All Chapters of The Don's Last Obsession: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

Five years ago, right after Dante became the Don, he was ambushed.At the time, I had just turned eighteen and left the orphanage. I stumbled upon him, covered in blood. Recognizing him as a benefactor of the orphanage, I don't know where I found the courage, but I dragged him into an abandoned warehouse to hide.Before the Conti family arrived, we were caught. I took a bullet for him, nearly shattering my spine.We were eventually returned to the Conti estate. Dante was gravely injured, but the moment he woke—fever burning through him—he ran to my bedside."I owe you your life. Whatever you want, I'll give it to you."I looked at his face and, almost on impulse, said, "In return for saving you… you'll give yourself to me."I meant it as a joke. He nodded and agreed.Those days while he recovered were the happiest we ever had.When he healed, he defied everyone and married me, an orphan girl. He said I was the only light in that dark period of his life and that I deserved the h

"No! Dante, you can't do this! Mama, the orphanage director, is relying on that targeted medicine to survive! If you stop it, she'll die!"I ignored the searing pain in my hand and lunged, clutching his arm. Mama was the only person in this world who had ever truly loved me—I couldn't lose her.Dante yanked his hand free. After instructing the sanatorium to halt the medication, he turned and walked away, leaving only my despair behind.I forced my weak body to the family council hall, determined to plead with him again to resume Mama's treatment. But as soon as I entered, I froze.Alessia was there, once more at the Conti estate, sitting audaciously in the seat to Dante's right—my seat.That seat had not existed before. Dante had created it especially for me, a recognition of all I had done for the family."Bianca, I designed this seat so you could participate in family affairs. I wanted everyone to see how outstanding you are."Now, another woman occupied it.Dante noticed me

Alessia walked over in her high heels, pinching her nose as she looked down at me on the stretcher. She wrinkled her brow in disgust, but a glint of satisfaction danced in her eyes."Dante, I told you she's acting. That's definitely a stand-in. She's so cruel—doing something like this just to soften your heart."Dante's head snapped toward her, eyes blazing with a terrifying light."Yes… it's fake. She's terrified of pain—how could she ever shoot herself? Call the coroner! Now!"I couldn't help but laugh coldly.'Yes, I used to fear pain. Even a tiny cut on my finger would have me raising my hand for you to bandage. But compared to the agony of a heart shattered… a bullet through the head was nothing.'The family coroner arrived quickly. Under Dante's murderous gaze, the coroner trembled as he collected samples and cross-checked dental records.Every second felt like an eternity.Dante paced like a trapped beast, each step sharp and restless."And the results?!"Ten minutes l

By the time Alessia was dragged in by two bodyguards, she was still screaming, "Let me go! I'm the Bellini family heiress! I'm the future Madre of the Conti family!"Dante sat on the sofa, radiating a terrifying aura. He looked like a demon risen straight from hell."Future Madre of the Conti family?" he said with a cold, humorless laugh. "Alessia… you took advantage of my trust to hurt the person I cared about most. Does that make you feel proud?"Alessia's heart skipped a beat. Forcing composure, she squeezed out a few fake tears."Dante… what are you saying? Did Nico tell you? The bruises on him… he got them from fighting with other children. He lied about it because he was afraid you'd be angry!"Bang—!A gunshot cracked through the room. The bullet whizzed past Alessia's cheek, shattering the ornaments behind her.She collapsed to the floor, her face burning in pain."Fighting?" Dante barked. He grabbed Nico, rolling up his sleeve to reveal deep finger-mark bruises. "Is th
