The Don's Obsession 10
During the ride to Marco's parents' house, I remained quite, purposefully avoiding eye contact with Marco as I wasn't prepared to confront him yet. The recent events had left me stunned, and I wasn’t sure about how to address the situation with my husband.While my hands still retained their chill, a sense of relief washed over me, understanding that Marco wouldn't do anything to Lucille as close to those he shot earlier.I closed my eyes for a moment, remembering the blood that had been splattered from the men Marco had shot. It struck me that I had considered that blood to be mine. I had no idea where that thought had come from.We arrived at Marco's parents' grand residence, and as soon as someone opened the door, I stepped out. Avoiding eye contact with Marco's staff, I felt a sinking feeling that they were aware of what had happened earlier. Embarrassment washed over me, fully aware that it was my fault. I couldn't shake the thought that my careless actions could have put innocen

I entered the room directly and promptly retrieved some clothes before making my way into the bathroom. I spent some time in there to clear my mind, as Marco's presence in the same room would have complicated my thoughts further.Once I had regained my composure, I emerged from the bathroom and noticed that Marco was dressed in loose sweatpants that hung on his waist, teasingly revealing a seductive V-line.Marco had opted not to wear anything on his upper body. He rested one of his hands casually by his side while engrossed in a phone conversation. My attention was completely captivated by his bare torso, making it impossible for me to hear any of the words he was saying.I easily noticed Marco's armband tattoo on his left arm. On it, the name "Moretti" was elegantly inscribed in a beautiful Old English font, complemented by intricate lines that added to its allure. His tattoos enhanced his masculine aura.Similarly, his back tattoo caught my attention. Positioned in the middle of hi

I woke up early, but Marco had already risen even earlier. When I woke up, he wasn't by my side. I got out of bed and headed straight to the bathroom to wash up and do my morning routine.As I looked at myself in the mirror, I noticed a reddish mark on my neck and a few bite marks that I assumed were from Marco's actions last night.Last night. Suddenly, all the details came rushing back. From the way Marco teased my nipples to how passionately he played with me. My face flushed, and I couldn't deny the intense heat that washed over me. I washed my face again, almost submerging it in the sink out of embarrassment for what happened last night. I pleaded with Marco. I almost touched myself. I felt like a different person, almost unrecognizable to myself."You're such a fool, Maddie," I whispered to myself.After finishing up in the bathroom, I emerged and made my way to the walk-in closet, trying to find an outfit that would conceal the marks on my neck. Despite the scorching weather ou

Marco and I dined together once more because he arrived home early. I concealed my agony, knowing that even a slight arm movement would trigger it.I appreciated Marco's silence and lack of curiosity. It spared me from creating excuses in case he inquired about my visit to my father.As I prepared to ascend to our bedroom, Marco grasped my arm and spun me around. He inadvertently brushed against the bruise, causing me to emit a gasp of pain."Ah!"Momentarily, Marco's brow creased with concern, but he swiftly masked his emotions."I-I’m sorry. I didn't mean to startle you," I said, while I averted my gaze, attempting to conceal my pain-ridden expression.Marco commanded, "Show me your arm."Confused, I deliberately feigned ignorance, saying, "Sorry, what?""Don't play dumb, Maddie. You heard me," Marco responded firmly, signaling for me to comply. When Marco used my name in that tone, it carried a different meaning.I reluctantly revealed my arm, and Marco gingerly laid his hand on it

As soon as Renzo saw us, he swiftly arranged for the car, and Marco signaled to them. We hurried into the car, putting distance between us and the uneasy situation.Marco invited me to join him in the front seat of his Rolls-Royce, opening the door courteously. He then positioned himself in the driver's seat."I just need to swing by the office quickly to sign some pending documents. Once that's done, I have the whole day free. Where would you like to go?"Marco's words sparked excitement within me. Could this be a date? The possibility lingered in my mind, causing a flutter of anticipation in my stomach."How about the mall?" I suggested, realizing I needed to refill my skincare supplies and restock my makeup collection. Additionally, I felt the desire for some new clothing pieces to freshen up my wardrobe.Marco affirmed with a nod before donning his pricey sunglasses and heading off to his office. I opted to remain in the car, as he assured me it would be a brief errand. True to hi

Sophia and I are back together because we missed each other. Our previous meeting was too brief due to Marco's presence, so we didn't have enough time to catch up.My friend Sophia was curious about my husband and asked, "Tell me about your husband! How is your relationship with him? Are you sure he treats you well? Looks-wise, he's incredibly attractive! He resembles a Greek god's offspring, almost too perfect for the human world!"I shrugged in response to Sophia's remarks.While Marco doesn't confine me to our home, I do have a group of bodyguards nearby for added security. Marco has given me the freedom to be out and about, but it's reassuring to have some protection around.I confided in my friend about everything I've experienced while being under Marco's control for the past month."We're going through a rough patch. He's been distant lately, and there's this barrier between us. His actions often leave me puzzled. Sometimes he seems concerned, but then he suddenly becomes cold.

