His Dark Obsession
CHAPTER 0
I stared at the contract, my heart racing
Become Ethan Wolfe's mistress to save my family's bakery?
It was like a deal with the devil
Our bakery, "Sweet Serendipity" was on the verge of collapse
After my dad's death due to illness, debts had mounted, and we're struggling to stay afloat
I'd do anything to save it
Including surrendering myself to Ethan's desires
Ethan Wolfe || ML
You're mine now, Zara
Ethan Wolfe || ML
Body and soul
His words sent shivers down my spine
Zara Lane || FL
I'm only doing this for my family, Ethan
Ethan and I were childhood friends
But after he moved abroad, he returned as a total stranger
He never even tried to reach out to me after returning
he became really cold, and aggressive
I didn't reached out to him either
He soon inherited his father's business
The most powerful company in the whole country, that no one dares to mess with
After that, we totally parted our ways
However, now all of a sudden, he's offering me help?
He wants me to become his mistress?
There were a lot of questions
But the thought of my mom made me accept the deal, and suppress my questions
CHAPTER 1
Ethan Wolfe's eyes narrowed as he gazed out the window of his high-rise office, his mind fixed on the Lane family's struggling bakery
The same bakery that had been a thorn in his side for years, a constant reminder of the betrayal he'd suffered.
Julian Styles || ML's Personal Assistant
*enters the office*
Julian Styles || ML's Personal Assistant
Sir, the Lane family is here to see you
Ethan's gaze shifted to the door, his eyes locking onto Zara Lane's bright smile as she entered the room
Her sparkling eyes and carefree spirit only fueled his determination.
Ethan Wolfe || ML
Zara, your family's bakery is in dire straits ❄️
Ethan Wolfe || ML
But I'm willing to make you a deal ❄️
Ethan Wolfe || ML
Become my mistress for six months, and I'll pay off your debts and secure your family's business ❄️
Zara's smile soon turned into shock
Zara Lane || FL
You can't be serious
Ethan Wolfe || ML
*smirk* Oh, but I am ❄️
Ethan Wolfe || ML
I always get what I want, Zara ❄️
Ethan Wolfe || ML
And right now, I want you ❄️
Ethan Wolfe || ML
It's up to you to decide ❄️
Ethan Wolfe || ML
What? ❄️
He said, his voice deep and hoarse with anger
Zara Lane || FL
I said, I won't marry you
Her voice cracking out of fear
Ethan Wolfe || ML
Zara Lane...
Saying so, he stood up from his chair and started moving towards Zara
Ethan Wolfe || ML
Just know one thing ❄️
He said as he leaned closer to her
Ethan Wolfe || ML
You're bound to sign this contract ❄️
Ethan Wolfe || ML
Your bakery is on the verge of bankruptcy and I'm offering you a way out ❄️
Zara Lane || FL
I want time to consider it
Ethan Wolfe || ML
Sure, you have 2 minutes ❄️
Zara Lane || FL
I'm serious
Ethan Wolfe || ML
I'm not joking either ❄️
Zara Lane || FL
Do you even know what marriage is? Is there no other way?
Ethan Wolfe || ML
I've had enough of it, Zara. Don't test my patience ❄️
His voice suddenly becoming deep and hoarse
He slammed the contract onto the table
Ethan Wolfe || ML
Just sign this contract already ❄️
Ethan Wolfe || ML
The wedding date is already fixed ❄️
Zara looks at the contract on the table and frowns
CHAPTER 2
Ethan Wolfe || ML
The wedding date is already fixed ❄️
Zara looks at the contract on the table and frowns
Zara Lane || FL
What's the need to arrange a wedding?
Ethan Wolfe || ML
You're going to marry the richest and powerful CEO of Country Z, and you want me not to arrange a wedding? ❄️
Zara Lane || FL
It's a contractual marriage anyways
Ethan Wolfe || ML
*smirk* We'll see
Zara Lane || FL
What do you mean?
Ethan Wolfe || ML
You have 10 seconds to sign this contract ❄️
She unwillingly signs the contract
Ethan Wolfe || ML
You made the right choice, Zara
Zara Lane || FL
You've changed..
Zara Lane || FL
You were not like this when we were child
Zara Lane || FL
Ever since you returned from abroad
Suddenly Ethan grabs her chin and his expression becoming cold
Ethan Wolfe || ML
Don't you dare bring up the past ❄️
Ethan Wolfe || ML
Or else, you'll face the consequences ❄️
Zara Lane || FL
*shakes off her head*
Zara Lane || FL
You cold devil!
Ethan Wolfe || ML
*smirk* The car will arrive tomorrow at your house at 7 pm, be ready
Ethan Wolfe || ML
You can leave now
Zara Lane || FL
*sitting with her chin in her hands*
Zara Lane || FL
Why is it so??
Zara Lane || FL
Why did I even agree to it??
Her mom knocks on the door
Emily Lane || FL's Mom
Zara?? I'm coming in
Emily Lane || FL's Mom
*enters and sits beside Zara*
Emily Lane || FL's Mom
What's the matter, dear?
Emily Lane || FL's Mom
Is it about the marriage??
Zara Lane || FL
Oh, no it's not like that
Emily Lane || FL's Mom
Zara, I'm really sorry
Emily Lane || FL's Mom
But now we have only that option left
Emily Lane || FL's Mom
I'm sorry to force you to marry Ethan
Zara Lane || FL
Mom, it's not your fault
Emily Lane || FL's Mom
*smile*
Zara Lane || FL
It's my choice
Zara Lane || FL
I also want to save the bakery, no matter the cost
Emily Lane || FL's Mom
I know Ethan and you were childhood friends, but now...
Zara Lane || FL
Mom... Please don't worry
Zara Lane || FL
*smiles* I promise you, everything will be alright
Emily Lane || FL's Mom
*smile*
Zara Lane || FL
But I don't want the wedding ceremony...
Zara Lane || FL
It's a contractual marriage anyways
Emily Lane || FL's Mom
It's okay, the Wolfe family is really powerful, and of course they want their son to have a grand wedding
Emily Lane || FL's Mom
Even though it's contractual
Emily Lane || FL's Mom
It's only for a year
Zara Lane || FL
But mom, why marriage?? Isn't there any other way?
Emily Lane || FL's Mom
Uh- I-I'll go and get you some water
Zara Lane || FL
But mom...
Emily Lane || FL's Mom
*leaves in a hurry*
