Chapter: Chapter 33: Wet For Me***~~ZARA~~***We breathed into each other as we kissed more deeply.Dante’s hands started moving slowly down to my hips with gentle pressure that made my entire body feel like it was on fire.His right hand slid underneath my shirt and moved up slowly toward my chest.My first instinct was to stop him, since this was moving fast and we were crossing all the lines we’d drawn for ourselves, but I found myself not wanting him to stop at all.I genuinely wanted more of his touch and the way he was making me feel.He suddenly removed his hand from under my shirt, and I immediately opened my eyes to look at him, wondering why he’d stopped.He must have seen the confusion on my face because he gave me a small, reassuring smile before placing both his hands gently on my cheeks and kissed me again, softer and slower, like he was savoring every single second.Then without warning, he lifted me in one smooth motion, and I instinctively wrapped my legs around his waist.My body was positioned

Chapter: Chapter 32: Interrupted Us***~~ZARA~~***“I’ll get the door,” Dante announced as he quickly moved across the room, and I sat up on the bed, trying to calm my racing heart from whatever that almost-kiss moment had been.“Nanny Valentina,” Dante called warmly as he opened the door, and I could hear the genuine affection in his voice.“My handsome boy,” she responded with maternal warmth that immediately filled the room. “We haven’t even had proper time to talk since you returned. How have you been managing everything?”“I’m doing fine, Nanny, just been incredibly busy with the marriage and all the family drama,” Dante explained, stretching his arms out to pull her into a warm hug.“You still call me Nanny as you used to when you were little,” she said.“Hi, Nanny Valentina.”“Hello, sweetheart,” she replied as she noticed me sitting on the bed, her face lighting up with a genuine smile. “I’m so sorry I haven’t had the proper time to come visit you both in your room to welcome you properly, but as the head nann

Chapter: Chapter 31: Absolutely Chaotic Hell***~~ZARA~~***“Why don’t we completely change the whole drama scene?” Ethan suggested, and I could see his mind already working through the possibilities.“Okay, go ahead,” Dante nodded, giving him the green light to explain his plan.“Let’s pretend this entire confrontation never happened,” Ethan said. “Julia and I will start fake crying the second they all walk through that door so they’ll see us in the middle of breaking down. Then we’ll apologise profusely for accusing Dante and say we only did this since we desperately needed money and it felt like the only way out of our situation, that we’re just poor people trying to escape poverty.”Before he could even finish explaining the whole fake scenario we would be performing, we heard the distinctive sound of a car horn blaring outside the house gates.I immediately rushed to the window to check who it was and saw my father-in-law honking repeatedly at the gateman, who had apparently fallen fast asleep at his post. I quickly ran b

Chapter: Chapter 30: You Married Your Bully***~~ZARA~~***“Oops,” Julia let out a guilty little laugh as the fake pregnancy belly hit the floor with a hollow sound.“Julia,” her brother Ethan called out, and the look on his face clearly screamed, "You're not following the plan we agreed on.”“Zazzz,” Dante called to me from across the room, his voice completely confused as he tried to process what was happening right in front of us.Julia and I just giggled at the absolutely shocked expressions on both their faces. Then we grabbed each other in another tight hug.I’d missed this girl so much, and seeing her again after all these years felt surreal.“Zara, I’ve missed you so much. You look more beautiful than you did back in high school,” she gushed as she reached up to caress my cheeks softly with both hands.“Cutie, I’ve missed you too,” I replied, taking in how much she’d changed since the last time I saw her.Her hair was dyed with a gorgeous shade of burgundy that looked amazing on her.Adrian clearly thought he could se

Chapter: Chapter 29: Some Elaborate Scheme***~~ZARA~~***“Zara, please don’t do anything drastic. No one should make any decisions before we get back from the registry office,” Dante’s dad pleaded. “There must be some mix-up somewhere. I’m certain this is just a misunderstanding that we can clear up.”I looked over at his mom and noticed she had completely turned her face away, like she didn’t care at all about what was happening.I was really beginning to notice at this point that she didn’t like me at all, and ever since I stepped foot into this house and signed those marriage documents, her entire attitude toward me had shifted drastically.She had really changed from the woman who had been somewhat warm during our first meetings to this cold distant person who could barely look at me.“Okay, Dad,” I responded respectfully, trying to keep my voice steady even though I was shaking inside. “But please, can we all go inside while we sort this situation out properly?”I gestured for the young man and the pregnant woman to fo

Chapter: Chapter 28: Handle It Quickly***~~DANTE~~***"You're very stupid for even saying that out loud," Mr Henry snapped viciously, glaring at Adrian with pure hatred. "Do you want to bring public shame on my daughter by standing here denying this in front of everyone?""That's enough Adrian, what exactly do you have to say about this accusation?" my dad asked."I'm telling the truth, Dad. I'm being completely honest. I'm not the one responsible for her pregnancy," Adrian repeated desperately."I demand that your son take full responsibility for this pregnancy and marry my daughter as soon as possible," Mrs Henry interrupted, leaving absolutely no room for negotiation. "Before he even gets the opportunity to deny that she's pregnant out of wedlock, let me remind everyone here that this situation will severely tarnish my husband's reputation in this community, and I know none of you want that kind of scandal attached to the Wright name either. This matter has to be sorted out immediately, and quite frankly, the wedding
