ANDREA

I lie in bed staring at the ceiling for what feels like hours, putting off the inevitable. Logan wants me gone.

That's not true, a small voice says somewhere in the back of my mind. Maybe it isn't. But that's what it feels like. They say it's protection, but how can they not see what this is doing to me? This feels like abandonment. The same kind I've spent years trying to forget.

I finally drag myself out of bed and into the bathroom. The shower doesn't help. The warmth doesn't re

  • Their Deadly Obsession   Chapter 27

    ANDREA “It’s pretty simple,” Reid explains, holding up a black flash drive. “You plug this into the main server in the office. I designed it so that once it’s inserted, it bypasses all encryption and firewalls and starts pulling classified files.” I listen carefully to every word. I need this to go right for all of us. “So I just plug it in and it does everything?” I confirm. He nods. “More or less. The transfer won’t be instant though. Depending on their security layers, it could take anywhere from one to five minutes. A recent firewall update could slow it down even more.” Killian leans in from my other side. “The drive handles the hacking. Your job is to stay calm, keep watch, and make sure no one catches you. Once it’s plugged in, a progress bar will appear. Just wait until it finishes.” “What if someone walks in?” I ask, looking up into his mismatched eyes. “You pull the drive and get out immediately,” he says seriously. “We lose the data, but your safety comes

    ANDREA The silence after reading the message was suffocating. My fingers tightened in my lap as my heartbeat thundered in my ears. I glanced at Logan. His face was unreadable, but the tension in his jaw and the way his fingers twitched against the table gave him away. Across from him, Reid leaned back with his lips pressed together, his usual smirk completely gone. Killian spoke first. “It’s a taunt,” he muttered, rubbing a hand over his jaw. “He’s just trying to get in our heads.” Austin exhaled through his nose. “And it’s working.” My eyes flicked between them, suspicion growing. “What does he mean by ‘what he taught you’?” I asked. “Why does he sound like he knows exactly how you’ll respond?” No one answered right away. Reid ran a hand over his jaw and exhaled. “Because he does.” My stomach tightened. I looked at Logan, who was still staring at the screen like it was carved from stone. The question slipped out before I could stop it. “How well do you

  • Their Deadly Obsession   Chapter 25

    ANDREAThe air was thick and stifling with heat and exertion. Sweat slicked my skin as I slammed into the mat again. My breath came out sharp and ragged, pain radiating through my back from the impact. Above me, Logan moved slowly, deliberately, like he had all the time in the world. He’d been training me relentlessly. I blinked up at him, chest heaving. The way he looked at me made my stomach tighten. He stood over me, head tilted slightly, dark eyes burning with something intense I didn’t want to name. “You hesitated,” he murmured, voice low and lethal. I swallowed hard, the motion making me hyper-aware of my pulse hammering in my throat. He was still too close, watching me like he was waiting for me to make another mistake. “You do that in the real world,” he breathed, leaning down so his breath ghosted across my cheek, “and you die.” His lips twitched into the faintest, cruelest smirk. “Or,” he added, voice a dark promise, “something worse happens.” God.A shiver ran down

    ANDREAI lay on my side, staring at the shifting shadows on the ceiling. The blankets barely covered me. No matter how many times I shifted or tried to quiet my mind, sleep refused to come. My thoughts kept spinning, everything I learned today, the way the guys looked at me now, how everything felt like it was changing. With a sigh, I rolled onto my back and dragged my fingers through my hair. Maybe I just needed company. The door opened without warning. My body tensed for a second, then relaxed when I saw him. Drew moved through the dark with that effortless confidence only he could pull off. I didn’t bother sitting up. “Breaking and entering now?” “You left the door unlocked,” he pointed out, voice smug but quiet. “It’s like you were inviting trouble.” I rolled my eyes. “And you think you’re the trouble?” “Oh, sweetheart,” he drawled, the smirk clear in his tone. “I know I am.” The bed dipped as he climbed in beside me. I froze for half a second, not from fear, but from ho

  • Their Deadly Obsession   Chapter 23

    REIDIt’s been three days since we arrived, and the safe house feels too quiet. Too still. Nothing like the mansion, where silence was rare, always filled with footsteps, arguments, and laughter. This kind of quiet is heavier. Different. I roll my shoulders and exhale slowly as I tighten the wraps around my knuckles. Across from me, Andrea mimics the motion, but it’s clear she’s never done this before. Her hands move too carefully. She’s overthinking every step. She’s restless. I’ve seen her pacing the halls and staring out windows, expecting shadows to move. She’s pretending she’s fine. She’s not. Neither am I. “Loosen your grip,” I say, cutting through the thick air between us. She scowls but doesn’t argue as I step closer and take her hands in mine, adjusting the wraps before she cuts off her own circulation. Her skin is warm, her pulse racing under my fingers. It spikes when my thumb brushes her wrist. She doesn’t pull away. “Don’t coddle me,” she mutters, watching me throu

    ANDREAThe guys move with sharp precision, their usual relaxed energy replaced by something focused and intense. The garage echoes with the sounds of zippers, the metallic clicks of guns being checked and holstered. Logan and Austin pull weapons from hidden compartments in the wall with practiced efficiency. I swallow hard. I knew they were involved in dangerous work, but seeing it up close is different. There’s something unsettling about how naturally they handle the firearms, their expressions unreadable as they pack them into duffel bags. My stomach twists, not from distrust, but because I do trust them. I just wish they trusted me enough to explain what’s really happening. Lying by omission is still lying. “Alright, let’s go,” Logan announces, sliding into the driver’s seat. No hesitation. No debate. Just pure command. Drew nudges me forward. I climb into the back beside him. He drapes an arm around my shoulders as I settle in, my legs pressed against Killian’s on the other si

    ANDREA AGE 16I close the front door behind me and slip off my tennis shoes, setting them neatly against the wall. Practice ran late, so I'm getting home later than usual. Nobody texted to ask where I was, which is a relief. I hope no one noticed.The house is quiet as I make my way to the kitchen.

    ANDREA AGE 15The plane touches down smoothly, the descent gentler than I expected. The flight itself was mostly uneventful.. everyone else slept through nearly all of it. Not me. It was my first time on a plane, and I was terrified the entire way.When the captain gives the all-clear, I let out a

    ANDREA AGE 13"Your progress is phenomenal," Hailey, my therapist, says.I want to believe her. I want to feel like I've actually been moving forward. But I don't. I still can't think about a basement without my chest seizing up. How is that progress?I hold her gaze, searching for the right words.

    ANDREA AGE 12Four weeks have passed since I moved in with Dorathy and Cade. On my first day, I met their sons. It was awkward.. being around new people always is. But I learned they were all adopted too, which I found strange, though I kept that thought to myself.Logan is the oldest, and easily t
