  • The Devil's Favourite Obsession    Forever

    (Adriano Pov)Yes.One simple word, yet somehow it hit harder than gunfire ever had, for several seconds I could only stare at her.Melissa looked back at me calmly, completely unaware that she had just altered the course of my entire life with one quiet answer.Yes.Not hesitant, not afraid, not conditional, just certain, the terrifying thing was how badly I wanted to believe her, how desperately some ruined part of me wanted to hold onto that single word and build an entire future around it.A future, again that impossible thought, I brushed my thumb slowly against her cheek while my mind struggled between instinct and emotion, instinct told me love was weakness, emotion told me she was becoming the only thing keeping me human which was a dangerous combination.“You shouldn’t say things like that so easily,” I murmured quietly.Melissa frowned immediately.“I wasn’t lying.”“I know.”That was the problem, she meant every word and somehow that terrified me more than manipulation ever

  • The Devil's Favourite Obsession    I Choose You

    (Melissa pov)For a moment I simply stared at him, the room felt too quiet, Adriano’s question lingered between us like something fragile and dangerous at the same time, would you still choose me anyway?The strange thing was that he sounded almost afraid asking it, not physically afraid but emotionally and that honestly shocked me more than anything else, because Adriano Rossi feared almost nothing.Yet right now, sitting beside me in the dim light of the bedroom with tension visible in his eyes, he looked like a man waiting for a verdict capable of destroying him, my chest tightened painfully at the sight.“Why are you asking me that?” I whispered softly.He didn’t answer immediately, Adriano always carried silence like armor whenever something mattered too much, I studied him carefully while trying to understand what exactly was happening inside his head tonight.Something felt different, Like he was carrying a decision he didn’t know how to make.“You’ve been distant since earlier

  • The Devil's Favourite Obsession    The Future I Want With Her

    (Adriano Pov)The mansion was finally quiet again.Melissa’s friends had left hours ago after turning half the house upside down with laughter, questions, stolen desserts from the kitchen, and enough noise to confuse my guards into believing an actual attack was happening at one point.Now silence had returned, but unlike before Melissa entered my life, the silence no longer felt peaceful, It felt temporary, like the calm before something terrible.I stood alone inside my office staring out through the massive glass windows overlooking the city while rain continued falling steadily across the streets below.Somewhere upstairs, Melissa was sleeping, completely unaware that her father had returned from the dead.Completely unaware that powerful men were preparing wars around her existence, completely unaware that every decision I made now could either protect her or destroy her, I loosened my tie slowly before sitting down heavily against the leather chair behind the desk.For the first

  • The Devil's Favourite Obsession    A Conversation Between Monsters

    (Adriano pov)Nobody in the room moved, nobody breathed too loudly, the moment the name Salvatore Moretti entered the conversation, the atmosphere inside the meeting room changed completely, fear existed in every criminal empire, but there were certain men whose names carried something worse than fear.Legend.Salvatore Moretti was one of those men and right now, one of the most dangerous ghosts in organized crime history was speaking directly into my ear.“You’ve been difficult to reach,” I said calmly while keeping my expression unreadable.Across the room, Luca stared at me carefully while the others remained frozen in complete silence.“You’re not as invisible as you think, Adriano Rossi,” the older man replied.His voice sounded controlled, intelligent, experienced, not loud, men like him never needed to raise their voices, power already spoke for them.“I assume this call isn’t social.”A low chuckle echoed through the phone.“No. This is about my daughter.”There it was again,

  • The Devil's Favourite Obsession    The Bloodline They Want

    (Adriano Pov)The meeting room inside the eastern wing was silent except for the sound of rain striking against the tall windows, I stood near the table reading documents Luca had placed in front of me while several men waited quietly around the room for instructions.No one spoke carelessly in rooms like this, not when tension was already hanging heavily in the air, not when war was slowly approaching, Luca leaned back against the chair with exhaustion written across his face while another man projected surveillance photographs onto the large screen mounted on the wall.Photographs of Melissa, leaving class, entering cafes, walking across campus laughing with her friends completely unaware that powerful men were discussing her existence like the center of an international conflict, rage simmered low inside my chest again.One of Romano’s captains had been caught two hours ago carrying more photographs in his car, Melissa from different angles, different days, different locations, the

    (Melissa pov)“What the hell”My eyelids fluttered open to dim light filtering through heavy blackout curtains, my head throbbing like I have been hit with a brick, disorientation hit first, silk sheets tangled around my naked body, my wrists bound loosely to the headboard with what felt like leath

    (Adriano pov)“Welcome back, boss.”I stepped out of the prison gates without slowing, the morning air hitting differently after two months behind concrete and steel, the sound of freedom quieter than most people imagined but sharper to someone like me.“You took your time,” I said calmly, adjustin

    “It’s been two months… and I still feel like I never really escaped him.”Two months since Adriano Rossi appeared on every screen in handcuffs, and I still couldn’t breathe without feeling his shadow on my neck, I told myself he was gone, I stopped watching the news, I stopped saying his name, I st
