She's my obsession

CHAPTER 5

“Please follow me, Mrs Romano,” she said as she used her hands to signal which way to go.

"Call me Mrs Isabella, please," I said while following her closely.

We entered the elevator, and we headed to the top floor. It was so high up that I could see everything from up there. We came out of the elevator, and it was a penthouse and I couldn't help but gasp at how beautiful the place was.

"Please make yourself at home … but don't get too comfortable,” she said in a way that anyone close enough would hear.

"What do you mean by that, Selena?” I said in a stern voice?

“It's just that Mr Nico usually brings women like you around and claims they are his wife without any ring on…” I caught her stare at my fingers as she finished speaking.

"It's not going to last, take it from me, he's going to leave you soon and when he does, I can finally have him all to myself again,” she smirked as she finished speaking and left me in the house.

I felt a bit of a heartache and hoped she was just bluffing, and it wasn't true, and I wasn't just a woman he could use and dispose of easily.

I went to sit down on the couch and I began to think and figured I needed a plan. If he was going to be my husband, then he had to act like one. I needed him in other to get revenge on my father and save my mother from him because only God knows what he must have put my mother through.

I decided I wasn't just going to be a pawn in his games and I needed to act like a queen if I was going to be able to control him.

Lost in my thoughts, I didn't hear the elevator open and someone walked in, and he sat down on the other end of the couch while staring at me. Then he said, “What seems to be troubling you, Mrs Isabella Romano?”

I jumped up in fear while staring at him while he chuckled at how I reacted.

" How did you get here, and who are you? And how do you know my name?” I asked.

" Woah, Woah easy there, one question at a time: How did I get in? Well, the elevator, of course. Who am I? I'm Marco DeSantis, best friend and partner to Nico Romano. How do I know your name? Well, your husband is my best friend, so that answers that," he said while grinning.

“Well, he's not here now, he's in a meeting,” I said coldly.

" Yes, I'm aware, I will just wait here, but you didn't seem to answer my question. What's troubling you ?” he asked again.

"That's not your concern.” I left the office and went inside the room and there was a bed, and it looked so comfy I buried my head in it and soon enough I heard Marco talking to someone, as I was about to go to the office to see who he was with Nico came inside the room.

" Hope I didn't make you wait too long, and I see you have met Marco. Hope he didn't bother you.” I saw a genuine look of concern as he asked and my heart melted.

“No, he didn't bother me at all," I replied.

We went back to his office and I saw Marco on the couch playing with a small ball.

“You are lucky she has no complaints, otherwise I would have slit your throat by now.” Nico yelled at him loud enough so he could hear.

“Hey… I didn't even do anything," he said, laughing.

I assumed they both had a good relationship because I hadn't seen anyone talk to him in this manner, and he seemed to be so casual with him, like he knew him all too well.

" You are thinking again, is it about what your father did? He's as good as a coward for giving up his only daughter like this and to this man over here.” He said in such a way that I felt a pinch in my heart.

" Nevertheless, he's still my father, and you do not speak of him like that. I suppose Nico told you about me then.” I glared at Nico as soon as I finished speaking while he looked in another direction.

" Haha….. Please don't look at him like that. If he hadn't even told me I would still find out, I mean you are the one everyone talks about now," Marco said while laughing.

“You two are getting along too well. Marco, stay away from my wife," Nico said firmly to Marco.

Marco smiled and said, “I wonder what charm she must have used on you. It seems you aren't letting this one go."

It made me wonder what other girls he had been with. Marco left after exchanging some words with Nico and gave him some files. He then bid me goodbye and promised that Nico would make sure my father would pay.

I finally got some alone time with Nico and I thought about telling him what his damn secretary said to me, but I figured I shouldn't need to tell him.

"What's wrong? You seem to be thinking a lot recently. I…hmm…want to apologize for what I said about your dad and calling you worthless. I promise to make it up to you,” he said with sincerity in his eyes.

He came closer and looked at me as I stared deep into his blue eyes and perfect cheekbones and I thought to myself if I was actually falling for this man even though I barely knew him.

I was about to say something when his phone rang. He picked up the call and said on the phone, "I told you not to disturb me." A voice came through the phone and I saw his expression darken as he ended the call. I asked what happened and the next thing he said made me lose consciousness.

"Your father is dead!”
