All Chapters of Dangerously Tempted: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

His Mama hugged them close, unable to control the tears from streaming down her cheeks. “I’m so happy to be here on your special day!” “I’m so thankful you could make it, Mama! Our marriage would be incomplete without your blessings,” said Matteo, wiping her eyes. “I still will miss your wedding lunch, bro!” said Marcello, wrapping his brother in a warm embrace.“I’ll treat you someday.” They walked over to the altar while Marco spoke to the police officers regarding the case. Viola admired her wedding dress. “It's so pretty. Where did you buy it from?” “I didn’t. An officer got it for me.” “I wish they had informed us earlier. We could have helped you get ready!” said Viola. “Matteo helped me actually,” she admitted shyly. “Aww! That’s so cute!” “Yes, I’m happy that you’re with Matteo, Emilia. You give him the zeal to fight against these criminals. I pray to God every day, that you succeed in your mission soon.” “Thank you, Mama. I hope it happens soon.” “It will. Have fa

Three Years LaterMatteo entered his shop and smiled at his team. They had stuck with him through thick and thin, and battled all hardships. Even when he had returned to New York under the protection of the US Marshals Service, they were there by his side. He had expected them to close the shop down but later found out that they were all working inside every day, relentlessly for him. They were operating discreetly, taking orders from known sources only. It earned them enough to run the shop smoothly without giving them away. Matteo was indebted to them for upholding his dream. “Last night the FBI and the DIA had raided the Cartello della Vendetta's secret hideout and arrested every member of their gang, including Costello,” said Matteo with relief. It was a top-secret mission, and Matteo just heard about its success from Derek Walsh. In the last three years, Derek, Tim, and Stanley had become their pillar of support, protecting them effectively against every threat. It was because

For the rest of the drive, Matteo sat in a dazed state. He was sure he had seen Di Salvo in the car. Was he tailing him? If he was alive, why wasn’t he taking his revenge on Luigi and killing him already? “Tired or worried?” asked Freddie, noticing his silence. “Both,” said Matteo without elaborating further. They reached, and Matteo went to his apartment while Freddie went to the shop. Matteo rang the doorbell absent-mindedly, wondering why Di Salvo was following him around. What could he want from him? Marcello opened the door with a wide grin on his face. “Emilia, come quick,” he yelled at the sight of his older brother. It brought Matteo out of his daze, and he gave Marcello a quizzical look. “What’s up now?” he asked as he entered his home. He saw the wide grin on his Mama’s face too. “Guess what?” asked Marcello, wiggling his eyebrows excitedly. Amelia came out of her bedroom and smiled at him. Matteo understood from everyone’s reaction that she might be pregnant. Yet he

It was the most devastating news Matteo had ever heard, but the need to revive Amelia was upmost on his mind. “We have to revive her. She’s pregnant!” he said, patting her cheek to help her gain consciousness. Megan gasped and got up to get some water. She returned in a few minutes and sprinkled water on Amelia’s face. “Emilia! Please open your eyes,” begged Matteo, looking lost. “I’m sorry, Matteo. I shouldn’t have told her the devastating news so bluntly. I didn’t know her condition was so delicate.” Matteo sprinkled some more water and patted her cheeks. “It wasn’t your fault. You don’t know what she went through for the last three years. It was more than anyone could handle,” said Matteo with a sigh. Amelia blinked when Matteo sprinkled more water on her face. She sputtered and opened her eyes wide, looking at them in a dazed state. “Matteo, what happened to me?” she whispered hoarsely. “Nothing, Tesoro. You just lost your consciousness. I’m sure you’ll be fine if you reste

Lost in his thoughts Matteo walked down the street, unaware that he had left the residential neighborhood far behind him. Amelia’s accusations disturbed him to the brink of losing his mind. He cared little about himself, having always lived dangerously. It was the thought he failed her which gripped his heart. A car screeched to a halt beside him, bringing him out of his reverie. He instantly stopped in his tracks to look and froze immediately upon seeing two men emerge from the car. Were they here to get him? He couldn’t take the risk of being captured! Matteo ran into the shopping mall he had just crossed. He could hear the footsteps of the men chasing him. So he was right. They were here to grab him! But who were they? With Costello’s men and the NSM arrested, who would want to capture him now? He entered the mall and hid behind a wall. As he looked outside, he gasped with shock at seeing Luigi standing at the entrance with the men. So Luigi was alive! He had produced fake evide
