Chapter: Forced Into AcceptanceDanteI followed my dad into his study. He was furious, but so was I. The moment I entered the study after him, he shut the door.“What is the meaning of this?” My dad asked.“I don’t understand what you are talking about,” I said tightly.Dominic already told me that he didn’t alert my dad before coming to get me. While that was relieving to hear, I doubted that he would stay unaware forever because David had already been involved in it. I was still upset with Dominic for involving that dickhead.“Don’t play games with me, Dante,” my dad warned.“I am not playing games. I just don’t understand what you mean,” I lied.“After acting funny, you decided to disappear during dinner time,” he stated the obvious.“I didn’t disappear,” again, I lied.It wasn’t that I couldn’t tell my dad to his face what I felt like saying, but this was completely different. From the very beginning, I already knew what was at stake, and this wasn’t a risk that the clan was willing to take.“Then where the fuc

Chapter: Confused And PacingAutumnAt first, I had thought that Camille was messing with me, but with the horror in her eyes, I knew that it wasn’t a prank.“Why isn’t Mateo aware?” I had asked Camille.“Dominic wants to keep it under wraps,” Camille had told me.“And what if it is too dangerous?” I had asked. “Why should something like this even be kept discreet?” I asked further in urgency.My heart was beating rapidly.Dante was missing.It was as though I had just been told that a part of me was missing, and I could barely breathe, and Camille was talking about handling it discreetly.“You need to calm down,” Camille had told me.“Don’t freaking tell me that, Camille!” I had yelled at her. “What if he gets killed because Dominic decides to be quiet about it? If Dante has gone missing, does Dominic think he will be able to handle it all by himself?” I had queried Camille.She had sighed deeply.“He is not alone, Autumn,” Camille had said. “He is involving David,” she had added.“His cousin?” I had asked in di

Chapter: SavedDanteThe gunshot that rang in the air was almost deafening.“What the fuck!” Don Silvanos’s representative swore under his breath as he glanced around rapidly.Then we both heard some of his men groaning in pain before falling silent in death. I hadn’t even known that there were guards outside the room watching over me even though I had already been bound with chains. We both knew that his men were being gunned down, and soon enough, it would get to him.He glared at me with venom and bitterness, and I sneered in return.“One day, I will have the honor of slitting your throat open and watching you bleed to death,” he said hatefully.I could see the anger in the eyes because he was unable to kill me, which happened to be his earnest desire.“You will never have that day, you bastard,” I told him with confidence.It was a good thing that I wasn’t cowering before we heard gunshots, otherwise he would have termed it that it was because I suspected that my men had come for me that was why

Chapter: Forbidden DesireDanteI opened my eyes instantly, and that caused my head to pound.The room was pitch black.“Ouch, fuck,” I groaned in pain.Having headaches wasn’t a big deal to me, but the pain in my head was more than a headache. It was even more than a migraine, and it made my head spin.“Fuck,” I exclaimed again, but it was more in annoyance than the pain.I proceeded to touch my head, but I realized that my hands were tied.“What the heck…” I grumbled.My feet were also bound, and that was when I recalled what had happened. The fucking tavern and that nosy man with a disgusting grin on his face.“Fucking hell,” I muttered in anger. “Whoever is responsible for this is going to wish he was never born,” I vowed.Barely had the threat come out of my mouth when the light in the room was switched on and the area I was seated became bright.The room was empty, except for the chair I was sitting on. Then out of a dark corner, a man walked out.“I can’t wait to wish I was never born, Dante De Luca,”

Chapter: MissionAutumnThe next couple of minutes after Maria’s screaming had become chaotic. It was as though she had gone wild with craziness, and Mateo had had to ring for the family’s doctor who came in the speed of light.An hour later, dark at night now, we were waiting impatiently for the doctor to come out and tell us what was going on.My mum was sobbing.“This isn’t your fault, mum,” I tried to calm her down.“No, it isn’t,” she insisted.“We don’t even know what is wrong with her,” I said. “She could be mentally unstable,” I added because there wasn’t any justification for Maria’s display of wildness.One minute, she was speaking, and the next, she was tearing out her throat with screaming as though she had seen a ghost. To me, there was only one explanation to that.“Maria is not mentally unstable,” Mateo correctly me instantly, but his tone was harsh.I noticed how stiff and detached he had been since the whole fiasco. He had not even spared my mum a glance once. His major focus and conc

Chapter: A Disastrous DinnerAutumnMaria would soon be down for dinner even though she was wasting time already, and yet, Dante wasn’t here.“Where the fuck is he?” Mateo was bellowing and my mum was desperately trying to calm him down.The table was set for just my mum and Mateo, Dante and Maria, and then myself. Thinking about it now, I felt like the third wheel already. Everyone would be at the table with their partner, which very much gave the perfect picture of a family dinner.And I would just be seated in their midst like an odd flower which didn’t belong.“I am sure he is somewhere close,” my mum said soothingly.Mateo was fuming, and as such, he wasn’t paying any attention to my mum.Even though I hadn’t seen him many times to come to a conclusion, this was the first time that I was seeing him out of character. He had always appeared calm and collected, and very mature, especially when he came into my room and spoke to me about my mum, but right now, I was seeing a different man.I was seeing an older v
