2024-10-29 19:42:56Natalie stood up from the couch the moment Dante entered the sitting room. His eyes were bloodshot and he was panting heavily, his hands were bloody and his shirt was ripped open.
He didn't look like the man who had left the house earlier, he looked like a different person.
"Dante?" She called giving him a questioning look before coming towards him.
He stepped out of her way immediately walking towards the stairs.
"Dante?" She called again reaching out for him.
"Don't. Touch. Me!"
Her mouth hanging open in shock, her eyes wide with fright as her hand hanged in the air. He had never spoken to her in that tone before and he didn't glance at her either.
His eyes were focused on the staircase.
"Xavier!"
She shuddered at the sound of his voice.
"Don't yell like that you're gonna wake the kids up," Natalie said quietly.
"Don't you dare tell me what I can do and what I can't do," Dante snapped at her.

Dante drove out of the house, his heart bleeding from anger as he tried to suppress the pain he was feeling deep in his heart.He didn't want to think about the reality that had hit him so hard in the face he felt paralyzed with fear.They should have told him at least rather than lying to his face. Everyone knew about it even Sophie and possibly Jared but nobody thought it wise to tell him.He couldn't believe that Natalie could hide such a fact away from him. He drove till he got to the beach and then he stopped. His heart ached but he wouldn't give in to the pain."Dante?"He whirled around at the sound of Sophie's voice behind him. He groaned when he saw Sophie standing in front of him looking concerned."What do you want?" He snapped.He had agreed to get her out of jail doesn't mean she could stalk him."I just had to know how you're doing," she replied, "Everyone lied to you even when you deserved to know the truth so I kn

Natalie woke up with a start as she glanced around the room shivering. It was cold and the windows were open, she stood up to shut the blinds when she noticed it was snowing heavily outside and yet Dante or Dario wasn't back.Wiping off a stray tear, she headed back to bed pulling her stockings to keep her feet from freezing off when her bedroom door was pulled open and Dante came inside smiling."Hey, beautiful. I didn't know you were up already.""Hmmph!" She huffed.He set the tray he was carrying on the bed and came towards her looking sober."I'm sorry, love," he smoothed her hair and pulled her close to himself inhaling her scent trying to rid him of Sophie's horrible memory."Let me go, Dante," she grumbled."Never," he muttered in her hair."When did you get home?" She asked finally."About an hour ago," he replied, "I watched you sleep, and then I decided to make you a hot chocolate as a peace offering because you were s

"Omg!""Deep breath, Natalie," Trish whispered as she patted her hair softly."I can't believe I'll be getting married in two days!" Natalie exclaimed.She was sitting in front of her vanity mirror while Trish applied her makeup and dressed her up. They were going Christmas shopping today but they had decided to start practicing how she would walk down the aisle."Are you sure you wanna get married to Dante?" Trish asked.Natalie took a deep breath and smiled. "It's all I've ever wanted so I'm sure."Trish clapped her hands smiling happily. "I'm so glad now let's do a little marching."Natalie stood up and took Trish's outstretched hands then she began to walk in her long heels."Walking with heels is it alright during pregnancy?" Trish asked.Natalie frowned. "I'm not gonna let you guys ruin my day!"Trish chuckled. "We're all looking out for you."Natalie laughed too. "Well, I'm not an invalid.""Glad you're n

They were still trying to decide which Christmas tree was the best especially since they were going to get a lot of presents today when Natalie's phone rang.She was startled at who was calling her in the middle of her shopping with her family. She was surprised when she saw her grandfather's number displayed on her screen."Grandpa?" She answered immediately."Hey there Princess, I'm on my way to your house," he said.Natalie frowned. "Grandpa?"He sighed. "Alright, I'm with Sean and he has something to tell us.""What? No, I don't," she heard her father's whispering voice in the background."Yes, he does. Don't listen to him, Natalie," he chuckled."Grandpa, we aren't even home," Natalie said softly, "You could go do some bonding till we get back because we're gonna be gone for a while."The line went dead immediately and Natalie sighed. She didn't want to deal with them now especially since she's just convinced everyone to sta

Ricco paced up and down as he picked up the bags he was supposed to go with when his phone rang. He was surprised to see Natalie's number displayed on the screen."Hey, Nat," he said."Ricco, where are you?"He frowned. Why did her voice sound panicked? "I'm getting something together, I have to give it to your grandpa.""Can you not go to see him today, it's kinda urgent," she said."What is the matter, Nat?" He asked curiously."It's Trish."That single name sent his blood into a frenzy as he stared at his phone and then placed it back on his ears."Trish? What happened to her?" He finally asked.Her words didn't sound too clear in his ears after a while because he couldn't believe them. There was no way in hell that she could have been through such a gruesome ordeal."I don't know but I saw how you looked at Trish and I decided you were the best person to call because you care about her," Natalie continued."Damn r

