🖤TWISTED OBSESSIONS 🖤

Chapter-25

Layla sat at her desk in the dimly lit office, the soft glow of her computer screen casting a faint light on her thoughtful expression. Her fingers tapped lightly on the keyboard as she tried to focus on the spreadsheet before her, but her mind kept wandering back to the message she had received the previous night.

Now, his message had stirred up a whirlwind of emotions within her. Memories of their time together flooded her mind—moments of laughter, late-night conversations, and the undeniable chemistry between them. But those thoughts were quickly overshadowed by the fear of what Daniel had become, of the dangers he represented.

Lost in her thoughts, Layla didn't hear the approaching footsteps until there was a soft knock on her office door. Startled, she looked up to see Bella, her best friend , poking her head through the door.

-"Layla, are you alright?,"

Bella asked, concern etched on her face.

Layla forced a smile, attempting to brush off her unease.

"I'm okay,  Did you need something?"

Bella stepped into the office, closing the door behind her.

-"Actually, I wanted to ask if you're free for lunch. We could use a break from these spreadsheets,"

she said with a wink, trying to lighten the mood.

Layla hesitated, torn between wanting to confide in Bella and shielding her from the danger that now seemed to loom closer than ever. Before she could respond, there was another knock at the door, louder this time.

Her heart skipped a beat as she turned to see Daniel standing in the doorway, his presence filling the room with an intimidating aura. He was dressed impeccably in a dark suit, his piercing gaze fixed on Layla.

-"Layla,"

he said in a voice that sent shivers down her spine

-"We need to talk."

" But I don't!"
" Let's go Bella!"

She hold Bella's hand walking away from there... daniel grabbed layla's hand ...

Daniel's eyes flickered briefly to layla, his expression unreadable.

-"Stay,"!

he commanded, his tone brooking to argument.

Daniel closed the door behind him and approached Layla's desk, his every movement calculated and deliberate.

-"I know you got my message,"

" Yess ... So?"

Certainly! Here's a toned-down version of the scenario you described:

---

**Daniel**: *(leaning in close)* You know, Layla, we used to make a great team.

**Layla**: *(nervously)* Daniel, please... this isn't right.

**Daniel**: Oh, but it is. You and I, we've got something special. And now that we're partners in this company, we can't ignore that.

**Layla**: *(pulling away)* You kidnapped me, Daniel. You can't just expect me to fall back into this.

**Daniel**: *(grinning)* Maybe I did, but look at us now. We're both smart, successful... and we could be unstoppable together.

**Layla**: *(voice trembling)* I won't be part of your world, Daniel. I won't let you control me.

**Daniel**: *(serious, yet teasing)* You always did have a fire in you. I like that. But you know, Layla, resisting me might just make things more... interesting.
