THE DON'S DESIRE CHAPTER 104
Rodrigo's POV The men shuffled about uncomfortably after seeing what I did to their leader. On his part, he didn't seem to have expected the assault at all; the cold sweat coming from his head was proof enough of that. "Go," he said, "bring the girl and threaten her in return." "Which girl?" I asked, putting the gun closer to his head. "I don't know," he said and nodded to the men to do what he said. "If you make any move at all, I'm going to kill him," I said before looking at Enzo once more. "You don't value your life now, do you? How stupid would it be if you threatened me and lost your life in the process? You know I will be able to kill you before they even bring the lady." "Stop," he said immediately before looking at me. "I don't know what you are talking about." "You are a fool," I responded. "You expect me to believe that after what you said just a moment ago? Is it not obvious that you have the girl I'm looking for? That is the only thing you can use to threa
THE DON'S DESIRE CHAPTER 105
Rodrigo's POV I didn't need anybody to tell me that I was being unreasonable. The look in Enzo's eyes as he glared at me in anger was enough. I knew that it was probably true, but I didn't care. I was a bit too angry at that moment. The best thing I could do about it was to kill a couple of people who would be picked according to how they acted in dealing with me. "You could have done it without killing the man," he said. "I could," I responded slowly, wondering where he was going. "Why did you agree for him to call her over when you wanted to kill him for it?" "Are you questioning me?" I inquired in a deep voice, putting the gun closer to his head and showing him how close he was to death. "You don't seem to understand the situation here. Would you like for me to explain it to you?" "No, no," he said quickly. "So, which lady were you planning to bring here?" I asked. "A random lady so that you could try to prove that you were innocent, or the actual girl so that you c
THE DON'S DESIRE CHAPTER 106
Rodrigo’s Pov “I’ll talk, I'll talk,” Enzo yelled. Good. I knew he wouldn't keep quiet about it for long. Enzo didn't look like someone who enjoyed pain, it was one thing I'd picked about him immediately after we met. "Rodrigo, you think you know everything, don't you?" Enzo started, his voice dripping with sarcasm. I clenched my fists trying to keep my composure instead of killing him then and there. I had a bad feeling about where this conversation was headed. "What are you talking about, Raphael or Enzo or whatever?" I asked, my voice steady, but inside, I was a whirlwind of emotions. Enzo leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms over his chest. "You have no idea, do you?" he said, shaking his head. "The higher-ups hired Tanya to investigate you. They are already threatening her, torturing her even, to get information about you." My heart skipped a beat. They did what? Investigating me? It didn't make any sense. Tanya and I had been close, or so I thought. I felt
THE DON'S DESIRE CHAPTER 107
DANTE'S POV As I trudged down the narrow corridor of the old, crumbling building, the sounds of muffled cries and distant screams echoed through the air, each one a testament to the unspeakable horrors that occurred within these walls. The air was thick with the scent of fear and desperation, which I had become all too familiar with. I had been in this business for more years than I cared to remember, and the things I'd witnessed had long since hardened my heart. I didn't care about any of the people in these cells. I trained myself not to trust anyone else. They'd be used against me—even family. Yet, something about Tanya stirred a long-forgotten feeling deep within me. As I approached her cell, her voice reached my ears. She was screaming, her voice loud and filled with pain. She had been subjected to the most brutal of tortures, yet she refused to talk. I admired that about her; it wasn't easy for anyone not to break with these tortures, but she managed not to break. He
THE DON'S DESIRE CHAPTER 108
DANTE'S POV Jack entered my office a few days after I had been expecting him. The anticipation had been gnawing at me for days, and I was eager to hear what he had uncovered about Tanya. She had been on my mind since the last time we met, but I didn't want to do anything rash, so I avoided her cell for the past few days. When he finally walked into my office, I could see the weariness in his eyes. He handed me a thin folder, and I could tell right away that it wasn't bursting with the kind of information I wanted. My heart sank a little, but I tried to remain hopeful. "Well, what did you find?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady. He sighed and opened the folder, revealing a few sparse documents. "Tanya finished her studies at a small community college on the outskirts of town. She's twenty-two years old, and her mother is listed as Maria Lopez. Unfortunately, we couldn't find anything else about Maria, and there's no other information about her." I took the papers from
THE DON'S DESIRE CHAPTER 109: MEET GRANDFATHER
DANTE'S POV When the call came from the hospital, I was sitting in my study, the heavy scent of cigar smoke hanging in the air. The room was dimly lit, with only the soft glow from the desk lamp illuminating the stacks of paperwork and the glass of bourbon I had been nursing. The phone rang, its sharp tone cutting through the silence. I hesitated momentarily before picking it up, steeling myself for what I might hear. "Mr. Dante, we have some news regarding the girl," the voice on the other end said. My heart pounded in my chest, a sensation I hadn't felt in years. "Go on," I urged, my voice steady but my mind racing. "She's your granddaughter, Mr. Dante. The daughter of your late son." The news from the hospital had hit me like a fast train. She was my granddaughter. Tanya, the girl we had kept locked up in that dingy cell, was the daughter of my late son. I could hardly believe it. My mind raced, trying to piece together the fragments of my past and the cruel twist of f
THE DON'S DESIRE CHAPTER 110: BAG IF TRUTH
TANYA'S POV “Why don’t I start from the beginning?” Dante suggested. I stared at him, the man who called himself my grandfather, the man who had let me suffer for so long in this place. He had watched those people torture me, and now he wanted to fix everything. Impossible. I felt a lot of emotions at that moment: anger, betrayal, confusion. My parents had never told me about any other father, and I didn't even know Henry wasn't my birth father until he said it before he was killed. Yet, despite everything happening inside of me, I said nothing, allowing him to speak. I wanted to hear his part of the story. I wanted to know if he deserved forgiveness; he didn't deserve it, but I wanted to know what he had to say. “My son's name is Damien. He is your father, sorry was your father. Damien died a few years ago, and he never told me about you. I am sure he doesn't know you exist, mostly because your mother hid you, and we never thought of it. If I had known about you, I would hav
THE DON'S DESIRE CHAPTER 111: SAVE RODRIGO
TANYA'S POV Sitting quietly after Dante left, I turned around and willed myself to go back to sleep. Less than an hour later, Dante and some guards burst into my room, dragging me out. “What is going on?” I asked. Of course, they didn't answer me. “Tie her hands so she doesn't escape,” Dante ordered one of the bodyguards with a scar above his upper lip. Scarface moved closer to me, grabbing my hands and twisting them back painfully before tying them. “Are you going to tell me what is going on?” I asked again as I was being dragged forward. Dante didn't reply and kept looking around wildly as his bodyguards shielded us, guiding us outside. “I guess not.” Walking outside, I realised I hadn't been out in a while. I looked around to see where we were, but only thick bushes surrounded us; it was hard to see anything other than the bushes. How did I even get here? I could have sworn we were in the city before. One of the guards grabbed my arm painfully, hurrying me tow
