Redemption Chapter 28
DANTELuca was a man whose life I once saved from a brutal and certain death. He was a solitary tracker, wandering the wilderness alone, but three years ago, he was captured by a group of unsavory characters. It was a stroke of luck that the one who had taken him happened to be on my list of people to eliminate. When I ultimately put a bullet in that bastard's head, I set Luca free. He had promised to repay me for my kindness, but at the time, I didn't take his vow too seriously.Yet, as the years passed, Luca kept in touch with me through the occasional greeting card, always marking the seasons. When I reached out to him this morning, he quickly promised to be at my apartment before dinner. While I'm not entirely sure if he remembers his promise to repay me, I don't care. I'm just glad to have him on my side.However, I have other problems to deal with at the moment. I've been preparing for the payback scheme from Valentine. I kidnapped his mistress and son and also burnt his goods.W

ANNAAs I looked at the gaping hole in my hand, I couldn't help but feel a wave of anger and betrayal wash over me. How could I have been so blind to Debbie's true nature? I inspected the makeshift bandage that was wrapped tightly around my wound, realizing that it was nothing more than a dirty old rag. With the throbbing pain in my hand growing more intense, I feared that the wound may have already become infected.Exhausted from dealing with this whole ordeal, I closed my eyes and attempted to will the physical and emotional pain away. But before I could fully escape into my thoughts, the door to my cell creaked open and Debbie sauntered in, followed by Jasper carrying a small purse."Hello, love. How are you doing?" Debbie's saccharine tone grated on my nerves.Staring daggers at her, I thought of a thousand ways to take revenge on her. "I'll be fine without having to see your face," I spat out.A sly smile spread across Debbie's lips as she took the purse from Jasper and opened it.

DANTEAs I rushed to Anna's side, my heart pounded so hard it felt like it might burst out of my chest. The sight of so much blood was overwhelming, and I couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt for not getting there sooner. But dwelling on what could have been was not going to save Anna's life.My mind raced as I assessed the situation. Matteo had taken Debbie hostage, and as much as I wanted to make her pay, my priority was to get Anna the help she needed. The amount of blood she had lost was alarming, and I knew that time was of the essence. Saving the baby was not a possibility, but I was determined to do everything in my power to save Anna.As Anna's condition worsened, I found myself praying for her. It was strange how she had managed to awaken my spiritual side, something I had never paid much attention to before she came into my life.When Anna's eyelids began to droop, I knew I had to fight to keep her conscious. I didn't want to lose her, and the memory of someone who had died
Redemption Chapter 31
ANNAThe sound of a persistent beep invaded my dreams, causing me to stir in my sleep. It was strange because Dante wasn't the type to set alarms, and I definitely hadn't set one. As I tried to sit up, a sharp pain shot through my abdomen, stopping me in my tracks.As I forced my eyes open, the beeping became more insistent. It took me a moment to realize that I was in a hospital room, hooked up to various machines that were beeping and whirring around me. I scanned the room, trying to get my bearings, and spotted Dante sitting uncomfortably in a white plastic chair beside me.His eyes met mine, and he offered a small smile. "Good morning," he said softly. Despite his attempt to sound upbeat, I could sense that something was off."Morning," I replied, trying to ignore the gnawing feeling of anxiety in my gut. "What's going on?"Dante rose from his chair and sat down on the edge of my bed, taking my hand in his. "Are you in pain? Do you need me to call a doctor?"As Dante held my hand,

DANTEAnna's request for me to stay away had been nagging at me but I couldn't ignore her any longer. I knew that my absence would give her the space she needed, but it also gave her time to build up resentment towards me. Despite my reservations, I decided to enter her room. As I stepped closer to her door, I heard her discussing something with Matteo.My heart sank as I listened to their conversation, hoping that Matteo wouldn't spill the beans about Anna's mother's death. Anna was already going through so much pain after the loss of our baby. Adding her mother's death to the mix would only make things worse. I stood back and paid closer attention to what they were saying.Suddenly, something Anna said caught my attention. She mentioned that they things she had learnt about her life would hinder her from feeling shocked about anything. My curiosity was piqued, but I couldn't help but wonder what Morello had told her. Morello had a reputation for being talkative, and I couldn't help b
Redemption Chapter 33
DANTEEver since Anna walked me out of her ward, her words and behavior have been consuming me. The mere thought of Anna considering taking someone's life makes me want to crawl out of my own skin. I feel like a complete failure, knowing that I couldn't protect my child and Anna from the darkness that surrounds me. Unable to contain my emotions any longer, I lashed out and punched the wall next to me. A crack formed, and my knuckles throbbed with pain."You need to calm down, boss," Matteo said calmly. "Seeing Anna with bruises isn't going to help anyone."I stared at him, fighting the urge to lash out. In the past, whenever I was angry, I would take it out on Matteo in the ring, probably because he was the only one who could defend himself. "That's the problem, Matt," I said, my voice trembling with rage. "Anna doesn't want to see me. You should have seen the way she looked at me. Her eyes were filled with pure hatred and disgust."I couldn't help but feel like I had failed Anna, fail
Redemption Chapter 34
ANNAThat two faced goblin slipper like bastard had the audacity to have Matteo bring me home from the hospital. He is hiding away like the bastard he is. In all honesty, I do not wish to stay in his house but for the sake of my real parents and information on VH14, I am willing to stay a little longer.Matteo appeared in the doorway as I fiddled with a slice of bacon on my plate. "You've been playing with that bacon for quite some time now," he remarked.I glanced up, surprised. "I didn't know I was being monitored," I retorted.He frowned at my response and approached me. "There's no need to be a bitch. I'm just concerned about you," he said.His comment had completely ruined my appetite, and I had no interest in continuing our conversation. "Where's Dante?" I asked curtly."He should be here soon. He had something urgent that needed his attention," Matteo replied.The realization that Dante had something more important to do than bring me home stung, more than I cared to admit. Desp
Redemption Chapter 35
DANTEShit! I can't believe I let that slip out without filtering my words. Anna must really have a unique effect on me, bringing out parts of my personality that I never knew existed.As I sat there, observing Anna's sharp and cunning demeanor, I couldn't help but admire how much she had grown intellectually. Not that I ever thought she was unintelligent, but she had a tendency to act impulsively without considering the consequences of her actions. However, it seemed that she had developed a shrewdness that I had never witnessed before.Despite her newfound intelligence, I knew that I was still the master of mind games. "I'm not foolish, Anna," I retorted calmly. "You just got out of the hospital and only a select few people were allowed in your room - the doctors, Matteo, and myself. Matteo doesn't know much about VH14 and has no reason to bring it up, so unless the doctors discussed it with you, which is highly unlikely, the only other person you could have learned about it from is
