"Natalie!"

Natalie chuckled as Chloe ran into the sitting room and straight into her arms.

"I missed you, Nat."

"I missed you more, baby," Natalie replied caressing her hair.

"Is Daddy home yet? He promised we're all going to the beach this evening with Noah."

Well, nothing ever escaped her tiny head, Natalie mused quietly.

"Nope, he's not here but guess what I'm here and I'm gonna take you."

"Oh, you." Chloe gave Sophie a sideways glance and marched up the stairs.

"I'm hungry, Nat, and call my dad," she called after he

    "Who the fuck was that?!"Natalie stood up from the floor with the kids huddled around her. They were all panting and frightened by what they had just witnessed.She saw Dante running out of his car and engulfing Chloe—wait he was pulling her and the kids in for a hug."Lee, are you alright?" She asked frightened pulling away from Dante and rushing to the old man that was crumpled on the floor, blood trickling down his left leg."It's nothing, dear. Just a scratch," Lee groaned."This is your fault, Natalie."Goosebumps crawled up her skin at the sound of the dreaded voice that always sounded like death. She turned around and sta

    Natalie's eyes flew open as she surveyed her surrounding. She had to pretend to be drunk so Dante wouldn't pay much attention to her.Grabbing her jacket from the wall hanger, she grabbed her shoes and her favorite weapon—a frying pan—she had sneaked into her room earlier on from the kitchen.Tip-toeing out of her room, boots in hands she got to the sitting room. Everywhere was pitch dark and there wasn't a single sound heard from the house.Cautiously, she walked towards the garden using the brightly light sky filled with stars as her guidance till she heard a voice behind her."Leo, Is not gonna be happy about this."For a split second, Natalie, the girl who has survived being murdered years ago froze. At that moment, she believed in a haunted house but that was only for an instant.The next second, she whirled around and glared at the intruder."Why are you follo

We've got to save him.""You go ahead, I can't do that.""Unfortunately, you're the only person I trust to do this job.""No, I will distract them so hurry and save them.""Where's the girl?""Don't let them see you so you wouldn't get into trouble, the girl is strong she's a good fighter.""The house is about to blow!""Hurry! I'll keep watch.""No, get out of here, Leo!"There was a deafening sound of an explosion as the entire house was brought down to ashes.~~~~*Leo jerked up in bed panting. His entire bedspread was soaked with sweat and his breathing was heavy. This nightmare had plagued him for as long as he could remember.He has tried his best to escape and protec

    "What were you thinking?!"Natalie frowned as she was rushed after a fuming Dante, Chloe hot on her heels."Dante, hold on it was just a joke?"He spun around so quickly she almost bumped into him."A joke? You call lying a joke."The look on his face forced tears to fill her eyes. He stared at her with the same look her father gives her each time he was summoned to her school."It wasn't Natalie's fault," Chloe said in a tiny voice.She swiped furiously at her tears-filled eyes. Chloe held onto her hands and continued."Daddy, I don't mean to get into trouble but most times I'm the victim here and I didn't want to drag you here because I don't like the way you stare at me."Dante furrowed his brows at her, surprise evident in his steel-blue eyes."How do I stare at you, Chloe?" He queried.Chloe sh

    Natalie's heart was beating rapidly as she stepped out of the car. She was in an unfamiliar venue and she just wanted to see her brother before leaving.She raced towards the other end of the sidewalk and stopped in front of a restaurant. She didn't need any other command as she gently entered the restaurant.It had expensive decor, and it was filled with wealthy people. She didn't bother paying attention to the restaurant or the people rather she scanned the place her eyes looking for one person.Noah.She saw him sitting at the table at the other end of the restaurant. Her legs took her straight there."Natalie!" He exclaimed jumping down from his seat and pulling her in for a hug.She was relieved that her brother was alright now she just had to know why Jared had taken him in the first place."Jared." She gave him a tight-lipped smile.He chuckl

    "Oh, Alpha male can't take his eyes off you."Natalie chuckled waddling in the water as her friend ranted off a list of things she was sure Dante is going through."I'm just here to have fun, Lexi," she chuckled, "I'm not interested if he comes to join us or not.""Well then you wouldn't mind if I take your spot," Lexi said wiggling her brow.Natalie chuckled again. She wanted to have fun and not care that there was a sociopath out there who wanted to kill her, someone Jared had blatantly refused to reveal to her.He had only warned her to be careful and he left. Such an odd behavior from him considering he loved spending time with her in a perverted way."Do what you want, Lexi but I didn't come here to tease Dante," she shrugged as she went underwater and came up splashing Lexi."Oh, I'm so gonna get you!" Lexi growled playfully scooping a handful of water and com

    Guilt.That was exactly how he felt as he watched them rush her off to the emergency ward. He had been struggling with a boner while she had fallen to her death."Dante, it's not your fault besides she's going to be alright."He nodded holding back the tears that were threatening to spill. Natalie held his eyes for a moment and her gaze weakened him.He looked away. He shouldn't have let her come with him but he couldn't afford to leave her alone in that house where Sophie had fallen—or she was pushed. He couldn't tell.He could only tell that her phone hadn't been broken and she was supposed to be holding the phone when she fell, right?He massaged his throbbing temples and glanced at his daughter sleeping soundly in Natalie's arms. He needed to get them home safely but he also needed to stay here with Sophie."Yo, Dante."He looked up and saw Xavi

    Dante was on the verge of going crazy as he dialed his grandfather's number. The first time Alaric decided not to pick up his calls was when Dante needed him most."Daddy, where are they taking Natalie to?"He had been asked this question for the tenth time tonight and he didn't have a clue as to what was happening."I don't know honey, but I'll bring her back," he replied.Chloe was already in tears and he was having a hard time pacifying her. What he couldn't understand was why Lee hadn't come out when all this fiasco was going on.He headed to the butler's room and found him handcuffed to his bedpost. His mouth was gagged and his ankles were tied securely too.Gently, he untied the old man and helped him out of the handcuffs—the keys were left on his nightstand."Dante, you guys are safe," he heaved a sigh of relief."It's alright, Lee.

    "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
