Marco was delusional. How could he have hurt me?

Or maybe I was the delusional one since all this was a figment of my imagination.

My head ached suddenly, and I had to shut my eyes at the excruciating pain.

Marco slipped his hand from my loosened grip.

“I'll get the doctor,” he muttered and hurried out of the room.

“Make it stop.” I clutched my head with both hands, my voice raw and throat burning.

Why was this happening to me?

It all slowly started coming back to me; the events that led me her

  • Secret Obsession    Chapter 38: Can I kiss you?

    THIRD PERSON POV. Marco's lips stretched into a devious smile at the possessive note in Gabriella’s voice.“Does it bother you?” Marco leaned back on the wall, the ghost of a smirk touching his face.Gabriella pressed her thighs together. She was pressed yet stubbornly holding it in to argue with him.Marco chewed on his inner cheek, watching her movement. He would've laughed if he wasn't thinking of spreading those thighs apart and burying himself between them.“I'm just wondering why you acted like I was invading your privacy when I asked to come here,” Gabriella retorted, puffing her chest out in defiance.“You are invading my privacy.”Gabriella intruded on a lot more than his privacy. Every time he's had her in his house, he'd been so tempted to keep her there and satisfy his obsession.But he knew his hunger for her was insatiable. Keeping her safe would not be enough, he'd want to possess her, in every sense of the word.Hell, he wanted to have her now!“OH,” Gabriella’s tone

  • Secret Obsession    Chapter 37: You have a lady showering naked in your house

    THIRD PERSON POV.The silence stretched longer than expected with Gabriella sitting calmly and waiting for Marco to elaborate.But he didn't.Finally, she eased a breath before asking, “You're not gonna tell me what you mean by that?” Gabriella tried and failed to wrap her head around the idea. Since she had a crucial role to play in the cause of the war, it made sense that Marco would protect her for that same reason. What Gabriella could not understand was ‘the reason’.“Principessa,” Marco ran a hand through his hair, messing up the sleek style. “Stop asking questions. And stop expecting shit from me either. I can't give it to you.”She narrowed her eyes at him, “You can't, or you won't?”The feeling of being used and not knowing why made Gabriella’s stomach uneasy.Marco smoothed his shirt, slightly wrinkled but still neat and composed. Just like Marco always is. And right now, he seemed to be running his hands down the fabric to regain that unfazed composure he usually wore.His

A sharp sting ripped through my arm as an IV tore free, warm blood trailing after it.The needle dropped on the floor with a small splatter of blood along with its drip tube.I pressed my hand over the arm to stop the blood trickling out.Where the fuck am I?The door swung op

  • Secret Obsession    Chapter 35: Why do you always leave?

    MARCO'S POV. “The name's Brian Delamonte. Nephew to Leone's Donna.”“Leone set up his own kid?” My lips set in a grim line.“Not sure,” Loud music choked Sandro's reply from the background. “Could be her mother, Sophia.”I glanced at the hallway briefly.No sign of anything amiss from my room.“Where is he?” I asked.“Partying at the bar. He's had one too many drinks so far. Blurted without his own mouth that he has a Leone princess in his room for the night.”My hands tightened on the phone. Anymore and it would break.That motherfucker!“Wait until he returns to the room, Sandro. You know what to do.”I hung up. Debating whether to stay or go deal with this Brian Delamonte.I downed my drink and set the glass on the table.I'll wait until Gabriella wakes up.“Mr Vitale?” My head snapped to Stephanie in the hallway. She stepped into the living room, her shoulders slumped with a sigh.“How is she?”“Stable,” She replied. “She was drugged with diazepam mixed with a few other mild, but

  • Secret Obsession    Chapter 34: What did they do to you, Principessa?

    MARCO'S POV. Careful not to give my men a show, I slowly lifted the sheet covering Gabriella.The tightness of my chest eased once I saw Gabriella fully clothed, still in the dress she'd worn yesterday.I exhaled shakily, the tension draining from my muscles as I tucked my gun into its holster and scooped her up.Her hands dangled on the side, and I adjusted her head to rest on my shoulder.I frowned slightly at how blacked out she was. She didn't even shift at the noise of my men kicking into the bathroom.Definitely the effect of being drugged.Sandro hurried back to my side just as I turned from the bed, an apologetic look on his face.“Completely empty, whoever brought her here is already gone,” Sandro informed.I could hear the heart pounding in my ears.Was I really too late?Has Gabriella already been violated and redressed?I couldn't conclude whatever happened from her appearance alone. Although she looked like she'd been drugged, there were no visible marks on her body.I c

  • Secret Obsession    Chapter 33: I would fucking burn this city down.

    Sophia's touch on my skin —a searing metal cuff around my wrist tugging me along— made me recoil with something heavier than hatred or disgust.Danger.It became apparent when a larger hand took mine from Sophia's, pulling me into an embrace that felt repulsive. An offensive scent that was nothing like Marco's and a hold that entirely felt too imposing for a simple meet-up like they'd said.I tried to pull away. My fingers curled weakly around his shirt but my strength gave out before I could even push.“Woah!” A new voice bit, the smell of alcohol invading my nostrils, when I crashed into him from Sophia's shove. “She's the one? Isn't she like a celebrity or something?”“Brian you're drunk,” Sophia sounded offended.“Just a couple drinks…” he slurred.Sophia huffed a harsh breath. “If anything goes wrong because you couldn't keep your hands off a bottle, I'll end you,” she hissed. Then in a much controlled tone, she commanded, “Take care of her.”I'm sure she didn't mean that in a g

    MARCO'S POV.Watching Gabriella had become a dangerous habit.Staying away from her was worse.Not claiming her? That was the hardest part.But I don't have a choice unless I plan to destroy everything I've built so far.Everything she was still oblivious to.Carter Stone side eyed me as he careful

    His presence was different, powerful and dangerous in an unpredictable way.His aura was as intense as the scent he wore, captivating and otherworldly. When he stepped into the office, the room almost held its breath.I should be annoyed that he somehow had business with the agency I was about to

    The moment I stepped out, every single one of my bodyguards bent at a sharp ninety-degree bow. The one in charge spoke when I looked confused. “We're sorry for not protecting you properly. We completely failed at our duty, punish us however you like.” It wasn't their fault. I completely acted wit

    Marco slid off his sunglasses. I guess to study my reflection properly.I was exposed.There was no use hiding now. In fact, that would only worsen my predicament.Never in my life had I thought a man like Marco could have this kind of effect on me.So ridiculous, yet so…Undeniable. Playing it s