"Can I go back to work, Marco?"I had left my job at our company in preparation for taking on my father's position once he retired, assuming he would pass it down to me. However, now that I'm married to Marco, I felt the need to contribute and not stay idle at home.Marco stopped eating and focused his gaze on me. Trying to mask my nervousness, I offered a smile."I feel restless doing nothing here. I believe it's time for me to return to work, maybe at my father's company."Marco's jaw tensed upon hearing mention of my father, clearly unhappy about the connection I was making."I don't want you getting close to him. He might hurt you again," Marco responded, shaking his head and directing his attention back to his meal.I'm grateful for his care, even though things are a bit unclear with his actions and mixed feelings towards me. It makes me happy that he's upfront about wanting me to be safe without any hidden agenda.Although my father works in a different department, on separate f

The intensity of his cold gaze remained unchanged, leaving no trace of whether I had successfully persuaded him. As I moved closer, the fact that we were both naked in the shower slipped from my mind. Placing my hand on his shoulder, it gradually glided downward, coming to rest on his chest. The glimmer of light danced upon my hand, drawing attention to my wedding ring. "Maddie, telling a killer to stop is like asking an artist to quit their art. It's just not possible," he said, sounding a bit sad. It was clear I couldn't change Marco's mind about taking lives. There was something inside him that was connected to it, and he couldn't let go. "But, for your sake, I'll spare your father." I breathed a sigh of relief, feeling better about trusting him even though I had doubts because of how he looked and acted whenever he’s mad. His fingers tenderly caressed my cheek, his gaze intensifying as it locked onto mine. "You have the most captivating eyes," he remarked, his touch transition

Marco handed the gun to one of his men before walking in my direction. He paused briefly when he faced Caleb."Why did you bring her here?" Marco asked in a stern and chilling tone."She wanted to know where you were," Caleb replied casually.Marco walked directly toward me. He grasped my arm and pulled me out. He closed the door behind us, cutting off my view of the people they were tormenting. I looked at him and was met with the cold gaze of his eyes.It had been a while since he had looked at me this way, and seeing it again now made me feel uneasy."Go home, Maddie. I'll have someone take you back," he said."No," I regained my composure when I heard Marco's voice. His manner of looking at me hadn't changed. "I haven't seen you at home. I'm not even sure if you're still coming home. That's why I went to Caleb to find out where you were. Who are the men inside? What are you doing to them?"Marco hesitated, clearly restraining himself from saying something. Eventually, he closed hi

We arranged a proper burial for my sister and for Renzo, even though his body hadn't been found yet. It was extremely private, with only the three of us present. Aunt Mildred sobbed uncontrollably and couldn't accept Violet's fate. I, too, was running out of tears from all the crying while they were being laid to rest in the ground. I couldn't help but recall all the happy memories I had with her."Sis, I can't sleep. Can I stay here?""Sis, why does Dad hurt you like this? It shouldn't be like that. If I could take away the pain you're feeling right now, I would.""Sis, I'm happy that you're my sister. You're two in one, you know! I have a sister and a best friend in you.""You know, Sis, if I were given a choice of who I'd want as my sister, I'd choose you every time. I love you, Sis!"Tears flowed even more as I remembered those moments. I knew that their memories would stay with me, but I would never hear Violet's voice again.Half of my being felt like it died when Violet passed

Marco's embrace tightened, causing me to lift my gaze and meet his intense expression.At first, I believed Marco was indifferent to the situation, but now I see my assumptions were mistaken. He was undeniably affected by it all; he simply concealed his emotions.Eventually, we returned home, leaving Caleb behind to lead the squad in the search for the Lombardis. I overheard Marco conversing with his father, entrusting him with the responsibility of managing the company during his absence.We reached our home, where the household staff kindly assisted me in freshening up since I was physically unable to do it myself. Once I was left alone, I found it impossible to function, overwhelmed by a deep sense of weakness. The realization that Violet was no longer part of our lives seemed incomprehensible, refusing to fully register in my mind.I lay on the bed, silently sobbing. No matter how desperately I wished to stop, every recollection of Violet's last words brought forth uncontrollable t

