Hidden Obsessions CHAPTER EIGHT
MEL POVThe walls of the mansion seemed to go on forever and our footsteps echoed as Mama Agness led me down the passage. She was going on about the history of the estate but my mind was stuck on thoughts of the man I had just met.Dante. The mysterious Capo of the Rafe Familia. I had thought Rio was beautiful, I mean, he is, but there is something dangerously wonderful about his brother. I have never met a man on the first day and instinctively thought of what his hands can do to a woman’s body.F***, I couldn’t possibly be attracted to Dante. Am I? I wondered. No, I’m not, I can’t be. This is all Rio’s fault, I decided. Since our little car adventure, my hormones have been off the charts. Yes, I blame him. I turn my attention to the walls as we walk. Beautiful artworks and family portraits line them. A picture of a younger looking Rio draped in a full army uniform catch my eye. “Rio was in the army?”“What?” Mama Agness asked, stunned. She turned to the direction I was pointing. “O

RIO POV Jack bursts through the front doors, yelling. “Where is my sister? Where did you take her, you asshole?”Dante raises an eyebrow in question at me. “Seems it’s not a happy family reunion.” He says.I strut towards Jack and looked him dead in his eyes. “Watch your words in my house or I will cut your tongue and feed it to you.” I whisper to his hearing only.Jack cowers in response as I expect and lowers his eyes to the ground. “I just came for my sister.” he says, calmly now. I settle on the arm of Dante’s chair. “Leave us.” I instruct the men who had tried to hold Jack back.They leave and the sound of the doors closing echoes in the room as I stare down at Jack. He stands, not daring to look in I and Dante’s direction. The surge of rage he had was gone, leaving behind a spineless man wondering if he made the right decision coming here.“Why do you think I have your sister?”“I... I... I can’t reach her, so I tracked her phone’s location here. Give her to me and I will be o

MEL POVI don’t stop running till I get to my room. Shutting the door and dragging myself to the floor, I try to calm down, refusing to cry over that evil bastard.This is all his fault. He deserved it. The sound of the gun rings in my head repeatedly. I have never seen someone get shot before. God, what if they leave him there to bleed to death?I get up and look outside the window. The compound is completely empty and quiet, as if nothing happened.My heart sank.Jack is dead. He has to be and they have gone to dispose of his body.“Oh my God.” I stumble away from the window.Is this my life now? Guns and killings? What have I gotten myself into? I shriek when a knock on the door startles me.Rio walks into the room, still holding the gun in his hand, breathing heavily.Now, I’m going to die too.“Please don’t.” I beg, shaking in fear. “I would not say anything about what I saw. Please don’t kill me.”Rio stares with a puzzled look, “Kill you?” He moves closer. “Please don’t. I wi

Mel POV“Good morning to you.” Mama Agness greets me as I walk into the living room the next morning. “Did you sleep well?”If you would classify being horny all night as sleeping well, then I sure did. I nod in response and settle into the sofa next to her.“I was going to come see how you were doing after yesterday’s drama, but I saw Rio coming out of your room and he assured me you were fine and sleeping.”“Hmm.” I mumble. I was really hoping to see Rio this morning because we still need to talk about how we were to play the “marriage act”.“I know it’s not a life you are used to,” Mama Agness continues, “but guns and bloodshed are quite the norm in the mafia life. Even though I do try my best to make sure they keep most of it away from the house.” She holds my hand, turning my attention back to her. “You wouldn’t have to worry about anything.”Feeling my heart flutter with joy at her kind words, I cover her hands with mine. “I’m fine, really.” She raises an eyebrow in doubt. “Ok

MEL POV“Good morning, Don.” Nick rushes to Reign’s side. “I didn’t know you were back.”“Morning, my boy.” Reign pats him on the back and turns back to me. “I’m very sure you had the ability to talk a few seconds ago.” He says with a laugh in his voice, waving his hand in my face.“Oh, sorry.” I did not realize I had been staring so hard at him. It feels like I am looking at an older version of Rio. “I didn’t mean to yell.”“No problem, Miss.” He turns to Nick. “Go tell your Nonna that I’m back.” Nick literally skips out the room, leaving me alone with Reign.“Who are you?” His voice echoes in the room.Shit. Rio hasn’t told his father about me and I have no idea how much I am supposed to tell him about I and Rio’s arrangement.I nervously extend a hand to him. “Good morning, Sir. My name is Mel Park.”“Park? Hmm, doesn’t ring a bell. And I take it you will be joining us for breakfast, right?” He walks past me to the dining table and pulls out a chair. “Please seat.”Second time m

