ALINA I walked about with Dante as he met and greeted various individuals.This was so tiring. Did Dante bring me here as his side kick that was meant to follow him everywhere he went?Frustration and anger were two strong emotions coursing through me.He could have just let me stay back home.I would have had my peace rather than being here with him. Fuck. I hated this man so much. He was driving me nuts.I did not beg to come here. Dante dragged me here.But surprisingly, Dante was introducing me as his wife to every one we met. I actually thought he would be reluctant to do that. I'm guessing this was just for the sake of formality. This man disliked me and found me repulsive.Oh heavens please help me."The devil himself. Mr Dante Morelli" I heard a deep baritone voice call from behind us. I and Dante made a sharp pivot and my gaze fell upon a young handsome man, probably Dante's age, coming towards us. His chestnut brown hair was slick, cascading down the nape of hi
DANTE "Dante what do you say about shipping the goods towards the Middle East instead? And the demand for Opium is rather high in south America. They are ravenous wolves. How do you cope in having your drugs pass smoothly with no hassle?" Valentine inquired from me, leaning his hands on the table."You make a good point. I have men situated at the boarders of Brazil by guyana to the east, Uruguay to the south and Bolivia to the south west. Marcello oversees the distribution of crystal methamphetamine all the way down to Argentina and also new Mexico. Stefano and his underbosses oversee the distribution of our drugs all across Europe to America and plus the politicians and those dick heads sitting in the embassy are on my payroll. My drugs go in easily without a hassle" I meticulously explained to Valentine. He seemed pleased with me and on his lips wore a malicious smile."And the distribution of the ammunitions?" He prod.I was about shedding light on that when I heard a distin
ALINA My eyes slowly peeled open to meet the parallel rays of the sunlight that creeped into my room through the wide apart curtains. I rolled over to the other side of the bed and stretched my body lazily before fully regaining my consciousness. I slowly laid up, trying to establish how I got home as my vision adjusted to fall upon my room. Last thing I remembered was being at the function with Dante, watching him greet and address literally everybody every now and then and now I'm seeing myself in my room and it's morning. How did time move so fast?Instantly, a hangover struck me and my head ached, causing me to hiss and put a hand over my forehead. It then fully dawned me on my last night activities. I had gotten so heavily drunk and Dante had taken us out for pizza.Did Dante actaully do that? I questioned myself to make sure it was real and not just in my imaginations. How could dante catch me drunk and decide to take me out instead of punishing me?Certainly that
ALINA My tremor ignited on seeing Dante angrily stump out of his car. Multiple sweat beads formed on my skin and the air around us suddenly felt too tight to breathe in.Dante was so hot under his collar. His eyes seethed with exasperation and a blaze of indignation burned furiously within him.The look in his eyes were threatening. I had never seen it before. The muscles in his jaw clenched and unclenched. His fist were balled up so tight I could swear his knuckles were turning white. His demeanour spoke off raw anger. Raw, bloody and threatening anger. Flashing both of us an icy glare, he took predatorial steps towards us.My heart was already swimming in my stomach. "Uhm Theodore...I..I..you should be going now please" I stuttered in my speech with quivering lips, noticing Dante was furiously approaching us."Why? The man is your boss right?" He inquired, not wanting to leave. The next minute, my terrified orbs fell on two muscular men coming out of Dante's car, traili
ALINA Silence hung in the air. It was heavy, deadly and suffocating. I sometimes had to remind myself to breathe as we drove.My heart beat was so erratic that I literally felt it could pop right out of my chest any moment I took multiple glances at Dante's sharp profile as he sat away from me. He was brooding with raw, bloody anger. I could feel and see it. He was murderous.His lips were pulled to a scowl and his brows were wrinkled coupled with his fists clenched.Oh God! I wailed within me.In the boot laid a half dead and thoroughly beaten up Theodore.He would die soon if he wasn't given adequate and instant medical care.And likely so would I because Dante was breathing hail and brimstones. He was quiet through out the ride. Not a single word did he utter to me and it wasn't a good sign.I was expecting him to lash out at me but he kept mute.How could I watch him kill a young promising man like Theodore all because he thinks he is trying to snatch me from him? Where did
ALINA Lightening flashed across the stark dark sky, the wind becoming violent and turbulent with each passing nano second, swaying trees in its direction. Though it was dark, I could vividly see that the sky was overcast with stormy clouds. Thunder rumbled in such a ferocious manner every now and then as lightening lit up the sky. I laid on my bed, cuddled myself up like a ball and reminisced about my memories with Theodore. It was four weeks already since that gory incident took place.And Dante made sure to make my life a living hell. It seemed his hatred for me soared beyound all heights and now just looking at my face got him so inflamed with rage.I had endured a lot and I still am. If it wasn't telling me to stand under running cold water, it was starving me of food or locking me up for days in my room, hurling fowl words at me, humiliating me in front of his guards and visitors or threatening to shoot me. Dante never for once raised his hands to hit me or punch m
ALINA "What are you doing there staring like an idiot!? Won't you set the dining table?!" Dante barked at me which got me both shuddering and jerking. I pondorously dragged my feet and walked towards him."Alina were you born deaf or you just want to be deaf?!" Dante frothed. I opened my mouth my speak but was cut short by one of Dante's men, Luca."Dante you need to be taken back to the hospital. You are bleading too much. For once don't be stubborn" Luca advised, frustration in his tone. Dante shot him dagger glares and hissed in pain."Alina get out of here. I'm being as calm as I can" Dante faced me, his voice gravelly low. "Dante you are bleeding so badly. Why don't you want to get treated?" I inquired, my brows deeply creased. Dante pressed his lips together and let out a pained howl as he shut his eyes tight. I approached him further and stretched my hand, my fingers grazing his soaked up shirt."What do you think you are doing?" Dante aggressively asked, snappin
DANTE I stared at my injured arm through the vertical mirror in my bathroom, reminiscing about yesterday's event. I was in a hall attenting to different high classed politicians and mafia men when I felt a piercing sting of pain in my arm. Though no sound was heard but immedetialy, I felt a liquid soaking my cloth. My eyes darted to my arm in an instant and I saw that the liquid was spreading, tainting every area and more especially it was scarlet red. It was then the pain really shot through me like lightening bolt and my knees buckled to the ground. I was shot by a silencer. It seems the shooter must have targeted my chest but it got into my arm instead.Some of my men flanked around me in the blink of an eye, racing to get an ambulance, while the majority had their guns drawn out for blood as they ran outside the hall. The shooter was uncovered in a nearby underground tunnel but the bloody mother fucker still escaped. He shot one of my capos in the arm, Fabio, thereb
