I slowly opened my eyes only to be met with Dante typing away on his phone with my hand on his chest. He must have noticed I was now awake as he stopped what he was doing. “Principessa, did you sleep well?” He asked as I sat upright, losing contact from his body. “Hmmm” I nodded. It wasn't a lie, I had slept well in a long time. “Thank you dante” I said, staring down at my fingers that were interlaced “And i'm sorry for any form of inconvenience i might have caused”. I looked up to see him staring at me as i did not hear him say anything. “Do you want me to bring you lunch in bed too?” He asked “You don't have to stress yourself dante, i'm fine” i said “I think you keep forgetting the fact that you don't have a say in this matter.” He said standing up from beside me on the bed to leave. “I'm sorry i kept you here through out the day, i know there are other imp
Dante's POVI was livid when I saw Olivia curled up in a ball on the cold floor. I was going to inquire why she was not down for breakfast at first. But seeing Olivia on the floor groaning in pain, it stirred up something in me and I really don't know why but I found myself caring for her.When she eventually told me it was just period cramp I was scared shitless. She had endured this torturous pain all her life? No woman deserved this. I was clueless on what to do because I haven't cared for a woman this much before. After dropping her in the room, I quickly took my phone as I googled how I could make her cramps reduce and make her feel better. It was really unlike me but it's worth giving it a shot. The first thing that popped up was heating pads and warm baths before the use of painkillers and warm liquid. So I quickly ran a warm bath for her before bringing her back to the bathroom and bringing her breakfast in bed. While she slept, I couldn't help but wonder why I dragged her
olivia's PovI had woken up to sharp pains in my lower abdomen. At first, I thought I could overlook it, maybe it was just a mild pain. But right now, it only intensified. I left my bed to go check out if it wasn't what i was thinking it was. Fuck me! My period was always so severe because for the most part of it, I lost more blood which worsens my iron deficiency anemia and I tend to throw up alot because of the pain. At some point i'd thought it was endometriosis but it turns out mine was just different. I struggled hard to have my bath as i was in so much pain that had me squatting in the bathroom. I finally mustered all the strength I had to get dressed in a large sweatshirt and pants. I tried going back to bed but I just could not. Instead, I laid on the cold floor curled up in a ball as I changed position every five minutes trying to get a comfortable position. I could always go downstairs to get pain killers, my brain told me but I was in too much pain to do so. Gradually
Dante’s PovYesterday's event caught me off guard, i lost some men due to my actions. I've always blamed myself every single time I lost one of my men because I felt there was something different I could have done to avoid the whole fiasco that unfolded. But like Olivia said yesterday, certain things are just beyond me and I can't live my life continually blaming myself for every single thing. Right now i was going to do anything to get the information i needed from the man we captured last night. Taking long strides to the basement in the warehouse, I started unfastening my cuffs because I was about to get my hands dirty. “Where is he!" I asked Luca who trailed behind me. I had designated Rafael to assist Olivia back at the house. “Over here dante” He said unlocking the door to one of the rooms. I entered the cold basement that had a single overhead bulb. In the center of the room, bound to a metal chair, sat the captive luca was able to capture. His body was coated in sweat and
olivia's PovDante had bolted out the door after saying all that he said. He acted normal as he received the phone call where as, i was affected by the words he said and stunned as hell. It was already one in the morning but dante wasn't back from whereever he had gone to. I alreadt had dinner and i'd freshend up for the night but he wasn't still back to i resorted to reading a book to pass out time. As i sat beside the window reading a book as bright headlights suddenly filled the dark night as i saw dante's car and two other cars follow behind. Looking down i saw how someone was being assited inside and one other limping. I quickly changed from my night wear into something i could wear around men and not cause a scene. I changed into a jean three-quarter that was an inch above my knee and a black tank top. Running to open the door i was hit with the metallic smell of blood as my gaze fell on dante who had a piece of cloth tied to his shoulder were he had blood stains all over. I
