The Mafia King’s Chubby Obsession

The Mafia King’s Chubby Obsession

“He looked at Chloe and saw nothing. She is the perfect camouflage. She is safe because she is... undesirable.” Lorenzo Moretti, the King of Sicily's underworld, trusts no one. A deep, unresolved betrayal has poisoned his heart, leaving him obsessed with control and viewing women as a liability. He met Chloe Rossi: a clumsy, unfiltered cook drowning in debt. She stumbles into his life and is hired for her invisibility. She is too messy, too chaotic, and too chubby to attract the attention of assassins or rivals. But Chloe is an accident in motion. Her nervous, unfiltered honesty cuts through Lorenzo's defenses. When a moment of rage forces him to lock them both in his office, she becomes a witness to his deepest weakness. He told her she was undesirable. He hired her for utility. Now, trapped and holding his most dangerous secret, she watches the King’s paranoia turn into an obsession he can’t fight. She is the only one who sees the broken man beneath the monster.

Day 4 of Lockdown.I was done crying. I was done feeling sorry for myself.Lorenzo had called me a liability. He had said I couldn't help.Watch me, I thought.I sat on the edge of the massive king-sized bed. The room was silent. I had no phone. No laptop. No tablet. Lorenzo had stripped the room of anything that could transmit a signal.But he had forgotten one thing.I looked at the wall opposite the bed.Mounted there was an 85-inch 8K Smart TV.It was designed for watching movies, but like every smart device, it had an operating system. And that operating system had a web browser.It was clunky. It was slow. Typing with a remote control was a nightmare. But it was a window to the outside world.I grabbed the remote. I muted the volume so the guards outside wouldn't hear.I opened the browser.I started searching. Not for news about the attacks—Lorenzo had already shown me those—but for Sebastian St. Clair.I pulled up every article, every interview, every paparazzi photo from the

Over the Atlantic. 40,000 Feet.The flight back to New York was silent.The silence was really bad. It felt like something was pushing down on me. I could not breathe. This feeling was even worse, than when people were screaming. The silence was very heavy. It was suffocating me.Lorenzo was sitting on one side of the cabin. I was sitting on the side of the cabin. Lorenzo had not looked at me since we got on the plane. He had his laptop open. He was typing really fast. There was a glass of whiskey sitting next, to him but he had not touched it.I had on a pair of grey sweatpants and a hoodie that Giovanni found in the emergency luggage on the jet. The sweatpants and hoodie made me feel really small. I felt like a kid who got in trouble at school and had to go to the principals office. Now I was being taken home by a parent who was not happy, with me. The grey sweatpants and hoodie did not make me feel any better."Lorenzo " I said quietly.

The Wolf behind the desk

The Wolf behind the desk

You belong to the wolf now," he growls, initiating a possessive claim that is ancient, fierce, and utterly non-negotiable. Elara Kim spent nine years as the ice-cold CEO Rian Thorne’s executive assistant, dedicated to her job but desperate for freedom. When she finally submits her resignation, Rian's controlled facade shatters. His eyes turn to liquid gold, and she realizes her billionaire boss is a monster hiding in tailored wool. Rian doesn’t just reject her notice—he rejects her autonomy. He forcibly promotes her and relocates her to a sealed luxury suite on the 65th floor, effectively turning her professional life into a gilded cage. Elara soon discovers the terrifying reason behind his possessiveness: she is his Anchor, the only thing preventing his inner wolf from consuming him entirely. As the moon cycle approaches, Rian’s control fails, and he collapses, exposing his absolute, animalistic need for her touch. But when their forced intimacy draws the attention of rival packs who want the Anchor for themselves, Elara realizes her only chance for survival is to submit to the man who holds her captive. She knows the cost of freedom is high. But the cost of staying could be her life.

Chapter: Chapter 27: The Shattered Gate
The boat hit the sand. The hull groaned. The wood screamed against the rocks. Rian jumped over the side. His boots splashed in the shallow water. He held his rifle. He held his focus. He looked for targets. The mist clung to his black gear. The salt spray covered his face. He looked for the enemy.The fusion pulse beat in my head. Rian wanted my energy. He reached for my core. He pulled. He wanted the shift. He used the bond as a straw. He wanted to become the wolf. I felt the hunger. I felt the teeth. The sensation lived in my marrow.I did not give him the fire. I closed the door. I built the wall of ice in my mind. Rian stumbled in the water. He turned his head. His eyes looked gold. The gold ring flared. He felt the loss of the link. The Alpha felt the vacuum. He stood in the surf. The waves hit his knees.The silver units stood at the gate. The units wore gray armor. The units held rifles. The units fired. The bullets hissed in the air. The lead hit the water. The water splashed.

