Chapter 11

:NeW home After a few hours, it was finally time to leave. I could barely stand on my feet—these high heels were killing me, and the corset made it nearly impossible to breathe properly. Before leaving, I said goodbye to everyone. Dante had left before me, so Margaret accompanied me to the exit. When we reached the car, Dante wasn't there. I hoped we would leave in separate cars. "Well, my beautiful girl, the evening went wonderfully, don't you think?" Margaret said with a warm smile. I forced a small smile in return. "It did, thanks to you." "Oh, nonsense! I had nothing to do with it. It was you who made this place shine." I couldn't understand how someone as angelic as her had given birth to such a monster. "Thank you for everything," I said sincerely. "There's no need to thank me, dear, but if you really want to show your gratitude, you can give me a grandchild." Her words froze me in place. I didn't know how to react or what to say. A grandchild? Me? With that monster?

Chapter 12

:Disgust and Doubts I stood in my office, staring out the window at the city lights flickering in the darkness, rolling a glass of whiskey in my hand. "Dante." I took a deep breath and downed a sip of my whiskey. The negotiations with the Santoros had dragged on for too long. That old figlio di puttana was playing games with me, but I think it's time to teach him a lesson—to make him understand that playing with me is not an option. Setting the glass down on my desk, I reached for my phone, but before I could make the call, my office door swung open, and Enzo walked in, flashing his usual idiotic grin. "How's our newlywed groom?" I shot him a deadly look and dialed Marco's number. "Come on, fratello, why are you ignoring me? I came here to congratulate you, and this is how you treat me? That hurts." "Shut up and mind your own business." I cut him off before he could continue. "Boss, I'm listening." "I want you to handle the Santoro situation." "Understood, boss." "Let me k

Chapter 13

:Confession After my conversation with Dante, or rather, after almost having a heart attack from fear because of him and agreeing that I wouldn't sleep with any man in a room again, I locked myself in my room. I cried so much that now my eyes were swollen and red. Why does he keep repeating the same thing? Why does he accuse me of being a slut? What the hell is wrong with him?A call came through on my phone. I wiped my face a few times and answered."Evelyn Adams, I swear to God, I'll kill you with my own hands, slowly and painfully, if you disappear for another three days without answering my messages or calls." Amelia's screaming voice echoed through the room."I'm sorry, I'll explain everything tomorrow. Just don't get mad at me now," she said.Amelia was silent for a moment."Did you cry?"Damn, I can't hide anything from them."No," I lied."Don't lie to me. I know you were crying. Your voice changes when you cry. Explain to me what happened or wait, I'll call Noah, and we'll c

Chapter 14

:Devil's Wife"What?!" Amelia shouted so loudly that everyone in the café turned to look at us."You promised you'd listen to me," I said, my voice pleading."Amelia, have you lost your mind? What the hell are you saying?" Lily stared at me in shock, while Noah remained silent, his face unreadable."Let's go to our usual spot, and I'll explain everything. I promise."Once we arrived and sat down, Jenny came over. We only ordered coffee. The entire time, the three of them remained silent, watching me with concerned expressions. When Jenny brought our order and walked away, I finally spoke."Ten days ago, my father told me I had to get married. I refused. Then he said that if I didn't do what he wanted, he'd make sure your parents lost their jobs, leaving them on the streets with no hope of recovery."I paused, taking a deep breath before continuing."I know you're probably blaming yourselves right now, but don't. Not even for a second. This is not your fault. It's my father's greed, hi

Chapter 15

:Attraction I was pacing back and forth in the room, trying to figure out how to tell Dante that I wanted to continue going to university. My body trembled from fear and nervousness, and I couldn't relax. I glanced at the clock, and it was almost eleven. I wondered if he was home. I went downstairs, but he wasn't in the living room, so I headed to the kitchen to ask Nana."Nana?"Nana jumped and placed her hand over her heart."Sorry, did I scare you?"She started laughing."I almost ran away, but it's fine. Did you need something?"I gave a faint smile and asked Nana,"Do you know if Dante is home?"She looked surprised at my question, but she didn't show it and smiled back."He probably just came back. He's probably in his room.""I see, thanks."Damn, I had no other choice. He always comes home late, and I couldn't wait any longer. I had already fallen behind with my studies, plus I missed spending time with the kids. What was he going to do? Yell at me? Or worse, hit me? I didn'

