All Chapters of Obsession of the Mafia King: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

The ballroom shimmered beneath chandeliers dripping with crystal light, every flicker reflecting off polished marble floors. The air was thick with perfume, wine, and secrets, all wrapped in the illusion of celebration. Dante’s hand rested firmly against the small of Amara’s back as they entered, his presence commanding respect, his gaze sharp enough to slice through whispers that followed them.To the world, they were the perfect pair—an untouchable couple exuding power and beauty. But beneath Amara’s calm expression, her heart churned with unease.Because tonight, she had agreed to a deal with the devil in disguise—Lorenzo.He waited across the room, leaning casually against a column, champagne glass in hand, his smile sly and knowing. His eyes, green and cold as serpent scales, locked onto hers, and Amara felt her stomach twist. She hated the way his gaze lingered, as though he already owned a piece of her soul.“Smile, bella,” Dante murmured close to her ear, pressing his lips li

The ballroom’s chandeliers glittered like frozen stars, their glow spilling across polished marble and silken gowns. Music swelled—violins trembling with a false sense of serenity. Amara felt her pulse race, her hand clenched tight around the edge of her dress as Lorenzo leaned closer.He smelled of expensive cologne and danger. His lips curled into a smile that wasn’t for her, but for the man watching across the room.Dante.Lorenzo moved swiftly, too swiftly for Amara to step back. His hand cupped her jaw, tilting her face up toward his. For a breathless second, the world froze—then his mouth crashed onto hers.The kiss wasn’t soft. It wasn’t tender. It was a weapon, a declaration, a poisoned arrow aimed directly at Dante’s chest.Gasps echoed from the crowd. A murmur rippled like wildfire through the guests. Amara’s hands pressed against Lorenzo’s chest, her heart pounding in outrage, shame, and fear. She wanted to scream—but the sound caught in her throat.And then she saw him.D

The night in the Mancini estate was unusually heavy, the air thick with a foreboding silence that felt almost ceremonial. Even the guards stationed at every corner seemed unusually tense, as though they knew the storm was no longer approaching—it had already arrived.Dante sat at the head of the long mahogany table in the war room. Maps of territories, sketches of ports, photographs of safehouses—all scattered before him, illuminated by the golden glow of the chandelier above. The tension in the room was palpable. Men who had sworn their lives to the Mancini name sat with their backs straight, waiting for Dante to speak.But Dante’s attention was not entirely on them. Across the room, Amara stood silently, her presence both fragile and unyielding. The mark of his punishment from the night before was still visible in the faint bruising on her wrist where he had gripped her too tightly, a reminder of the blurred line between his desire to protect and his obsession with control.He had

The cold night air carried with it the faint hum of the city, but Amara could hear nothing except the frantic rhythm of her own heart. Her leather boots pressed soundlessly against the wet pavement as she crouched in the shadow of a derelict warehouse on the southern edge of the docks. Ahead, a fortress disguised as rusted steel and silence loomed before her—the lion’s den. Lorenzo’s base.Every instinct screamed for her to turn back. She wasn’t trained for this. She wasn’t like Dante’s men, hardened soldiers with scars carved into their skin and steel woven into their souls. She was a woman who’d once been a pawn, a survivor who had crawled out of the ashes of Lorenzo’s cruelty and Dante’s war. And yet here she was, chosen by Dante himself, not out of force, but out of faith.“You’re the only one who can get close without raising suspicion,” Dante had told her earlier that evening in the safehouse. His eyes, dark and intense, had burned into her. “You know Lorenz

The night settled over Rome like a velvet shroud, the city lights shimmering against the Tiber as if the water itself carried fragments of the stars. Amara sat on the small balcony of the safehouse, her knees pulled up to her chest, her head resting on her arms. She had showered, washed the grime and blood from Lorenzo’s compound from her skin, but nothing could rinse away the memory of it. The screams, the gunfire, the heat of the explosion—everything clung to her as though stitched into her very soul.Dante had been quiet since they returned. He hadn’t spoken much during the drive back, his knuckles white against the steering wheel, his jaw tight, his gaze fixed ahead like the road was the only thing holding him together. Now, he stood in the shadows of the living room, watching her through the open door that led to the balcony.Amara felt his presence before she saw him. The air shifted when he walked into a space, charged, alive. She turned her head slightly,
