Semua Bab The Don's Obsession: Bab 101 - Bab 110

Watching the Moretti crew at work, I couldn’t help but wonder why we hadn’t just hired them as the main contractor for the expansion in the first place. With the size of their company and the reputation they’ve built, they were more than capable of handling everything without needing outside help to speed things up. Honestly, the success and wealth of Marco’s family businesses could make anyone feel small. They owned everything—hotels, restaurants, logistics companies, hospitals, pharmaceutical brands, and on and on. It felt like no matter how successful someone else was, they’d still look second-rate next to them. But what really stood out to me was how humble they all were. Despite their power and influence, they never acted like they were above anyone. No snide remarks, no arrogance—just q

Marco stopped what he was doing again, his gaze fixed on me like I’d said something he couldn’t take back. He stood up, his jaw tight. As he walked toward me, I couldn’t help but take a step back, eventually bumping into the console table behind me. “Every time I admit I’m jealous, it pisses you off, doesn’t it?” he shot at me. “You brush it off like it doesn’t matter, like my feelings are nothing. I’ve tried so hard, Maddie. But how am I supposed to deal with this? You keep saying there’s nothing to be jealous of with that guy. So now I just keep it all inside, ‘cause I’m scared you’ll just brush it off again.” His words hit me hard, and I bit my lip, speechless. All the things I had p

Lucille's actions hit me all at once. My mind went blank, and before I even realized what I was doing, I slammed my foot on the gas pedal. I sped straight at Lucille. When she saw the car, her eyes went wide, and she tried to run, but I pushed the accelerator even harder. I hit her, and she rolled over the hood. That wasn’t enough for me, though. I reversed the car, and I could feel it lift, like the wheels were going over an uneven road. I knew exactly what it felt like—her body under the car as I backed over her. Once I was done, I got out of the car, and Renzo followed me, gun in hand. I looked down at Lucille lying there on the road. Blood was pouring from her head, and I noticed her skull was slightly crushed from the car. My shoulders slumped as I realized

Just as I was about to go after Marco, I heard Hudson call out—and that was it. Rage bubbled up inside me. I turned around and looked him straight in the eye."You have no idea how much I appreciated you, Hudson. You were there for me when everything in my life was falling apart. You and a few close friends stood by me, and I’ll never forget that. I valued you for being there during the darkest time in my life. Even when Marco warned me to stay away from you, I didn’t listen—because you were always kind to me. I saw you as a real friend. I felt like I owed you more than I could ever repay. But now? Now you've crossed a line. You tried to twist our past and use it against me—to ruin what I have with Marco. Lucky for me, I turned you down. We never had a thing, and I thank God for that, because Hudson, you’re nothing compared to Marco. You’re not even close. You’re just… garbage."I didn’t wait for a response. I turned on my heel and walked away, knowing Marco was probably feeling even

In my head, all I could think was, "I'm sorry. Please forgive me." Over and over again. I wanted so badly to say it to Marco, but he kept avoiding me, and I didn’t know what else to do. Maybe it was pathetic to beg, but I didn’t care. I messed up, and I owned that. I just wanted to make things right.I was still crying hard when the gate opened, barely even noticing it—I figured it was just the guard coming to tell me to leave.But then I heard a voice. “Maddie...”I looked up, tears blurring my vision, and there he was—Marco. He looked heartbroken, just like I felt. The pain on his face hit me like a wave, stirring up everything inside me even more.I got to my feet and walked toward him, tears still streaming down my face, wishing I could stop but not able to.“Marco, I’m so sorry. Let me explain. I would never hurt you—I swear, not in a million years.”“You’re unfair