Dante's POVI came back earlier than expected. I had called rafael early on to supervise the shipments coming through the west border because my men already killed one invader and i believe there's more of them out there. Recently the attacks on our shipment was getting out of hand and i think is high time i took drastic steps to eliminate them all. Entering the mansion, i began to make my way upstairs till i heard olivia's voice from the kitchen asking arabella where she kept the soy sauce. She must have been to bored for her to resort to helping arabella in the kitchen. I quietly walked to the kitchen only to see olivia making attempts to get something from the top cupboard probably the soy sauce. But that was not what caught my attention, she was wearing an oversized shirt that was not mine and it barely covered her thighs. Was she seriously testing me after telling her not to wear these type of short clothes around the house because of the men around. But i could not deny the
olivia's PovYesterday marked the first day i decided to let my guard down and try elicit an emotional reaction from Dante. If i'm going to stay in this marriage for a year i might as well make it fun. However, yesterday took a different turn, dante went all wild seeing me in shorts and the way he spoke, He sounded pretty pissed and might i add jealous. And it all just gave me more ideas to not just be overly nice to him but to maybe tease him a bit so for day two of MISSION ELICIT AN EMOTIONAL REACTION FROM DANTE, i settled for a white huge shirt i found in the closet and a pair of shorts, I might really get in trouble for this but i do not care. I and Ava still spoke last night and i feel i'd crack open very soon. I could not keep up with the lies. “Olivia are you ready?” I heard rafael call from downstairs as i made my way down to my new office space. I had begged rafael to come help me set up the office. “In a minute!” i yelled, Surprisingly i warmed up to rafael quickly, we ha
Dante's PovMeeting Alberto physically to stake claim on my right was something I had to do today and fast so he won't change whatever he and my dad did before the one year course of my marriage finishes. I needed this alliance to not only strengthen my mafia but to protect my men to the best that I can. There has been a mafia gang with a faceless Don that has been interfering with my shipments. Like yesterday I had an urgent call telling me someone had stolen the shipment of weapons i was expecting yesterday. I had to leave the house and urgently see to it, tracking down the invader. We were able to detect he was from the Viper's, the mafia that had a faceless Don. It is crazy how nobody has seen this person before and he settles to wrecking havoc anonymously. I was not able to take Olivia to the part of the house she would be using as her office and infirmary because of the emergency last night. Pulling through into Alberto's house, I stepped out of my car as I made a beeline for
olivia's PovDante had taken me out earlier to get the wedding bands since i had already agreed to the wedding arrangement. Surprisingly he took me out to lunch afterwards, coming back home we didn't talk much to each other. I was sitted in his study waiting for whatever he has to say. “I have three important rules principessa” He started“Rules that i expect you to follow discreetly” He said with so much seriousness“Rule one, You should not wander around either of this places, the basement and my room.” Yeah we were only married to the world but privately we settled for our individual lives“Rule Two, on no account should you leave the mansion and even if you have to leave urgently which i don't see the need for but you would call me first and take one of the bodyguards” He said sternly“Rule three, I definitely can't be in love so it's not a problem for me, you must not have a secret relationship during our stipulated agreement period. Understood!” There he goes again, he had mad
OLIVIA. I'd lived my life thinking about the odds of me being caught up with my dad's drunken behaviour and how it would affect my life. Amongst all the consequences i listed out i thought it'd gravely affect me chasing my dreams of becoming a medical doctor which to my surprise it didn’t and i'm glad cause i would never forgive myself for not fighting hard and not fulfilling my dreams, I'm an over achiever what can i say. But, i'd never thought it'd lead to him be indebited to only God knows who. I had just finished a surgical procedure when he called telling me i had to come home that he was ill and how his kidney had been deteriorating from all the alcohol he has comsumed during his life time and also about his supposed debt. Did he think i was some billionaire or something, my salary was barely enough to cover my monthly expenses and also the student loan i’d taken from medical school and this was all thanks to him, If he had become responsible for once and assumed his po...
