MADELYN'S POV

The rest of dinner passed in complete silence. No one brought up Wyne again. No one asked another question. Yet... I could feel Father's eyes drifting toward me every now and then.

Not with disappointment. Not with anger like usual but.... With calculation. That look alone made me lose my appetite.

A few minutes later... Dinner ended. The servants quietly cleared the table while everyone dispersed to

    MADELYN'S POVHis words echoed through the study."It was the Morettis that pushed your grandfather to his death."For the first time since entering the room... I was genuinely speechless."...What?"Father held my gaze without wavering."You heard me.""No."I shook my head almost immediately."That's impossible.""Is it?""The Morettis have been our competitors for decades. They're ruthless. But pushing someone to their death?"I took another step toward him."...No. I don't believe that."Father's expression remained unreadable."You don't believe me?""I don't.""Why?""Because you're asking me to spy on Wyne. Because you've already admitted you want Blackgold destroyed. So how am I supposed to know this isn't another attempt to manipulate me?"

  • His Only Obsession   Chapter 22

    MADELYN'S POVThe dining table was unusually quiet. The crystal chandelier cast a warm glow over the polished mahogany table while servants silently moved around, refilling glasses and replacing empty dishes. Father sat at the head of the table.Mom was sitting beside him. Giovanni and Marlin were discussing things that happened at their workplace from time to time, exchanging updates about how Gio performed a high risk surgery and is in line for promotion... Marlin joined in saying how she won every case she took...Diago was as usual out of town for his work while Sandro quietly ate his food...I simply... Focused on my plate. Pushing vegetables around with my fork. Pretending I was interested in the food. Like them... I could brag too. I could tell them that I'd made millions this week. I could tell them I'd quietly purchased the entire building I was currently living in.I could tell them that some of the country's most influential businessmen had been waiting months just to get a

  • His Only Obsession   Chapter 21

    MADELYN'S POVI smiled to myself as Wyne disappeared into the private restroom with the sheet mask in his hand. Who would've thought... The mighty Wyne Moretti had actually listened to me.I picked up another report and had barely read two lines when my phone vibrated across the desk... I glanced at the screen. The moment I saw the caller ID... Every trace of amusement vanished from my face.Giovanni Davenport.Without a second thought, I stood up and walked toward the floor-to-ceiling window before answering."Hello?"His deep voice came through immediately."Madelyn."Just hearing his voice made my shoulders instinctively straighten."Yes... Brother?"There was a brief silence."When are you coming home?"I closed my eyes... I was supposed to visit home every weekend but since I came, I didn't visited for once.... Mom called once or twice and asked to come but I made up excuses....

    MADELYN'S POVMy whole body ached as I collapsed onto my bed after another exhausting day at work. The mattress dipped beneath my weight, and I let out a long, tired sigh while staring blankly at the ceiling.This week had passed much faster than the last. Partly because work had been relentless. Partly because... Wyne Moretti had actually behaved himself.To my surprise, he hadn't found new ways to annoy me every single day. No shameless teasing. No ridiculous comments. No invading my personal space.Nothing. We'd simply gone to work, attended meetings, exchanged a few necessary words, and returned home. Professional and Normal.Exactly what I'd wanted. So why... Why did the apartment suddenly feel so... quiet? I frowned at my own thoughts.Ridiculous. I was simply tired. That was all. Rolling onto my side, I reached for my phone on the bedside table.11:42 PM.Far too late to think about anything work-related. Just as I was about to put the phone away, the screen lit up with a notif

    WYNE'S POVI was right. The moment I stepped into Erlington Group, my instincts had started screaming. Something wasn't adding up. Officially, the man sitting across from me was the CEO.Unofficially... He didn't feel like one. After years in business, I'd learned that titles meant very little. Power wasn't announced. It was felt. People naturally gravitated toward the one who truly held authority. They watched that person's reactions. They sought approval before making decisions.They unconsciously revealed who they answered to. And throughout the entire meeting... I noticed it.Whenever an executive presented a report, their eyes would briefly flick elsewhere. Not toward the acting CEO. Toward... Madelyn.It was subtle. So subtle that anyone else would have missed it. A split second. A fleeting glance. Almost as if they were checking whether she'd approve.Interesting.The acting CEO spoke confidently, nego

    WYNE'S POV "I said what I said.. And it's true.. You're egoistic and give a 'don't care ' attitude.. Even Mr Ashford will agree if not fearing you.. 'Sir '... " I stared at her rendered speechless along with others.. And that 'sir ' at the end was not with due respect but taunt.. "Madelyn!! "

    WYNE'S POV My eyes darted across the room on the employees of the financial department who fucked up real bad.. Is this why I pay them? To mess up my company and make things difficult for me?
