Chapter 53

last update Last Updated: 2023-11-04 19:17:51

A/N: I messed up around chapter 50. So the twins are 3 in age and Dante and Daphnee have known each other for 7 years. Dante meets the children a few months before their 4th birthday. So Raffael has been investigating Daphnee for almost 3 years after seeing her at the hospital’s back entrance. (I’ll fix this on a later date)

Dante snapped back to earth as he heard a little voice speaking to him. He looked to his left, where Giovanni was standing beside him.

“Uh, what did you say?” Dante asked him.

Giovanni stared at him for a moment, then repeated, “Open, please.”

Dante looked at the packet of chips, then took it. Handing it back to him, he watched as Giovanni went back to his mother and plopped down in between her legs.

Daphnee kissed him on the cheek, then went back to eating the chicken salad she bought.

Feeling a stare on her, she turned to Dante and asked, “Aren’t you going to have anything?”

“I ate before coming here,” he answered.

“Daddy, you not hungry?” She asked as she han

    “It’s laughable seeing you just sleep like that,” Dante said.Something had been assaulting her nose. It was a strange smell. She knew the scent but couldn’t pinpoint where she knew the smell from. She was slowly waking up when she heard his words.Opening her eyes, everything was hazy. Her head was pounding and as her gaze focussed on her husband before her, she saw he was shirtless staring at her and the look in his eyes wasn’t friendly at all.‘When last did I see that look in his eyes? Ah, it was back then when they caught me,’ she thought.“What did you do to me? My body feels like shit,” she asked him.His jaw ticked. He made his way behind her and sat her up on the bed.Daphnee looked around, figuring out that she was in the guest room from the decorations.Looking down at her hands, she saw they were tied together. Sighing, she asked, “What are you up to now?”Dante knelt between her legs, spreading them apart, and looked up at her. “What am I up to? Why don’t you try guessing

    An hour before Daphnee woke up…“Where’s mommy?” Giovanni asked.Dante was sitting on the living room floor with the children, watching them play with Aurora’s toys.She was showing her brother all the toys she had here and speaking to him with excitement.Giovanni didn’t seem phased because he didn’t like none of the pink stuffed toys and doll houses along with all the babies and dolls.“Mommy’s sleeping,” he said.Giovanni stared at Dante, unsure. He understood he had a ‘daddy’ but now to see him and be with him for so long, he didn’t know what to do or how to act, especially with his mother not being around.“Can I go home now? I’m tired,” he said.Aurora looked at her brother, then at their father and found it confusing. Their mother would never leave Giovanni here.She got up and went to Dante, who smiled at her, “Daddy, are you and mommy fighting again?”“Fighting? No baby, we’re not,” he said.She looked at her brother, then looked in the room for Alessandro or Gabriele, but th

    Dante locked the door as he left. Making his way downstairs, he put on the shirt he was given by the maid. He looked at Alessandro, who walked in with Raffael behind him, asking, “Are you ready to take us to Angelica?”He nodded his head, defeated. “Yes.”“Alessandro, this is the second time you took Daphnee’s side. I hope it’s the last,” he warned him.Alessandro nodded his head. They climbed into the car that Gabriele was already waiting in and drove off.When they arrived at the house, everything seemed to be a mess.“What’s happening?” Raffael asked as he climbed out.The others followed him, with Gabriele right at the back, taking his time. Alessandro looked at the dead bodies on the floor then rushed to the door that was opened.He looked back at them, then saw that Gabriele was left behind while Dante and Raffael checked the bodies.“What did you do?” He asked.Dante and Raffael looked at Alessandro’s panicked expression, then at Gabriele’s calmed expression.Before he could an

