Carlos’s uncle went inside the heavily guarded place to have a word with the authorities. After a few minutes, he returned with a few officers who led them inside the base. They asked the group to wait in the visitor’s lobby instead while they went to summon Amelia. “We can’t allow you to the quarters. It’s against the rules. Mrs. Ricci will join you in a few minutes. The meeting will take place in the presence of Officer De Felice.” “That’s fine. We will wait,” said Carlos’s uncle. They sat waiting while Nikolas leaned in towards Carlos. “How are you planning to start the investigation?” “I’ll fit my spies and find out if Matteo is working for Di Salvo. Let’s find out if he is alive. Then we’ll plan the next step.” “Yes. Five years is a long time. If he was alive, he would have found a way out of this mess,” said Brandon with a sigh. “Let’s not jump to conclusions. First, let us talk to Amy,” said Nikolas. The door opened and a haggard Amelia walked into the room, looking puzz
Dangerously Tempted Chapter Seventy-Seven - A Breakthrough
Aldo returned with a worried look on his face and sat down beside Carlos. “What did he say?” asked Carlos.“Giuseppe has been with Di Salvo in Catania for the last few years, ever since he joined the gang. They’re shuffling between Palermo, Catania, Ragusa, and Agrigento to escape the cops. He has never met Matteo during his association with Di Salvo.” Carlos frowned at the information, wondering if Matteo was alive. “He offered to ask around in the gang. There are old members who had been with Don for the last five to six years or even more. They would surely know!” “This is urgent, Aldo. I want the information immediately. I have only 24 hours to find out about Matteo. I’ve promised his wife!” Carlos got up to pace the floor, his mind in a state of turmoil. Giuseppe was a new member of the gang, and he wouldn’t be of much help. He needed someone who had been with Don for the last ten years. Who could he turn to for help? “Let’s go to meet Don’s old chauffeur, Viktor. He just reti
Dangerously Tempted Chapter Seventy-Eight - The Rescue Mission
“Nice to meet you here, Carlos! Let’s catch up! I have a good proposition for you. Get inside my car!” said Luigi, as he stopped a few feet away from him. “Why don’t you get into my car instead?” said Carlos, still on high alert. “Ask your men to step back,” Luigi asked his men to stay in the car while he followed Carlos into his. Carlos climbed into his car, but he was on high alert in case Luigi’s men attacked him. There was no trusting Luigi and his men. “So, how have you been, Carlos? I heard you’ve been searching for your cousin?” asked Luigi with a crooked grin. Carlos wanted to smash his crooked face into a pulp, but he took a deep breath to calm himself down. “Yes, I am. Let’s come to the point, Luigi. What do you want from me? Why are you tailing me?” he demanded, not in the least perturbed by Luigi’s awareness of his motive. “I can help you rescue Matteo if you help me kill Don.” His request didn’t surprise him at all. “How can I believe you?” he asked instead. “You h
Dangerously Tempted Chapter Seventy-Nine - Matteo Takes His Revenge
Inside Di Salvo’s Mansion/Headquarters, Hammam Al Agzaz, Tunisia, Africa. “Don will arrive here any minute,” said a guard of the dungeon. “Here? Are you sure? He hasn’t been here for the last five years,” said another guard in disbelief. “He has some work here. He will stay the night.” Matteo strained his ears, listening with interest as he carried the empty food trolley back to the kitchen. So, Di Salvo will be here tonight. This was the opportunity he had been waiting for. It was now or never. He had to take his revenge on the man. For the last five years, he trudged on like an automaton with only one hope. Revenge! He was mentally unstable, but he meditated every day to keep his sanity.“Matteo, make Don’s special breakfast tomorrow morning. He will leave afterward,” said the guard. Matteo nodded, a plan forming in his head. They would open the prison lock to allow him access to Don’s kitchen. He wouldn’t eat food cooked in the dungeon’s dirty kitchen.“Open the lock. I need t
Dangerously Tempted Chapter Eighty - Where's Emilia?
Carlos, and Donovan accompanied Matteo out of the house for the first time since Mariano came to power. “It’s such a beautiful morning!” said Matteo, breathing in the fresh air outside the house. “Yes, it is. So do you remember me? I’m Carlos Sorrento. We’re both related to Evita, your cousin.” Matteo smiled and shook his head. “No, I don’t remember you now but maybe I will soon.” “Yes, I’m sure you will. This is Donovan, my best buddy. We both used to work for Don long ago. Do you remember your cousin, Rafael? He died, but he too used to work with us.”“Good that Rafael died,” said Matteo as they walked down to the main gates. Carlos immediately turned towards him with a frown. “Do you remember Rafael?”“I don’t remember distinctly but I think I’ve heard the name a million times. He harmed someone close to me.”“Yes, he harmed your wife’s family. They died in the accident he was in. It’s a long story,” said Carlos, not going into the details now. “Do you remember your Mama, your
Dangerously Tempted Chapter Eighty-One - Matteo Reunites With Amelia
“Emilia has gone to the school nearby to drop the children off,” said his Mama, wiping her eyes. “Children?” asked Matteo in confusion. “Yes. We have been blessed with two baby girls, your daughter, Mariella, and Marco’s daughter, Angela.” “I remember Angela! She was tiny when I last saw her,” said Matteo with a smile. It was strange that the moment he saw them, he started remembering his past. “Wow! Your memory is coming back, Matteo. It’s a great sign,” said Brandon. “I’m sure he will remember everything soon,” said Carlos’s uncle. “We will leave now, Mrs. Ricci. The paperwork is complete. You are free to return home. Both mafia leaders are dead and their gang has been arrested.” They thanked the officers profusely before they left. “We will go back to Sicily, to your Pápa’s house,” said their Mama. “You can stay at my house for a few days before you leave, Aunt Bianca,” offered Carlos. “Thank you, Carlos, but I want to go home now. It’s been so long since we lived there,”
Dangerously Tempted Chapter Eighty-Two - A Sweet Moment Of Love
This time, the kiss was hungrier and more passionate than earlier. It had finally sunk into their brain that they found a second chance with one another. It was truly a blessing that a few fortunate ones had. After losing all hopes of reuniting with one another, they just couldn’t get enough of the other. The entire world ceased to exist around them. It was just the two of them and their feelings for one another. “I don’t know how I lived without you, Emilia!” he said, at least breaking the kiss and pulling her close to his chest. She could hear his heartbeats pounding inside his rib cage. “It still feels like a dream, Matteo. Do you know we have a baby girl? She’s now five!” “Yes, Mariella?” Amelia gaped at him with a surprised smile on her face.“How did you know about her?” “I met Mama, Marco, and Viola before you arrived.” “Oh, that was why Viola called me five times when I was in Mariella’s school.”“Will Mariella accept me? I kinda look scary now!” said Matteo with a ruefu

Would she love him as Angela loved Marco? He had wanted to be in her life but was helpless! At five, would she understand his inadequacies? He gripped Amelia’s hand, having second thoughts now about this meeting. What if she insulted him in front of the entire school? “What’s wrong, Matteo? We’ll be late. Mariella’s dispersal is fifteen minutes earlier than Angela’s. I have to hurry to collect both on time. We will then visit the administrative office.” Matteo released her hand and stood near
