Tangled Obsession

Authors pov

"Why you look so disturbed florina, I think it's good. Sebastian will be out of your way and you can be with vincenzo... Right?..."

How badly I want to snatch that Fucking smirk from her face.

I couldn't answer her, my throat tightened when I saw Sebastian talking to Scarlett, how can he do that. If he wants to marry her then why is he making my life difficult. He said something to Scarlett and her wide smile fell, looks like she will burst into tears at any moment.

Did he rejected her.

I also found vincenzo surrounded by women and I swear I am fucked up in my mind because I felt pang of jealously when I saw that site. Why all the women in the party has eyes on them. Vincenzo was quiet, giving no fucks as always, after few minutes he excused himself from them and I internally smiled.

What the hell is wrong with me... Florina they are not your men, you don't want them... Remember?

But then why is it so difficult to see them with someone else.

Sebastian and vincenzo both walked towards me at the same time and I saw Catherine walking away from me.

Vincenzo pecked my lips followed by Sebastian, I could hear people gasping and murmuring. I kind of expected that reaction.

"So you chose my dress..."

Sebastian said arrogantly and vincenzo frowned.

"I gave you this dress, right?..."

Vincenzo said and Sebastian looked at me confused.

"You both gave me the same kind of dress... Now I'll leave it to your imagination to think that whose dress I am wearing..."

I said firmly because I am not ready for the fucking drama.

They both sighed like they are frustrated by this.

"Dance with me..."

They both said in unison and held their hands for me to take.

Here we go again, with whom should I dance first. I am sure other won't take it well.

Closing my eyes I took breath.

They were waiting for me Take a hand and I did what I think is right. I took their hands. They were taken aback for a moment.

"I still have two weeks to choose..."

Both of them thought for a second, I don't know what they are thinking but I am sure they will refuse to dance together.

I am sure!

They looked at each other and then at me. My all hope crashed down when they both lead me towards the dance floor. What the fuck, they agreed to dance together... Why?

I could hear people murmuring, my eyes darted towards the Catherine who was looking at me with unknown expressions.

Scarlett was glaring at me with glossy eyes, I almost felt bad for her.

Vincenzo swirled me around and I landed on Sebastian's chest, we three started dancing together. It was more like they are making me dance, how they got so much synchronization. Why they are so alike. "You look so breathtaking, butterfly..."

Sebastian whispered as we swayed and vincenzo took the lead by taking hold of me.

"Red definitely suits you, piccolo"

He too complimented me.

My whole attention was on the crowd who has went silent, it was only music on which we were dancing. Everyone in the hall looked stunned and why won't they. I myself can't believe that these two men are doing this. Yesterday they tried to blackmail me, few days ago they almost killed each other. I seriously can't understand them.

The song ended and Everyone clapped, heat rushed in my body by all the scrutinizing gaze I was receiving from the crowd. I didn't bother to look at them and walked away. Suddenly I am feeling suffocating. I head towards the garden while taking a drink from the waiter on the way. Sitting down on the bench I took deep breaths.

"My my... That was something unbelievable."

I heard Catherine, she sat beside me with amused look. I can smell alcohol in her breath, she is drunk.

"It wasn't something amusing Catherine, you shouldn't be so surprised..."

I said sipping my own drink.

"It was dear, It was..."

She chuckled.

"But let me tell you, you are playing a very dangerous game. At the end you are the only one who will be broken, thrown away like some trash..."

"What do you mean?..."

What the fuck she meant by 'thrown away like some trash'

"Let me explain"

She said in slurry voice.

"Sebastian and vincenzo always gets interested in the same thing which lead a fight between them. House, cars, hotels, bars, properties even islands, they both always has an eye for the same thing. You mus have understood by now, your gown is one of the example."

She pointed towards my dress. Why I have a feeling that she is gonna tell me something bad.

"And how do they solved it?"

I asked finishing my drink to tame my dry throat.

"They play politics, harm each other and do everything in their power to get it. They can easily get another property or whatever they want instead of fighting over one thing but they won't, their ego doesn't let them do that. None of them back up, every fucking time it's about ego and power. The desire of letting each other down and snatch the things from other, it's been always like this..."

By now I have understood that it's just a war of ego. Matthew said the same.

"But at least one of them is winning at the end..."

I said.

She laughed sending chills in my body, it holds mocking and evilness.

"My dear... This is where you are wrong."

She looked at my confused face and continued her laughing.

"Okay, I'll explain... Once vincenzo and Sebastian was fighting over a Island, after two years of legal and illegal actions, politics and dirty games vincenzo won it and Sebastian decided to let it go... But the interesting thing is as soon as Sebastian lost his interest in the island, vincenzo lost his interest too. Now that island is just a piece of land, abandoned."

I don't like this woman, I don't know why but I don't. She is throwing the truth on my face like a cold water. I know it's true but I don't want to believe in it, it's heartbreaking.

I stayed silent letting her complete her talking.

"Same happens with Sebastian. When he wins against vincenzo he too abandoned the things."

Her amber eyes looked up and down at me with pity and I don't like it. I hate this look.

"And Same thing gonna happen to you florina. It doesn't matter who wins you, Sebastian or vincenzo. You will be abandoned after this war is over. Whoever wins you will leave you because other has lost the interest... Either way you will be hurt and broken..."

She stood up from the bench with a sigh.

"Make your choice wisely. I think you can change the history..."

She winked at me and head inside. How the fuck I am supposed to change the history.

Is it true?... Will they leave me too. How can they be so cruel. They are just playing with my life.....☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
