Silvano

If I thought this was going to be easy with her, then I lied to myself.

Nothing about Mirella is easy.

Not the way she looks at me like she’s trying to figure me out. Not the way she pushes back even when she’s clearly scared. And definitely not the way she’s slowly finding her way into something she doesn’t fully understand.

I shouldn’t care, I don’t want to care but the truth is, I hate the fact that I have to use her.

Out of everything I’ve built, every lead I’ve followed

  • Dark Obsession    Chapter 21

    Mirella The rest of the day feels like something out of a dream, the soft, peaceful kind. If I'm going to lose control of my life, I might as well enjoy the parts I still can. The spa is exactly what I need. The moment I step in, everything slows down. Soft music welcomes me. Calm voices. The faint scent of oils lingering in the air, and for the first time in days, my shoulders actually relax. I get my nails done first, sitting back as the lady works carefully, shaping and painting like it’s art. I watch her hands for a while before dozing off. Here’s your passage rewritten cleanly in first-person present tense, keeping your tone natural and smooth while fixing flow and consistency: I wake up to an assistant tapping me. After that comes my hair. I let them do whatever they think suits me, too tired to care about the details. By the time they’re done, I look at myself in the mirror and almost don’t recognize the girl staring back. I look elegant… like a movie star

  • Dark Obsession    Chapter 20

    Mirella The past two days felt different. Like everything that had been weighing me down just faded into the background. I stopped thinking about papa, the organization or about danger. For once, I allowed myself to just live. I went out to the park, where I sat longer than I planned, watching people pass like I was part of a normal life I didn’t belong to anymore. The movies, though I barely followed the plot, my mind drifting every few minutes, An art gallery where the painting felt like they were speaking to my soul, an auction house, just to feel the atmosphere of something familiar. Even going shopping. It felt good, like I was distracting myself on purpose. From the thought of him. Silvano. The name settles differently in my mind now. I mouth it quietly under my breath as I walk back to my room. “Silvano…” I pause slightly, my lips pressing together liking the way it sounds. I never wanted to call him that before. It was easier to keep him as just… the sta

  • Dark Obsession    Chapter 19

    Silvano Revealing things to her was never part of the plan. It wasn’t supposed to go like that. The look on her face—shock, anger, confusion all mixed together—it lingers longer than it should. I’ve seen worse reactions. I’ve caused worse. But something about hers doesn’t sit right with me. Maybe because it wasn’t calculated or because I didn’t plan for it. I made the decision to keep her out of it. Partly for her safety… partly because I don’t like things I can’t control. And she—she’s quickly becoming one of those things. I lean back against the seat, my fingers resting loosely on the steering wheel as the engine hums quietly beneath me. The SUV is parked a few streets away from the resort, far enough to stay unseen, close enough to move when needed. The windows are tinted, the kind that hides everything inside. I prefer it that way. Working from the shadows has always suited me better. Meetings, gatherings, unnecessary faces—I’ve never had the patience for any of it. Let t

    “Stop.” My voice cuts through the air sharper than I expect, and even I hear the edge in it. I turn fully to him now, my chest rising and falling a little too fast. “Stop talking in riddles,” I add, my brows pulling together. “Are you trying to scare me or something?” He doesn’t react immediately. That calm, unreadable expression stays on his face like nothing I say ever really touches him. “I don’t need to try,” he says quietly. That only makes it worse. “Then what is this?” I push, my hands tightening slightly at my sides. “You drop pieces, half-truths, warnings—what am I supposed to do with that?” For a second, he just watches me. Then he reaches into his pocket and pulls out his phone. He offers no explanation nor warning. He taps on the screen, then steps closer and holds it out to me. “Look.” I hesitate only for a second before taking it. My stomach drops. It’s a picture of papa. There’s no mistaking him. He’s standing with a group of men, all dress

  • Dark Obsession    Chapter 17

    Mirella For a while, neither of us says anything. I sit there, the soft glow from the lights reflecting off the table, the sound of the ocean brushing against the yacht in slow, steady rhythms. It should feel peaceful. It should feel like one of those quiet, expensive dinners people dream about but it doesn’t. The silence is heavy. I pick up my fork, my fingers steady even though everything inside me feels anything but. I take a small bite, barely tasting it. My focus isn’t on the food. It’s on him. I can feel his gaze without even looking up. He's watching, studying me. It makes me hyper-aware of everything. The way I sit, the way I move, the way my hand lifts slightly before placing the fork back down. Even my breathing feels too loud in the quiet. I glance up. He’s not even eating he'd just watching me. My brows pull together slightly. “Are you going to keep staring at me like that, or are you actually going to eat?” A faint smile touches his lips. “I am eating,” he

    I don’t move. For a second, I can’t. My heart is pounding too loud, fast, like it’s trying to warn me, but my body doesn’t listen. That voice… it settles under my skin in a way that makes it impossible to ignore. “So impatient, princess…" I turn immediately, and there he is. Not a shadow. Not a voice behind a screen. Not a presence I can only feel. Him. For a brief second, everything else fades—the sound of the waves, the soft sway of the yacht, even the air around me. My eyes lock on him like I’ve been waiting for this moment without realizing it. He stands a few steps away, like he’s been there the whole time, like this was always how it was meant to unfold. There’s something effortlessly controlled about him, the way he carries himself, like nothing ever truly shakes him. My gaze moves over him before I can stop it. Dark clothes, simple but fitting him in a way that makes it look intentional. His sleeves are rolled just enough to expose his forearms, veins faintly v
