MADDEST OBSESSION Chapter 59
(Marcus's POV)I keep calling Serena's number, but as time passes, I begin to feel frustrated and anxious. She already knew Ryle can't be trusted, but she chose to side with that person.Serena only spent a little period of time with that man, but she has been seeing me for several years and is still unaware of who I really am. I will never betray her. I'm not stupid enough to hurt and leave the person I care about and loved so much. I'm sure what she saw wounded her, but I sincerely hope she at least listened to me. Of course, I've done this to her before. Who am I to make her listen to me when I didn't listen to her back then?I flung my phone on the passenger seat out of frustration and ran my hands over my sleep-deprived face."Goddamn it!"This is so difficult. It feels like I was back a year ago when I found out the pictures were photoshopped. I should have contacted my detective to know if the pictures are authentic or not. The first glance at one of the photos consumed me wi
MADDEST OBSESSION Chapter 60
(Serena's POV)When I felt the two bobby pins stuck to my hair strands, my heart suddenly lifted with the hope that I could get out of here.I've heard of this before. Why not give it a try?With the hope of making things work out, I grab the pin on my hair, bending it at a 90-degree angle, then spreading the wavy and straight ends of the bobby pin apart so that it bends at the center and looks like an L. With a trembling breath, I stick the straight end of the hairpin about one centimeter, or about 1/3 of an inch, into the keyhole of the doorknob while applying enough pressure to bend the end of the pin into a hook.I know this will take long but I hope I can successfully open this Goddamn door before Ryle arrives.My surroundings became mute as I darted with an eye, full of concentration on the doorknob.After, I guess a few minutes of turning the pin, I heard a 'click' sound from the knob.With sweat streaming down my temple, I attempted to open the door carefully while trying to

(Marcus's POV)Suddenly, a loud gunshot startled both of us as I stepped the brake abruptly. "That's a gunshot, right?"Daniel nodded and took his revolver from his backpack as I took mine out of the glove compartment too."It's quite near to us. Are we good on our own?" Daniel said as he took in his surroundings, vigilant to potential dangers to us."We're good. It's just one gunshot."I started the engine again while being careful of our surroundings. I didn't know that this farmland is quite risky making it difficult for us to finish our goal.Then not long after, another gunshot and a scream from a familiar woman's voice caused my heart to almost jumped out of my chest.With trembling feet, I accelerated the car. "Fuck."That's Serena's voice!My heart was pounding crazily in my chest, making me anxious every second passing by without knowing the safety of Serena. I'm fucking sure that was Siri's voice, crying in pain. Her voice, full of agony and pain, crosses my head, causing
MADDEST OBSESSION Chapter 62
(Serena's POV)I rise up to consciousness out of a dead blank into a world that is whiter than anything I have ever seen, like a fish of the bottomless rising to the surface of dazzling air and sun. Because there was a small gap between the currents, sunlight bounced off the carpet. I could clearly hear voices chatting softly and in an official manner quite close by, almost behind my ear. I was lying on my back on the bed, ramrod straight as the blanket warm on my skin.As the two hazy figures moved in the room's corner, my vision was still a little bit fuzzy. I look around to carefully examine my surroundings. As my vision gradually improved, the gray canvas in front of me changed into a rock-walled ceiling. I looked back toward the corner, still only partially conscious, and noticed Marcus and a man in a white robe talking intently.Where am I? Probably in the hospital, Serena. I noticed how strange it was to wake up in this way. My hazy consciousness eventually vanished, and I onc

(Serena's POV)Her Chanel stilettos resounded in every corner of the room, disturbing my inner peace. When I saw her Cheshire cat grin, my neck suddenly warmed up. Even more, the thought of her and Marcus in bed made my blood boil in bitterness.Even though I've been locked up and shot in the thigh, I still can't forget she dares to touch Marcus while I was out of her sight. What has gotten to Marcus and he let the snake, stay inside his premises? Does he think this witch won't bite him? Doesn't he know that his sex appeal reaches heaven, so every woman wants to taste heaven with him? Marcus stood up from the stool. "What are you doing here?"I scoffed at his question."Yeah right... What. Is. She. Doing. Here." I sneered at Marcus while raising my one eyebrow in his direction.He abruptly shook his head and held my hand. "I didn't invite her."Really? How did she know I'm in this hospital? My room number? Does he think I'm dumb?Nonetheless, I didn't let go of my hand because I saw

If that happens, my company in Italy is at stake. All because my Uncle is doing dirty stuff behind my back. Now that I'm against his plan, he's doing these things on purpose.I'm gradually losing regard for him, and I'm worried that I might stop thinking of him as a family as a result of his disrespect for my father.Uncle Gregor is the son of my grandfather's mistress.

He's bribing the board of directors by taking me down and proving I lack in knowledge to run the company.My head is messed up.The stocks are losing their percentage and some of my p
MADDEST OBSESSION Chapter 65
(Serena's POV)The air was cool but the sun was out while the wind blew itself passed our bare skin as we strode out from the glass entrance door of the Lancaster General Hospital. Kevin hauled my belongings into the car while Marcus held up my waist so I could use the axillary crutches correctly. I was discharged from the hospital and the Doctor said that my wound will heal in a few days. Thankfully, the wound is not that deep. Should I be thankful for Ryle's carelessness?Nonetheless, I'm not in the right mind right now. My head is messed up. Marcus and I have not spoken since last night. After twenty-four hours from the time he had promised, he finally returned. I'm not waiting for his return though.The whole ride back to the mansion was quiet as hell. I took a glance at Marcus who was in deep thought while staring blankly at the window. He must have gone through it. Is it that bad? Was it my fault why he's suffering right now? I just added to his worry and responsibility, he eve
MADDEST OBSESSION Chapter 66
(Serena's POV)Staring at his glorious face, I snap myself back to the present and to the book I am reading. We sat by the parlor, him staring out to the forest while I sat by the window, staring aimlessly at the pages laid on my lap.It's been a week since Ryle abducted me. Actually, I'm trying my best to forget that moment, also, the moment with Ryle as a precious friend. That's why I forced Marcus to take a day off. Speaking of Suzy, her father found out her staying at Marcus's house, maybe that's why Uncle Gregor is damn mad at Marcus. The morning sun is now high up in the sky, announcing mid-afternoon; the breeze has ceased, replaced by the ever-prickly warm haze. I huff, shifting my feet so that I am leaning by the window pane."Siri, what would you like to do for the rest of the day rather than spend it with your book?" I stared at him for a while as he leaned across the open doors, his head tilted to the view of the forest, as though he isn't really talking to me. I raised an
