“And about what happened to your brother, I have let go. Why can't you?"Bianca felt a twinge in her heart as she said. The person who could not walk out of the shadow was not her, but Dante.The reason he stayed alive was to avenge the death of Lorenzo, to make those people pay."No way."Dante responded coldly, stressing each syllable forcefully and determinedly."Lorenzo has been dead for four years. Would you please just let go? I'm worried about you!"Dante fell into silence upon hearing that.After a while, he clenched his fists and said, stressing each syllable, "I have to avenge his death. I can't let him die in vain.""What about Renee? All you think about is your brother, so what about the girl you love? Have you ever thought about her? It's true that you're moving forward with the heavy burden on your shoulders, but do you think her life is easy? You can bear all those power struggles, but can she?""I'm living for my brother, but also living for myself. I will protect her
The Gallo family sat in the living room having breakfast.Renee,the second daughter of the family diligently served everyone a bowl of soup,at 19,she loved cooking so much.A crashing sound from the living room startled the whole family.They rushed towards there to see six men dressed in black suits,they were all holding guns and they had broken the front door of the house.“Hello,Rico,can we talk?”The leader,Giovanni asked.Rico shakily nodded and turned to face his wife.“Ta…take the girls upstairs!”He ordered and as Maria turned to rushed upstairs with the girls,Rico stopped her.“Let them watch.And I especially want to see more of your daughter today.”He let out,coldly.The women didn’t dare move an inch, scared that they might be shot.Renee and her older sister,Aurora held onto each other in fear.The three women stood by the wall,the sight of the guns terrified the hell out of them.Giovanni sat on a chair,leisurely as he gazed at both daughters of Rico.One of his men moved a
Eventually,her parents had tearfully agreed and they told her that if it gets too much for her,she could come back home and they’d understand.But Renee was determined to get her family out of this predicament even if it meant living a life she never planned.That was how Renee found herself in the Moretti’s family’s Villa.When she informed the security guards of her purpose of being in the house,a man approached her and introduced himself as the butler and then informed her to follow him inside the house.“You’re going to undergo the young master’s inspection today.”The butler informed her.Inspection?What did that mean?Renee swallowed the hard lump in her throat as she continued following the butler.She was too nervous to appreciate how heavenly the Villa was.As they got by a door,the butler opened it for her and gestured at her to go in.Renee’s heart was pounding behind her rib cage.It felt as if it was going to pound out of her chest.She had no idea what was going to happen
“I like your body.”She heard him say.His eyes were still closed and she felt the next thing he would do was to devour her.She willed herself not to fight him and to be submissive so she could also get what she wanted.She had no right to ask for anything but she really hope that he would be gentle.She wasn’t a clueless virgin.She had heard about how much sex hurts,especially for the first time.She let go of the sheet and surrendered herself to what would happen next.She was expecting him to take off the duvet he had covered her with.But he didn’t.She was stunned when she felt his weight lifted off the bed and he appeared to be standing now.“I suppose I can accept you as my wife.But you’re not ready for sex right now.When you are,I’m going to take you.”She was shocked and when she opened her eyes,the man had left.She laid on the bed still in surprise that he didn’t sleep with her.She was relieved but she still felt scared about the whole concept of becoming the wife to a devil
Chad,the butler walked up to the study and knocked on the door.“Did she really leave?”Dante’s voice sounded.“Yes,sir.”Chad sadly,replied.He could tell Dante had already liked this girl but too bad the girl was just like the rest.*********When Renee left the Villa, she slowly walked down the street feeling uneasy.Did the butler really mean what he said?That the Moretti would really pay off her father’s debt and that she didn’t need to be married to Dante anymore?She should feel happy about that,right?She should feel free.She would not have to be married to that monster anymore.But Renee couldn’t shake off this unsettling feeling.How can she let them settle her family’s debt without her fulfilling her own end of the bargain?She was the one who had willing gone to the Moretti’s family.Would she really qualified to break the deal?And besides,Dante was too powerful.If he were to bear a grudge against her because of this,he would easily destroy her family.She couldn’t take