Dante took a deep breath as the car pulled a stop before them and..."Kol? What are you doing here?" Faustino roared with anger.Kol, the guy who stepped out of the car trembled visibly from fear as he looked away from the angry Don."D-don..." He stumbled on his words trailing off.Dante felt bad for the trembling 5ft4 guy standing with his black hair falling over his face. His eyes held a hint of fear and anger."Yes?" Faustino prompted, "Why are you here?""Ricco," Kol breathed out the name like it was poisonous."Ricco?" Faustino arched a brow at him. He was getting impatient with the guy who kept wasting his time on everything."Ricco did what? Fucking speak up!""Ricco sent me," Kol finally said.Faustino's eyes widened in anger. "How dare he defile my orders even though I warned him?!"Kol gulped. "He-he said he ne-need to do something.""Something more important than getting here himself?" Faustino asked

"Emergency!"Dante woke up to the screaming sound of Trish and Natalie. He flew out of the bed almost forgetting to put on his shorts.After making sure he was properly attired to face the screaming crowd in his sitting-room he went out to see what the emergency was about.His sitting-room was swarmed with different fashion designers instead of doctors just as they had screamed emergency.Dario stepped out of his room rubbing his eyes still drowsy from sleep."I heard an emergency, what's so urgent by 6 am?" Dario asked.Dante shrugged. "Let's go find out."They headed to the sitting room and saw Lisa, Trish, and Natalie all seated and looking healthy while the fashion designers busied themselves with work."Hi, Lisa," Dario waved at her.She acknowledged with a nod."Long time no see, Lisa. You look big," Dante said as he stared at her protruding stomach."You think I look big?!" She asked in a high-pitched voi

"May the souls of the faithful departed, rest in perfect peace!"Natalie blinked back the unshed tears as she saw the empty coffin being lowered to the ground to be cemented.She hadn't been able to find a body to bury and no one had been in a sane position to gather her ashes. But at least now, she would finally get a headstone where they could come keep flowers daily.She couldn't believe Lexi was finally gone but seeing the priest reading a lot of things from his Bible, making prayers and offerings, and seeing the solemn faces of everyone, she was convinced that Lexi wasn't coming back.Dante squeezed her hands as she walked up to the graveside. She imagined Lexi walking up to her and smiling telling her she's done a great job at snagging the hottest bachelor in town.This caused a smile to blossom on her face. She may have lost Lexi but her memory still lived around her. She wiped off the stray tears that trickled down her cheeks and smiled as they

"Dante?"Her husband stared at her with a confused expression."Na—ruff!"The next thing that followed was utter chaos as she stood mortified.Natalie blinked. Maybe if she closed her eyes and opened it, the horrible scene would disappear but the shrill voices reminded her that it was real."He is crazy!” someone exclaimed."Call the asylum!" Another added.Natalie watched as her husband tore at people's trousers and skirts barking like a dog.Like an actual dog! A real dog!She looked around mortified as she tried to stop them from racing out of the house screaming their lungs out.

“Doctor, what is wrong with my husband?” Natalie stared at Dante as he lay down peacefully on the hospital bed, a small smile playing on his lips. She caressed his hair and kissed his cheeks softly. “He’ll be asleep for a while, Ma’am,” the doctor answered. “Did you find out what's wrong?” Natalie asked. The doctor nodded and she heaved a sigh of relief. She had worried that everything wouldn't go according to her plans and she would have to start afresh after ruining Dante’s image. “This is the document of Dante’s hospital reports,” the doctor said, handing her some papers. Natalie went through it and a smile formed on her lips. “Thank you so much, Doctor,” Natalie smiled. The doctor nodded, “You’re welcome, Ma’am. I wish you success.”Natalie nodded as the doctor left. A few minutes later Lee stepped into the hospital room, panting. “Reporters... Outside... Wolves!” he panted. Natalie shrugged, “Calm down, Lee. Did you get it?”Lee handed her a box and nodded, “Everything i

Natalie stared at Dante as she saw the speech he had written and she chuckled."What's funny?" Dante asked with a frown."You are writing a speech like you aren't a businessman again," she chortled.Dante's frown deepened. "What is wrong with that?"Natalie smiled. "I just don't think it would be necessary for that. You can do that without the speech."Dante furrowed his brows at her. "It's an impromptu speech, Natalie. I need to be prepared."Natalie noticed the way his muscles were tensed and she sighed. She knew he was nervous but she didn't know what was going on in his mind.She stood up and touched his biceps. He smiled at her touch and she smiled. "Why are you so tensed?" She asked.He shrugged. "What do you mean? I'm not tensed."Natalie smirked. "You are, Dante."Dante sighed and took a seat beside her on the bed. He massaged his throbbing temples and sighed again."Out with it!" Natalie exclaimed."I'm scared, Nat," he whispered.Natalie froze at the tone of his voice. Her p

