Elowen:As soon as Dante and Adjo struck the deal, he lifted me on his shoulders and walked out of the hotel. Then he tossed me into his car while the driver sped up. During the ride home, he said nothing to me, and it made me worried about what he would do to me. But as soon as the car came to a halt, he got down without saying a word.“Dante, wait, please.”He yanked my hand away the moment I grabbed him. Then he made his way towards the step while I followed.“I’m sorry that this happened, and I…”“Keep it to yourself, Elowen! You had every time in the world to explain to me, and now I don’t want to hear,” he said, but I wouldn’t let go.I followed him to his room, waving the door with my hand before he could slam it shut.“Well, what was I supposed to do? Tell you I let Adjo finger me while we were not married?” I asked, and he scoffed, stopping in his tracks.He turned to face me with his face, which bore nothing but anger. My body trembled a bit, but I knew I had to stand to fac
DANTE:I couldn’t believe Elowen would think that of me. I wasn’t in any way pure, and I didn’t expect her to be. There was something about her that drew me to her that night and it made me want her, but now I can’t help but think it was a mistake.“Daddy, I know you are angry, but I think we need to talk,” Guilia said, and I looked to see her standing by the door with her face drawn down.“I think it’s best if we leave whatever for later,” I said, but she wouldn’t leave.“Can I at least come in?” She asked, and I sighed.“Yes, come in.”She walked in and sat down on the bed. Then she stared at me while I paced around the room.“You are doing that thing again, and this time it isn’t about business, so I think you should tackle your problems gently, because you are dealing with someone very delicate,” she said, and I paused.“What are you talking about?”“You, and Elowen.” She blurted out. “I’m sorry if I’m intruding, but you need to talk to her right now,” she said, and then she stood
Elowen:“Delivery for Ms. Elowen.”Someone knocked on my door, causing me to jerk up from sleep.I sighed as I opened my eyes, then I grabbed my duvet and pulled it over my head.“Tell Dante I do not want his gifts,” I said, shutting my eyes in hopes of going back to sleep.The person pulled the door open, causing my brows to become wrinkled, and I cursed them under my breath.“What if the gift is delivered by Dante himself? Would you still want it?” Dante asked, and I pulled off the duvet to see him standing with a flower bouquet, some paper bags, and chocolate.At first, I assumed it was a dream until he came over and kissed my cheek, causing an inrush of emotions.“I’m sorry for how I reacted earlier,” he said, and I sat up, staring at him without a word.I know I had my share of blame, but at least I didn’t cast him out of my sight, and I would never do such a thing. Did he expect me to accept just an apology?“Maybe I want to be left alone,” I said, and he sighed, putting away th
Elowen:For someone who wouldn’t let me buy revealing clothes, I would say Dante was quite a hypocrite, but a sexy one at that. My gown was butt length, and it was armless.“What is your aim tonight?” I asked when I peered into the mirror to see him watching from behind.“To show off my beautiful fiancé,” he said, and I rolled my eyes.He slipped his hand around my waist and kissed the nape of my neck. Then he placed the heart pendant jewelry that he had purchased for me.“It’s perfect. You are perfect,” he said and my face went as red as a cherry. “Don’t ever think less of that, because that is what I think of you. I didn’t choose you that night because you were a virgin. My heart chose you, and I want you in my life forever,” he said, and I kissed his lips.He was about to speak again, but then I placed a finger on his lips.“Please stop, I might lose it and we will end up staying home. I want to have you right here, but I’m trying to control myself,” I said, and he smiled against m
Elowen:Throughout the entire meeting, Barbara had her eyes on me. I grabbed Dante’s thighs sometimes while he placed his hand on my exposed thighs.“I think I need a drink,” I said, and Dante glared at me. “I’ll be back,” I whispered into his ears, standing up.As I walked towards the door, I deliberately swayed my hips. When I noticed the man talking had stopped speaking, a smile formed on my lips, because I knew right away that I got their attention.The moment I left the room, my phone beeped.“Keep up with that attitude and your legs will be hanging up my shoulder against your will,” he said, and I chuckled, putting my phone back into my purse.I walked to the bar to make an order.“Can I get your finest mocktail, please,” I said and the bartender, who was a slender man with a moustache, smiled at me.“Make that two,” Barbara said, slamming a hundred dollar note on the table.I expected a powerful player tonight, but not a desperate one. Dante wasn’t interested in anyway, but she
Elowen: I knew I had to apologize to Lee for being an asshole but for a while I hadn’t seen her, and wandering the halls of the mansion wouldn’t help because it was too large, plus Dante would never allow me to go to the servant quarters.When I woke up, I expected a lonely day, but then I heard a familiar voice below my window. I dashed towards it, then peered through the window to see Guilia on the phone. She always went for a run in the morning, but it did not seem to be going well this time. “Do you even love me?” she yelled into the phone, sobbing. I felt a wave of sadness because I had been in her shoes; questioning and doubting the person you love has never been a pleasant experience. Also, we both grew up without mothers, but she was fortunate to have a father who adored her, but I could not tell how close they were in their relationships.“Look, I do not care what or who you think you are; if you want to end this, I would be delighted to do so. Who needs you, anyway?”She
Elowen:Before Guilia left, we booked the flight for Matteo, while I sat down the whole As the day slowly came to an end, a sudden wave of sadness engulfed me. At first, I couldn’t tell why I was sad, but then my mind became clouded with the thoughts of being alone at the wedding. Of course, there would be people and I had Dante, but then I barely had family.My mind was so clouded that I didn’t realize Dante had returned until I felt his arms around my waist, and a kiss on my neck, causing me to snap out of my sad, lonely mind.“You are back,” I said in a low tone, turning around to kiss him.I wrapped my hand around his neck, burying my face in his chest, but then he pulled me away.“Something is bothering you,” he said, and I shook my head, trying to lean into his comforting chest, but he wouldn’t let me.“Tell me.” He cupped my cheek.Then I sighed, removing his hand from my cheek, grabbing my shoulder with my face bent.“The wedding is in two days, and I have no family to attend
Elowen:“Don’t fight it Guilia, allow the nice handsome men to take care of us,” I said to her as she struggled to get out of the car.The men in the car drove quietly without a word, and when we drove into the estate, Guilia sank into the seat with a scoff.“At least we are not being kidnapped,” she said.I tried counting the stars in the sky as the car moved, and when we zoomed away from it, I would sink back into the seat. I continued this until the car came to a halt.“Will.. you carry.. me again?” I slurred, walking in zigzags as I got out of the car.I walked to the from door while one man tried to get Lee out of the car. The front for swung open, and Dante walked out, rushing towards me. I chuckled when I saw his face, wrapping my hands around his neck while standing on my tiptoe.“I missed you… my angry ball,” I said, attempting to kiss him, but he pulled me away, grabbing my hand, and pulling me into the house.When he saw how reluctant I was, he threw me on his shoulder and
