Dirty And Dangerous Obsession

MONALISA POV.

I followed the backdoor and was fortunate to see Doven playing football with Idris. They both stopped when they saw me, and Idris ran toward me, hugging my leg.

I crouched down to his height and smoothed his head, “Can you stay with Uncle Derek while I go get something for a minute?” I asked, searching through his eyes, but he maintained a calm expression staring back at me.

I sighed. I knew the poor kid would wonder where I was off to this time, leaving him under the care of a man he just met a few hours ago. Firstly, it was at the club, and now here. “Idris, if you do not want—-”

“Are you going to see Momma? Please come back with Momma. I want to see my Momma.” He calmly interrupted me and suddenly pulled me into a hug.

I was stunned at his words, wondering how he knew I was going to meet his mother. Did he also feel that something was wrong? I just hope that Candy is fine wherever she is, or else I’ll have to answer to Idris.

I pulled away from the hug and only flashed him a smile because I couldn’t find the right words to say. But one thing is for sure; I’m going to bring back Candy to her son.

I stood up and urged him to go inside, and he obediently did. I strode toward Doven, who had his eyebrows furrowed in confusion. “Where are you off to?” he asked, stepping closer to me.

“Can you drive me to Candy’s home?” I asked instead and shoved my hair behind my ears.

He sighed, “Did something bad happen to her?” he inquired and reached out for my hands, and I broke down in tears.

Tears kept pouring out of my eyes like rain. I don’t want to even imagine that something bad happened to Candy. I don’t want to.

Doven quickly pulled me into a hug. “Tell me,” he urged me, stroking my back.

“I don’t know. I was just talking to her a few minutes ago, and she suddenly began to scream that I should help her. Just when I was about to ask what happened, the call disconnected. I feel like something is wrong, and we need to go to her straight away.” I cried more as I recalled how her voice was filled with panic.

“If that’s the case, then we need to go to her immediately.” He quickly dragged me into his car, but suddenly he halted. “Did you tell the boss?” I veered and asked.

“Does it matter? Please, let’s go.” I muttered between clenched teeth as his hurtful words struck me repeatedly in my head. I’m still bewildered to know this was what he felt for me while I thought there was a future for us.

“Are you crying?” He straightened his hands and wiped away my tears. Fuck! I never knew I was crying already. I guess Derek has succeeded in crushing the last hope I have to love.

I shook my head. “Something entered my eyes, and it hurt.” I fabricated smoothly and hopped into the car while he did the same.

“It is out or—–”

“No need. Just drive.” I wiped my face, while he nodded his head and drove out.

DEREK P. O. V

I kept checking my wristwatch repeatedly, but there was no sight of my bunny, and I became worried. Why is she taking so much time to come back? I wondered who the hell called her on the phone, which prompted her to rush out that way. And the most suspicious part was that she was hiding the caller’s name from me.

But what was I even thinking? That she would cheerfully show me the caller’s name before answering the call or asking for permission to go out? After I had crudely rolled her feelings in the mud.

_I love you, my bunny. So much that it hurts to see you cry because of me, but we can’t be together now. _ I know she might be mad at me, but with time, she would understand that all I’m doing is to protect her. To shield her from all the harm that would come to her the very moment I confess my feelings to her. I don’t want her to end up like Becca. If it means hiding my feelings from her forever, I will do it. Because at this point, my father must not know about my relationship with her.

“She’s beautiful and humble,” my dad complimented, sipping from his glass of coffee. But I know better.

I loudly scoffed, “She’s just my new plaything that will be dumped soon.” I rolled my eyes because I knew my dad and how cunningly he played around with his words.

“But all I saw in her eyes was—–”

I softly chuckled, “Love? You and I know that shit doesn’t exist to me.”

“But you loved her.” He shot me a glare.

“Who?”

He let out a soft chuckle, “Rebecca Alberta, your long-lost love.” His lips straightened into a wild smirk. And instantly, I felt like an arrow was shot into my heart as my hands clenched into a tight fist. “Have you forgotten so soon, or how you coldly—-”

“Enough!!!” I groaned. “Don’t you ever dare!” I angrily stood up and walked away while they burst into laughter.

Bunch of devils from the pit of hell… My only regret was being born to that old man, who was so bent on ruining my life. But I will never let him ruin me any further because my Bunny is off-limits.

I won’t mind breaking the rest of his bones if he dares to hurt my Bunny. He thinks he got away with it the first time, but not anymore.

By the way, where is she? I halted when I came outside, and my gaze wandered around our wild compound, and finally, I spotted a small figure near the pool, and I quickly recognized him to be the smart little kid I saw at my house.

Why is he sitting there alone? I began to approach and slowly sat beside him as I got closer, but I noticed he was lost in thought.

A chuckle escaped my lips, wondering what a four-year-old boy could be thinking about that could make him so absent-minded.

“Sitting alone, big guy?” I whispered, but surprisingly, he was never startled by my presence. Rather, he released a soft sigh, and his shoulders dropped.

“Hello,” he greeted, sparing me a glance.

“Why are you here all alone…. where is your Aunt?” I asked, glancing around but finding no one, not even Doven, except for the servants working around.

He was silent for a while. “Uncle… I’m scared!” he suddenly burst into tears. “Something bad might have happened to my Momma.” He hugged my body, sobbing uncontrollably.

“How did you know? Where is Joanne?” I calmly asked.

“She went to bring my Momma back to me… Uncle, please help her.” He pleaded, holding my hands.

My heart melted at his plea. No doubt he’s deeply hurt, and I have to help him. “Will you stop crying if I help?” I smoothed his head, flashing him a smile, which he quickly reciprocated, nodding his head.

The vibration of my phone caught my attention, and I retrieved it from my pant pocket and placed it on my ear.

“Mob, you need to come to the club. I have all the answers to your questions. It’s about Dominic. I have all his secret pieces of information with me here.” Jaxon’s voice boomed with excitement.

My lips stretched into a smirk. “Idris, I will send you home to stay with Diane while I go search for your mother.” I quickly ordered one of my men to drive him to my mansion.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

While I go check out his mother in the club because that is the only place I can think of. And also received my present from Jaxon.
