  Azalea's Pov It wasn't enough that Dante broke our second kiss as if he regretted kissing me, Zara had to call me for the first time since I was married off to him. More like thrown out of my father's house which I never felt like a part of. I don't belong anywhere. I'm always unwanted and chastised. I didn't know she had my number anyway.Whipping my head around to look at him now seated by the bedside, his eyes on me, waiting. I called Zara's name to make sure I heard the caller right, then bit down on my lip where his sharp perfectly white teeth had cut and hissed.“Can you do me a favour, Azalea?” She asked.“A favour?” I frowned, touching my forehead to tamp down my swelling emotions. I looked away from Dante who read my expressions carefully. “Well, it all depends on the favour.”I listened for a while, impatient and edgy.“That is so much money that you are talking about!” I said, wondering why she would ask me for a loan. A huge sum of money at that.“Well, yeah. Bye!” I put

  Dante's Pov “Where is the document?” Choosing a secluded spot in the old farmhouse, I watched Morris fetch a document from his suitcase and hand it to a woman in the backseat of a black Range Rover.It was hard for me to leave the house after watching Azalea sleep most of the morning. The only thing I thought about while she was snoring softly with her slightly parted lips was kissing her again. I wanted to feel her lips on mine, my tongue tasting her flavoured mouth, and her soft body pressed against mine as she reciprocated. But I had to leave when I heard Morris' car drive out of the house.I followed him closely in a rental so he wouldn't know who was following him if he noticed. I always leave the house in my jogging tight pants, polo shirt and sports shoes. Although watching my wife sleep delayed my leaving at my usual running hour, everyone would still think I went for a run since it's the only thing I'm allowed to do these days. My wife. That sounds strange, but I am beginn

  Azalea's Pov When I woke up the next morning, Dante was still in bed, staring at my face as if he had been waiting for me to open my eyes.“Good morning,” I sat up, frowning at him. “Good heavens, I'm so sorry.” I apologized when I realized that I had drooled on his sheets again.He had seen me sleeping with my mouth open and spitting all over his bed. Maybe even snoring and talking in my sleep. What a shame!“I thought your soul had left your body.” He said, pointing at the wall clock.“Oh, no! Why did you not wake me up!” I jumped off the bed, sprinting to the door. I stopped in my tracks when I heard him laugh.“It is the weekend, wife.” He stood up and left the room, ruffling my hair on his way out. Who is this man in Dante’s body?He laughed. That sound. I felt good hearing it, so I watched him go down the stairs and I realized then that he had come back from jogging before joining me again in bed to probably scare my demons away. I can't believe I slept throughout the night an

  Dante's Pov I stood by my window and stared hard at the pill box which I held in between two fingers. I shook it slightly before a car pulling into the driveway caught my attention. I watched as it stopped behind Larrisa’s car; Azalea stepped out and paused to look toward the direction of my window as if she sensed my gaze upon her, and then she walked gracefully into the house.Gerald drove the car toward the underground garage to park the car properly. I caught sight of the rubber gloves he wore when he rolled down the glass and brought his arm out to press the lock button so that the garage door pushed up for him to drive in. That reminded me of the man who was following me in the morning. I had made sure to lose him by juggling between buildings and running faster than I intended before coming back home. When did Gerald start wearing gloves? I must have been in coma longer than I was told because a lot has changed.A wrap on my door made me tear my eyes away from the window to an

  Azalea's Pov “People say boys learn how to be men from their fathers. Would your son have wanted to learn from you, Mr. Mason?" I asked, my voice a bit louder than before. I was surprised by how easily the words came out despite my tension“Don't come closer! Don't talk about my son! You've no fuckin’ idea what you're saying!” He yelled, blindly throwing the huge rock he held. Anger surged through him like a wounded cat.Initially, I thought the rock was headed straight for me, but it struck the remnants of the ad screen hanging above the entrance. The impact caused the screen to crack even further, its supporting wire straining dangerously as it tilted unsteadily just inches from where he stood.Panicked, he turned to run, but his legs clipped together, sending him tumbling to the ground. The advertisement screen came crashing down beside him, arousing a collective gasp from the crowd. Reporters rushed toward the scene, their cameras flashing and shutters clicking furiously from eve

  Azalea's Pov I woke up with a bright smile spreading across my face, but it diminished immediately when I noticed that I was alone in bed. I can't deny that last night was memorable; I don't think he'd already be awake and in regret for his behaviour last night, left when he woke up.He didn't have to run; this was his room, and he could have simply woken me up and sent me on my way. The thought bugged me as I left the room and closed it quietly before anyone saw me. This was my husband's room and it wouldn't be bad if anyone saw me coming out from his room, but I don't know for sure what they'd say and think in this house.I wasn't so lucky because Danielle chose that moment to come up to his room for his morning medication, but when she saw me lingering by Dante's door, she rolled her eyes and went downstairs again. I do wonder why she doesn't want to have a face-to-face encounter with me. She avoids me by all means, and I do wish her boyfriend would do the same instead of always t
