Alora's POV

Dante called Vittoria for something, leaving me alone in my room for the rest of the day. We hadn't seen each other ever since he had me locked up in the dungeon again. It was not a beautiful experience the first time, but the second time, I was numb. I didn't feel scared or terrified as I'd have thought.

Maybe because the events happening had my mind distracted.

My door opened, and the softness of the feet on the floor indicated to me that it was Gianni before he even spoke.

“Hey, Alora,” he chirped, jumping on my bed.

“Gianni. How was school?” I forced a smile.

The kid stared at me as if I was crazy. “Alora, are you fine? Do you have memory loss?”

I stared back, deadpan. I'm perfectly alright. Or do I look bad? Maybe being in the dungeon made me look tired and weak.

I was about to walk into the bathroom and check myself out in the mirror when Gianni said, “It's December, Alora. We are on break. It'll soon be Christmas.”

Oh. How did I miss that?

“That is why I came here,”

    Dante's POV"Where are the reports about everything that has been going on? Start presenting now." I motioned to Luca, who sat typing away on his laptop, his brows creased as he focused. He leaned back against his seat."I think we are getting somewhere, Dante. We are so close to ruining all the plans they have made for so long. We just need to be tactical. Look at this."He turned his laptop to me and started showing me different things he had been working on for the past week. While I was listening, my mind suddenly blanked out from his conversation, taking me instead towards Alora.Dang it. Even when I was tense and working hard, she could not leave my mind alone. I needed to be focused on this mission, get it out of my system, and then continue leading my mafia.But then, one girl kept disturbing my every action and every thought.Dang it, Alora. Get the hell out of my mind."Dante!" Luca's voice snapped me back to the meeting."Oh, sorry. Yes, you were saying?""Dante, I just lai

    Chapter 85Dante's POV Marco snorted beside me, making me wish I could pull out my gun and end the idiot so this wouldn't get out. Although I knew Vittoria and Luca would know about this before midnight—Gianni was a little rascal, after all.But why had I blurted out something like that in the first place? It wasn’t a lie, though. Alora indeed looked more beautiful than ever. Maybe it was because I hadn’t seen her for so long. Still, I had been trying to memorize her face in my mind every time.So how was it that she kept getting more beautiful? Was it the heavens trying to punish me for avoiding her? What if she became even more stunning and then got interested in someone else?No, hell no. There was no way I was letting her end up with another man. Not under my watch."Alora, what are you doing here?" I asked in a voice softer than the soft one I was using with Marco and Luca during the meeting."Great to see you too, brother," Gianni said, rolling his eyes.Oh, shoot. Had I forgot

    Alora's POVVittoria told me she was surprised Dante had allowed me to go to the party. She said this party wasn’t really something Dante would allow me attend and that, for the past years, he had gone with Bianca on his arm.Now, going with me, she knew it would stir up even more drama.The only downside we had was that time passed quickly. This meant that immediately after the party, she was leaving, and we had gone nowhere with our plans.Marco, on the other hand, told me everything on his end was working out smoothly and that, in no time, we'd figure out who our spy was.Despite the fact that Dante had apologized to me in his office, I was still set on avoiding him. It now seemed like a routine—one minute we were fine and teasing each other, the next minute we were cats and dogs."Stupid mafia don. Why am I still thinking of you, dammit?"He hurt me. I shouldn't be thinking of him in this manner. I'm going crazy.He also apologized, and he did sound genuine. Maybe I should have fo

    Alora's POVWhen Dante got toward us, Anton separated himself from me, probably expecting Dante to take me away. I also expected that, but it seemed we had given him a passageway instead because he just swiftly moved past us and toward the door.My brows furrowed, and so did Anton’s, as we turned to stare at him.What the hell?I felt my heart plummet when Dante walked straight toward the door and, with a smile, held the hand of a blonde, attractive woman who had just walked into the hall. He landed a kiss on her hand—just like Anton had done to me earlier.Ouch.I tried not to stare, even as he held out his elbow for her to place her hand in. Awkwardly, I took a drink from a passing waitress’s tray.No, I don’t drink.I just took it because I was trying to cover my face from the embarrassment that follows, especially from men in our mafia."Are you okay?" Anton just had to ask. Damn you, man. Of course, I'm not okay."Don’t ask me that.""I know that hurt.""What hurt? Of course, I’m

