Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 34. Go to Dante's Office
Natalie slept without dreaming. When she woke up, it was already light. She got up and leaned against the headboard while trying to remember what happened last night.To be honest, she wasn’t someone who got panic attacks often. Maybe back when she was modeling, she had experienced it a few times because of the pressure of work. However, that was so long ago that she had even forgotten.What happened last night certainly surprised her. She didn’t have a panic attack when Dante touched her forcibly. She also didn’t get a panic attack when she was completely hurt and destroyed. Then what had triggered it?Natalie roughly rubbed her face. Then she took a sip of the water on the nightstand. Someone suddenly knocked on her bedroom door. She quickly opened it and saw Cora standing with a tray of breakfast. “Miss, how are you feeling now?” Cora asked.“I’m fine,” Natalie replied. “Actually, you don’t need to bring breakfast to my room. I can come down to the dining table.”“Sorry, I thought
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 35. The King of Drama
“Stay here. I’m going to meet an investor,” Dante said after taking Natalie into his private office. He tried to forget what had just happened. “Do you just trust me?” Natalie glanced around with a flat expression. “I can steal your data here.” “Do it if you want.” Dante looked at her expressionlessly. He wasn’t worried because his greatest wealth was from his illicit business. After that, he walked out of the room. Natalie closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She also tried to forget Dante’s strange behavior. Instead of speculating and guessing randomly, it was better to ignore it. Dante’s private office was a special office for the CEO. It wasn’t Natalie’s first time entering a CEO’s office, but still, the atmosphere inside the room impressed her. The room was spacious, with a wide glass wall that looked out over the business district of Manhattan. One could see the bustling streets and modern-looking high-rises from there. The ceiling was high. The marble and all the furnit
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 36. Dante Is Really Sick
‘Dante is really sick.’That was all Natalie could think about. She closed her eyes in the car and tried to calm down. She had always thought Dante was a cruel and cold-hearted man, but it turned out to be more than that.A sane man wouldn’t do those things. A sane man wouldn’t claim a woman as his own when they didn’t even love her. Nor would a sane man detain and imprison a woman like a criminal.Natalie thought she herself was crazy enough with the destruction of her life. It turned out that there were people who were crazier than her.Just then, Dante’s right hand suddenly touched Natalie’s thigh, instantly breaking into her reverie. She turned her head and said coldly, “Take your hand away!”“Are you still mad at me, Cavey?” Dante asked, but Natalie didn’t want to answer. She just swatted away Dante’s hand.“I won’t bring up your past again,” the man said. He stared at Natalie as he drove.“You think I’m mad just because of that?”Dante shrugged his shoulders. “Is there another r
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 37. Mysterious Flower Bouquet
Hesitantly, Natalie picked up the incoming call. Dante’s voice immediately rang in her ears. “Get ready. I’ll pick you up soon,” the man said.Natalie’s expression immediately turned flat. So Dante said she didn’t need to add his contact because he had already done it himself?“You’re so great, Dante!” Natalie sarcastically said. She’d never thought that Dante could be so narcissistic. The guy even named his own contacts ‘fiancé’.“I am,” he said.Natalie snorted. She asked, “What are you picking me up for?”“Dinner.” Dante’s answer irritated Natalie.“You shouldn’t say things on the spur of the moment, Mr. Vittorio! Women can’t get dressed up in 10 minutes, let alone to go to a formal event. You’d better go alone!”Dante, who was sitting at his desk, smiled. “Not a formal event.”“What do you mean?”“I’m in a good mood, so, well, what’s wrong with me asking you to dinner?”Natalie was a little surprised. However, she knew Dante’s moods were volatile and unpredictable. She’d rather ha
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 38. Dante, This Hurts
