No Dante. Why would you leave your mother and wife in the same house? Smh men. 🙄
I sit on the bed and let out a sigh of relief. Sex is out of the way. At least for now. The only thing I have to worry about is if Dante will change his mind and kill me in my sleep. I need to find out what this feud with my family is about and how to act. Is it justified? People have been known to start a war for nothing. If my husband is unreasonable, then maybe I shouldn't get comfortable here. Speaking of which, is it just going to be the two of us in this humongous house? Doesn't he have family or friends? Who is Dante anyway? I've never heard of him. If he was Romeo's nephew, how come no one knows about him? Ugh, I'll think about everything later. Right now I need to get out of this dress, shower then get some sleep. I start with the veil, sliding the clip out of my hair and dropping it on the floor. I reach behind me ready to undo the buttons on the back but realize I can't reach them. There's no way I can get this dress off by myself. If I was in a romantic book, I'd go lookin
I might have overreacted yesterday when Dante told me his mother was coming to live with us. But in my experience, living with a mother-in-law is not easy. Before nonna died, she used to live with us. The screaming match she used to have with mama could be heard all the way down the street. They'd disagree on everything and nothing. At one point, papa stopped trying to intervene. He'd hide the weapons and then leave. As if either of them had the guts to shoot anyone. Then again, maybe they could do it in the heat of the moment. Who knows? My point is, it's not advisable to live with my mother-in-law. Especially when this is not your conventional marriage. I'm sure she will be okay with Dante having a mistress but if she sees me with a man, names will start circulating. Mothers are always like that. Their children can do no wrong. I might be overreacting. Or I might be right. Either way, I called Elena over to discuss this. She's my only friend and it's always good to have a second
"Have you found him?" "Have you found him?" I echo the question back to Sal. Ever since he found out I married Emiliana, he's been moody. Calling to check in on me every few hours. Something I don't appreciate. Getting married doesn't render me incapable of making decisions or kicking his ass. "So the answer is no," he says "That was sloppy which is unlike you. No one gets away from you" One of Romeo's men escaped. I had Mario and Uberto, my guys go get him and he escaped from them. Saying he was no traitor. I know for a fact Luis wasn't loyal to Romeo. That bastard hadn't done anything to inspire loyalty from his men. Luis ran away because he knows me. He knows I won't keep any of them alive. If he's smart, he'll leave and never look back. That doesn't mean I'll stop looking for him. He knows too much about my business to be walking around with his head attached to his shoulders. I would go looking for him myself but I can't leave Emiliana alone in this house.
I called Elena right after with the good news. Truth be told, I didn't think I would ever go to college. My father made his stance on that clear. He wasn't about to let college boys distract me or convince me into giving them my virginity. Up until now, I thought his reason was justifiable. He wanted to keep me away from temptation. But now I can't help but wonder if it was because he didn't trust me. It's not like I'd done anything to make him doubt me. Why wouldn't he allow me to further my studies? The only thing I can think of is because he didn't want me to possess any type of skills. Having a degree meant being qualified to find a job and support myself. Without it, I would be forced to rely on him or my husband. This is one of the reasons women are trapped in marriages they don't want to be in. Because they have nowhere to go and no skills to help support themselves. Is that how my father wanted me to turn out? I'm starting to think that maybe marrying Dante wasn't such a bad
"How did you lose her? Do you understand the meaning of a shadow?" I ask calmly. I can't let them see how rattled I am. How much I want to smash their heads on the pavement until there's nothing left in their brains. I specifically told them not to leave her side for even a second. But they defied me. "She went to the bathroom and never came out, sir" Valerio offers pissing me off further. Is there a portal in the bathroom? "Why didn't you follow her and wait outside?" Silence. I thought she would feel more at ease with a familiar face but I was wrong. I never should have put anything before her safety "Security cameras?" I ask my jaw tight."We checked. They only show her going in but never coming out" Rico says. "So you're telling me she disappeared in the bathroom? On her first day of school? Are you fucking kidding me?" They all stand with their hands folded in front of them and their heads bowed. The only reason I haven't taken out my gun is because we're in school, surrounded
Earlier that day, "You're up. Can you stand?" An overly chipper voice asks. I blink rapidly trying to clear my vision. What the fuck happened? My limbs feel wobbly and my head is heavy. It takes a few minutes to find the owner of the voice. A moment later I manage to make out the person's features. It's a woman with black hair held in a high ponytail. She's in a tank top, leather pants, and combat boots. "Who are you?" I ask. Damn, even my throat is dry. What did they do to me? Is this a kidnapping? "Try standing and moving around. The knockout drug is strong" Knockout drug- "Did you kidnap me?" "Do you have a problem following orders?" "Excuse me?" Who the fuck is this bitch? Running a hand through my hair, I shake off the cobwebs in my head and get up. Only to fall back in the chair. I couldn't run away if I wanted to. "It'll take a while for it to completely leave your body. Drink the water. Your handler should be here any minute" I pick u
Fuck! I shouldn't have done that. I was half asleep and that was a scenario I'd imagined more than I care to count so I reacted instinctively. When you wake up with your wife in your arms, the only logical thing to do is kiss her good morning. If she hadn't left to use the bathroom, I'm afraid I would have done more than that. When I got in bed last night, I had every intention of waking up after she'd settled down. But the longer she was in my arms, the more reluctant I felt to let her go. Next thing I know, she's nudging me awake and I'm kissing her and asking her to come right back. As if I have any right to do any of that. She might be my wife but she didn't choose to marry me. Just like her parents forced her to marry that bastard, I also did the same thing. She was scared into marrying me without knowing about my obsession with her. I allowed her to go to school so that when we part ways, she wouldn't have to rely on her family. And we will part ways eventually because the last
My legs shake as Dante's tongue swipes along the junction between my thighs. His fingers spread my pussy open and he sucks my sex, licking and thrusting his tongue into me. Finally, I understand why Elena likes this so much. It's exhilarating and it feels so fucking good. I'm pushing my ass into his face, not caring if he's suffocating or not. When I came back from school, this wasn't what I had in mind. Okay, who am I kidding? When I put on this piece, I knew the night might end this way. A part of me wanted it to turn out this way. The fact that he refused to send Constanza away was annoying. When we were alone she confessed that G had sent her to keep an eye on me so I won't go running my mouth. But what really pissed me off was how Dante refused to acknowledge that kiss. No matter how small it was, I wanted him to give me an explanation. He'd made it clear he wanted an experienced woman. The only experience I had was with the mysterious guy at The Cloud. And at first, I was okay
