Alora's POV

As Dante walked into his bathroom, I groaned, gritting my teeth.

Marco and Vittoria, you guys are so going to pay for this. Gosh, I can't believe they locked us in. Locking me in Dante's room? I wonder who among them thought that would be a good idea. We hate each other. This guy detests me and will not hesitate to kill me.

I'm pretty sure what he meant when he was threatening me earlier was that he would kill me in this room.

Dang it! I kicked against the bed, sending a jolt of pain to my toe. I bent to massage the toe. "Ouch! Sorry, my poor toe. I'm just so mad right now."

"I didn't know talking to body organs is one of the character traits of a nurse... or is it just you?" Dante muttered behind me. I froze in my spot, realizing that the way I was bending was exposing my ass to his gaze.

Just when I thought I would wake up before he noticed, he blurted, "Oh, don't wake up. I'm quite enjoying the view. It's so enticing. I guess this is why you wanted to be locked in, righ

    Alora's POVMy heart skipped a beat. "What? What do you mean by that?"Dante flipped through his book and then picked up his laptop, tapping away at it as if I wasn’t standing there, asking him something."Just eat, Alora. You like making a big deal out of everything. We need to sleep because it’s night. So eat and get some sleep."I breathed in relief. "Oh, thank God. I actually thought you meant what you said."He looked at me, his face cold. "Don’t worry, Alora. I don’t think I would ever go for someone like you. You're not very..."His eyes scanned over my figure before he turned away, as if he had just seen the most painful piece of art in a museum. His words sliced through my heart. Ouch. Why did I feel bad if he insulted me? I hated him, and he hated me. So why did I expect at least a compliment from him? Or just some approval of how I looked?I huffed, deciding to just do what he had said. My steps toward the bed were slow as I picked up the plate and filled it with food. I gu

    Dante's POVAlora’s eyes widened as her breath came out in gasps. Her face looked panicked, as if something had been chasing her in her nightmare. I knew it was something bad. I had leapt out of bed the moment she started screaming, trying to wake her up.But she just kept screaming to let her go, to help her, which meant something was happening. And I had known enough in my life in the mafia to know that this was not just a dream. No, this was something from her past.She tried to shift her gaze from my face and focus on the floor, but I didn’t let her. I gripped her chin firmly enough to keep her eyes on me without causing her pain.“Alora, are you okay?” I asked the dumbest question in the world while settling beside her on the sofa as she sat leaning back, her tired eyes focused on the ceiling, staring into nothingness.I held her arm, pulling her into my chest, ignoring the pain that shot up from my side where the bullet had grazed my skin. It seemed like she needed that because

    Alora's POVOnce in my room, I plopped on my bed, burying my head into my pillow and screaming out my frustrations. A million thoughts were colliding in my head, but one of them stood out: This was all Dante Bellini's fault.Because of him, I had just had a very awkward moment with Luca, and an even worse, terrifying encounter with someone who could be after my life while in this house. Even Luca seemed unsure of my safety. Now I had to protect myself from the Italian Mafia's best assassin. Great. Just great, Alora."God, why am I so stupid?" I screamed into my pillow."It's a good thing, you know."I stiffened on the bed, a glare forming on my face. Without her expecting it, I grabbed the nearest pillow and hurled it at her.My face fell when Vittoria caught it effortlessly, her lips curling up at the edges."You have such terrible aim, Alora. I think I'll have Dante teach you some shooting exercises. It's a good thing Alfonso is back. He’ll be the best teacher for you."My face pale

    Alora's POVDante walked in with slow, calculated steps, his eyes holding mine so intensely that looking away became impossible. What did he want now? And why did he have to come early, right when I was talking to Luciano?To make matters worse, I just had to act suspicious by dropping my phone.He walked straight toward me, his gaze fixed on my face as if trying to gauge whether there was any fear or panic. But I was impassive. It seemed like being in the mafia had taught me how to hide emotions—or maybe it was just in my head, and he could actually see through me.“Alora,” he called my name in his deep, husky voice, which sent a shiver down my spine. Not from cold, but from delight.And this was why I hated being in this man’s presence. Despite the fact that I despised him, his presence caused reactions in my body that I did not want.“Will you tell me who you were talking to on the phone?”“No, I won’t tell you anything,” I replied stubbornly, making sure my defiance was written al

