Dante's pov "hey" Bria Aldini said. "hey, you enjoying the party?" I asked uninterested." of course i am but I would love it more if you could join i and the girls "she said raising her voice above the music, gesturing towards a group of girls." ummmm......... I don't think that will be necessary "I said trying to hide my irritation.Batting her long eyelashes, she said " it is Dante, it is absolutely necessary "I saw aurora walking towards us with a frown and I gave her a pleading look which I am pretty sure she understood because she almost burst into laughter but did well suppressing it. so aurora." Dante, your mom is asking for you, you were not picking up so she got a bit worried. that's so unlike you. "aurora said crossly. with a little sigh" is that so.... I have to go then"I said pulling out my phone pretending to check for missed calls."I am sorry Bria, perhaps another time?" I added with a faint smile."oh, come on, not a problem at all. if you are free before the pa
Aurora's pov"so what have you been up to?" I asked Dante , trying to build a conversation."nothing much honestly, just chilling and living should I say?" he said with a smile."ain't studying?" I added."you know what don't have to try that hard" he said chuckling. dante had the height and body of model. his face was narrow but not scholarly, raw boned but not rugged. it was too much combination of both to be either, his eyes were dark blue. his nose was straight while his hair was dark and full, as he smiled, dimples shimmered in his cheeks. He was a man whom men envied and whom women fawned. my heart rolled over in my chest. how can some one be this perfect? I thought. he looked good in any thing he wore."yeah, true" I replied feeling flustered."you always good at everything" I added with a nod. "I wouldn't say everything" he said looking around "Anna has taught me that or rather pointes it out to me that no one can be perfect, at least not at everything that is........ we
Dante's povThe party was going smoothly until there was a loud crash or should I say bang outside, I saw the guards move from their post by the entrance running towards the parking lot. The DJ turned off the music as the crowd was filled with mumblings. " There is a dead body here" someone shouted from outside. the whole crowd charged at the entrance trying to feed their curiosity. I waited until it was convenient before I walked out of the hall, the people outside were panicking about something. I went towards the parking lot and there was a dead body of a lady on a car, the place where she laid was bent in as I f though she jumped or she was thrown from the sky as blood was dripping off the car to the floor.my thought immediately went to Anna,but I don't think she is .Frowning a bit at the sight,I moved closer to the car to get a full view of the face...........it was Anna,was she? it can't be her, it can't be. Her hair and dress were soaked in blood that gushed out probably fro
Dante's pov " I need the CCTV footage of today's event, both in and out " I said to the security guard. "we checked the CCTV footage earlier but it has not been connected, so today's event was not recorded sir." the security guard responded. " so....... we don't get to know how she got in, how she got up there or..... who killed her?"I sighed. " interesting, isn't it ? ". " killed her? why do you keep suggesting or emphasizing should I say ? that she was killed. maybe she might have jumped off on her own." father Said. " Might, thank goodness you didn't leave that out. that means you also think there is a probability she was killed! suicide? you can't even think for a moment that Anna who was so cheerful, looked forward to a lot of things, knew what she wanted and surely that was not to take her life! no matter how much I hear that , it just sounds hilarious. why will she take her life here and not at home? "I said with a frown. " well... you will never know, maybe something hap
Anna's pov "Abby, Abby!" I called out as I stretched on the bed. her room was just across mine, so we could even have a conversation with both doors closed although we will have to raise our voices. "Don't tell me she slept over at Dante's?" I said out as I sprang up from the bed. I tied my hair up in a messy bun as I almost ran out of the room to Abby's. her room wasn't messy and the bed was made which was what Abby never does, I checked the parlour, kitchen, which was right behind the sitting room and the bathroom but there were no signs of Abby. I went back to my room to get my phone bit it was Abby's that was on the study table where I normally kept my cellphone. "how dare her! she even took my phone? oh, you are so dead when I get my hands on you Abby." I thought aloud. I rushed into the bathroom, washed up, brushed my messy hair and got dressed into an ash sweat shirt and pants. packing my hair into a low ponytail, I put a black face cap over it and put on a black sneake
