Mr Romano’s Obsession Chapter 37. Caught Off Guard.
"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 pushed Ryan away forcefully, abruptly breaking their passionate kiss. His gaze bore into Ryan's eyes with an intensity that felt like accusation, as if he had committed an unforgivable crime. Anger surged through Rio's veins, his voice laced with frustration. "What the hell, Ryan?" he fired, unable to contain his emotions.Ryan watched him, his heart racing with unease. "Rio, I'm so..." he began, his voice trembling."Shut up," Rio interrupted, pointing aggressively at Ryan, his eyes filled with fury. "Don't you ever try that again. Do you hear me?" he warned, his anger propelling him towards the door. However, Ryan couldn't let it go."Are you going to let yourself be the third wheel forever?" Ryan's voice resonated with anger, challenging Rio's decision.Rio halted abruptly, turning to face him.Rio stopped on his track and turned to him. “You don’t get to talk about that. And my personal life is none of your business. Get well and get the hell out of my life,” Rio seethed."I'm

"Hi…" Elena breathed as she opened the door to see her unexpected guest. Would she call her a guest? Her husband's slut?She had a friendly smile on her face. The most shocking thing was that she looked exactly like her. Who has got doppelgänger these days?“Hello,” she said with the smile on her face. She looked more beautiful even if they looked alike. Elena was a shadow of herself.“Umm….are you Elena?” She asked with an unsure look.“Yeah,” Elena replied trying not to sound rude. She wasn’t going to give off the rude vibes just because her husband was stupid enough to two time."I'm Maria," she introduced herself, extending her hand. Elena hesitated for a moment before reciprocating the gesture. "We've met before, right?" Maria asked, raising an eyebrow. "Not in the best way, I suppose," she chuckled nervously. Elena quickly withdrew her hand from Maria's after a brief handshake."Why are you here, Maria?" Elena asked unexpectedly, her question tinged with sarcasm."To see you, El

Elena's lips parted in disbelief. Was this bitch playing with her? “Sorry?” She asked the weight of Maria’s voice weighing on her. Maria let out a soft chuckle that was laced with pretense. “Joking!” She retorted with a glint of playfulness. But Elena wasn’t feeling it. It was evident in her feigned smile.“You do joke a lot, Maria. Do you know that?” Elena asked in an almost pissed tone. “I do get that a lot. That’s why I’m fascinating,” She shrugged. Elena nodded with a smile, she was starting to hate her guts. Because she was starting to feel insecure around her. She made to say something when her phone rang. She looked at the caller’s ID. Her lips curved into a mischievous smile as she picked it up and placed it on her ear.“Hey, Luca,” she said unnecessarily out loud enough to make Maria shift her attention to her. She could notice the change in her expression as her own eyes sparkle in victory. “Finally,” Luca said from the other side. “You picked up my call. I almost went….”

“Nah, it’s no fun to tell you, Carlos,” Celine said as a wicked smile played on her lips and hung up the phone. It was going to be a crazy night. She could feel it.She walked to her wardrobe to pull out something to wear for the night.*******Andrea picked up the glass of wine he was finding solace in that night after the argument with Luca. He found himself in a web of confusion that moment, drowning like he could not be saved. He felt useless and worthless. Right now, staying alone would only drive him crazy. He needed company. Then he thought of Lucia. They haven’t talked since their last conversation. Even though she agreed to come back to work, it doesn’t mean she would work as his secretary. She would be transferred back to the department she was brought from. To crown it all, she wasn’t back to the company generally. He picked up his phone and dialed her.“Hey,” came a nervous voice from the receiver’s side."Can you come over...," Andrea's voice trembled. "Just for a minute
Mr Romano’s Obsession Chapter 44. I’m Not Okay.
Elena considered leaving the restaurant after witnessing Luca's intimate interaction with Maria, but she decided against it. She was determined to prove that Luca belonged to her. Her anger propelled her towards their table, her demeanor resembling that of a wounded cat. She flashed a sheepish smile immediately she got there. By then Luca had noticed her presence. Maria quickly removed her hand on Luca’s when Elena’s gaze fell on it.“Hey, Babe. You’re finally here. Maria here was keeping me company,”“Oh really,” Elena muttered as she gave Maria a disdainful look. “Then stay with her throughout out the night,” Elena turned and walked out of the restaurant admist Luca’s call.Luca quickly followed her as she stormed out of the restaurant. He caught up with her when they were just feet away from the restaurant’s entrance.“Elena, Wait. Listen, Elena,” Luca called as Elena turned as she eyed him. He tried to catch his breath as he watched her. “It’s not what you think, I promise. Right

“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
