My Biggest Obsession

We found out Ivory was on a blacklist. The bastard that took her when she was a child, wants her back; he's a fool if he thinks we are going to let this happen. If he thinks I'm going to let this happen.I looked at her when I was reading Kirill's message. I studied her features, her reactions, her words.A stranger could see that she's traumatized. I don't know what he did to her, but I swear on my life that the day I'll find out, I'll destroy him. The way she said that she clearly prefers dying instead of going back there with him, makes me feral. I noticed her episodes... No. Her nightmares. I didn't say it but I noticed, all the nights I heard her whispering, crying, or screaming in her sleep. Her sleep isn't peaceful. During the night, that's where her demons come back. And I don't know why it bothers me the way it does. I shouldn't pay attention to that. That makes me hate her even more.

I fucking despise her soul, her whole being, herself.

Yes, I do. There's no doubt about that. But I have to admit; sometimes she's distracting me. Damn it, I don't know, wanting to elucidate her obsesses me. I know I should stay away from her. I'm not good for her. But I don't give a fuck.

Ivory said it herself; I'm a monster. And she's completely right.

We're both in the kitchen right now, and I don't know what to do. She's looking at something on the floor, but her gaze is empty. I wonder what she can possibly find on the floor, and she didn't eat anything that's in front of her.

She looks fucking... Sad.

"What are you thinking about?" I asked her, really concerned.

"Nothing." Her gaze met mine and it felt like I was seeing everything in her eyes. I let out a sigh.

"Bullshit. You've been staring at the floor for fucking twenty minutes now, and you haven't eaten anything. I might be an asshole but I'm not fucking dumb so don't test my patience."

I didn't like her lying to me, pretending to be fine when she wasn't.

She rolled her eyes. "I'm not hungry."

"You're unbelievable." I scoffed.

"What's the thing I need to attend tonight?"

"We're going into a club." I announced firmly.

"A club? Why?"

"I have to say a few things to a few people. And I also have to get information." I answered her question.

"You're not going to tell me more about that, are you?"

"Absolutely not."

"Ah yeah. I almost forgot; Aace Rossi the mysterious and dark guy is back." She snorted out, mockingly.

"There are things you don't need to know."

"Why? Because I'm a weak woman? Who doesn't know how to defend herself?" She gritted through her teeth.

"No. Not because you're a woman, and we're both aware here, that you know how to defend yourself. I just don't want you to die." I told her.

"Like I wasn't already on a blacklist, with a bunch of men who would love to kidnap me for money." She sighed.

"I dare them." I laughed, bitterly.

She rolled her eyes, "Whatever you say."

She didn't fucking believe me.

"You should rest. And then get dressed. It's going to be a long night." I advised her.
What I'm saying is true, but I was also saying this because I could clearly see the dark circles under her eyes.

Fuck, does she even sleep?

My phone rang in my pocket and I answered. It was my brother Luca.

"Yeah, what is it ?"

"Hey my dear brother. I'm fine, thanks for asking." I could hear the sarcasm dripping in his voice.

"Go straight to the point."

"Are you coming tonight with us?" He asked.

"Of course I'm going to be there. What did you expect ?"

"Good. I didn't want to stand there alone." I heard the relief in his voice.

"Fortunately for you, I'm always here to save your ass."

I heard him chuckle.

"Ivory is coming too?"

"Yes. Why?"

"I was just asking, calm the fuck down. And I have the right to, soon she'll be my sister in law."

I clenched my jaw. "Don't remind me. She's fucking unbelievable. She's a pain in my ass."

"Don't be too harsh on her, it's only her way to protect herself." He said through the phone.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean I was there when we found her in Sweden. She was... Pretty messed up... I'm just saying that you should earn her trust, or be a little bit less of an asshole with her." He was sounding like my father scolding me right now.

I scoffed. "You wouldn't say that if you were forced to marry a woman."

"I get your point, but still, that girl went through some shit. Don't make her life more difficult than it already is. Listen, she's fucking tough and all, but don't forget that she's broken too."

I sighed, somehow knowing he was right.

"A few years ago, I heard our parents talking with the Carillos. Apparently Ivory didn't talk for a whole month after they found her." I wasn't aware of what my brother just told me.

"I think I got it." I hung up. I needed a cigarette because I'm going to explode.

Luca is my eldest brother. He was supposed to become the leader of the Mafia in a few years since he's the eldest. But then he met Aurelia; and he fell in love with her so deeply that when she told him she didn't like him going on missions, having the risk of getting killed, that he abdiqued the rights of the eldest son, to continue the legacy. I was eighteen when he did this, which made him stay in the role of an assassin. He'll never be the leader.

So his rights were given to me. And it was me who's going to be the leader in a few years when my father will stop doing it.

I was mad at first. Because a lot of responsibilities were put on my shoulders, at such a young age. But I got used to it, and I wasn't not angry at him anymore.

He did it all for her. All for love. And I absolutely didn't see why.

It's fucking ridiculous.
