But when he is coerced to marry Emily, the beautiful and intelligent daughter of a rival family to secure a fragile truce, he begins to questions the existence of that single rule which has given him the reputation he has of being nothing less than ruthless and brutal. Emily is used by her father as a bargaining chip to cool down the hatred their families have groomed for many years that threatens to destroy them. Emily, determined to survive in a world of drugs, lies, and murders, she must learn to adapt quickly as the wife of one of the most dangerous men in Chicago as the risks that come with such position are severe. As she draws closer to Dante, she slowly begins to realize that the monster she married may not be as evil as the mafia world paints him to be. Will their love be the cure to a years old family disease of hate and strife, or will it spark a war that destroys everything?"

I can’t keep him away but at the same time he might say some hurtful things and if you aren’t ready to hear them then I can tell him to go.” “He is your father in law right and I want to speak to him. He came at the right time.”He guided me to where he was while Nika left to do her own thing.The place he was was far away from the house. I preferred this house. It won’t be easy to know whose room is whose unless they are told by an insider.“Emily.”my dad said once he saw me.I bandaged the place I injured myself in the shower and his eyes went there and he looked angry.“Don’t tell me that he hits you.” He asked me and looked at Dante.Dante was taken aback by what he said. “Did you hit my daughter?” He said and held Dante’s shirt.“You are in my house Mr Carlos and I won’t accept this kind of behaviour from you.” He told me dad and dad removed his hand
All I could hear was gunshots as Dante carried me out of the building. He wrapped me with his shirt and we were inside the car the next minute. My body felt dirty and numb.I felt dirty from the way those men touched me. “Emily are you okay now? You are safe. Let's get you home.” Dante cradled me on his body and I noticed an unfamiliar face driving while we sat at the back.“Is she okay?” he asked.“I don't think so. She is just looking around and not saying anything. Do I need to go to the hospital right away?”“I just want to go to my room and be alone please.” I murmured and he looked at me.“If that's what you want.” the rest of the drive was smooth and police vans kept passing us and going to the diretion of where we came from.“All of them will be arrested. You don't need to worry.”“Even Caleb? He is the mastermind.”“One thing I can praise him for is knowing how to escape and hide so I don't think so for now. I will make sure to catch him myself. Don't worry Emily.”If he wasn
She was tied up with nothing on and a gun to her head in the picture. That got me working immediately. I went to my office and got my laptop on.I placed a tracker in her bag. Hopefully she was with the bag. I could only hope so and track her location.I had a feeling this week that we were going to get attacked but I just wanted a day with Emily first of all. I was too relaxed and they took the opportunity.I couldn't find the location after many tries and I hit my hand on the table angrily. I can't wait for the police to started looking for her.“Dante?” mum said outside the door and she came in with a glass of juice.“You haven't eaten all day and you still aren't sleeping.”“I can't sleep mum. Emily is missing. How do you expect me to sleep?”“Wearing youself out won't make you find her. You need to rest so you can be healthy to continue in the morning. It's 1:00am now.” she placed the juice on the table.“I am worried about her too. Poor girl. She has no idea where she is right n
I tried calling Emily afterward even though she left a message. I just felt like I had to. The operation was successful and mum wasn't picking the call for me to inform her about that.Emily still didn't pick the call so I tried my mum’s number again. She picked on the third ring. “What's the matter Dante? I was in the bathroom. I can't sleep.” she said. Her voice was filled with tiredness.“Dad came out well. The surgery was successful. Don't worry anymore and just sleep. You all will come see him tomorrow.” I informed her and she screamed in joy.“Thank goodness. I have been so sad about it. I knew he was going to make it.” she sighed deeply.“Are you sure? You were crying so loudly when you came. It was as though he was already pronounced dead.” I laughed.“You know how dramatic and emotional I can be. Don't blame me though. I love my man so much. You will feel the same about Emily soon enough.”I just knew she was going to add that last statement.“Mum.” i groaned.“I am just sayi
He looked so serious all of a sudden and I had to look at our surroundings for any danger. I went close to him and touched his arm to bring him out of his thoughts. “What's the matter?” I asked him and he looked at me with worry in his eyes.“We have to go immediately.” he was rushing so I had to keep up with him. “How about the things there?” I asked since we were leaving the place.“People will come and clear it up. Let’s go.” he opened my door for me then rushed into the driver’s seat.He was tapping his legs nervously while driving so I didn't want to ask what it was. My instincts trusted him to not take me to where danger was.I was surprised when we pulled up to a hospital parking lot. “What's happening here?” I asked him again but this time my eyes was filled with worry.“My dad was shot. They said it hit a vital organ.” he said curtly and we got down from the car.He held my hand and we rushed into the hospital lobby and got to the counter. “De Luca.” his voice was so powerf
