last update Last Updated: 2024-12-06 07:34:58

Chapter 32

The tension in Dante’s chest grew tighter with every passing moment. It wasn’t something he could control. It wasn’t something he had ever allowed himself to acknowledge, not even to himself. But today, as he watched Izzy from across the room, speaking to one of the men from the new partnership, it was impossible to ignore. A seed of jealousy had taken root, and it was growing quickly.

Dante had never been the type to let his emotions show in front of others. He was a man who thrived in control—of his business, his family, his empire. And yet, as he stood by the conference table, listening to the chatter of the meeting, his gaze kept drifting back to Izzy.

She was laughing, her lips curving into that smile that had always driven him wild. The way she tilted her head, the warmth in her voice—it was all there, that same spark he had fallen for all those years ago. But this time, it wasn’t him she was giving it to. It was him—the new associate who had taken an interest in h

    Chapter 33 Izzy couldn’t shake the feeling that Dante’s obsession was tightening around her like a noose. His touch, his words, the way his eyes followed her every move—it was becoming suffocating. She had always known Dante to be protective, sometimes even possessive, but this was different. This wasn’t just about his need to keep her safe or to ensure their family’s security; this was something darker. Something born of jealousy, insecurity, and a deep-rooted fear of losing her. They were in the elevator now, Dante standing close enough that she could feel the heat radiating from his body. The silence between them was thick, almost suffocating, and Izzy was doing everything she could not to look at him. She could feel his gaze on her, heavy, unyielding, and it made her skin crawl in a way she hadn’t anticipated. The elevator doors slid open, and Dante stepped out first, his back straight, his pace purposeful. Izzy followed him, the weight of his presence pressing down on her like

    Chapter 34 Izzy’s world was rapidly changing, and not always in the ways she had anticipated. Dante’s possessiveness, his obsession, his growing need to control her—though she understood the roots of it, she couldn’t help but feel stifled. The tension between them, though still filled with love, was beginning to take on a darker shade. Dante’s promises to do better felt empty, at times, as if the weight of his world—his business, his empire—was pulling him further into himself, making him harder to reach. And now, it seemed the outside world was beginning to notice. The first hint of trouble came when she overheard a conversation between two employees in the hallway just outside her office. It was nothing overt—no blatant whispers or gossip—but enough to make her blood run cold. “I don’t know,” one woman’s voice said, barely a whisper. “I think Izzy and Dante... well, they’re too close, don’t you think? I mean, she’s not just his wife anymore, right? She’s... I don’t know... the w

    Chapter 35 The evening after overhearing the conversation in the hallway, Izzy couldn’t shake the gnawing feeling that had settled deep in her stomach. The rumors, the whispers, the way Dante’s obsession with her seemed to be consuming everything—it was no longer just an issue confined to the shadows. It was spilling into their lives, making everything feel fragile, as though the foundation they had built together was starting to crack. Dante was a man who thrived on control. And Izzy could feel that control slipping—slipping not just over the world around them, but over her. The tension in their marriage was palpable now, the silence between them more frequent. The more Dante tried to shield her, to keep her from everything he deemed dangerous, the more she felt trapped, suffocated by his love, by his need to protect her at all costs. She had tried to reason with him. Tried to show him that the way he was acting—possessive, paranoid, consumed by jealousy—wasn’t just hurting their

    Chapter 36 The days that followed the conversation with Dante were tense. Despite the shift in their dynamic—the fragile hope that maybe they could fight together, side by side—the tension between them remained thick. Dante was still consumed by the need to protect his family, but it was becoming increasingly clear that his idea of protection was suffocating, not just for Izzy but for him as well. His obsession with guarding them from the world was beginning to tear at the very fabric of their relationship. Izzy found herself spending more time at the office, not just to keep herself busy, but because she could feel the distance between them growing. The rumors, the whispers, they hadn’t stopped. In fact, they seemed to be gaining traction. She could see it in the way the employees looked at her now, the subtle way their gazes lingered a moment too long before quickly looking away, as though they were afraid of being caught. And when she’d asked Dante if they could do something abou