Dante stared at the mask thoughtfully and shook his head.“It’s fun to tease her for how.Let it be.Have you found all the information I need?”Hearing Dante’s question,the secretary stepped forward and gave more information to him.“Sir,Miss Renee Gallo is a kindhearted,enthusiastic girl.Everyone in her neighborhood are fond of her.She really is a good girl.““And you should be good to her.I believe that kind of girl deserves a good man.”Chad advised.Dante frowned and couldn’t help reflecting on himself.Was he as bad as everyone had painted him to be?“I want to be good to her.But I don’t know if I can.”“You can.”Chad encouraged.Dante had never cared what people thought about him.Hell,he had wanted people to fear and always be at his feet but for his little wife-to-be,he was willing to consider becoming a good person,a better person.***************Renee felt a lot better after resting for the rest of the day.The following day,she started thinking about going back to school.Sh
Renee never knew her own birth mother.Maria had told her that she had found Renee at her doorstep and with a note that said she was Rico’s daughter.At that time,Aurora was three years old.Rico knew he had an affair with a woman but he had been scared of admitting it to Maria for fear that he might lose her so he had lied and said he didn’t know anything about the baby.Maria had insisted on a DNA test which indeed confirm that the baby was indeed Rico’s.At then Rico had admitted to cheating on her and had begged for her forgiveness.Since the child was his,Rico had no choice but to name the baby and take good care of her.Overtime,he started to grow fond of Renee.But Maria and Aurora never liked Renee.They only pretended they liked her whenever Renee and Rico were around.For years,they had been secretly planning on ways to get rid of her.Renee felt very disheartened on finding out that they never really liked her.And here she was,thinking that they might’ve been worried sick about h
The woman didn’t apologize but continued making a scene.People around them murmured about the situation.“She really has the right to be mad.The man looks like a monster.”“Keep your voice down.What if he’s a pervert or a murderer?I’ve seen a lot of news on TV that some people feel inferior because of their physical defects and eventually become cold blooded murderers.”“I should really keep my voice down.I wouldn’t want him to hear me.”Renee felt sad hearing those words even if they weren’t directed at her.With how Dante’s scars looked,it seemed like he was in a fire incident.She felt it wasn’t his fault that he looks like this and shouldn’t be ridiculed and dehumanized like this.People should be more mindful of their words.Just as everyone continued murmuring,Renee shouted.“Shut the hell up!”The shout made the crowd go quiet in a second.Her little fists were tightly clenched in anger.A trace of coldness rose in her eyes as she glared straight at the kid’s mother.“Like I sai

Renee didn't know what Isabelle was trying to say, so she just ignored it."How beautiful she is! I feel like she's making everyone look less charming. I wonder what kind of man deserves to be with her. I didn't know there were so many beautiful ladies abroad.""Beauty is not the biggest asset of a woman. If a woman is beautiful but vicious, what good will her beauty do?" said Isabelle indifferently.Upon hearing that,Renee felt it make sense.Before the dancing song was over, Mildred stopped and withdrew her hands with disdain, saying, "Let's call it a day."With that, she turned around and left. Her attitude towards that man was rather terrible.But the man did not care at all, instead, his heart was still racing fast for being thrilled.After stepping out of the dance floor, he bragged to everyone that he had danced with Miss Mildred.Mildred left and told the subordinate beside her coldly, "He made me unhappy. Get rid of him tonight. I don't want to see him again.""Okay,Miss Mild
"You don't need to understand. All you need to know is that I'm making money for you to spend.""Have you ever seen any member of the sponsor? That family looks mysterious. Do you know about them?""Not much. They don't have their own independent company, but they're shareholders of most of the industry leaders in Spain. What's more, their shares take up a large proportion. I heard that the family has carried a duke title for generations, and its wealth is beyond estimation. The BN group is cooperating with the group that has the biggest investment, so it can get more protection.""It sounds awesome. Dante, I met a little girl a few days ago. Her family is rich, and she lives in a castle. They even have a few golf courses. I used to think you were very rich, but now I realize that there are actually many people who are more powerful and influential than you."Dante was rendered speechless upon hearing that.Was he being despised?Dante said helplessly, "Don't run around in this strang
She looked around but didn't see anyone suspicious.With a smile remaining on her face, she pretended to be calm and entered the site.The organizer took her to her seat and told her to take a rest.Each star was assigned a dressing room behind.Isabelle went to the dressing room for a makeup touch-up, and Renee was carrying some bags in her hands, inside which were clothes that Isabelle would need later.While Isabelle was having her makeup touched up, her cellphone rang. She looked at the strange caller ID and hesitated.Eventually, she picked up the phone.But she did not hear anything after pressing the "answer" button."Is this some kind of prank?" she wondered."Isabelle, your makeup is done.""Um. You may all leave. I need to rehearse by myself.""Okay. We'll be waiting outside for you."After they went out, Isabelle was left alone in the room.While Isabelle was thinking about the speech she was about to give, her cellphone rang again.The rapid bell resounded in the large roo
