"I won't tell you anything, I can't tell you anything" Valerie replied. A slap landed on his face, Dracaryx had hit him. "when I talk, you are supposed to listen and agree, the next time you disagree with me, I won't be this lenient on you" Dracaryx told him and then he patted Valerie's cheek and left the room. 7Camilla settled down in her bed, she was finally in her room, she had stayed with Dante for two days before he finally repaired her door and allowed her to go back. Her cat sauntered to the bed and snuggled against her, she rubbed its soft fur as she thought about her current situation. She was very attracted to Dante, that was for sure, she wanted to sleep with him, that was also confirmed but did she want to fall in love with him?No! She immediately chided herself, Dante was a bad option for her, besides he didn't do love, he was a mafia head, he had no time for love, she was sure of that. But could she sleep with him without falling for him? She asked herself. Camil
She decided to go ask the madame, after all, the madame would keep her secret. She got up from the bed and went downstairs. 8Madame was busy in the kitchen when Camilla walked in. "Are you busy?" Camilla asked. "Well is there anything you want, I can send someone to do it for you?" the madame asked. "I need your advice on something" Camilla told her. "OK, what is it?" she asked."Can someone have sex with another person without falling in love?" Camilla asked. The madame looked at her quizzically, "why do you ask Camilla?" she asked. "Well, I was just curious about it" Camilla told her. The madame was sceptical but still decided to answer her nevertheless. "Well it's different for everyone, if you have sex, that is you treat it as a means to get pleasure then there is a guarantee that you won't fall in love, but if you treat it as a means of showing affection or love then yes, there is every guarantee that you will fall in love" Madame told her. "Thanks madame that was rea
They were in the car and Dante noticed that Camilla was distracted. "normally, you would be a chatterbox but today you are oddly quiet, what is it?" Dante asked. "Nothing, I just want to be quiet" she replied. "I don't think you and the word quiet can be used in the same sentence" he told her. "Fine, I am just worried about the meeting, I hope nobody is going to pick on me" Dante turned her face to face him, "Camilla, nobody would dare do that to you, you belong to me and nobody would dare me" he told her. "But Vanna did" Camilla pointed out. "Nobody except spoiled daughters of mafia lords not in the alliance" he replied. Camilla shook her head, a ghost of a smile lingering on her face. "I am so worried" Dante said. "Why? What's wrong?" he asked. "I am worried about Valerie, I don't know how he is doing, if he is okay or not" he said. "You haven't heard anything from him?" "no I haven't and I am so damn worried, you know a lot of people probably think I and Valerie don't
Dante looked up and it was as if his heart stopped working, "Paula" he whispered. Camilla looked at the both of them confused, who was this woman? Why was she hugging Dante so tightly and why was he looking at her like she was a dream. If she felt a stab of Jealousy, she refused to acknowledge it. "How have you been?" she asked him. "I am good, you?" he asked in return. "couldn't be better" "I was so excited when Paulo said that you were coming over, I rushed down to welcome you" she said. "How is New York?" he asked her. "Good, now come in, everyone is waiting for you" she said as she pulled him inside. "Come on, let's go inside" Geremia told her, apparently he had been standing beside her while she had been transfixed with the sight in front of her. "Who is she?" Camilla asked as they walked into the house. "Paolo's younger sister" Geremia replied. "So she is close to Dante? I thought Paolo and Dante hated each other" Camilla asked. "Well she was his first girlfriend, s
"They used to date each other?" Camilla asked Geremia. "Yes, as a matter of fact, she was his first girlfriend" Geremia replied. "Wow, did he used to hate Paolo back then too?" Camilla asked. "No, they were very good friends back then" Geremia answered. "What went wrong then?" Camilla asked. They were in front of the room where the meeting was to take place. Geremia turned to look at Camilla. "You seem very curious about this matter, why are you so curious?" he asked her. "I just want to know more about my boss, is that not normal?" Camilla asked. "Hmmmm, are you sure it's not because you are feeling a little jealous" Geremia asked. "Me, jealous? I have no reason to be jealous" Camilla denied. Dante came out of the room and looked at the both of them suspiciously. "What are you doing outside?" he asked them. "nothing, we were just about to enter inside" Geremia replied. Dante reached out and grabbed Camilla's hand and pulled her inside while Geremia followed behind, a mis
Paolo sat down at the head of the table glowering at the both of them, at least someone else was not happy with how close the both of them were sitting, Camilla thought to herself. She looked around, Ferrante hadn't arrived yet, she was eager to see how the poison was working. "Ferrante isn't here yet, was he informed about the meeting?" Antonio asked. "Yes, I called him, his wife picked it up and assured me that he would be here" Paolo replied."Silvana?" Dante asked. "Yes, Silvana, unless he has another wife, I am not aware of" Paolo replied sarcastically. 11Camilla looked between the two of them, they were both angry, she hoped they wouldn't fight. "I am just saying that it's highly unusual for Ferrante to give Silvana his personal line to pick up his phone calls" Dante said. "So are you trying to say that i am lying?" Paolo asked."Boys, enough arguments, let's wait five more minutes, if Ferrante isn't here, we start the meeting without him, okay?" Paula said. "Okay" they