Chapter 16

:The truth shrouded in mist :DanteThe whole night was restless. When I glanced at the clock, it was six in the morning. I got out of bed, put on my pants, and headed to the kitchen. After making coffee, I sat down in the living room.What the hell was wrong with me last night?At first, I was just curious to see how she'd react or if she'd keep up her innocent act. But then... what was I even thinking? Did I really intend to kiss that woman? Absolutely not. The mere thought of her—of how easily she'd sleep with anyone—makes me sick. And yet, she still insists on playing the innocent one with me. She does it so well that last night, I almost believed her.She's infuriating.Her very presence in my house irritates me.I picked up my tablet and started reviewing the new deals Marco had sent over. After a long sip of coffee, I noted, Looks like the Romanovs are taking the easy route.Good—dealing with the Russians would have been a headache, but if they accept my terms, it makes things

Chapter 17

:A new beginning Diego dropped me off in front of the café. The others were already inside, and the moment they saw me, they jumped up and rushed to hug me."Finally, you're back!" Amelie squealed, practically bouncing with excitement."Yes, and I couldn't be happier! I can finally go to university with you guys. You have no idea how much this means to me!" I grinned.Lily glanced at Diego with a skeptical expression. "Is this guy going to be driving you around every day?"I couldn't help but laugh at the way she was eyeing him, as if she were inspecting a criminal."Yes, and stop looking at him like that. I know he might seem intimidating, but he's actually quite polite and calm.""Yeah, sure," Noah smirked. "With that kind of expression, I bet he's taken down at least ten people without breaking a sweat.""Well, one thing's for sure—he's sexy," Amelie chimed in.Noah shot her a deadly glare. "Not as sexy as you, sweetheart. Now relax.""Bad boys really are attractive, though," Lily

Chapter 18

:A peaceful dayThe lecture had already started when our new professor walked in."Good morning," he greeted us with a warm smile, but then, suddenly, his gaze locked onto me.What the hell? Why is he staring at me like that? Do I have something on my face?He quickly cleared his throat and looked away."Alright, let's begin today's lesson."He was surprisingly good at explaining things, and he seemed friendly, too. When the lecture ended, I stood up, grabbed my bag, and was about to leave when I heard my name."Miss Adams."I turned around. "Yes, Mr. Davis?""I heard from your friends that you were unwell. I'm glad to see you're feeling better now."I gave him a small smile. "Thank you.""You've probably fallen behind on the material. It would be a shame for a student as bright as you to struggle because of a few missed classes. I can help if you need any assistance.""Thanks, but I've already asked my friends for their notes. If I don't understand something, I'll ask them. But I app

Chapter 19

:The Devil's Friend Enzo, Dante's only friend besides Nana, stood next to her wearing a pink floral apron. I couldn't help but wonder how he and Dante were even friends—he didn't seem nearly as scary as Dante."Hello again, Shorty," Enzo smiled at me while continuing to flip pancakes."Shorty?" I raised an eyebrow and crossed my arms."Oh, come on, don't be mad. It suits you perfectly.""Because I'm short?""Exactly, but in an adorable way. It's nothing to be self-conscious about, in my opinion—it makes you even cuter."Well, considering everyone here—except Nana—was at least two heads taller than me, I guess I did seem short to them."I'm not self-conscious," I replied."Then can I keep calling you Shorty?""Do whatever you want.""Haha, I knew we'd get along! Now, come here and try my masterpiece."Nana smacked Enzo on the head, making me cover my mouth in surprise."Ouch! What was that for?""For taking credit for other people's work. The only thing you're good at is getting on my

Chapter 20

:The Devil's Thoughts :DanteI was sitting at my desk, twirling a pen between my fingers, when the office door opened, and Rosa walked in."What do you want?""Why so rude? I came to cheer you up," she said, moving slowly toward my desk before sitting on it."I'm not in the mood. Get out.""Come on, I'm already here," she teased, starting to unbutton her shirt slowly."I said get out," I repeated, my voice cold and firm. My murderous gaze met hers, and I saw a flash of fear in her eyes."Fine, sorry," she muttered, sliding off the desk and heading toward the door."From now on, unless I call for you, don't you dare walk in here again. Is that clear?""Yes... it's clear," she stammered, her body trembling slightly. The moment I finished speaking, she slipped out of the office.Stupid girl. Just because I fucked her a few times, she thinks she has the right to walk in here and put on a show.My phone screen lit up, and when I glanced at it, I saw Marco's name."Talk," I answered coldly
