121: RESCUE MISSION

Dante's POVThe tension in the car was unbearable, some smothering mix of rage and frustration that seared my chest. Anthony sat quietly in the back, head bowed, but submissiveness from him was a fib I wasn't buying. Alex sat beside me, his jaw clamped shut so tightly with every passing second, I half-expected any minute to hear the cracking sound of his teeth. I insisted on driving myself, I grasped the steering wheel far tighter than the drive required and felt that this should somehow squelch the brewing storm inside.The desperate tone of Camilla still echoed in my head. Probably he is innocent; probably he'd been set up. The words sounded like a dagger plunged into my back. She did not plead for her innocence but for him. The thought lit a new wave of fury inside me.“Eyes on the road, Boss," Alex said finally after what felt like an eternity; his tone was even, but his shoulders told a different story. "We are close to the safe house."I nodded curtly, the words catching in my t

122: CAMILLA'S REFUGE

Camilla's POV That cab ride felt like an eternity, the lights of the city smudging together, burning in my eyes. My body stayed closed, arms wrapped around my torso in the hope that it would hold the ache in my chest. Still couldn't put it together, Dante's anger, the poison in his voice when he ordered to kick me out of his mansion.He didn't just throw me out of his mansion, he threw me out of his life, Like I wasn't anything. "Miss, are you all right?" the driver asked me, looking up into his rearview mirror at me.I quickly wiped my eyes and nodded. "Just drive," I muttered.Even a lifetime resident couldn't make anything out of the streets outside except faintly. My father's apartment was looming ahead, tucked away in an undistinguished neighborhood. Then the cab drew up in front, and I felt a little spark of relief. I paid in cash, stepped out, and clutched my bag tightly. The cool night air slapped my face, cooling and nipping all over. My father's apartment was on the thir

123: FABRICATED ALLY

Dante's POVHeavy oak doors creaked open, and Luca stepped into the grand entry of the mansion. His presence is still commanding, even after months away. There was barely a trace in the limp in his stride anymore, the only outward trace to the long recovery. He paused to look around him, sharp eyes taking everything in, every shift in the air that might have passed anybody's notice."Dante," he greeted, his voice sure as I remembered. "Dad," I said, forcing a smile and going to him. Clasping his hand firmly before pulling him into a brief embrace. "You're back sooner than expected." "And you look like you have seen better days," he said with an arched brow, stepping back to survey me. "Something wrong?"Just the usual business headaches." I shrugged lightly. "How was your trip?”"Long," he said, passing his coat to a waiting butler. "But it's been productive. Sea air does wonders for the old wounds, you know.”I nodded, ushering him into the sitting room. The last thing I needed was

124: PUZZLE PIECES

Dante's P.O.V.The soft glow of the lamp cast long shadows across my study as Alex paced in front of my desk, his movements restive and agitated. Between us were heaped a few sets of documents and files-evidence of years of either loyalty or treachery, depending on how one chose to look at it."This doesn't make sense," Alex growled, rubbing the back of his neck. "The attacks, Jasper's kidnapping, your wife…it all feels too perfectly timed.I leaned back in my chair, eyes fixed on the files but not really seeing them. My thoughts were elsewhere, locked in an endless cycle of memories, doubts, and betrayal."Anthony's been with us for years," I finally said, low and even, firm. "If he is a spy, why now? Why wait this long to make a move?"Alex stopped pacing and turned back to me, his expression grim. "That's why it's working: because no one suspects the man who's been loyal for a decade. He's earned our trust."I drummed my fingers on the desk as frustration mounted. "Trust doesn't ju

125: SHADOWS IN THE DARK

Camilla's POVThe knock came on the door, sharp and unexpected. It was already far into the night, and Father had gone to sleep. I lay on my bed frozen, knowing full well what to do. It was almost midnight, and who could it be at this hour?Slowly and cautiously, I approached the door. A figure slouching against the door frame, tattered in his clothes, bruises over his face, as I looked through the peephole, my heart thumping against my chest started working at an uncontrollable rhythm. "Anthony?" I mumbled, absolutely startled. I reached for the door; I was shaking badly while opening it. At first, he could just manage to stay on his feet while swinging it open."Camilla, he said hoarsely; his voice was in shreds.I did not think but reached out and yanked him inside. "Anthony, what's going on? Are you…”"I'll explain, " he said incoherently, cutting in, and swaying, I guided him onto the couch. He was a heavy weight against me; I could see the fresh cut on his forehead, and bloodsta

