Hidden Obsessions
MEL – “I won’t be your sex toy”. It was all about the money and revenge. I will stay for the contract, deal with my step brother and disappear forever. So, I can’t possibly be falling in love with him, right? I mean, he is the mafia for goodness’s sake, a sexy one, but still. Then again, I never expected to need his protection from the past I can’t even remember.
RIO – I wrap her hands along her lovely neck. “You are mine and don’t you ever forget that.” She was a permanent picture in my head and I craved her badly. So when her dumb brother offers her on a platter to me, I will do anything to make sure she stays and gives herself to me willingly for my pleasure. Now, I think I’m falling for her, which really sucks, as she turns out to be a key to the mystery that haunts me.

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHTEEN RIO POVI had gone to the bakery with the intention of picking up Mel, but when I walked in and saw her strutting into the bathroom, I just had to follow.Almost a month without touching her was hell. “What do you mean play the part?” Mel asks as I hand her into the passenger seat of the car. “Aren’t I already playing it? By myself by the way.”I get into the car. “What are you talking about?”“I had to introduce myself to your father when you didn’t even tell him about me.”“Yeah, that. I forgot. Dante told me you really played it up well. Maybe a little too well.”“Also, you didn’t say you told Dante about us, making me look stupid when I tried to convince him that you loved me and you won’t be sharing me with him.”“Share you?” I turn to her. “What are you yapping about?”“I heard a rumor that…”. She doesn’t finish her statement but I already know what it was.“You heard that already?” I ask and she looks down at her hands, as if shy. “Would you like to do that, Darling Mel?” The

Chapter: CHAPTER SEVENTEENMEL POV The news of Rio Rafe’s engagement was huge in Tuscany. My name was splattered on different tabloids and gossip blogs. The magazine I was reading now had a headline saying; ‘Billionaire playboy ties the knot with mystery woman’. “Just great.” I say as I glance through the article. “They didn’t even write anything good about me. Just my name, but they go on and on about Rio.” I didn’t really care. The less people know about me, the better. But I have to keep up this show for Mama Agness. I mean, no bride will be happy if her fiancé outshines her on their wedding news, right?“You should be glad they aren’t saying anything bad either. Also, the Rafes are yet to put out an official statement.” Mama Agness takes the magazine from me. “Don’t let that bother you. We have a lot to check out today.”We were sitting in a fancy bakery that Mama Agness swears makes the best cakes, so we can pick out a wedding cake.This whole thing might be fake, but I am going to get the most fun from

Chapter: CHAPTER SIXTEENMEL POV“Shut your mouth.” Dante hushes me. “You are going to get us killed, and that would just piss me off.”“What is going on?”“I said shut it.” He repeats. “I should be asking you what you’re doing here. I have a situation on my hands and I sure wasn’t expecting you to be here. This was supposed to be a quick hit.”If I wasn’t scared of Dante before, I was now. “Hit?”“Yeah.” He answers. “Stay there and don’t say a word. Unless you want to die.” I swallow in fear and nod.“Answer me. I can’t see you, remember?”“Well, you said to not say a word.”“Just forget it. Stay there.” He gets up and walks to the end of the stall area’s wall. He peeps into the corridor, looking both ways, and then runs back to our stall. “Okay, this is the deal. I don’t think they saw you. So, I will leave you here and I want you to stay quiet. Cover yourself with hay, if you have to. Don’t come out until you hear my voice.”“You can’t leave me please.” I was going to piss myself from the fear.“I can’t st