All I saw was darkness. I have never felt this scared before. My memories that came back made me so unsure that Dante would come for me.I felt very cold and I used my hand to cover my breast. They removed my clothes and I was alone in this unfamiliar room and tied to the bed. I was able to remove the blindfold successfully.“Boss said to not touch her. She is for him.” I heard them arguing outside the door and I felt like throwing up.Who was the boss and how did I belong to him? Is this also related to why Dante’s father got shot? My head was spinning and I tried to not make any noise.The door opened suddenly and I tried to cover my body with the bedsheets on the bed but it wasn't working. “She looks so beautiful. Can't we take rounds first before boss comes here ?” one out of the five guys spoke and played with his belt.Tears were threatening to slip from my eyes but I had to play strong. “What do you want from me? You won't get it so don't waste your time and just let me go.” I
I left the room to dress up. I don't know what he plans to do today with me but I was excited to see how it goes.While I was in the closet looking for what to wear, my room door was knocked. “Emily, this is Dante’s mum. Luciana. Please may I come in?” she asked and I thought of that name.“Ohhh.” She was the one who too the unaware picture of Dante and I. “Come in.” I shouted from the closet and I heard her footsteps coming to me.“How are you feeling?” she asked me and she was with a tray of food. “You need to take your medicine so I brought you some food to eat.” she informed me and I smiled.She dropped it on the table. “Thank you. I slept very well last night so I feel much better.”“Do you remember now?” she asked.“It's coming but I won't force it. Sometimes I just remember when Dante and I got married.” I told her honestly and she nodded with a smile.“Dante isnt the best husband but he is trying his best so please give him a chance and you both should enjoy your day.” she he
He carried me to my room afterward. I looked around and couldn't even remember moving into this place. I hope I remember everything soon because I just saw more unfamiliar faces in the living room. “Do you want to sleep in my room instead? You look confused.” Dante stood by the door and watched me.“I'm okay. It's just that…” I stopped myself.“You can say whatever Emily. I won't hurt you.” he spoke softly. He has been speaking to me that way but my eyes always went to the multiple tattoos on his body. He looked rough but sounded soft with me.“If we are truly husband and wives then why do I have a separate room? You aren't lying right?” I moved back a bit and my head started making some noise.A hand was on my waist the next moment and laid my on the bed. He removed my socks and placed the blanket on my body.“You are still weak and your head is hurting. I will explain everything to you tomorrow. Don't worry about me coming to the room this night. I won't.” he said to me and left.I
I walked into the entrance of the school. I already got information about the girl who pushed Emily from my assistant. Matilda was her name. I got every information about her. From her family to her one night stands. Every single thing.I barged into a lecture hall and everyone looked at me. “May I help you Mr?” the lecturer asked me.“Is there a Matilda here?” I asked her and her eyes roamed the hall.“Matilda Ashton. You can hear your name. Leave with this young man immediately. I wonder what else you have done.” she didn't even ask what the reason I called her for was.Matilda stood up and licked her lips once she made eye contact with me. “It's my pleasure Miss Baker.” she said and everyone in the hall laughed.“Come on. We don't have much time.” Matilda said to me and passed by me.We walked till we reached an empty class. The other two girls who I was told was also involved where already being been with in the empty class.She didn't pay attention to her surrounding and got on h
Marrying Dante became the worse regret of my life. It was a horrible experience in the sense that not only was I married to a man that i was not in love with. I was also married to a man that was unbothered about me. Dante never cared about me, he never tried to get along with him. All he cared about was business.Dante usually left the house from morning and returned late at night. A few times, I held out hope that Dante and I would get along well, maybe we would get to know each other too but it was quite the opposite. Dante cared less.I was left all alone in this mansion during the day and my father had broken his promise, I was not allowed to go to college at all. I remained in the house, not even Alejandra nor my father had visited me for once. I felt like a captive, was that not what I was?I tried to reach my boyfriend, or should I say my ex boyfriend?. Anyways, I had tried to reach Dave a few times but he never picked my call for once. My guess was that he had seen the news a...