Camilla rolled her eyes as Paula played peacemaker, she was willing to bet that Paula was partially responsible for the deterioration of the friendship between Dante and Paolo. The door opened and Ferrante entered inside the room accompanied by Silvana. Camilla took one look at Ferrante and knew the poison was working. He looked drained and tired, they were dark circles underneath his eyes. "Ferrante, are you okay?" Antonio asked. "Yes, just tired, that's all" Ferrante replied as Silvana helped him get into his seat and sat down beside him. "You shouldn't have come if you were sick" Dante told him. "It's okay, Silvana here will help me out today and subsequently she will be replacing me in the other meetings" Ferrante replied. The rest of the heads looked at each other in surprise. "Uhm, are you sure?" Antonio asked. "Yes, I am sure, or is there a problem?" he asked them. "No, not at all, there is no problem" Antonio replied. "Let the meeting start" Paolo said in an attempt
The room was filled with tension at this point. Paolo and Dante were glaring at each other with deep hatred. "Paolo enough! Accusing Dante without evidence like this isn't right" Paula said as she tried to mediate peace between the both of them. "Leave his side immediately and come here, he can't be trusted" Paolo said as he glared at Dante. "I guess between the both of us, we both know who can't be trusted, who is the real betrayer here" Dante said as he glared back at Paolo. "Enough, the both of you. Quarelling like this won't help matters" Antonio said. "He started it by accusing my brother falsely" Dante said as he pointed at Paolo. "Paolo should have worded his accusations better but Dante you have to admit that there is an iota of truth in his accusations, your brother is part of us and he knows about our secret warehouses, business, armouries and all the rest. If more attack keep happening by the Vitale family then we will have to assume that Valerie is the one giving out
Dante had never been more furious in his life. He was pretty sure Vanna had something to do with Geremia's disappearance."Now Dante, I have other things to do. When you do see that cousin of yours. I would accept an apology from you" he said and walked away.Dante turned to Valerie. "I need your guys on this case. We need to find him" he told Valerie."Sure, I will contact Stefano" Valerie replied, he was already sober.He contacted Stefano and told them to look for Geremia."They are on it, they are tracking his phone" he told Dante.
"Why are you asking about my daughter, Dante?" Mr Vegas asked."Well we are looking for Geremia and we can't find him anywhere, we wanted to ask her if she had seen him" Dante replied."well, my daughter has been staying away from him like you requested" Mr Vegas replied."We just want to ask her, it's just a friendly conversation" Dante replied."Well Vanna already retired for the night, she went with her friends for some kind of sleepover, she is an adult, I don't really keep track of her movements. Maybe you should realize that Geremia is an adult as well" he told Dante.

Maybe you should realize that Geremia is an adult as well" he told Dante.
They went inside the house, they divided themselves and went round the house, yet there was no sign of Geremia."Maybe he left his car because he was drunk?" Dante asked aloud."That's not like Geremia at all, he would never drink to the extent that he would need to leave without his car" Valerie said, he was now very worried."His number is switched off" Camilla said."Wait a minute! I don't see Vanna anymore at the party" Dante said."Do you think she has something to do with his disappearance?" Dracaryx asked."Well, there is only one way to find out, we should ask her father where she is" Dante replied.
The party had come to an end and Dante, Camilla, Dracaryx and Valerie made their way out of the party."where is Geremia?" Camilla asked."he must have gone home" Valerie said absent mindedly."Geremia wouldn't go home without telling us" Camilla insisted."But where could he be then?" Ryder asked."isn't that his car?" Dracaryx asked pointing at Geremia's car."Maybe he is sleeping inside" Valerie suggested.They made their way to the car and Geremia wasn't in the car."where could he be?" Camilla wondered."Let's go inside and look for him" Ryder suggested. They made their way back to the house to look for Geremia.
Vanna sauntered close to him on the bed."What's happening is that I am going to have a swell time with you and when I am done, you will realize that I am a great catch" she told him.Geremia struggled with the ropes."You are a sick person, so you realize that? You are going to rape me just because I rejected you?" he asked her.She trailed her long nails down his chest. "Don't be silly Geremia, men can't be raped. I am just going to show you how good I am and what a fool you are for rejecting me." she said with a laugh.
Geremia opened his eyes to find himself on a bed in a strange room. Where was he, this wasn't his room in the mansion.The last thing he remembered was stepping out of the party to go meet Carolina. And thus room certainly didn't look like one of the rooms in the cabin."Finally, you are awake." a sultry voice said. Geremia looked in the direction of the voice to see that it was Vanna.He tried to stand up and then noticed that his limbs were tied to the bed posts."What the hell is going on?" he asked Vanna.
Carolina was still asleep when she felt someone shaking her awake. It was Geremia."Hey, good morning sleeping beauty" he whispered."that's so corny" she told him as she laughed. "I am leaving, I made you breakfast. It's in the microwave, just heat it when you are ready to eat, okay?""Okay. Thanks a lot Geremia" she replied."You are welcome Lina." he told her and then he kissed her forehead.He stood up and left while Carolina settled back to sleep, a smile on her face.Geremia drove back, he was happy and much more relaxed.He got to the mansion and discovered that Dante was waiting for him in his office. "Hey" Geremia said tentatively wondering if he was in trouble."Where are you coming from? Your men said you weren't here last night" Dante asked suspiciously."I uh went somewhere else" Geremia replied hoping Dante wouldn't press him further.Dante looked at him speculatively and then he burst into laughter."What's funny?" Geremia asked."You don't have to hide the fact that
