Vincenzo's POV

I woke up on day six with my mind already made up. I was done lying in this bed like I was helpless.

My body still hurt everywhere, but I wasn't going to let that stop me from pushing forward anymore.

Francesca showed up early, before the sun was even all the way up outside. She walked in like she owned the place, dropping her bag on the chair without a word to anyone in the room.

"Get up," she said. "We're starting today."

  • DEADLY FACADE: I Became His Obsession    Day Six

    Vincenzo's POVI woke up on day six with my mind already made up. I was done lying in this bed like I was helpless. My body still hurt everywhere, but I wasn't going to let that stop me from pushing forward anymore.Francesca showed up early, before the sun was even all the way up outside. She walked in like she owned the place, dropping her bag on the chair without a word to anyone in the room."Get up," she said. "We're starting today."Lenny stood in the doorway with her arms crossed, watching Francesca pull the blanket off me without asking. I could see the worry already building up in her face before anything even happened.Francesca didn't care; she grabbed my arm and pulled me forward, making me swing my legs over the edge of the bed. Pain shot through my side right away, and I gritted my teeth through it, refusing to make a sound."You remember this," Francesca said, pushing my knee up toward my ch

  • DEADLY FACADE: I Became His Obsession    Two Weeks

    Lenny's POVI sat on the edge of the bed watching Vincenzo sleep, and my nerves were still raw from the last few days. Every sound in the safe house made me jump—the pipes, the wind hitting the windows, even the fridge kicking on in the kitchen. I hadn't slept right in days because I kept waiting for something bad to happen. Watching him fight through the pain this whole week had worn me down more than I wanted to admit.Then I heard a knock at the main door. My whole body went still.I heard Bressi's voice, and then footsteps coming down the hallway. They were slow and even, not rushed like Bressi's usual walk. I knew that pace right away. It was Giovanni.My heart started pounding hard in my chest. Giovanni didn't just stop by for no reason. If he was here in person, something was happening.Bressi knocked twice on our bedroom door before opening it, and Giovanni walked in right behind him, still wearin

  • DEADLY FACADE: I Became His Obsession    Giovanni's Return

    Lenny's PovGiovanni came back on the fifth day.I heard the knock and then Bressi's voice at the door, then footsteps coming down the hallway, and I already knew from the pace of them that it was not just a check-in. Bressi knocked twice on the room door before opening it, and Giovanni came in behind him, with his coat still on, which meant he had not been here long and was not planning to stay long either.He looked at Vincenzo sitting up against the pillows, which was new from the last visit, and something moved across his face that was close to relief before it settled back into the same composed expression he always wore."You look better," Giovanni said."I feel better," Vincenzo said. "What happened?"Giovanni pulled the chair close and sat down, and I stayed where I was near the window with my arms folded because I was not going anywhere and he had stopped trying to suggest otherwise after the firs

  • DEADLY FACADE: I Became His Obsession    Sitting Up

    Vincenzo's Pov Day four and I was done lying flat. I had made my peace with the first three days because I had no real choice about them; my body had simply refused to cooperate, and arguing with it would have cost me more than it was worth. But day four felt different. I woke up with more clarity than I had since the warehouse, and the ceiling above me had officially become the most boring thing I had ever stared at, and I decided I was sitting up. Lenny came in with breakfast and found me already working at it, one hand braced against the wall and the other pressed flat on the mattress, pushing myself up slowly. "What are you doing?" she said, setting the plate down fast. "Sitting up," I said. "The doctor said…" "I know what the doctor said," I said, not stopping. "Vincenzo." "Lenny." She stood there for a second, her arms crossed, watching me with that look she had where she was deciding whether to argue harder or let me find out the hard way on my own. She

  • DEADLY FACADE: I Became His Obsession    Quiet Moments

    Lenny's Pov Vincenzo had gone quiet since Giovanni left. Not the comfortable kind of quiet we had settled into over the past few days; this was different, heavier, the kind that sat in the room and made the space feel smaller than it actually was. I noticed it the morning after Giovanni's visit, and by the second day I had stopped waiting for it to lift on its own. I understood it. He had things to work through, and working through them out loud had never been his way; I knew that about him by now, so I did not push. I just kept moving and let him have the silence he needed. There was enough to keep me busy anyway. I made food three times a day, nothing complicated, whatever Bressi had stocked the house with, and I brought it in on a plate and set it down without ceremony. The first morning I made eggs and toast, he looked at the plate and then looked at me and said nothing. He just ate, and that was the pattern we fell into after that. I brought it, he ate it, neither

  • DEADLY FACADE: I Became His Obsession    The Evidence

    Vincenzo's PovGiovanni pulled a folder from the bag he had brought in with him and set it on the bed next to me without any introduction."Everything I've been able to gather since you first came to me," he said. "I want you to go through it."I reached for it, and the movement pulled at my side enough that I had to breathe through it slowly before I could actually open the folder. Giovanni watched me do it without offering to help, and I was glad for that; I did not want to be helped with something I could still do myself even if it cost me a little more than it should have.Inside was more than I expected."How long have you been collecting this?" I said, looking at the first page."Since the night you sat across from me and told me you thought Dante was the rat," Giovanni said. "I did not want to believe you right away, you know that, but I also did not dismiss it, and I started paying atte

    Lenny’s POVGradually, the darkness that had swallowed me finally began to spit me out, taking off its tendrils as I heard sounds muddled in my ear.
