ANNAEver since I informed Xavier about our plan to head to Palo Alto and meet with Mr. Rex Peterson, my father's lawyer, instead of languishing in a run-down motel, he hasn't uttered more than ten words to me. Xavier's silence has been deafening, and it adds to the mounting tension I feel.It's been three long days since Xavier started working on our passports, and today, we should finally have them in our hands. With any luck, we'll be en route to Palo Alto, California by tomorrow. However, there's something that has been eating away at me—Xavier's refusal to provide any updates on Nat. I'm left in the dark, unsure if Nat is alive or dead. Whenever I try to broach the subject, Xavier brushes me off, assuring me that he has everything under control and that I should concentrate on the immediate situation at hand.As I sat lost in my thoughts, the sudden sound of the front door opening jolted me back to reality. I turned my gaze towards Xavier, his handsome presence commanding attenti

ANNAInitially, I had the impulse to pull away, but upon further reflection, I chose to surrender to the moment. Screw Dante and his hold on my thoughts. Goodness, did I really just think of Dante while engaged in a kiss with another man? If I decide to pursue someone else, I shouldn't harbor an ounce of guilt, considering that despicable individual abandoned me to suffer at the hands of Orlando, all the while frolicking around with that superficial bimbo. In that instant, I sensed a void, and it was then that I noticed Xavier had ceased our kiss, his gaze fixed upon me."Are you thinking of him?" he inquired, his words tinged with a mix of curiosity and concern.Goodness, is this what it feels like to experience both guilt and shame simultaneously? "I apologize, Xavier, but trust me, thoughts of intimate moments with him didn't cross my mind."He offered me a feeble smile, his eyes filled with understanding. "It doesn't necessarily matter what specific thoughts are running through yo

DANTEwas married to Clifford, I made a strategic decision to withhold this information from her for the time being. Instead, I devised a plan to accomplish two crucial objectives simultaneously. Firstly, I aimed to exploit Lisa's presence in my house to uncover the identity of the other mole who had infiltrated my domain. Secondly, I intended to utilize her unsuspecting involvement to permanently eliminate Officer Clifford, who had become a thorn in my side, both personally and professionally.Executing this intricate plan required establishing a close bond with Lisa. It was imperative to gain her trust and proximity. As a result, I found myself seated across from her at a beautifully set dinner table, engrossed in an evening of captivating conversation.While engrossed in our discussion, the distinctive sound of a notification chimed on my phone, grabbing my attention. Curiosity piqued, I swiftly tapped on the message icon, revealing a text from Tom. He informed me that the listenin

DANTEI quickly powered on my laptop, eager to see the results. Within a few minutes, the camera footage appeared on the screen, revealing Lisa making her way down to my room. "It's connected, Tom. Hurry up and get your ass over here," I urged, a sense of urgency in my voice.I turned towards Matteo, my eyes fixed on him. "You'll be analyzing this video all night," I stated matter-of-factly.He rubbed his hands together, a determined look in his eyes as he stood up to retrieve the laptop. "That's not a problem. After all, I can't exactly whine about it again, can I?"Choosing to overlook Matteo's sarcastic remark, I redirected my attention to the task at hand. Immersed in reviewing some shipment files, I was interrupted by Tom's entrance into the room. He greeted me with a small bow before acknowledging Matteo, who had carelessly sprawled himself onto the other couch.Just as Tom entered, Lisa's phone began to ring. The sudden sound caught our attention, and her first statement caused

DANTEGenevieve and Xavier coach? Why is the list getting fucking long?I glanced at my luxurious Rolex watch, feeling the weight of impatience settling in. Despite only sitting here for a mere two minutes, it felt as though time was dragging on like an eternity. Frustration etched its way across my face as I turned to Tom, my trusted ally in the world of hacking."How much longer do you need to crack their damn system?" I asked, my voice tinged with annoyance."Just a little more time, boss," Tom replied, his fingers dancing across the keyboard with practiced precision.Ever since Nat had provided us with the names of our targets and the hotel they were staying at, Tom had been tirelessly working to breach their digital defenses. We needed to obtain their room number to execute our plan flawlessly."Boss, I've managed to uncover some information," Tom finally spoke up, breaking the tension in the air. "I found a couple named Desmond and Genevieve Bills, but there's no trace of anyone

DANTEAfter detailing the intricacies of the plan to Nat, I released him from his restraints. However, I made sure to implant a tracking device in his body and pierced his ears, affixing an earring equipped with a listening device. I emphasized that I had spared his life for now, but if he attempted to remove these devices, I would personally hunt him down.Meanwhile, Tom, our expert tracker, had been unable to locate Anna. However, he had uncovered information indicating that Xavier was in California. Yet, deep down, I knew that bringing Anna back home wasn't the right move amidst the brewing war. With Lisa, Clifford, , and Orlando to contend with, I needed to settle matters before bringing Anna back into the fold."Why didn't she come home when she escaped?" Tom asked, echoing the very question that had been plaguing my thoughts.Matteo took it upon himself to answer Tom's question, his voice filled with a somber tone. "Don't blame her for deciding not to come home, Tom. Before she

ANNAToday was the long-awaited day when we finally secured an appointment with the elusive Mr. Peterson. I meticulously took my time getting ready, determined not to appear desperate or destitute. After all, if I was going to present myself as Mr. Thompson's daughter, I needed to look the part.Emerging from the closet, Xavier looked dashing in his impeccably tailored tuxedo. "Are you still getting ready, Anna?" he teased, gesturing toward his wristwatch. "You've been at it for two hours. Remember, we're not there to impress Mr. Patterson."Applying the final touches to my makeup, I glanced at Xavier with determination. "I refuse to enter that room resembling a beggar or a lost soul, especially when it concerns my father's wealth."Xavier's voice carried a hint of skepticism. "We can't even be certain if your father has anything left to inherit."Slipping into my elegant heels, I stood tall. "I'm stepping into that meeting with the hope that my father possesses an island, as it's the

ANNAXavier took a deep, shuddering breath, and for the first time since I'd known him, tears streaked down his cheeks. His voice trembled as he pleaded, "Please, Mr. Williams, I'm begging you. Don't harm my mother. I'm sorry for getting myself involved in your affairs."Dante's tone grew colder, devoid of any sympathy. "No, you're not sorry, because if you were, you wouldn't still be lying to me. Anna has no cash at hand, except for the five hundred thousand dollars which she gave to Nat, and that was subsequently stolen back by you two for reasons unknown to me. So, I'll ask you once again, Xavier: Where is Anna? But I strongly advise you to think long and hard before you answer that question."Xavier's gaze locked with mine, and I responded with a subtle, reassuring nod. It was a nod laden with meaning, conveying my understanding of the difficult situation he found himself in. A part of me questioned whether Dante would pose a threat to me. After all, I hadn't stolen anything from
