HIS BLIND OBSESSION Chapter 53 — Noah's POV
Daniel looked terrible.That was the first thing. He stepped out of the elevator with his coat still on and his hair not right and the easy warmth of him completely gone, replaced by something tight and hollowed out that I had never seen on his face before.He saw me first.Stopped."Noah," he said."He's in his office," I said. "He's ready to see you."Daniel nodded. Didn't move immediately."I didn't know," he said. To me. Not asking for absolution. Just saying it."I know," I said."I should have—""Daniel," I said. "Go in."He went.I stayed at my desk.The office door closed.I pulled up the press response Marcus had drafted and read through it and made three edits and sent it back and tried very hard not to track the sounds coming from down the hall.I failed at that completely.Not words. Just tone. Damien's voice, low and even, the controlled version. Then Daniel's, tighter, the hollowed out quality of someone being careful with themselves. Then silence. Then Damien again.The
HIS BLIND OBSESSION Chapter 52 — Damien's POV
I knew before Marcus said it. I had known for twenty minutes, sitting with Noah's hand over mine, running through the list the same way I ran through everything methodically, without sentiment, until only one answer remained. Walsh. Dr Anand. Marcus. Daniel. Noah. Not Walsh. He had been my doctor for three years. His entire practice depended on discretion. Not Dr Anand. She had called Noah directly to warn him. That was not the behaviour of someone selling information to the press. Not Marcus. He had been with me for seven years. He had protected things far more damaging than a medical procedure. Not Noah. That left one person. My phone rang. Daniel. I answered. "Damien," he said. His voice was wrong. The warmth stripped out of it, replaced by something I had not heard from him in a long time. "I need to tell you something." "I know," I said. A pause. "You know," he said. "Yes," I said. "Damien—" "Tell me how," I said. "Not who. I know who. Tell me how it happened." A
HIS BLIND OBSESSION Chapter 51 — Noah's POV
The article went live at six am. I was already awake. I had been awake since four, lying in the dark thinking about Hale's new terms that Damien hadn't told me about but that Marcus had texted me at eleven pm anyway because Marcus had decided I deserved to know. He wants Noah removed from Cole Enterprises entirely. And Damien had said no without hesitating. I had read that text four times and then put my phone face down and stared at the ceiling until six am when Victoria's piece dropped and my phone lit up like something had caught fire. I opened it. The headline was: **NOAH CARTER: THE MAN WHO SAVED A $38 MILLION DEAL AND WHY RICHARD HALE DOESN'T WANT YOU TO KNOW HIS NAME** I sat up. Read it from the beginning. Victoria had done exactly what she said. Not one word about the romantic angle. Not one word about the filing's implications. Just Noah Carter, twenty three, literature degree, who had found a liability clause an entire legal team missed, who had saved the Calloway
HIS BLIND OBSESSION Chapter 50 — Damien's POV
Victoria answered before the first ring finished. "Damien," she said. "I've been waiting for your call." "You've seen it," I said. "I saw it forty minutes ago," she said. "I've been watching my phone since." A pause. "How is Noah." "Here," I said. "Handling it better than most people would." "Of course he is," she said. The warmth in her voice was real. Victoria Mercer did not perform warmth. "Tell me what you need." "Hale is trying to win in the press," I said. "He knows the criminal case is solid so he's attacking credibility. Mine and Noah's. He wants public opinion to do what his lawyers can't." "Yes," she said. "I read the filing. It's not legally sophisticated but it doesn't need to be. It just needs to make noise." A pause. "What do you want to do about it." "I want to control the narrative," I said. "Not react to his. I want our version of events in print before his version becomes the only one people know." "Our version," she said carefully. "Meaning." "The timeline
HIS BLIND OBSESSION Chapter 49 — Noah's POV
I called Eli first. He answered on the second ring, which meant he had already seen something. Eli always answered slowly when everything was fine. "Noah," he said. "I know," I said. "Before you say anything. I know." "It's everywhere," he said. "My phone has been going since an hour ago. People from school texting me asking if my brother is sleeping with a billionaire." I closed my eyes. "Eli—" "I don't care about that part," he said immediately. "I don't care what people think. I care that you're okay." I sat down on the edge of the conference room chair Marcus had left empty. "I'm okay," I said. "Are you," he said. "Yes," I said. "Noah." The voice. The one that meant he had been thinking about something for longer than this phone call. "Is it true." I said nothing for a moment. "Which part," I said carefully. "The part where you're in love with him," Eli said. Simply,cutting straight to it without blinking. The conference room was very quiet. "Eli," I said. "I'm n
HIS BLIND OBSESSION Chapter 48 — Damien's POV
I stood in the conference room with both hands flat on the table and felt something in me go very still and very cold. "Read me the source," I said. "Damien," Marcus said carefully. "Maybe we should—" "Read me the source," I said again. Marcus read it. A nurse from the hospital's third floor. Named in the article, willing to go on record, paid by someone whose name was not yet confirmed but did not need to be. "Hale," I said. "We don't have proof yet," Marcus said. "I don't need proof," I said. "I know exactly who pays a nurse to confirm a patient's visitor log to a tabloid." I turned toward the window I couldn't see. Three years. Three years of careful control, of systems built to keep this exact kind of exposure from happening, and Richard Hale had found the one thing I had never protected because I had never imagined needing to protect it. Noah. "Where is Hale right now," I said. "Damien," Marcus said. "I don't think—" "Where is he," I said. A pause. "His office. Midt
HIS BLIND OBSESSION Chapter 34 — Damien’s POV
I gave him full access to the Mercer file at four fifteen. I sat with that decision for approximately thirty seconds before I made it and then I made it and told Marcus and went back to work and did not think about it. That was fine. It was a practical decision. Noah had found a clause three seni
HIS BLIND OBSESSION Chapter 33 — Noah’s POV
Daniel was already there when I arrived. Corner table. Two drinks. He pushed one toward me when I sat down. “I don’t drink coffee,” I said. “I know,” he said. “It’s tea.” I looked at it. “Damien mentioned it,” he said. Like that was normal. Like my employer had been on the phone with his
HIS BLIND OBSESSION Chapter 28 — Damien’s POV
I woke up at five forty. Not from sleep. From the particular state I had existed in for most of the night, horizontal, eyes closed, mind running at full capacity on everything I had told it not to think about. Walsh. The procedure. Lena sitting across from Noah in a café with information she had n
HIS BLIND OBSESSION Chapter 26 — Damien’s POV
The call ended at ten twelve. I put the phone down and sat for a moment and then noticed it. Wrong. Something in the penthouse was wrong. I had spent three years learning to read this space through sound and air and the weight of presence. I knew when someone was in it and when they weren’t the
