The Billionaire's Obsession
Seraphina Harrington’s twenty-first birthday was supposed to be her escape from her greedy stepfamily. Instead, they drug her, planning to sell her to a disgusting investor to clear their debts. Running for her life in a heavy downpour, she has only one person left to call—Dominic Mercer, her cold, intimidating billionaire guardian who has always kept her at arm's length.
When she collapses into his penthouse completely drenched and helpless, the rules change instantly. The raw, hidden tension between them explodes into a dark, addictive passion that neither can control. By morning, the ice-cold CEO is back, locking her away in his luxury apartment for her own protection while demanding her absolute obedience behind closed doors.
Now, Seraphina is trapped between her intense craving for the man who saved her and her fear of being completely controlled. Dominic is ready to destroy anyone who tries to touch her, but his protection feels a lot like possession. Will his dark obsession be her ultimate salvation, or will her guardian end up ruining her completely?

Chapter: CHAPTER 10Dominic answered the phone on the third ring, his voice instantly dropping into that cold, business-like tone that made him sound like a complete stranger."Speak," he muttered, walking away from the bed toward the large floor-to-ceiling windows. He kept his back to me, but I could see the reflection of his tense shoulders in the dark glass. "What do you mean she’s not at her apartment? I paid the landlord to lock her out."I pulled the ruined duvet up to my chin, my body still trembling from the aftershocks of the orgasm. I listened closely, holding my breath. He was talking about Beatrice. My stepmother wasn't the type to just lie down and accept defeat. She was a leech; she had spent the last ten years sucking my father’s bank accounts dry, and she wouldn't just vanish into the night without a fight."Find her," Dominic growled into the receiver, his thumb pressing hard against the side of the phone. "Check her sister’s place in the suburbs.

Chapter: CHAPTER 9Seraphina Harrington POVDominic handed me the glass of water without saying a word, his expression already slipping back into that cool, professional mask. I took it, my fingers brushing against his warm palm. My hand was shaking so badly that the water sloshed against the rim. He watched me for a second, then walked over to the bathroom, leaving me alone in the massive bed.The heavy, white noise of the shower started up from the adjoining room.I leaned my head back against the headboard, taking a slow sip of the water. My throat felt completely parched from all the screaming I had done earlier. Down below, the ache was intense, a deep, throbbing soreness that served as a loud reminder of what he had just done to me. His semen was slowly cooling inside me, leaking out onto my inner thighs in thick, sticky patches. It felt dirty, but it was a dirty that I was quickly becoming addicted to.I looked down at the gray sheets. They were already ruined again,

Chapter: CHAPTER 8Seraphina Harrington POVI watched the security monitor as Clara Brooks stiffened, her eyes narrowing at the guard before she turned and walked back into the elevator. The screen went dark.I leaned my back against the cold wall of the foyer, my heart thumping against my ribs. Dominic’s world was bleeding into mine, or rather, I was being swallowed by his. Clara Brooks looked sophisticated, sharp, and entirely in her element. She belonged in his world. I was just the messy, broken ward hidden away in his penthouse, wearing his clothes and smelling like his skin.If his legal counsel found out I was here, how long before the rest of the board knew? How long before the rumors started whispering that Dominic Mercer was sleeping with the girl he was supposed to protect? He said he didn't care about the rules, but a man like him didn't get to the top by letting scandals ruin his reputation.I dragged my feet back to the bedroom. The dark sheets had been

Chapter: CHAPTER 7Seraphina Harrington POVThe morning sun streamed through the heavy gray drapes, cutting a bright line across the dark hardwood floor of Dominic’s bedroom. I blinked against the light, my head throbbing with a dull, heavy ache. For a second, I didn't recognize the minimalist concrete ceiling or the massive size of the bed. Then, the scent hit me—cedar wood, expensive leather, and the heavy, musky smell of sex.Everything came rushing back. The drug. The rain. The way Dominic had taken me against the shower wall, and then again on these very sheets until my legs couldn't stop shaking.I tried to sit up, but a sharp groan escaped my lips. Every muscle in my body ached. The skin between my thighs felt raw, slightly swollen, and a sticky wetness trickled out of me the moment I shifted. He had filled me completely, leaving his mark deep inside my body, and my skin was bruised with the dark purple prints of his large fingers.I looked at the space b

