had a massive floor-to-ceiling window that let the spring light pour in, warming the wooden desk until it was pleasant to the touch. The view overlooked the hospital's manicured gardens, a sea of green stretching toward the horizon.However, such an unprecedented "parachute" appointment—a stunningly beautiful newcomer landing directly in the department's most coveted position—landed like a massive bomb in the eyes of the other senior doctors.During the lunch break, the break room was thick with the ar