126: APOLOGY GESTURE

Dante's POVIt weighed hard within me as I sat at my desk. All the files facing me became jumbled incomprehensibly, just like all those thoughts that literally tied my mind in a knotty situation. The one thing, if it would hold as anything, was inexcusable: sending Camilla out of my life without as much as having a chance to explain. I had allowed my anger, jealousy, and all the lies around us to blind me.I replayed these nights in my mind with Camilla: the rightness of her touch, surety in my world. Then I'd taken a leap and thrown it all away over one man's manipulation: Anthony.I fisted my hands, remembering how for so many years I'd trusted him, leaned on him, called him family. And yet, here I was, questioning it all. All suspicion pointed at him; the possibility that he was the one who had been betraying us both all these years was too much to handle. She must have trusted him too, as her bodyguard, the one she thought would protect her. I failed her.The door creaked open, an

127: HURTFUL DEFENSE

DANTE'S POVThe tension in that room was enough to choke me. My gaze locked on Anthony, who stood shirtless as if it was his place, with Camilla by his side. The flowers I had brought were cast on the floor, an almost pathetic reminder of how things were supposed to have gone."Camilla," I said, my tone quiet and precarious.She spat, her gaze dancing between Anthony and me. "Dante, you just have to calm down and listen""Listen?" I growled, silencing her. "Listen to why the man I trusted, we trusted, is standing here in your father's house, looking like he's just rolled out of bed?""It's not what it looks like!" she exclaimed, taking a step closer."What the hell is it then, Camilla? Because it sure as hell looks like betrayal."Anthony threw his hands up in the air, face serene. "Boss, listen-""Don't call me that," I snarled, pointing a finger at him. "You lost that right the minute you pulled the knife to stab me in the back, and crossed the line with my wife.”His jaw tightened,

128: CLOSE ENEMY

ELLA'S POV.The light inside that secret café was low, lengthening shadows across the room. In the pit of my stomach, my irritation simmered while my manicured fingers drummed along the wood of the table, but my face didn't reveal anything at all. Anthony slid into the chair opposite me, a look of smugness plastered onto his features. Overconfidence was really an attribute that annoyed me, and again I remained mute."What's going on?" I said, my voice cut.Anthony laughed, oblivious to the irritation in me. "Relax, Ella. All is just going according to plan.""Really?" I snapped, leaning further forward. "Because where I am sitting, Camilla is very much in the picture and Dante's attachment to her is stronger than ever. You said you'd handle her."He smiled wryly, playing with his catch. "And I am. Already, Dante thinks I am a spy. He is half-convinced that it was me who kidnapped Jasper. All I have to do is to keep up this act of playing victim to cause dispute between him and Camilla

129: FAMILY RAGE

DANTE'S POV.The crunch of gravel beneath the tires as we pulled up to my family house was as recognizable as the weight on my chest. Alex parked, his jaw clamping shut with all the same firmness as mine. Neither one of us said a word; the silence stretched between us, as heavy as lead."This has to go right," Alex finally growled, breaking into the oppressive silence."It will," I said; the words seemed to feel like a lie as they left my lips. Of course, it wasn't going to go over well trying to convince my father, Luca, that Anthony had betrayed us-he trusts Anthony almost as much as he trusts me, maybe more at times.We stepped into this big estate, and in came the smell of wood and leather flinging my mind to my childhood days. Maids running past them with eyes on the ground gave greetings with no courtesy stops, but I seemed to dive into some kind of time warp-damn well, it was just about not allowing myself to become free from the gloom looming all over now.Lucа wаs аlreаdy in

130: VULNERABLE PENETRATION

DANTE'S POVThe lighting in the bar was only dim, and the lights were low to match my churning stomach. My phone lay on the counter next to an untouched shot of whiskey; its screen was flashing-obviously a reminder. I did not need to glance at it to know what it was.Tomorrow was Jasper's second-year birthday. More than two months gone, with only silence to fill the chasm of his disappearance. Not one hint, not one whisper to indicate whether he was alive or dead.I reached for the shot and downed it in one violent gulp. The fire in my throat was a sad substitute for the fire that had been eating a hole in my chest.The bartender hovered close. "Another?"Yeah," I growled, pushing the empty glass over to him.The bar swam while I was waiting. Camilla's face floated into focus within the window of my mind, and the crying excuses for Anthony spiraled into a mantra echoing. They were starting to feel like dousing a low fire. I smacked my fist on the bar."Take it easy," the bartender s
