Dangerous Temptation Missing
"EYES ON ME, WIFE..."Margaux was forced to stop scanning the function hall when a strong arm snaked around her waist. She felt both irritation and warmth creeping through her when the man beside her tugged her forcefully, closing the space between their bodies.Trying not to look up at him, she discreetly wiggled her way out of his hold and smiled at another guest they passed by. She knew by then that bringing Rome to that celebration was indeed a bad idea.As expected, all eyes were on them as soon as they walked into that place. She couldn't blame them since she intended to shock everyone by bringing a very handsome man as her husband.She saw some of her old friends, familiar faces, and even well-known celebrities with whom their family had connections standing in the crowd. The function room was choked with the number of guests. However, not even one soul dared to approach her as she walked around.How could they when she was gracefully walking around with a 'Doberman' behind her

Margaux's world stopped when the dangerous voice tore through her rants. She felt the air thinning. Then slowly, she lifted her head until she was looking at his face.To her surprise, the man before her wasn't wearing anything fancy at all. Instead, he was wearing a pair of jeans and a black hoodie. But, of course, that shouldn't be since the celebration in the function hall was all about him. He was Mr. Rossu's client—the bridegroom himself."What the—Greg?" She felt a sudden gush of fear and confusion wash over her. He was looking at her disdainfully, and it was making her want to run. "How... Why are you—Isn't this supposed to be your engagement party?""Crowd aren't my thing, baby," he cut her off with a grim smile. And for a moment, she thought she saw a monster in him. He didn't even look like the same man she had loved years ago. "I'd rather have a private party with someone than a crowd full of monkeys." He gave her a malicious once over, and the goosebumps that crawled acros

'OH, MY GOD—UMP!" Margaux's scream could have shaken the walls if Rome's mouth hadn't shut her up. For a moment, she tried to wiggle her way out of his grasp. Her resistance, however, slowly melted when Rome's familiar taste spread in her mouth. He was kissing her slowly. Tenderly even, like a husband who was just giving his wife a simple good morning kiss.She closed her eyes and naturally surrendered to him. She held on to his shoulders, tip-toeing and mimicking every pleasant move his lips made toward hers."Umh…" She hadn't recovered from the pleasant surprise yet when Rome abruptly spun her around to face the tiled wall of her bathroom. Her breasts flattened on the cold surface, while both of her hands ended up supporting her weight. There was a hard piece of flesh poking her from behind and causing her womb to ache. "R-Rome...""Good morning, Cara Mia." He kissed her cheek while pinning her with his hand. She lethargically smiled when his overnight stubble scraped her a bit and

"$20 MILLION." Greg's eyes widened in horror as the floor-to-ceiling screen in front of him showed the number. The room he was sitting in was dark, with just the monitor illuminating it. The number blinked in bright red as the robotic voice of the woman behind her announced it through a microphone.There were several program windows on the screen too, like when a team was doing a video call. Most of the people attending that cyber meeting were wearing masks, except for an old couple who looked nervous and unsure.'Mom! Dad!' his mind screamed. Only God knew how he ended up sitting inside that place after his parents called about receiving a red letter. He was barely conscious for days after Margaux's beast husband crashed some of his bones inside the Golden Palm Hotel.Little did he know that the red letter was a Money Game invitation, and Margaux's husband was connected to the Dark Blue. He was still recovering in his ward when a group of shadows suddenly broke into his room at midni

"I don't like this on my head. It's not comfortable—""Bare it."Margaux's mouth shut upon hearing his objection. It was ironic how he sounded pleading earlier; his tone came out abrasive to her ears this time. She wanted to run with how his actions were making her remember something she would rather forget. However, she felt trapped in the comfort of his arms. Thus, she just held on to him more. 'Damn it! Stop thinking, Margaux! Stop—'"Are you okay?"She didn't answer and just shook her head, focusing herself on clearing her mind.It took them a few minutes before Rome and she finally reached the treehouse. She may not be able to explain how he managed to carry her there easily, but she was sure about the disbelief that flooded Rome’s face upon seeing her abode.It was dark inside her treehouse, with only the moonlight illuminating it through the windows. There were holes in the walls. It was far from the matrimonial room she demanded from the unknown man. There wasn't anything insi

It was the empty sheet beside her that woke Margaux up. Instantaneously, her eyes searched for Rome upon realizing that he wasn't beside her. She was wincing when she scanned the room. A second more, and she stiffened, recognizing that she wasn't in her treehouse."Shit!" Her head was spinning when she rushed out of bed. Did Rome carry her back to her room last night? How come she didn't know?She grabbed the alarm clock on her bedside table and cursed louder, realizing that it was almost lunch. The sun was already up, which meant that they needed to go back to being strangers again. Although she wanted to question Rome, she would have to wait until eleven in the evening tonight before approaching him again.'Rules!' She palmed her face while walking to the bathroom. She wasn't the type to regret things she decided on, but she couldn't stop herself because of the rules she made.She had no exact name for what was irritating her. Nonetheless, she was sure that she liked waking up to Ro

