Anger was rolling off her like angry waves as she drove her car out of the prison straight to the hospital. For once in his entire life, she had thought that Xavier would tell the truth without any strings attached.
But turns out she was wrong.
Everyone wants something in return and she didn't have that to give. Her dad had already made it clear he wasn't dropping the charges against him and with Jared out of the way, it's only a couple of weeks before he gets a court date.
That's probably why Dante was fighting tooth and nail to get him out of jail.
Natalie sighed as she pulled out of the parking lot and headed for the hospital. She hadn't made single progress with Xavier what were the odds she would make one with Jared.
Her mind reeled with angry thoughts as she thought of how Xavier had wasted her time and still didn't tell her anything even though it was evident that he knew a lot.
She pulled up at the hospital and stepped out. Jared jus
Natalie giggled in her sleep as she felt warm lips on her skin. Smiling, her eyes fluttered open and she saw Dante staring at her like she was the only person in the world."Good morning, Princess," he said softly kissing her lips."Good morning, honey. It's been a while since you woke up in a good mood," Natalie replied.He nodded. "Fair enough."She moaned softly when his lips grazed her neck."Aren't you busy today?" She asked.He flicked his finger on her nipples that were perking up against the silk nightdress she was wearing."I don't know my love. I wanna spend the day with you," he replied.Natalie smiled. "With Noah and Chloe too.""No kids, this outing is rated PG twenty-one," he stated.Natalie chuckled. "So, you just wanna spend your day with me and no kids involved?""Yeah," he nodded.
"He said I should come alone!"Trish sighed as Natalie stepped out of the car an exasperated look on her face."But..." Trish started to object again."No, I'm doing this alone. Go wait in the car and I'll be right back," Natalie replied.She smoothed her black lace top and her skinny red jeans. She had decided to go with trousers in case Jared tried something funny.In her pocket was a recorder and her favorite pocket knife, she wouldn't mind slicing off his dick if he attempted to touch her."Take care, Nat," Trish waved as she left.She waved back and hurriedly walked down the road looking for the address she was given. She arrived at a house on the outskirts of the town and sighed.She could only hope she wasn't making a mistake, she thought as she descended the stairs but stopped so quickly her heart banging loudly when she saw Sean.
"Bullshit!""This ain't bullshit, Dante. This is reality," Sophie replied chuckling.Dante was on the verge of tearing down the walls of the police station and dragging his brother off. He still couldn't understand or believe what it was Sophie wanted with Xavier."I'm sorry, Dante but that's the truth," the inspector sighed heavily."You promised me that if I get a clearance from the doctor, Xavier won't be charged to court," Dante said through gritted teeth."That was before Ms. Bennet filed a case against him and Mr. Durango refused to cancel the charges against him," the inspector explained.Sophie grinned before whispering In his ears."You and I know that the clearance you got is shit. If you don't want trouble don't think about presenting that before the court else you'll land your pretty self in jail leaving your beloved all alone."Dante watched with
Natalie stepped into the house and collapsed on her bed. She had a splitting headache from spending all day with four kids and her back ached.She was not in the mood for the drama that was why she hadn't expected to see Sophie waiting for her in her fucking room!"What are you doing here?" She yelled.Sophie waved her off. "Relax. I'm here to see Dante."She arched a brow at her. "You want to see Dante in my bedroom?""Yeah," Sophie replied winking at her.That was all it took for her to snap. She's had a very rough and unfulfilled day thinking of Jared's crazy words, why Sean met with Ricco, and what he sneaked out of the house and the kids came into the picture.Oh, and there's also a weird feeling she had since morning and now this!Her hands flew before her brain could think and before she knew it, she was in a wrestling contest with Sophie and
Six Years Ago.Dante shut the door to his grandfather's study in anger as he headed to the roof. Tears were stinging in his eyes and all he wanted was to scream and let out some of the pain and anger he felt in his heart."You are not allowed to leave this compound!" His grandfather hollered after him.He found solace by looking up at the stars but tonight was different. Tonight, he felt as though his heart wasn't in the right place.His heart had been stolen by a certain girl with beautiful brown eyes. He had asked for permission to go back to her small town that night so he could take her to the movies but Alaric refused.Damn the man!He saw an approaching car and frowned. This car was familiar and so was the driver of the car. What did Natalie's father want here that he arrived here and how did he know Alaric?Dante crept down from the roof and went to his grand
Sean smiled happily as he drove into his compound. He couldn't care less if Lisa still wanted to divorce him all he cared about was that by this time tomorrow, he will be getting an appointment in the White House.He would bring his enemies to their knees and he would have the power he's always wanted. Now, the deal was done and he just had to relax.Humming quietly, he walked into his house and greeted the kids happy. They were still awake and watching cartoons.He headed to his wife's room and saw her fast asleep at least she was but now she was staring at him with sleepy eyes."What do you want, Sean? I need to sleep I had a long day," Lisa sighed."Are you still divorcing me?" He asked suddenly.Lisa groaned muttering profanities under her breath before going back to sleep. He chuckled and left her room heading to his own where he saw Natalie waiting for him."H
Natalie drove directly to the front of Jared's underground house and parked her car. She stepped out and headed towards the staircase her heart pounding in her chest."Pleasure to see you've returned so soon, Natalie," he smirked.She frowned when she saw him standing at the edge of the stairs."Going somewhere?" She asked.He shrugged. "A guy's gotta get some pussy and I wanna get one now unless you're willing to volunteer yours."A cold shudder ran down her shoulder and she smiled."Go ahead, I'm here to see Sophie.""Sure. Have fun and be sure to wait up for me I've got something to tell you," he replied walking away.She breathed a sigh of relief and entered the apartment. She was fully aware that Sophie might kill her in this house and no one will know but she had to take the risk.Xavier's court hearing has been pushed to one week from n
Ten minutes later and Natalie was seating at a breakfast table looking shocked and Lisa's face mirroring the same expression she had.The only person whose face was intrigued was the new person she had seen standing on the stairs behind Lisa.Mr. Jeffrey Murdoch.Popularly known as Jeff or rather called Jeff by Lisa, his loving lover.Yeah, she's shocked too to find out that Lisa is having an affair with another man that wasn't Sean. Could this be the end of her fears? Natalie wondered."Just a sec, honey. Breakfast is almost ready," his raspy voice echoed from the kitchen."He must be a good cook," Natalie commented."Why did you follow me, Nat?" She hissed under her breath."We thought you were hiding something," Natalie shrugged."Well, I am," Lisa snapped."It was not what I was expecting Lisa," Natalie sighed.
"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