Chapter: CHAPTER FIFTEENMEL POV“Haven’t I been good to you? I have fed you and put a roof over your head from a tender age yet, this is how you treat me?” Mrs. Park, my adopted mother, calmly scolds me, through the phoneShe has never raised her voice, not at me nor at her husband who is never around anyway, and definitely not at her precious son, Jack.But she always had a way of making me feel useless and ungrateful.“I’m sorry.” I murmur, looking over my back to see if anyone was nearby. Nick had left to go put the flowers in a vase, so I was alone in the garden, which I was grateful for.I didn’t want anybody present to witness the disaster I know this call is going to be. “Don’t you think you have rebelled enough?” She continues. “First you move out, then I find out you worked in a bar. And now this, have you gone insane?”“How did you know about my job?” I had never told her I got a job at the bar, not that I didn’t want her to know, but because I knew she wouldn’t approve of it.“You think you could

Chapter: CHAPTER FOURTEENMEL POV The next two weeks breezed by really quickly and I had mapped a sort of daily routine that centered on sleeping, taking walks and eating. It was like I was in a continuous cycle of the same days over and over again.Reign has been in and out of the house many times, still as kind as always. Mama Agness was literally a dream come true for any human wishing for a mother figure. I mean, she bakes me fresh cookies every morning.Dante was in ghost mode. I have not seen him since our little fourth floor moment together.As for Rio Rafe, the man had the audacity to call me the next day after he had left – not with an apology- but to know if I have missed his hands on my body. The nerve. I feel goosebumps on my skin as I recall how my body had reacted to his really really good attempt at phone sex.I never knew I could feel that way down there. I have never gone past second base with any of the three boyfriends I had while growing up.Then again, they were never Rio. I couldn’t c

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTEEN MEL POV After breakfast, Reign proposed a quick tour of the mansion, but then received a business call so, he had to leave early.“I promise I will be around more.” He pledges. “Now that there is a pretty face for me to come back to.” He winks at me.“Once a flirt, always a flirt. And you wonder where Rio gets it from.” Mama Agness says.“There is nothing wrong with admiring the work of God.” Getting up from his seat, he places a light kiss on my hand. “Until next time my dear. For now, Welcome to the family.”I get goosebumps when I recall Dante had mouthed the same words. Shaking off the weird feeling, I smile and nod at Reign. “Thank you.”“Dante, walk me out.” He puts back on his glasses and hat. “Ciao, familia.” He bids I and Mama Agness goodbye and heads out, with Dante behind him.“He is a good man.” Mama Agness says, finishing up the rest of her breakfast.“He looks so much like Rio.” I shake my head. “That’s why I had yelled at him when I walked in.”“He knows it was a

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHTEEN “Prayers to the moon goddess.” Mariam who had been watching from afar rushed to Chanda’s side. “What has that monster done to you?” Mariam looked horrified. “Please Luna, get up. Everyone is looking at you.”The little crowd had increased as more people came around to look at the disgraced Luna. Chanda could hear the murmurs coming from them, but she didn’t really care right now.What had happened in that room? Chanda wondered as she lay on the sand, supported by Mariam hands, almost naked with her torn dress. Her mind had not really registered on the fact that Velkan just sent her to live as a servant, because she was still stuck on what had happened between them.She remembered she had felt when he had touched her, sucked her. She had never that way before, it had been as if her body had floating away. But the strangest part was that she had wanted it. She didn’t know what it was but she had wanted Velkan to do whatever he wanted to her, in that moment.Before he had gone crazy.He

Chapter: CHAPTER SEVENTEEN"Velkan, you should sit please.” Chanda stuttered, trying to appease to him. “You must be in pain.”“Shut it!” Velkan snapped. “Just shut it.” He moved closer. “You think you are smart?”“What is wrong?” Chanda moved a step back.“Think you can fool me?” He reached out and grabbed her neck, lifting her an inch above the ground.Chanda held on to his wrapped hands on her neck. “Please Velkan. I… I… I can’t … can’t breathe.”Velkan stared into her bulging eyes for a moment before letting go. Chanda’s dress got caught on the top of a candle stand on the floor and ripped into two parts up to her waist, exposing her legs as she fell to the ground.Rex, his wolf purred wistfully and it annoyed Velkan. It was as if he only came alive at the sight if the one, he claimed to be their mate.“You left your chambers without permission.” He ignored the purring wolf.“I had to leave to help you.” Chanda said slowly. “You were in pain.”“Lies. Lies.” Velkan erupted in anger. More lies from her. “You

