“Open the door.”

“No.”

“You’re not seriously refusing to let me in my own room,” Adriano’s voice came from the other side, calm but edged with something dangerous.

“I am,” I replied, arms crossed even though he couldn’t see me. “And I will continue to refuse.”

“You’re still angry.”

I laughed dryly. “You think?”

“I let you go to class.”

“You didn’t let me do anything,” I snapped. “You sent armed guards to follow me like I’m some kind of criminal.”

“You’re not a criminal.”

  • The Devil's Favourite Obsession    The War Around Me

    (Melissa pov)The ride home was silent but not peaceful, It was a suffocating living silence that wrapped around my throat and squeezed, every breath felt stolen. The city lights blurred past the tinted windows like dying stars, but nothing outside could touch the storm raging inside this car.I sat beside Adriano, close enough to feel the heat radiating from his body, yet miles away in the weight of everything unsaid. He wasn’t on his phone. He wasn’t barking orders at Luca. He simply sat there still as death, his powerful frame coiled with a tension so sharp it vibrated in the air between us.And that terrified me more than his rage ever had. Because when Adriano went quiet like this, it meant the violence brewing inside him was calculating, Planning, preparing to destroy.The black wolf tattoo, the moment Luca had spoken those words, the entire room had iced over, Guards shifted uneasily. Air grew thick with dread. But Adriano—God, Adriano transformed. His eyes turned lethal, a gla

  • The Devil's Favourite Obsession    Mine To Protect

    (Adriano pov)“Say that again.”The guard’s voice shook slightly through the phone.“Someone followed Miss Melissa into the restroom after class, boss.”Silence filled the office instantly, deadly silence, the kind that made grown men nervous, the kind that came before violence.I slowly placed the glass in my hand onto the table beside me, my jaw tightening while Luca, who had been speaking moments ago about shipment routes, immediately stopped talking the second he saw my expression change.“What happened to him?” I asked quietly.“We couldn’t catch him,” the guard admitted carefully. “She fought back before we got there.”That made something dark twist inside my chest immediately, fear, anger and relief all at once.“Is she hurt?”“No, boss.”I closed my eyes briefly, thank God, but relief lasted only a second before rage replaced it completely.“You lost a man inside a university building,” I said softly.The guard swallowed hard on the other end.“He disappeared before we reached

  • The Devil's Favourite Obsession    The Most Dangerous Thing

    (Melissa pov)The most dangerous thing about Adriano Rossi was not his reputation, not the fear people carried when they heard his name or even the whispers about blood, violence, power, or death, It was how easily he made darkness feel safe.And somewhere along the way, without realizing it, I had fallen in love with him, that realization hit me the next morning while I was standing in front of the mirror wearing one of his black shirts because all my clothes had mysteriously disappeared from my old room and somehow ended up folded neatly inside his now our room.The thought alone should have terrified me, Instead, it made warmth spread quietly through my chest, which was insane, completely insane, I stared at myself in the mirror for several long seconds, trying to deny it, trying to tell myself this was temporary, emotional confusion, attachment caused by proximity and danger, but deep down I already knew the truth.I loved him, even knowing what he was, even knowing what kind of w

  • The Devil's Favourite Obsession    Small Things That Feel Like Everything

    (Melissa pov)I heard the shower running before I reached his room a steady, heavy rush of water that felt too deliberate tonight, like he was trying to scrub away something darker than dirt or blood.I stood outside the door, heart hammering, I told myself I was only checking on him. That was all, but the lie tasted bitter, but I was worried deeply, and that worry had twisted into something hotter, more dangerous, the longer I stood there listening to the water pound against marble.I knocked once, no answer, I pushed the door open, Steam rolled out like smoke, thick and warm, wrapping around me instantly. Adriano stood under the spray, back partially turned, water cascading down the hard lines of his shoulders and back. The moment he sensed me, he turned his head. Dark eyes locked on mine through the glass.Surprise flickered across his face, real raw surprise, before it melted into something far more intense.“What are you doing here?” His voice was low, roughened by exhaustion and

  • The Devil's Favourite Obsession    The Men Who Talk in Fear

    (Adraino pov)The basement smelled of old blood, stale sweat, and the metallic tang of terror that had soaked into the concrete over decades. It was a stench that never truly left, no matter how many times the floors were hosed down. This place remembered every man who had broken here. It carried their whispers, their pleas, their final silences.I descended the concrete stairs with deliberate slowness, each step echoing like a death knell through the narrow corridor. Two guards ahead of me pulled open the heavy steel doors without a word, their faces blank masks of loyalty and fear. They knew better than to speak unless spoken to.The moment I crossed the threshold, the atmosphere in the room shifted. The air grew thicker, heavier, as if the walls themselves recoiled.Luca stood near the center, sleeves rolled up to his elbows, his forearms flecked with dried blood. The two captured attackers were bound to reinforced metal chairs bolted to the floor beneath a single, harsh overhead l

  • The Devil's Favourite Obsession    Blood Answers Blood

    (Adraino pov)“Boss, the port confirmed the shipment arrived an hour ago.”I looked up from the back seat of the SUV, my fingers tapping once against the leather armrest as Luca sat across from me with a tablet in his hand and three other vehicles followed closely behind us through the dark highway leading toward the docks.“And Alvarez?” I asked calmly.Luca’s expression hardened slightly.“Quiet.”“That means he’s planning something,” I replied.“He lost too much money already,” one of the men in the front seat muttered. “He won’t sit still.”“No,” I agreed quietly. “Men like him never do.”The convoy continued moving through the nearly empty road, headlights cutting through the darkness while rain threatened from above, heavy clouds gathering over the city like a warning, I adjusted the cuff of my black shirt slowly, my mind shifting briefly to Melissa, a dangerous distraction.“You’re thinking about her again,” Luca said suddenly.I looked at him flatly.“You talk too much.”“That