    Dante's POVWhen Alora ran out of the gym with all her excitement, I couldn't contain the small smile playing on my lips. I was genuinely happy that she was going to get out of here and do something for herself that would make her happy as well.However, the smile dropped once I noticed the two fuckers who had been talking with her when I came in."Ignacio, Rudolph, come here." I motioned to them.The gym fell silent once all the men noticed the deadly glare I was giving to their colleagues.Very good. They all should watch and learn, so they will know who to talk to and who to avoid from now on."Don," their gruff voices chorused, but I didn’t answer. Rather, I took my sweet time removing the boxing gloves from my hands.In a fragment of a second, I pounced, my fist landing a solid punch on Ignacio’s cheek. He staggered backward as he wasn’t expecting the blow.Knowing that Rudolph would be expecting the next one, I smirked, a dark glint present on my face.It was so much that he too

    Dante's POVThe rest of the ride to the warehouse was as awkward as it could get. I didn’t stop glaring at Alfonso the whole way there. Marco had taken over the steering wheel, and I sat behind him, sipping whiskey to calm my nerves before I forgot who Alfonso was and ended his pathetic life.When we got to the warehouse, one of my tech guys ran outside to meet us, his eyes wide in panic and breathing heavily as though he had just run five miles.“Don, we just got info. We found out who was behind Gianni’s shooting.”My ears perked up, and I felt my heart jump.“Who was it?” I growled, forming a tight fist with my hands.He shook his head, a silent signal that it wasn’t a matter to be discussed in the open. I nodded, and we moved into the warehouse.On the outside, it looked like a regular building—four floors, machinery, and equipment packed and frequently used to avoid suspicion. I do own a legal construction business, so it’s no doubt that I’m able to hide any traces of illegal act

    Alora's POV"You like her, don’t you?" I asked Luciano, diverting from the topic at hand."Get whatever is in your head out of the gutter. Vittoria and I were only talking about you. She just met me by chance the other day and told me to meet with her here."Yeah, could have fooled me. I don't know why they're hiding the fact that they like each other. There's nothing wrong with it. If anything, it makes me glad that my brother has found a woman he loves."Back to earth, Alora," Luce snapped his hands in my face, making me jolt.Ignoring my glare, he continued, "In the meantime, don’t tell anyone about our real identity, Alora. There is just too much at stake, which is why I can’t leave Dad and follow you."When he said that, I knew there was a secret they hadn’t told me yet. And they wouldn’t.Because that’s how my life has been now—just secretive people and hidden truths.But that doesn’t mean I won’t find out.Just like I found out about him and Vittoria here today, I believed I co

    Alora's POVIf anything could have told me that Dante didn't like Anton, then the forced smile on his lips definitely did.Despite this, they gave each other a bro-hug."Man, you have been missing. Office duties?" Anton asked again."Yes, Anton. I have been very busy in the office managing a lot of things," Dante replied.If they were talking about the "office," it probably meant Anton didn't know Dante's true identity. Or maybe he thought I didn't know. Well, it was up to them.While I stood there, all I could feel were my nerves coiling at the thought of what Dante had in mind for me. Damn Luca—why hadn't he told me Dante had left the house? Or maybe Dante had caught on to us earlier than I thought, and there was really nothing we could do to escape it.The men kept discussing for a while as if I didn't exist, and I took that as my perfect opportunity to disappear. Slowly, I slipped down the hallway, moving silently like a pro.I was about two doors away from them when Dante, even w

    Chapter 70Alora's POVI was doing it.I was succeeding.I had actually escaped the tight confines of the mafia mansion. My legs were hitting the pavement hard as I tried to get away.Nobody was chasing me. Yet.But even as I ran, I felt like someone was about to pounce on me and take me back to the mansion. The look of disappointment and rage on Dante's face propelled my legs forward until I finally spotted a cab.Hailing it, I told the driver to follow Vittoria to the place she had just gone to. The device in my hand was indicating not only her journey but the time it would take for me to meet her.“Right here, sir. Thank you very much,” I said, handing the driver his money. Yes, this time I brought money with me.Although I was doing something risky by being here, a thrill was coursing through me. For the first time in a long time, I felt alive. The desire to explore the city hit so hard that I almost forgot my mission—follow Vittoria, record her, and send it to Luca.I didn't know

