Chapter 16: A Night of Passion

The DeLuca Ball had ended, but its echoes remained in Isla’s mind. The glimmering chandeliers, the hushed whispers of the powerful, the heat of Dante’s touch at the small of her back—all of it still lingered on her skin.

She should have left. She should have retreated to the safety of her room at the estate, locked the door, and buried herself under the sheets, reminding herself of her mission. But she didn’t.

Instead, she stood in the dimly lit hallway of the DeLuca estate, her breath coming too fast, her body too aware of the man standing just a few feet away.

Dante.

His tie was loose now, the top two buttons of his crisp white shirt undone, revealing a glimpse of his tanned skin. His dark eyes were hooded, intense, burning into her like fire licking at dry wood.

She should have walked away. But she didn’t.

Instead, she took a step closer.

“So, Bella,” he murmured, his voice rough from the whiskey he had been drinking earlier. “Did you enjoy the ball?”

    Chapter 17: Dante’s WeaknessThe room was still draped in the aftermath of their passion, the air thick with heat and the scent of skin and sweat. Isla lay against the silk sheets, her body still tingling from Dante’s touch. She should have left. Should have wrapped the sheet around herself, gathered her clothes, and walked out of his bedroom with her mind intact.But she didn’t.Instead, she lay there, watching him.Dante was different now. He wasn’t the untouchable mafia prince she had grown accustomed to. He wasn’t the ruthless man who commanded rooms with a single look.He was just a man.His dark hair was messy from her fingers, his bare chest rising and falling with steady breaths, a rare moment of vulnerability in the way he lay beside her, eyes half-lidded as if the weight of the world had momentarily lifted from his shoulders.She had never seen him like this.“You’re staring,” Dante murmured, his voice raspy from exhaustion.Isla blinked, quickly looking away. “I’m just... t

The weight of what she was about to do pressed down on her, but there was no turning back.She pressed the tiny earpiece deeper into her ear. “Alex, can you hear me?”A slight crackle before his voice came through. “Loud and clear. You sure you’re alone?”Isla glanced around her bedroom at Dante’s estate. She had locked the door, double-checked for hidden cameras, and even ensured that Sofia was asleep before she dared to contact Alex.“Yes,” she whispered. “Let’s do this.”Alex exhaled sharply. “Alright. I’ll guide you. Log into the network and get into their financial database.”Isla’s fingers moved swiftly over the keyboard, her nerves tingling with adrenaline. She had worked for weeks to gain access to the DeLuca systems, subtly gathering information, memorizing Dante’s security protocols, and learning how his men operated. Now, all

She was too sharp, too careful. Her presence wasn’t just coincidence—it was calculated. And Luca had spent too many years in the DeLuca family to ignore his instincts.So, he dug.And what he found changed everything.---The DeLuca estate’s security room was dimly lit, the glow from multiple monitors casting eerie shadows across Luca’s face. The DeLuca security team was efficient, but no one was more thorough than Luca when he had a suspicion to confirm.He leaned over the keyboard, fingers moving with practiced ease, pulling up surveillance footage, access logs, and encrypted files. Isla’s movements had always been controlled, but she had made one mistake.She underestimated him.His eyes narrowed as he watched the footage—Isla entering Dante’s private office late at night, alone. A few minutes later, she left, tu

Just stood there, his broad shoulders tense, his fingers twitching at his sides as if he were holding himself back from tearing the entire room apart.Her mind raced, searching for an escape, a lie, anything to get her out of this.But it was too late.Dante DeLuca had come for blood.And she was trapped.A Deadly SilenceThe tension between them was suffocating.Dante finally moved, taking slow, deliberate steps toward her.“You played me.” His voice was quiet, but the menace in it sent shivers down her spine.Isla swallowed hard, forcing herself to meet his gaze. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”Wrong answer.Dante’s jaw ticked. In a flash, he was in f

