Hidden Obsessions CHAPTER THIRTY- FIVE
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

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

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 POV.“The order came from the Anteri Cartel.” Antonio finally says.“What?” Andre shots to his feet instantly.“Anteri, you say? The same Anteri drug lords from France?” Blanc asks.“Yes, sir. It’s the same ones.” Antonio nods in response.The Anteri Cartel is a mafia group from France known mainly for being notorious hard drug pushers. Recently their Don was acquainted for a drug deal gone wrong and I have never had personal deals with them.So, why did Antonio pin this on them? What game is he playing here?“That is a lie.” Andre angrily points at Antonio. “You! You are a freaking liar. Liar!”“I’m not lying, sir.” Antonio insists and brings out a white envelope from his pocket. He hands it over to Detective Blanc. “This was left in my mail at home, after I agreed to do the job. It had the upfront payment of ten thousand Euros and a letter warning me to do a good job.”“This is the French group’s seal.” Leroy says, while examining the letter. “I have seen it enough times to kno

RIO POV“Sir.”I look up from my computer to see my secretary standing ay my door. “Yes?”“I’m leaving for the day.”“What?” I glance at the wall clock beside me. It is already 6;25 pm. I had not realized the time had gone way past the closing hour of 4pm. “Do you usually stay this long?”“No, sir. I had to finish up some stuff ahead of Monday. It’s the weekend tomorrow.”“Oh, right. Well then, goodnight.”“Good night, sir. See you on Monday.”It’s been a while since I have stayed this long at the company and its best, I get used to it as it will become my reality once I am named CEO. I finish up on my system, pull my table drawer open to store some files when I notice the file I had taken from my mother’s old office a few days ago.I have completely forgotten about it.I scan through the details of the first page. There are serial numbers about a shipment contract between Shamz holding and our company. The contents of the shipment are marked as undisclosed but tagged as delicate. The

RIO POV Signor Andre is the last person I expected to see tonight, but I should have guessed it when Nonna was going on about a family dinner. Father, Mel and Nick were also sitting at the table.“Dante, Rio. Glad you are home already.” Father welcomes us. “We have been waiting for you. Please Join us.”“Don’t mind if I do.” Dante struts to take his seat. “What are we having? Hey Nick, feeling better?”“Yes, Master Dante. Thank you.” Nick answers.I take my seat beside Mel who was sitting directly opposite Andre. I don’t know if that was planned or fate, but I intend to ignore him the whole night.“Hello darling. Miss me?”“Yes.” She looks up at me with a shy expression on her face“Good.”“Isn’t this wonderful?” Nonna sits next to Nick. “Everyone is here, sitting together like a family.”“Speaking of family, this is our official first meeting, Miss Mel.” Andre beams at Mel. “I would like to welcome you to our family. How have you been enjoying your time as a Rafe?”The sound of his

MEL POVHis touch.His lips.God, his tongue.Those are the only thoughts swimming in my head as I lose myself in his kiss. I have missed this, this insane want I feel, this want that makes me forget everything, even the threat hanging on my head.“Rio.” I moan as he cups my ass and lifts me up. I wrap my legs around his waist as he presses me against the wall.“Darling Mel.” He pulls his lips from mine and stares into my eyes, while opening the buttons on my shirt. One by one.I feel completely captivated by the look in his eyes. I really think I can live the rest of my life, just staring into his blue eyes.He bends his head and bites on my left nipple through the lace of my bra.“Ah!” My body jerks in response as he suckles on it immediately and uses his free hand to toy with the other. I grab his head and pull him up for another kiss.“Mel. I need your taste in my mouth.” He groans and puts me on my feet. He goes down on his knees, drags my trouser down to my ankles and pulls the

MEL POVI part my lips and take the tip of his cock into my mouth, sucking and licking while cupping his balls.“Yes.” He moans softlyI part my lips wider as I free his balls, wrap my hand around the base of the cock and take him, inch by inch inside my mouth.“More, Darling. More.” Rio runs his hands through my hair and grips my head, pushing slowly between my lips. “Yes, Mel. Take all of me.”My jaw stretches as I open wider to accept more of him, as he thrust gently, almost reaching to my throat.“You feel so good, darling.” He moans as I work on him, bobbing my head up down, slowly and then faster. “Yes, yes baby. Fuck me.”I moan I feel his cock get harder in my mouth. He is gonna come.Inside in my mouth.My stomach tightens in excitement as I move faster, encouraging to cum when he thrust harder, hitting my throat. I wanna gag at the sudden intrusion, but I long to feel his cum in me. I cup his balls again, hoping to help him.“Mel.” He groans and pulls out of my mouth, leavin

