View MoreOlivia’s POVAs we entered, a few people walked up to Dante exchanging pleasantries before noticing me. We walked to our table were we sat alongside Dante’s second in command, Luca. He barely showed up at Dante’s house so I wasn’t really familiar with him. However, I knew Dante doesn’t like mixing work with family or his home.Luca’s wife introduced herself to me and we made little conversations through the night as she was the only person I knew except Dante and Luca off course. I would steal little glances at Dante every now and then as I spoke to Luca’s wife. Dante in this midnight-black suit did it for me but not just that but the power and aura he embodied. Sure Dante was always calculative with his steps, in the way he spoke and even his gaze and tonight the people around him moved quietly around him, nodding respectfully like he was going to kill them or something. Deep down I knew Dante was capable of it.Dante’s sitting position was very well relaxed but from his eyes you cou
Olivia’s POV My hairstylist had just finished with my hair when a woman walked in. She looked like she was hitting her sixties with grey hairs that looked so good. If it weren’t for the hair, I wouldn’t know she was probably that old because she had a youthful glow and her skin was without wrinkles.“Hi” I said unsure of her identity“You are even more beautiful in person” she said as she walked closer.“Thanks, I don’t mean to sound rude but who are you?” I asked her as she immediately looked shocked.“He didn’t tell you? I’m so sorry for his lack of manners”“I’m Faye, Dante’s mother” immediately she said the last part alarms went off in my head. How was I so blind to see the resemblance. They both had the same eye color. I immediately engulfed her in a hug which she happily reciprocated. “I’m sorry I’m a hugger. I’m Olivia by the way ” I told her “Come on dear, No need to apologize” she said giving full blown smile“Dante did not tell me you were coming else I would have prepar
Dante’s POV Yesterday night revealed a whole different Olivia. She made me watch a movie about shitty medical professionals, I barely understood what they were doing but then I had to watch it because of her.My attention was on her the whole night, she was slowly filling a space I feared was once locked. My thoughts recently has been filled with a certain medical doctor that was too good. She was slowly having that effect on me.I had to carry her up to her room because she slept off on the couch in the cinema room.I had to take care of something urgent at the warehouse before I came back to freshen up for the mafia ball happening this evening.I had left her a note concerning her preparation for the ball and I wanted her to get all the rest she can because tonight was going to be a lot.“Liam, Rafael any lead yet” we were still on the case of those who attacked our shipments and also threatened to take Olivia.“For now, No lead boss” Liam said again.“Whoever it is that’s coming
Olivia’s POV I and Ava had made atleast five rounds through different stores shopping for clothes, shoes and every goddam thing Dante put her up to.I constantly texted Dante on my location and activities even if I’m very much aware that he could easily just track my location and find me.“Ava! My feet hurts and I’m starving” I called out to her.“We’ve only been to five stores Olivia we have more stores on the list” she said walking ahead of me with two buff guards walking just a few feet behind me.“I’m starving Ava, come on let’s go on a break a little” I cajoled her.“Alright, do you know anywhere we could eat at?” “Yeah, come on!” I took Ava to the restaurant Dante had taken me to when I initially got here. We ate our meals before we continued the torturous shopping. After hours of walking, shopping, spa and hair care. I finally got home. Ava had left earlier with the promise to be back for a girls night and make up for the nights and time together we missed.Today really took
Olivia's PovI stirred in my sleep as I tried stretching but I couldn't due to a restraint, a strong muscular one at that. 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
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...
