All Chapters of Obsessed with my Beautiful Enemy : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

CHAPTER 61SALVATORE POV.The office was suffocating this morning and everywhere seems quiet. I sat at the desk with the black folder in front of me, staring at it like it might bite. Footsteps echoed in the halls. Doors opened. Men started their shifts. I hadn't slept. Those papers inside the folder had kept me awake all night.Charlie had brought them last night. Evidence. The kind of truth that didn't come with an apology attached. The documentation was thorough. Shipping manifests. Financial transfers. Witness statements. Photos. The routes. The signed approvals. Everything pointed to the same ugly picture. Lena's brothers weren't just ruthless. They were trafficking women and children. They were profiting from it. And they'd been covering their tracks well enough that nobody outside their inner circle had known the extent of it.I rubbed my eyes. The exhaustion sat heavy, but the thoughts were heavier. Lena and that smile during training. The way her face had changed when I prai

CHAPTER 63SALVATORE POVLena stayed in my arms, crying so hard she could barely breathe. I held her tightly, one hand stroking the back of her head gently. I'd watched a lot of people cry over the years. I'd caused a lot of those tears myself. It had never touched me. Not once.But Lena's tears felt like someone was driving a knife through my ribs.I realized something terrifying in that moment. I would rather take a bullet than hear her cry like this again. The thought unsettled me completely. I'd always believed that love made people weak. Now I was understanding just how weak I'd become because of her.Lena kept whispering, "I didn't know. I swear I didn't know." She apologized over and over for crimes she'd never committed, for sins that belonged to people she shared blood with but not choices with. I gently cupped her face and told her firmly, "Look at me."She refused. The shame was too much.I lifted her chin anyway. Our eyes met. "You are not responsible for what they chose."

CHAPTER 65SALVATORE POV After I left Lena's room I couldn't sleep. I stood on the balcony outside my office . The island was quiet. My mind wasn't.For years every decision I made had been built around one single purpose, revenge. Every alliance I formed. Every bullet I fired. Every sacrifice I demanded. Everything pointed toward destroying the people responsible for the Romano massacre. I'd structured my entire life around that one goal.Now I asked myself a question I'd never thought possible. If revenge cost Lena's life, would I still choose it?The answer came instantly. "No."The word terrified me more than anything ever had. I'd always believed that love made people weak. Watching myself admit that answer, I finally understood just how vulnerable she'd made me.The next morning Diego found me already at the desk, working. Maps were spread across the surface. Reports from Charlie. Lists of Caruso businesses. Except I wasn't actually reading them. I was staring into space, not s

CHAPTER 67SALVATORE POV The headlines were everywhere on the tablet screen. Every news outlet had picked up the same story. Photos of Lena. Pictures taken secretly on the island. Images of her standing beside me. Fake headlines under each one. "Mafia Princess Betrays Her Bloodline." "Captive Turned Lover." "Lena Romano Chooses the Devil." "Sleeping With Her Family's Killer."The lies had spread across Europe in only a few hours.Charlie spoke quietly from across the room, "Dante owns half the media companies that printed them."I stared at Lena's picture on the screen. She looked beautiful. She also looked completely alone, like the weight of the world had already settled on her shoulders. My jaw tightened. Not because of what they called me. Because of what they were calling her.I searched around the house for her. She wasn't in the library. Not in the gardens. Not in the kitchen. Finally I found her sitting on the balcony outside her room, staring out at the ocean like it held an

CHAPTER 69SALVATORE POV I stood on the balcony overlooking the courtyard. The soldiers below were laughing among themselves, completely unaware that I could hear every word they were saying. One of them said, "She's making the Boss weak." Another added, "All this bloodshed for one woman." A third muttered, "Maybe she'd betray him too."Charlie stood beside me. I felt his stomach tighten. He'd seen this silence before. It was always worse than when I shouted. My expression remained perfectly calm too calm in a way that made the air feel dangerous. Without taking my eyes off the men, I said quietly, "Bring them to the training yard."Charlie hesitated. "Salvatore""Now."The single word left no room for argument.Minutes later every soldier on the island had gathered in the main training yard. No one knew why they were being assembled. Whispers spread through the crowd like electricity. Even Diego sensed something was off. The three men who'd mocked Lena exchanged nervous glances with