Fine. I won't do anything you don't want me to."The lady interrupted him.Jane became delighted upon hearing that."Thank you, mother."Just then, a servant knocked on the door and reported that Renee had come down.Upon hearing that, he turned his wheelchair and was about to go out immediately, but on second thought, he turned to look at his mother."Mother, would you please stay here until I send her away? I'm afraid she will be restrained. I don't want to scare her.""Ok, I see."The lady responded.Jane was obviously very happy, a joyful smile tugging at his lips, which had never happened before.As soon as Jane left, Dracula went forward and took out a tablet.It was the surveillance video in the house.There were cameras in every room, which nobody knew except for the Lady and Dracula.They were also the only two people who knew Jane was a man.The lady watched the surveillance video and saw a different Jane.He was happier and more talkative.He held Renee’s hand and wrote dow
When the hero leaned over to kiss the heroine, Renee would make a feminine sound, as if she was either excited or shy.When the hero was helping the heroine out,Renee would clench her fists hard, as if she was more agitated than the hero himself.Every time when the hero jumped on the heroine,Renee would cover her eyes, yet peek through the fingers, which was hypocritical.So... this was what she liked!Jane pushed her wheelchair over and stopped in front of her.Reneewas confused."What's wrong?"Jane reached out one hand to press on her side all of a sudden, looking at her with strong affection, her facial expression serious.Because of the sudden approach, she could smell the faint fragrance on Jane's body, which was refreshing, like the fragrance of a flower."What are you doing?"She stuttered."Don't you like this?"Reneedidn't know whether to laugh or cry. She was kind of turned on just now, but... Jane was a girl!"Well, save these words until you become a boy! Naughty girl!"
And also, she would always treat the assignment Isabelle left for her seriously.She was a good kid that had potential talent.Isabelle started to put down her prejudice against Renee. In the past, she merely helped this girl because of Arturo, but now, she started to like this enthusiastic girl herself.She was full of passion and always grateful for those who had been kind to her.She was sincere.After seeing so much hypocrisy in the entertainment circle,Isabelle found such a pure heart precious.She started to realize, with so many other excellent women out there, why her son would still choose Renee.While she was reading the recipe in the room after Isabelle left, she heard some noise in the balcony.Was Dante here?Didn't she tell him that Isabelle would be away these days, and he didn't need to be so furtive?She came to the balcony."Dante, why do you... "Before she could finish speaking, she saw a big man dressed in black.Wearing a mask and a body armor, the man looked mus
Renee was disappointed upon hearing that. She wanted to surprise him, but she was stopped outside."I'm his friend. Can I go in?""Why is every random "nobody" calling herself as Mr. Moretti’s friend these days?" With that being said with contempt, the receptionist started to ignore Renee.Renee felt embarrassed. The receptionist obviously despised her, regarding her as a stranger that tried to climb her way up to Dante.Renee turned around and walked towards the rest area. She was about to call Dante, but she heard the conversation of the receptionists."Nowadays, these people don't have any self-knowledge at all. Why doesn't she look herself in the mirror? Does she want to meet Mr Moretti?Does she think she is the boss of this group?""Exactly. We don't even need Vice President Bianca.We can send her off by ourselves."Renee felt resentful upon hearing that.She was not just any random "nobody"!The phone was put through very soon, and she heard Dante’s voice."Is something botherin
The snow on the street had already been cleaned up, and the ground was wet, not as snow white as she had expected.But now, she finally got what she wanted.Jane was a little agitated, and she turned her wheelchair quickly.The man was about to help her, but Renee was one step ahead and pushed her outside."Have you ever seen fireworks before? It used to be fireworks in this place."Jane shook her head.Renee felt sorry for the girl, as the girl had not even seen such a common thing.Perhaps, because of her fragile physical condition, she had to stay at home all year round, just like a frog in the well, whose activity was limited in a small place.But there were so many interesting things in the world."Well, next time when you come here, you can tell me in advance, and I'll prepare some fireworks for you. But I won't be staying here for a long time. I'll go back in a few days.""We will meet again."Jane grabbed Renee’s hand and wrote down the words slowly.The man was surprised to s
