mafias obsession(1st book in mafia obsession series)

chapter 21: hidden secrets

I didn't mean to walk in there. I didn't mean to find what I did. And I regretted it as soon as I did.

The others were out doing things and i was left home alone so i decided i might as well do some exploring myself. I hadn't been even close to exploring the whole house yet so i was curious as to what else lurked behind the walls. However what i found definetly wasn't what i was prepared for.

The rooms started off with the basic things, guest bedrooms, a second dining area which i suppose most big houses had, a gaming room and a hot tub.

I came across the more richer things too, a swimming pool, an indoor cinema, a couple of luxury offices with completely different aesthetics and a library. 

The library was the thing that amazed me the most. It was beautiful, there was a chandelier hanging from the ceiling in the middle of the room and little lamps near every sitting area. There was two floors to it, the downstairs having more older, legendary books whilst the upstairs had the newer ones. 

I went to the top floor and saw a corner looking like it was made for kids, it reminded me of some of the good times in my childhood. The good moments mainly resolved around books and libraries, specifically when i had a carer who would always take me to one.

I looked through the book titles, running my fingers along the spines and feeling at peace. 

There was book titles like Dork diaries, rainbow fairies and we're going on a bear hunt. But there were more adult types books too, like the Twisted series, King of sin series, The fine print and shatter me. As soon as i saw the other ones a blush appeared on my face, Haunting adeline, Hooked, the never king, a little stranger and pretty girls.They knew dark romances and thrillers? How much more attractive could they get?

For a moment i stared at the covers, lost in my twisted thoughts that should never have appeared.

Eventually i went back to the hallway wondering if there was anything else i missed, and coming across some locked doors. Among the locked doors one cracked open and the door creaked as i opened it. 

It was an office, but it was darker than the others, everything was rustic and made of wood. I saw a file out and out of curiosity went over to it. That was my first mistake. 

The file had a name on it that looked familiar but i wasn't too sure. 

Manuel, beside the name was a surname i was unable to read. 

I opened the file and saw a picture of a man, the rest of the file read everything to know about him. 

Aged 51. 2 known children. 5 known siblings.

Before i read further i closed the file, feeling too connected to it. Wanting to know what else there is, i look in the desk drawer finding nothing more than a few pens and papers, i supposed it made sense but i still felt like there's something here. 

I saw a darker corner that seemed to have some closet there and as soon as i opened the door a gasp escaped my throat. There was a lot more files and there was shelves and shelves of weapons. Guns. Knives. Katanas. Any weapon you could think of was laying in front of me. 

There looked like there could be hundreds of files and as i picked up one by one i saw how much information each one had. There was practically people's entire lives in the files. 

Everyone has secrets amore.

But how many was he keeping? who had i truly fallen in love with?

I went to put the files back before i saw the letters in bold. Allia Dian. Why did he need a file on me? 

I looked at the files and saw that he had information on me not even i knew. Most people would be mad about this Allia. So why aren't you?

i knew it was wrong to see this in a positive light, let alone to feel like i loved him more for it. But for some reason I was less angry and more intrigued, i felt like i was more loved. I mean at the end of the day he took time and effort to find things about me. He found out things that not even i knew. He had files on my life. And not only did it feel loving but more of a relief too. 

I had been questioning for years if i truly went through what my mind and flashbacks showed or said i had, but now i had cold hard proof. 

Plus this felt like he could love me almost as much as i had loved him from the start. Our love was crazy but it was right to us and who else did it matter to? This showed his obsession with me and for some reason that made me even more obsessed with him. Two insanely in love people, with a complete and utter obsession with each other. It was the sort of thing you only heard in fairy tales and had dark dreams about that you would never tell anyone about. That was until now. 

As crazy as it sounds, it felt like i had my own version of Zade meadows. 

Brought back out of my thoughts i put the files back, smiled softly and closed the closet doors behind me. Don't worry mi amore, i'll keep it our little secret.

I walked back into his office, took a final look at it and closed the door behind me.

If only i knew what was to come next, would i feel as loved as this who knew.
