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 said,you should teach your kid how to behave in public and not go about bumping into people.And I’m warning everyone of you here,if you dare say any mean words about my fiancé one more time,you’ll see the other side of me!”
Perhaps shocked by her guts,no one said anything more,they all stared at her in in a daze.
“Now,I’m going to go see the CCTV and watch if my man had truly meant to harm your son in any way, if it turns out that your son really bumped into him and stained his suit,you’re going to pay for it.”
With that,Renee grabbed Dante’s hand and walked up to a staff in the store,inquiring to watch the video recording.
Dante didn’t say a work but he had a half-smile on his face.
He had never been protected by anyone like this in his life.He never knew being stood up for and protected by someone could feel so warm and refreshing.
His eyes became gentle and he kept staring at their interlocked hands.
Her hand were small,soft,warm and even sweaty at the moment.Her back was straight,like a pine tree never going to bend.
Dante could see that she was a bit nervous but she was determined on standing up for him.
Dante’s secretary,Max witnessed everything and wanted to come over to help but Dante waved his hand to him,secretly,indicating that he should not interfere.
Max shook his head,helplessly and guessed that his boss was enjoying his little fiancée’s protection.
Shouldn’t it be that a man should always be the protector?
It was amusing to see the roles being exchanged.
The CCTV footage showed that it was all the kid’s fault.
As soon as the crowd also watched the footage,they became silent.Afterall,Dante didn’t purposely try to scare the child,he was simply minding his own business when the child came onto him and he didn’t deserve the hurtful words he was told.
The mother rolled her eyes and thought of another excuse.
“Well,my child’s behavior should be excused because he’s just a child.Even if he didn’t mean to scare my child,your face is already enough to cause brain damage to…”
“Enough!I had really wanted to overlook this because he’s just a child but you keep insulting my man so you must pay for the suit.”
“How much can the shitty suit possibly cost!You think I don’t know your kind of people?You must be badly in need of money.”The woman sneered.”Give me the price tag and I’ll pay you half of the price.My husband works in a company for your information!”
Hearing her boastful remarks,Renee smiled,mischievously.
She turned to face Dante and stretched out her small hand to him.
“Tell your secretary to send the tag.We can’t easily let this go.”
Dante stared at her beautiful face,her cheeks were rosy with excitement.
At that moment,it was like standing up for him was making her happy.
No one could really bully her fiancé under her watch!
Dante put his hand in hers and held it tightly.
Renee shuffled and tried to pull back but he didn’t let go of her.
She blushed and her reddish cheeks got even redder.
“What are you doing?I mean give me the tag not your hand.”
“I like you calling me ‘My man’.Keep doing so in the future.”Dante smiled at her,affectionately.
He realized that she really was the perfect woman for him and he was determined to spend the rest of his life with her.
He would never let her go.
Renee looked into his deep eyes,only feeling that they were like deep waters.She could not see clearly what sort of emotions were there but she didn’t dare to stare at them for long.
She felt as if she was naked under his aggressive eyesight.She looked away but let him hold her hand.
Max had already prepared the price tag.This suit was the work of the famous Italian designer Lyon who never puts a tag on this design because he hated to price his works.But Max had asked Lyon for help so he gave him an estimated price.
Renee was stunned when she saw the estimated price.She counted the zeros several times and finally made sure that the lowest price of this suit was 10 million euros.
If the woman wanted to pay half the price,then that was 5 million euros.
When the woman saw the price,she was totally dumbfounded and speechless.
And when she finally found her voice,she started to yell that this was a fraud.
Renee wanted to argue with her but Dante stopped her.
“Leave it to Max.He’ll take care of this.”And then he took off his suit jacket and threw it to Max.
After that,he led Renee up to his car.
Renee got nervous when he closed the door.
“Where…where are we going?”
“You were having a nice time with your cake before it was interrupted.Let me take you somewhere else.”He said and then drove off.
He drove her to a Japanese restaurant.
As they walked up to the door of the restaurant,Renee felt people would stare and say harsh words about him again so she held his hand for support.
Dante glanced down at her and knew why she had held him.He felt warmed by her action.
“Do you perhaps feel sorry for me?”He beamed a gentle smile at her and the smile diluted the horrible feeling of his disfigured half face,making him look soft and mild.
If Dante hadn’t been disfigured,his appearance would have looked dazzling and charming.
She blushed and felt somewhat uneasy.
She tried to assure herself that she was only worried about him because they were engaged.
And as such,they should support each other.
So there was no way she could watch him get bullied.
She pouted and denied.
“I don’t.I just feel people do not have the right to condemn how you look.”
He smiled and then tightened his hold on her.
“Come.This restaurant is one of my family’s establishment.”
Renee felt relieved hearing that.At least, the staff here would make sure he was comfortable.
Dante was like a vampire,who could not be exposed under the sun,otherwise,he would be shattered by rumors.
She realized now that he must have gone through a lot of dehumanizing and sad moments in his life.
He must have felt lonely and depressed.
She walked behind him,looking at his back and felt as if Dante was a vulnerable little boy.
