Marchetti’s Obsession Chapter 47
Enzo thought for a moment that he had won this battle with Kristin, but she is just a pawn in the Santoro family, one of tt most powerful in Sicily, made up of nine vampires.
-My creature,” Victor greets as his daughter Kristin enters the office.
-Father,” she greets him with two kisses.
“What happened with the crown prince at the meeting? -he asks, anxious to know what the young Marchetti will do.
The marriage contract only offers me whatever he has acquired in the time we have been married, it is unusual and the worst thing is that his bastard was conceived before we were married,” Victor knew that information, but hoped that Ashl would seduce him and bring him back to her side.
~Your mission was clear my child” he says.
-1 know, father, but if I had seen his look of contempt for me, I couldn't even speak to him," he announces. You told me yo would help me keep him with me for eternity,” the vampire leader of the family merely nods to him.
-1 will see to that, Leonardo Marchetti must grant me a meeting to discuss this insult to my daughter” the vampire is not interested in helping the vampire, Victor only wants his family to be recognised and given a place in the king's council. Today the vampire who occupies that place is Astrid’s brother Sam, Leonardo gave it to him because of his sister's braver in giving her life to protect him and because she promised Alejandro to take care of them, Victor feels he deserves that place more than he does.
“What about the divorce? -he asks.
1 want you to sign,” he asks.
-But father...
-Do as I say, -she nods and signs the papers to leave it in Victor's hand who already has plans for this, Kristin is manipulable and will always obey the order of her creator.

-She still refuses to divorce me, but don't worry, the lawyer tells me that if she doesn't sign automatically our marriage w be annulled and I'll be able to marry you," he confesses to Mia as they walk hand in hand through the streets of Cefald, Liam is looked after by his grandmother and they take advantage of this to do something as a couple.
-1 imagine she must be angry," he lets out a sigh.
-1 was hoping it would end nicely.
Kristin is very much in love with you” he says.
she shouldn't be, she’s suffered a lot under the shadow of my ex,” he’s honest with Mia.
should I be worried about that shadow? -she asks, Enzo looks at her and stops. He takes Mia's face so he can place a kis on her lips, she sighs.
~You don’t have to worry. 'm yours now,” she smiles.
-1 like it when you say that,” Mia never expected to feel so possessive and clingy, she's not the type of woman who choos to be emotionally dependent on a guy, but Enzo Marchetti is under her skin and she doesn't want him to get out of it. -And I hope to hear you say one day that you are only mine," he kisses her again and a paparazi takes a picture of him, r knows he has been caught, however, he does not take it seriously and continues to walk with his female through the streets of Cefalil.
On the other hand, the king receives Victor Santoro in his office, it was not usual to see him in the mansion and the last
time was eleven years ago to welcome him and his family to Sicily.
-Mr. Santoro, what brings you here? -The king asks in a direct and straightforward manner,
1 know you know that your son, Enzo is married to one of my creations,” the king looks at him expressionlessly, Leonardc knows enough to cut off the head of the vampire in front of him.
-1 ask you to come to the point,” he orders.
-1 am willing to convince my daughter to give him a divorce.
-1 know well that you don't give anything like that for free and without any interest, -What does Mr. Santoro want? -he as} -A place on the council,” Leonardo lets out a snort.
The rabbit is made up of the five families of Sicily?
The Marchettis, kings, princes and princesses, family of lions and wolves,” he says, “De Lucas, humans, De Giordano, warlocks, De Rizzo, werewolves, and the vampire family of Sam Fischer, I know who is on their council” he informs him, however, this is public knowledge to any supernatural.
The Fischer family does not deserve a place here and their inactivity in Sicily is quite notorious,” he says.
This is a family that earned its place the moment one of their own sacrificed his life to save mine,” he announces as his jaw tightens.
King, I'm not saying anything bad about the Fischer family, I'm expressing what I see and we are qualified to stand up in their council, because we are part of the five families that control Sicily to avoid war and prevent hunters from arriving," I explains, trying to make him see that they deserve a place by his side.
-And I thank you for your collaboration, but that place is taken.
“You are misunderstanding me, your son needs to divorce Kristin...
The divorce will be ready in two weeks, by law it will be official, since there is a period for it to be annulled without Kristin's consent,” she interrupts him.
~Your son is attacking our traditions, we are not happy, for the fact that marriage is sacred and eternal between species, - victor will not give up so easily.
-Our family apologises for this conflict and we are willing to resolve it with the marriage of my son to the young human g as s00n as possible, -the king has everything to gain, because that is what was agreed with the council.
Enzo Marchetti will divorce and marry Mia Lennox, and then he will give his surname to Liam and with that the matter wil be resolved without leaving any kind of conflict or stain on the royalty.
“We're not happy, it's our family's dignity that's at stake,” he reproaches.
“We do what we can so that you are not affected.
The divorce of your son and my daughter will be reason enough to start a war with the other families and you don’t wan to know who will be the first to fall,” she looks at him without expression, Victor is angry, since his plan was for her to accept this divorce and give him his place in the council.
-1 advise you to moderate your words, because to start a war would be the extinction of your own lineage, who will suppc you in this? -Leonardo has been threatened with war and conflict for years, but no one has dared to act in rebellion agair them.
Ym just saying what's coming, we won't stand by and watch a stain grow on our family name.
-She doesn't even bear the Santoro name,” he reminds her.
She's my daughter.
You turned her and I suppose only for this, I hope you understand that what you have done is a plot against the royal family and that you can be locked up for a century,” Leonardo looks at him with his red eyes, Victor swallows knowing tha his head is in danger right now.
My king.
You will withdraw your help to Kristin and take care to keep her away from my family," he orders, “I did not intervene yez ago out of respect for my son, but I will not let a fault like this pass again, I do not want you Mr. Santoro to turn another human without asking for the crown’s permission,” the man nods, Victor nods, to diminish the king he hands him the document with the divorce papers signed by the vampiress.
-1 wish the crown prince a happy wedding” he stands up and bows before leaving the office, Leonardo lets out a sigh, he didn't want to intervene in this, but he is tired of them wanting to take advantage of this situation with Kristin just to get benefits from his family.
He knows that soon he must announce to Enzo that in two years he must take his place as king, he needs to rest and it is enough for him all this time with the crown on his head, Leonardo feels it is time to hand over the throne to the crown prince.
