The next day I felt something was wrong.

The moment I stepped out of the hospital, I felt it again.

That same quiet, crawling sensation beneath my skin.

Like something unseen was watching me.

Waiting.

My grip tightened slightly around the strap of my bag as I walked toward the parking area. The evening air was cooler now, brushing against my arms, but it did nothing to ease the tension building in my chest.

I told myself it was nothing.

Just exhaustion.

Just leftover paranoia from last

  • THE MAFIA KING OBSESSION    Chapter 27

    The next day I felt something was wrong. The moment I stepped out of the hospital, I felt it again. That same quiet, crawling sensation beneath my skin. Like something unseen was watching me. Waiting. My grip tightened slightly around the strap of my bag as I walked toward the parking area. The evening air was cooler now, brushing against my arms, but it did nothing to ease the tension building in my chest. I told myself it was nothing. Just exhaustion. Just leftover paranoia from last night. But my instincts trained, sharp, and rarely wrong refused to settle. I slowed my steps slightly, eyes scanning the area without making it obvious. Cars. A few people leaving their shifts. Security guards near the entrance. Everything looked normal. Too normal. I reached my car and unlocked it quickly, sliding into the driver’s seat. The moment the door shut behind me, I let out a breath I didn’t realize I’d been holding. You’re fine. You’re just tired. I started the engine, pul

    The drive home felt longer than usual. Every red light stretched into something unbearable. Every passing car felt too close. Too slow. Too deliberate. I gripped the steering wheel tighter than necessary, my knuckles paling as I tried to focus on the road ahead. You’re overthinking. That was the logical explanation. But logic had been slipping away from me ever since Damon Mondragon stepped into my life. I exhaled slowly, glancing at the rearview mirror. Nothing. Just the faint glow of headlights from cars behind me, moving at their own pace, minding their own business. No black car. No lingering presence. And yet… The feeling wouldn’t go away. That quiet, creeping sensation crawled under my skin. Like I was being watched. I shook my head, forcing my grip on the steering wheel to relax. This is ridiculous. I’m letting him get into my head. And maybe that was exactly what Damon wanted. The thought made my stomach tighten. Because if there was one thing I was beginni

    SAMANTHA POVMorning came too quickly.I barely slept.Every time I closed my eyes, my mind replayed the same moments like a stubborn loop I couldn't shut off. The hospital hallway. Damon stood there like he owned the entire building. The dangerous calm in his eyes. Marco is stepping forward.And the look Damon gave him.I sat on the edge of my bed, elbows resting on my knees, staring blankly at the wooden floor of my apartment. The early sunlight filtered through the curtains, stretching pale gold lines across the room, but it did nothing to ease the tension still coiled tightly inside my chest.My alarm had gone off twenty minutes ago.I hadn’t moved.I dragged a hand down my face and exhaled slowly.Get it together, Samantha.You’re a doctor. Not a teenager overthinking a man.But Damon Mondragon wasn’t just a man.That was the problem.He was… something else entirely.Power clung to him like a second skin. The way people stepped aside when he walked into a room. The way even the h

    DAMON POV Night had always been my element. The city looked different after dark more honest. In daylight, people wore masks. Smiles that meant nothing. Polite conversations hiding selfish intentions. But at night, when the streets emptied and the shadows grew longer, truth had a way of surfacing. From the floor-to-ceiling windows of my penthouse, the entire city stretched beneath me like a living map of power and opportunity. Lights flickered across buildings, traffic moved like glowing veins through the streets, and somewhere out there among millions of people was Samantha Lopez. I lifted the glass of whiskey in my hand but didn’t drink. My attention remained on the skyline, my mind replaying the same moment again and again. Marco. Just the thought of his name made my jaw tighten. The way he had stepped between us earlier still lingered in my mind. Calm. Protective. As if he had the right to stand there and speak for her. My grip around the glass tightened slightly. Inte

    SAMANTHA POVThe city outside my window was alive, glittering with a thousand lights that blurred together like liquid gold. Yet inside my apartment, it felt suffocating. Every shadow seemed too close, every quiet tick of the clock amplified. Damon wasn’t here, and yet… I could still feel him. His presence lingered in my mind like smoke, thick and impossible to ignore.I sank into the armchair by the window, pulling my legs close to my chest. My fingers fidgeted with the edge of my skirt, curling and uncurling as though the motion alone could help me regain control of my scattered thoughts. Last night’s events haunted me. Every detail. Every touch. Every heat-filled glance. The intensity of him, the force of his jealousy, the way his body had been coiled like a predator ready to strike those images refused to leave my mind.I closed my eyes and tried to breathe. In… out… In… out… But even as I counted, the heat in my chest, the coil of tension low in my abdomen, refused to ease. My

    DAMON POV I should have left. The moment Samantha told me to go, I should have walked out of the hospital and forgotten the entire situation. But I didn’t. Because something about the way that man looked at her didn’t sit right with me. Dr. Marco. The name alone already irritated me. I stood inside the hospital parking structure, leaning against the hood of my car while staring at the tall building in front of me. The night air was cool, but it did nothing to calm the heat simmering beneath my skin. One of my men stood a few feet away, silently waiting. I barely noticed him. My mind was replaying the scene in the hallway. Marco stepping closer to Samantha. Marco speaking to me like I was some random guy bothering her. Marco looking at her like My jaw clenched. Like he had a right to protect her. A humorless chuckle escaped my lips. “Sir?” my bodyguard said cautiously. I didn’t look at him. “How long does her shift last?” “According to the schedule we obtained earli