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

MEL 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

MEL 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

RIO POVSecurity footage?There isn’t supposed to be a security footage. I had made certain of that.After concluding my meeting with Signor Temples, I had met up with some associates who would handle the planting of the drugs, and altering of the cameras to avoid any evidence or anyway of linking this back to me or anyone at all.“We all know that the security cameras in the loading docks were going to be altered,” Signor Andre says. “But our culprit forgot a little detail. The light house just across the dock. I was able to get this footage from them.”Shit. The damn light house. How could I have missed that?“Nice work, Mr. Andre.” I say, trying to conceal my annoyance. “I work hard for my money.” He answers. “It’s only natural I protect where it goes.” He presses play on the remote and the screen goes dark. In the next second, a man walks into the frame and heads to the already locked container, carrying a small bag with him. He unlocks the container, breaks the seal on the boxe

RIO POVI pull into the company’s parking lot, and I am greeted by my father’s secretary who immediately appeared at my door.“Good morning Mr. Rio. I am sorry to disturb you, this early.” She says. “I called your father but he said he wasn’t coming in today.”“That’s all right, Andrea. I was already on my way here.” We walk through the entrance together. “So, the French police are here already?”“Yes, sir.” She answers. “Mr. Temple is here too. He refused to speak to any of the board members, so I cajoled him into agreeing to meet with you instead of your father. I should warn you that he is now insisting on the arrest of Mr. Jim.”“Is he?” I ask, smiling. I had earlier informed Signor Temple to come to the company very early this morning and cause a huge scene over his goods. Sensing the tension in Andrea, he might have taken the order a little too serious.“Where is Mr. Temples now?” We get in the elevator.“In your office.” She winces as if she expected me to complain.“That’s fi

MEL POV“Mel!” Mama Agness walks into the room. Nick and I stand up to greet her. “And you, young man, back in your bed.” She turns to me and immediately envelops me in a warm hug. “Oh, my darling. You look so tired. I was thinking of you all night.”“Nonna.” I hug her tight, holding onto the comfort she gives me, as I feel the tension leaving my body. “I missed you, Nonna.” I breathe in her scent.“Have you eaten? Those monsters didn’t feed you right?” She pulls back, turns me around to check my body.“I’m fine Nonna.” I laugh. “How are you? How did you sleep?”“Good enough for a hospital. Drop that phone, young man.” She scolds Nick. “You spend too much time on your screen and it has affected your eye. That’s why you couldn’t see the bullet coming your way.”“Nonna! That’s not fair.” Nick pouts. “Besides, you know I don’t like looking at the TV. If I was back in the estate, at least I will busy in the garden or working in the stables.”“Oh, don’t you even think about it.” She pulls

MEL POV“Nia.” Nick calls out happily. “You came to see me.”“Nicky boy.” Nia walks to the bed, but turns the opposite side, facing me.I haven’t seen her since the first time we met in the garden, that I even began to think she had been a fidget of my imagination.“Heard you got your first gunshot wound.” She said and Nick nodded like a child, lifting his shirt to show her his wound. “Told you were a little pussy. That little thing landed you in the hospital? Couldn’t you just walk it off?”“It was Nonna’s idea.” Nick’s face drops into a sulk. “I am actually fine.”“Well, you wouldn’t be injured, if not for little Mrs. Rafe over here?” She glares at me.I feel irritated at her tone, but she was right. Nick is in here because of me.“She didn’t do anything.” Nick speaks up in my defense when I remain silent.“Yes, expect show up where she isn’t wanted.” Nia accuses me. “And now you are nursing a bullet wound meant for her. Or am I wrong about the death threat hanging on your head, M
Hidden Obsessions CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE
MEL POV“I didn’t realize how much I would miss Nonna’s nagging in the morning.” Dante whines. “I have gotten so used to her voice that this feels different, doesn’t it, Mel?”“Huh?” I murmur, startled by the fact that he called my name, instead of something annoying.“It’s weird not having Nonna for breakfast, right?”“Yes, it is.” I say shyly and shift in my seat.He was right, but Nonna being away isn’t the only weird thing about this morning.Mr. Reign has been sending me little sorrow filled glances since I joined them for breakfast, and Dante has been acting… nice.As for Rio, he is missing in action as usual. I haven’t seen him since I woke up. At least one thing was normal.“The hospital called earlier.” Reign announces, not looking up from his plate. “Nick is doing fine. He is even wanting to come home today. But Agness insists he stays a day more.”“He must be pissed.” I grin, imagining how frustrated Nick must be feeling now. “Maybe I could drop by and see them. I even pic

