Amara’s mind raced as she sat alone in her room, the weight of Leonardo’s words still pressing on her chest. Why did he care so much? Was it just about control, or something deeper? She shook her head, refusing to let herself spiral into uncertainty. Emotions were dangerous, and right now, she needed to focus.

The city lights flickered through the window, and Amara couldn’t help but feel trapped despite the luxury surrounding her. Every corner of Leonardo’s estate was crawling with his men—loyal soldiers who would sooner shoot her than question his orders. Yet, somehow, she’d managed to twist Matteo around her finger. That was her strength: making people underestimate her. Letting them think she was fragile, helpless.

A faint knock on the door snapped her out of her thoughts. She straightened, masking her anxiety with indifference.

"Who is it?" she called, her voice steady.

"It’s Matteo," came the muffled reply. "Boss wants to see you."

Her pulse quickened, but she forced a calm

  • BOUND BY OBSESSION    CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE:- SHADOWS OF SUSPICION

    Leonardo’s fists collided with Matteo’s jaw, sending him crashing into the metal railing. Blood dripped from Matteo’s split lip, but he didn’t fight back—just glared at Leonardo with a mix of defiance and hurt. “What the hell is wrong with you?” Matteo growled, wiping the blood from his mouth. Leonardo didn’t answer immediately, his breathing ragged, fury coursing through his veins. The docks had been raided. Again. Someone was feeding Dante information, and Leonardo was done playing nice. “You think I’m stupid?” Leonardo snarled, grabbing Matteo by the collar and slamming him against the wall. “Every move we make, he knows. How the hell does that happen?” Matteo grunted, his jaw set stubbornly. “You think it’s me? You think I’d betray you?” Leonardo’s grip tightened, his knuckles white. “You’re always where you shouldn’t be. Always asking questions. Always too close when things go wrong.” Matteo forced himself to laugh, though pain etched his features. “You’ve lost your mind.

  • BOUND BY OBSESSION    CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR:- A GAME OF CONTROL

    Amara paced her room, the events from the previous night replaying over and over in her mind. She couldn’t believe the audacity of Leonardo to act like he owned her, especially after she had caught him making secret deals behind Dante’s back. Yet, despite her fury, she couldn’t shake the memory of his lips on hers—the way his touch had ignited something deep inside her, something she couldn’t afford to feel. Her phone vibrated on the desk, breaking her thoughts. She snatched it up, half expecting another cryptic message, but it was a text from Matteo. *We need to talk. Meet me in the garden.* She hesitated. Matteo had been distant since their encounter at the docks, his usual guarded demeanor even more impenetrable. Taking a breath to steady herself, she made her way downstairs and out into the sprawling garden. Matteo was leaning against a stone pillar, his arms crossed and his face grim. The moment he saw her, his gaze softened—just a bit—but his tension remained. “You’re avoi

  • BOUND BY OBSESSION    CHAPTER TWENTY THREE:- FIRES OF JEALOUSY

    Amara couldn’t shake the unease settling over her as she made her way back to her room. Matteo’s warning echoed in her head, but it wasn’t just his words that haunted her—it was the way he looked at her, as if he was fighting something within himself. She didn’t want to think about it. Matteo was complicated, but she couldn’t afford to get distracted. Not when Leonardo was still watching her every move like a hawk. The mansion felt colder than usual as she stepped inside, and she paused at the entrance, listening for any signs of life. Her pulse quickened when she heard voices coming from the dining room—Leonardo’s deep timbre unmistakable. Curiosity prickling at her, she moved closer, staying hidden by the archway. Leonardo was speaking to someone she didn’t recognize—a woman, laughing softly at something he said. Amara’s stomach twisted unexpectedly. She couldn’t see the woman’s face, but her voice was sultry, confident—the kind that made Amara’s skin prickle with irritation. Sh

  • BOUND BY OBSESSION    CHAPTER TWENTY TWO:- TWISTED LOYALTIES

    Amara couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling crawling under her skin. It wasn’t just the docks or Matteo’s cryptic warning—it was something deeper, like a shadow following her every move. She sat on the windowsill of her room, staring out at the sprawling gardens below, lost in thought. A sharp knock on her door made her jolt. She turned to see Angelo, one of Leonardo’s most trusted men, standing at the doorway. His face was stoic, as always, but there was a glint of something unreadable in his eyes. “Boss wants to see you,” he said, his voice low. Amara forced herself to remain calm, nodding as she followed him down the winding corridors. Her mind raced with possibilities—had Leonardo discovered her presence at the docks? Had Matteo said something? She needed to stay composed, no matter what. They arrived at Leonardo’s private study, and Angelo opened the door, motioning for her to step inside. Leonardo stood by the window, his back turned, hands clasped behind him. Tension radiated

  • BOUND BY OBSESSION    CHAPTER TWENTY ONE:- UNSEEN SHADOWS

    The mansion was unusually quiet as Leonardo sat in his study, his eyes fixed on the flickering flames in the fireplace. The tension from the docks still clung to him like a second skin, and he couldn’t shake the feeling that he was missing something crucial. Matteo had assured him that everything was secure, but something about the entire situation gnawed at his instincts. A knock on the door pulled him from his thoughts. "Come in," he called, his voice rougher than intended. The door creaked open, and Tony stepped inside—a trusted enforcer who had been with Leonardo for years. His loyalty had never been questioned, not once. Tony was dependable, sharp, and always two steps ahead when it came to security measures. "Boss," Tony greeted with a respectful nod. "I just checked the perimeter again—everything’s clear. I doubled the guards at the north entrance, just in case." Leonardo gave a slight nod, acknowledging the effort. "Good. Did Matteo report back from his patrol?" Tony’s jaw

  • BOUND BY OBSESSION    CHAPTER TWENTY:- UNRAVELING LOYALTIES

    Amara paced her room, the cryptic text message playing over and over in her mind. She couldn’t shake the unsettling feeling it brought—someone was watching her, and they knew too much. Every creak and shadow seemed amplified, as if the walls themselves were conspiring against her. The door creaked open, and she whipped around, eyes widening as Leonardo stepped inside without knocking. His face was unreadable, but his eyes carried a storm. He didn’t say a word—just stared at her with a darkness that sent a chill down her spine. “What do you want?” she snapped, masking her fear with defiance. He didn’t answer. Instead, he moved closer, his steps unhurried but deliberate. Amara swallowed hard, refusing to give ground. When he was close enough to touch, he stopped, his gaze boring into hers. “Were you at the docks tonight again?” he demanded, his voice deceptively calm. Amara hesitated, searching for the right words. “Why do you care?” His jaw tightened, and his hand shot out, grab
