Hidden Obsessions CHAPTER SEVENTY-TWO
LEO DRACO’S POVI have found her.Joy stirred through my body as I stared at the papers in my hands. I was already sure that she was mine but this made it so much more real.Mellisa Rafe is my daughter.I reached into my pocket and brought out a small picture, one that I have kept close to my heart for more than twenty years.“My dear Ava.” Tears ran down my face as I stared at the face of the only woman, my heart had ever longed for. “I lost you, but the universe… they have given me our daughter. I have found our child.”“Father.”I looked up to see my son, Kade, standing at the top the stairs with a worried expression on his face.“Are you crying?” He rushed to me. “Are you hurting again? Should I call the doctor?”My Kade. The only joy I have had in all the years of having to endure the pains of being in the Mafia. It was a life I was forced into because of my family history and I have never had an actual interest for it.I had wished to exempt him from the life, but my son had e
Hidden Obsessions CHAPTER SEVENTY-ONE
THIRD PERSON POVTHE KILLERThe air in the small room was dense and filled with smoke from a lit cigarette. A small record player was playing slow melodies from the 90’s era, as rain droplets splashed on the window. The lighting was dim but that was not a problem.He was used to the dark. That was where his ideas came to life, like a flickering fire, lightening up the darkness in him. He smiled at the burning candle on the table, casually running his leather covered fingers through the flames. Oh, how he loved the flames. It excited him how something so beautiful, could be so dangerous. He picked up the candle and walked closer to the left corner of the room.It was his favorite part of the room, because it had pictures of her.His precious.Pictures of Mel in different locations covered the wall. Watching her every move was exhilarating to him. Like a predator, stalking its prey and waiting for the perfect time to… attack.The sound of the ringtone cut through the silence in the ro

RIO POV“Are you feeling better, Olga?” I sat her on a chair and placed the cup of tea she had been brewing in front of her. “Yes, thank you.” She murmured and took a sip from the cup. “What is happening?”“Are you certain that man is your grandson? You were pretty far from the window to have been able to have seen him clearly.”“My eye sight might be getting worse with age, but I know my boy, when I see him. What I don’t understand is why he tried to attack your brother?” Her face suddenly paled. “Are you bad people? Please don’t hurt me.”“No, Olga.” I appealed to her. “I promise that we are not going to harm you or your boy. We just wanted to talk to Pierre about a few things, that’s all.”“Just talk?” She asked.“Yes, just talk. In fact,” I squatted down in front of her. “Maybe you know something that could help us understand why your boy decided to run.”“I don’t think I do.”“Well, has Pierre been moving around with some shady characters?”“No, my boy is a good boy. He is alw
Hidden Obsessions CHAPTER SIXTY- NINE
RIO POV“You know that you almost made your poor wife piss her pants.” Dante said out of the blue, breaking the silence, I had been enjoying since we drove out of the estate. “Poor girl almost broke down crying.”If crying would knock some sense into her, then so be it.I have a potential sex-trafficker that may or may not be involved in my mother’s death to think about, instead of worrying about Mel.What was she worked up about? I wondered. It’s just a damn blood test.“Also, if you are not going to the office, why am I driving you?” Dante asked“Would you have willingly driven me to the company, for no reason?”“Maybe you are also worried about being out on your own? And who better than your big brother, to protect you?”I scoffed at the sheer absurdity of what he had said and he smirked. “Seriously, Dante. Fuck you.” I gave him the middle finger.“Yeah, yeah.” He said, still grinning.The marker on the GPS beeped, signaling a turn off the highway. Following it, Dante turned into
Hidden Obsessions CHAPTER SIXTY- EIGHT
MEL POVI stood, even after the doors slammed shut, frozen in Nonna’s arms. This is the first time I have actually felt scared of Rio. Like actual fear.“You know he didn’t mean to be harsh.” Nonna murmured softly. “He just wants to make sure that you are safe.”Safe? I wasn’t even sure if I was safe in this home anymore.“Mel.” Nonna nudged me. “You have to listen to him.”I turned to her, fury blazing in my eyes. “I can’t stay locked up here for good, Nonna.”“It’s not for good.” She said. “Mel, think of all the pressure you will be putting him under if he has to constantly worry about you. He loves you.”I felt exploding when she said that, because I was getting sick of this stupid lie. Rio doesn’t love me, he just wants a fuck buddy.“This just sucks.” I grumbled and collapsed on the chair.“I know. But at least your color is back.” She tugged my cheeks. “You don’t look as pale as you did last night. You gave me a fright.”“I am sorry.” I murmured.“About what?” Nonna sat beside m
