All Chapters of The Don's Obsession: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

[MARCANTONIO]“Marco,” Maddie whispered weakly. I saw her hand lift, but I gently held it and guided it back down. “Why can’t I see you? Everything’s dark.”Her words hit me hard. My lips trembled. “I’m right here. Don’t talk. You’re going to be okay, Maddie. Just hang in there. Please.”She gave a small, tired smile, but didn’t say anything else. I held her hand tightly and didn’t let go, not for a second.When we got to the hospital, the doctors and nurses were already waiting. They quickly moved Maddie onto a stretcher and rushed her into the emergency room. I followed, still holding her hand, but a nurse stepped in front of me.“Mr. Moretti, you can’t come inside,” she said firmly. I glared at her, but Renzo stepped in and pulled me back.They must have known I’d try to go in. I stayed in the waiting area instead, refusing to leave. My clothes were still covered in Maddie’s blood. If Renzo hadn’t made me wash my hands earlier, I wouldn’t have bothered. Her blood was still on me, a

[MARCANTONIO]“I can see that, son,” Dad said, and I looked up at him. “Even if you don’t realize it, I can tell you’re trying to be better—for her. No one’s perfect, Marco. I know you want to be perfect for your wife, but that’s not possible. We all make mistakes—it’s part of being human. You don’t have to have it all figured out. Every day, you’ll learn more about yourself. None of us really knows who we are completely. But you know what truly matters?” He gave me a gentle smile. “We might lose some battles, but we can still win the war. It’s not over yet. Maddie’s still alive. She’s fighting. You have to believe in her. Even the best of us fall sometimes, but they always get back up.”Dad patted my shoulder, and just like that, I felt a little lighter—like I could breathe again. We left the rooftop, and for the first time in a while, I smiled. I couldn’t wait to see Maddie again and tell her about the baby.Talking with my dad gave me hope. But the moment we stepped back into the w

[MARCANTONIO]“Hi,” I said softly to Maddie, my voice shaking with both hope and fear. “I wish I could stay with you until you wake up, but the ICU has strict visiting hours because of how delicate your condition is. Please wake up, Maddie. I kept my promise—I’m here, just like I said I would be.”My lips trembled as I thought about what could have happened if Maddie hadn’t stepped in front of that bullet. I had promised to protect her, and if she hadn’t made it, that broken promise would have haunted me forever. But I never wanted her to be the one hurt.I looked down at her belly, thinking of the little life growing inside her. “I have amazing news to tell you, love. But I won’t say it until you open your eyes. I know it’ll make you happy.” I held back my tears, wanting to sound calm—just in case she could hear me. “So please, Maddie… come back to me. I’ll be right here waiting.”In the quiet of the room, I studied her face closely, trying to memorize every part of it. As long as sh

[MARCANTONIO]I kept running my fingers through her hair, unable to hold back any longer. I leaned in and gently kissed the top of her head.In a soft, quiet voice, she said, “I missed you, Marco. I dreamed about you while I was fighting for my life. You were the reason I kept going, even when things felt hopeless.”Her words stayed in my mind, reminding me of what my mom had said about Maddie’s strong will to live. A smile spread across my face as I listened to her.Then she looked up at me. Her eyes were a bit swollen, like she had been crying earlier. “Now, I have no regrets—especially since I found out I’m pregnant,” she said, watching me closely. “Were you waiting for me? Did I make you wait too long?”I shook my head, my heart full of love for her. “No, Maddie. It’s never too long. I’ll always wait for you. You’re worth every second.”Her smile grew, but I couldn’t stop thinking about what would come next. When she left the hospital, we’d need to be extra careful—not just becaus

[MADISON]I whispered his name as we pressed against the wall. My legs wrapped around Marco’s waist while he moved inside me with both strength and care. I ran my hands through his hair, tugging gently each time he pushed deeper.“Oh God, Marco, harder,” I breathed, nibbling on his ear. He obeyed, his moans matching mine.Water from the shower mixed with our sweat, making us slick and warm. He pulled me in for a fierce kiss, and I welcomed his tongue, feeling closer to him than ever.“I love you,” I said between kisses. It felt so right in that moment.“Fuck,” he groaned, keeping his pace. I cried out, burying my face in his neck as he brought me higher and higher.My nails left light marks on his skin. I wondered if those scratches would turn into little scars later.“The baby…” he said in a husky voice, slowing for a moment. “Will it be okay?”I smiled. “Yes,” I said softly. “If I’m happy, the baby is too.”He cursed softly and kissed me again, pulling me toward the bedroom without