'WHAT THE HELL?'Margaux couldn't care less when the gold watch on her hand slipped through her fingers. She was caught between laughing and cursing while sitting in front of her dresser. In her right hand was an envelope, while her left hand remained frozen in the air.It had been two days since a maid handed her that package, but she just remembered opening it today. The past few days had been the happiest for her, and going back to that parcel just completely slipped her mind.She and Rome had been too busy fixing their treehouse and, eventually, violating their 'rules.' Kisses in the morning and sizzling sex at noon weren't exactly part of her plan. But then, those things became so inevitable recently between Rome and her that she started forgetting a couple of things.' This is crazy.' Margaux shook her head while suspiciously looking down at the gold watch. The extravagant gift was from Greg's father. She had already been expecting a parcel from the Montecillo family ever since

[WE HAD A SECURITY BREACH YESTERDAY.]Rome clutched the steering wheel tighter upon hearing Lucille's report. He was sitting alone inside Margaux's car while talking to his assistant over a lapel mic. The afternoon was breezy inside Eternal Garden Memorial Park, but the beautiful weather wasn't enough to cool his temper down.He hadn't been in his best mood since the argument he had with Margaux this morning. Although he succeeded in forcing his cara to take him with her, he also got him on the wrong side of his woman. Thus, she ended up ignoring him the whole time.There was nothing but deafening silence between him and his cara when they drove. Then, as soon as they got to the memorial park where Alicia was buried, Margaux leapt out of the car, walked as fast as she could to her mother's grave, and didn't even look back!"How the fuck did that happen, Lucille?" He breathed in frustration while palming his face. He hadn't gotten over Margaux's attitude towards him yet, and here came

