Mafia's Obsession - The CEO's Contracted Songbird Chapter 136 - Making the Dreaded Call
MariaIt felt like the cold from that place had followed us home.Clung to us. Settled deep into our bones. The house—usually warm, alive, full—felt hollow. Muted. Like even the walls knew.Luigi and Stefano were waiting when we walked in. They didn’t ask. They didn’t need to.One look at Liam—And everything was understood. He was… shattered. Not crying anymore. Not shouting. Just… gone. Empty in a way that was far more frightening.Luigi moved first, pulling him into a tight embrace, holding him like he could somehow piece him back together. But Liam didn’t respond. Didn’t react. He just… stood there. Broken.We had no choice. We called in the doctor had given something to calm him, to force his body to rest when his mind refused. We sat with him until his eyes finally closed, holding onto my hand with a death grip.Even then… it didn’t feel like enough. Nothing would be. Not for this.Luigi turned to me next, pulling me into his arms. I let myself lean into him—just for a second.
Mafia's Obsession - The CEO's Contracted Songbird Chapter 135 - I Left Her In the Cold
LiamI couldn’t remember the drive. Not a second of it.One moment I was in the house… the next I was stepping out in front of the OCME facility in Manhattan.Maria had handled everything. Security. Driver. Calls. All of it. All while holding onto my hand like it was the only thing keeping me anchored.Maybe it was. Because somewhere between that phone call and this building… I had started to come apart.She signed us in. The corridor was quiet. Too quiet. And then I saw him. Denton. Standing in the passage like a wall—solid, unmoving, carrying something heavy in the set of his shoulders.I recognised him instantly. From the exchange. From the stories. He stepped forward when he saw Maria and leaned in, pressing a kiss to her cheek.But it was his eyes that did it. That look. Grief. Rage. Something final. And just like that—The last fragile thread of hope I’d been clinging to snapped.This wasn’t a mistake. This wasn’t some unknown girl, a Jane Doe that they thought was her. This was
Mafia's Obsession - The CEO's Contracted Songbird Chapter 134 - It Must Be Done...For Her
Denton Time was playing tricks on me. Too fast. Too slow. Both at once.I stood upstairs, staring out at nothing in particular, jaw tight as the seconds dragged and yet slipped through my fingers all the same. Every lead, every call, every move—we were chasing shadows while the clock kept ticking louder in my head.No sleep. Not really. Every time I closed my eyes—Her screams. Over and over. Raw. Broken. Pleading.I let out a humourless breath, dragging a hand down my face. Irony was a vicious bastard. I had thrown those words at Adriano in anger—that he would live with her screams for the rest of his life.And now? That was all I heard. The cruellest joke of all.I forced myself back to the present. There was still work to do. Always work. I had just wrapped up the last of the arrangements—Manhattan apartment being packed up, everything redirected. Calls made to have the family house in the Cotswolds fully readied.It had always been maintained. But I had rarely lived there. That wo
Mafia's Obsession - The CEO's Contracted Songbird Chapter 133 - When No News I'd Good News
MariaIt was driving me crazy. Standing on the patio on a Tuesday afternoon, and slowly losing my mind.The thought circled my mind over and over, like a word on the tip of my tongue that refused to form. Every piece was there—every clue, every instinct—but it wouldn’t *click*.And the quiet made it worse.When Luca and Adriano left early Monday morning—to check in on their businesses, to warn their captains, to prepare for what might come—the house lost its noise. Its life. Too much silence. Too much space to think. A full house had been a blessing in disguise. Distraction. Movement. Purpose.Now… it was just me and my thoughts. And Liam. He had become my saving grace without even knowing it.The more time I spent with him, the more I saw Adriano in him. That restless energy. The way a half-smile would tug at his lips before breaking into something warmer, fuller. The way he tried to appear composed but couldn’t quite hide the storm beneath.He was running his operations from here,
Mafia's Obsession - The CEO's Contracted Songbird Chapter 132 - Storming the Castle
LiamThe universe had clearly decided this was *mess with Liam* week.Everything I thought I knew—everything I had built myself on—had been ripped out from under me.My siblings feared me. I had wanted—lusted and *obsessed over*—my own sister without knowing who she was to me.My entire life had been shaped by truths that weren’t truths at all. And now? Now I was sitting with a traitor that was posing as my best friend and second, who had murdered my father and was chasing power...mine.I let out a slow breath, staring out the window for a second before turning back into the room.My father…Seamus. He had a blood son. Remi. That I had resented, envied. Been encouraged and coached from behind the scenes to do so. And yet he had trained me, groomed me and above all else... he chose *me*.I didn’t deserve that. Didn’t deserve the loyalty he had given me… the love… the trust.But he hadn’t raised me to fold under pressure. He hadn’t raised me to *quit*. And I would be damned if the same

DentonA storm was rolling in.I could see it on the horizon—the sky bruising over in deep greys, the wind picking up, dragging the salt-heavy air across the deck. The ocean had turned restless, waves rising higher, crashing harder against the shoreline.Violent. Unpredictable.This time of year the Hampton beachline was mostly empty. Just a few locals—someone jogging with their hood up, a man throwing a ball for his dog, both of them fighting against the wind.Normal life. It felt far removed from mine. I rested my forearms on the railing, staring out at the water, but my mind wasn’t on the storm.It was on her. And on *that* call. Maria.I huffed out a breath, shaking my head slightly. Arianna would have liked her. Hell… I liked her.Good woman. Strong in that quiet way that didn’t need to announce itself. The kind of person people underestimated—until it was too late.And she had come close. Closer than anyone so far. “She is probably safest wherever she is…” My own words echoed ba
Mafia's Obsession - The CEO's Contracted Songbird Chapter 107 - Pretty Boys Get Diamonds
Liam I don’t know how sleep found me… but it did.And for once—it was merciful. It had been dreamless. No screams. No echo of her voice breaking apart in my head…“Liam… brother…”Just… nothing. Dark. Quiet. Empty.I woke after eight, staring at a ceiling that wasn’t mine, the weight of everything
Mafia's Obsession - The CEO's Contracted Songbird Chapter 104 - The Broken Bond
RemiIt was Friday. And on the surface…everything said I was fine.The operation had gone well. No rejection. No infection. Vitals holding and steady. Strong. *Textbook recovery*, they said.If things held like this…I’d be outta this joint by next week. Free. And I could back to Arianna…where I b
Mafia's Obsession - The CEO's Contracted Songbird Chapter 99 - Secrets from the Loaded Letter Part 1
Luigi The memory from yesterday flickered—too much tension, too much at stake—and then that letter… changing everything in the middle of it all. And now across me, Luca and Liam waited, eyes sharp for me to continue. And I suppose like any story worth telling, the best place to start was the begi
Mafia's Obsession - The CEO's Contracted Songbird Chapter 86 - Time to be a Big Brother
LiamAnd now—I watched in real time as my little sister was tortured. Begging, screaming, crying. For help, for rescue for me to save her and for me for all my manpower and resources could do nothing. I wasn’t there, where ever there was. I had unleashed the wrath of a son and I couldn’t reach h