We trailed the man without hesitation, even though he clearly wasn't keen on my presence. His resistance didn't matter as I doggedly pursued their path. On the opposite bank, some of Marco's associates were causing a stir, extracting something from the river. I pushed through the bustling crowd to catch a glimpse of their find."Violet!"My sister's usually fair complexion appeared ghostly pale. Her lips lacked color, and her closed eyes gave her an eerie, lifeless appearance.I lunged toward her, but the authorities on the scene stopped me."You can't, ma'am," they firmly hinder my approach. I stared intensely at the body they had recovered, fearing the worst – it bore an uncanny resemblance to Violet."No! I need to confirm if it's truly her! Let me through!"Fighting against the police, I strained to reach Violet, but Marco swiftly grabbed me, preventing me from getting any closer.I observed him, noticing how he averted his gaze, clearly unable to confront my current state.A surg

I could sense the unrest within me, a constant unease that refused to subside. My mind ran wild with thoughts of the missing ones, their absence gnawing at my soul. I longed for a break, a moment of respite, but time slipped through my fingers, as if mocking my desire for calm.In that turbulent state, Vittoria took charge, guiding me gently to sit. Her firm yet soothing touch caressed my back, attempting to bring solace to my weary spirit. Yet, beneath her reassuring words, I sensed the hollowness of promises unfulfilled. Deep down, I knew that true peace would elude me until my sister and Renzo were safely by my side.Time blurred, each passing moment a mystery as reports and updates were limited to Dad alone. The rest of the Moretti family and their associates remained scattered across distant lands. Only Stefano, Dad, and Vittoria were present, while Gabriele, burdened with his laboratory duties, stood confined inside.The door swung open with a sudden force, grabbing my attention

Violet abruptly broke away from my grasp, She quickly stood up and ran the other direction. Her eyes showed an unbreakable determination, which caused the chase to pause for a moment, seizing the attention of those chasing us. The moment I realised her success, I also quickly went the other way.Tears coursed down my cheeks, my heart wrenching with worry for my sister's safety. I prayed fervently that she would remain safe until I could find help.Exhausted beyond measure, I refused to stop my desperate flight. Numbness consumed my legs from the relentless pace. Lost in my thoughts, I failed to notice the uneven ground beneath me.I stumbled and cascaded downhill, agony searing through my body, but I mustered the strength to rise. My eyes widened in profound realization—the realization that I had fallen onto a desolate road.I swiftly rose to my feet, determined to keep running. With every step, I prayed to the universe to grant me a sight of a passing car and a compassionate soul to

The security cameras in this place paled in comparison to the extensive surveillance at the Moretti's. Thanks to Marty, I knew exactly where the blind spots were, which turned out to be invaluable now.As I listened to one of the guards speaking, their voice laced with suspicion, it became evident that something had caught their attention in the adjacent room. The number of people present remained a mystery, clouding the situation further.Our path grew darker as we proceeded. Taking a momentary shelter, we huddled together, seeking solace in each other's presence while contemplating our next moves."Sis, what now? We're lost," Violet voiced her vagueness.Unable to provide an immediate answer, I echoed her confusion. The labyrinthine layout of this place made navigation a formidable challenge."Let's stick with the plan, Violet. Evading capture is our main priority. We'll uncover a way out in due course," I said, exhaling deeply while clasping my sister's hand tightly. The grip on my

"Sis," Violet whispered, her voice barely above a murmur. "The new driver, he's one of them. He deceived us all, infiltrating our home and studying our every move. This was all part of their carefully orchestrated plan. They were aware of Marco's imminent departure and the Moretti family's gathering, ensuring your guards would be occupied elsewhere. They had all the information, which is why they struck today."Violet looked at me, concern etched on her face. Uncertainty flickered in her eyes, but I tried to reassure her with a smile. While Ronan seemed knowledgeable about the Moretti family, he couldn't possibly comprehend the full extent of my capabilities. He never suspected that I had a plan to escape from this predicament, using my wits and resourcefulness to secure our freedom.As the details of my plan unfold, Violet's apprehension gradually transformed into trust. Though the odds were stacked against us, with risks looming at every turn, I remained determined. I would stop at

"I am Ronan Lombardi, the last remaining heir of the Lombardi family—the one your husband annihilated. I am also the inheritor of the organization where your mother dedicated her life, and where you reluctantly pledged your service." He stooped down to my eye level, caressing my hair and coercing me to meet his gaze. "Maddie, your loyalty should rightfully belong to me, not your husband. I am the master, and your mother entrusted your life to our cause."My teeth clenched, confirming my instincts. Despite Marco's claims of wiping out the entire Lombardi clan, there was indeed one survivor—the heir, Ronan.Tightening my fist, I regretted not voicing my doubts to Marco that fateful night. Maybe, if I had, he would have taken precautions to ensure the annihilation of every last Lombardi, leaving no room for survivors.My thoughts came to a halt as Ronan slowly raised his hand towards the mask covering half of his face. He gently caressed it for a moment before slowly removing it.My eyes