Hidden Obsessions CHAPTER FIFTY- FIVE
Mel POV“The smell of the blooming flowers in the spring is the perfect remedy for any aching nerves.” Nick grins, bringing a red flower to his nose.After a morning of Rio and his father arguing about me, Nick had suggested we spend the afternoon picking flowers to calm me down, since he was still on bed rest and couldn’t do much yet.“You can say that again.” I settle on the pavement along the wall. “It always hits the spot.” “I have missed this beautiful garden.” He sits next to me.“I have missed working in this beautiful garden with you, Nicky.” I give him my best smile. His face turns red as he tries to hide his embarrassment.“I have missed you too, Senorita.” He manages to murmur. I nod in response, happy with his reaction.Why can’t all men, Rio- fucking- Rafe in particular, be like my sweet Nick? I wonder. Why didn’t I fall for a nice, sensitive and charming man, instead of a freaking mad man?Fall? My body stiffens. How in the hell did I conclude I was in love with Rio?
Hidden Obsessions CHAPTER FIFTY-FOUR
JACK POV“Get off me!” I yell at the bouncer as he drags me out of the club through the back door and pushes me to the floor. “Come on, Pavor. It’s good old Jack.” I try to appeal to the club owner who followed us out.“Go back to whatever hell you crawled out from and don’t come back.” Pavor warns, shutting the door in my face.“F*** you!” I curse. This is the third club I am getting kicked out from this night alone.What wrong with wanting a little boost for the night? After the shitty day I had, spending most of it in the station, a drink was the least I deserve.I just have the little problem of being broke, so I decided to hover around the local spots, hoping for some freebies, but it seems I have garnered some sort of bad reputation of being a debtor.“Shit.” I push my body up against the wall, holding my aching head in my hand. I really should go home, get some rest and maybe some food. My stomach growls in response to the image of a hot plate of my mum’s pasta forming in my h
Hidden Obsessions CHAPTER FIFTY-THREE
RIO POVI stood by the corner of the container, watching as Dante and Pascal hurdle over the computer, whispering about the information that they had managed to get out Rafeal, while his dead body was lying still, on the floor right next to them.“This will just be a minute more.” Dante calls to me.“Take your time.” I push off the wall and walk around the space. “Do you mind me asking how you purchased this container? Was it a gift or…”“My family runs a shipping business.” Dante“Of course, smart ass.” I shoot him a glare. “I just remembered a little detail. There is a serial number on this container, right? It should start with RF since the container belongs to the company.”“I don’t know.” Dante answers.“I do, sir.” Pascal says. “And it does. At the right end corner, outside.”“Exactly.” I clap in excitement. “Dante, the container in the woods had a serial number staring from IT. I remember seeing it on the contract and even in the pictures.”“And your point here is?” Dante stand

MEL POV“So, what do we do now?” Angie asks as I drove her back to the Dancing Stars for her afternoon shift.“What?”“My shift doesn’t start till in the next hour.”“So…, I shouldn’t take you there now?”“No. Keep going.” She answers. “Just that I will be bored for that hour.”“I’m sure Steve will be glad if you decided to put in that extra hour.” I laugh. “How about you come inside for a little, huh? Say hi to the gang. Maybe flaunt that car key in Steve’s face, make him jealous.” She wiggles her brow. “Also, I’m certain Marty will be glad to whip something up for you. You barely touched your toast at the café, except when you were torturing it, of course.”“Marty still works there?” I ask in shock. Marty is the chef at the bar, but between him and Steve, it was hard to tell who was the boss and who was the employee. “I thought Steve would have given him the boot by now.”“Steve will need to summon up the balls to do that first.” Angie snorts as I park in front of the bar. “Besides