Chapter: CHAPTER 6Dominic Mercer POVThe bedroom door clicked shut, the heavy mahogany barrier finally cutting me off from the sight of her tangled in my sheets. I stood in the dim hallway, my bare chest rising and falling in sharp, ragged breaths. My sweatpants felt heavy, riding low on my hips, and my skin was still slick with a mixture of my sweat and her juices.Even now, the sharp scent of her—sweet vanilla mixed with the raw, metallic tang of my own release—lingered in my nose, driving me crazy.I looked down at my hands. They were trembling.Dominic Mercer, the man who controlled half the shipping lanes in the country, the man who never made a move without three backup plans, was shaking. For a whole year, I had played the part of the dutiful guardian. I had stood at her father’s funeral, looked Richard in the eye before they buried him, and silently swore to protect his only daughter. I had kept my distance on purpose. I ignored the way her body was filling out, ignored the soft, vulnerable loo

Chapter: CHAPTER 5Seraphina Harrington POVI carefully buttoned the oversized white shirt Dominic had thrown at me. The cotton felt crisp, smelling exactly like his cedar cologne, and the hem fell all the way down to my mid-thighs. My body was still humming, a deep, heavy ache settling between my legs where he had just stretched me open.Dominic stood by the massive floor-to-ceiling window, his back to me. His broad shoulders were tense under a clean black t-shirt, his hands shoved deep into the pockets of his dark sweatpants. Looking at him now, you wouldn't think he had just spent the last hour ruthlessly hammering into me, marking me as his. He looked completely detached again. Like the untouchable billionaire my father had trusted.He didn't turn around when I stepped off the bed. My bare feet made a soft padding sound against the polished hardwood floor."You're staying here," he said, his voice level, monotone, and completely devoid of the gravelly rasp he used when he was coming inside me. "I’ve

Chapter: CHAPTER 15TALIA POVAng bilis ng mga pangyayari. Sa isang kurap, nakatayo na si Santi sa pagitan namin ni Donya Aurora. Bahagya pa niyang itinalikod ang katawan niya para iharang ako sa paningin ng madrasta niya. Ramdam ko ang init na nagmumula sa kaniya, kasabay ng mabibigat niyang paghinga na parang galing sa isang mahabang takbo."Anong ginagawa mo rito, Aurora?" malamig na tanong ni Santi. Hindi niya ito tinawag na ina o mommy. 'Aurora' lang, walang kaabog-abog, na nagpapatunay kung gaano kalamig ang relasyon nilang dalawa."Santiago! Is ganyan mo na ba kausapin ang natitira mong pamilya?" Maarteng humawak sa dibdib niya ang matandang babae, pilit na nag-aact na nasasaktan pero kitang-kita naman ang panlalaki ng mga mata niya sa galit. "Pumunta ako rito dahil nababaliw na ang buong board ng kumpanya! Nag-leak ang balita tungkol sa pagkasira ng engagement niyo ni Chantal, at ngayon nalaman ko pang kinukupkop mo ang... ang babaeng ito at ang kaniyang anak?!""Thi

Chapter: CHAPTER 14TALIA POVPagkaalis ni Santi, halos hindi ko na nagawang mabitawan ang cellphone ko. Panay ang refresh ko sa mga social media platforms at entertainment sites gamit ang dummy account ko. Kabado ako sa bawat minutong lumilipas. Kahit sinabi na ni Santi na hahawakan niya ang sitwasyon, mahirap pa ring umasa na lang sa salita ng isang bilyonaryo. Limang taon kong binuo ang tahimik na buhay namin ni Zeke sa malayo, kaya ang maisip na isang click lang ng mga paparazzi ay pwedeng magbago ang lahat, parang dinidikdik ang puso ko sa tindi ng stress."Teacher Lia, look oh. Ginawa ko pong plane 'yung robot," tawag sa akin ni Liam habang iwinawagayway ang pinagdugtong-dugtong na laruan.Pilit kong ibinalik ang pokus ko sa dalawang bata. "Wow, super galing naman ni Liam buddy. Sige nga, pakita mo kay Zeke kung paano lumipad 'yan.""Zoom! Zoom!" agad na sumali si Zeke, nakataas din ang sarili niyang laruan habang umiikot sa paligid ng maliit na lamesa.Kahit pa

