Chapter 10"You mean they are back?" Roman Ricci asked his personal assistant John."Yes, they are back, it's already all over the news.""Where are they now?" Roman loved his daughter so much that he never wanted to expose her to the world he is living in."He took her to his mansion, it's his wife after all.""Wife? Are you mad? There is no way that monster would think of my angel as a wife. This is what you call legal kidnapping." Roman fumes. He has been trying to get hold of his daughter ever since he saw the news of the marriage but he couldn't."What do you suggest we do?" John asked. He had known Madonna ever since she was born so she was like a daughter to him and he had his personal plans for her."I heard Madonna is back, why isn't she here yet." Mrs. Ricci barged into her husband's study without knocking."She went to Dante's house.""Good, we can go meet her there. How could she get married without informing us." Mrs. Ricci knew of her husband's business and knew about th
Dante stopped in front of Roman Ricci and the tension between them was so thick. Dante has no regard for his father in and the feeling was mutual. "I want to see my daughter." Roman gritted but Dante only smirked. "It's rude to keep your guest outside." John remarked. Dante didn't allow them to get past the gate. "Not when the guest is trying to steal my treasure." "Steal? Boy, you and I know who the real thief is." Roman was boiling with rage. "Don't lump me together with you, I am not a kidnapper." Dante smirked as he made Roman remember what started all these. "You want the government project back? I can give it back and even compensate you." Roman doesn't care about any of that with his daughter's life in danger. Now he feels what his business oppositions feel whenever he kidnaps their loved ones to make them surrender to him. Roman is not a saint and he knew one day he would pay for the crimes he has done but he didn't want the payment to be his daughter's life. "How kin
Madonna was filled with joy when she arrived at her father's house. Dante returned her phone to her and she made sure to reply to most of the messages on her phone. Since she wasn't so close to any of her friends, she didn't feel like she owe any of them any explanation. They were all about her sudden marriage and even her ex asked about it. "My daughter, I missed you so much." Mrs. Ricci took her daughter in a tight embrace. "I missed you too mother." Mr. Ricci watched the two most important people in her life hugging each other. He half doubted Dante when he said they would be visiting. "Dad, you haven't aged a day." Madonna hugged her father and took everything in him not to cry. "Why not go catch up with your mother, I have something to discuss with him." Roman pointed at Dante. "Oh, my husband." Roman winced at her daughter calling his archenemy husband. "Gone on dear, I have some things to discuss with your father." Dante urged Madonna and she left after a moment of hesita
"This is Williams, my P.A's son, I have always thought they would end together." Roman said loud enough for only Dante to hear. "These two have always been inseparable in the past." Veronica fanned the fire in Dante's heart without even knowing. "How long has it been? You promised to visit but you never did." Madonna broke the embrace and sat back with William seating beside her. "I have been busy, so what is this I am hearing about marriage?" Williams asked and Madonna rolled her eyes. "Long story, this is Dante." She turned and introduced Dante. Dante didn't miss the fact she didn't use the term husband. "Hi, I am Dante." "Hi, I am Williams." The two men stood and shook each other with Madonna sitting in the middle. Roman smiled as he loved what was happening so he decided to use the situation well. "Tell me, Williams, how is firm?" Williams is a law and not a corrupt one. Though his father is Roman's assistant, Williams didn't want to get involved in the business. "Great,
Madonna went back inside and tried her best to hide her sadness. When she got back her parents asked if she was alright and she confirmed that nothing was wrong. She looked outside and saw Dante walking back in with a steady step and nothing about him showed he was affected by the situation. "Mr. Roman, I would have to impose on you." Williams spoke but Madonna paid him no attention as she was counting how many steps it would take Dante to reach her. "What is that my son." "I would be staying with you for a while." Williams smiled and Roman couldn't have been happier. "Of course, you are always welcomed." Williams always stays over whenever he visits so it wasn't something new. "Oh dear, did you hear that? Williams would be staying over." Veronica drew her daughter's attention. "Yes, I would be staying over." Madonna spoke without actually hearing what her mother just said. Because she heard staying over, she thought her mother was asking about her. "Great, you two staying over
"What is wrong with you?" Veronica asked her daughter. Madonna had bags around her eyes as she was unable to sleep last night."Good morning mom, nothing is wrong? I was just unable to sleep." She went to the counter to make herself a coffee."What of Dad?""He went out for a jog with Williams." "Alright." She took a sip of her coffee and moan at the rich taste."Is everything alright with your husband? Last night when you came back you seem sad." Veronica noticed the changes in her daughter."Yes, everything is fine.""How long would you be staying?""A week." "You're stronger than you look." Williams and Roman came in at that moment sweating due to their jog."You are awake angel." Roman noticed the bag around her eyes. "Trouble sleeping?" She nodded."You should go back and sleep more, you have a whole week to spend with us." Veronica offered."About that, I think I will be leaving today. Dad, can you tell one of the drivers to take me back?""Why so sudden, I thought we had a lo
After the late lunch Madonna had, Nana decided to take her for a walk around the mansion. Madonna wanted to hear about Dante's childhood story."There is nothing much to say about his childhood.""So there are no embarrassing moments?" Madonna wanted to have something he could mock Dante with."Dante's childhood wasn't like a normal child." Nana reminisced and a sad smile appeared on her face."How do you mean?""Dante was always neglected by his parents. His mother was just a mistress so Dante was an illegitimate son. His mother always spend her time trying to get Mr. Russo's attention and forgot about her son.""That's absurd." Madonna didn't need further explanation to know that Dante's childhood wasn't fun."I have said a lot, Dante would be mad if he finds out that I have spoken about his childhood." Nana knew how much Dante hated to be reminded of his sad past."Alright, how about you tell me the things he likes instead." Madonna wanted to know about Dante's past but she didn't
Madonna took the hand Dante was caressing her cheek with and kissed it. The tip of his fingers was cold and Madonna used her lips to warm them. Madonna was not an expert in the art of seduction, she would even be considered a novice. But there was something undeniably seductive with the way she kissed the fingers and looked at Dante. Dante has been with many girls in his life, he is far from a saint but he couldn't stop his beating heart from the excitement he was feeling. Madonna continued kissing Dante's fingers to his palm, Dante could feel the warmth traveling all over him. Madonna had no idea what she was doing, she never thought of a way to seduce a man or make a man feel better but tonight, her body seemed to have a mind of its own."Madonna." Dante moved closer to her as he hated the distance between them. He entered the mansion tonight with the determination to let Madonna go, but now the thought of leaving her has disappeared. "Can I be selfish tonight?" He muttered only lou
