“Alright,” Dante seems pleased with how our signing went. But honestly, he would have gotten the same results one way or another because as things are, I’m completely his to do as he wants. This signing is a mere formality and a chance to explain his plan to me. At the very least, I feel grateful for that. Dante fishes for a black fountain pen from somewhere on his body. It looks fancy, with its gold linings and intricate design. It must cost a lot too. I assume it’s a gift or an heirloom. Using his fancy pen, he signs his name at the bottom of the page. “Who else knows?” I ask when he has handed the document to Luca, who puts it away together with

“Good girl.” Dante’s words haven’t left my mind since he has spoken them. What the hell was that? And why am I blushing over it? I shake my head violently to get rid of the thought as I walk down the long hall back to my room. I haven’t been here long but after being in Dante’s cold office for that long, I miss the little comfort my room has provided. As I round the corner, I spot Hana and another woman waiting at the top of the stairs to the second floor. I smile at Hana, seeing a familiar face can indeed make someone feel better. After the talk with Dante and Luca, I’m spent. “Hana,” I call out, and she brightens up when she sees me. “What are you doing here?”

“It seems the meeting has fried your brain if you managed to sleep the day away.” Someone’s deep voice wakes me from my slumber. Wait, something isn’t right. I sit up with a start, suddenly feeling nauseous with the sudden movement. It takes my eyes a few breathes to adjust, but sure enough, Dante is in my room, arms crossed, lazily leaning against the table directly opposite my bed. He’s starting right at me with those intense eyes, making me self-conscious. Was he watching me sleep? “Pervert,” I mutter, earning myself a raised eyebrow from him. “How long have you been standing there?” I clutch the blanket closer to my chest thankful that this time I’

“Wait, what are you doing in here? Get out!” I all but throw my shoe in Dante’s direction to get him to leave. Holding the gown tightly to my body, I try very hard not to let the halter slip from my fingers. I was trying to fasten the halter around my neck when Dante suddenly poked his head in the walk-in closet. He seems unfazed and crosses the small space between us. “This is my closet too,” He says matter-of-factly. As Dante moves towards where his shoes are, I use to opportunity to hurry outside the dressing room and into the bedroom. Why is he even here? I remember staying up late a few nights ago, waiting for him to return and discuss our sleeping arrangements. Yes, I have been worried about sleeping in the same bed as him, but we never really got to talk about it because he never comes into this room. Each night, I’d stay

The first moment I looked at him, I knew Ricci was a sleazebag. From the dilated pupils, down to the too-tight pants, he’s wearing. My best guess is that whatever drugs he’s on, it leaves him in a constant state of ‘horny.’ “It’s a pleasure to finally meet the new Mrs. D’Angelo.” He says reaching for my hand. A quick glance at Dante tells me that this man means business but he’s not in the least bit thrilled that Ricci is here. I extend my hand to his expecting a handshake, but I couldn’t fight the sharp inhale when he plants his wet lips on the back of my hand. I endure the shiver that runs down my spine and I have to fight not to yank my hand back immediately. “It’s a pleasure to meet you too,” I reply meekly, not wanting to sound rude, but neither wanting to encoura

Luca escorts me out of the office and towards the ballroom leaving Dante behind after Ricci decides he did have a serious matter to discuss. I stand behind a curtain shielding the guests from view. The bustling, chattering and delightful music are lively, a complete opposite of what I’m feeling. I’m seething. Still reeling in my anger, I pace the small space provided to wait before our entrance, anything to keep my hands busy and not tear away at the embellishments of my dress. “The was one of Dante’s biggest doubters.” “Huh?” I’m not sure what Luca’s talking about right now, and honestly, I don’t think I can process anything over the anger and embarrass

“It’s yours. From now on, whatever you want, whatever you wish for, it shall be yours.” The events of last night’s party are a blur. When I woke up this morning, my head is still reeling around the fact that I’m now a gallery owner. Since I graduated with my fine arts degree and have worked for great artists and museums, I dreamed of displaying my work at my own gallery. I’ve never voiced that dream to anyone in my life because I knew that once my father retired, he would hand over the Atwood tobacco business. A business I never supported but was willing to accept anyway. It’s the business that put the Atwood name on the map, and my father was stern that the eldest would inherit and continue

“I can go by myself, you don’t have to come with me.” “But Miss, my orders never permit you to leave my sight.” Dear Lord, Adeline is such a sweetheart. Under the formal suit and tie hides a baby-faced woman, with an innocent heart, but there’s just no way I could let her go with me. “Adeline, I’m just going to try on underwear in the dressing room,” I reply, trying my best to be patient with her, despite her being unreasonable. “I highly doubt anyone would attempt an attack. If anything happens, I promise I’ll scream for you.” I add and shut the dressing room door, le

The events after that are a blur. I vaguely remember being carried to the infirmary, panting and sweating from the pain. I’m pretty sure it was Dante who met us at the door, barking orders with the doctor shuffling behind him, but after I was given the anesthesia I was out. When I woke up, I felt groggy and disoriented. The infirmary’s white light was too harsh and too bright too soon. I moan as my eyes adjust to the light. “How long was I out?” I ask nobody in particular, but I feel that I’m not alone in the room. I’m not surprised when I hear Hana’s voice reply, “Just an hour. The doctor is very skilled, she had you patched up in minutes.”

I turn around, swallowing down a moan of pain. I twisted around too fast and pulled at my wound. I bite my lip to redirect my attention to the new pain instead and started to count in my head. 1…2…3… The pain passes as I realize my time is up. The anesthetics given to me are starting to wear off. Adeline hasn’t uttered a word to defend herself, even though Dante is accusing her of betraying him. “Then investigate the matter closely,” I say in a challenge, facing Dante again. “Who’s to say she’s a plant or not? Maybe you have a rat in your walls.”
