Dante

I’d never thought she’d want to be here. She never really looked at me — just right through, as though I were the prison wall and she’d been counting the cracks. Her silence, her compliance, her newfound obedience... she had been acting it the whole time. And I had let her act. But then tonight … she took off the mask. And splashed the truth right in my face.

How dare she! She was mine. I bought her. I saved her. I gave her safety, position—purpose. And she bit the hand that fed her? No. I’d be upset, no, I wouldn’t let that stand. I was not going to cower there, soaked and still shaking, and let her talk to me like I was her lesser. I lunged forward, quick and accurate. Before she could take another breath I had her by the throat. Her gasp choked in her mouth. She pounced on my wrist, and fought instinctively, but I did not move. Pulling her closer, I looked into those stubborn eyes of hers, as wet hair stuck to her face. She attempted to remain defiant — but I could see the qu

  • Betrayed And Sold To The Mafia King   Smiles He Couldn't Stand

    Valeria I laughed with him. The laughter was so real that the corner of my lips had already pulled before I could stop it. I couldn’t recall the last time I’d done that. Miguel Alvarez made me forget where I was, and exactly why I was here. He had just said something silly about Dante being emotionally unavailable, when it happened.“Valeria.”I froze mid-chuckle, while Miguel's smile faltered. I didn’t have to turn my head to know who it was. But I turned anyway.Dante stood with his hands shoved into his pockets. I had let out a breathe, allowing the grin on my face to fall off. Just when I was starting to feel something close to normal again.Miguel's eyes darted from Dante and back to mine again. “Ah, Dante,” Miguel said, as he took a step towards him. “Didn’t know your assistant had a personality. You typically go for the ones that act like robots.”I bit my cheek from the inside to suppress a laughter that had just formed. Dante didn’t even blink. And he didn't looked away, not

  • Betrayed And Sold To The Mafia King   The Silent Nanny

    DanteShe was standing by the door with her back straight, head slightly bowed and mouth shut. I sat behind my desk and tapped my fingers on the polished wood, squinting at her motionless form. It was day three. It was her third day of working directly under me and by some miracle, I was losing it.“Well, you’re still breathing, at least,” I added, sighing to see the look on her face. But I got nothing. Not even a twitch. She didn’t even blink.I moved back in my chair and let out a little stretch. “What? Cat got your tongue? Or are you tired from crying in the dark room I locked you in?” Still she said nothing.“Wow. You're like a fuckin' loyal little mute," I continued, my words heavy with sarcasm. “Who pulled your ‘off’ switch?”Her eyes fluttered a bit, and that was all. No smart retort, no eye-roll, no fire. Just that goddamn calm. She made me feel like I was talking to a marble statue with nice legs. I got up out of my chair slowly, reaching into my desk drawer for a little brow

  • Betrayed And Sold To The Mafia King   Let the Game Begin

    ValeriaI balled up my fists under the blanket, digging my nails into my palms that were sore already. I clenched my teeth so hard. But I said nothing. Not a word. I dropped my head, looked at the end of the bed, pushed my head into the mattress pad and tried hard not to even look at him. Not that I was about to give it to him. Dante stood at the end of the bed, like he owned the floor there. As if my suffering was his show.“Now you’re quiet,” he said lazily, his voice laced with a sneer. “Just like I said you’d be. I like the idea that a little darkness, a little silence and you’re suddenly very obedient.” I didn’t respond. I couldn’t.He chuckled lowly. “I was right about you.”“You bark loud when the room’s empty, Valeria. But as soon as someone else is holding your leash, you start whimpering.” His voice was sharp now. “That’s what you are. A defanged little thing.” I swallowed the fire in my throat. He didn’t stop.“You’re lucky I didn’t leave you in that room another night. But

  • Betrayed And Sold To The Mafia King   Darkness Isn’t Always Silent

    ValeriaIt had been an entire day. After the first hour, I had no idea how long it had been. The silence was maddening. Not a beam of light, not even the narrowest one under the door. Only the smell of dust. The food came once. Slipped in. I hadn’t touched it. I huddled myself, knees to my chest, arms wrapped around them, and stared into the dark as though it were his face.Dante. The whole time, I cursed his very name with each breath I drew. Arrogant bastard. Soulless tyrant. Heartless demon. He thought throwing me in this hole will break me? He was wrong. But even as I thought that, something in me started to make sense. He didn’t even hesitate.I’d revealed the truth. Had let him see just a little of the depth of my pain, and he’d choked me- like I was less than nothing. A thing he could toss away. And yet… Yet he didn’t kill me. That was worse, worse than the dark.Why didn’t he?I mentally pushed the thought away. He spared me not out of mercy. But because he wanted me to be sm

  • Betrayed And Sold To The Mafia King   Under His Gaze

    Valeria’From the second I turned and found him standing there, my breath had caught in my throat. Dante. His hairy arms were crossed across his chest, his pose commanding. And the eyes, those sharp grey eyes peered into me with an icy stare. No emotion, no warmth. Just sharp calculation. I jerked myself up straight, and struggled to compose my body. But inside? My heart slammed against my ribs. Our eyes locked. Neither of us moved. He didn’t speak. Not at first. “What did you mean by that?” His voice finally broke the silence .I blinked once, my expression vacant. “Mean by what?” His jaw twitched. “Don’t mess with me, Valeria,” he said, taking a slow step forward. “That little thing you said back there by the pool — who are you, even, trying to take everything back from?” My stomach twisted. He’d heard. Of course he had. I’d been so deep in my own world that I hadn’t even sensed him come up to me.“I was just thinking to myself,” I answered pleasantly. “You startled me.” Dante’s lip
