DANTEAs the realization washed over me, a newfound understanding emerged. It became clear that her fear wasn't directed towards me personally, but rather for Xavier and his family. She trembled at the thought of what I might do to them, which explained her cautious demeanor. "Don't concern yourself with the ambulance," I assured her, "I'll have David attend to Xavier. In return, would you be willing to join me in my suite? We can have an uninterrupted conversation." I considered adding the suggestion of making love to our agenda, but I decided to keep that desire concealed, fearing it might frighten her away. If circumstances played out favorably, perhaps she might share that intimacy with me. Suppressing the growing excitement that caused a bulge in my pants, I adjusted myself discreetly, ensuring it went unnoticed.Her gaze shifted between Xavier and me, and finally, she acquiesced, saying, "Fine, call David. Once he starts treatment, I'll accompany you."I signaled one of my men t

DANTEAs a little boy, my grandmother thought me how to prepare killer spaghetti. I decided to prepare my grandma's special recipe for Anna since she refused lunch. Just in case you are wondering how I ended up preparing lunch and dinner, that's pretty simple. I locked Anna and myself inside my suite with the promise of not opening it until we both resolved our issues. I gave her the chance to name anything she wants me to do, that am willing to do it as long as it pulls down this wall between us. A chance which is still very open. She did say something though, but what she asks of me is something that I am never going to do. Let her go? She got to be fucking kidding. I’m willing to let Xavier go but I am never letting Anna go. She is like my better half, the only redemption I have in my world of crimes. She is like the light at the end of every tunnel and for that reason, am never letting her go.With eager anticipation, I lifted the lid of the pot, revealing the masterpiece I had

DANTECaught off guard by Anna's attempt to salvage our last meal together, I found myself momentarily at a loss for words. Sensing her discomfort, I decided to spare her any further awkwardness by steering the conversation in a different direction."Thanks, but I think I'll just stick with coffee for now," I replied gently, trying to inject a note of reassurance into my voice. "You go ahead and eat, and take some time to freshen up. Meanwhile, I'll let Fabiano know to get the car ready."An uncomfortable smile played on Anna's lips, betraying a mix of emotions that lingered between us. Without further ado, she bent down to pick up the shattered fragments of glass from the floor. Concern washed over me as I realized the potential danger she was putting herself in."Please, don't bother with that," I implored, my voice tinged with worry. "You might end up injuring yourself. I'll have someone come up and handle the mess."However, my words fell on deaf ears as Anna persisted in her task

ANNAI stirred from my slumber, my senses tingling with the sound that reached my ears. Slowly, I opened my eyes, greeted by the sight of a breathtaking figure standing before me. How could fortune favor me so greatly, to have such a handsome and irresistibly attractive person beside me on this very bed? My fingertips longed to caress his tousled hair, but I refrained, fearing that my touch might awaken him. However, the persistent sound brought me back to reality, reminding me of the true reason I had awoken.Ah, there it was again—the unmistakable melody of my ringtone, emanating from the depths of Dante's jeans pocket. I endeavored to disentangle myself from him, aiming for a seamless departure without rousing him from his peaceful slumber. Yet, my efforts proved futile as his hand instinctively tightened around my waist, sensing my movement."Where do you think you're going?" Dante's sleep-laden voice rumbled, his eyes fluttering open.I planted a gentle peck on his lips, hoping t

ANNAA few hours had passed since I embarked on my journey to Xavier's place. As I stood in front of his door, I couldn't help but feel a wave of nervous anticipation wash over me. I desperately hoped that Mrs. Kathryn, Xavier's mother, would be in a forgiving mood and grant me entrance. With a silent prayer to whichever divine entity might be listening, I mustered the courage to knock.To my surprise, the door swung open, revealing a sight I hadn't expected. Instead of Mrs. Kathryn, I found myself face to face with a miniature version of Xavier. The resemblance was uncanny—same eyes, same smile, but in a smaller package."Hello," the little one greeted me with a small, innocent voice. "Who are you, and how may I help you?"A warm smile spread across my face as I introduced myself. "My name is Anna, and I'm a friend of your father's. Could you please let him know that I'm here at the door?"Before the little girl could respond, her voice was interrupted by Mrs. Kathryn's call from ins

DANTEIt had been more than a week and a few days since our secret agreement with Xavier had been sealed, outlining our plan to bring an end to Orlando. However, we had refrained from taking action just yet, choosing instead to let Xavier recover fully from his injuries. We didn't want to risk Orlando suspecting any involvement from Xavier, jeopardizing our carefully crafted strategy.During these past days, I had yet to break the news to Anna that she wouldn't be accompanying me to New York. I had numerous justifications for this decision. Firstly, I wanted to shield her from the impending war that loomed over us and the dangers it entailed. Even if I succeeded in eliminating Orlando, a host of adversaries would emerge, including his ambitious cousins and brothers, eager to prove their worth by taking my head and claiming the throne. However, I was resolute in my determination to confront them one by one, ensuring they understood that they were all under my control now.Secondly, the

DANTEAs I stepped into my house, a wave of disappointment washed over me as I surveyed the scene. My men, whom I had entrusted with their respective duties, were slacking off in various corners. Normally, I would have reprimanded them for their lack of discipline, but today they were the least of my concerns. Ignoring their careless demeanor, I made my way towards the entrance, only to be greeted by Matteo with an exuberant grin plastered across his face. It seemed he had been waiting for my return."Welcome home, boss man," Matteo greeted me, his eyes darting around as if searching for something or someone.I furrowed my brow in response to his behavior. "What are you looking for?" I asked, my curiosity piqued.His gaze shifted uneasily as he replied, "The second guy you boarded the plane with. Who is he anyway?"My patience worn thin, I pushed him aside, eager to enter the comfort of my own abode. "I'm not answering any questions while standing outside my own fucking door," I retor

DANTEI let out a relieved sigh as I reminisced about Lisa's wild escapades from the previous day. Ah, what a weight off my shoulders! Finally, I could shed the charade of playing the affectionate lover, sparing myself from the obligation to shower her with kisses just to keep her satisfied. The thought of indulging in such acts, which would undoubtedly displease Anna, made me cringe inwardly. Damn I sound pussy whipped.Just as I was lost in my musings, my ringing phone jolted me back to reality. With a mischievous grin spreading across my face, I nonchalantly propped my legs up on the table as I reached for the call button. I knew exactly who it was before even glancing at the caller display. "Hey love, is everything alright?" I greeted her, a hint of curiosity lacing my voice.In the background, I could hear Anna shuffling around before finally responding, her tone laced with a touch of annoyance. "Well, aside from the fact that your ever-vigilant security detail shadows my every
