Elowen:In an hour plus, I was all dressed up, standing in front of the mirror to check out the beautiful black dressed I had picked out. Looking myself made me remember the times Dante would slip his hands around my waist in front of the mirror or place jewelry on my neck.My hands went around my neck as I shut my eyes, imagining his hands on me.“What are you doing?” Guilia cut my thoughts short as she barged into my room.Startled, I grabbed my purse from the table.“I was just grabbing this,” I said, and she rolled her eyes.Her phone rang, and she dropped my phone on my table, walking out of the door. I picked it at once, checking it to see that it was still bare. There was no sign of Dante.When I heard her footsteps approaching, I shoved the phone in my purse.“I’m ready,” I said with a grin.“Good, but I feel like I forgot something, but I don’t know what.”She left the room, and I heaved a sigh, walking out. I tried not to let the thoughts of Dante get to me.So I kept my hea
Elowen:Kissing Glenn felt good, but not as good as Dante. But my heart ached so badly that I didn’t want to pull out because of how comforting his kiss was. But the more I thought of Dante, the kiss became less enjoyable, causing me to pull away.My entire body was engulfed in shame and regret. The only thing that kept me together was the fact I was in public and in front of Glenn, who would keep me from crying even if I wanted to.“What?”He asked, and I shook my head.“It’s not your fault, Glenn, and I left out the part that I am married. My husband would kill you, and I wouldn’t want to be the reason you ended up in a body bag.”He chuckled when I said this, but my face held no atom of amusement.“He wouldn’t dare, and maybe when he comes around to kill me, I’ll teach him a lesson for hurting you. When I’m done with him, he’ll never come close to you.”His words were sweet, but he didn’t know he was dealing with Dante.“So, what do you say? I’m enjoying my night, and we can make i
Elowen:Guilia and I had a sad, filled night. We bawled out our eyes because of two grown men who we gave our hearts to.Guilia yawned. “It’s morning, Elowen.”My entire body ached because of my broken heart, which made me unwilling to get up. I wished I could fall asleep forever so that I wouldn’t face reality.“I’m going,” she said, and then she pulled her hands away from my body with a yawn while I shut my eyes tightly.I expected her to leave quietly, but she screamed, causing me to jerk up to see Dante sitting on the couch in my room with a drink in his hands.“Morning ladies,” he uncrossed his legs, sipping from his glass.Guilia sighed, standing up from the bed.“Dad, what are you doing?” She frowned at him, and he stood up, closing the space between them.“Heard that my precious daughter celebrated my absence, so why not ruin that for her?” He touched her nose with the tip of his finger with a smile on his lips.“Ugh,” Guilia rolled her eyes, picking her purse and heels. “If y
Elowen:Dante pulled me into an unending kiss, ravaging my body with his touches. At first, I thought he was just going to have sex with me, but he pulled away.“I have something for you,” he said, grabbing my hand.“But I haven’t had a bath, and…”“You are pretty in whatever you wear,” he said, and I knotted my robe.He pulled me away from the room and down the stairs until we came to a halt in front of the dining room, which was shut.Glancing briefly at me, he pulled the door open to reveal a long table of breakfast. My face fell at once, because I had expected something better than breakfast to entice me. I mean, I eat like this every day.He walked into the room while I stood for a while, thinking of the best way to deal with his prank. He had to be kidding me if this was the big surprise. Even Lee could throw me a breakfast banquet in my room.“I picked these out for you,” he said, and I looked up and saw him holding a gigantic bouquet.I was about to protest about it, but then
Elowen:“Tell me it isn’t true,” I said to Dante, who stared at me blankly.Why did he think it was okay to hit someone in the slightest? This made me wonder how he had not hit me all this while.“My actions are not coordinated with you,” he said, trying to hold me, but I withdrew my hands, crossing them to my chest.“..And attacking an innocent man was part of the plan?” I asked, and he sighed. “That was what you spent your entire night doing.” I scoffed when I remembered the book bouquet.“Did you even make the bouquet?”“Yes,” he answered.“I have men to do my dirty work, and I do not have to be the one to punch Glenn in the face.” I scrunched up my face when he said this,Was this supposed to be some kind of achievement or something to brag about?“I’m sorry, and I will try my best to keep my emotions in check.” he said, and I nodded.“Of course you are. You will always be, but you will never change,” I attempted to leave, but then he held me back. "Dante, I got your apology, but
Dante:One thing I have learned is to be a step ahead of your enemies. Guilia was charming, and I knew it would be difficult for Flynn to resist her charm, given that our families were close, but I had double thoughts on the fact that he would betray me.“Mrs. Guerra was seen entering the Victoria building with Ms. Guilia. I met with the concierge and Glenn is hale, and hearty.”“Thank you, Ralph.” I ended the call, leaning back on my seat, poking the ball pen in my hand on the leathery surface of the table.Betrayal had to be my highest irk, because all I could think of was Flynn’s head hanging in my yard, but I considered the fact that Elowen would hate me. We had a smooth deal, and I paid him so much, but he chose to go after my daughter.“Pathetic!” I tossed the pen away, standing.Then I walked to my cupboard to grab a drink, which I poured myself. I took a sip, allowing the whisky to hit the right places as I pondered the best punishment to give Flynn. It was quite difficult bec
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
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
