EIGHTDANTE“You did a great Job, Luca” I told him after the not so dramatic exit of Diana“I shall ask again if I need to be aware of the reason you want to be the foreigner’s knight in shiny armor”“I do not want to be her anything but unfortunately, she is important to me and I want you to keep an eye out for me on her movements. Can you do that?”Luca nodded, he wasn’t one to always ask questions but I guess this was a situation that called for questions.I exited the restaurant and headed up to my cousin’s home. He was one of the few people still extremely loyal to my dead brother, Alexander and he wanted the Rodrigues’ to pay as much as I wanted them. I wasn’t blind to the fact that Alejandro did not consider me a leader yet and the chance to prove myself was making sure I brought down the Rodrigues family.I did not care for his approval but I wanted his loyalty; if I was to take over the dealings of my family, I needed loyal men by my side and this was the way to prove my loya
NINEDIANAIt is barely 24 hours since my arrival in Italy and I have met someone. I do not know what he means to me but I really have to say that I find him extremely attractive and I feel like he knows me and the turmoil that I am passing through. I know that this is not the time to be finding someone and it is the time to find myself but who says I cannot do both?I am here in bed excited about my prospects in this new city and for once I feel free, like I am looking forward to something that should be challenging.I am not sure of what I want to do in this city and I don’t think I would ever be but we just have to wait and see, don’t we?I also visited a restaurant and met one of the most arrogant man I had ever laid my eyes upon. You would think that as stunning as he was, he would have a good character to go with it but that I tell you that that is not true but I will have to admit that he has beautiful restaurant space and it is somewhere I would like to spend my days, serving
TENDIANAI admit that being a waitress wasn’t all I thought it would be and not even my excitement could stop the tiredness from sipping through my bones as I hopped from table to table, taking orders. It was wonderful that I did not have to struggle with some of the Italian dishes that were ordered and although I hardly understood what they were about, I had a very retentive memory and it served me really well.It was time for my lunch break as Luca called it and I was allowed to watch other waitresses do the job. I was pretty sure I did great judging from the look of Luca’s face“You can admit it, you know” I said to him as I sat beside him with bacon in my hand.“Admit what?” He asked meHis eyes were twinkling which meant he knew exactly what I was talking about“That I make a great waitress” I said, smiling at him“The deal was for you to survive for a week and not before. If you are still here after one week then I will admit that you make a great waitress” he repliedI laughed
ELEVENDANTEI watched her smile at the man trying so hard to get his fingers up her skirt as she placed the drink in front of him. She was trying too hard to be what she wasn’t and it was pissing me the fuck off that I had to sit here and watch her get pawed.I had to have a talk with Luca over his reason for allowing her work in his restaurant. This was hardly the place for me to exact my revenge on her and her family for my brother and I was running out of time.The council was aware of her arrival to Italy and although they had decided to let me handle the girl, they were watching and would soon get involved if I did not do something immediately.As much as I was very much their leader, I still had to prove that I wasn’t just the bastard that my father had sent away with the white woman he had mistakenly gotten pregnant. I had to prove I had the Russo blood running through my veins by adequately executing the revenge plan but at the same time I wanted to savor the feeling.I wante
TWELVEDIANAHe had his fingers in my hair touching ever so lightly that for a moment, I forgot that I wasn’t supposed to be here with himSomething incredibly dangerous flicked through me as he said those words. Dante was absolutely dangerous and bad for my health but I wanted him with such raw intensity and what was a little bit of fun if he wanted to have it.I remained where I was, staring at me with the desire evident in my eyes. I was an adult and quite free to do whatever I wanted with whomever I wanted including a hulk with a ponytail like Dante and I actually was dying to run my fingers through that hair.He murmured and then crashed his lips unto mine with my eyes closing of their own volition. I moaned and threw my hands around his neck, touching the nape where his hair began; it was as soft as I had imagined.He tasted like wine mixed with something really spicy that reminded me that I was in the bathroom making out with a man I hardly knew.It was fun and it wouldn’t hurt
THIRTEENDANTEThis wasn’t how it was supposed to be and the fact that I could not get the damned taste of her lips out of my mouth. The way her breasts had felt full and heavy in my hand and how much I had enjoyed…No, this is not how it works. I don’t think about her this way, it is purely business and revenge… nothing more.Diana Rodrigues was the loophole and weakness of the family I was about to sentence and that was all. She was an easy way in to exact my revenge for the death of my brother but I knew that if the situation had been reversed and we weren’t in this mess, maybe she would have been my type of girl.It had been two days since what had happened in the restroom and it was time again for me to make my move. I could not have her thinking I has just used her… far from that. I wanted her to fall in love with me and then I wanted to break her completely, in front of her family and everyone she cared about.That would be the perfect revenge and when I am done; I am going to
FOURTEENDIANAI had considered not ever setting foot in Luca’s restaurant anymore and maybe not ever seeing Dante again. After what had happened and my more than disgraceful walk out of the restaurant that day, I had thought maybe I would bump into him again. I had even gone as far as asking the receptionist if a certain Dante had a reservation at the hotel to which she replied in the negative.So I had simply just made out with an attractive man whom I just met and hardly knew anything about. It was unlike me to even do anything like this but there was something irritatingly attractive and absolutely compelling about him that would make me do anything that he asked for.The next day, I had gone to the restaurant much to the surprise of Luca who bless him had asked me if I was alright. I was sure he maybe had seen the footage from the dashcam of Dante kissing me and me being the wanton trollop that I was but he said nothing about it. The day had gone on really uneventful without the
FIFTEENDIANAI must have been out of my mind to think that Dante was going to continue avoiding me or he was going to let me stay in Italy in peace.He came the next day to the restaurant, watching me like a predator would a prey and requesting for a drink that conveniently had sex in it. I wasn’t going to allow him seduce me with that beautiful blue eyes and rakish smile but even as I said that, I could feel my heart pounding furiously in my chest as I poured him the drink.A gasp escaped my dry throat when his rough hands brushed against mine and I could very well remember where those hands had been two days ago.He was doing this on purpose but to what gain? It was obvious that I found him attractive and most men I knew would be taking absolute advantage of that at the moment but not him. It was like he was waiting for me to do something stupid or make a fool of myself with my longing for him.“A penny for your thoughts?” He muttered, watching me“If you would like to know; I am h
