MasukDANTE’S POV
I came to Folks City for a business proposal, intending to finalize the deal I started with Mr. Brooks through chat. But when I arrived, he informed me that his daughter would be the one attending the meeting in his absence.
I hadn’t expected his daughter to be her.
Tracy. The woman I regret ever leaving.
I never loved her back then—or at least, I thought I didn’t. But after she disappeared without a trace, I found myself yearning for her, haunted by what I had lost.
And now, after five years, she stood before me.
I could see the coldness in her eyes, the guarded way she carried herself. I knew I was the reason for that. I was the one who turned her into this. I just hoped—somehow—she would find it in her to forgive me.
Then I saw it. The way she smiled at the man who had picked her up in a limo. A genuine, happy smile.
Has she moved on?
The thought tightened around my chest like a vice. I needed a drink.
---
The bar was crowded, music blaring, but I had no interest in the noise. I signaled the manager.
“I need a quiet area to drink.” My voice was flat, emotionless.
The middle-aged man’s face lit up with recognition. “Welcome, sir. It’s an honor to have you here. Please, this way.”
I followed him to the VIP section—quiet, secluded, exactly what I needed.
“Get me a bottle of whiskey,” I ordered, and he nodded, returning moments later with the drink.
I handed him my card, then poured myself a glass. The burn of the liquor steadied me, grounding my thoughts.
But then, I saw her.
Tracy.
She was stumbling, clearly drunk, her steps unsteady as she swayed through the bar.
I stood immediately, my mind racing. Was I imagining things?
No. It was her.
And she was completely wasted.
I moved toward her without thinking. Someone could take advantage of her in this state.
But as I reached her, she turned sharply, her eyes hazy yet filled with unmistakable rage.
“You!” she spat, pointing a shaky finger at me. “Don’t you dare come near me!”
Her voice wavered but carried the same fire I remembered.
“You wrecked my life, Dante. You caused me pain. You destroyed everything. You took away my joy, and now you’re here pretending to care?”
Her words hit harder than I expected. Even in her drunken state, she still held onto the past, to the pain I had caused.
Guilt clawed at me, but I pushed it aside. Right now, she needs help.
“I’ll make it up to you, Tracy. I promise,” I murmured, stepping closer.
She tried to shove me away, but her strength had long since left her.
Murmurs filled the bar as people turned to watch the scene unfold. She must have come here alone—there was no sign of a driver.
I had no choice. I had to take her with me.
Lifting her into my arms, I ignored her weak protests and carried her outside. I found her car keys in her clutch and drove her back to my penthouse, instructing the security team to bring my car later.
---
By the time we arrived, she was barely conscious.
I carried her inside, placing her on the bed, but the moment I did, she lurched forward and vomited, her entire body trembling.
Her clothes, the sheets—everything was a mess.
“Don’t you dare touch me, Dante,” she slurred, her voice barely coherent. “I will ruin you. I swear, I will make you suffer. Your life won’t be as colorful as it is now.”
I sighed, running a hand through my hair.
“I deserve it,” I admitted softly. “Punish me all you want. But when you’re done, Tracy… Please, just don’t forget to forgive me.”
She didn’t respond. When I looked down, she had already passed out again.
I couldn’t leave her like this.
Carefully, I carried her to the bathroom, placing her in the bathtub. She stirred slightly, weakly trying to push me away, but she was too drunk to fight back.
Gently, I removed her ruined clothes and cleaned her up, dressing her in my pajamas before setting her aside to change the sheets.
But as soon as I placed her back on the bed, she vomited again—this time, all over me.
I exhaled sharply, patience wearing thin. I needed to call a doctor.
After cleaning her up once more and changing her clothes for the second time, I sat beside her, watching as she slowly opened her eyes.
She smiled.
It wasn’t the usual cold smirk she had given me earlier. It was different.
Soft. Almost… seductive.
She reached out, fingers grazing my face before pulling me closer.
I hesitated but let her guide me.
Suddenly, she pushed me onto the bed, straddling me, her hands pressed against my chest.
Her expression had changed completely—no anger, no resentment. Just a mischievous glint in her eyes.
It reminded me of the night I had been with her for the first time.
She leaned in, her lips just inches from mine, her breath warm against my skin.
But at the last second, I turned my head.
She ended up kissing my cheek instead.
Her playful smile faltered. “Am I not seductive enough for you, Dante?” she whispered, her voice laced with frustration.
I exhaled, gripping her waist gently.
“You’re too tempting,” I admitted. “But I can’t do this. Not like this. You’re still drunk, Tracy. And you still hate me.”
She clenched her jaw. “I want you, Dante.” Her voice broke slightly. “I haven’t been with anyone in five years. Not since you.”
My breath caught.
Five years?
She had waited for me?
Did that mean the man I saw her with wasn’t her fiancé? Not even her boyfriend?
I stared up at her, my heart pounding.
What did this mean?
And did I even deserve to find out?