Dante's pov2years ago. "Aaron wasn't suspended? meaning he was the one who ratted us out yeah!" I said walking down the hallway with Salvatore, Jaden Smith and Harvey shipman. I met both Jaden and Harvey here at school, I can't even say there is a story to how we became friends but ... it just happened. "I am sure he got only penalty points for speaking out, such a jerk." Jaden pointed out, we were just coming from the directors office. he stated how big our offences were and went on blabbering then settled it with a week of suspension. "I wonder where the snitch is hiding but that's no big deal, perhaps, we could pay him a little visit later?" I suggested chuckling slightly. We stepped out of the school entrance, walking down to the parking lot. Jaden and Harvey drove off in their respective cars while I and Salvatore used my car. Salvatore hardly. drove his so it is always at the garage, except if I decide to drive his instead, he doesn't mind. "w
Dante's pov2year ago For the past three days, both and Salvatore stayed at home playing video games, eating or snacking rather, because we ordered lots of pizzas , sleeping and studying. Well... the studying part is all Salvatore, I don't waste time doing that shit.... it always ends up with a splitting headache. "why don't we hire a maid? I mean, it will be more convenient yeah!" I said putting away the dishes we used for breakfast in the dishwasher. "I don't think that so, not quite necessary if you think more about it. both of us are enough for the house chores and cooking" Salvatore said. "come on, I am tired of the chores... school's enough work, it exhausts me" I wined. "Aren't you tired of having everything done for you? we are grown ups now Dante. if you want maid, you could as well go live in an hotel, that's convenient yeah? besides, you have the lesser portion." Salvatore countered. well that's true, Salvatore is practically like a nanny,he does everything while I jo
Dante's pov.2 years ago It was a long line and a warm night. traffic grumbled by, rumbling over the conversation of others who waited. The bouncer was busy checking ID'S of the people queuing up at the door. he wore a suit and a pair of black curves, his dark hair slicked back left with his face unframed. I, Salvatore, Jaden and Harvey walked passed the line towards the entrance door. waving my hand at him, the bouncer nodded pulling the door open for us as we stepped into the wall of sound. Of course, I could enter at anytime because I own it. yup, the club is mine. To be more precise,it is for Salvatore and I but he would never say it is his.I got it from dad for my 19th birthday last year, I named it 'storage 2.0' after a lot of thinking. I did consult Salvatore but he said he was fine with whatever I chose, so I left it at that. I took a moment to take in the sounds, the smell, the beautiful girls. it's been a while. I thought. everyone moving or talking while the music pumped
Dante's pov. "she couldn't have a proper burial and that's killing me slowly Salvatore, I can't bear the fact that she was burnt after falling from such a high place. I should have made sure that at least she got dressed in a beautiful dress, placed in a coffin with people who cared dressed in black, holding flowers around her grave to send her away..... to rest in peace. "I said trying to fight back my tears. " it isn't your fault and you know it. there was nothing you could do so, stop beating yourself up for her death" he said sitting across the room, watching me curled up on the bed , covered in a duvet. I have not left the room for the past three days.... since Anna's death but I have been getting updates on what have been going on outside. apparently, there have been no news about it, everyday the scene pretended it never happened and moved on with their lives. how could they , right?.... yes, they did... perfectly well infact. " I couldn't protect her. I never
DANTE'S POV. I sighted a pretty girl the moment I stepped into the dance floor, I smiled moving towards her. "I am worried my memory is failing, I can't seem to recognize you which makes no sense. I never forget a beautiful lady." I flirted moving along with the lady in a very short black dress. "first time!" she replied "that explains it." I said with a smile. "so you visiting?" I added. "Nope, born and bred" she said still swaying her hips. "you? you seem to be a regular." she chuckled softly. "well.... it's my club. although I don't really come that often." I said. "No way!" she exclaimed. "yes way.... I guess" I replied awkwardly. yup, awkward. "Martha smith nice to meet you...?" she introduced as amusement twinkled in her eyes.her eyebrows raised in question for my name. "Dante bernade, the pleasure is all mine." I said faking a bow. she laughed, my smile widened. "Dante? not American? come. to think of it, you don't look like one." she frowned. "I am Italian actuall