The blindfold covering her eyes left her vulnerable, heightening her senses as she tried to steady her breathing. The car had been moving for what felt like hours, though she knew it had probably been no more than twenty minutes.She had expected Dante to kill her.Instead, he had taken her.His prisoner.The moment she had heard Luca’s voice confirming orders over the phone, she knew there was no escaping this. Dante had spared her life, but for what purpose?The car came to a halt, the soft hum of the engine cutting off, leaving a deafening silence. The door opened, and she felt the presence of someone looming over her before rough hands gripped her arm and yanked her out.She staggered, her legs unsteady from sitting too long, but before she could fall, a strong hand grabbed her waist.Dante.His grip was firm, possessive—branding her as his.He leaned in, his lips brush

The walls were adorned with gold accents, the massive chandelier overhead cast a soft glow, and the four-poster bed behind her was covered in silk sheets—luxury fit for a queen. But she wasn’t fooled.This was a prison.She stormed to the door, jiggling the handle. Locked. Again.Her teeth clenched as she slammed a fist against the wood. The first thing she had done after Dante dragged her into his mansion was test every escape route. The windows? Reinforced glass. The balcony? Too high to jump. The doors? Locked, guarded, controlled.Trapped.Dante had stolen her freedom, stripped away every ounce of power she had gained—and she despised him for it.The door creaked open, and Isla whirled around, her heart pounding.Dante stepped inside, exuding power and control with every step. He was dressed in his usual tailored black shirt and slacks, sleeves rolled up, veins prominent on his f

She was trapped, caged like a bird in Dante’s gilded prison, forced to submit to his rules, his authority.She refused.She wouldn’t break.But Dante was relentless.She had spent the entire day testing him—denying his commands, refusing to eat, staring him down with cold defiance. She wanted to provoke him, to push him to his limits, because anger was easier to face than the twisted desire that lingered in his gaze whenever he looked at her.Now, she was about to pay the price.The heavy creak of the door sent a jolt of awareness through her body.Dante stepped inside, his dark gaze locked onto her as he slowly closed the door behind him.A predator stalking his prey.Her breath hitched as he leaned against the doorframe, his arms crossed over his broad chest

The dim lighting of the bedroom cast long shadows across the walls, mirroring the darkness swirling inside her.She should hate him.She did hate him.And yet, every time he touched her, kissed her, consumed her, her body melted into his like she belonged there.She clenched the silk sheets, her breath uneven. This was a dangerous game, and she was losing herself in it.Dante DeLuca was supposed to be her target.Not her obsession.Not the man who made her body burn with every glance, every whispered word.She needed to regain control.She needed to fight.The door swung open.Dante.His presence filled the room, as intoxicating as the scent of expensive cologne and forbidden sin. He leaned against the doorway, his dark eyes watching her like a predator assessing its prey."You didn’t eat," he noted, his voi

But as he stood outside Sofia’s apartment, gripping the small velvet box in his hand, his heart pounded harder than ever.Sofia had always been more than just Dante’s little sister. She was fierce, intelligent, and completely untouchable—at least, until she let him in. And now, he was ready to give up everything to build a life with her.Taking a deep breath, he knocked.When she opened the door, her dark eyes widened in surprise. “Luca?”He wasted no time. Before she could say anything else, he stepped forward, took her hands, and met her gaze with unwavering determination.“I love you, Sofia,” he said firmly, watching as her lips parted in shock. “I’ve loved you from the moment you stormed into my life and turned my world upside down. And I know this world—our world—is filled with danger and chaos, but I would walk throug

The entire DeLuca empire had gathered, dressed in their finest, waiting for the moment when the most feared and powerful man in the underworld would claim his queen.Dante stood at the altar, clad in a perfectly tailored black tuxedo, his sharp features set in a look of determination. His presence was commanding, exuding power with every breath, but tonight, there was something different in his gaze—an intensity that wasn’t just about control or dominance. It was about devotion.He was about to marry the woman who had made him kneel. The woman who had tamed his demons yet fueled his obsession.

