All Chapters of The Don’s Secret Obsession : Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

Isabella Varga did not run when the first accounts were frozen.She moved.By the time Giovanni reached the secondary address linked to one of her identities, the apartment was already cleared—no clothes left in the closet, no laptop, only a faint smell of bleach and the particular emptiness of a place abandoned with professional speed. He stood in the center of the room and catalogued what was missing. Someone had warned her. Or she had been watching the same channels the Virellis had just burned and had seen the fire coming.He sent Dante a single message from the stairwell.She’s gone. Professional exit. Someone tipped her or she was already packed. Trail is warm but not hot. Continuing.The reply came quickly. Keep the pressure on. We need her alive.Giovanni pocketed the phone and went back into the rain. Alive was still the preference. It was no longer a guarantee.Sofia received the update in the nursery while feeding Lorenzo.Luca stood near the window, listening as Dante rela

Paolo Rinaldi sat in the windowless interview room beneath the east wing and tried not to look at the camera in the corner.He was in his early forties, soft around the middle, the kind of man who had spent years surviving by being useful and unremarkable. His hands were folded tightly on the table. When the door opened and Sofia entered first, followed by Luca and Victor, the color drained from his face in a single, visible wave.Sofia did not sit immediately. She stood across from him and let the silence work.“You processed a payment that funded Isabella Varga’s disappearance,” she said. “You will tell us whether that was a single mistake or a pattern. You will not waste our time with the version of the story you prepared for an internal audit. The people who paid for that scrub are not the kind of people who leave loose ends alive for long. Cooperation is the only thing that changes your position in that equation.”Rinaldi’s throat moved. “I was told it was a vendor correction. A

Elena Miretti was taken just after nine in the morning.Victor’s team lifted her from the lobby of a mid-range business hotel on the southern edge of the city with no noise and no audience. She did not run. She did not argue. She asked only one question as the car doors closed: “Am I under arrest?”No one answered her.By the time she was seated in the interview room beneath the east wing, Rinaldi had already been placed in the adjacent observation space. A one-way panel separated them. Sofia stood with Luca and Victor behind the glass while Rinaldi was brought forward.“Look at her,” Victor said. “Take your time.”Rinaldi’s breath fogged the glass for a moment. He stared at the woman sitting upright in the chair, hands folded, expression carefully blank. The silence stretched. When he finally spoke, his voice was thin.“That’s her. The hair is different now. Shorter. But that’s the woman who brought me the files.”Sofia’s jaw tightened. Luca did not look away from the glass.“You’re

Chiara Donati broke just after eleven in the morning, and she did it the way a careful person closes an account: deliberately, with the numbers already added up. The interview room beneath the east wing had no clock. Sofia had taken it down herself the first night. Donati had spent nineteen hours not knowing whether it was day, and for most of them she had given them nothing: the same story, the same steady hands folded on the steel table, the same polite refusal. Now her hands had come apart. She pressed them flat against her knees to keep them quiet. Sofia sat across from her. Luca stood by the wall. Victor's recorder blinked red between them. "There was a sponsor," Donati said. Nobody moved. "I never met them. Instructions came through a dead drop. An encrypted file first, then a key card in a municipal locker, a different one each time. The card opened a single access window. I used it, delivered the paper, and the window closed behind me." She swallowed. "That's the part I co

The estate did not sleep after the bodies were removed.By 4:00 a.m. every corridor was under double rotation. Every credential issued in the previous thirty-six months was being pulled, cross-checked, and re-authorized by hand. Victor ran the sweep like a man who had taken the breach personally. Tomas had worked the medical entrance for eleven years. He had two children and a wife who was currently sitting in a side room with Valentina, still waiting for someone to tell her that the night had been a mistake.Sofia delivered the news herself.She stood in front of the woman, hands steady, voice stripped of everything except fact, and told her that her husband had been killed protecting the house. She did not offer empty comfort. She did not look away. When Tomas’s wife finally broke, Sofia remained standing until Valentina guided the woman out. Only then did Sofia step into the nearest empty room, close the door, and press her forehead against the wall hard enough to hurt.Luca found