She tried connecting the dots but at each point, she came up blank. Nothing made any sense whatsoever and Sophie had agreed to accompany Dante. It was only out of jealousy that she had decided to go with Dante. Could it be that this whole thing had been a trap to ruin her trust with Dante? What more can break a relationship except when they've lost trust in each other? First, she was made to lose faith in Dante by finding out about his affair with Sophie which wasn't so much of a big deal if she had just sat down to think about it. She massaged her temples as she felt the headache beginning to form. She needed to stay focused because that was what Sophie was trying to disrupt. For some reason, she knew that her coming here would do no good for either her or Dante. How could she have let this slip by so quickly? She picked up her pen and went to the board, there was a time when she had defeated Jared and Sophie, now was the same time to do just that. She examined the things that

Dante stepped out of the police van as he followed them to the cell where he would stay. "You will have to cool off here for the night, sir. Someone called us and suggested you spend the night here before you strangle your wife out of anger." Dante ignored the policeman as he thought about what Natalie had done. He knew he shouldn't be upset after what happened with Sophie but he was. In this frame of mind, he was willing to kill someone preferably Dario for touching her. And he has said he tasted his fucking wife! Those words alone had set his blood boiling with anger. He waited as the inspector opened the door and he entered his cell. His mind was reeling with lots of thoughts as he thought about what to do with Natalie. He didn't know if he should believe her when she said nothing happened. But the pictures... They were just too damn intimate for his liking and he wanted to strangle Dario for touching her the way only he could. How could she be so heartless and betray him li

He jerked away from her touch. "You've already embarrassed me before the media I don't care!""What nonsense are you talking about?" Dario asked."I'm talking about this!" Dante yelled shoving his phone in their face.Natalie gasped when she saw the pictures on his phone. It was when Dario had kissed her and when he had slipped her dress off her shoulder."Dante, this isn't what it looks like," she cried.He glared at her. "Yeah, then what does it look like?"Dario ran a hand through his hair. "Would you believe me if I say that I have no idea of how this came about?"Dante glared at him. "Try lying to someone else!""I swear Dante. The last thing I remembered was blacking out on the grass in the cliff before this whole kissing scenario after that blacking out everything is a blur," Dario stated."Are you trying to tell me that my wife is the one..."Dario interrupted him sharply. "Natalie would never do such a thing. I don't know what happened but it's not what you're thinking."Natal

His eyes narrowed into slits when he saw that she was still cuddled up with Dario while the media took pictures.How could she be asleep in this noisy environment?!Maybe because she had been so busy with something else, a malicious voice said in his mind.He noticed Natalie stirring and he glared at them trying to control his temper. "Get away from here!" He yelled at the media."She's waking and him too!"The media yelled ignoring him. He whirled around to see Natalie stretch and wake up before she froze at the flash of cameras.He saw the wild and confused look in her eyes and then she shook Dario awake. He saw how confused Dante looked and for some weird reason, he didn't believe a thing of what he had seen.Suddenly, the flashes of her naked body with Dario flashed in his mind and he gritted his teeth in anger."Mrs. Rodrio, are you trying to get back at your husband by cheating on him with his best friend?" One of the reporters asked.Natalie's eyes widened as he saw her grip Da

She froze. "Sorry for what, Dario?""Maybe if I hadn't encouraged you that day to go after him, If I had just slept with you that day then we would have ended up together," he murmured.Natalie frowned. "What are you talking about, Dario? Why are you bringing up the past?"He was looking at her but she was so sure he wasn't seeing her. She was sure he was in a reverie, probably transported back to ten years ago when she had gone to seduce him in his room."Dario?""If you had married me instead you won't be going through this pain. And I'm rich also just like Dante. Why did I ever push you away," he continued talking like he wasn't seeing her."Dario, what is wrong with you?" She asked sitting up.He ignored her and continued talking. "Perhaps, I can redeem that situation by making you mine. It's not too late."Her eyes widened. "The fuck are you talking about? It's fucking lat..."Her eyes were huge as she felt his soft lips on hers and his hands roaming around her body.She tried to

They stepped into the board meeting where the entire board of directors was waiting and the news playing on the television was the same news from earlier."Good day, Mr. and Mrs. Rodrigo," the assistant board chairman smiled at them.Natalie nodded as they hurriedly turned off the television.Quickly, they took their seats and she sat down beside her husband."The shares are falling drastically, Mr. Rodrigo!" one of the board members exclaimed."I think this video of you and your wife has gone viral!" Another added."Oh my gosh! This is a scandal associated with this company," someone chirped in."You need to address this matter as soon as possible, Mr. Rodrigo," someone added.Soon everyone was talking and he couldn't hear anyone again. He tried to calm them down but they were in full panic mode.Natalie wiggled out of his arms as she headed for the door."Where are you going, love?" He asked surprised.She shook her head. "I have to leave this place. I can't stay here any longer.""B
