All Chapters of The Don's Reluctant Obsession: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

CaelumToday felt like a never-ending saga of depression filled with guilt. Sol's Aunt's story replayed in my head over and over again. It was strange that I felt so much anger for a man I admired, still admire. My father was everything to me, yet he didn't protect the woman I love.He didn't know what Moore's child would come to mean to me, but she was still a child. An unborn child, like my son, who I failed. I clasped my father's watch to my wrist then looked away with a deep breath. I will always love and respect my father, but I won't make the same mistakes he did.Many generations ago our ancestor created these alliances not just for money and power, but for protection. No one was going to rule our families, no laws would bind us, and no government would push us down. We ran the world behind the scenes and lived a luxurious life.Overtime the greed became too much, allowing men like Bolzico to have more power than he should had been allowed. Being a made-man once meant a duty of

SolenneThe second the meeting began I could barely feel my body. I stood confidently by Caelum's side truly believing he would protect me. As they discussed my father, then my own fate, it seemed surreal. Rarely did any of them glance my way. How could they so candidly discuss my life and not even bother to ask my opinion?I realized how powerful these families really were. They weren't vile humans pushing drugs and fucking whores. They were united as one to keep the children and grandchildren on top. To keep their bloodline above tyranny and above any other's rule. They were like a cult, but with more money than God. It was sickening yet alluring. So much power they held, so much good they could do.Caelum spoke of my time with him and I felt his words. I never wanted to be here or with him. There were times I found happiness behind closed door with Caelum, but not within this life. It wasn't all true though. I loved Chiara, Enzo, Isaac, Aria, and even Franco was growing on me again

Caelum I walked away from Sol's cell uneasy with her plan. I didn't like her down here or alone. What if something happened? What if someone tried to get to her?I walked to the first cell and laid in my suit on the thin metal bed. I wasn't leaving her. When she left next week, I wasn't sure how I would be able to stay away. I promised her freedom, but I feared I may turn into a stalker.After a short while I fell into a deep sleep. Even though we were in different cells and well, in a cell, I still felt a calm in my heart. She was home and although she would never be mine again, I felt the tension slowly lifting between us. She smiled at me, teased me, even talked to me. Sol didn't hate me, even though she should.I heard the door creak open and guessed Isaac was coming to check on her. When I saw a tall woman slink by my curiosity was at a new high. This was what Sol was waiting for. Roxy was coming to confess something important.There was an army of men at the door ready to prote

Solenne He walked into the dining room in a black suit that was half a mess. Sleeves rolled up, top buttons undone, and hair ruffled. His muscles were throbbing, probably from all the tension in his body and it made my eyes walk over every inch of his skin.I don't know how and I don't know when, but something inside me just snapped into place about Caelum. Maybe it was his vow, or how he looked at me like a mystical creature too far above him to even touch, or maybe it was his devotion to give me anything I ask of. All I knew was that somehow a brick wall came crashing down and now everything inside me flooded with emotions. Mostly, I just wanted to curl into his arms and hear his rough voice tell me it was all ok.I hadn't decided what it all meant though. I still wasn't sure if I could live this life or abide by their rules. I saw it all as barbaric and unfair. A few families with all this power. Caelum killed Tim, who was my half-brother, in his basement. He attacked Fabro at a c

Solenne I walked downstairs with a smile on my face. I was nervous to go to his room last night, but now I was glad I did. He held me all night, spoke honestly, and he was even playful. Caelum was my beast yet I've only seen him kneel to my ever demand since I returned.I knew in my heart I wanted to stay. My mind was still at odds with this decision though. I slowly opened my heart to him before and he ripped it wide open then stomped on it. Could he really change this much in such a short time? Could we make a real future together? I wasn't even sure what I wanted in my future anymore. Other than Elize, nothing in my life felt whole.The table was full of life at breakfast this morning. Everyone was chatting and joking around. I found myself tearing a few times watching all my friends laughing as I did too. This felt right. Caelum didn't engage in much conversation, but he listened and he wasn't bruting."Are you ready boss?" Isaac asked as we finished eating. We sat there for over
