XXXII - The Price of Obedience

Author: Andy Whitte
last update Last Updated: 2023-10-27 21:20:00
The pain in my chest didn’t disappear. On the contrary, it grew stronger. The mansion I was in seemed to crumble on top of me, a gilded cage, but a cage nonetheless. It didn’t matter what the Dangello brothers said, it didn’t matter what they promised me, the reality was that I no longer had control over anything. I was a piece in their game, a pawn on a board I hadn’t chosen.

Maddox and Dax had left me alone in one of the largest rooms in the mansion, with walls adorned in gold and heavy curtains falling over the windows. Everything in this place was designed to make me feel small. To constantly remind me that I was nothing more than another item in a luxury closet. I felt invisible, as if my presence here was nothing but a void they needed to fill.

I sat on the bed, my hands clenched on the sheets, not knowing what to do or where to go. I felt a mix of anger, fear, and desperation. I couldn’t bear to be here. I couldn’t bear being controlled like this. But at the same time, I couldn’

  • illegal Wife by Accident   XXXIII - The Dark Revelation

    The weight of the mansion continued to crush me, as if every corner was designed to remind me how small and insignificant I felt. The opulence was nothing but a facade, a constant reminder that I was trapped. It wasn’t just the wealth surrounding me—it was the power. A power that went beyond what I imagined, beyond what I could understand. The Dangello brothers weren’t just powerful in their world; they had enemies as dark and dangerous as they were.Maddox, in particular, was a man who not only controlled the situation I found myself in but was at the top of a network of influences that extended far beyond what anyone could see. There was something about his presence, his gaze, that made it clear that he wasn’t just a powerful man. He was someone who could move mountains and destroy empires with a single word. And I, despite everything I had been through, still didn’t know if I was his victim or simply another piece on his chessboard.That morning, unlike others, there was no silence

  • illegal Wife by Accident   XXXIV - The Crucial Decision

    The mansion seemed colder than usual. It wasn’t just the temperature. It was the feeling of being trapped in a place I couldn’t escape, surrounded by luxury and opulence but with no freedom. The endless hallways, the walls adorned with valuable tapestries, the large windows letting in light from a distant sun, all reminded me of how small I had become.The Dangello brothers showed no interest in me. In the first few weeks, their indifference was almost palpable. They went on with their lives, managing their empire of shadows, while I became just another part of the mansion, a space that only occupied room. My presence didn’t affect them. I had been absorbed into their world without being able to deny it.Maddox, in particular, remained distant. His cold, calculating gaze left no room for emotions. At that moment, I didn’t care. I was furious, resentful of everything that had happened, everything they had done to me. My world had been shattered into a thousand pieces, and the only way t

  • illegal Wife by Accident   XXXV - The Weight of the Decision

    The sound of footsteps echoed through the mansion’s hallways, each one resonating in my mind with the same intensity that my heart was beating. I couldn’t avoid it: everything seemed out of control. Despite my apparent calm, every minute that passed made me feel more like a puppet, tied to a fate from which I didn’t know how to escape. What had started as a simple power struggle between the Dangello brothers and me had now turned into something much bigger, more dangerous, and every day that passed, the shadows of the enemies surrounding us grew longer.Maddox, Dax, and Maxilian still remained indifferent, but at the same time, it was clear that each of them played a part in what was unfolding. Despite everything I had been through, there was something I couldn’t deny: the tension between us. It wasn’t the same indifference it had been in the beginning. Something had changed, but I couldn’t identify what exactly it was. Perhaps it was the closeness. Maybe the way each of them’s inner s

    The air was heavy that morning. Although the sun shone through the mansion’s large windows, the atmosphere inside the house remained tense, like an imminent storm. Several weeks had passed since my confrontation with Maddox and Dax. My life, which had once seemed so predictable, was now in constant turmoil. Although I hadn’t made a final decision yet, the situation had changed. The Dangello brothers were no longer simply figures imposing power; there was more to them, something I couldn’t ignore.Over the past few weeks, something inside me had begun to shift. The anger, though still present, had calmed down a bit. But that didn’t mean I had fully accepted everything around me. I knew something big was about to happen, that the truth about the Council and the real role I played in all of this would finally come to light. Despite the emotional storm raging within me, I knew I had to be ready to face it.The day began like any other. The distant sound of guards patrolling the mansion rea

    The days that followed my last confrontation with Maddox and Dax were tense. The mansion, with its imposing air and constant silence, had become a place that no longer felt welcoming. Every corner, every hallway, reminded me that, although I was surrounded by luxury and power, I was truly trapped. Despite my attempts to maintain composure, the truth was clear: I no longer had control over my destiny. The Dangello brothers, the Council, the external threats, everything seemed out of my reach.Weeks had passed since Maddox had left me with the decision to join them or face them. My mind had been revolving around the same dilemma, and although I felt I couldn’t escape, something within me still fought to maintain a semblance of control. What did it really mean to be part of their world? What sacrifices would I have to make to stay safe? And most importantly: was I truly a part of this game, or was I simply another piece they would move when they deemed it necessary?Today, however, someth

    The atmosphere in the mansion was heavy with palpable tension. Every step I took brought me closer to the inevitable decision I had to make. There was something in the air, something I couldn’t ignore. The Council was near, and the threat of betrayal within the Dangello family was greater than I had imagined. For days, I had lived with uncertainty, but now the moment of truth seemed to be upon me. I could no longer keep postponing the inevitable.The news of what had happened outside the mansion had arrived swiftly. The sealed envelope Maddox had received had brought with it a sense of urgency. Although I didn’t know what it contained, Maddox’s reaction told me everything I needed to know: something had changed, something that irrevocably altered the balance of power. My mind kept searching for answers, but with every second, I felt like I was diving deeper into a darkness from which I could no longer escape.That evening, the mansion seemed quieter than usual, as if everyone knew some

    The mansion seemed colder than usual that night. The news of the Council's movement had sparked a flame that couldn’t easily be extinguished. The sealed envelope that Maddox had received only confirmed what I had feared: the war for power wasn’t just near—it had already begun. As the hours passed, I felt the pressure mounting, and the weight of the decision I had to make grew heavier. It wasn’t just about my future anymore, but everyone around me. The Dangello brothers, though powerful and calculating, were about to face a threat that could dismantle everything they had built. And I... I was the centerpiece.Days had passed since Maddox had given me the ultimatum: make a decision and join them, or face the full brunt of the Council’s betrayal. As the hours went on, my mind began to find more clarity, though I didn’t like what I was seeing. I was trapped in a game much bigger than me, and the worst part was that I didn’t know if I even wanted to keep playing. What had I lost by being pa
