Sophia’s POV

Don Pedro's Villa:

I threw the glass across the room, where it shattered against the wall. My chest rose and fell in the glare I wielded at the splintered slivers glistening on the marble floor. The pricey wine ran down the wallpaper, the stains like blood.

This was not how this was supposed to go.

My fists balled up as rage ignited within me. Diego ought to have been dead by now. Dominic was meant to be mine. Instead, it all had fallen apart. Diego was living and breathing and Dominic was running through my fingers like sand.

The air was too thick while I stomped around the room, heels tapping angrily after each step. The servants hurried off, heads lowered, afraid to look me in the eye. Let them be afraid. They should be. I wasn’t in the mood to put up with weakness.

I swung open the heavy wooden doors and strutted down the long hall toward my father’s office. The guards on either side of the door snapped upright as I neared. I pushed the door open and marched inside wi

  • The Deadly Obsession   Chapter 85

    Dominic’s POVThe applause was thunderous. Flashbulbs popped like firecrackers, ricocheting off the immaculate blue-and-white campaign banners, which shrieked, "Reclaim Lazio with Donovan Marchetti!"The governor stood at the podium, his hands raised as if to preach to a cathedral, as the cheers from the crowd enveloped him.“Together,” he said into the mic, his voice all rich, trained and buffed, “we’re going to bring dignity, power and family values back to this great nation!”They ate it up. As usual. How could people be so dumb? Maybe, if I ever wanted to retire, I would take the politician line to retire. All I had to do was keep wearing nice suits and practice my lies every day for three hours maximum.I watched the middle-aged suburban couples waving small flags, the camera crews on platforms, and staffers buzzing with pride. Kids were on the shoulders of their parents or relatives. There were also the boomers clutching campaign merchandise. Some even had tears in their eyes.I

  • The Deadly Obsession   Chapter 84

    Dominic's POVI glanced down and exhaled slowly. I instinctively turned to where the sound came from and noticed the ink pooling on my skin.I had pressed the pen too hard, and it snapped in half. I picked up the napkin on the table and wiped the ink off my skin until it was nearly clean.I dropped the napkin on the table and lifted my head to meet Donovan's gaze. He blinked.“My apologies,” I said calmly, and shifted the broken pen into a small transparent plastic container.“Where were we?” I asked, ready to get to the point of discussion.“Was that to intimidate me?” Donovan asked, smirking.I leaned forward, looking confused for a second because of his words. “Intimidate you? Wju would I do that?” I asked.Donovan kept his smug look and I paid attention to his body language. “Or are you intimidated?” I asked, but this time with a much sinister tone.He met my gaze. It was like we were in a staring contest and I was winning. He soon looked to his hands and back at me. “I know how t

  • The Deadly Obsession   Chapter 83

    Dominic's POVThe bed was cold.I rolled over to the sides, feeling the sheets with my hand. That wasn't right. I should have felt warmth, not the cold sheets.I hoped that I was dreaming when I opened my eyes, but I was awake. She wasn't there.The pillow still has her sweet scent, and I sniffed it silently. I was hooked.I sat up, and the blanket fell down my waist. The room was too quiet. I missed her presence. Especially her warm blush on her cheeks and giggle.I got out of bed and felt the cold hit my skin. It was nice, and I let my feet touch the floor. My hands unconsciously massaged my neck, and I headed to the bathroom for a nice warm bath.Alessia was probably with Ella and the twins.The warm bath was out of the option because I hated it. Alessia had a likeness to having hot water with the same heat that could boil a chicken alive.I settled for the cold shower and washed up. When I got out of the bathroom, I had a towel fastened around my waist and entered the empty room.

  • The Deadly Obsession   Chapter 82

    Alessia's POVThe taxi parked a few streets over to the location. I walked to the last block with my head down, moving like an outcast.I got the shock of my life when I stopped at the entrance of Via delle Vigne. It looked empty and abandoned. The gates were rusted and everything screamed “you could get killed anytime and no one would notice.”I started to reconsider. “Maybe, coming here was a bad idea. I should head back,” I murmured.But I didn't. I kept walking like I had a dead wish.I stepped into the courtyard, scanning every corner. It was also empty and quiet.I gave up. “This was a stupid joke,” I mumbled but then light footsteps echoed behind me.I stood still, scared and prepared myself to run as fast as I could if things went south.I whirled around, my fists up ready to punch with my heart slamming.And then the figure stepped into the light. I punched hard.The figure fell and cried. “Holy hell. You almost broke my nose.”“Sophia?” I spoke, surprised. What was she doin