Thunder rumbled in the distance as heavy raindrops pelted against the large windows of the DeLuca estate. The dimly lit room carried a suffocating silence, neither of them willing to back down.Dante stood by the fireplace, his fists clenched at his sides, his jaw tight with frustration. Isla, on the other hand, stood near the doorway, her posture rigid, her eyes ablaze with a fire that matched the fury in her heart.“This isn’t a life, Dante,” she spat, her voice sharp as a blade. “This is a prison. And I refuse to be caged by you any longer.”Dante turned to face her fully, his eyes dark with warning. “You think you can just walk away from me?” His voice was low, controlled, but the storm inside him threatened to break free. “You belong to me, Isla.”“I don’t belong to anyone,”

    Chapter 54: The Bloody EndingThe night was dark, the sky heavy with the weight of impending storm clouds, as Dante stood over the wreckage of what had once been a place of refuge. His hands were bloodstained, his thoughts clouded with rage, and his heart twisted with vengeance. The events of the past days had led him here, to the final confrontation with El Cado, and nothing, not even his growing love for Isla, could stop what needed to be done.His men, ever loyal, had done what they were trained to do—track El Cado to the very edges of the city. They had gathered information, confirmed his hideout, and surrounded the abandoned warehouse like a pack of wolves closing in on their prey. But Dante had insisted on handling this himself. This was personal. El Cado had crossed a line, not just by kidnapping his sister but by threatening the life of Isla, the one person Dante could no longer imagine living without.The echo of gunfire still lingered in the air, though the battle had long s

    Chapter 53: Final ShowdownThe war between Dante and El Cado had been building for weeks, the tension ever-present, but when El Cado made his move, it was one Dante never saw coming.Dante paced in his private study, his jaw clenched, his mind running through the many possible outcomes of their feud. Since El Cado had gone into hiding, Dante had expected a war of words, but instead, El Cado had chosen to target the one thing Dante held most dear: his family.Isla, who had been at his side throughout the chaos, stood by the window, her eyes scanning the horizon, always alert. She could feel the shift in Dante’s mood. There was something heavy in the air, and it wasn’t just the ominous feeling of an impending storm—it was the kind of darkness that Dante had warned her about.“He’s making a mistake,” Dante muttered, almost to himself. “He thinks he can tear me apart, but he’s wrong.” His words were sharp, filled with rage, but also a cold sense of calculation. “He’s crossed a line now.”

    Chapter 52: Enemies FallThe air in the DeLuca compound was thick with tension. For months, Nico had been a threat hanging over Dante's head, his presence like a storm cloud that never fully dissipated. But now, after countless battles, bloodshed, and manipulations, the storm had finally broken.Nico was dead.At least, that’s what everyone had believed when the body had been found. His fall had been swift, precise, and calculated—exactly how Dante preferred to handle his enemies. A bullet to the head. No fanfare. No witnesses. Just death. Nico had underestimated him, and now he was paying the ultimate price.Isla stood at Dante’s side, her eyes locked on the bloodstained floor where Nico’s body had once lain. Dante’s empire was solidifying, but with it, came the ever-present reminder of just how brutal the world they occupied truly was. She could still hear the echoes of the gunshot, the image of Nico’s body crumpling to the ground.But even as the victory over Nico lingered in the a

A chain disguised as a band of metal.She sat in front of the grand mirror in Dante’s bedroom, staring at her reflection. The woman looking back at her wasn’t the same Isla from months ago. She wasn’t the woman who had stumbled into Dante’s world by accident, desperate to escape. That woman had been naïve, desperate for freedom.Now, she was something else entirely.Behind her, Dante stepped closer, placing his hands on her shoulders. His grip was firm, possessive. His dark eyes met hers in the reflection, filled with a dangerous satisfaction."You look perfect," he murmured, his fingers trailing down her arm, brushing against the ring. "A DeLuca queen."Isla let out a slow breath, tilting her head slightly. "Is that what I am now?" she asked, voice steady but devoid of warmth.Dante smirked, pressing a slow kiss against he