Before I could gather my thoughts together, she placed her soft lips on mine. My eyes widened in shock, I didn't know how to react at that moment.
She tasted so good, I was unable to resist this sweetness.
I had to succumb to this temptation. I shot all the thoughts running wild in my mind and focused on this short beautiful moment with her.
I held the nape of her neck and kissed her with all my heart and soul. I was lost in ecstasy.
Her lips taste like fresh wine. She kissed me just with the same passion.
I gradually removed her pajamas and revealed her already hard nipples which were begging for attention.
I took her left nipples into my mouth and suckled on it slowly. And I heard her moan.
“I have really missed you Dante”. She said softly with a desire that showed she wanted more of me.
“And I've really missed you more, my love. I just wish you are doing this with a clear mind, this is the effect of the alcohol you have taken, probably by tomorrow when you are sober, you will definitely not take things easy with me”.
“You are mine forever Dante”. She whispered in my ears and kissed me again.
“I wish I could continue with this but I have to seek your forgiveness first Tracy”. I tried to talk to her but she was too intoxicated to listen to me.
“Stop blabbering and just make love to me Dante, or don't you miss me?”. She asked, sounding frustrated.
That was the last string that was left of my sanity, I devoured her mouth immediately and turned her over and kissed her urgently.
I planted kisses all over her body until I got to her waist line. I removed the pajama pants which were loose on her waist.
I inhaled the scent of her wet pussy. I knew it would taste as its scent is. I planted wet kisses round until she got impatient and begged me to suck her pussy.
She was so fucking wet. I widened her legs and began eating her pussy.
“Oh shit! This is so good Dante, please don't stop I'm in cloud nine right now”. She screamed and moaned my name.
I was curious about something and I knew if I wanted to get the truth out of her, I would have to ask her in this drunken state.
I pulsed what I was doing and looked directly into her eyes.
“Why did you stop, please continue”. Her tone was like that of a child that his favourite toy has been taken away.
“If you answer my question honestly then I will continue”. I whispered in her ears.
“Alright what's your question”. Her tone of voice still showed that she wasn't sober yet which made her look so cute.
“Why did you not let anyone have sex with you all these years that I wasn't with you?”.
“Because my heart insisted that it must be you that I will have sex with. I tried to force it to move on but it didn't listen to me. What a stubborn heart that doesn't even listen to her master”. Her voice was so cute, I had to kiss her lips again.
Now, I know that no matter how she treats me when she's sober, I will know that her heart still belongs to me.
“Let me reward you now because you have answered well”. I said with a smile and she wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me.
I couldn't get enough of her sweet lips. I flipped her over again and placed kisses on the nape of her neck.
I bit her earlobe gently and she shivered in excitement.
“Dante, please I want you now”. She said almost sounding as if she was sober.
“No, Tracy I can't do this to you. Like I said before, you are not sober yet and you will hate me more if you find out that my dick penetrated you”. I tried my best to make her understand but she was not willing.
I decided to use my fingers instead of my dick. I inserted my middle finger inside of her. She was so tight and wet. This means she was telling the truth, that no man has touched her for five years now. This brought immense joy to me.
“Oh Dante, this feels so good”. She moaned and called out my name so seductively.
I began to thrust my middle finger in and out of her. At first, I took it so slow and increased my pace and she started moaning loudly.
I inserted my index finger together with my middle finger inside her pussy and she screamed in pain. I gave her time to adjust and began moving in and out of her slowly and steady.
Her moans got louder and within a few minutes her voice became inaudible. She eventually passed out.
I took a deep breath before getting a wet towel to wipe her body clean. When I was done, I had my bath and laid down beside her on the bed.
I was woken by the sound of a siren. When I opened my eyes fully, I couldn't find Tracy, I panicked and stood up immediately to go and find her, only to see her sitting on the couch, all dressed up and staring at me with malicious intent.
“You dare to take advantage of me, while I was drunk?”. She asked with a cold voice that was totally different from the innocent tone she used when she was drunk.
“You wanted it too Tracy”. I tried to make her understand but it was when I finished my sentence that I found out how lame it sounded because she was drunk and I was sober. Obviously anything a drunken person says doesn't count.
“I guess you heard the sound of the siren, those are the police, you will explain your despicable behaviour to them when you get to the station”. She looked at me with disdain and walked out.
My goal right now Tracy is to make you admit your feelings for me, and if enduring your torture and hatred would make me win you bag, then no problem.
