Blood And Desire Dante's Protectiveness
Chapter 13: Dante’s ProtectivenessThe night air was thick with anticipation as Isla moved through the club. Inferno was alive, pulsing with energy, the scent of alcohol and perfume wafting through the air, mixed with the low hum of music and the chatter of wealthy patrons. It was a typical night, the kind that Isla had grown used to since she’d started working here as Bella Caruso. But tonight felt different. There was an edge to the atmosphere, a tension that crawled under her skin.Isla tried to push the feeling away as she moved between tables, carrying drinks to VIPs, offering polite smiles to everyone she passed. Her mind was focused, but part of her couldn’t shake the feeling that something was about to happen. Something that would change everything.Her instincts weren’t wrong.It started with the man in the corner booth.Isla had seen him before—a grizzled man with a deep scar running down his cheek, his eyes cold and calculating. He was a known figure in the underworld, a ri
Huling Na-update : 2025-03-07Blood And Desire First Kiss
Chapter 14: First KissIt had been days since the confrontation with Marco Santoro, but the air between Isla and Dante had only grown thicker. Every interaction with him, every glance he sent her way, was charged with something electric, something dangerous. And every time she thought she might be able to escape the pull of his presence, he was there again, lurking in the shadows, a reminder that he was always watching.It was only a matter of time before something broke, and Isla was afraid that when it did, she would be swept away by the storm.Isla’s eyes flickered toward the VIP section, where Dante sat, flanked by his usual entourage, his posture casual yet commanding. He had been watching her all night, his gaze never straying too far from her. Every time their eyes met, something flickered in his eyes—an intensity she couldn’t ignore, one that made her stomach flip and her heart race. She couldn’t help but feel drawn to him, no matter how much she tried to push the feelings dow

Chapter 15: The DeLuca BallThe night was crisp, the air filled with a certain kind of electric anticipation. Isla stood in front of her mirror, dressed in a gown that clung to her body like a second skin, its dark emerald hue accentuating the curves she had learned to hide, but now flaunted as part of the role she was playing. Her reflection looked almost unrecognizable, the transformation from the simple, guarded woman she had been into the seductive, confident Bella Caruso now complete. Her hair was swept into a sleek updo, soft waves framing her face, and her makeup was impeccable, her lips a deep, daring red.She wasn’t just any woman tonight. She was someone else entirely.Tonight was the DeLuca Ball—an event where the rich and powerful came together to flaunt their wealth, their status, and most importantly, their connections. It was the kind of place where deals were made under the guise of champagne toasts, where rivalries were kept in check with forced smiles, and where powe

Chapter 16: A Night of PassionThe 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

Chapter 18: The DeLuca HeistThe dim glow of the laptop screen illuminated Isla’s face as she sat on the edge of her bed, heart pounding in her chest. 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

Chapter 19: Betrayal UncoveredLuca Moretti had never trusted her.From the moment Bella Caruso—no, Isla Romano—stepped into their world, something about her had felt off. 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

Chapter 20: The ConfrontationIsla’s breath came in short, sharp bursts as she pressed herself against the wall.Dante was here.Standing in her apartment.And he knew.She could see it in his dark, stormy eyes—the barely restrained fury, the betrayal that twisted his features into something lethal.He didn’t move right away. 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.

Blood And Desire The Final Chapter
Chapter 60 – The Final ChapterBound by Love, Revenge, and an Unbreakable ObsessionThe DeLuca estate stood tall against the evening sky, the massive mansion a symbol of power, control, and the iron grip Dante held over his empire. But inside those walls, behind the ruthless exterior of its king, was something far more dangerous than power itself—his love for Isla.Their love was an addiction, a compulsion neither of them could break free from. No matter how much destruction it caused, no matter how many times they fought or burned in the flames of their own obsession, they always found their way back to each other.Tonight, as Isla paced their bedroom, her hands trembling, she knew the news she was about to deliver would change everything. She had spent weeks hiding the truth, afraid of what it might mean for them. But there was no hiding from Dante. He knew her too well, owned every part of her, inside and out.The moment he entered the room, his dark eyes locked onto hers, reading
Blood And Desire Family and Future
Chapter 59: Family and FutureIsla sat on the balcony of the DeLuca estate, the warm afternoon breeze brushing against her skin as she sipped a glass of wine. It had been a long time since she had seen her brother, Alex, in person. They had always been close, bound by the pain of their past and the vengeance they had finally taken.When the butler announced Alex’s arrival, Isla didn’t waste a second. She rushed inside and saw him standing in the grand foyer, his usual confident smirk in place.“Alex!” she called out, throwing her arms around him.Alex hugged her tightly. “Still dramatic, I see.”She rolled her eyes. “Shut up. You missed me, admit it.”He chuckled. “Maybe a little.”They moved to the sitting area, where Isla poured him a drink. As they clinked glasses, they fell into comfortable laughter, reminiscing about their childhood—the good and the bad.“Remember when we used to sneak out to steal sweets from the bakery?” Isla grinned.Alex groaned. “And got caught by Mom?

Blood And Desire A Love Of Their Own
Chapter 58: A Love of Their OwnLuca had never felt nerves before—not in a gunfight, not in a war, not even when standing beside Dante in the bloodiest of battles. 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

Blood And Desire A Mafia Wedding
Chapter 56: A Mafia WeddingThe grand cathedral stood tall under the evening sky, its towering stained-glass windows illuminated by the golden light of hundreds of flickering candles inside. 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. Isla.The heavy wooden doors of the cathedral creaked open, and every head turned as Isla stepped forward.Dressed in an ivory gown that clung to her figure before cascading into layers of lace, she looked b
Blood And Desire A Lover's Ultimatum
Chapter 55: A Lover’s UltimatumWeeks Later, Isla and Dante are having an serious argument about him not letting her go anywhere alone .The storm outside mirrored the tension brewing between Dante and Isla. 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,”
Blood And Desire The Bloody Ending
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
Blood And Desire Final Showdown
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.”
