My Stepfather's Deadly Obsession He's out for blood
MIGUELI didn’t enjoy surprises. Hell, I hated them. And Salvatore was milking my uneasiness. There was a lightness to his steps, a smirk tugging at his lips that only deepened every time I tried to squeeze a hint of information out of him.“Come on, Sal,” I said, nudging him gently with my elbow. “What’s the big deal? You’ve had me guessing all morning.”“You’ll find out soon enough.” He squeezed my hand and glanced at me with a glint in his eye that only made my curiosity grow. “Just be patient, baby.”I rolled my eyes, though my heart felt lighter than it had in days. With each step further from the chancellor’s office where I expected the surprise to be, I got more confused.We entered the library through tall arched doors that creaked softly on their hinges. The cool air inside washed over me, carrying with it the scent of aged paper, leather bindings, and varnished oak. The space stretched wide and tall, the shelves climbing toward a domed ceiling painted with stars so faded th
My Stepfather's Deadly Obsession Comfort
MIGUELI screamed, and it wasn’t some casual yelp. It tore from the centre of my chest, bouncing off the high ceilings and echoing through the halls of the too-fancy Sicilian mansion. I scrambled backwards across the bed, kicking at the sheets, my heart hammering in my chest like it was trying to escape. There, just by the glass doors that opened to the balcony, was a goddamn snake. Its green scales shimmered in the soft morning light, catching it like polished jade. The bastard slithered slowly with grace as if it had lived here its entire life.Everything about the room suddenly felt claustrophobic. My breath came in fast bursts as my eyes locked on the creature that had no business being inside any building, let alone one with throw pillows that cost more than I could afford.I could hear heavy footsteps pounding up the staircase, and within seconds, the bedroom door flew open. Salvatore burst in first, wielding his gun skillfully. His eyes swept the room like a trained soldier.
My Stepfather's Deadly Obsession The enemy might be within
SALVATOREThe marble steps were cool under my footwear as I crept down. I didn’t want to wake anyone. I couldn’t risk it. The mansion was silent, the kind of quiet that wrapped around you like a shroud. Morning hadn’t even broken yet.It was best to move on time before anyone got up and began to question me.My heart thudded heavily in my chest as I moved through the dim foyer. I kept seeing the note I had left close to Miguel’s pillow playing over and over in my mind. It was just a short “I will be back soon; love you.” and now that I was already halfway to redemption, I realised that it felt too simple for what I was doing.I should have added some more information, maybe even given him a location, but then, he didn’t know anywhere here. This wasn’t just some early morning errand. I wasn’t just grabbing coffee like I told myself. I was going to meet Raphael. And if he really had what he promised, then everything was about to change. The past wasn’t buried. It was still alive, stil
My Stepfather's Deadly Obsession They will be judged
SALVATOREMy phone was cold against my ear, my voice low and heavy with the weight of all the years I’d spent mourning a soul I should have never lost.“I will be there by morning,” I said to the man on the other end. “I am ready to dig in.”A grunt answered me. I ended the call and slipped the phone into my jeans. My chest felt tight, my mind tangled in the ghosts of Sicily. This trip was not just a homecoming. It was a reckoning, a chance to face the blood and betrayal I had left buried in the soil I still called home.And I would make sure I did just that. I’d run away from this city to escape the memory, but now, I was done running. I was done trying to bury images I couldn’t shake out of my mind. Before I left the life of blood and gore, I would make sure I got back my pound of flesh.After that, Miguel and I would enjoy our happily ever after. I made my way down the stairs. The scent of jasmine from the courtyard lingered like something half-forgotten. I needed to find Miguel
My Stepfather's Deadly Obsession Between the devil and the deep blue sea
MIGUELMy heart was thudding a little too fast, and I clutched the notebook in my lap like it could hold me. Inside were all the scribbled notes I’d made about the University of Palermo, which was my first real choice since we landed. It wasn’t just any school. Founded centuries ago, it stretched across the city like a living, breathing thing, from all the images I’d seen of it. Some buildings looked like they’d been pulled out of a history book, while others gleamed with glass and steel. Over forty thousand students called it home, and that kind of crowd sounded like freedom. At least I would easily keep myself hidden.“Are you sure about this place, baby?” Salvatore asked, glancing over with one hand on the wheel and the other resting warmly on my thigh.“Yeah,” I said, trying to sound confident. “They have everything and it’s big enough that I don’t have to be anyone but me.”He smiled at that and gave my leg a quick squeeze. “Then let’s make it happen.”We pulled through a stone
My Stepfather's Deadly Obsession An ally in a strange city
MIGUELIt wasn’t the sunlight streaming through the thick curtains that pulled me from sleep. It was the sharp, insistent ring of my phone.I hated my nervousness. It was hard to think straight in this house.I jolted upright, my heart pounding as I fumbled around on the nightstand, nearly knocking over a crystal decanter in the process. Salvatore stirred beside me and mumbled something I couldn’t make out, but I was already answering the call.“Hello?” My voice was still heavy with sleep.“Miguel!” Paul’s voice burst through the line, loud and full of that familiar grin I could hear even without seeing him. “I’m at the airport, and I gotta tell you, I’m lost as hell. I have no clue where I’m supposed to go. Save me, my lord!”Relief washed over me. I found myself laughing. The tension from last night’s dinner with Salvatore’s family finally started to ease. “You are already here? Damn, Paul, maybe give me a little warning next time. Hang tight. We’ll come get you.”“Better hurry,” h