Dangerous Temptation Epilogue
The sun was soft as it shone over Reiti, Paso, Italy. Just like all the good days inside that villa, the gentle waves hitting the shore could be seen from where the Don sat. The mild breeze was playing with his hair as he silently sipped his wine. Soft white curtains were swaying on every open window too, making them look as if they were dancing peacefully with the mild tune he was humming. Alla mia Amata, of course."Papa?"Alejandro pretended not to see the tiny boy climbing on his lap. Instead, he covered his face harder with the newspaper in his hands, as if he were busy reading it. Nonetheless, his senses were at full alert, and he discreetly lowered one of his legs down to make sure that the child would have something to grab on to and wouldn't fall. Only God could describe how the child's mother turned into a monster whenever the child got hurt."Papa...""I'm reading, Romano," he said, dragging the child's name, copying how the baby dragged his. "Lots of news lately that could
Dangerous Temptation The Last Of Secrets and Pains (Finale)
It was the worst battle he had fought. A war where he couldn't tell who was with him and who wasn't. A battle where he had to keep firing his gun while holding his cara and staring death in the face simultaneously.He lost count of the number of bullets his body took for her. His whole body was numbing, but then he just couldn't let go.His mind was empty, unable to recognize who his enemies were. Alejandro's soldiers were fighting like a group of hungry beasts. The group that broke through the gate minutes ago, which he had recognized as Marco's, was just as ferocious.He noticed one of the groups protecting him when he rushed to the parking lot. Some of its soldiers caught bullets for him, willingly giving their lives to assure that he would get where he needed to.He was in so much pain. But it wasn't because of the random bullets digging into his flesh. He knew that pain so well. It wasn't for him, but for Margaux. It was for the child barely holding on inside her.The whole world
Dangerous Temptation Blood Morning
"MARGAUX..."Alberta's voice didn't reach her ears when the now-familiar stab crushed her nerves again. Automatically, her hand found the back of her hips, trying to keep them from splitting in two. The drop of sweat that fell on her fist, resting on her lap, looked blurry. Her tummy was in pain—so much pain that she had to burst out of breath to stop herself from groaning."Are you alright?""Are you done talking?" She tightly closed her eyes. She saw double, and it was the last thing she needed."I said, I'm sorry."She didn't reply. She understood what the old woman, kneeling and crying before her, was saying, but then it just wouldn't entirely register with her. More so when everything in her mind was Rome and him alone. All she remembered was that Alberta mentioned something like 'the Don's son and mother.' Or was it mother that she said?Whatever it was, she felt her heart crunch painfully hearing it, but not half as much as the one she was trying to tolerate while sitting there
Dangerous Temptation The Day Alla Mia Amata Played Again
THE VILLA WAS BUZZING at five in the morning. The scent of food combined with flowers was lingering in the air. The tables—hundreds of them—were carefully wrapped in meticulous white linens. The maids were like bees running back and forth, carrying plates and silverware. Violinists, called out at the most unholy time of the day, were cramming to learn the best and most beautiful music they would ever play: the Alla Mia Amata."You missed the timing; it would mean something different." The Don was in the middle of the crowd, looking down at the poor violinist."S-señor?""It's for my son. Perfect it," he ordered in a cold voice. His amber eyes were piercing, silently warning the musician to get the proper tempo or else it would be the last piece he would play. "You have to perfect it," he gritted, making the musician's knee shake at once with the terror that engulfed him."Y-Yes, señor." The musician barely opened his mouth, reaching for the paper before him to read the complicated n
Dangerous Temptation The Godfather's Child
MICE PLAY IN THE ABSENCE OF CATS. Same as how the envious smaller gods play in the absence of bigger gods. This part happened somewhere between sacred nights and mornings."The Montenegro child has already shown up." A young man gently pushed a pawn across the chessboard. Then, stopping his move right next to the White Queen, he settled the piece and looked up at his competitor."Oh, she did?" His playmate, an older man in his seventies, countered that move by moving the White Queen to eliminate the pawn.That made the young man chuckle. Languidly, he pressed his back against the leather seat he was sitting on. "Yes, Papa. The soldiers found her.""Molto bien..." Satisfaction flooded the old man's voice. He mirrored what his son did. He stretched his back and relaxed, grabbing the wine glass on the table. One sip, and he then asked, "How about God? Did he already show up?""Not yet, papa," the younger man answered, giving his father a brief look before gazing back at the chessboard. "
Dangerous Temptation Voices In The Dark
It was hard to tell if hell was actually a burning place. At three in the morning, hell looked nothing like what the Bible said. It was just pitch black with phone rings and voices.[Hello? She's on her way, God.]"Good."[Should I send the soldiers to meet her?]"Don't. Wait for her to enter our territory."[God?]"He will run after her. Wait for it."...'DRIVING TO THE VILLA. Will talk to Dad. Be back tonight. Love, Margaux'A three-sentence note on the mirror, a little heart smiley, and her name written using her red lipstick were all it took for Rome's mind to melt into broken letters.He was tired, and her arms were warm, so he slept. He should not have.Who would have thought that it would take only a short while for her to slip between his fingers? Like sand seeping down and falling where she shouldn't be?'You lured her...' He blinked his eyes, trying to balance himself as he reached for her name. His fingers were trembling when they touched the cold mirror, hoping that it
Dangerous Temptation The Woman He Called His Life
DARKNESS.Not a single drop of light illuminated the heavens that night—not the moon or even a single star. There was nothing except for silent voices talking in pitch-black."He saw us watching him, didn't he?"[He is smarter than I expect, God.]"Of course, he is!" Pride dripped from that unknown voice as the speaker chuckled. "He is the one and only Romano, after all."[Okay... So what's your next order?]"Drag them back." The god yawned, sounding a bit bored, before adding, "Make sure that the Amati is there once I come..."...ALBERTA WAS CALLING...No, it was better to say that she was bombarding Margaux with her calls. Hundreds of them in the past twelve hours. Nonstop.'Should I tell Rome?' Lifting her eyes from the vibrating phone on her hand, she looked up and scanned the unfamiliar room before her—unpainted walls, grey, and way less colorful than the skin of its late owner, Tat."Why are you just staying there? Why don't you come here?"She jerked upon hearing the man sit
Dangerous Temptation The Day God Moved
GOD WAS MOVING. He was moving his chess pieces so accurately, and no one could tell what was next."Burn it," he ordered before sipping wine from his glass. His voice was calm, just like the wide ocean before him. Santorini mornings had always been perfect anyway, more so, his mansion there. Whitewashed houses line the most beautiful mountain in the world, meeting the blue Aegean waters as they calmly hit the shore.It was heaven with a demon living in it."Burn it down and..." the God chuckled while letting the sweet breeze mess with his graying hair. "... break his other leg. Make sure that he wouldn't have anywhere else to go."...'Cazzata!'Rome's cuss remained unspoken as he watched his headquarters, 'The Romans', burn through nine different TV screens. Thick, dark smoke was rising from the same building he had worked so hard for. From the aerial shot taken by the news channel, he could see the showcase of his bar getting licked by fire. His people were screaming and getting t
Dangerous Temptation Anytime Soon
"I want to see you both in that dress, Cara."Rome felt his chest tighten just by calling her. Could he tell her what was pressing him down on that bed? Or could he at least tell her what was choking him while begging her to wear that dress again? He hoped he could. "Please...""I-I don't have that dress anymore."'This is horrible...' He closed his eyes. Finally finding the energy to move his head. He opened his eyes again and looked at her. He saw Margaux looking back at him over her beautiful shoulder. His gaze then glided down her back, mingling a bit longer on the hollow of her spine, before settling on her hips.Involuntarily, the corner of his lips lifted, although that smile didn't reach his sad amber eyes. 'My baby's growing fast.'"Stop smiling like that while staring at my butt, Caro."Margaux's irritated voice aired, forcing him to look up at her face. The same beautiful face he would love to kiss the rest of his life if he were lucky enough to have some more time left.'L
