Mr Romano’s Obsession Chapter 32. Ancia.
Lucia's lips slowly parted, her breath catching in her throat before she finally managed to close her mouth. With a determined swallow, she forced her unwavering gaze back to Andrea, her boss. A hint of a smile played on his lips as he welcomed her."Hi, Lucia," he said, his voice warm and inviting."Hi," she replied, her voice trembling slightly. "Boss," she added, unsure of what else to say."What are..." Lucia began, but he swiftly interrupted her. "Would you invite me in first?" he asked softly, his eyes searching hers."Oh... of course. Come on in," Lucia responded, opening the door wider. Andrea smiled and walked past her. Lucia couldn’t help but hold her breath as he passed. His cologne was doing something to her senses. It wasn’t anything good.She swiftly secured the door’s lock and rushed in to meet Andrea. He stood as he surveyed the room. She wasn’t sure why her boss was here. Or was she?“I….”Andrea quickly turned to look her as Lucia paused, she bit her lips as she ent

Lucia pulled away abruptly, as if their contact had never been meant to happen. She struggled to catch her breath, feeling the intensity of the moment weighing on her. Kissing Andrea had been the craziest thing she had ever experienced."Lucia, I..." Andrea began, but she quickly retreated, her eyes pleading with him. “I really can’t do this, Mr Romano,” she looked up at him, with a pleading look. At that point, Andrea felt helpless. He had wanted to confirm something about Lucia. And now, he can’t stop yearning for her.“It’s fine,” he pressed his lips while regarding her with watchful eyes. “But please, resume work tomorrow,” Lucia paused for a moment then nodded lightly. “Sure,” Andrea stood for a moment contemplating his next move then advanced towards her.Lucia fought the urge to step back, regretting the sudden break in their romantic connection earlier. Romantic? Was she even worthy of having something romantic with this man?"Maybe..." Andrea began, his gaze calm and stea

Rio's private investigator paused, ready to divulge crucial information. "Celine Darlington, born to an Italian mother and an American father. She attended Crux High, and now she owns one of the biggest cosmetic companies in the country, but there's more to her story...""Wait, wait. Hold on a second. Celine is dead. How could she..." Rio's voice faltered as he struggled to come to terms with the reality of the situation."Dead?" The investigator seemed taken aback. "I can assure you, boss, she's very much alive. Celine underwent a face surgery.""A surgery?" Rio repeated, trying to process the shocking revelation."Yes. Based on the photo you sent me, I delved into her past. It was a challenging task since almost everything about her history appeared to have been erased."Rio muttered, "That explains a lot.""Where is she now?" Rio inquired, his impatience growing by the second."She's in Venice," the investigator revealed, causing Rio's breathing to quicken. If she was in Venice, th

“Celine,” his body shook in terror as his eyes widened. Elena noticed his discomfort as he looked from him to the woman frantically. “Luca?” She called as she tried to grasp the situation.Luca who has his attention on the woman quickly stood up and rushed towards hers, he pushed her instinctively, pinning her on the sandy floor, holding her neck tightly with all the strength he could muster.“Luca! Stop!” Elena shouted as she held him from behind, but it was like she speaking to the air. “Luca!” She continued frantically as the woman gasped and tried to push Luca away. At last, with the help of people around, they were able to get Luca off the woman.“Hey, are you alright?” Elena asked her in fear as she checked and observed her neck.“I’m fine,” the lady managed to mutter. Elena watched her frantically and turned to look at Luca who stared at the lady like he was still after her.“Luca! What the fuck was that all about?!” Elena fired Luca staggered back with a widened eye as he wat

Luca rushed towards her when he realized who she was. With a swift motion, he wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close to him. Burying his face in her fragrant hair and reeling in it’s warmth.“I’m so sorry,” he muttered. “I don’t know what’s happening to me, Elena. I’m messed up,”The woman in his arms kept still, confused. They stayed that way for some moment then Luca noticed that something was off. She didn’t reply nor reciprocated the hug.The absence of her response, the lack of reciprocal warmth, troubled him deeply."Elena?" he called out, his grip on her loosening slightly.He released her slowly, and held her shoulder as he watched her, a mixture of concern and confusion etched on his face. At that point, he caught a glimpse of another being standing some feet away from them. “Elena?” He called as he shifted his gaze from the woman standing before him and to the one feet away."Elena?" he called again, his gaze oscillating between the woman before him and the mysteri

"Listen, Maria. This is a huge. Can you double the fee?" Urgency laced the male voice from the other end of the line."Huh?" Maria responded, caught off guard."I need you to double the fee," he repeated, sounding slightly annoyed."Fine, just tell me already," she scoffed, trying to appear nonchalant. Deep down, however, she was desperate for the news. She had been keeping tabs on Andrea all these years, but from a distance. She didn't dare to get too close, knowing she was a wanted criminal."Lucia has got something going with Andrea,” he revealed."What?”Celine retorted, making her way to the table where a bottle of scotch sat. She picked it up and held the phone between her shoulder and ear, bending her head to secure it in place."Lucia," he replied.Celine scoffed in disbelief. "That's nonsense. Lucia isn't seeing anyone."The man chuckled softly. "You've been busy, Maria. You can't keep track of everything. Your baby sister has something going on with Andrea."Celine froze, let

