Dante woke up to the sound of something falling and found himself planted on the floor. He frowned as he got up and saw Daphnèe fixing the mattress.
“What did you do?” He asked her, sitting back down on the bed. He noted she was fully dressed and looked good with her hair tied back, wearing a black maxi dress that shaped her body.
“It’s already late, I’m going to work now, breakfast is on the table and since you don’t want to get up, make sure you make up my bed,” she said and made to walk out of the room.
Dante quickly shot up from the floor and grabbed her, hugging her to himself. He dragged her back to the bed as she struggled, saying, “I do not have time for your games right now!”
Dante chuckled into her ear and pressed his lower body against hers. She immediately felt his length poke at him and went silent. Dante kissed the back of her neck to
The music was blasting loud throughout the club as she stepped out of her office. Looking down at the dance floor, she saw people walking around and with the strobe lights on, she couldn’t tell who was who.Making her way down the steps with Mario at her heels and her assistant manager. Mario’s assistant walked up to them and said, “All our VIP guests have arrived on expected arrival, including your husband. We have twenty minutes until opening.”Daphnée accepted the glass of champagne from Mario, who took it from a passing server and asked, “Is Emilia here too?”“No, we have her waiting outside, but I think Mr Bardi has someone fetching her right now,” he answered.Mario looked at Daphnée who was looking toward the VIP area and asked, “What are your plans, Queen?”“I am the owner here. If they want to see me, they need to come find me,” she said and made her way back up the steps and went to the break room that overlooked the club.“Queen?” Alessandro called to her as he entered. She
Daphnée woke up thanks to a tap on her shoulder. She opened her eyes to see who it was that was disrupting her sleep, and she saw Mario. He held his finger to his lips, then pointed forward.She got up and looked at what he was pointing at and saw Dante asleep in her chair. She stood up and went to get her bags, then they went to the break room and she stretched her body out while screaming.Mario yawned, saying, “We just have a few more strays in the club. It’s almost four and everyone’s tabs have been paid.”She nodded her head and started undressing while she said, “You can go home, tell Alessandro to send someone else for me.”“He was the one that told me you are sleeping and he went to rest. He’ll be here at four to make sure you get home safely. Miss Emilia went around looking for the boss when she couldn’t find him,” he said with a smirk.She shook her head as she put on white shorts and slipped into flops. She pulled on a pink top and tied her hair up in a messy bun.“Where’s
It had already been a week since the club was up and running and she was already fed up. Luckily Dante kept his distance and mother-in-law hasn’t agreed to the visit.She looked at Alessandro who was opening a beer and said, “I am not going to work.”He chuckled, “So what? You’re going to lounge around and sleep?”“How about you put down the beer and let's go out to the tourist attractions, I need to get accommodated with the country I live in now,” she said.He laughed and nodded his head, “Let me drink this. You let Mario know and get dressed while you are at it.”She got up then remembered something she wanted to ask him and sat back down. Looking at him she asked, “How does he know about my vibrator?”Alessandro spat a mouthful of beer at her surprise. She looked at him equally surprised then wiped her arms and face as he apologised. Rolling her eyes she said, “Just answer the question.”He quickly brought a towel back to clean her and said, “He had cameras installed in the apar
“The boss has ordered for you to return to the family home. He’ll be there shortly,” Alessandro said to her.She looked at him, then nodded slowly. She climbed off the hospital bed and walked out behind him.Daphanée was surprised as she walked out. Many of the doctors and nurses had their heads bowed to her as she walked past, and so did some patients.Alessandro looked behind him at her and saw that she looked around, confused.When they were off to the family home, Alessandro looked in the mirror and said, “I told them you were his wife.”Daphnée looked at him and asked, “Who was she?”He sighed and answered, “Ginevra.”“Who is she, Alessandro?” She asked sternly.Looking into the rearview mirror, he said, “She’s one of his exes. One that is so obsessed with him that she tried to kill Emilia a year ago. She had been quiet, but I guess she’s back.”Daphnée took out a mirror from her bag and looked at herself. Her cheek had a gauze on it.She looked into her eyes and could see that t
Mario walked up to Alessandro at the bar and asked, “Is she speaking to you?”He raised a brow as he looked up from the bottles he was counting, then looked up towards the office area and shook his head.Looking back at Mario, he said, “Not unless she needs something or has to tell me something.”Mario frowned. “I thought it was my imagination, but it’s been a few days now and she’s tight lipped. Do you think the boss said something to her?”He shook his head. “Nothing out of the usual.”“What’s usual for us isn’t for her,” Mario said.Alessandro frowned. He thought back to what he overhead and couldn’t tell what it was. He had smirked when Dante claimed about her biting him, but other than that?Looking at Mario, he asked, “Why don’t you take her shopping? She enjoys spending his money.”Mario smirked. He nodded his head and rushed off to the office.Opening the door, he looked at her, and she looked back at him.Daphne raised a brow. “Did something happen?”Mario shook his head as h
In his office, Dante sat behind the desk after he sent the woman away. It’s not that he didn’t want to sleep with Emilia, but the fact that he was overly excited since tasting Daphnée. He never went down on his knees for a woman, but with Daphnée and his limitations, also with their circumstances, he unconsciously did what he did and he didn’t regret it.Running a thumb over his bottom lip as he watched Daphnée’s body rock on her toy was exotic. She was big, everything of hers was big, and she was attractive—dangerously attractive.“Have they found her?” He asked Raffael.Raffael glanced over at his boss. Dante had a look on his face that he’d seen way too many times, and it was directed at Daphnée this time. If only she knew what troubles she had gotten herself into this time.“No,” he answered.Dante glanced over at him, then lowered his gaze. Daphnée was rather sexual for someone who was never in a relationship. Was she self-conscious?Didn’t she like men?*Alessandro sent Mario
Placing the fork down. Dante glanced over at Alessandro and asked, “How did it happen?”Alessandro knew he should have kept a keen eye on Daphnée, but it seems that they have gotten too close and she took advantage of him.Alessandro explained what had occurred until he found her and her behaviour after.Looking at him with his crossed fingers resting on the table, he asked, “From what you’ve said, Mario was part of this too.”Alessandro shook his head. “You know he would never double cross you.”Dante raised a brow. “That is what I thought. Now I am uncertain.”Raffael stepped in saying, “Boss, you know it spooked her after she was attacked. How many months has it been since she joined us and she now only decided to escape? Anyone could tell that Daphnée wouldn’t have just done this. Hasn’t she run the club as you’ve ordered?”Dante didn’t glance his way as he said, “I don’t recall hiring you to be a defence lawyer, Raffael. Daphnée had a choice and the chance she had to be on my goo
“Donatelli,” his mother greeted with open arms and a smile.Dante hugged her and gave her a kiss. He sat her down and asked as he handed her a cup of tea, “Why must you call me by that name?”Madam Bardi chuckled, “It’s the name your father gave you.”He groaned and sat back on the couch. He rested his arms over the back of the couch and looked at her.She called him over to discuss something, and he wondered what it was.Placing the teacup in a saucer, she glanced over at her son then asked, “How is my daughter-in-law doing?”Dante brought his hands to his lap and answered as he looked away from her, “She’s frightened.”“What are you doing that makes her frightened?” She asked him.Dante smirked inwardly, and he couldn’t hide it from his mother. “She disobeyed the rules. She needs to be punished. If it was anyone else, then they’d receive the same treatment.”She turned to him saying, “Remember Donatelli, she’s your wife yo—”“Why her mother?” He interrupted.She sighed, “Why not? An
