The Mafia King’s Chubby Obsession Chapter 77: The Silent Treatment
The Penthouse. Two Days Later.The Cold War had officially started.After that meeting in the boardroom Lorenzo became very cold, to me. He built a wall of ice around himself that was so thick I was surprised it did not snow in our living room. Lorenzo did not yell at me. He did not lock me in my room. He just ignored me completely it was like I did not exist to him Lorenzo erased me from his life.The person I live with left before I woke up. The person I live with returned after I went to sleep. If the person I live with and I crossed paths the person I live with gave a nod and kept walking.He was taking it out on me because I showed him that he was wrong. The fact that I made him feel scared was really getting to him so he was punishing me for that too for making the person that is him feel fear.I was sitting at the kitchen island. I was staring at my reflection in a spoon. The kitchen island was in front of me and I was looking at my reflection in the spoon. My reflection in the

The Boardroom.The silence in the room was heavy.Sebastian St. Clair didn't look at the board members. He looked only at me. His eyes were dissecting me, looking for the cracks, looking for the fear he had tasted in Paris.I refused to give it to him. I sat perfectly still, hands folded on the table.Beside me, Lorenzo was a statue. He wasn't touching me. He wasn't looking at me. He was emanating a cold, terrifying indifference. He had brought me here as a weapon, and now that I was unsheathed, he expected me to be sharp."The agenda is simple," Sebastian said, sliding a dossier down the long mahogany table. "A vote of no confidence in CEO Lorenzo Moretti."A few board members gasped. The CFO looked down at his hands."On what grounds?" Lorenzo asked. His voice was bored."Instability," Sebastian said. "Erratic behavior. And reckless endangerment of company assets."He pointed a finger at Lorenzo."In the last

New York City. 8:00 AM.I woke up to the smell of coffee and the sound of rain hitting the glass.For a second, I panicked, thinking I was back in the "prison" routine. Then I looked at the bedroom door.It was slightly ajar.I wasn't locked in.I got out of bed, showered, and dressed in the only clothes I had that looked semi-professional—a black turtleneck and trousers Giovanni had retrieved from my old closet at the Estate.I walked out into the living room.The metal shutters were halfway up, letting in the grey morning light. The guards were still there, but they nodded at me respectfully."Morning, Mrs. Moretti," one of them said.Mrs. Moretti. It sounded different today. Yesterday, I was a liability. Today, I was the woman who tilted a ship.I found Lorenzo in the kitchen. He was dressed in a charcoal suit, looking sharp, dangerous, and utterly exhausted. He was reading a tablet while dr
The Mafia King’s Chubby Obsession Chapter 74: The War Room
New York City. 2:15 AM.The "War Room" was actually Lorenzo’s office, but it had transformed.The massive oak desk was now a command center. Three monitors had risen from hidden slots in the surface. The wall-sized screen was displaying a live satellite feed of the North Sea. It was dark, grainy, and green-tinted, but the shape of the cargo ship Iron Lady was unmistakable.And so were the three speedboats flanking it."Status," Lorenzo barked, sitting down and putting on a headset."Pirates are boarding," Giovanni said, his fingers flying across a keyboard. "They have jammed the ship's distress beacon. The crew is in the citadel (panic room), but the bridge is vulnerable."I stood by the door, barefoot in my sweatpants, feeling out of place but unable to look away."Alpha Team ETA?" Lorenzo asked."Twenty minutes," Giovanni replied."Too long," Lorenzo cursed. "They will strip the cargo and scuttle the ship in te

Day 4 of Lockdown.I was done crying. I was done feeling sorry for myself.Lorenzo had called me a liability. He had said I couldn't help.Watch me, I thought.I sat on the edge of the massive king-sized bed. The room was silent. I had no phone. No laptop. No tablet. Lorenzo had stripped the room of anything that could transmit a signal.But he had forgotten one thing.I looked at the wall opposite the bed.Mounted there was an 85-inch 8K Smart TV.It was designed for watching movies, but like every smart device, it had an operating system. And that operating system had a web browser.It was clunky. It was slow. Typing with a remote control was a nightmare. But it was a window to the outside world.I grabbed the remote. I muted the volume so the guards outside wouldn't hear.I opened the browser.I started searching. Not for news about the attacks—Lorenzo had already shown me those—but for Sebastian St. Clair.I pulled up every article, every interview, every paparazzi photo from the
The Mafia King’s Chubby Obsession Chapter 72: The Glass Wall
Day 3 of Lockdown.I was living with a ghost.Lorenzo was there—physically. I heard him in the early hours of the morning, making espresso in the kitchen. I smelled his cologne in the hallway. I saw the light under his office door burning 24/7.But I hadn't spoken to him in seventy-two hours.He slept in the guest room. He ate his meals in his office. When we passed each other in the living room, he looked through me like I was a piece of furniture.I was going insane.I paced the living room for the hundredth time. The metal shutters were still down, turning the penthouse into a luxurious cave."Giovanni," I asked the man guarding the kitchen. "Can I at least have my phone? I need to check the news. I need to... I just need it.""Mr. Moretti said no outside comms," Giovanni said, looking apologetic. "He wants you off the grid entirely. For your safety.""My safety?" I laughed humorlessly, hugging my arms ar