DANTE'S POVI came back from the hospital feeling pissed. Ava is really an asshole. She always does something to annoy me.I wonder how I left Tracy back then to be with a bitch like her.I was pouring myself a glass of wine when I noticed my phone on the counter.One missed call.Unknown number.I frowned. “Who the hell calls this late?”I stared at the screen for a few seconds, then decided to call back.The line rang once, twice… then a soft female voice answered.“Hello? City Hospital, Ward Seven. How may I help you?”I paused, confused. “Hospital?”“Yes, this is the City Hospital,” the voice said politely. “Who am I speaking with?”“This is Dante,” I replied. “Your number called me an hour ago.”“Oh…” The nurse’s tone shifted. “Then maybe one of the patients in this ward dialed your number, sir.”My chest tightened a little. “A patient?”“Yes, sir. Sometimes patients use the ward's phone when they need to reach someone urgently.”I leaned against the glass wall, my brows knitting
JACOB'S POVThe scream came first.A sharp, terrified sound that cut through the air above the pool.I turned my head and that’s when I saw her.Tracy was struggling in the water. Her arms floated weakly beside her, her head tilting backward as bubbles rose around her. The water swallowed her slowly, pulling her under.For a second, the world froze. Then I moved.“Tracy!” I shouted, my voice echoing across the water.I didn’t waste another breath. I dove forward, my arms cutting through the pool in hard, fast strokes. My chest burned, but I didn’t stop. The barrier dividing our side of the pool hit my shoulder as I tore through it. All I could see was her hair drifting like dark silk under the blue water.When I reached her, she was already sinking deeper.I grabbed her by the waist, pulling her up with all my strength. Her body was limp, no resistance, and no sound. The silence scared me more than anything.“Come on, Tracy,” I muttered, tightening my grip as I kicked upward. “Stay w
TRACY'S POV:I was bored sitting in the ward for almost all day without even knowing where my loved ones are currently. My mind was full of fog. Every time I tried to remember what happened before I woke up, my head began to hurt.Everyone kept saying I was married. That I had a son. But how could that be? The last thing I remembered was being with Dante… and Anna laughing beside me.Where were they now?I sat up slowly and looked around the room. My eyes landed on the hospital telephone sitting on the small table beside the window.Maybe… maybe if I call them, I’ll finally understand.I picked up the receiver with shaky hands. “Okay, Tracy… think,” I whispered to myself. “You remember Dante’s number. Try it.”I slowly pressed the buttons, one by one, and held the phone close to my ear.Ring… ring… ring…My heart beat faster. “Please pick up, Dante… please.”But then…The number you have dialed is not available.I froze. “No, no, no… not now.”I tried again. Same thing.I felt tears
JACOB'S POVTracy’s question hit me like a wave I wasn’t ready for.“Where is Dante? Anna? And my mother?” She asked again.For a moment, I couldn’t speak. My mouth opened, but no words came out. My chest felt tight. I had waited for her to wake up for so long, but not like this, not with her remembering someone else instead of me.She stared at me with confused eyes, her voice weak but curious. “Why do you look so shocked? Did something happen to them?”I swallowed hard, forcing my voice to stay calm. “Tracy… who is Dante to you?”She blinked. “Dante?” Her lips curved into a small, soft smile. “He’s my boyfriend. Why?”The room suddenly felt colder. I could feel the doctor watching me, but I didn’t move. I didn’t flinch. On the outside, I stayed calm, but inside, it felt like someone had just stabbed me.Her boyfriend.That name again.Dante, the man she used to love before everything changed. Before she was betrayed by him.I clenched my hands quietly at my side. I couldn’t let her
JACOB'S POVTwo long weeks had passed since Tracy’s fingers first moved.Every morning, I walked into that white, quiet hospital room hoping she would open her eyes but she didn’t. The machines still beeped beside her bed, and her chest still rose and fell gently, but she didn’t wake up.She looked peaceful, like she was just sleeping. But I knew she wasn’t.And every day, I saw Alvin getting thinner. His cheeks were no longer round, and his bright smile had faded. The boy barely ate. Sometimes, he would sit beside her bed for hours, whispering, “Mommy, please wake up. I miss you.”It broke my heart to see him like that.That afternoon, I walked into the room and saw Alvin sitting on the chair, holding Tracy’s hand tightly. His small head rested on the edge of the bed. He had fallen asleep crying again.I sighed quietly and knelt beside him. “Hey, buddy,” I said softly. “You haven’t eaten your lunch.”He lifted his head and rubbed his sleepy eyes. “I’m not hungry.”“You said that yest
AVA’S POVDante had been acting like a ghost for weeks. Every time I saw him, his eyes were dull, empty, like someone had stolen the life out of him. He barely spoke. He didn’t go to work. He just sat in that big, dark mansion, drinking his nights away.It made me angry.He was wasting himself over a woman who didn’t even deserve him. Tracy. The name alone made my stomach twist. She had everything, Dante’s love, his attention, his loyalty, everything I wanted. And she threw it all away.Now she is gone. Good.And Dante was mine to claim.I walked into his study that night, the smell of whiskey filling the air. The curtains were half-drawn, the room dark except for the faint glow from the lamp on his desk. Bottles littered the table, and Dante was slumped in his chair, a glass dangling loosely from his hand.“Dante,” I said softly.He didn’t look up. “Go home, Ava.”I smiled, stepping closer. “You’ve been saying that for weeks. I think you like having me around.”He gave a low, humorle
