DANTEAs I lay on my bed that night, I couldn't shake off the events of the day. My heart ached as I thought about Anna Scott, the woman whose life was tragically cut short. Her death had left a void in my life, one that I knew would never be filled. It seemed that each passing day brought me no closer to finding her killer.Despite my overwhelming grief, I knew I had to do something to honor Anna's memory. And so, I resolved to start a charity foundation in her name. I would transfer all the money in her account to the charity, just as she would have wanted. She never cared for the extravagant gifts or the lavish lifestyle that I had provided her. Instead, she had always yearned for a simple life filled with love and laughter.Reflecting back on the time I spent with Anna, I couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. If only I had known how little time she had left on this earth, I would have done everything in my power to make every moment count. But my foolishness had cost her everyt

ANNAIt had been three agonizing days since Xavier had embarked on his journey to find Nat. I had spent countless hours worrying and wondering where he could be, hoping that he is safe. Yesterday, I had a moment of relief when Orlando didn't show up, but today, my gut told me he would come.The sound of the heavy door creaking open made me look up, my heart racing with anticipation. But instead of seeing Xavier, it was the man who brought me breakfast every morning. However, this time, he came empty-handed, with an unexpected message."The boss wants to have breakfast with you," he said bluntly.I was taken aback. "Your boss? Why?"He grabbed my arm forcefully and pulled me up. "Move it! I'm not in the mood for your damn questions."I followed him silently, his grip so tight that I knew it would leave a bruise. When we arrived at the room, I stumbled in, only to find a candlelit breakfast table set up.Orlando busied himself with opening the bottle of red wine, his hands moving with e

ANNAI could feel my heart pounding in my chest as I tried to mask my fear. . "Torturing me isn't going to get us anywhere," I said, desperately hoping he would reconsider. "Just give my brain some time to come up with something."The man shook his head, a cruel smile playing on his lips. "Like I said earlier, I don't have that kind of time," he sneered. "But don't worry, this method will definitely work. A little shock is all your brain needs."My eyes widened as he approached me with a knife, the sharp glint of its blade catching the light. "What are you going to do with that?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper."What do you think we do with knives?" he taunted. "You were once Dante's lover, surely you know what he does with his knives. But for clarity's sake, I'm going to cut you open and stitch you up again. And we'll do it every day."I gasped as he plunged the knife into my lower abdomen, the pain radiating through my body like a wildfire. I could feel my blood pooling be

ANNADue to my current physical limitations caused by my wound, Xavier suggested that he brings Nat so we can conduct the transaction with his laptop in the comfort of our own room.However, as the day wore on, I found myself growing increasingly bored and restless. With nothing better to do, I decided to indulge my curiosity and see what Dante had been up to lately. I made my way slowly to where Xavier had plugged in his laptop to charge and without hesitation, I opened his browser and typed in Dante's name. As I clicked through the search results, a plethora of personal and business information appeared on the screen. I delved deeper, clicking on his personal information in hopes of finding something newsworthy.As I scrolled through his profile, I stumbled upon a few pictures of him and Lisa, but there was no mention of me anywhere. The son of a bitch isn't even proud enough to present me to the media. I couldn't help but feel a tinge of disappointment when I realized he hadn't m

DANTEThe world has a peculiar way of surprising us. Just when I thought I was the only one terrible at protecting those I cherish, someone proved me wrong. I couldn't help but fixate on the photograph of Orlando's daughter – a truly beautiful girl, tragically lost to us through suicide. The media labeled it as such, but they never disclosed the motive behind her desperate act.Orlando did an impressive job of concealing the truth behind his daughter's suicide, yet rumors persisted and spread through the streets. Whispers suggested that one of his associates had violated her. I'm perplexed as to how he managed the situation so covertly and still stayed hidden. Even though he's mourning the loss of his daughter, it won't dissuade me from seeking vengeance, from chopping his body parts bit by bit. The only thing that will save him is if he had no hand in Anna's death.As I continued to stare at the pictures, a knock interrupted my thoughts. I invited the person in, and Tom entered the

DANTEThe name Lisa Cameron echoed in my mind, but it seemed that Lisa Davenport was the same person. Confusion and anger brewed within me as I contemplated who the hell she had met up with in my own house last night. The steering wheel felt tight beneath my clenched knuckles, a physical manifestation of my inner turmoil. It was unfathomable that someone could deceive me in such a manner, and the realization didn't sit well with me at all.As the car continued down the road, my focus was divided between the swirling thoughts in my head and the task of maintaining control on the wheel. How I managed to navigate the streets without colliding with another vehicle remained a mystery, considering the turmoil that churned within me.In the midst of my mental chaos, Matteo's voice broke through the haze, jolting me back to the present moment. However, his words were lost on me, unable to penetrate the fog of my troubled mind. I turned to face him, my eyes searching for an explanation. "What

DANTE Surprised and angered by the audacity of someone hacking into an account connected to me, I demanded, "Have you identified the hacker?"Tom replied hesitantly, "The transaction was executed seamlessly."My frustration grew. "No one besides Anna and me has access to her account details. So if I didn't initiate the transaction, who did?"Tom's response was straightforward, "The only person who holds the answer to that question is Nathan Miverton."Running my finger over my lips, I contemplated the situation. "I'll investigate further. In the meantime, I want you to dig into Clifford Cameron."Curious, Tom inquired, "May I ask who he is?""He's the individual who prompted Lisa to seek a new gynecologist. Lisa happens to be married to him," I revealed. Turning to Matteo, I added, "I need Miverton's home address.""Yes, boss," they both acknowledged in unison before promptly leaving my office.I rose from my seat and poured myself a glass of Scotch, needing some respite as I contemp
