Hello everyone, I am excited to work on this project, and I hope you all enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it
Dante:I couldn’t stop thinking about Elowen, which made it difficult for me to sleep the whole night. It didn’t intend to make her cry, but the way her face beamed with innocence touched my heart. My emotions were all over the place, and I tried to convince myself that it was simply the weight of my new responsibilities piling up. I got out of bed early and dressed because I needed to inspect every corner of the house, just like my father did. I had to ensure that my order was followed to the letter.Before I left, I looked at Elowen, who was fast asleep on the bed, and walked up to her, kissing her forehead gently before exiting the room. A guard holding a platter greeted me.“Mr. Romano Saccone’s hand on a platter, as you requested,” he said with a bow, opening the plated hand preserved in formalin.“Place it with the others.” I said, and he nodded, walking away.As I walked down the hall, I heard doors close. Of course, my relatives were upset about my decision, but I couldn’t ca
Elowen:I stirred from my half-slumber, disoriented and tangled in the twilight haze. The gentle rap on my door echoed throughout the room, jolting me into consciousness. As I blinked, I realized night had arrived. I stood up from the bed and walked to the door, which I opened to reveal the maid I had knocked out a few days before. She had paper bags in her hand.“Hy,” I smiled and waved at her, with a heavy burden of guilt inclined on my shoulders.Her face was straight, and she did not reciprocate the smile. I cleared my throat.“I apologize for the last time, and...”“You do not have to apologize for that. Mr. Dante assigned me permanently to you,” she said, and I tried to keep a smile on my face.I had never been assigned a personal maid, and now that I had the opportunity, it had to be her; I was really on a losing streak.“He says he will be home in an hour, and you should be ready,” she said, and I made way for her to enter the room. “The name’s Lee,” she said.When I shut the
Elowen:I jolted awake from my slumber and looked around to see that I had returned to Dante's house. This time, it was not the General Guerra Mansion. It was the room and bed where I lost my virginity to him. The more I looked around the room, the more I realized something was wrong: Dante was missing, and it was late.I got out of bed, and opened the door, then I walked into the large and brightly lit hallway. Everywhere was quiet because this house belonged only to Dante. I felt shivers down my spine as I walked because I was scared of being alone in a house as large as this, and the oil paintings that hung on the wall seemed like they would come to life at any moment and attack.I was not sure where to look at first, but as I approached the stairs, I heard a guttural scream that startled me.As I walked down the stairs, the screams grew louder. A few steps later, I found myself standing in front of a large metal door at the end of the downstairs hallway. I was hesitant at first
Elowen:“Are you ready for your special day?” Dante asked, kissing my forehead, and I nodded.My father homeschooled me, so I did not have a certificate, but Dante offered me a job at one of his bars, which I accepted. It was preferable to lying down all day doing nothing.We had just finished taking a bath, and Dante was getting dressed while I stood wrapped in a towel, watching.“What?” He asked when he was done with his pants, and I raised a brow. “I understand I am sexy, and if you want to help me with my tie, I will let you touch me,” he said, and I hissed.“I have got nothing to wear. I rarely go out, and my clothes are at the estate.” I said to him, causing him to pause with his tie loosely hanging on his neck.“That never occurred to me.”“Of course,” I replied.He went to his closet and took out some clothes.“Here, you can choose from these.” He said, tossing the clothes on the bed.I went through the clothes, only to discover sweatpants and shirts in the pile.“What are th
Dante:Giving Elowen a job was the last thing I wanted to do, but I had little to no option. I could not understand why she did not want me to punish the guy. As much as I wanted her to be safe, I kept checking my phone every minute, hoping she would call because she had run into some trouble and needed assistance, or because she had finally realized it was not best for her to work, but my phone did not ring.I had a meeting with the Cobra Cartel, the whisperers, and Blanches on the dormant sales of drugs in the city. Things were better when my father was alive. He was the untouchable man in the entire city, and everyone, including the police, feared him. Now New York was almost dead, thanks to my idiot brother, who had only siphoned the funds.With one last look at my phone, I stepped out of the car parked in front of the warehouse. Ralph, my chauffeur and trusted bodyguard, opened the door for me, and I got down. Then I walked towards the warehouse’s entrance, where some men stood
Elowen:As Dante led me to the car, Fred dashed towards us. Dante opened the door for me and asked me to enter, then closed it to speak with Fred.“Thank you very much for alerting me,” he said, and my eyes widened.I was trying to be macho earlier, but after what happened, it dawned on me that I needed Dante more than I realized.“I am sorry for what happened. Please do not take it out on me, sir; I had to get my kids from school and..”“You do not need to apologize, Fred. I am thankful for you and you have the raise I promised already. You will receive 30% of the monthly profit instead of 20%.” Dante said, and I watched Fred fall to his feet.“Thank you so much, sir.” He said and Dante chuckled, beckoning on him to stand up.This single act warmed my heart as I saw his children in a car across the street. When I looked at the bar, I saw Ralph leading the men and women out.They continued to plead with Dante, but Ralph yelled at them and cocked his gun. When they were all out of sigh
Dante:As we drove home, I stared at Elowen who was asleep in my arms. I never imagined that I would care for someone this much in many years to come. I had a contract, and I had my life with women planned out but with her I was compromising a lot. There was something about her that made me want her more.As soon as the car came to a halt, I opened the door and carried her in my arms upstairs to my room. I didn’t want to go back to the estate yet because I knew everyone would be on my neck for what happened, so I decided to spend one happy evening with Elowen.Gently, I placed her on the bed, then I kissed her forehead and made my way out of the room. As I stepped out of the room, the cool air of the hallway hit me. I needed to clear my head. The gym was my sanctuary, a place where I could channel my frustrations, my desires. When I got to the gym, I pulled the door open and headed to a bench.I pushed myself, the iron bar bending under my grip. Each repetition was a battle against w
Dante:The buzzing sound of my phone woke me up. I groaned and tried to reach for it from where I lay. My hand finally located it on the nightstand, then I opened my eyes to see who the caller was.Francisco Guerra!When I saw the display name, I sat up at once, gently pulling Elowen’s hand away from my body. Then I walked out of the room to take the call.“What is the meaning of this nonsense!” Francisco yelled the moment I picked the call.“To what do I owe this call, uncle Francisco?” I asked, and he scoffed.“I knew we should have done away with you the moment they presented you at birth. You are nothing but a disgrace to this family!”“I do not appreciate to be called up at this point of the day this early to be insulted.” I said. “Goodbye uncle.” I said calmly and I end the call.I walked back to the room and Elowen tuned to face me with a smile on her face.“How was your night?” I asked, sitting on the bed.“Quite peaceful, but you had to leave me.” She said, and I caressed her