    Madam Bardi was in her private car as she stared out of the window at the passing scenery. “I am the eldest living representative of the Bardi Mafia and I’ve never been disrespected like this. What do you suggest I do?” She asked her driver, who was also her secretary and right-hand man.He looked into the rear-view mirror at her and saw that she wasn’t looking at him. Thinking about her question, he thought of Daphnee and all that she had done and how she came to be part of the mafia. He didn’t understand her, so he said, “I am certain madam has thought of how to deal with Donna.”“Correct. She is the Donna,” she said.*They arrived at Dante’s home, and he was waiting outside for her. He gave his mother a hug, asking, “Are you well?”Madam Bardi smiled at him, “Am I well? I am doing well. What about you? You look terrible.”“I didn’t sleep last night,” he said.She nodded her head. She received the report of everything from Raffael’s investigation, Alessandro’s betrayal. The dead b

    Aurora watched Dante’s car drive off through the window. Sighing, she picked up her favourite stuffed grey elephant and made her way to the guest room to look for her mother.The door was slightly opened, so she didn’t need to knock. Pushing the door open, she looked around the room for her mother and saw Daphnee standing by the bed with the top lifted up over her breasts.Daphne was looking at her stomach and feeling around the blue marks.The smile on Aurora’s face dropped. She suddenly felt worried because the last time she saw her mother’s body, it didn’t have marks on it and she knew those marks were from getting hurt as she used to fall and bump into the furniture and have those same colourful marks on her body.“Mommy, did you fall?” She asked, rushing into the room and dropping the elephant on the floor.Daphne’s eyes widened. She quickly pulled down her top and caught Aurora, faking a brilliant smile.She sat them down on the bed gently and hummed, “Mn, mommy fell down but I’

    Climbing out of the car with Giovanni in his arms, Dante looked at him and asked, “Are you excited about today?”Giovanni looked around them and saw the carnival ahead. He was curious as to what was up ahead and nodded his head. “What’s that?”“The carnival, we’re going to spend the day here. Just you and me,” Dante answered.He looked at the guards, saying, “Keep a lookout. I don’t want anything going wrong today.”They bowed to him.He walked off and bought tickets. Looking around, he felt confused. Growing up, he knew another side of life and that was spending money on things you didn’t need and his parents would buy him whatever he wanted. Now he wanted to spend time with his kid, but he didn’t know where to start.Giovanni looked at his confused expression and asked, “What is it?”Dante looked at him, saying, “I don’t know. Where do you want to go?”Giovanni saw the horses in the distance and pointed to the horse carousel. “There. The white one.”He put Giovanni down, who was wig

    Opening the door to Gabriele’s hospital room. He stared at him until Gabriele opened his eyes. Walking over to the bed, he asked, “How do you feel?”Gabriele chuckled, but his body hurt. Sitting up, he said, “I’ve seen better days.”He nodded his head. “Daphnee told me that she forced your hand. Why didn’t you tell me?”Gabriele looked at his broken leg, asking, “Would you believe me? All I know is to do what I am told. I didn’t expect for my instruction to turn out like that.”Dante recalled Gabriele’s expression when they walked into the house, and he didn’t seem surprised.“You certainly looked guilty,” he said.Shaking his head, Gabriele said, “It’s because I knew the outcome once I saw the bodies in front of the house. Daphnee, she, overtime I saw the changes in her but I didn’t know it was to this extreme.”Sitting down, Dante thought about his wife thinking, ‘It’s my fault she is like this.’“Why didn’t you report this?” He asked.Gabriele glanced at him, then said, “I had no c

    A few months later…Daphnee was sitting at a cafe drinking tea while she watched her children eat cake. Suddenly, a woman approached her and sat down at the table after pulling a chair over. Before Daphnee could open her mouth, the woman placed a hand over hers, saying, “Don’t panic, I don’t mean any harm.”Daphnee looked at the children, then at the woman and asked, “Who are you?”Slipping her wallet on to the table, she said, “I’m special officer Alessia De Luca. My badge is in my wallet.”Daphne didn’t need to open the wallet. “What do you want? I’m here with my children.”Special Officer Alessia looked at the children and said as she started speaking English, “I’m here to talk about your husband. Can you show me a wedding photo?”Daphnee stared at her, “And that has what to do with you?”Daphnee saw the guard approach them but put her hand up, telling him not to come over. Officer Alessia looked behind her at the man and said, “They listen to you. I’m surprised.”“I think you sho

