The Economy of Obssession
The Economy of Obssession
"I'll burn the world just to keep you looking my way."
Atticus had always been the quiet one, the boy who watched from the sidelines. From school days to graduation, he couldn't take his eyes off Maeve, the way she laughed with Alex, the way her presence seemed to light up every room.
He collected her pictures in secret, held onto them like pieces of something he could never truly have. Every day he hoped she would notice him, even just once, but she never did. The jealousy and longing inside him only grew stronger with time.
After graduation, Atticus poured himself into building a life of power and success. He became a CEO, respected and feared, a man who got what he wanted and he wanted Maeve.
One night, he arrived at the mansion of Charles, Maeve's father, carrying all the weight of his obsession. With quiet but undeniable threat, he told Charles that if he didn't give Maeve to him, he would destroy everything, the family, the business, even Maeve herself.
Faced with a man who had grown too powerful to resist, Charles made the decision he never thought he would. Maeve was handed over to Atticus, the boy who had once only watched her from afar.
A story about longing, obsession, and the dangerous line between love and possession. A quiet obsession that turned into power, and a man who would stop at nothing to have the one thing he always wanted.
