Marchetti’s Obsession Chapter 22
Donato Marchetti
Because of the time difference, we arrive at Los Angeles almost at night, it's a very attractive place, Adriano and I drive to the hotel, he looks very tired.
-Mr. Marchetti, I inform you that one of the reserved rooms is not ready,” I raise my eyebrows in surprise.
-Adriano,” I call out to him, trying to get him to tell me what's going on.
-1 don't know what happened, sir, I took care of everything in time,” he informs me.
“It's our fault, we've had a massive influx and the room I requested isn't ready,” I sigh.
“Which one is available? -1 ask, as I need a shower, a meal and some rest.
-A regular one.
-Good,” he hands me the key.
The worst thing is that this room is small and has only one bed, which is also small. I look at Adriano without understanding what kind of reservation he made.
This is the one I booked for myself,” he confesses.
Do you think you work for a low-budget company? -I ask.
-It's economical,” he says.
Miss Vitale didn't tell you? -I ask, and he looks at me in confusion. The assistants can choose a suite for themselves,” he adds.
His mouth opens in a funny way.
But it's a lot of money,” she whispers.
“The company covers all expenses and even if the attendant wants to eat the most expensive meal, the company will pay for the plate," I tell him.
-sir, 1 apologise and you can take the bed,” 1 sigh.
“I tell him, I walk over to my luggage and grab what I need so I can take a shower.
When I come out the human is arranging the couch where he intends to sleep, I look at him and direct my gaze to his backside, it's inevitable not to get indecent ideas.
The bathroom is available," my voice takes him by surprise, he turns and his gaze sweeps over me. From here I can hear Adrian's heart and it keeps my alpha pride from being hurt, he feels things when he sees me too.
He doesn't say anything and takes some things from his suitcase, he locks himself in the bathroom and I put on a pair of sweatpants, he sent a message to my head of security that he's the one who's going to be in charge of looking for Mia. "Mia Lennox Davis, find her and inform me of her situation” I leave him her home address, Enzo luckily had that in a document.
it doesn't take Adriano long to get out of the shower, I'm glad that at least with that bath he managed to get rid of the disgusting smell of the human, I don't hate humans, however, my assistants boyfriend earns all my contempt for beating him and also because he has him in his hands.
-Good evening, Mr. Marchetti,” he walks over to the couch.
1 wouldn't mind sharing the bed with you,” I report. -The couch is small and I want my assistant to rest," I add.
I thank you, sir, but I don't want to be a bother, I've already caused you a lot of discomfort by putting you in a common room,” he says.
-Don't worry, it's not a nuisance,” he shovels one side of the bed. You sleep here and I'll sleep over there,” I point to the other side of the mattress.
Adriano looks at the sofa and then at the bed, sighs and does as I ask.
Thank you, sir.
“You can call me Donato," he just nods and lies down on his side, I don't push him to trust me, I lie down in my space and doesn't take long for me to fall asleep.
Adriano D'angelo
When I wake up I thought I was next to Jhonatan, the warmth of his body is so incredible that it makes me hide my face ir his side, I sigh when his smell invades my nostrils, it's like being in the middle of a meadow full of many kinds of flowers, think I should ask him what soap he's using.
I remain calm until my brain reminds me that I'm not in my bed with Jhonatan and that the man I'm hugging is my boss, I move quickly and fall to the ground.
-I groan,” I groan, Mr. Marchetti immediately climbs down from the bed and the first thing I see is his bare feet. I look up leg covered by those sweatpants and shit, my boss has a morning erection leaning heavily to the left side.
I can't help but be embarrassed to notice this, I stand up with his help and his face looks concerned, I can tell that Mr. Marchetti doesn't realise he has an erection.
-Are you all right? -It's surprising the way he takes my face to inspect it, Jhonatan would be laughing his head off for falli on me like that and then telling me I'm a fool.
Yes... yes, sir,’ I stammer, Mr. Marchetti doesn't take his hand off my face and from this angle I confirm that he is quite a handsome man.
Ym taking up more space than necessary, it's my fault you fell,’ he says.
“It was just a fall, don’t worry," I pull away from his grip.
“You could have hit your head, do you want me to call a doctor? -he asks.
-Really, Mr. Marchetti, I feel fine," the man nods doubtfully.