Andrea ran his fingers through his tousled hair, desperately trying to maintain a composed façade. "Tell me everything, Rio," he requested, his voice tinged with a hint of urgency.Rio sighed, his eyes filled with concern. “He had this fight with Elena. Although…I’m not sure why. And then, she disappeared. Luca has been frantically looking for her. He's a wreck."Andrea let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding, relief washing over him. "Thank goodness," he murmured gratefully.Confusion flickered across Rio's face as he questioned, "What do you mean?""Celine called Rio," Andrea disclosed, his voice heavy with implications.Rio's eyes widened, a wave of realization crashing over him. “Oh my God,” Rio breathed, realization dawning on him. “How is that even possible?”"I don't have the answers. I've already contacted someone to investigate. I called to ensure Luca's safety. Is he with you? How is he holding up?"Rio hesitated, his gaze meeting Ryan's sympathetic eyes. The unsp

Rosa sank back on the sofa she sat on earlier. Celine words hit her like bullets. “You promised,” she said with teary eyes. Celine gave out a wicked laugh and crouch down beside her as Rosa looked at her. “What did you think Rosa? Ugh? I would just let you go. So that you can destroy my plan? Go rat me out on the Romanos? You are so dumb, Sweet Rosa,” she cooed as tears spilled from Rosa’s eyes.“You don’t plan on letting me nor my son go,” Rosa swallowed shakily.“Yeah…” Celine stood up and walked some feet away from her and turned again. “Maybe not,” she teased playfully. “I could just let you two be if I get what I want,” she gave a mocking smile.Rosa fell on her knees as she dragged herself towards Celine while holding the helm of her skirt. “Please..please Celine,” she pleaded desperately. "I'll do anything. Just let me see Robin. I beg you," she implored, her voice filled with raw desperation.Celine bent down, using her finger to lift Rosa's chin slightly, forcing their eyes

“Rio,” Rossi said. “There’s a commotion in the hospital he was admitted in. He is on the rooftop with Elena. Luca should have received a call by now. He keeps asking for him.” Rex turned to look at Luca who stared anxiously at him. “I’m with Luca right now. We’ll head there right away.” Rex said and hung up.“What…”“Your crazy Boyfriend has her.” Rex seethed.“What?”“There’s no time. Let’s leave.” Rex said as he walked out of the house, trailed after by Luca.As they entered Rex’s car, Luca was still oblivious to what was happening.“Aren’t you wrong? Rio is in a psychiatric hospital.”“And he has my sister. He is threatening to kill her.”“What?” Luca's eyes shone in surprise. How is that….”“I don’t fucking know!” Rex snapped as he faced the road and hit the accelerator. Luca stared at him and looked at the road ahead. What the fuck is happening?When they got to the hospital, there was greeted by the crowd in front of the hospital as Rio stood at the edge of the rooftop, with a

Rex paced around the living room frantically. It was late in the night and there was no sign of Elena. He has been trying to reach her since they left King’s Hotel. After the argument with Rossi, it was as of Elena had disappeared into thin air. She wasn’t even in the motel she has been hiding all this while. He dialed his father….they had both exchanged contacts earlier, both promising to give each other updates on how things would proceed.“I can’t seem to find her,” Rex said immediately after he heard the beep.Rex could hear him sigh from the receiver’s side. “Where she’s staying?”“Not there. And she isn’t picking up my calls. The call doesn’t seem to go through no matter how many times I try.” Rex said in frustration. “Does Levante have her?”“I will ask my people to track her. She’ll be fine, Rex.” Rossi said.Rex hung up but the gut feeling that his sister was in danger was overwhelming. He couldn’t just sit and wait without doing anything. What if Elena was in danger?

Luca moved instinctively towards her and drew her into his embrace. Elena's lips curved into a smile as she snuggled close to him. “What happened with Rio wasn’t your fault.” She said.“I know. I know. But I can’t seem to stop blaming myself.” He murmured in her hair. Elena rubbed his back like a child that needs consoling.“Let’s get married. And leave this place.” Luca said as Elena’s body stilled in his arms. She didn’t expect things to be going this way.She freed herself from him and looked at him. “Really?”Luca smiled at her. “And it’s not because of the child. I haven’t felt attracted to anyone the way I am to you since Angelo’s mother died. I’ve only loved her.” He said as Elena forced a smile. She hated the fact that she couldn’t tell him the truth yet. It wasn’t the time. When everything’s settled, they would have the whole time in the world. She promised herself.“For now…” Luca stared lovingly at her as he removed the strand of hair that was covering her face. “Let’s help

