Dangerously Tempted Chapter Sixty-One - Half The Battle Won
Three Years LaterMatteo entered his shop and smiled at his team. They had stuck with him through thick and thin, and battled all hardships. Even when he had returned to New York under the protection of the US Marshals Service, they were there by his side. He had expected them to close the shop down but later found out that they were all working inside every day, relentlessly for him. They were operating discreetly, taking orders from known sources only. It earned them enough to run the shop smoothly without giving them away. Matteo was indebted to them for upholding his dream. “Last night the FBI and the DIA had raided the Cartello della Vendetta's secret hideout and arrested every member of their gang, including Costello,” said Matteo with relief. It was a top-secret mission, and Matteo just heard about its success from Derek Walsh. In the last three years, Derek, Tim, and Stanley had become their pillar of support, protecting them effectively against every threat. It was because
Dangerously Tempted Chapter Sixty-Two - Was Alphonso Di Salvo Alive?
At last the moment arrived, and Matteo whisked Amelia away inside their bedroom. Breathless, Amelia gaped at him with surprise. What was wrong with him tonight? He seemed desperate to have her all alone to himself. “What’s the plan tonight?” she chuckled, but he pulled her into the bed with him. “I want to enjoy the night with you. You can’t imagine how happy I am today.” He kissed her neck, her mouth and gazed deeply into her eyes. “I know. I hope they capture Luigi soon. I don’t want to waste another three years of my life,” said Amelia with a sigh. “We don’t have to waste it. We can live normally but with a little caution.” Amelia cupped his cheek, hesitating to ask what was on her mind. “How can we live a normal life, Matteo? Luigi is still roaming free. We can’t plan a family even after three years of marriage. I’m tired,” she said with a sigh for the first time in three years. He stroked her hair tenderly, holding her gaze. “I didn’t expect it to drag on for three years, C
Dangerously Tempted Chapter Sixty-Three - The NSM Captured
For the rest of the drive, Matteo sat in a dazed state. He was sure he had seen Di Salvo in the car. Was he tailing him? If he was alive, why wasn’t he taking his revenge on Luigi and killing him already? “Tired or worried?” asked Freddie, noticing his silence. “Both,” said Matteo without elaborating further. They reached, and Matteo went to his apartment while Freddie went to the shop. Matteo rang the doorbell absent-mindedly, wondering why Di Salvo was following him around. What could he want from him? Marcello opened the door with a wide grin on his face. “Emilia, come quick,” he yelled at the sight of his older brother. It brought Matteo out of his daze, and he gave Marcello a quizzical look. “What’s up now?” he asked as he entered his home. He saw the wide grin on his Mama’s face too. “Guess what?” asked Marcello, wiggling his eyebrows excitedly. Amelia came out of her bedroom and smiled at him. Matteo understood from everyone’s reaction that she might be pregnant. Yet he
Dangerously Tempted Chapter Sixty-Four - Shocking Deaths
“We haven’t heard from Luigi for almost three months. According to police evidence, he died three months ago in a fight with Costello and his men. A week later, we nabbed Costello and his gang,” said Walsh. Matteo gaped at him in disbelief. When did Luigi die? How did they have no information on this? “Are you sure? I don’t believe this. I can smell foul play. Maybe he has escaped,” said Matteo with a deep frown marring his features. It was the most baffling news he had ever heard. Was that the reason Rafael called them? “The FBI is investigating his mysterious death. I think it has been staged, but the evidence and post-mortem report are totally fool-proof. In the meantime, the FBI is interrogating the gang members they have arrested.” “I really hope this is true. With Luigi’s death, we can lead a free life,” said Matteo with a smile of relief on his face. “Yes. Let’s wait for the results of the investigation.” Walsh stayed with them for the next few days until the FBI invest
Dangerously Tempted Chapter Sixty-Five - Rafael's Misdeeds
It was the most devastating news Matteo had ever heard, but the need to revive Amelia was upmost on his mind. “We have to revive her. She’s pregnant!” he said, patting her cheek to help her gain consciousness. Megan gasped and got up to get some water. She returned in a few minutes and sprinkled water on Amelia’s face. “Emilia! Please open your eyes,” begged Matteo, looking lost. “I’m sorry, Matteo. I shouldn’t have told her the devastating news so bluntly. I didn’t know her condition was so delicate.” Matteo sprinkled some more water and patted her cheeks. “It wasn’t your fault. You don’t know what she went through for the last three years. It was more than anyone could handle,” said Matteo with a sigh. Amelia blinked when Matteo sprinkled more water on her face. She sputtered and opened her eyes wide, looking at them in a dazed state. “Matteo, what happened to me?” she whispered hoarsely. “Nothing, Tesoro. You just lost your consciousness. I’m sure you’ll be fine if you reste
Dangerously Tempted Chapter Sixty-Six - Devastated By Her Accusations
The next day, Matteo accompanied Megan to the hospital to get Ryan discharged. He would have to remain under bedrest until he was better. Amelia and Alex waited for him at home. Last night after Matteo explained to her about his condition, she felt bad for her older brother. However, considering her delicate state, Matteo couldn’t tell her about Gia’s ordeal. Maybe he would explain everything to her before they left for LA. Amelia and Alex sat in the front yard, waiting for them. “Will you stay with us forever, Aunt Amy?” asked Alex. “I can’t stay here forever, sweetie, but I’ll surely visit you soon. You can come down to New York when my baby is born.” Alex turned to her excitedly. “Baby? Where is your baby now?” Amelia stroked his hair off his face and smiled at his enthusiasm. “It’s growing inside my tummy now,” she explained patiently. “Oh, really? Are you sick? Is it a boy or a girl, Aunt Amy?” he asked, touching her tummy with wide eyes. “I’m not sick, just a little tired.
Dangerously Tempted Chapter Sixty-Seven - Luigi Is Alive And Back
Lost in his thoughts Matteo walked down the street, unaware that he had left the residential neighborhood far behind him. Amelia’s accusations disturbed him to the brink of losing his mind. He cared little about himself, having always lived dangerously. It was the thought he failed her which gripped his heart. A car screeched to a halt beside him, bringing him out of his reverie. He instantly stopped in his tracks to look and froze immediately upon seeing two men emerge from the car. Were they here to get him? He couldn’t take the risk of being captured! Matteo ran into the shopping mall he had just crossed. He could hear the footsteps of the men chasing him. So he was right. They were here to grab him! But who were they? With Costello’s men and the NSM arrested, who would want to capture him now? He entered the mall and hid behind a wall. As he looked outside, he gasped with shock at seeing Luigi standing at the entrance with the men. So Luigi was alive! He had produced fake evide
Dangerously Tempted Chapter Sixty-Eight - Matteo Saves Alex
“Don’t stop. Please follow that car. They’re kidnapping my nephew!” said Matteo to the cab driver. After Di Salvo left, he took a cab to return to Ryan’s house, but before he could reach it, he saw Alex rush out of the house. Before he could reach him, a Honda Civic pulled up beside the little boy and two men emerged. They grabbed him and climbed inside, speeding away immediately. Realization hit Matteo hard, and they chased the car. “Do you have a phone with you? I left mine at home. Please, can you let me call the cops?” asked Matteo agitatedly. With the criminals escaping with Alex, he had to act fast. “Sure. Here.” The cab driver handed him his mobile phone. Matteo called 911 and informed them about the kidnap. He gave them details about Alex. “Can you keep the phone switched on for the police to track our location?” “Sure. Are you a tourist?” asked the cab driver as they negotiate around a turn and tailed the Honda Civic. “No, I’m visiting my wife’s family.” “The car's he