The forest felt different now. The pines stood tall. The needles felt sharp against my skin. The world carried a weight. The fusion pulse beat in my skull. I felt Rian moving through the brush. I felt his muscles stretch. I felt the ache in his bitten arm. The sensation felt like a phantom limb. I occupied his body. He occupied mine.We moved toward the sunrise. The light looked gray. The mist hung in the valleys. Rian did not speak. He did not need speech. His thoughts arrived in my mind like stones falling into a pond. He felt the cold. He felt the hunger. He felt the need for the throne.The throne felt like a physical object in my brain. Rian saw the gold. He saw the stone. He saw the city. I felt the weight of his ambition. This ambition felt heavy. This ambition felt suffocating. I wanted to push the thought out. I wanted to find a corner of my mind for myself.The cave felt like a distant memory. The intimacy felt like a dream. I thought about the sex. I thought about the touch

Chapter: Chapter 25: The Fusion
I woke to the sound of the fire. The logs hissed. The orange light danced on the cave ceiling. The paralysis was gone. My fingers felt warm. My toes moved. The blood flowed through my veins without the sting of the bees. I felt my skin again. The cold of the stone floor pressed against my back. The heat of the flames hit my face.Rian sat by the fire. He was a shadow against the light. He held his knife. He sharpened the blade on a stone. The sound was rhythmic. Slide. Flip. Slide. He did not look at me. He knew I was awake. The bond pulsed between us. It was a low hum. It felt like a heavy wire vibrating in the wind.I sat up. My muscles felt stiff. They did not fail me. I leaned against the rock wall. I pulled the coat tight around my shoulders. The scent of woodsmoke and wolf clung to the wool. It was his scent. It filled my lungs.You are awake. Rian spoke without turning his head. The sound was a low rumble.I am awake. I said. My voice was clear. The croak was gone.How does the

The cave felt like a mouth. It was deep. It was dry. The stone walls looked like jagged teeth. Rian led me into the shadows. He moved with a limp. His bitten arm hung at his side. The blood had stopped. The skin looked purple.He dropped his pack. The sound echoed. He looked at me. He did not speak. He began to gather dry wood. He found old pine branches in the back. He found dried moss. He built a small pile.He struck his lighter. The flame flickered. It caught the moss. The orange light grew. It pushed the darkness to the corners. The heat hit my face. My skin felt tight. The river water evaporated from my clothes. I started to shake.The cold was leaving. The pain was arriving.Rian watched me. He sat on a flat stone. He pulled his boots off. He poured the water out. He set the boots near the fire. He removed his soaked shirt. He wrung the fabric. The water hissed on the hot coals.The firelight showed his body. The bruises looked like ink. The scars on his chest looked like si

The howling outside moved closer. The sound felt thick. The noise vibrated in the floorboards beneath the bed. One wolf began the call. Eleven others answered. The pack formed a circle around the stone cabin. They knew the Alpha stayed inside. They knew the Vessel stayed with him.Rian ignored the noise. He focused on my face. He gripped my shoulders. His fingers dug into my skin. The pressure felt sharp. He shook me again.Wake up. He spoke the words into my ear. His breath felt hot. His voice sounded like gravel grinding. You need to move. You need to fight. Use the bond. Reach for me.I stared at his eyes. The gold light in his pupils flared. I screamed inside my head. My throat stayed closed. My lungs pulled air in short gasps. I felt the paralysis. The weight felt like lead. My mind pushed against the stone wall of my nerves. Nothing moved. My body stayed a statue.Rian let go. He stood up. He moved to the center of the room. He looked at the dead scouts. He reached down. He

Chapter: Chapter 22: The Silent Scream
The carving on the wall terrified me.It sat in the corner. It was low on the baseboard. The fire flared. The mark flickered in sight. It was a crude circle with a slash through the middle. Someone etched it into the pale pine wood.The sap inside the groove was wet. It glistened like amber in the firelight.Someone had been here today.I lay on the rusted bed frame. I stared at the mark. My eyes burned. I needed to blink.Rian stood by the hearth. His back was to me. He had taken off his shirt. The firelight played over his bruises. They bloomed purple and black across his ribs. The bandage on his shoulder was soaked red.He stretched. The muscles coiled. He was healing. The power was knitting him back together.I lay here rotting.He turned around. He held a battered metal cup. Steam curled off the surface."Broth," he said. His voice sounded wrecked. "I found dried rations. It smells terrible. It is hot."He walked toward me. His boots were heavy on the floorboards. He did not l