Hidden Obsessions CHAPTER SIXTY- SEVEN
MEL POVI don’t think I have slept so soundly before in my entire life.No nightmares. No headaches. Nothing at all.I could barely even remember what had happened yesterday. Well apart from the part where I found out my mother was abused in her loveless marriage and that I was the love child between her and a mafia lord.I couldn’t never forget that even if tried.“Halo.” Dante opens the room’s door and peeks his head in. “Decent enough in there?”“Hey, you have to knock first.” I yell at him. “I could have been naked in here.”“Rio would have liked that.” He enters and lies on the bed immediately. “I was sent to check if you were still sleeping as you were a no show for breakfast.”“I just woke up.”That is a lie, because I had woken up just in time for breakfast but eventually decided against it. I was not ready to stomach pitying remarks and looks from anyone at the moment.Maybe that’s why Nonna sent Dante, because his sarcasm was definitely more appreciated.“Are you feeling goo
Hidden Obsessions CHAPTER SIXTY- SIX
RIO POV“She is finally sleeping.” Nonna walks into the living room where the rest of the family had gathered looking distressed. “The poor girl is in so much pain. I had to give her some sleeping pills just to calm her down.”Mel had cried all the way back to the estate, that I had actually considered calling a doctor, but Nonna had offered to take care of her, while I reported the situation to my family.“Is she going to be alright?” Nick asks. “She did not look fine.”“She will be alright, my love.” Nonna pats his hair to comfort him. “She just has to come to terms with the new situation.”“Am I the only still confused here?” Dante suddenly blurts. “Because this all sounds like a badly written telenovela.”“Dante, this is not the time for jokes.” Nonna scolds him.“But I am not joking, Nonna.” He turns to me. “You are telling me, that Leo Draco showed up at your office with claims of your wife, possibly being the product of a love affair he had years ago, and simultaneously, your w
Hidden Obsessions CHAPTER SIXTY- FIVE
RIO POVI walk Signor Leo to the elevator. “Have a good day sir.” I say when the doors open.“Thank you.” He answers, but holds my hands before I can turn away. “I know it is hard to believe, but I am serious. If you can just let me talk to her, I am even willingly to take a DNA test to prove.”I am still having a hard time believing what he had told me earlier in the office so I just nod. “Don’t worry, Signor. I will reach out to you.”“Thank you.” He finally let’s go of my hands and walks into the elevator. I remain rooted to the ground even after the doors close.‘I believe your wife is my daughter.’Those were the words that Leo Draco had said that had left me dumbfounded. His reason for thinking so were equally absurd. A striking resemblance to his lost lover. “The man’s old age must be getting to him.” I conclude.But he seemed so certain.I glance to the clock on the hall way. Its 2pm. Almost closing hours, I still haven’t the chance to reach Mel. She should be home by now tho
Hidden Obsessions CHAPTER SIXTY-FOUR
MEL POV“So, my mother was cheating on her husband?”“I am not trying to justify her actions.” Sister Mary murmurs. “But she was young and naïve. First getting married for money and then falling for the first man who showed some kindness after years of abuse from her marriage. The world dealt her a hard blow.”“Still, she made her choice.” I recall Mrs. Park remarks. If this dumb Ava was my mother, then I am nothing like her. Not really.“Yes, she did.” Sister nods, solemnly. “Anyways after that day, she moved into one of the spare rooms in the church, waiting for the love of her life.”“He didn’t come back, did he? My real father?”“No. I had feared that was going to happen. That he had completely fooled her and taken advantage of her innocence. She would write letters to the address that he gave her but no response. Days turned into weeks turned into months but poor Ava still held faith that he will come for her. She held that faith even after she gave birth to you.” Sister Mary smi