  • The Deadly Obsession   Chapter 81

    Alessia's POVHe waited no longer and kissed me passionately. His hands held tightly onto my waist, pulling me closer still.I gasped softly as his hands grasped my behind and slipped under my dress.My hands repaid in kind by sliding into his soft hair.How I loved how he kissed me—he wasn’t half-starved and I wasn't the only thing keeping him alive. His fingers trailed down my spine agonisingly slow, under the silk, revealing me inch by inch as if he wanted to memorise the skin.I grabbed his shirt, yanked it off quickly, pushed him back until his knees hit the bed behind him.He sat there breathless, but hesitated.Was he holding part of himself back?“I don’t want to take advantage when you’re like this,” he muttered from his thighs, his hands flexing.“You’re not.” I sat on his lap, I centered myself over his leg, I ground against his cock, and I touched every sexy part of his body that I knew would drive him insane. “You’re just what I need right now. Enough of the gabbing, take

  • The Deadly Obsession   Chapter 80

    Alessia's POVI didn’t remember sending the message.I just remembered the feeling—the way my fingers shook over the keyboard, the way rage clawed up my throat like a living thing trying to escape.“Okay. But let’s make it in my free time. I’ll meet you there in three days.”My thumb hesitated, breathing fast, my heart pounding so loud it filled my ears.I pressed the send button.The reply came seconds later.“Fine. But come alone.”A sick laugh bubbled up in my chest. Of course.I closed the laptop abruptly and rammed it on the bedside table. I was quaking with rage, my fists balled such that my nails gouged the palms of my hands. The need to scream, to destroy something, rode me hard. But I didn’t. I couldn’t afford to slip.Not yet. I wondered if I should tell Dominic.“No, he doesn't need to know yet,” I reasoned. “But what if he could help me find out who it was?”I wiped my face, forcing myself to stand, to move, to act normal.“What if it's a trap? Wouldn't that be working int

  • The Deadly Obsession   Chapter 79

    Alessia’s POVI don’t know how long we stayed like that, but I didn't want to break it up.My lips fought for entrance and I became desperate. His touch aroused me. I wanted him badly.The IV line tugged at my skin and pulled me back from my desire. “Ouch,” I groaned and looked down at my arm.“Easy,” he said.I didn't want it easy and I kissed him back. This time I was more hungry than the first.Dominic drew back slightly, just enough to catch my face in his glance. His thumb swept over my jaw so gently I thought he was committing the shape of me to memory.“Are you okay?” his low deep voice spoke.“No, I am not okay. I want you. Goddamn it. Can't you tell. Do I have to say everything,” I hurled in my mind. Yet, I kept shut and nodded lightly.What in the world was wrong with me? I resented how much I was inclined to lean in once more. He had wormed his warm fingers into me, and I loved it.“Yes,” I answered, a little softer than I had meant.He remained in that spot.Instead, he st

  • The Deadly Obsession   Chapter 78

    Alessia's POV:My eyelids slowly opened to the blinding light.I scanned the room tiredly and a soft groan escaped my lips. That's when I felt a warm hand on my forehead.I traced the warmth and saw Dominic right beside me. I hadn't noticed him before.“Wh…” I started, but he butted in.“Don't move,” he said in a low gentle voice.“What happened?” I asked, barely hearing myself.“You fell halfway down the stairs, but I caught you,” he answered.“Oh,” I groaned and tried to sit up, but a sharp tug at my lower arm made me hiss. I looked down and saw the IV line shaking into my vein.“Ugh, I hate drugs,” I muttered and moved my hand to yank at the tape holding it down.Dominic caught my hand before I could rip it out and chuckled gently. Was he laughing at me?“What's funny?” I asked.“You look so cute, but you can't. It's the doctor's orders. You were stressed.”The last word left his lips with a worried look on his face.“You think?” I asked, making it all worse, then changed my tone.

  • The Deadly Obsession   Chapter 77

    Sophia's POVThe last words ran in my ear like thunder. The door closed and I let out the breath I was holding.That's when I felt it. “Ow,” I groaned and raised my dress up to my thighs. There was a bruise forming on my lap and a small cut on my ankle.It must have happened when I fell.“Great, that's going to leave a scar,” I blabbered. “Just my lucky day.”I needed to get it clean, or it would be infected. It took forever because my father had made all the maids stop working for me until further notice. They didn't disrespect me, though.They couldn't. I would rip their tongues out if they dared.Walking to the drawer didn't hurt until I made a wrong step. “Shit!” I hissed. That was more from anger than the pain.I got the first aid out, applied it while I bit my bottom lip and threw everything on the table in front of me.“I didn't plan for this shit,” I complained.My eyes moved to the bed, and I started walking toward it. My leg hurt a little, so I sat on the soft foam.If it wa