She made up her mind not to let anyone ridicule him anymore.
“By the way,what would you have done if those people kept on insulting me even after watching that footage?”Dante asked,playfully.
Renee raised her eyebrows and replied.”I would have fought with them.”
Dante laughed.”Would you have won?”
“Even if I don’t win.I’ll try my best.I will never watch you being talked down on.Don’t worry,you don’t have to face those kind of people alone anymore.”
Dante stopped walking suddenly in front of her and she bumped against him.
“What?”She asked,moving back a bit.
“Do you realize that you just made a promise to me?”
“What promise?”She asked,confused.
“That you’ll stay with me forever so don’t you dare abandon me or I’ll haunt you in your sleep.”
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
Dante was still very livid and he was yet to have his satisfaction as to making Fabiano pay.But he didn’t want to beat him up in front of his father anymore.“Romano,Take him to my house.Since Thiago did a shitty job in raising his son,I’ll help him to teaching Fabiano a lesson he’d never forget.”Romano quickly went forward and grabbed Fabiano.Fabiano was trembling all long and he was in so much pain but thinking of the torture Dante would put him through if he gets locked up in Dante’s house filled him with dread.“Grandpa,help me!Don’t let him take me to his house.He’ll kill me…please help me…please call my father.”Gustavo glanced at Dante and swallowed.He knew that Dante was still very much upset and asking him to forgive Fabiano would be fruitless.After Fabiano was taken away,Gustavo said softly to Dante.“I know what he did was wrong.He had badly hurt your woman.But he’s still family.You can punish him however you want,just don’t kill him.”“I’ll try not to.”Dante’s tone wa
“What about Fabiano?”Renee asked.“I’m going to make him pay for doing that to you.”Renee quickly shook her head.”Just let him go.Afterall,he’s family to you.Plus,he’s your older brother’s child.I wouldn’t want you to have a fallout with him.“Dante smirked.”Are you worried about me?”He was surprised that she sounded worried about him.He had expected that she would want Fabiano to be tortured to death but instead,she didn’t want Dante to get in trouble with his family.This little girl realky cared about him.“Of course I am.You’re my fiancé.Even if Fabiano had really hurt me and I want him to pay for it.I also do not want you to do anything extremely bad to him.I just don’t you to be at war with your brother.”She held his hand tightly for fear that he might do something impulsive.Dante had mixed feelings.He felt touched when he stared into her eyes.In Renee’s eyes,he was the ugly third son who was in a difficult situation.As much as he wanted to protect her,she also wanted to p
“Of course..of course not.”Renee stammered.“Renee,if you’re attracted to him,I think you should get over your prudish attitude and start sleeping with him.It appears you don’t hate him so you need to create a bond with him.If you want your relationship to last,you must find ways to grab his heart.”“For what?Why doesn’t he try to grab mine?”“Stop being so silly.Do you think a man like him would easily like you.You’re not from his world.What’s more?Your family isn’t wealthy.You need to make him obsessed with you.You need to start dressing up in classy outfits and putting on more makeup.”“I don’t think I have to do anything extreme.If he ever gets to like me someday,I want him to like me for who I am.”Renee said,stubbornly.At the end of class that day,Dante came to pick Renee up himself which made Allegra think that the man might be in love with Renee already.********There was only one professional class the next morning and Allegra came to find Renee after the class.Allegra who
Renee felt more drawn to Dante now.He had been through so much and she could finally understand why he was this way.She didn’t find him terrible anymore…not even the tiniest bit.**************Back home,the servant had began to prepare sobriety soup.The servant said that Dante had a weak stomach and so could not have too much alcohol,but it was necessary to have this soup every time.Since she was going to be his wife soon,she decided to learn how to prepare the soup herself.“Mrs Moretti is really caring towards her husband.”Though she wasn’t married to Dante yet,his servants had changed the way they address her.Renee blushed and couldn’t help eying them.“I just don’t want him to be in a drunken brawl.”Time flew by.She had been waiting for Dante since 8;pm and now it was half past ten.She felt herself becoming more of a wife to him each passing day and now she was currently staying up late,waiting for her dear husband.She felt a little sleepy so she decided to close her eyes
“Jerk.”Renee murmured as she got dressed.Just as she turned around,she found the door opened and Dante was staring at her,leisurely.She was slim and had no flab at all.Her skin was smooth and glowing and her back looked like silk.Her ass wasn’t big but it looked very soft,he wanted to spank her.Gently though.He could still remember how she had almost cried when he had kissed her,roughly.His little wife was very delicate and he needed to be soft with her.“Why…why are you peeping at me?”“You left the door opened.I thought you invited me to watch you.And besides,we have to get used to seeing each other’s bodies.”“You better not try anything.”She warned and got into the bed.Dante sighed.Was she forgetting that he was a man and he had blood flowing through his veins?How long could he control himself?Renee used to think that her bed was big when she slept alone,but when Dante lay down beside her, she suddenly felt that the bed became too small.Even if he wasn’t doing anything t
“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
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