    Alora's POVI didn't know whether I was more shocked than Vittoria and Marco by Dante's revelation. For a moment, nothing seemed to move in the room. It seemed even the man who was grunting on the floor had stopped as we all tried to understand what had just been said.Dante, on the other hand, didn't look like he knew what he had said. Instead, his arms went back around me, holding me as if he was scared I would run off. Well, that was the plan, of course, because it's not every day a mafia boss tells you he loves you.Like, what?For goodness' sake, this guy hated me, right? It was obvious in his every action that he hated me, so why would he say he loves me? Gosh, I was so confused, and I was experiencing it firsthand."Uh, Dante? We have someone on the floor." Vittoria finally intervened, making me give her a nod of gratitude because I was lost.Dante turned. The softened eyes that had been glancing at me every so often to make sure I was fine disappeared.

    Dante's POV"Damn, Dante, you failed, man. You failed big time. In this one, you were a big-ass failure."Marco repeated for the fifteenth time on the other side of the table. Luca smirked, and Vittoria snickered."I won't fail at shooting right through your eyes. Wanna test how good I am at that?"Marco raised his hands in mock surrender, stifling a laugh. "Chill, man. It just—""What the hell is wrong with you guys? I didn't fail. I did exactly what you asked me to do, which is rare because I don't take orders for no shit.""You don't take orders, Dante. We know that. I didn't order you. All I said was, act like Alora doesn't matter much to you. How hard could that be? If I was told to act like Marco didn't matter to me, hell, I would do that and score 100%. Not that he even matters to me," Vittoria said.Marco picked up a magazine and chucked it at her head. She caught it and shot back, leading him to do the same and almost starting a fight if I hadn’t caught the thing mid-air."Yo

    Alora's POVAll the time I was hiding, I hadn't thought of how I would come out of my spot and go back out into Dante's room. By now, Dante would be scouring the entire place, searching for me.I massaged my forehead, feeling another headache forming. After fainting and being pumped with a large dosage of sedatives, I had gone through so much stress, which wasn't advisable.Gianni looked at me and rolled his eyes. "Are you dying?"Idiot."No. But I might as well die instead of being here, having to figure out how to go back out there."What was I thinking? And I had knocked both the doctor and nurse unconscious. I'm pretty sure he had seen them, and he would know something was up. So I couldn't even give an excuse. Ah, why did I have to be so dumb?"Gianni, don't just stand there. We have to think of something.""Uh. No. You have to think of something. You are the adult. Leave me alone."The sassy kid spat out, keeping a straight face.Adult, my foot."Maybe I could tell him, uh... I,

    Alora's POVI was already anticipating them storming into my hiding place and tying me up, but when I heard Carlos asking Gianni if he had seen me, I knew there was still hope.However, Carlos being in Gianni's room made my stomach churn. He was going to terrorize the poor kid. Or maybe I was wrong because each time he asked a question, Gianni would just give a sassy answer in return.That's my boy.Finally, Carlos had his men search a little and leave Gianni's room.I almost banged on the wall for him to open up so I could check if he was okay when I heard Carlos, now whispering..."Little demon, you are going to fix all this. Or maybe leave it. And if your brother asks you what happened in here, you are going to tell him you were just throwing a tantrum because nobody paid you any attention."Despite the fear bubbling in my stomach, I rolled my eyes. What stupid plan was that? Gianni was no kid who threw tantrums. Dante won't believe that shit."You don’t tell him we came in here, o