    Chapter 37 Izzy sat at her desk, the weight of Marco's words still heavy on her mind. Dante, a traitor? It didn't make sense. She refused to believe it, even though the seed of doubt had been planted. There had to be an explanation, a reason for the changes in him. But what if Marco was right? What if Dante really was hiding something, something dangerous, something that could tear apart everything they had built? Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of her phone vibrating on the desk. The number on the screen wasn’t one she recognized, but the urgency in her chest made her pick it up immediately. "Hello?" Her voice was tight, her nerves on edge. "Ms. Izzy," a cold voice came through the receiver, its smoothness sending a chill down her spine. "We know what you're hiding. We know about Maya. And we're coming for you." Her blood ran cold. The line went dead before she could respond, leaving her in a stunned silence. She had heard enough. Her breath hitched, and her hand inst

    Chapter 38 The car sped through the dimly lit streets, the engine’s hum the only sound filling the tense silence. Izzy sat in the back seat, her thoughts a whirlwind of confusion, fear, and disbelief. Everything had changed in the blink of an eye. One moment she had been sitting at her desk, trying to make sense of the mess around her; the next, she had been thrown into a nightmare she couldn’t fully grasp. The weight of Dante's words—someone wants you dead—kept echoing in her mind, louder with every passing second. The way he had acted when he shot that man, the icy cold efficiency, the way his gaze had hardened when he saw her... it all made her feel like she was walking on a razor’s edge, caught between two worlds: the one she had known and the one Dante had kept hidden from her. She glanced over at him, sitting in the front seat, his eyes scanning the rearview mirror with a sharp, calculating focus. His jaw was clenched, his hands gripping the steering wheel so tightly his knuc

    Chapter 39 Dante’s words hung in the air like a storm waiting to break. His voice was ice-cold, laced with a dangerous finality that left no room for hesitation. "Call all men," he repeated, his voice devoid of emotion, each syllable cutting through the silence like a blade. "Prepare for war." The men around him shifted uneasily, their eyes flicking to one another before they snapped to attention. They had seen Dante in his fury before, but never like this. Never with this level of calm calculation, this frigid precision. He wasn’t just angry; he was a man who had been pushed beyond the brink, a man whose entire world was now under siege. Marco, ever the loyal right hand, nodded sharply, his face hardening. "Understood, Boss. I’ll make the calls. We’ll mobilize everything." Dante didn’t respond, his gaze narrowing as he scanned the garage one more time, his mind already calculating the next steps. His men were already on the move—silent, efficient, deadly. But they were up agains

The sun bathed the garden in golden light, and birds chirped happily in the distance. Dante sat on the patio, a steaming cup of coffee in hand, watching Maya help Sebastian and Sophia with a new project—building a small birdhouse.“Careful, Sophia,” Maya said, her voice calm but assertive, much like her mother’s. “You don’t want to hit your finger with the hammer.”Sebastian grinned. “Or Maya will give you a lecture about safety—again.”Dante chuckled softly, sipping his coffee. His children were his pride, each of them embodying pieces of him and Izzy in their own unique ways.Izzy stepped out onto the patio, carrying a tra

She said I’m good at coloring.”Sebastian added, “And I told her I’m going to be just as smart as my big sister someday!”Dante, driving, chuckled at his son’s declaration. “That’s a pretty high bar, little man,” he said, glancing at Maya in the rearview mirror. “Your sister’s already way ahead of the game.”Maya blushed slightly, but her grin widened. “Well, I can help you, Seb. And Sophie, too.”Izzy turned in her seat to look at them, her heart full as she watched the siblings interact. “I’m so proud of all of you

Maya sat at the breakfast table, her usual composed self, sipping on a cup of hot chocolate as she worked on a sketch in her new journal.Izzy entered the room with a fresh pot of coffee, her hair pulled back into a loose bun. She paused, taking in the sight of her children, and smiled to herself. The peace and joy in these quiet family moments were what she cherished most.“Good morning, my loves,” she greeted, setting the coffee pot on the counter.“Morning, Mommy!” Sebastian and Sophia chorused, barely glancing up as they continued their game.Maya looked up from her journal and offered her mother a soft smile. “Good morning, Mommy.”Dante appeared in the doorway, freshly showered and impecca
