Bound By Obsession
Prologue
The cold metal of the handcuffs bit into Ethan’s wrists as he regained consciousness. His head throbbed, his body heavy, his senses slow to adjust. The air smelled of leather, faint cologne, and something darker—something familiar.
Not a police station. Not a crime scene. Somewhere else. Somewhere private.
A deep chuckle echoed from the shadows.
“You’ve been chasing me for years,” a voice murmured, smooth as silk yet laced with something dangerous. “And now… you’re finally mine.”
Ethan’s breath hitched as a figure stepped into the dim light. Liam Grayson.
A name whispered in fear. A face no one had ever seen.
Ethan’s pulse pounded, a mix of fury and something he refused to name twisting in his chest. He pulled against the restraints, meeting Liam’s amused gaze with unyielding defiance.
Ethan Carter
*growled* Let me go
Liam Grayson
😏 *tilting his head* Oh, Ethan… you still don’t get it, do you?
He leaned in, his fingers trailing along the bruises he had left, his voice nothing more than a whisper.
Liam Grayson
“You were never meant to catch me.”
Liam Grayson
“You were meant to belong to me.”

Chapter 1
📍 Crime Scene - Downtown Alley
Ethan Carter
*kneeling near the body, examining the evidence*
Blunt force trauma… No sign of struggle. This wasn’t a robbery—it was planned.
Officer Miller
*standing nearby, taking notes*
That’s the third one this month. All the same pattern.
Ethan Carter
*sighs, standing up* We’re dealing with a serial killer, Miller. And we’re still two steps behind.
Ethan Carter
*Picks up*
Detective Carter, Speaking.
Captain Reynolds
*on call* Carter, drop that case. You’ve been reassigned.
Ethan Carter
*Frowns* What? This case is—
Captain Reynolds
*Firmly* This comes from above. You’re needed elsewhere.
📍 Police Headquarters - Captain’s Office
Ethan Carter
*Crosses arms* Alright, what’s so important that I had to drop an ongoing serial case?
Captain Reynolds
*Slides a file across the desk* Liam Grayson. You’re going to arrest him.
Ethan Carter
*flips through the file, eyebrows furrowing* Kidnapper, extortionist, possible murderer. Dangerous as hell. Why now?
Captain Reynolds
*Leans forward* Because he’s getting bolder. The higher-ups want him off the streets—fast.
Ethan Carter
*Smirks* Sounds like a challenge. Where do I start?
📍 Somewhere in the city – A dark room
Liam Grayson
*smirks, watching Ethan’s photo on a screen* Oh, Detective Carter… I’ve been waiting for you.
