"Who the fuck was that?!"
Natalie stood up from the floor with the kids huddled around her. They were all panting and frightened by what they had just witnessed.
She saw Dante running out of his car and engulfing Chloe—wait he was pulling her and the kids in for a hug.
"Lee, are you alright?" She asked frightened pulling away from Dante and rushing to the old man that was crumpled on the floor, blood trickling down his left leg.
"It's nothing, dear. Just a scratch," Lee groaned.
"This is your fault, Natalie."
Goosebumps crawled up her skin at the sound of the dreaded voice that always sounded like death. She turned around and sta

Natalie's eyes flew open as she surveyed her surrounding. She had to pretend to be drunk so Dante wouldn't pay much attention to her.Grabbing her jacket from the wall hanger, she grabbed her shoes and her favorite weapon—a frying pan—she had sneaked into her room earlier on from the kitchen.Tip-toeing out of her room, boots in hands she got to the sitting room. Everywhere was pitch dark and there wasn't a single sound heard from the house.Cautiously, she walked towards the garden using the brightly light sky filled with stars as her guidance till she heard a voice behind her."Leo, Is not gonna be happy about this."For a split second, Natalie, the girl who has survived being murdered years ago froze. At that moment, she believed in a haunted house but that was only for an instant.The next second, she whirled around and glared at the intruder."Why are you follo

"What were you thinking?!"Natalie frowned as she was rushed after a fuming Dante, Chloe hot on her heels."Dante, hold on it was just a joke?"He spun around so quickly she almost bumped into him."A joke? You call lying a joke."The look on his face forced tears to fill her eyes. He stared at her with the same look her father gives her each time he was summoned to her school."It wasn't Natalie's fault," Chloe said in a tiny voice.She swiped furiously at her tears-filled eyes. Chloe held onto her hands and continued."Daddy, I don't mean to get into trouble but most times I'm the victim here and I didn't want to drag you here because I don't like the way you stare at me."Dante furrowed his brows at her, surprise evident in his steel-blue eyes."How do I stare at you, Chloe?" He queried.Chloe sh

Natalie's heart was beating rapidly as she stepped out of the car. She was in an unfamiliar venue and she just wanted to see her brother before leaving.She raced towards the other end of the sidewalk and stopped in front of a restaurant. She didn't need any other command as she gently entered the restaurant.It had expensive decor, and it was filled with wealthy people. She didn't bother paying attention to the restaurant or the people rather she scanned the place her eyes looking for one person.Noah.She saw him sitting at the table at the other end of the restaurant. Her legs took her straight there."Natalie!" He exclaimed jumping down from his seat and pulling her in for a hug.She was relieved that her brother was alright now she just had to know why Jared had taken him in the first place."Jared." She gave him a tight-lipped smile.He chuckl

"Oh, Alpha male can't take his eyes off you."Natalie chuckled waddling in the water as her friend ranted off a list of things she was sure Dante is going through."I'm just here to have fun, Lexi," she chuckled, "I'm not interested if he comes to join us or not.""Well then you wouldn't mind if I take your spot," Lexi said wiggling her brow.Natalie chuckled again. She wanted to have fun and not care that there was a sociopath out there who wanted to kill her, someone Jared had blatantly refused to reveal to her.He had only warned her to be careful and he left. Such an odd behavior from him considering he loved spending time with her in a perverted way."Do what you want, Lexi but I didn't come here to tease Dante," she shrugged as she went underwater and came up splashing Lexi."Oh, I'm so gonna get you!" Lexi growled playfully scooping a handful of water and com

Guilt.That was exactly how he felt as he watched them rush her off to the emergency ward. He had been struggling with a boner while she had fallen to her death."Dante, it's not your fault besides she's going to be alright."He nodded holding back the tears that were threatening to spill. Natalie held his eyes for a moment and her gaze weakened him.He looked away. He shouldn't have let her come with him but he couldn't afford to leave her alone in that house where Sophie had fallen—or she was pushed. He couldn't tell.He could only tell that her phone hadn't been broken and she was supposed to be holding the phone when she fell, right?He massaged his throbbing temples and glanced at his daughter sleeping soundly in Natalie's arms. He needed to get them home safely but he also needed to stay here with Sophie."Yo, Dante."He looked up and saw Xavi

Dante was on the verge of going crazy as he dialed his grandfather's number. The first time Alaric decided not to pick up his calls was when Dante needed him most."Daddy, where are they taking Natalie to?"He had been asked this question for the tenth time tonight and he didn't have a clue as to what was happening."I don't know honey, but I'll bring her back," he replied.Chloe was already in tears and he was having a hard time pacifying her. What he couldn't understand was why Lee hadn't come out when all this fiasco was going on.He headed to the butler's room and found him handcuffed to his bedpost. His mouth was gagged and his ankles were tied securely too.Gently, he untied the old man and helped him out of the handcuffs—the keys were left on his nightstand."Dante, you guys are safe," he heaved a sigh of relief."It's alright, Lee. You're ju

Dante.Chloe.Noah.Lexi.It all came back to Dante.Why couldn't she spend a single second in this goddamn place without her thoughts drifting back to him, Natalie wondered.She was supposed to be thinking about Chloe or her brother or even how to get out of here but all she could think about was their day at the beach.That was what made her smile like a crazy person. Since when did she think of someone and smile foolishly, she had no idea.She was still in that damp place with the water drizzling on her and her eyes blindfolded, her mouth gagged.At this rate, she might lose her ability to speak if the gag isn't taken off anytime soon.She listened intently but heard no noise. They probably thought she wouldn't cause any trouble and handy bothered to place enough guards outside her door.Ha! She
