The Don's Obsession 34
I have been abiding by Marco's wishes, but we haven't been communicating. This situation has left me feeling resentful, as if Marco doesn't trust my ability to look after myself. It's as though he believes I'll encounter danger at every turn and end up in a catastrophe as soon as I step out of the house. Feeling trapped indoors, I find myself with nothing to occupy my time. Even when I do manage to go out, I require Marco's approval, and once granted, I'm accompanied by a swarm of bodyguards. The level of security I have sometimes makes me feel like I exceed that of the First Lady. Consequently, I often lose my motivation to venture outside. This has been the state of affairs for an entire week, and despite occasional conversations with Marco, we find ourselves in a cold war of sorts. Even my training sessions have shifted to being carried out within the confines of my home. It's different when emotions come into play; it affects the accuracy of my aim, causing each bullet to consiste

The evening was filled with laughter, storytelling, drinks, and a touch of sentimentality. That's how our night unfolded. In addition to Marco, Violet, and Aunt Mildred, I'm grateful for the friends who have stood by me during the most difficult moments of my life."Sophia mentioned that your husband doesn't want to have children. Is that really the case, Madison?" Alec's words were slurred, indicating her tipsiness."Yes, it's true," I responded. "But Marco must have his reasons.""What could his reasons be? Why does he choose to withhold his lineage and deprive me of adorable godchildren?"Sophia burst into laughter at Alec's comment and playfully tapped his arm."This girl is already intoxicated!" Sophia grabbed the drink from Alec, but he was still reluctant to quit."Don't take my glass, you bitch!" he slurred, clearly becoming drowsy."Stop it! You'll be driving later; listen to Sophia. I intervened to help Sophia take the drink away from Alec because he appeared heavily intoxic

The journey with Marco remained silent. I couldn't resist pinching my hand as a reminder to express my gratitude for his significant gesture towards Alec.As the car halted at a red traffic light, I took a deep breath, gathering the courage to address Marco."Thank you," I whispered, attempting to avoid meeting his eyes, but eventually succumbing to their pull. "I know you went out of your way to help Alec.""He means a lot to you, Maddie, and I'm always ready to assist those who are important to you. You don’t have to thank me," Marco replied.His words moved me deeply, causing my lips to quiver. I longed to reconcile with Marco, wondering why it took me so long to initiate this conversation.As the car resumed its movement, it unexpectedly came to a halt again at the roadside, catching me off guard. Now, only Marco and I remained, stranded in the middle of the street.I gazed out the window, pondering our location when suddenly, Marco's chilly hand reached out to touch mine. Startle

As I rubbed my tired eyes, I immediately noticed the comforting weight of Marco's arm resting on my stomach. Despite just waking up, a smile formed on my lips. The events that transpired after I drifted off to sleep last night were a mystery to me, but judging from my current attire, Marco had even taken the time to dress me when we arrived home.Beside me, Marco peacefully slept, his handsome face exuding tranquility. I had the urge to gently touch his face, but I hesitated, not wanting to disturb his slumber. It was a rare sight to see Marco sleeping next to me or to have the opportunity to admire his face in such serenity. Typically an early riser, it puzzled me even more that he remained by my side.I cherished the feeling of being held like this by him. It seemed that these days, my recurring nightmares had ceased to haunt me. Deep down, my subconscious recognized that I was secure in Marco's embrace and had no cause for fear.As Marco began to awaken, a wide smile painted itself

Without exchanging words, Marco went straight to our room, and I quietly trailed behind. There was an unspoken tension between us as we avoided making eye contact. Upon entering the room, I came to a halt. The weight of my concerns was too heavy to ignore. While I understood that not everyone desired children, they held a significant place in our marriage. I craved understanding Marco's reasons or intentions, even if they didn't involve having children immediately, just to ease my restless thoughts."Marco," I called out to him, but he remained with his back turned towards me, unfazed by my words. "I want to have a baby."My hand tightened, anticipating his reaction. He froze as my words sank in, revealing that this was a topic he had anticipated but dreaded discussing. His reactions alone conveyed a wealth of meaning, leaving me feeling like I already had my answer, even though no words were exchanged.Marco slowly pivoted, reluctantly meeting my gaze. His eyes mirrored the darkness

After hanging out with my friends, I arrived back home and sensed an improvement in my mood. My mind was no longer as scattered or consumed by deep contemplation as it had been before. Marco's profound sadness, which I witnessed that night, had been troubling me. Although I was eager to uncover the cause, I recognized the importance of respecting Marco's readiness to share or not.Regarding the matter of having children, we could defer discussing it to a later occasion. It's possible that Marco has already made a decision and is currently committed to it. However, it remains probable that he might change his stance in the future. We just need to wait for the right moment to broach the topic again.I found myself in Marco's study room, which he often used as his workspace when he wasn't in the office. Although I knew he wouldn't be returning home anytime soon due to his heavy workload, I already yearned for his presence. The thought of calling him and expressing my desire crossed my mi

It had been a few days since our argument, and I found myself no longer clinging to him in the same way. Uncertain of how to show affection without any sign of reconciliation, I felt a shift in my behavior towards him.At home, I sat in front of the TV, my gaze fixed on the screen even though I had little interest in what was playing. The movie happened to be a romance, a genre I typically enjoyed, but it failed to resonate with me at that moment.Suddenly, my cellphone began to ring. Without checking the caller ID, I picked it up from its spot beside me and answered, saying, "Hello..." Initially assuming it was Marco or one of my friends, my eyes widened when I heard a man's voice on the other end."Maddie?"Damn, it was Carson!I quickly surveyed my surroundings, ensuring there was no chance of anyone overhearing our conversation. Taking a deep breath, I prepared myself. While I had nothing to hide, the mere mention of talking to Carson could spur jealousy in Marco, leading to anoth
The Don's Obsession 41
When I arrived home, Marco was still not there. Heading to the bedroom, I settled in to wait for his return. Restlessness washed over me as the minutes ticked by, leaving me to ponder his inexplicable absence. Despite my contemplation, I couldn't conjure a plausible explanation for his actions.If Carson's suspicions were valid and his absence was indeed due to me, the question lingered: why? Our paths had never crossed, and we had never engaged in any meaningful interactions before. His recent display of kindness towards me felt out of character.Right on schedule, at five o'clock, Marco finally arrived. As the door swung open, our fleeting eye contact revealed starkly contrasting emotions. For him, it seemed like just another ordinary day, but for me, everything had changed.As he entered the bathroom, it took only a few moments before he emerged, making his way towards the walk-in closet. He appeared without his shirt, revealing a physique that would have normally captivated me. Bu
