The Don's Obsession 13
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

Upon my return to the office, my co-workers warmly welcomed me, their gestures accompanied by a collection of intriguing new designs neatly arranged on my desk. Politely, I expressed my gratitude to each of them."Welcome back, Ma'am!" Some colleagues addressed me with deep reverence, their acknowledgment reflecting my familial connection as the daughter of the company owner. Despite my assurance that we could adopt a more informal approach, they opted to maintain a degree of formality. Only the manager, true to her role, called me by my name."It's wonderful to see you back, Maddie!" Ma'am Ava, the manager of the operations department, greeted me affectionately with a warm hug."Thank you, Ma'am Ava," I responded gracefully, settling into my seat. Throughout the day, my colleagues approached me, genuinely curious about my married life and honeymoon. Amusingly, I frequently brushed off their inquiries with light-hearted laughter."Surprisingly, you're back," remarked Ma'am Ava. "I hea

I blinked my eyes, trying to clear my vision as I found myself seated in a cramped space. A pulsating pain seared through my wrists and ankles, reminding me that they were tightly bound. A groan escaped my lips, accompanied by a throbbing headache and a lingering sense of dizziness. Despite my efforts, the room remained blurry and I struggled to focus on my surroundings. The sound of a door opening caught my attention, though it had an unusual metallic tone to it. "Why did they bring us to a container yard? We have no backup here. What if Moretti suddenly appears?" a woman's voice expressed concern. It was then that I realized we were not in a typical room but trapped within the confined space of a 40 ft. container."Shh, keep your voice down. It's safer for us to be here, away from any property owned by the Boss. By staying here, we can avoid leaving any traces that Marco Moretti might use to track our organization. We're following the Boss' orders, and he just wants to gather som

I'm receiving care from the household staff, who were concerned enough to suggest calling a doctor. However, I assured them that it wasn't necessary. What I truly need is Dr. Alessandra. I'm looking for someone to confide in and help me process these overwhelming emotions that I've been carrying. In addition, there seems to be something troubling within my emotional wounds. As far as I can tell, there's nothing else physically wrong with me. In the past, I was able to find solace in gaining confidence, especially when Marco was by my side. But now, Marco's presence is also the catalyst for everything falling apart.Suddenly, I heard the door to the room open. Even without looking, I knew exactly who it was. Ever since this morning, I haven't spoken a word to Marco. I even recall having the fleeting thought of wanting to escape from the car that was driving us home. If only I could have a separate home too. But now, I find myself living with Marco.“Once you’re done, please go ahead an