    A few months later…Giovanni and Aurora climbed into the back of a limo. Facing Aleksandr, the twins could tell that something was wrong. Aleksandr looked at Aurora, “Aren’t you going to greet me?”She smirked. “Do you seriously want to do this in front of my brother? You know he doesn’t like you.”“Cut the crap Aleks, why did you call me here? Wouldn’t it be better if it was only Aurora?”“Well, I wouldn’t call you for anything. You know we don’t get along, but I’m doing this for Aurora.”He looked at her and saw that she was confused. “So I know the story and I find it strange that your father doesn’t want to talk about it, so I did my research.”Pulling out an envelope, he handed it to Giovanni.Giovanni took the envelope cautiously and opened it. Aurora placed her hand on his. Her heart was beating incredibly fast, and she was unable to fathom what was on those papers. Looking at her brother, she shook her head. “I thought you didn’t care.”Staring at his sister, he hook his head

    Aurora felt guilty from the depths of her soul and heart. She could feel that her brother was staring at her and she didn’t know if she wanted to look at him or dig a hole and die. “Why are you staring at me?” she asked as she finally got the courage to look back at him.To her surprise, Giovanni wore what seemed to be a bored expression on his face. He should be freaked out by this information, but he didn’t seem to be bothered at all. “Why do you look like you don’t care?”“It’s not that I don’t care. You’re just making a big deal about nothing. I already told you that you shouldn’t listen to those girls, but it looks like you’ll jump into a fire if they mentioned it a bunch of times.”Aurora sighed. “It’s not like that. I don’t know why, but it’s like something told me to look into it.”“And what did you get out of it? A broken heart, red eyes and me glaring at you? You even made momma cry with your stupidity! Just because you have the resources to do shit doesn’t always mean that

    Aurora walked into the house with heavy steps. Suddenly, it felt like there was a heavy load on her shoulders with all the information she now knew.‘Don’t worry about it. Just forget it,’ Aleksandr told her before he dropped her off, but how could she? I dug my grave. How am I going to face them now? “Oh, you’re here?” Giovanni said as he walked out of the living room, snapping her out of her thoughts. She looked at him and saw that he was typing away on his phone as he walked round shirtless and in green socks. “She’s got presents again for us. You took so damn long. I want to find out what she got us.” Walking up to him, she asked, “Why didn’t you just open yours?”“Did you forget? We always open our shit together. What’s wrong with you? Forgetting your own rules like a damn idiot.”She nodded her head as he walked away, following behind him as she put some distance between them.From head to toe, she looked at her brother. ‘How did I not see it? But how am I going to live witho

    “So when are you going to be my girlfriend?” Aleksandr Novikov said as he stared across the table at Aurora, who was picking at her plate of food.Aurora glanced over at him and smiled. They had been going on dates for the past three months, getting to know one another. He was three years older than her and somewhat of a hostage in the Bardi Familia. It wasn’t a secret that Aleksandr had a thing for her. He made sure everyone knew she was untouchable.Pouting, she said, “Aleks, you know I’m not allowed to date.”He reached over the table and moved her plate to the side. Taking her hands in his, he looked into her beautiful hazel orbs saying, “And I want no one but you. I’ve spoken to your father already–”“But has he agreed? I also told you I’d consider it.”He raised a brow and squeezed her hand firmly, minding not to hurt her. “I know what we spoke about.”She smiled weakly with a shake of her head.“So tell me, what’s bothering you?”Aurora stared at him, and immediately her eyes