RIO POV“Where exactly are we headed?” I pull down my window as Dante goes off the highway, we have been on for the past two hours and takes a turn into a small, dirty, one-lane road. “Are we going out of city?”“Not exactly.” He answers, with his eyes glued to the road.“I haven’t been in this part of the city in a while.” I say, looking around the slums and make-shift homes lined up on both sides of the road. “People actually live here?” I ask, marveling at the state of the environs.“Not everybody was born with a silver spoon like you brother.” Dante glances at my face. “What with the look of your face? Feel like helping the poor, already?” He laughs. “You were always too soft, brother. Most of the people here are drug addicts running from their debtors.”“Having a conscience isn’t being soft.” I shift on my seat. “Not everybody can be crazy like you.”“I am pretty sure your wife would disagree.” He jests.“F*** off.” I lean out the window when I feel a cold breeze on my face. “Are

MEL POV“Changed?” Angie echoes my words. “Like you don’t dream of that night anymore?”“I still do… sometimes.”“And other times?” She urges me to speak.“I have been dreaming of my childhood, I think.”“You think?” She raises her brow.“Yes, Angie.” I reply. “To be sincere, I don’t really know. I haven’t been able to understand what it is.”“But you think it’s about your childhood?” She asks.I nod in response.“And what normally happens in these nightmares? What do you see?”“Myself, but so much younger. I look just like the little girl in the pictures, Mrs. Park showed me when I asked her about when I was little.”“Interesting.” Angie rubs on her chin. “And what?”“I can’t remember, Angie.”“Let’s try this.” She leans into the table. “Close your eyes. Just do it.” She insists when I frown at her.“You are being silly.” I reply, but still oblige her.“Breathe in. Breathe out. Good. Now just relax.” She takes my hands. “Nice. Now try to picture the image in your head.”“Really, Angi
Hidden Obsessions CHAPTER FOURTY-NINE
MEL POVIt smells just like him.Maybe taking Rio’s car wasn’t such a good idea, I realize. I was already having a hard time dealing with flashbacks of our night together, I really didn’t need to breathing in his scent. It is just annoying and very, very distracting.“Arggh!” I blast the horn of the car loudly, taking out my frustration on a black car that suddenly swerves in front of me to enter the next lane, right before we approach a red light stop. “Can’t you f**king see?” I roll down my window to yell at the driver. He, it looks like a man from my end, does not even glance my way, but stays put, even after the light turns green.“Now, you don’t want to go.” I shout. Still no response. “Asshole!” I roll up my window and continue driving.Few minutes later, from my left side mirror, I notice the same car again. This time, he is driving closely behind me, even though the other lanes were practically empty.Is he following me? He couldn’t.Panicking, I increase my driving speed and
Hidden Obsessions CHAPTER FOURTY-EIGHT
RIO POV“I thought you don’t let anyone into this room.” I mention when Dante leads me into his dark office. “Or have you finally gotten over your weird kink of not letting people touch your things?”Growing up, Dante had this weird possessiveness over his stuff, that he never let anyone, not even our mother nor Nonna, into his room, to the extent that he cleaned the room by himself. I strongly believed that he had killed people in there, since it was the only soundproof room in the house.“This is not my room.” He turns on the lights and turns on his desk’s computer.“I have never been in here either.” I mutter, looking through the stacks of CDs on a wall shelf.“Mel has.” He says casually, while pressing some keys on the computer.“What?” I glare at him. “You brought her in here?”“More like she fell in.” He murmurs. “Your wife is pretty nosy.”Not willingly to play his games again, I decide to ignore his words. “What did you want to tell me?”“That you were wrong. I didn’t spend al

RIO POV She is staying.I don’t usually take bath, but the heat of the water soaking into my skin was definitely what I needed this morning.She is staying.I can’t figure understand why the fact that Mel chose to stay makes me… happy. Afterall, I have gotten what I craved.To have her in my bed. Then why do I feel this immense pleasure at her decision to stay, even after what happened this morning?I couldn’t actually… care for her. No, that is not possible. The sex was good, great in fact, more than what I imagined. So, it’s only natural I would want to her close by, with the hopes of it happening again.You will never touch me again. Mel’s heartfelt warning made me excited.I wouldn’t be who I am if I didn’t get turned on by a challenge.“If you are done moping about being chased out of your room, get out of the bathroom.” Dante bangs on the bathroom door, starling me. “We need to talk.”“Shit!” I curse. I thought I had locked the door. The last thing I need now is Dante’s snide
