บททั้งหมดของ VINCENZO ACE—His Obsession : บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

*Vincenzo Ace*Betrayals are a bunch of lunatics who think they are wise:Betrayals are stupid men who think it is the best choice to work with those with something else to offer while forgetting that men with power end up winning, and once they get caught, there will be no one to save them.Yes, that's the consequence of betraying me for a person that wasn't worth it—someone as cunning as Selena.My fist clenched, suppressing and holding onto my last bit of self-control as I stormed into the silent room with great dark tension lingering in the air.Being aware of my presence, everyone became alert, their hands gripping firmly on anything they have been assigned to torture the motherfucker.“Don, he has been acting stubborn. We tried to make him speak but he refused to. He claims he has never met her, so we tortured him until he—” The words of my secret investigator, Russel, trailed off as he motioned towards the bastard tied to a pole.I nodded my head and hummed in response, my furio

*Vincenzo Ace.*I was fascinated by how terrified he was. His whole body trembled naturally, and as a result, he had completely turned pale. The thrill of danger surges through me at his reaction as I turn to instruct my men.“Search around the Vicinity. Know that you should not lay a finger on her if you happen to find her. I need her dragged here. Alive.”“Yes boss,” They chorused before storming out of the torture room.Such boldness. The possibility that she might be sneaking around here with the idea that she's highly wanted by me was an incredibly bold move.I paced around for a bit, before turning swiftly to look at him, “Michell, I need you to tell me about the attack. What are they planning to do?”Lily's safety meant a lot to me too, and the realization that she would be in such danger because of me makes my chest tighten in rising anger. This was the reason I hated commitment. Getting so involved with anyone will only bring them undeserved Issues and threats. I wasn't even c

*Lily's P.O.V.*Freight was twirling around me like a tornado, ready to capture my soul in its dark and hovering embrace.I was in utmost dismay. For a moment, I couldn't speak, I couldn't think. I didn't know what to do. I sat frozen, watching her body laying lifeless a few meters away from me. It makes my heart race faster and my breathing rage.Was she dead?“Elena,” I called once I found my voice—my tone barely above a whisper and overshadowed by the loud eruptive shooting sound. I placed both hands on the floor as I crawled towards her, pulling her head to rest on my thigh. She wasn't breathing.No. It can't be!She was too innocent—too pure to be killed in such a horrendous way. She does not deserve death. Someone should save her. She needs help!I had lost all senses of reasoning. Should I call for help? It was chaotic right now. Who would listen to me? I attempted anyway and lifted my head above the counter to call for help. However, the thought of saving Elena seems to have f

*Vincenzo Ace.*I sensed it. The fear of impending danger. It was an intuition on my part.I got the information that Mitchell died. Whoever pulled that fucking trigger had cleared all evidence of their horrible acts—had silenced the only mouth that could speak to expose their ferocious plans, and at the same time, had presented to me that they were around, lurking in the shadows waiting for the perfect moment to strike.Although I got a bit shaken up by the unexpected twist, I was alert—alert to do whatever to save Lily. She was my fear—the only human I cared about. They did make a perfect choice when they decided to use her to get what they wanted from me. I didn't realize until this moment that a girl, as little, daring, and stubborn with nothing favorable to say about her attitude towards me could be used against me—could end up being my weakness.If only I could pretend that I didn't care about her, then their whole plans would crumble down their feet. But what can I do when I ca

*Vincenzo Ace.*Eye contact needed to be avoided so I could stay sane enough to blurt out my next words with as much cruelty as I could.“I thought you were a little smarter. That's where you get it wrong, Lily. Someone like me is not meant to be trusted. You can only depend on yourself in this world—”“That's weird—” Selena chirps in, “Your words sound so bitter and you aren't even looking at her. What? You can't bring yourself to lie in her face?”I took in a sharp breath. Her words made my muscles tense and filled my body with resentment. I hated it when she talked too much—I hated the fact that she was taking advantage of me appearing so calm. No one bosses me around, I boss them around while I do just whatever I want.But the deeds need to be done and someone has to get hurt anyway. It was unavoidable.I turned to look at Lily, my face hardened, tightening all the avalanche of emotions showing on my face.Even in the dim light, I could see the bright pending tears building up in
