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
Elowen:“Go hide under the bed,” I whispered to Adjo, my heart palpitating to the highest.My entire body shook as I wondered what my faith would be if Guilia found Adjo in my room. She might never forgive me and Dante. I could never look at him.“Okay,” he said in a low tone, which was loud enough for Guilia to hear.I frowned, putting a hand over his mouth while pushing him towards the bed.Guilia groaned.“I should have known that dad was there, eww, it is your wedding day. Get a grip on yourself,” she said as Adjo got under the bed.I took deep breaths, scattering my hair even more to make it look like I was busy with Dante, then I walked to the door with my hands shaking tremendously. With one pull, I slightly opened the door, plastering my face between the wall and the door.“Matteo said he is here already, and I am so excited. I used this as a cover,” she said, handing the phone over.The cloak of guilt that hung over me was so much that a tear almost escaped my eyes while I fo
Third-person POV:Elowen was too stunned to speak for a while. She had no clue this trip had been in favour of ruining her marriage, and she walked right through it.“Guilia sent Dante out of town, and he kept it from you to let peace reign,” Flynn continued, causing her heart to ache more.She took a step back and almost collapsed, causing“I think I need to sit down in my room, and I need an actual painkiller.”Flynn took her hand, leading her to her room, then helped her onto the bed and rushed downstairs to get painkillers from the kitchen, where he knew Guilia kept the first aid box. He handed it to her, giving her a clean glass of water.Elowen took it and rested her head on the pillow.“Thank you,” she muttered.“I have to leave now because Guilia will be home soon. I trailed her to a club, which I believe she is reserving for her final blow, and now you know her plans. You need to act fast. Call me if you need help,” he said, and she nodded.“She will probably get Eliot in trou
Third-person POV:The ear-splitting tone of her phone ringing woke Elowen up. She groaned, grabbing it to check on the caller. When the name Flynn showed up, she flung it away, and putting her hand across her aching head.“Fuck!” she groaned, pulling herself up from the bed.She walked to Guilia’s room in search of painkillers. On getting there, she gave the door a gentle tap, and opened it to see Guilia still in bed.Guilia opened her eyes sluggishly with a yawn when she saw Elowen, and then she shut it almost immediately.“Please, I need some painkillers,” Elowen said, and Guilia’s eyes flew open at once.She thought it was the right time to feed her some meth in the guise of painkillers. Her lips spread across her face with a smile, and she jumped out of bed.“I’m sorry, you must have had a lot to drink,” she said to Elowen, who supported her aching head with one hand. “Please sit,” Julia grabbed her hand and pulled her gently towards the bed.Then she walked to her closet and retu
Third person POV:“Do you love him?” Eliot asked Elowen, and she looked at him with her brows drawn down. “Answer me, please. I need to know if all I have been doing has been a waste of time. Was he the one who broke your heart?” He asked, and she scoffed.“Eliot, I think you need to leave.” Elowen said in a low tone, placing her hand on her forehead.“I won’t leave until you give me a reason. I love you, Elowen, and I can’t deny the chemistry I saw between the both of you. If he is the reason you are heartbroken, then tell me. I will fly you out of the country, take you…”“Eliot stop!” She yelled, and he came to a halt. “I’m heartbroken because the man who wed me has abandoned me for a month. I have heard nothing about him since he left two days ago,” she said with her voice cracking, and tears hanging in her eyes.Eliot’s eyes widened and his mouth fell ajar.“You.. you are married?” He asked, and she scoffed.“Yes, and that is what I have been trying to tell you the entire evening.