Chapter: CHAPTER 13TALIA POVKinabukasan, maaga akong nagising dahil sa mahinang yugyog sa balikat ko. Pagdilat ko, ang nakangiting mukha agad ni Zeke ang bumungad sa akin. Nakabihis na siya—suot ang paborito niyang t-shirt na may print ng dinosaur—at mukhang kanina pa gising."Mommy, gising na po. Sabi ni Nanny Rosa, waiting na po si Kuya Liam sa playroom," excited na bulong niya, habang hila-hila ang dulo ng kumot ko.Napangiti ako kahit medyo mabigat pa ang mga pilikmata ko dahil sa puyat kagabi. "Opo, heto na. Sige na, lumabas ka muna at tulungan mo si Nanny Rosa mag-ayos ng mga laruan."Nang makalabas si Zeke, naupo muna ako sa gilid ng kama at hinilot ang sentido ko. Pagod pa rin ang katawan ko, pero mas pagod ang utak ko. Ang huling usapan namin ni Santi sa balcony kagabi ay paulit-ulit na nag-e-echo sa isip ko. Ang dulas ng boses niya, ang tindi ng pagsisisi sa mga mata niya—mahirap i-absorb. Ang hirap paniwalaan na ang isang makapangyarihang tulad niya ay pwedeng magmukhang ganoon karupok sa di

Chapter: CHAPTER 12TALIA POVNarinig ko ang pag-click ng pinto ng sala nang tuluyan nang lumabas si Santi ng suite namin. Doon pa lang lumubog ang mga balikat ko. Napasandal ako sa likod ng pinto ng kwarto ko, napapikit nang mariin, at huminga nang napakalalim.Grabe, buong araw akong parang sasabog.Simula kaninang umaga noong hinarangan kami ng mga bodyguard sa gate, hanggang sa pag-uusap namin sa dining table, at lalo na kanina nang makita ko siyang karga si Zeke—hindi nagbago ang tindi ng kabog sa dibdib ko. Akala ko talaga kagabi, kapag nalaman niya ang totoo, gagamitin niya agad ang yaman niya para agawan ako ng karapatan. Iyon ang pinakamalaki kong takot. Pero nang sabihin niyang hindi niya ako gagawan ng masama at gusto niya lang kaming protektahan laban sa madrasta niya at sa pamilya ni Chantal, medyo nabawasan ang galit ko. Bahagya lang. Dahil alam kong kahit anong anggulo tingnan, kinulong niya pa rin kami rito sa mansyon niya.At ang pinakamalalang bahagi?

Chapter: CHAPTER 11SANTIAGO POVPinaluwag ko ang suot kong necktie habang pababa ng SUV, pero hindi non nabawasan ang bigat na nararamdaman ko sa dibdib ko. Hawak ko ang brown folder na naglalaman ng background investigation kay Talia at sa pamilya ni Chantal. Pumasok ako sa mansyon na may iisang layunin—ang siguraduhing ligtas ang mag-ina ko, kahit pa magmukha akong masama sa paningin ni Talia.Maghapon akong walang naging focus sa board meetings. Habang nagsasalita ang mga investors, ang utak ko ay nandoon pa rin sa opisina ko kagabi, partikular na sa sandaling ibinigay sa akin ang DNA result.Naisip ko kung gaano ako kagago sa loob ng limang taon. Noong mga panahong bulag ako, bawat hawak, bawat bulong, at bawat amoy ng lavender ng nurse ko ang nagpapanatili sa katinuan ko. Mahal ko na siya noon pa lang, kahit hindi ko nakikita ang mukha niya. Kaya noong magmulat ako pagkatapos ng operasyon at si Chantal ang nakita ko, pinilit kong mahalin si Chantal. Sinabi ko sa sarili

Chapter: CHAPTER 10TALIA POVNaiwan akong nakatayo sa gitna ng engrandeng sala habang pinapanood si Santi na karga si Zeke paakyat sa hagdan. Rinig na rinig ko ang inosenteng tawa ng anak ko habang tinuturo ang malaking chandelier sa ceiling. Si Santi naman, kung makangiti, akala mo nakapuntos sa isang multi-million business deal.*Hanga rin ako sa kapal ng mukha ng isang 'to. Akala mo walang nangyaring pananakot kanina, ah.*Huminga ako nang malalim para pakalmahing muli ang dibdib ko. Okay, Talia. Isipin mo na lang, trabaho ito. Para kay Liam, at para na rin sa kaligtasan ni Zeke habang magulo pa ang labas. Pero hindi ibig sabihin niyon ay magpapakayuko na ako sa bawat gustuhin ng bilyonaryong 'yan."Ms. Lia?"Nalingat ang pansin ko nang lumapit muli si Nanny Rosa. May bitbit siyang panibagong set ng susi at may kasamang dalawang batang maid na may tulak-tulak na cleaning cart."Inayos na po namin ang master suite sa tabi ng silid ni Sir Santiago, doon sa main wing," nakangiting sabi ng matandang yaya
