He’s been avoiding my calls for a week.

Seven days.

Twenty-one missed calls.

Three text messages I deleted before sending.

Two I didn’t. No reply.

I keep telling myself maybe he’s just busy. Maybe there’s a family emergency. Maybe he lost his phone or dropped it in a sewer or is out of the country or... I don’t know, anything but the actual truth clawing its way up my throat.

You don’t just forget to call someone for seven days unless you’re trying not to.

And I think I knew the truth by day three.

I just didn’t want to face it.

He slept with me... and regretted it.

He used me or worse, he didn’t even think it was using. Maybe it was just a night to him. A mistake. A checkmark on a list. And the second it was over, so was I.

And that’s what keeps replaying in my head as I stand here at the edge of the dining room in my spotless uniform, holding a tray of lentil tartlets with edible flowers, pretending like I’m fine. Like I didn’t cry in the locker r

what happened with Maddie why doesn't he go back to her and doesn't even call her? It"s not her fault his brother is missing.

Now what did he go and do that for?? Hope he is not going to blame it on Maddie. She was doing so well with serving.

  • I Saved the Mafia Boss—Now I'm His Obsession.    Chapter 108 - Baby, I’m scared

    Madeleine 𓎢𓎠𑄻𑄾𓎠𓎡 I couldn’t feel my fingers anymore. The tie binding my wrists was so tight. My shoulders ached from the angle. My ankles were locked in the spreader bar, knees bent, legs wide. My nipples throbbed under the clamps, the rope burned into my skin. My throat burned from the gag. I didn’t even hear him move until the blindfold was ripped off. Harsh light spilled into my vision, and I blinked fast, gasping behind the gag. I turned my head, facing the mirror and now I saw myself in it. Naked, tied, red marks up my thighs, my stomach, my back. Clamps glinting silver under the overhead light. Rope wound around my breasts so tight they were bulging. I looked like something out of a nightmare, destroyed and displayed. He stood behind me, fully dressed, dark shirt, open collar, sleeves rolled to the elbows. His chest rising, lips parted, hair wild. Then his hand went to my throat and squeezed. My mouth opened around the gag. He watched me go glassy-eyed in the mi

  • I Saved the Mafia Boss—Now I'm His Obsession.    Chapter 107 - In me.

    Madeleine 𓎢𓎠𑄻𑄾𓎠𓎡 He hadn't hurt me yet. But he could. And that terrified me. He spread my thighs, and pushed my knees apart with his own. The anticipation coiled so tight inside me, it hurt. And I didn’t know if it was dread or desire. The line between the two blurred so easily with him. My hands were already tingling from how tight the tie was, but I didn’t say anything. “You gonna take what I give you like a good girl?” I nodded, just once, and felt the sharp sting of his palm against my ass immediately after. “Words...” “Yes…” I whispered, voice trembling. “Yes, I’ll be good.” My body wanted him. God, it did. Even now, strung tight with fear, I felt myself getting wet and aching. He left me like that, bound, face down on the bed. I heard his footsteps move across the room, then the closet door open. Then he returned with something heavy. A sleek black briefcase. I’d had enough of this on my honeymoon. I wasn’t some wide-eyed innocent anymore, not after everyt

  • I Saved the Mafia Boss—Now I'm His Obsession.    Chapter 106 - A wolf catching the scent of fear

    Madeleine 𓎢𓎠𑄻𑄾𓎠𓎡 By the time I made it back to the estate, the sun was starting to dip low, too beautiful for how ugly I felt inside. My legs ached from walking. My chest was still tight with the weight of what I’d just seen, what I’d just learned. I found Alessia in the kitchen, sleeves rolled up, hair twisted up, calmly chopping herbs on a wooden board like nothing was wrong in the world. The scent of fresh basil and garlic hung in the air, but it didn’t reach me. I stood there, frozen. My brain wouldn’t shut up. Did she know? Did Alessia know what Adriano really was? Did she know his other self, not the charming, funny face he wore around the family, not the polished businessman everyone respected but the version buried underneath it all? The one that was darker, colder… violent? Did she know he was violent? Did she know what he’d done? That he hunted down my ex, the one who cheated on me, who put his hands on me when I tried to break up with him and beat him. He

  • I Saved the Mafia Boss—Now I'm His Obsession.    Chapter 105 - A tattoo. A black snake...

    Madeleine 𓎢𓎠𑄻𑄾𓎠𓎡I sat in the backseat, curled up small, like I was trying to disappear into myself.The bottle of pills was digging into my palm. I hadn’t let go of it since the pharmacy. The label still said my name, and nothing made sense.My chin started to tremble. I pressed it down with my teeth, clenched so tight it ached. I didn’t want to cry. I just wanted to understand.Why would he lie?Why lie about something so... small? So personal?About the restaurant. About the company card. Whatever was on his tablet, the one he locked so fast I barely saw the screen.And that file about controlled substances and hospitals?And now this?My birth control?Why would anyone fake something like that?Who replaces your medication and doesn’t say a word? Who looks you in the eye, and lies to your face?And why?What would he even get out of it?Was it just about control?You don’t accidentally lie like that.You don’t accidentally lie like that.That kind of lie... it's something

  • I Saved the Mafia Boss—Now I'm His Obsession.    Chapter 104 - You married the shots

    Madeleine 𓎢𓎠𑄻𑄾𓎠𓎡“I just need to swing by the restaurant,” he said, eyes glued to the tablet, “Pick up a few files, then I’ll drop you off at your interview. You want me to stay?”His tone was distracted, like he was only half in the car with me, the other half buried in whatever the hell was on that screen.I smiled like everything was fine, like my heart wasn’t already tilting sideways, “No, it’s okay. I’ll be fine. I’ll hang out with Tom in the kitchen while you grab your stuff.”He gave a vague nod and I just scooted closer like a girl who didn’t know better. I looped my arms around his, laid my head on his shoulder, soft and warm and sweet like I always was, and peeked at the tablet in his hands, pretending it was no big deal.He locked the screen so fast, you’d think it was porn.Then he set it down without a word.Something behind my ribs twisted a little, it was not anger, not even hurt, just that weird quiet ache of knowing someone you love is closing doors behind your

  • I Saved the Mafia Boss—Now I'm His Obsession.    Chapter 103 - Make it ugly

    Adriano ⫘☠︎︎⫘“You need to tell her the truth, Adriano,” Alessia said quietly, “This can’t go on forever, she’s not stupid. She’s already starting to feel it.”Her voice barely made it through the weight in my chest. I didn’t answer, just exhaled slow through my nose, like that would calm the fury boiling under my skin.Vincenzo let out a dry laugh from the leather armchair, legs spread wide, gun on the table, “Told you from the beginning to marry the girl, lock it down. Now she’s yours. What’s she gonna do? Run? You think we wouldn’t find her? You think she’d make it past the driveway?”Alessia crossed her arms, glaring at Vincenzo, “And what happens when she does? When she puts it all together, what this family really is? What you’ve dragged her into?”Vincenzo cracked his neck and smiled like a wolf. “Then it’s too late. She’s already wearing the ring.”I knew Maddie. I knew her heart, her soft fear, her blind trust. And I’d wrapped myself in all of it, I let her fall so deep she
