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 to her in this so called inspection.
But she tried to tell herself that it was worth it.
She was doing this for her family.
She loves her family and she loves her sister a lot.
She walked through the door and the butler shut the door behind her.
She looked around,frantically.
The room was dark and only a faint light was radiating from the bedside lamp.
“Strip and lay on the bed.”
That voice scared her shitless.
She shakily followed the direction of the voice and squinted her eyes,she managed to make out the broad form of a man.
“Don’t make me repeat myself!”
His cold voice sent shrills down her body.
Was this perhaps the most feared Dante Moretti?
He wanted her to strip?
Was he going to sleep with her right now?
She had always wanted her first time to be with someone she loves.
She had always imagined it being so magical but that clearly would only remain a dream.
She had gotten herself into this so she had to be strong and face everything that came with it.
With shaky fingers,she undid the zip of her skirt and shove it down her legs,slowly and reluctantly pulling her panties along with it.
She felt so exposed, too exposed.
She moved slowly to remove her shirt but then stopped,fidgeting.
“Don’t make me rip that off you!”His cold voice sounded again.
The deep growl he emitted made her shiver.
She felt she was going to get sick right now.
She was trembling with fear.
She tugged the material off and over her head without a word then tossed it to the floor,letting her arms hang down at her sides.
“Get on the bed.”He ordered.
She looked around and finally able to make out the shape of the bed,she walked up to it and laid down on the bed.
She wondered what age was this man.
She had tried to make research on him last night so as to at least know who she would possibly be marrying.
But there were different speculations about him online.
Some said he was hideous and notorious.
Some said he was old and ugly.
Some said he had a sexual dysfunction and that was why he found it hard to be with any woman.
She also knew that no one had dared to offer their daughters to be married to him.
But she had willingly come here.
The most mysterious part about Dante was how hideous people said his face was.
She was naked on the bed as she heard footsteps approaching her.
She trembled even more when she felt the bed dipping.
But her trepidation increased when she felt his hand on her neck.
It was coarse and cold.He didn’t hold her tightly there,but his hold was a bit firm.And then his hand moved, he touched her face and drag his hand down to her chest, her breasts, her stomach.
Her heart was practically in her throat now.
The man fell into a short silence and then asked.”Are you scared?”His voice was hoarse and low.
Extremely nervous as she was,she couldn’t tell whether his voice sounded pleasant or not but one thing she knew was that it was cold,too cold.
Thinking about her family,she took a deep breath trying to calm her trembling nerves.
“I…I am scared but I…It’s okay.”
It was far from okay.
She just didn’t want to upset the man.
The man reached over and increased the brightness of the bedside lamp.
Renee shut her eyes immediately,too frightened to stare at the face that people called an eye-sore.
People said he looked dreadful and she was scared that the sight of his face might make her faint thereby,ruining her chances of becoming his wife.
Dante silently let his hand run down between her legs.
With closed eyes,Renee pleaded.
“I…I really haven’t done this before.Please don’t be rough with me.””
As he continued rubbing her thighs,her body stiffened and she thought she might become as stiff as a stone.Her little hands clutched the sheet so hard that she almost tore it.
Dante stared at her trembling form and smirked.
“Do you know what it means coming here and wanting to be my wife?”
She slowly nodded.
“What does it mean to you?”He asked her.
“It means I get to be yours for as long as you want me and you…and I’ll get the money in exchange.”
He grimaced, liking her honesty.
She wasn’t sweet-talking him as most women do.
He reached for the duvet and covered her body with it.
No man had ever seen her naked body before and the fact that this man had done more than seeing it made her feel like dying.
She found him repulsive but she had no choice but to be his plaything tonight and his wife, for life.
“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
Dante said it coldly but if Renee had looked at him more closely,she would have seen a slight loving smile on his lips.But Renee had only heard those cold words and it made her swallow.Haunt her sleep?Could he really do that?It was Dante’s treat and Renee didn’t offer to pay at all.After all this man was wearing a suit worth more than 10 million euros.She ate as much as she could and didn’t stop until she was too full to continue.Dante offered to drive her back to her dorm but she asked him to stop at the last traffic light because she didn’t want other students to see his Ferrari.But then he unexpectedly asked for something before she got down.“Kiss me before getting down.”Renee’s eyes widened.”What?”She was sitting in the passenger’s seat and could see the other half his beautiful profile.If girls didn’t see the other half of his face,they would fall in love with him at first sight.She swallowed because she herself was attracted to the beauty of his half face.Dante looke
Renee felt all the blood in her body welled up in her head and it made her face flushed.The close proximity between her and Dante was making it hard for her to breathe, she pushed him away and murmured.“I…I have to go back to the dorm now.You should get going.”Dante shrugged and then informed her.”You’ll be meeting my father at the Moretti’s family’s house tomorrow evening.”She nodded and quickly scurried away.Dante laughed watching her run away like a fleeing rabbit.*********The following evening,Dante came to pick her up.She was going to meet her future father-in-law and Renee felt so nervous.After getting out of the car,she stared at the carved black gate and the towering building behind it,feeling a little terrified.She never ever thought of marrying into a wealthy family,never dared to imagine marrying into the most powerful family in Italy.When she was too nervous to move,Dante held her hand,tightly.The warmth of the palm and the constant flow of power from it unexpe
The servants could not believe their ears.Dante’s woman had tried to seduce his nephew?!One of them quickly rushed to inform Dante and Gustavo about it.While the others assisted Renee to the house and placed her on the couch.Renee laid on the couch,weak and pale.She had gotten kicked on the back and slapped on the cheek.Not to talk of the hard way he had pushed her to the ground.As Dante descended the stairs,he froze seeing her in such a condition.And then he hurried up to the couch.Gustavo drew his white eyebrows together and hit his cane hard on the floor.“What happened?Who did this to the girl?!”Fabiano stepped forward and tried to be as convincing as possible.“Grandpa,this maid tried to seduce me in the greenhouse.You know I do not fancy people like her and getting involved with lowlives is not acceptable by you so I had to teach her a lesson so she’d know her place.”Gustavo stared at his grandson,squarely.He had heard a rumor about how Fabiano always forces himself on