Third POV:“Guilia, what is going on here?” Flynn asked the moment he stepped into the apartment, which was filled with caterers arranging meals on the table in the living room.“I’m hosting a party; I thought I told you?” He asked, and he stared at her, trying hard to hold back on his words.“No, you haven’t, and I need to know why we are doing this.” He said, and she chuckled, getting on her tiptoe to kiss his cheek.“I just want to have a little party. Me, you, Paris, John, Elowen, and her new guy.”His eyes widened when she said this, and he immediately sensed a scheme because he knew Elowen would not willingly set herself up, knowing what Dante would do.“Elowen and her new man? That sounds like you, and I do not support whatever this is,” he said, marching upstairs.Guilia rolled her eyes, turning to see a server walking to the table with a bowl of wine.“Gimme that,” she said, taking the bowl of wine from her.“Here, you may leave now,” she said, handing a cheque to the lady.S
Third person pov:“Babe, I’m sorry that I forgot to call yesterday. The buyers had me lodge in a hotel to make business easier, and I was so tired after the meeting that I…”A beep from another call was interrupted Guilia’s speech, and she paused, checking her phone to see an unknown number calling.“I forgot to tell you, and I’m sorry, babe. I’ll talk to you later,” she said, ending the call.She picked the next call.“Hey, it’s Eliot, and I’m getting ready to go to the mall.” Guilia sighed.“Yea, sure. She’ll be out in a..” her phone beeped, and she saw Elowen’s name pop up. “Great, she is calling, and I am sure you’ll have a great day,” she said.“Oh, I’ll get going then.”“Yes, and oh, can you leave out the part that I told you about her breakup? She would freak out if you mentioned it. Bye.”Guilia heaved a sigh before calling Elowen back.“Have fun at the mall. I will meet you soon,” she said, ending the call and getting out of bed.Her brows curled in a frown as she made her wa
Third person pov:Guilia pretended to grab her purse from the table, but the moment Elowen left, she walked over to Eliot’s table.When Eliot saw her walking towards him, he adjusted his tie, hoping she would present him with an offer to buy his way with Elowen.“Eliot, is it?” She asked, and he nodded with a smile on his face. “I’m sorry for the way my friend acted back then. She just got out of a messy heartbreak and isn’t open to dating again, but I can tell that you’ve got eyes on her.”He raised a brow with a nod as he sipped his glass of wine.“Well, I’m here to make an offer.”Eliot dropped his glass, staring at her while she took a seat.“Well, I must admit, she caught my fancy. I will be in the city for a few weeks, and I would like to try my luck. I might as well surprise my family with a wife,” he said, and a smile spread across Guilia’s face. “So, what’s your offer?” He pressed his lip in a fine line, holding onto the glass of wine with both hands.“Elowen and I are like b
Third person POV:“Good morning, babe.” Flynn kissed Guilia on her cheek, attempting to get out of bed, but she pulled him into a deep kiss, running her hands down his chest.Flynn broke away from the kiss, panting, and then he kissed her more fiercely, and hungrily. His hands rummaged around her robe, undoing the rope and leaving her stack naked. Then he attacked her neck with kisses, cupping her soft breast in one hand while his other hand found its way down to her pussy.Gently, he massaged her throbbing clit with his fingers while Guilia moaned softly in his ears. He slid his hands up and down her wet core before sliding in a couple of fingers.“Ugh.” Guilia mashed her lips into his, tugging his hair violently with her back arched against the bed.Flynn pumped his fingers in and out of her while Guilia’s body writhed with emotions. Their fight for lust and pleasure came to an end when Flynn’s phone rang.“Fuck!” Guilia groaned in a tired tone when he pulled away to attend to the c
Elowen:It’s been two days since the saga between Guilia and Dante. Things had been awfully strange, but no one wanted to say a thing to me. I was in my room, reading a book Dante purchased for me, when he barged into my room.I placed my book on the bed, and I got on my feet, walking towards him. He pulled me into a warm hug, then he gave me a light kiss on the lips.“I have something impromptu to take care of, and I will be gone for a while,” he said, and my face became wrinkled.“For how long?” I crossed my arms while he pulled my hands away, clutching them tightly.“It’s for business and it will take a month or just weeks, but I promise to fill you in on it when I’m back.”I sighed, releasing my hand from his grip.“First, you’ve been acting strange for the past forty-eight hours and you want to disappear as usual. Have I done something wrong?”He shook his head.“Then take me with you.” I said, and he held his gaze for a moment, trying to hold me again. “Of course you won’t, becau
Dante:“No matter what is going on, I have decided to trust you, Dante, but the way you are going with Guilia, I do not think it is right. She is going to think you do not want her to have a happy life.”When Elowen said this, I pulled away from her, staring at her with my mind bugging with thoughts and overwhelming emotions.“First was Xavier, and now Flynn.” She added. “I just want you to be fine, Dante, and I’m here if you need me.” She pulled me into a hug.**I asked Ralph to take Elowen home while I headed to the warehouse, where I kept Guilia and her friends captive. When I pulled up at the warehouse, I paused for a moment to coordinate myself.Elowen was right, and it was high time I stopped treating Guilia like a kid.I walked into the warehouse, which had a few of my men littered around, then I went straight to the guardroom, pulling it open to see the three of them bundled in a seat.I untied the hanky in Guilia’s mouth, and she gritted her teeth.“Have you come to gloat on