    Ten years laterAurora stormed into the living room where fifteen-year-old Giovanni was lying on the floor eating popcorn.He looked over at his sister and saw that her eyes were red, her cheeks were swollen, and so was the skin under her eyes.He quickly sat up, asking, “Who should I kill?”She shoved her bag on the floor and walked up to him. She sat down in front of him. “Why don’t we look the same?”“What?”“Isabella said we don’t look like twins,” she said as she broke out in tears. She had been crying for so long already that her eyes were burning, but the tears just wouldn’t stop.Her heart was broken and if what they were saying was the truth–what was she going to do?He shook his head, annoyed. “Why do you still hang out with those idiots? All they do is bad mouth you when an opportunity arises and make you spend money.”“That is not the point!” She took out her phone and went to the gallery and showed a picture to him saying, “Giovanni, you look so much like daddy and I do t

    Giovanni was sitting on the staircase watching his mother walk, or you could say waddle up and down the steps. Her stomach had grown over the months, but the relationship between his parents was dour.His father was home every day. He made sure to give them enough attention too but just wished things would go back to the way it was before he met his father but then again; he liked his father too.“You’re making me dizzy.”She stopped next to him and glared. “No one told you to watch me!”“I missed you,” he said.Daphnee chuckled, “You’re supposed to pay attention at school, not miss me.”Giovanni rolled his eyes. “Whatever mommy.”“Where’s your sister?” She asked.He groaned inwardly, “I left her in the playroom, she talks too much.”Daphne chuckled. She worried about him, especially the relationships between Giovanni and his father and him and his sister.Dante had told her he saw what happened that night and for about two months, his relationship with Aurora wasn’t good. They suspec

    “What do you mean?”Daphne chuckled. Rolling her eyes, she walked towards her with the sound of heels clicking against the cream tiles. Backing Emelia into a corner, between a cupboard and pillar, she said, “So, there was this woman, and she decided she was going to kidnap my dear husband and take care of him in her own way. So, I killed her.”Emelia’s eyes widened. She recalled the chaos that occurred many years ago and, come to think of it, but the details, “An, Angelica–you killed Angelica?”Daphnee nodded her head slowly with a calming yet canning smile, “I did and I don’t regret it. She played so much in getting me to where I am today, but you—”Emelia pushed her away. “Oh, don’t lie. I know all about you. You killed all those men a few months ago, and that’s why Dante’s here with me. Thanks to you, I am going to b

    Daphnee wiped the edges of her mouth as she came up from the toilet—disgusted and nauseous. Walking to the sink, she stared at herself in the mirror—glaring, not at herself but at the future awaiting her.Her gaze slid down to the pregnancy test tube she had just took ten minutes ago. She recalled how Dante man handled her a few weeks ago.Since that night, he didn’t show his face–never even called.The children asked about him and all the lies she spoke. She was slowly starting to believe, living in delusion.Wiping her mouth, she left the bathroom, throwing the test tube in the bin at the corner of her desk.Sitting down behind the desk, she leaned against the chair and closed her eyes as she rubbed her stomach, thinking about the little rat growing inside her womb.Her week had been miserable. She even lashed out at her children for wanting her attention

    “Are they going to be okay?” Dante asked her as he watched Daphnee stroke Aurora’s hair. They ended up laying the children down on their bed because they didn’t want to leave Daphnee’s side. She gazed over at him contemplatively, asking, “What happened between the three of you?”His nostrils flared up as he took in a deep breath, recalling what the conversation was about. Rubbing his nose as he paced around the room taking off the clothes, he said, “They can tell that things aren’t okay between us. Aurora said they wanted to go out together as a family, hoping we would make up.”Daphnee raised a brow. She looked down at her children and sighed. She tried her best to not make it obvious that things weren’t well between them, but how was it possible when she herself wanted nothing to do with Dante and he–all he knew was not to come home. “Are you staying or leaving?”“Leaving,” he answered and froze. Turning to Daphnee, he looked at the children and realised that it was because he a
