Marchetti’s Obsession Chapter 53
Mia Lennox
I watch Enzo cut his barbar himself and there is no doubt in my mind that he is the most attractive image of all. A towel covering his lower body, shaving cream on his jaw and his brow furrowed because he’s so focused on getting it right. “Your stalker look distracts me,” he announces, glancing sideways at me.
“It's my fiancé’s fault he's so sexy,” he laughs and looks at me.
Very flattering” he says. And now that I remember, why did you shave? -1 blush, I don’t understand how he can jump fror one topic to another like that.
-Don't you like me? -1 ask.
“1 love you anyway, baby," he glances at the mirror, “You don't have to shave for me,” he adds.
-Vll keep that in mind, -'m not a wax lover and all that.
Ashley's looking for you," she announces, I guess I hear her with her heightened senses.
“We'll go shopping, see you later," I lean in close and she leans down so I can kiss her lips goodbye.
Take care and buy whatever you want,” I smile.
-Don't complain later.
He winks at me and I leave the bathroom to go in search of my best friend. Enzo has given me an unlimited shopping car since I have to buy the wedding dress and everything I want for that important day for both of us.
Since the night he asked me to be his wife, we haven't made love again, Enzo told me that he wants to wait until we get married to get back together. I didn't refuse, because I think its nice to do things that way and look forward to that day when we go to enjoy our honeymoon.

The dress is beautiful, but it's not your style,” I've tried on about ten designs, Ashley disapproves of some and the triplet alike.
There is a dress that arrived yesterday from France, would you like to try it on? -asks the shop assistant.
-Of course,” I say, she leaves to look for it, it is complicated to find a wedding dress and the worst thing is that I will only wear it once, however, that will be the happiest day of my life.
The woman comes back with two girls who help her carry the dress, it's huge and they had to help me to put it on, I look. myself in the mirror and I love it. It is tight at the top of my body, while from my waist down it is loose and quite long wit a silk fabric covering from the top to the end of the train.
-Beautiful,” the girls agree that this is the one for my wedding in two weeks time, Enzo gave me dates and I decided to choose the one I assumed he wanted.
The girls and I go to the mall to buy a few things, I can't help but buy Liam a nice jumpsuit, it will look beautiful on him. ()
When I come back I go straight to the pool, Enzo is there with Liam in a hammock, he looks at me and smiles. Our son is asleep on his chest, my little boy is already big even though he is almost four months old.
-How was your day? -he asks.
“Well, I've already bought the dress and there are only a few improvements to be made,” I say.
1 can't wait to see you walking down the aisle with it on,” she replies.
-And what have you done? -I ask.
I've been hanging out with this little guy, I think he got a whiff of me and he started crying, he had no choice but to hanc him over to me and he's already asleep, -Mrs. Kara was supposed to be spending the day with Liam, but seeing Enzo playing daddy is cute.
-Mr. Marchetti,” one of the young lady who works in the house, brings Liam's car. Here you go,” he nods and she leaves, as Enzo doesn't want to wake up the boy, he takes him from her chest to lay him down in the carriage.
-Come here baby,” she stretches out her hand and makes me lie next to her in the hammock. My future wife,” he smiled. -Madame de Marchetti," I say.
-My Mrs. Marchetti, my queen and my world.
My phone rings and 1 take it out of my trousers, it's a message in the post and when I open it I find a video attached. At tt moment my heart constricts painfully, it's my dad, gagged and tied to a chair, his face beaten.
If you get married, he dies” said the message.
“What the F**k is that? -the mobster picks up the phone and plays the video.
-Enzo,” I whisper, my voice cracking, trying to control the tears of terror that want to come out.
Calm down, little girl," he gets out of the hammock. I'll find out who's doing this,” Enzo walks away taking my phone and leaving me with my heart full of worry.
My dad is in danger.
Enzo Marchetti
I show the video to my father, because with his influence it will be quicker to find Mr. Lennox unharmed.
The only person who would want to harm Mia right now is Kristin,” he replies.
-1 don't think she’s capable of doing something like that,’ I can't imagine that she would ever harm anyone.
Son, you can't think that Kristin would overlook the fact that you left her, she became a vampire to be by your side for eternity,’ 1 sigh.
“I have to talk to her, I can't just judge her," I tell her, because deep down I have faith that she can change and realise tha she can find someone who will make her truly happy.
-1 advise against it, but I know how foolish you can be and I'll just ask you to be careful,’ I nod, thanking her for her advic and asking her to keep me updated on the information she gets.
I follow Mia's scent into the living room where she is accompanied by Ashley, I can tell she is desperate and she immediately approaches me.
“What did she say?
-My father has put all his men out looking for him, we'll find him," I caress her cheek.
it's all my fault...
-My queen, none of this is your fault,” I sigh. The only one to blame is me, I shouldn't have been so confident in my powes and 1 had to assign escorts to your family, -I say, I don't understand what I was thinking, I didn't care about your people and now look what's happening.
“When my mother finds out?
Find out about what? -Mrs. Lennox arrives just at this moment, I look at her and she has a frown on her face. My mother has become friends with my fiancée’s mother, they go out very often for shopping, tea and strolling the streets of Cefal. Mia can't help crying, I hug her and have no choice but to confess to Mrs. Lennox that her husband has been kidnapped, she immediately cries in despair and is on the verge of fainting.
The hours continue to pass and the anguish in the women of the Lennox family increases as there is no more news about the kidnapper. Mia's phone is being tapped to trace where the email was sent from, but whoever did this was able to cov their tracks well and leaves the idea that the person behind it is a professional.
-My queen,” I bring my hand to her hair so I can massage her scalp. You must rest, get some sleep and I will continue to wait for news," she denies immediately.
-I can't, my father is in danger and we don't even know where he is.
1 know and believe me when I say that the person behind all this is going to pay,” his eyes connect with mine.
“What if it's Kristin? -he interjects.
-1 don't think she’s capable of kidnapping your father.
-How can you think that way? -he questions. She's the only one who benefits from our wedding being cancelled,” he adds “Mia's absolutely right, and maybe I'm protecting the one who's to blame for everything.
I'l call her I walk away from everyone.
I £0 to the garden, take out my phone and look for the number of the vampire who answers on the first ring.
Enzo.
Kristin, if you have kidnapped my fiancée’s father, I advise you to let him go," I say bluntly.
-I'm in Cefalii, hotel costa verde,” she hangs up.
I g0 back to the living room, I don’t know what expression to put at the moment, I sit down next to Mia and hold her hanc “What happened? -She asks, it's the most awkward thing, since my family is here.
-She asks me to come and see her,” my father immediately changes his expression.
-Do I confirm that I have it? -he asks.
“No,” he says, “he can't send soldiers for her, because I haven't confirmed that I have it, and the last thing he wants is to start a conflict with the Santoros.
See,” looks at Mia.
Mia.
She trusts you, she wants you to go, go and make her confess,” he asks.
I kiss her lips and withdraw, Kristin won't be saved from going to prison if she has Mr. Lennox, since he belongs to the roy family and even though he wanted her to be happy, she got herself into trouble on her own.
