Bad boy's obsession Chapter 34-The Girl Without a Shadow
Darkness.Complete.Absolute.The candles died so suddenly that for one terrible second I thought I had gone blind.Then something beneath the nursery floor shifted.Not a vibration.Not a tremor.Movement.Slow.Massive.Alive.Wood groaned beneath our feet.The sound echoed upward through the ancient room like the breathing of something sleeping far below.Except whatever slept beneath us—was waking up.“Belle!”Ethan's hand wrapped around my arm instantly.Hard.Protective.His voice sounded distant beneath the roar of blood pounding inside my ears.Because the child still stood in front of me.Still smiling.Still wearing Lyra's face.And God—I wanted it to be her.Even now.Even after the impossible grin.Even after realizing she cast no shadow.Some part of me still wanted to believe.The little girl tilted her head.The movement wasn't natural.Too slow.Too deliberate.Like something unfamiliar with human bodies had studied children from a distance and decided this was close
Bad boy's obsession Chapter 33-The Nursery Beneath the House
Belle’s POV The basement door stood open like a mouth. Dark. Waiting. The cold pouring from beneath the house no longer felt natural. It felt alive. Like something down there had finally realized we could hear it. No one moved. Not me. Not Ethan. Not Macy. The entire hallway remained frozen in silence while the darkness below the staircase breathed softly against the walls. Then the voice came again. Small. Fragile. “Mama?” My heart stopped. Not metaphorically. Physically. A sharp pain struck through my chest so violently I grabbed the wall beside me to steady myself. Because the voice sounded real. Too real. Not distorted. Not monstrous. A child. Just a child. Ethan stepped in front of me immediately. “No.” His voice came out harsher this time. Terrified. The kind of fear that only exists when someone has already survived the thing they’re looking at once before. “You cannot go down there.” “But—” “That is not Lyra.” The words cracked through the ha
Bad boy's obsession Chapter 32-The child beneath
Belle’s POVGrief has a memory of its own.That was the first thing I understood after learning about the child.After learning about her.Not some faceless tragedy hidden inside an ancient kingdom.Not just another loss buried in Selene’s past.My daughter.The words alone felt impossible.Wrong.I was seventeen years old.I had never even held someone’s hand long enough to call it love.And yet now—there were moments when my chest physically ached with the memory of carrying a child who no longer existed.Some nights I woke up crying before I even remembered why.Other nights I woke hearing laughter.Soft.Tiny.Coming from somewhere beneath the house.Always beneath.The basement remained closed for three days after the notebook changed.Three days of silence.Three days of pretending none of us heard footsteps below the floorboards after midnight.Ethan barely left my side anymore.Macy barely slept.And me—I was falling apart quietly.Because memories were no longer arriving li
Bad boy's obsession Chapter 31-The Girl the Kingdom Buried
Belle’s POVThere are some truths that do not arrive all at once.They bloom slowly inside you.Like poison learning your bloodstream.After the throne room disappeared, nothing felt real anymore.Not my house.Not Ethan.Not even my own reflection.Because every time I looked at my face now—I saw traces of someone older staring back.Selene.The name followed me everywhere after that night.Inside my thoughts.Inside my dreams.Inside the silence between heartbeats.And the worst part was—it no longer felt unfamiliar.It felt remembered.The basement door had been sealed again by morning.Not physically.The wood remained cracked open slightly.But none of us could force it wider.Every time Ethan tried, the door refused to move.Like the darkness beneath it had become heavier than matter itself.Mason—or Macy, as Selene once called him—stood near the kitchen window in exhausted silence while rain slid softly down the glass.He looked different now that I remembered him.Not phys
Bad boy's obsession Chapter 30- Ancient Queen
Belle’s POVDarkness has a sound.Nobody tells you that.People think darkness is silent.It isn’t.It breathes.It remembers.And beneath my house—it whispered.The moment the lights died, the world disappeared with them.No walls.No staircase.No Ethan.No Mason.Just blackness swallowing everything so completely it felt alive.Then came the breathing.Not one.Many.Slow.Ancient.Surrounding me from every direction.My pulse hammered violently inside my chest.“Ethan?”My voice barely existed.No answer.Then softly—“Belle.”Not Ethan’s voice.Not Mason’s.A woman’s.Low.Smooth.Old enough to sound tired.The darkness shifted around me.And suddenly I realized something horrifying.I wasn’t standing in my house anymore.The air had changed.The smell too.No dust.No rain.Instead:Smoke.Burning oil.Flowers.And blood.A faint golden light appeared ahead of me slowly.Flickering.Torchlight.My breathing stopped.Stone walls emerged from the dark.Massive.Ancient.Covered i
Bad boy's obsession Chapter 29-Beneath the House
Belle’s POVSome houses remember things.Not memories.Not moments.Things.The kind that settle into walls slowly.The kind that wait beneath floorboards.Breathing quietly while families pretend not to hear them.I stood frozen in the middle of the living room while the knocking continued beneath us.Three slow knocks.Then silence.Then three more.Not random.Patient.Like something underneath the house understood waiting better than humans did.The rain outside had softened now, but somehow that made everything worse.Storms at least sounded alive.This silence felt dead.Ethan’s flashlight shook slightly in his hand as he stared at the old storage door near the kitchen.The door I suddenly couldn’t stop looking at.My chest tightened painfully.Because now that I remembered it existed—I couldn’t understand how I had forgotten it for so long.It had always been there.Always.Old white paint peeling near the edges.A rusted brass knob.Faint scratches near the bottom like someth
Bad boy's obsession Chapter 13- Where The Dead Listens
Belle POVShe didn’t remember leaving the school.Not the hallway.Not the doors.Not the moment her feet carried her past the gates.One second she was there—surrounded by whispers, suffocating under memories that refused to stay buried—And the next—Silence.Real silence.The kind that didn’t be
Bad boy's obsession Chapter 10- Like It Never Happened
Belle POVMorning came like it always did.Quiet.Unforgiving.Uninterested in what had broken the night before.Belle stood in front of the mirror, her reflection staring back at her with the same calm expression she had mastered over the years. There were no visible cracks. No trembling. No sign
Bad boy's obsession Chapter 7- The Crack In The Ice
Ethan POVSomething was off.Ethan felt it before he even saw her.The school buzzed like always—laughter spilling too loudly into the halls, lockers slamming, voices overlapping in meaningless noise. It was the kind of chaos he usually ignored without effort. None of it ever held his attention lon
Bad boy's obsession Chapter 6- The Silence That Screams
Belle POV The house was too quiet.Belle noticed it the moment she stepped inside.It wasn’t just the absence of sound—it was the kind of silence that pressed against your ears, heavy and suffocating, like the walls themselves were holding their breath.No distant hum of her mother’s voice driftin