Chapter: CHAPTER SIXTEENIt hurts. Every part of his body hurts. Velkan moaned in pain, as he struggled to lift his heavy body up, so he could sit against the board of the bed. His vision was blurry and his throat was dry and burning. He tried to pry his eye lids open, so he can look around where he laid. What happened?He ran his hand down the left side of his body which was covered, poorly, in bandage and the smell of burning leaves filled the air, choking him. He glanced to his right side and saw a female figure, sleeping on a chair at the far end of the room.“Urgh.” He groaned as he stretched his heavy arm over to his bedside table and knocked a teapot to the ground to get the female’s attention.The woman sprang up immediately. “Lycan, you are awake.” She exclaimed and rushed to him. “You are not supposed to sit up. Your wound is still fresh.”“Who are you?” He croaked out. “Where am I?”“You are in your chambers, My Lycan.” The woman took out a warm cloth that had been soaking in a bowl filled with

Chapter: CHAPTER FIFTEEN“Nothing like a good night out in the Goda village to lift your spirits.” Mariam skipped happily while Boris lead them up the road leading to the pack house.“Looks like we might have stayed out too long.” Boris said, looking up to the dull sky. “It’s almost daylight.” “The back gate will be unlocked by now. We could sneak in through there.” Mariam shrugged. “No one will see us there.”“I still don’t understand why the Lycan doesn’t put guards at the back of the estate during late and early times of the day. What if our enemies enter the house from there?” Boris asked.“They couldn’t. He has guards protecting the house itself. No one could pass the wolves guarding the back entrance to the house on the inside.” Mariam explained. “Unless, they are like us and know their way around, uh? She winked at him.“That true...” A grin tugged on his lips, but he frowned immediately, scratching his head. “Why do we need to sneak in though? We are allowed to go out.”Mariam smacked him on the bac

Chapter: CHAPTER FOURTEEN“Are you sure we won’t get caught?” Chanda tiptoed down the stairs with Mariam leading the way.“If you are quiet, we won’t.” Mariam answered. “My Luna.” she added when Chanda made a disapproving noise at her back.“I can’t believe I let you talk me into this.”“We are almost there.”“Where? It’s really dark. Can’t we light a torch or … what? what? why did you stop?” Chanda said in hushed tones when Mariam halted suddenly at the entrance to the living room.“I thought I heard something.”“We should go back. I don’t need more troubles.”“Live a little, My Luna.” Mariam peeped around the corner, before dragging Chanda across the room to open the front door. “We are free.” She ran round to the back of the house, laughing and shouting.“Why are you screaming? I thought you said to be quiet.” Chanda ran after her.“Keep up, Luna.” Mariam stopped at the back gate of the pack house. “You have got little legs.”“I do not. You are just fast.” Chanda bent to her knees and tried to catch her bre

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTEENChanda placed her hands on her chest as she gazed out from her window in her chamber, admiring the fields and mountains surrounding the Goda pack. It felt just like old times to her, when she would sometimes be tied up and locked in a small dirty room as a form of punishment, for a certain number of days. But now, the room was bigger, cleaner and she was even being tended too. Just that this time around, the punishment seemed to be never ending. Velkan had kept her locked up for about two months.“He is just so hard headed and arrogant.” Leia said with disgust. “Dumb too.”A smile tugged at Chanda’s lips as she turned to Leia. “Thank you.”“For what? It was my son who put you in this room like you were some prisoner and not his Luna.”“For being here with me.”For the whole time that she had been banned from the outside world, Leia had always kept her company, daily. With the occasional visits from Mariam of course, who always had something colorful to say about Velkan.“Oh child.”
