The Mafia King’s Lost Obsession 11
CHAPTER 11•ODESSA POV•He leaves it wide open. Just like the night I left him. Twenty-five years ago. Gianna Rossi died in a car crash, what about my dad? So why did the people who raised me call themselves Mom and Dad? I was six. She was cutting apples. I was small for my age, knees scraped, hair in a messy braid she didn’t do. “Momma,” I asked, sweet. Soft. The way I thought daughters were supposed to ask. “Did I look like you when I was born? Did Daddy have my eyes?” The knife hit the wood. Thud. “You ask stupid questions for a stupid girl,” she said. “Eat.” I didn’t eat. I stared at her hands. They weren’t soft. They didn’t look like mine. I wondered if my real mother had hands that held me. If my father had eyes like mine. If they ever got to look at me at all. I learned not to ask. I don’t go to my room. I go after him. My feet are bare on the marble, cold, quiet. The silk on my skin is torn. Not blue. Just... torn. I need names. Dates. Who told them to lie to

•ODESSA POV• I didn’t sleep that night. Not because of the lock clicking behind Alessino last night. Because of his hand on my throat. Because I didn’t pull away. Because for one split second, when his thumb brushed my pulse, I wanted him to press harder. God, I’m sick. A knock drags me out of bed. The maid with breakfast. She sets the tray down without looking at me. Her eyes skip over the window like it’ll bite her. When she’s gone, I go to it. The glass is old, wavy. But it’s the wood frame that catches me. Down low, near the sill, where the paint’s chipped. Carved in, small and frantic, like someone used a pin: Gianna — Romano Gianna. The name his mother keeps crying at dinner. Beautiful eyes. Tell Alessino to be good to her. A ugly thought crawls in before I can stop it. What if Gianna was his? What if she’s not just some dead woman his mother’s loved? What if she was engaged to him? What if she was supposed to be the one in this house, wearing

•ALESSINO POV•Maria's fingers slipped, and her spoon dropped. The sound cuts through the garden like a gunshot. “Ma,” I say, keeping my voice even. “You’re tired. Let’s get you inside.” She blinks at me, confused again. “Who are you? Where’s my son?” The table goes dead quiet. Leo looks at his plate. Alexandro doesn’t move. The two captains suddenly find the white roses very interesting. Only Odessa looks at me. Really looks at me. Like she’s seeing something she wasn’t supposed to see. I hate it. “Leo,” I say. “Take my mother upstairs. Tell the nurse to up her dose tonight.” Leo moves fast. Gentle with her. “Come on, Mama. Let’s go sit by the fire.” Maria goes with him, but she keeps looking back over her shoulder. “The girl,” she mumbles. “She has Giana’s beautiful eyes. Tell Alessino to be good to her.” I went numb. Beautiful eyes. That’s what Ma always said about Gianna. She’s refused to stop talking about her old friend even after her sickness.I watch Leo le

•ODESSA POV•I wish the ground would open up and swallow me. That’s the first thought I have when I wake up. The second thought is eight o’clock. His voice from yesterday, saying it. Dinner is at eight. The red dress is on your bed. Wear it. I haven’t moved from the floor. My back hurts. My head hurts worse. I can’t stop hearing him. If you’re not at my table when the clock strikes eight, I’ll come up here. And you don’t want that. I believe him. I’ve been in this room for less than a day and I already feel crazy. Like my skin doesn’t fit right. Like every sound is his footsteps. Like if I breathe too loud, he’ll hear it. That’s what he does. He gets inside your head and locks the door from the outside. There’s a knock at 6:30. I don’t answer. They come in anyway. Two maids. Young. Quiet. They don’t look at me on the floor. They just walk to the bathroom and start the water. Like this is normal. Like dressing a prisoner is part of their job. “Miss Romano,” one says. “Mr.

•ALESSINO POV•I didn't go back to her room that night. I can’t. If I see her again, I’ll either break her or break myself. There’s no in-between. So I spent the night in my office. Door locked. A bottle of Macallan open on the desk. Not drinking. Just holding it. Watching the amber catch the light from the city. Five hours. I sit there for five hours and don’t move. The sun comes up. I haven’t slept. I make her coffee. Two sugars. No milk. The way she used to take it when we were kids and she’d sneak into my kitchen at three in the morning because she couldn’t sleep. She’d say the sweetness kept the nightmares away. I wondered if it still worked. The kitchen is empty at 5am. Or it should be. The grinder is loud. I don’t care. Let the whole damn house wake up. Let them see. “Boss?” I don’t turn around. I know the voice. Alexandro. He’s been with me since I was sixteen. He was there when I took my first life. He was there when I took my last breath thinking she was go
The Mafia King’s Lost Obsession 6
•ODESSA POV• I wake up to the sound of a key turning, and for a second I think it’s Massimo, but the room is wrong. The ceiling is too high. The sheets smell like fresh wood and oily metal instead of cologne. Then I remember. Alessino. The door opens and two women walk in with a basin of water and towels folded so sharp they could cut. “Mr. De Luca sent us to help you clean up,” the older one says. Her voice is polite. Empty. Like she’s reciting a script. I sit up too fast and the room swims. “Where am I?” “In the west wing, ma’am. You’re safe here.” Safe. Right. That’s why there are two men outside my door with guns and no faces. They don’t touch me hard, but they don’t ask either. They strip the bloodied shirt off me and wipe me down with warm cloths, and I let them because fighting would mean they call him. I catch my reflection in the mirror while they comb my hair and I barely recognize the girl looking back. Pale. Eyes too big. Mouth pressed shut like if I open it
