Dangerously Tempted Chapter Thirty-Eight - Agreeing To Marry Ryder
“Amy, can we postpone the wedding date to a month? I’m sure Brooklyn will want to marry me once she gives birth. Nikolas had forgotten her and she would want a father figure for the twins,” said Ryder, and Amelia nodded, not at all keen to marry him. Something inside her prompted her not to go ahead with the wedding, yet she couldn’t back out because of their family’s involvement. “I’m in no hurry to marry you, Ryder. You’re free to opt out completely and save me the trouble.” “I can’t. My uncle, aunt, and your parents are going overboard with this wedding. I don’t have any say in the matter now.” “It’s better to opt out now than when the preparations are through.” “How can I opt out now when I’m not sure about Brooklyn’s decision? What if she declines to marry me? What if she reunites with Nikolas? I would need to move on, Amy.” Upset, he stormed out of the cafeteria without having his lunch. This has been going on for the last few months. They argued whenever they were together.
Dangerously Tempted Chapter Thirty-Nine - Unable To Forget Matteo
Amelia didn’t know if she did the right thing in agreeing to Ryder’s plea. While everyone around her busied themselves with the wedding preparations, she was in a state of shock. Would marrying Ryder mean she would have to forget her first and only love? She looked up to see her mom enter the room. “Don’t look so dejected! You will start a new life with Ryder after two weeks. Cheer up and start packing up.” Amelia nodded, not sharing her mom’s enthusiasm. “Can’t I continue living here? I don’t want to go, mom. Why can’t Ryder move in with us?” Her mom shook her head with a sigh. “It’s the norm, Amy. You have to move in with him after the wedding. There’s no use fighting over it. Try to accept what God has blessed you with,” said her mom, but Amelia shook her head vehemently. She didn’t consider this a blessing at all. “It’s not a blessing, mom. I can’t ever forget Matteo. He lives in my heart, in every cell of my body. This marriage will end in disaster!” Her mom sighed and pulle
Dangerously Tempted Chapter Forty - Imprisoned For Life
Selling the last car off, Matteo reached home to see his family packed up and ready to leave. He would join them in a few days after selling the office space they owned. For the last thirty-five years, his father had run his car rental business from here, but now Matteo had no other option but to sell it. It had been almost a year since he returned home, taking a break from Di Salvo’s work. It had been the worst year of his life. Two weeks after he returned, his father suffered a brain stroke and had to be hospitalized for almost a fortnight. They brought him home, but he was bedridden for almost ten months until he passed away in his sleep. Ever since he had been busy selling off the business and their cars since his mom didn’t want to stay here any longer. They wanted to go to Genoa, where Marco and Viola lived. Di Salvo had sent his men once in this span but didn’t pressurize him to return. Matteo had almost forgotten about him, helping his family in their time of need. “Have yo
Dangerously Tempted Chapter Forty-One - Escaped
All the men dropped their weapons while Matteo waited for their next move. One of them had unlocked his cell to give him food, but the commotion was enough to divert his attention to his boss. Matteo just hoped they would forget and he could use the opportunity to escape.Costello shoved Luigi towards the exit while everyone yelled abuses at him and rushed after them to save their boss. There was chaos all around. Matteo slipped out of his cell unnoticed and followed them out as discreetly as he could. He hid behind a pillar outside the exit to the dungeon, waiting for a chance, when Costello fired at another of Luigi’s men. He pushed Luigi at gunpoint all the way to the main gates, where a car screeched to a halt. Matteo saw his chance and scooted towards the back gates. He hastily climbed, eager to jump to the other side and get away before they detected him.A gun shot echoed in the air and Matteo froze, a bullet piercing into his shoulder blade. Excruciating pain made his entire
Dangerously Tempted Chapter Forty-Two - Amelia Separates From Ryder
Amelia unpacked the last box and arranged the contents around the apartment. It had been two days since she had shifted into this apartment, leaving Ryder’s house. It belonged to her family and had been lying vacant for a while. After Brooklyn left with Nikolas, Ryder had become unbearable. He considered her responsible for Brooklyn’s departure and yelled at her for every little thing. Finally, she had to set her foot down and walk out of the marriage. For two days she stayed at her parents’ house, explaining to them about her predicament. Her dad wanted her to join his business and Amelia agreed but she wanted her personal space for a few days. She was tired of Ryder coming over to apologize and convince her parents to send her back. “Gosh, how could I forget my backpack?” she gasped, picking up the keys and going out. She had to drive all the way to her parents’ house to get her backpack. It had her essentials and couldn’t wait! Gingerly, she climbed into her car and drove over t
Dangerously Tempted Chapter Forty-Three - Gia Helps Matteo
Matteo stood in front of Mitchell Mansion in Brentwood Park for ten minutes, unable to decide what to do. He hadn’t expected Emilia to live in a palace fit for a princess. It was the grandest house in the entire neighborhood, and he glanced at himself ruefully. With bruises all over his body, the bandages still intact since he had to undertake a strenuous flight, he didn’t at all look his best. In fact, he looked like a mobster, with his tattooed and disheveled appearance. What if they threw him out? After a few minutes, the gates opened, and a young girl of around sixteen emerged. She hastened towards the departmental store around the corner and Matteo followed her. He could ask her about Emilia.He followed her into the store and stood beside her while she shopped in the skincare section. Suddenly, her glance fell upon him and she did a double take. Seeing his chance, Matteo smiled at her. “Hi! I’m sorry for following you here, but I’m completely harmless.” Her eyes widened with s
Dangerously Tempted Chapter Forty-Four - Meeting Him Again
Matteo caught her with his uninjured hand to stop from falling to the floor. He helped her to the sofa, a frown of worry marring his features at seeing her reaction to his presence. He hadn’t at all expected her to react in this manner to him. It was obvious she was shocked beyond words.He leaned in closer to revive her, patting her cheek in a feather soft touch. His heart ached at seeing her again. He hadn’t thought he would live to see her again after Luigi shot him. It was a miracle that he was alive. His eyes took in the dark circles beneath her eyes, the hollow cheekbones, the dull look on her face. Why did she look so devastated? Why wasn’t she happy like she was when he saw her last? He watched her hungrily, as if committing every inch to his memory to last him a lifetime. He didn’t know how she would react when she gained consciousness, but at least he could hope to revive the magic they shared. With his fingers stroking her cheek absent-mindedly, Amelia stirred and opened h
Dangerously Tempted Chapter Forty-Five - Matteo Faces Ryder
Matteo gaped at her wordlessly, his food forgotten, his face pale with shock. His worst nightmare had come true. How had he not noticed the delicate ring on her finger? His world crashed around him! At that moment, he just wanted to end his wretched life. Of course, she had moved on, fallen in love, and married the one she loved. How could he have hoped for something else? “I see! What’s his name?” It was all he could choke out without breaking down. He wanted to pick up his luggage and drag his wretched body away from her presence. “Ryder Drayton O’Connell!” Amelia couldn’t meet his hurt gaze anymore. She wanted to tell him her reason for marrying Ryder, but Matteo just nodded, picked up his plate, and walked over to the kitchen. Amelia frowned at the strained look on his face. In a minute, he walked over to his room without glancing at her. “I’ll just rest a bit if you don’t mind.” Amelia nodded, but he had already closed his door. She rinsed the rest of the dishes, but all the