“What development?” Elena asked.“Someone with the same goal as us contacted me.”“What?” Elena raised a brow. “What do you mean?”“I don’t know. He wants to stay anonymous till the day we meet.” Rex said, frustration evident in his voice.“Does that make sense? Do you want to meet up with some stranger? Because of what?” Elena asked with a sarcastic look.“I don’t care. I lost Victoria. I don’t want to lose you too. As far as I know, Levante thinks you’re dead. We need to strike now. When they least expect.” Rex said with determination.“Do what you want.” Elena stood up and picked up her cell phone on the bed. “I’m going to meet the father of my unborn child.” “What? By this time? Why are so stubborn? What if Levante sees you?”“I don’t care. I might as well tell Luca the truth about them. He would stop caring about that Rio.” Elena hissed and headed for the door.The evening breeze was gentle but Elena couldn’t help but feel chilly as she stood by the roadside, looking for a cab t

“I fucked Martino.” She said dryly as Rex's eyes flickered at her for a while and averted his gaze quickly as if trying to hide something. “I fucked him,” Victoria replied as Rex shifted his gaze to her face again. “Okay.” He shrugged. “It’s all for the plan, right.” He asked, desperation hidden in his voice.Victoria cupped her face in frustration. “I love him, Rex.” Rex's hands stiffened in his pocket. He parted his lips but nothing came out. “Say something, damn it!” She fired as Rex chuckled.“Say what?” He asked, trying to fight the emotion that was burning within him.“Curse me. Call me a filthy bitch. I can take it all. But I do love him, Rex.”“And us?” Rex asked as if that has been the question in his mind.Victoria closed her eyes for a while and opened it. “I don’t know.” She shook her head as Rex’s heart sank.“I don’t know, man. I need space.” She said as tears streamed from her eye. As she turned to leave, Rex caught her arm again.“Our plans?”“Are you kidding me ri

Martino sat down in the visiting room while Levante paced around in front of him. He didn’t dare to talk. After he received his call at the hospital earlier. His urgent tone signaled to Martino that Levante was, even more, crazier than his son. “PTSD ugh?” He stopped moving as he regarded Martino. Martino paused, nothing ever gets past this man. More reason why he should be more cautious.“The doctor hasn’t made any diagnosis yet. He’s still under observation.” Martino replied, careful with his words in order not to infuriate him any further.Levante nodded. “Will he be admitted to some psychiatrist hospital?”“Like I said…”“I bloody heard you the first time, Martino!” Levante fired as Martino bowed his head. That’s more like it. This was his true character. Not the unusually quiet type that was unpredictable.“I’m sorry boss.”“Did the doctor say what caused his trauma?”“I…”“I could get that information in a matter of seconds. Think before you lie.” Levante hissed.Then why did y

“What?” Luca asked, surprised. “This is crazy, Rio.” He added quickly when he noticed his surprised look wasn’t helping matters.“Yeah! I’m crazy about you, Luca!” Rio sobbed as Luca pressed his lips in exasperation.“Those times in the past…” he started slowly and his grip on the injection was less. “I would always watch your back. Dad said it was my duty. It was our duty to watch out for the Romanos.” He scoffed with a bitter smile as Luca watched him. He hated seeing him like this. He couldn’t do anything and it added to his frustration. “I misunderstood man.” He added.“You were the best thing that happened to me,” Luca said.“Were?” Rio raised a brow.“Rio…”“Those times when you would always stay alone. Angry you couldn’t approach other girls, I wished you would just look at me. Even for once.” Rio said.“I didn’t….” Luca brushed his hand through his hair. “I didn’t know, Rio.”“Well, Now you know!” He snapped.“Yes. I do. And I appreciate you….your love.”“No, you don’t,” Rio s

“Victoria….I…” Martino started to say but the words got hung up in the air.“Martino?” Victoria called when he didn’t say anything afterward.“Anything I do in the future, just know I love you. I love you so much, Victoria.” Martino said and hung up. He swung around and marched back to the cottage. He narrowed his eyes at Elena. “I’m not going to kill you. A certain person is betting on me. So I wouldn’t want to break her trust.” Elena watched him. Was it Victoria?“Then what?” She asked with a frown.“Let’s make a deal….” “Deal?”“You already know by now that Rio wants you dead. And I can’t seem to understand why you said he tried to kill you in the past…” Martino gave her a wary look. But Elena didn’t reply. There was no use hiding it. Or was there? He is going to spare her. She should keep her mouth shut till the end.“Your deal…” she said.“Stay away from Luca. Go far away from him. Out of the country….I don’t care. Because if I see you anywhere around him, I’ll be the first to

“How are you feeling, Rio.” Levante ignored his initial statement.“It’s not your concern. You’ve always wanted to do my bidding right? Then take her out? I don’t want to see her ever again!” A silence ensued for a while then Levante spoke up. “Did she try to hurt you?”“Is that more important to you?”“Answer the damn question, boy. I pay my enemies back in full.” Levante spoke harshly as Rio sighed.“Not directly.”“What do you mean?”“Luca slept with her.” He said and paused but his father didn’t say a word. “I got overwhelmed with the thought and crashed on a poll.”“I can’t believe this,” Levante muttered under his breath.“Well?” Rio asked.“Focus on recovering. I’ll take care of the rest.” Levante said and hung up.“That isn’t a bloody answer,” Rio muttered as he put down the phone. He lay there in silence as he took time to eventually review his decision. He had called his dad on impulse. He was angry. Especially after that talk with Luca. His rage knew no bounds. He just cou