Dante’s arrival was completely unexpected. Natalie hurriedly put the paper back into the bouquet. She turned around and saw Dante staring at her with one eyebrow raised.“Why are you here?” The question went unanswered. Dante noticed the bouquet in Natalie’s hand.“Flowers?”“I think someone sent them to the wrong address,” Natalie said, trying to remain calm. She pretended to be confused and handed the bouquet to Dante.“Wrong address?” The man squinted. Slowly, he took the bouquet and reached between the flowers. “Are you sure?” he asked casually.Natalie’s heart skipped a beat. She gulped as she tucked her hair behind her ear. “Do you find anything?”Dante pulled out the letter Natalie had just hidden. He smirked and opened the letter while looking at the nervous woman. “Do you mind if I read it?”“No.” Natalie shook her head and smiled. “These flowers are definitely not for me, anyway.”Dante finally read the letter. Natalie could only pray silently, hoping that what was written o
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 39. Handcuffed
“Dante, you’re crazy! Let me go now!” Natalie screamed as Dante cuffed each of her hands to the right and left sides of the bed. Trying to rebel was futile. All she got was pain in her wrists.Her anger was mixed with worry. She knew Dante was insane and had crazy sex fantasies, but she never thought she would be his crazy partner. That was scary.“Sssshhhh....” Dante pressed his index finger against Natalie’s lips. “This won’t hurt.”“I don’t fucking care!” Natalie continued to scream. Her eyes glared. “Why do you want to do this to me? Why?!”Dante caressed Natalie’s beautiful face. She instantly turned her face away, avoiding him. He looked down. “I don’t know. I’m just... angry.”“Angry?” Natalie was completely speechless. She closed her eyes and let out a rough breath. Maybe she should ease Dante’s anger.Slowly, the look in Natalie’s eyes softened. She asked in a smoother voice, “Why are you angry? I’m not lying to you, Dante. I never thought anyone would send roses here. I didn
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 40. On The Bed
Natalie felt her hands go numb. Dante hadn’t removed the handcuffs, even though it was already midnight. In such a locked position, even if she were sleepy, she wouldn’t be comfortable sleeping. Her stomach suddenly rumbled. Damn it! She was starving. Natalie exhaled harshly. When was Dante going to let her go? As if the timing was right, the closed door suddenly opened. Dante’s figure walked in carrying a tray of food. The tantalizing aroma of grilled meat wafted through the air. “I brought you dinner,” Dante said as he sat on the edge of the bed. He smiled, enjoying Natalie’s annoyed expression. “Take the cuffs off!” Natalie exclaimed. Dante shook his head. “As a good fiancé, I’ll feed you,” he said casually. He set the tray on the bed and picked up a fork and knife. Natalie felt like swearing. How on earth was she going to eat lying down like that? Dante was such a nutcase! The man cut the steak with a calm expression. The cut wasn’t big and was ideal. Then he thrust it into
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 41. Stay with Me Tonight
Dante sat on the sofa, watching Natalie tend to his wound. The woman was crouched on the floor with a serious face. She was holding tweezers and trying to pull out a small shard of ceramic plate that was deeply embedded in the sole of his foot.“Tell me if it hurts,” Natalie said, without looking at Dante. She winced at the wound on his foot.“Are you afraid?” Dante asked, but Natalie didn’t answer because she was too focused on her activities.Dante secretly let out a long sigh. In all those years, no woman had ever handled his wounds. In fact, he had never let a woman see him injured. Why? Because he didn’t want them to take advantage of his weakness to attack him.He remembered his mother doing that in the past. When Dante’s father was in a weakened condition, his mother gave him a deadly attack. It wasn’t that they weren’t in love anymore or that his father had betrayed their love, but from the beginning, she had been an enemy who wanted to destroy the Vittorio family.Dante and h

Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 94. Finding Leon
The next day, Dante drove Natalie and her grandmother home. Alex came with him, too.When they arrived, there were already several bodyguards standing guard at Minerva’s house. Natalie was surprised and asked Dante as soon as they got out of the car. “You arranged this?”“Your grandmother asked for it,” Dante replied casually.Minerva, who heard that, immediately coughed. How could that man take advantage of an old woman like her?“Grandma?” Natalie looked at Minerva in surprise. She never thought her grandmother would ask something like that of Dante.“You don’t mind, do you?” asked Minerva, supporting Dante’s lie. After all, the man was pretending not to know about the attack that night.Natalie shook her head slowly. The placement of bodyguards was a good thing. It wouldn’t be easy for Leon or George’s gang to get to her if there were bodyguards. It was better that she didn’t make a big deal out of it.“Thank you,” she said to Dante. She was just worried that he already knew someth