RIO POVI watch as Mel runs to the elevator as if being chased by something or someone, and I can’t help but feel like she knows a lot more than she is letting off.“My precious.” Dante mimics the endearment on the letter. “Sounds so cliche and just… wrong.”I turn my attention to him. “Why?”“I would have assumed this was the work was one of your many jilted and heartbroken ladies, but that my precious is throwing me off that idea.”“Heartbroken ladies?” I repeat.“Cmon. We all saw the way that pretty doctor behaved when she noticed Mel was your wife. Bitch wanted to pluck her eyes out.”“Ignore him.” Father says, with his expression bleak. “What are we going to do about this, Rio?”“Nothing.” The word echoes in the room as they both stay still, staring at me.“No-nothing! You are going to do nothing!” Father yells. “Your wife was just threatened and you are going to do nothing?”“I’m going with Dante on this, Father.” I respond calmly. “I’m sure this was just a silly prank meant to

MEL POVThe gasp of shock from Mama Agness scares me more than Dante’s words.“Me?” I look up from Nick’s shivering body to Dante’s smiling face. “It’s meant for me?”“So, it says.” Dante answers. “Let me just say this, welcome to the Mafia life.” He winks at me.“Don’t be ridiculous.” Rio snatches the paper from him, a frown creasing his forehead as he reads through its contents. “Well, I’ll be damned.” He murmurs.“Rio…” I whisper, but he doesn’t look at me.“Is someone going to read what it says out?” Reign asks.Rio hands him the open letter and slumps on a nearby sofa.“‘It wasn’t meant to be like this.’” Reign reads aloud. “‘You should have stayed away.’” He looks up from the paper. “This does not necessary mean it’s for her. It could be for anyone.”“You really should consider getting those glasses, Dad.” Dante baits him, taking a seat next to Rio.“Is this the time for jokes, Dante?” Mama Agness scolds him.“He clearly can’t see without it.” He returns.“Read the bottom left,

RIO POVThe joy I feel from my little victory at the company today is nothing compared to how I feel now.Mel curled up in my hands. Soft. Warm. Naked.I lay her on the bed, and she immediately spreads her legs.“Relax, darling Mel.” I murmur as my eyes devour the sight of her body. “We have all the time in the world.”I take of the rest of my clothes. Mel gasps when she sees my erection through my tight briefs and I decide to leave it on for now.If not, all this would be over before it even starts and I intend to take my time with her.I climb on the bed behind her and pull her against me, groaning when her butt rubs against my cock and settles firmly on itI place a kiss on her neck and she bends, giving me more access to explore. I smile, biting down on her as she squirms, her lovely breast jiggling.My cock twitches in response.I use one hand to trail slowly down her side. “Darling Mel.”“Hmm.” She moans, eyes closed.“Show me where you want my hands.” I bit on her ear and drop

MEL POV“Wake up, senorita. We are home.” Nick shakes me awake as we drive through the estate gate. We had gone on more errands that took up the whole day, so I was sleeping when we finally got back at night time.“I’m sure all you need is one of Nonna’s soups.” He says, while putting the car in park. I get down from the truck, without answering.What I need is for Jack to drop dead. Nick gets down too, but turns around to stop me before I go in the house.“I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy the trip, Miss Mel. Please forgive me. Nonna would be so angry if she finds out I made you mad.” He pleads. I look up at him and feel bad when I see his teary eyes.There you go again, Jack. Making me the monster.I take his hands in mine. “It wasn’t your fault, Nick dear. I just met someone that pissed me off.”“Who was it? I could have scared him off.”I laugh at the thought. Nick is anything but scary. “I’m sure you would have. And don’t worry I won’t tell Mama Agness about anything, okay?” He shakes