  • The Mafia Don And The Nurse   Chapter 69

    Alora's POVI walked into the mansion on trembling feet, relieved that I had managed to fool Vittoria into thinking I was fine.Then again, I doubted she would have noticed anything was wrong. Her attention had been glued to her phone from the moment she saw me until we got into the cars and left the mall.Enough about Vittoria—the real issue was, how did he keep finding me?I checked my hands and neck, searching for any bracelet or jewelry that could have a tracker, but there was nothing. I would have to ask Gianni or Luca about the different ways the Mafia tracked people so easily.Unless… he wasn’t tracking me through something on my body at all.Which could only mean one thing—one of Dante’s men was working with my father.That possibility made too much sense. My father had been finding me at the most unexpected times, even knowing about my private date with Dante in the garden of his mansion. Something was definitely off, and we needed to get to the bottom of it.But now, he had

    Dante's POVVittoria was a nervous wreck.Vittoria trembled.For the first time since I had become Don years ago and appointed her as Underboss, Vittoria trembled.It wasn’t something to take lightly because she was my Underboss—the person in whose hands I had placed my mafia.So what exactly was wrong with her? Why was she acting so off? Doing things she had never done before… going out at odd hours?I didn’t want to have her tailed. No.Loyalty was a very important aspect of trust and belief in my mafia. None of the top people were ever to be suspected.These were my family.But at this point, it seemed like I was going to have to go back on my word and send my men to find out what had Vittoria so occupied—occupied enough to be nervous when I called her to ask why she hadn’t been around much.The knock on my door pulled me from my thoughts. I had been tapping my pen incessantly on my desk, my mind struggling to piece together what Vittoria was up to.“Hey.”Luca’s head popped in. “A

    Alora's POVDante is onto me. My dad is onto me. It seems like the whole world is onto me at this point.What the hell am I supposed to do?Maybe I can find someone to confide in. Yes, that’s what I have to do, I thought to myself as I paced up and down in a room in the medical bay. The nurses were in the other area.They had asked me why I was here when I clearly wasn't working much anymore—thanks to Dante. I told them I needed to practice something small and for them to give me privacy, which they had done, thankfully. I wouldn’t want anyone to see me in this state.I thought I’d been masking it quite well—the fear in my eyes. But it seems like Dante noticed.What the hell? Just how does he notice everything about me?I didn’t want him to know. Dad said not to make anyone suspect.No. I was not obeying my dad. I was just scared of what the outcome would be. His words still rang in my head even today."You are going to act like my beautiful little spy in that mansion. Get me all the

    Dante's POV"Where is Vittoria?" I asked two men who were in the gym. Normally, this was her gym time, as she didn’t train with everyone else."No idea, boss.""We don’t know, Don," they responded.This was the fifth time I had looked for her in the mansion. What is going on? Her movements had just been… weird and too frequent.The Vittoria I knew only went out when there was a mission. She didn’t even have much of a social life, had no female friends, or anyone she would want to hang out with. I know her first female friend is Alora, which is why she values their friendship so much.Maybe I could ask Alora about Vittoria? Girls gossip, right… so she’d know something.Who am I kidding? Both of them are the same. Ever since we came back from the date, Alora has been avoiding me. Now, I had taken it to heart. It is definitely my fault.What could I have said during the date that would make her so worried and scared of me? Damn it, I knew it. I shouldn’t have spoken so much. Now, I have

I wonder what could be delaying her arrival.I don't know what’s wrong with this girl. She just seems a bit off these days. But that is beside the point now. I need to focus on this emergency, and then I was going to ask her what exactly had her so occupied that I barely saw her, even though we basically lived rooms apart from each other.Finally, after another excruciatingly long wait, I heard a knock on my door before she pushed it open, strolled into my room, and slumped down on the bed like she owned the place."Who dares summon her royal highness? How mayest I be of help to you low—""Vittoria, this is not the time for jokes, okay? We need to do something now.""Oh, Alora, I'm tired. I didn't sleep last night.

You should also ask me where we were, right?" Gianni cut in, making my eyes widen.Is he having a death wish?"Gianni, stop!"

I just hope he doesn't throw me under the bus. We made an agreement That if I took him out, he was going to keep my own secret."Yes, I took him out. We went to see Cherry," .
