DANTE… "You won't be leaving this mansion from now henceforth you'll be confined within the walls" I said in a calm tone, putting my fingers against my lips and suddenly Ashley laughed but this time around it was with a cold sharp tone. She looked straight at me with her piercing eyes. "Who do you think you are to give me orders and expect I'll obey them? do you think I'm a kid?" she rolled her eyes at me in disgust "I wish you were a kid then you wouldn't be giving so much tantrums, I'm not asking for your suggestion it's a command from me so quit the talking!" "You excuse of a man I despise you so fucking much" she snapped, her eyes narrowing at me "Repeat your words woman!" I retorted, shaking my head and I looked at her with uncertainty "I don't abide by repeating my words and I'm pretty sure you clearly heared what I spewed out" "Why can't you see I wanna protect you and that's only possible if you don't leave my sight" I exhaled, scowling hard at her and I rose to my feet
DANTE… Ashely brought my hand to her face, guiding me in trailing a finger down her neck between her breasts and resting my hand on her stomach as she gently nibbled on her lower lip, her warm lips pressed against the soft area behind my ear making me shudder in excitement. In that moment I felt her finger on my lips and she leaned in closer, pulling my head down then my lips touched with her's as she impatiently drank me up and I surrendered to the passion she always managed to arouse in me as I clinged to her, my heart stepped up in a fast pace. My fingers trailed a warm tingly path to the back of her dress. I moaned involuntarily, my lips returning to her's I held her face in my hand and deepened the kiss, thrilled with when she responded by becoming more demanding and more passionate. My hands moved down to her inner thighs, seeking her waist and squeezing it. I drew her close and we broke apart from the kiss, her face exuding warmness. My head was filled with the thoughts of
ASHLEY... Two days had passed but Dante's revelation was met with a stunned silence, the racing beat of my heart pulsated under my finger tips and his words which lingered in my head. I rose to my feet, pacing up and down anxiously, flinging myself into a chair. I wiped the sweat which was formed on my forehead with the back of my hand, my arms crossed on the table and my head sunken into my shoulder. "It's time for me to let you go Ashley" his echo of words filled my head as my heart squeezed with cold shivers running down my spine. I had become so attached to him that I felt leaving him would mean throwing away a part of my life. After the dinner date we went home and I didn't give him a reply, I was dumbstruck and I needed time to process everything going through my head. At one moment he's making me feel loved and in another moment he's making me feel regrets. Dante was really a caring and kind man man underneath his cold and expressionless face. Soon enough I found myself
ASHLEY… "Come on, don't be a spoilt sport. It's not like he's your guardian angel who follows you everywhere, trust me Dante won't have a clue about it" Racheal, my best friend squeaked in excitement. I had missed her so much after being apart for months, unfortunately I was taken as a captive by Dante and she had no idea about it. It took me a whole lot to convince her that it wasn't her fault and because of her dangerous suggestion I had the opportunity to find love again, I was sure it was love I felt for Dante. I had fallen in love with him, I mean who wouldn't?. Dante made arrangements for his men to drop me at my destination and she was so elated to see me and we kept chatting all through without having a break. Racheal suggested we go to the club and strip for the night but I was against it. "I know what I'm saying Racheal, believe me when I say Dante has his eyes on everywhere even though he isn't present" I stated convincly "I understand you but I was so flabbergasted w
ASHLEY… My knuckles whitened as a cold chill washed over me then I felt a small bead of sweat drop down my face and ran down my neck. "Your silence is killing me, aren't you upset with me?" I asked with my arms crossed over my chest and Dante gazed down at me with a strange expression. I tried to pull away from him but I was unable to move as he pressed his body against mine and I felt my pulse quicken. He pulled me close in an embrace, his warm lips against mine in response to our silent query. Tears welled up in my eyes but I was unable to cry and also unable to realise any attachment to the moment we shared together as I let them stream down my cheeks. Dante cupped my face in his hands,making me whip my head behind and he stared open eyed and blankly at me as a kind of peacefulness overcame me. "I'm not upset with you and please don't do this, I hate seeing tears in your eyes" he stated and I swallowed hard when he used his thumb to stroke my tears away from my cheek. "You s
DANTE…The sound of thunder was muffled by the heavy rain and distant mumbling.I sat down on the chair with my legs crossed apart and my elbow placed on my lap with a cold and demeaning expression flickered on my face.My men brought in someone forcefully with a sack which covered his whole body as he let out a pitiful groan.They flung the body towards me and I raised my hand in the air as they all dismissed from my sight and slammed the door behind them.I hauled to my feet and I smiled as I grabbed his neck in my hand and gave him a little squeeze.He kept on struggling to get out of the sack and that alone was irritating and I groaned in frustration, feeling drunk on my rage.I untied the sack and pulled it off it's body as David glared at me, his expression was smug and I could see the anger in his eyes.He stood up and stepped closer to me as he raised his hand to punch me but I was an expert when it came to martial arts and before his punch could land on me, I dodged and grabb
ASHLEY… I had been trying to call Dante's number but it rang multiple times without him picking up. I was left wondering about his whereabouts because he didn't divulge anything to me while leaving. I tried his number one more time but it was switched off, tapping my feet on the floor I realised I shouldn't be too worried about him. Dante Garvino is a mafian boss and he could always protect himself even without safety measures. My stomach rumbled and I rubbed it gently while pushing my chair behind and standing up then I made my way to the kitchen. Looking at the empty kitchen, I sighed in disbelief. Of course I wasn't expecting to see a stacked up kitchen with different groceries to choose from. Racheal wasn't the type to cook, she couldn't even cook a meal without it getting burnt. She finally gave up on cooking and began to order meals online. Squinting my eyes and tapping a finger on the side of my head, I whistled and brought out a knife to chop some salad. I was just go
ASHLEY… "No more shedding of tears, I'm aware your heart is so big that you can accommodate everyone, including the one that hurt you deeply" Rachel said, consoling me. "I tried to run away from my horrible childhood but at the end of the day, the man lying unconscious is still my dad, his blood runs through my veins" I sobbed uncontrollably "So what have you decided on? I promise I'll support every decision of yours" Racheal stated, dragging a stool beside me and she gestured for me to sit down. "I'll let him stay here till he recovers and I'll also take care of him but once he's able to stand up on his own feet I'll just send him away" "It must be a tough decision right? but hopefully with time I believe your decision will change" Rachel voiced out, placing a hand on my shoulder and squeezed it lightly as I glanced up at her and faked a smile. "He needs a room to stay in so I'll just tidy up the storeroom and change it into a comfortable bedroom before he regains consciousness"