    Chapter 96Alora's POVI held the weapon in my trembling hand, my heart racing. It wasn't like they were going to die with what I would do, but maybe they would sleep a little bit.The nurse was supposed to walk into my room any time now to administer my medication. I heard the doctor telling her he would take something from the medical bay. Everything was working in my favor.As she got closer to the bed with the sedative, I brought mine up faster, stabbing it straight into her arm and pressing the plunger. She screamed—all useless, though.Carlos had lured out Dante and the others, perfect timing for me. He didn't know he had done me a huge favor. Hopefully, no guards were in the corridor, or else I'd be a goner.The drug didn't take long to work, which meant they were probably using a very good one. This is the mafia, after all. I hid behind the door, waiting patiently for my next target.He walked in, whistling a tune. To think I admired this doctor—one of the best in the field. W

    Alora's POV“Doctor, what do you mean?“ I heard Dante's growl as soon as my eyelids fluttered open.“She just isn't feeling well. It happens to people all the time. You know, we can't know what's wrong with her until we get test results. It could be malaria or something.“What...? I exhibited no symptoms of malaria... Do we even have malaria here?Dante seemed to share my thoughts because he asked, "Malaria? Like, hell, does this look like the tropics, stupido?""Don, everything is possible. Let's just wait to get the results.""Calm down, Dante. Just chill.""What the hell do you mean by chill, Luca?"My eyes flew open at the mention of the name.“Alora came ramping in here looking like she had just escaped from a ghost’s grip. You needed to see her, man. Marco, tell him. I thought you were her friend. You should be concerned.""Of course, I'm concerned," Luca responded. "I'm concerned, okay? But worrying like this is not going to make her any better. Let's just calm down and wait fo

    Chapter 94Alora's POV“What?" I asked Carlos again, hoping I'd heard him wrong. "What did you say?""I said... Um... I want you to forgive Rosa, okay? For saying things about you. She's probably just tired... That's how she's always been. When she doesn't know someone, she... she tends to be rude.“He was lying. I'd heard him well the first time. But I couldn't be stupid. It was time to leave."Okay, thank you. I'll be going now," I said, already turning to continue my trip to Dante's room."Wait, I have a question to ask you."For shit’s sake, couldn't he let me be?"What is it?""Did you, by any chance... you know... overhear... a conversation you shouldn't have?"I froze, my face paling. Dang it. He was onto me. I fisted my palms so tight I almost drew blood."W-what?" I let out, thankful that my stutter was almost inaudible."I asked if, uh... you overheard a conversation you shouldn't have. Maybe you were passing by... and you heard voices and decided to check on whether Luca wa

    Alora's POVNo time to spend thinking of where to go. I dashed down the vacant hallway. Just as I rounded the corner, I heard the creak of a door as it opened. I didn't continue running because I knew the pounding of my feet on the floor would alert them that I really was there."Come on, man. I'm not sure there's anybody there.""Are you sure you heard someone?" Rosa asked Carlos."I didn't hear, but I saw something that looked like a shadow, and it's no longer there. There was someone."My breathing came out harsh in gasps, and I knew I had to make a getaway before one of them screwed me over."I really doubt there's anybody here. Alora is sleeping with Dante, and these other rooms are all vacant for now since the men are cleaning up. Let's just forget this, Mom and Carlos.""Well, I do hope you're right, and nobody heard what we were saying. Now, remember to do your work well this time. Come on, darling. Let's go."My eyes bulged. Shit, they're coming this way.No, no, no, no, no.

Dante whispered only for me to hear, letting out a wink.Realizing just how close we were in front of others—who would never stop teasing me—I jumped down from his arms, almost injuring my knee in the process."Did you get it? Tell me you got it," I heard Vittoria exclaim.When I turned to face her, I noticed her and Marco chuckling among themselves while he held out his phone.Get what... Could it be a picture? Oh, hell no!"Give me that!" I jumped, trying to seize the phone, but Marco just held it higher, tossing it toward Luca, who caught it. By the time I could get to him, Vittoria had it in her hands, waving it."Don't worry, Alora, we won't do much with it. We'll just use it on your wedding day to embarrass both of you. Calm down."My frustration grew even more, and I tried harder to get on my tiptoes to grab the picture. Damn, why is she so tall? Plus, the boots she was wearing weren’t making it an
