The Mafia King’s Forbidden Obsession のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

SELENE’S POV The sound of bells resounded in my ears as we drove to the venue, but instead of hearing the wedding bells, it sounded like those were sounds that were meant to usher me into a life of misery."I hope you know what you are doing, Selene,” I muttered, looking at the window while the car wheeled to the church.Caspian asked Vincent to drive me to the church, alongside one other guard who was seated in front. He was afraid that I could run away before the wedding, and he was right.I had thought about it, but there was just one thing stopping me from fleeing, and I didn’t even know what it was, at least not yet. We eventually arrived at the church, and I was handed a bouquet by one of the strange chief-bridesmaids picked by whoever to be with me at the wedding. As soon as I began to march along the aisle, everyone stood up to join Dario and the priest who were already standing.“Keep going…” I whispered only to my hearing the moment I realized that my legs were shaking as

Selene POV I spent the next couple of minutes, thinking about the words Dario said to me. “The kind of lessons that will keep me alive…” I muttered his words, but there was no understanding to them, not even in the smallest way.It was hard for me to get rid of the suspense that accompanied the thoughts about those words, and it was also hard for me to ignore the curiosity that had begun to develop inside my head. Maybe it was I who was overreacting at that moment, but I knew that whatever was associated with the Santoro family was nothing devoid of violence and illegal businesses. I saw the signs when Dario and I were still dating, but I chose to ignore them because I loved him. I never knew that love could hurt that way. By the time I was done getting ready for the supposed lessons, Caspian was already waiting for me in the living room. He sent Vincent to get me, and he waited for me at the door patiently until I was ready. “What did I tell you about punctuality, Selene?” Cas

SELENE’S POV My life was gradually turning upside down, and the only thing that I could do was cry inside the large room I was given in the Santoro manor. It would have been easier to find solace if I had chosen that life for myself, but the choice was relegated to Caspian the moment I picked up that black ballpoint pen and signed those documents. I thought it was just going to be the wedding alone, but I didn’t realize that it could affect my life, my school, and all the things that I had planned to do.I sobbed, whimpered, and covered myself with the black blanket, but nothing changed at that moment, not even the fact that the lights from the extra-large chandelier were too bright for my heavy eyes. The knock I had intentionally ignored came the second time, and I wondered if whoever it was had the intention of remaining there when I was not in the mood to speak to anyone. Not after realizing that I had made one of the most terrible mistakes of my life. Then the knock came agai

SELENE’S POV Caspian didn’t like the fact that Dario was at the door. For some reason, he became very apprehensive and inched away slowly from me.“He can’t know that I am here.” He said with a whisper, and then he moved to the bathroom where he hid quietly. “Selene? I know you are in there!” Dario’s voice became louder, but he didn’t knock. “I promise not to waste your time!” He didn’t sound like he was going to leave. I couldn’t stop my heart from beating like it was trying to escape from my chest. My eyes were on the bathroom door while I stood up and walked up to the main door. I opened it slowly and watched as Dario stood in front of me silently for a while. “Is everything okay?” He asked like his instincts had told him that something was wrong.“Yes, Dario. Everything is alright, why?” I blocked him from looking inside my room, making sure that I didn’t open the door wide enough.“I am not sure. But you seem…” He searched for suitable words to use.“Jumpy.” He said. “You se

SELENE’S POV I was convinced that Caspian was going to hit me, but I had hid my face for more than ten seconds without feeling even the slightest touch.Then I looked up to see him looking down at me with a smirk.“You learn fast, Selene. You are becoming just like your father.” He extended his hand to my face and lifted it up from my chin. I couldn’t look into his eyes, they seemed like they were trying to compel me to do something that I didn’t want to. “You have Lucian’s eyes. I wonder what would happen when you grow up?” Caspian unhanded me when he was satisfied with looking at me. Then I was able to catch my breath and took several steps away from him. “Were you going to hit me?” I asked when I saw that he was still staring at me with a smirk. “I am famished, Selene. I think we should go have breakfast.” He walked away, ignoring everything that I said. I was hungry as well, I couldn’t even imagine that I had stayed hungry for hours since I woke up.It was just the first d