-Well, order breakfast,” he asks before going to the bathroom. It's intense, God, I can’t look at this man with different eyes he's my boss and I have a boyfriend, I say to myself.
“Boyfriend who beats you and humiliates you” I rack my head, Jhonatan is complicated, but he loves me and has always been there for me.
“He doesn't even introduce you as his boyfriend, you're pathetic” I sigh, I chant in my mind to stop tormenting myself wit how pathetic my relationship is. My boss comes out wrapped in a white dressing gown and I'm thankful for that, as last night he was in a towel showing off his sculpted body and I'm not going to deny he’s a very sexy man.
“Andriano, did you order breakfast? -he questions.
-God, no," he stares at me, with this stupid behaviour, he won't hire me in his company.
-Don't worry, I'l order it.
I nod and go to the bathroom, I look at myself in the mirror and feel pathetic, I can't even fulfil a request from my boss ai everything goes wrong, I'm not ready for this job and maybe Jhonatan was right, I'm useless.

“What does my diary say? -1 check the tablet trying not to look at my boss putting on his shirt.
~You should report to Mr. Miller's company, it's a yacht company, they will offer you a recognition for the boat you designed," I explain.
I look at him when he finished buttoning his shirt “I don't understand how he can smell like that if he hasn't even spraye perfume, I guess it must be a soap” I think.
Well, shall we go? - nod to him and together we leave the hotel.
I've never been to the United States before, it's my first time and everything seems incredible to me. We arrive at the company, my boss stands out in the middle of everyone and he expresses himself with a lot of professionalism, Donato Marchetti is a clear example for any young person to follow and in the business world I know everything about him.
He is only twenty-eight years old, I don't know much about his family, but I know he has a twin brother and he is just as professional as Donato, they built this empire of boat, yacht and other water vehicle designs. They are of Sicilian origins. and the mother is American, there is not much information you can find on the internet about them.
Jhonatan got angry when I told him 1 would be away for so many weeks and more with a man I admire, that's why we argued and the rest is history, sigh, I love him, however, there are times when I want to leave him. He's a nice guy who ha done a lot for me, we don’t have the best relationship, as it's all a secret, I don't even know his family.
The meeting lasts about two hours, and then we go to a restaurant and Donato walks away with his head of security, han him a folder and returns to the table.
-Is something wrong? -1 ask.
Do I have another meeting? -he asks, avoiding my questioning, I think it was a bit out of place.
-No, Mr. Marchetti,” I answer.
“Well, go back with Usik to the hotel” he orders before leaving the restaurant.
The way he left leaves leaves me with many questions, however, what happens seems to be a personal matter and I am n confident enough to question him.

When I arrive at the hotel I try to make sure my boss's room is ready for his arrival, however, the suite is not available, I sigh, I guess I will have to sleep with Mr. Marchetti tonight too, I hope he doesn't mind, I walk around the place and my phone rings. I look at the name of the caller and it's Jhonatan, I smile.
Hello love.
Baby, how are you?” he asks.
Everything is fine, and you?
Missing you, how's work? -1 sigh.
The reality is that I don’t think I'm going to stay working at the company. You were right, I'm a failure,” I whisper.
-Did your boss do something to you? -he questions.
-Mr. Marchetti, he's a good man, he’s very nice,” I answer.
-I see, I don't want you to go near that guy,” he says with disgust, I avoid telling him the part where I sleep next to him. -It's okay love, don't worry.
ll talk to you later” he hangs up.
He doesn't even let me say another word and I know it bothers him that I'm away from him, he didn't want me to accept this job offer, but I would never refuse to work with the best businessman in Italy. I go back to the room and Mr. Marchett is still not here, I go to the shower and I have a horrible pain in my abdomen.
I gasp and have no idea what is happening to me, I kneel down in front of the toilet and expel everything I have eaten, th pain doesn't stop and my head hurts a lot, I get up as best I can and am surprised by my reflection, as my eyes are a very bright colour.
I blink and they are in their usual colour, I think I am raving, I walk to the shower and wash my body, I don't know what is happening to me and I don't want to get sick, God how awful to get sick in the most important moment of my life.
When I finish showering, I put on my pyjamas and get into bed where I immediately fall asleep in the fetal position, as th pain in my belly is unbearable.