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 93. In the Hospital
When Dante arrived at the hospital, it was midnight and past visiting hours. However, he could sneak in with Alex’s help.In front of a closed door, he stood uncertainly. Moments later, he knocked softly on the door. It didn’t take long for Minerva to open the door.“Dante?” The old lady looked surprised, not expecting to see Dante there. Hadn’t Natalie hidden their whereabouts at the hospital?Dante pressed an index finger to his lips, asking Minerva to keep quiet. He glanced into the room and saw Natalie already sleeping. “Sorry, my arrival was too sudden and intrusive,” he whispered.Minerva immediately shook her head. “Not at all. Natalie must be happy to have you here. Please come in,” she said gently.Dante did not enter immediately. Instead, he walked to a waiting chair outside the room. Minerva sensed he had something to say, so she closed the door and followed him.“What is it? Do you have something to say?” Minerva asked.The man sighed. “Natalie hid everything from me. She
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 92. He Still Cares
Dante wasn’t very busy that day and didn’t want to overthink about Natalie, so he came to visit his grandfather’s winery in Napa Valley. It was only about an hour and a half away from where he was staying.Roberto’s winery and vineyard in Napa Valley was much bigger than the branch in New York. However, the old man was more comfortable living in New York, where he could oversee his family’s illegal business.The manager and person in charge of the winery was Javer, one of Dante’s uncles, with whom he had almost no dealings. Javer only focused on taking care of the winery and never wanted to deal with the Vittorio family’s illegal business. So Dante also rarely interacted with him.When Dante came to visit, Javer was naturally surprised. The tall man met him immediately. “Dante, what’s so magical about you coming here?” His tone was sarcastic.“Uncle, I see your vineyard is getting busy,” Dante said as he watched the planters tending to the vines.Javer snorted. “Does the sunrise from
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 91. Feeling Disappointed
At night, Dante sat on a bar stool, massaging his forehead. His eyes were closed. The whiskey glass before him was empty, but his mood still hadn’t improved.Alex walked over and patted him on the back. “What are you going to do after this?”“I don’t know,” Dante muttered. He looked lethargic and lackluster. His cell phone rang for the umpteenth time, but he ignored it.“Do you hate her?” Alex asked, after seeing how Dante repeatedly ignored Natalie’s phone calls. It made him wonder how he felt about her.“I don’t know.”Dante asked the bartender for another whiskey. He seemed reluctant and lazy to talk about Natalie. However, the more unwilling he was to talk about her, the more obvious his fear of facing his emotions and feelings became.Alex, who had worked with Dante for years, could certainly recognize his abnormality. Although the man didn’t say or express it, Alex knew Dante must be disappointed with Natalie.“You wouldn’t just leave her, would you?” Alex sat down next to Dante
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 90. The Wrong Truth
Natalie had received many stitches on her arm. The palm of her left hand was also stitched up. She was hospitalized and didn’t regain consciousness until the morning.When she opened her eyes, the first person she saw was her grandmother. The old lady was sitting on the sofa beside the hospital bed with her eyes closed. Her face and skin looked tired.Unconsciously, Natalie’s tears fell. She cried and sobbed not because of the pain in her body, but because she remembered the horrific incident of last night. She still felt scared and shocked.Minerva, who couldn’t sleep well, heard Natalie’s sobs. Both of her eyes opened. “Oh, my dear...”She got up and approached her granddaughter. Her hand gently rubbed Natalie’s head. “Are you feeling sick? I’ll call the doctor,” she said.Natalie shook her head. She wanted to grasp her grandmother’s hand, but she couldn’t move her hand. It was excruciating. Her left palm was also bandaged, and she couldn’t hold on to anything.“Don’t move too much.
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 89. Night Scream
Again, it was about Dante. Natalie took a deep breath and tried to calm down. “Why do you think I know about that? He’s an acute paranoid. Do you think he’d tell me every time he traveled?”The man shoved the muzzle of his gun harder into the back of Natalie’s head. “If he were wary of you, he wouldn’t treat you like a lover,” he said coldly.Natalie clenched her hands into fists. “You must not know him. He’s good at acting.”“Where did he go?!” the man snapped slightly while pushing the gun hard out of impatience. Natalie’s head hurt from the weapon. She stifled her groan.“I don’t know,” Natalie hissed. She secretly held the scissors under her pants. If the situation was urgent, she might use it to stab the man.“You don’t seem to be taking my threats seriously.” Suddenly, the man kicked Natalie’s leg so hard that she fell to her knees. Both knees hit the floor, and it hurt a lot.Natalie’s eyes watered slightly. She gritted her teeth against the pain and anger. “Are you George and
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 88. Who Are You?!
That night, Natalie spent time with her grandmother in bed. She lay down and hugged the old woman warmly. “Grandma, what’s been going on for the past two years?”Minerva gently stroked Natalie’s head. “Nothing special. I went to London a few times when I was bored.”Before Natalie was imprisoned, she often took her grandmother out to shopping, to social gatherings, or simply to travel abroad on vacation. However, since her arrest and imprisonment, Minerva rarely went out.“Darling, can you tell me what really happened back then? I know you couldn’t have committed a crime, so who framed you so cruelly?”Natalie closed her eyes. “It wasn’t Brent,” she whispered.“Are you sure it wasn’t your ex?” Minerva asked to make sure.Natalie nodded. She had been imprisoned for premeditated murder. She was accused of hiring a hitman to kill Beverley by running her over with a car. However, Chris, Brent’s twin brother, saved Beverley, which made him hit by the car and killed.Brent Oliver investigat
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 87. Strange Man
An old lady wearing a cardigan and a long skirt came out of the house. Her graying hair was neatly put in a bun. She looked so elegant despite her age.The old lady walked to the fence of the house. Even her steps looked calm and graceful. Natalie, who saw the lady, immediately smiled with emotion. “My grandma hasn’t changed,” she murmured.“So gorgeous,” Dante praised. He was amazed by how graceful and gentle Natalie’s grandmother was, like a noble lady.“Grandma!” Natalie called out to her grandmother. The old lady, who initially felt a little confused, immediately smiled.Minerva Wentworth immediately asked her housemaid to open the gate. “Please, open the gate!”The housemaid opened the gate. Natalie immediately ran inside and hugged her grandmother. Her long-held longing turned into tears.“Grandma...”“Oh, my dear, you’re finally home,” Minerva whispered as she rubbed Natalie’s back. Then, gently and lovingly, she kissed her granddaughter’s head.“Grandma, I’ve missed you,” Nata
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 86. Grandmother's House
Natalie slept in Dante’s arms. The fever made her dream of something unwanted.In her dream, she saw a group of assassins chase Dante and injure him badly. However, the dream suddenly changed, showing a scene where the man slashed her body with a knife and whipped the incision until it tore.“Why did you betray me, Cavendish?!” shouted Dante angrily. He whipped and tortured her body until it bled.She screamed and cried, but Dante cried, too. He tortured her while shedding tears. His eyes were filled with pain and disappointment.“I’m sorry...” she whispered.On the bed of the private jet, Dante frowned. He looked down at Natalie’s tear-streaked face. Her expression looked so painful. It confused him.“Cavey?” He tried to wake her up. However, Natalie seemed to be lost in her dream. She kept mumbling apologies while crying.“Cavey, wake up!” Dante shook Natalie’s body until she gasped. Her eyes opened, and she immediately got up to sit. Her face was pale, and her breathing rose and fe
