Dante's POV

I had to laugh at the look on her face. From the very moment she stepped into the room she looked like a mouse that had winded up in a terribly elaborate trap.

“Wouldn't you like to know?” I said.

“I would…. actually.” She replied, her voice small.

“Eat up.” I pointed my knife at her plate.

She visibly swallowed gingerly picking up the utensil from the dining table. She still hesitated.

“If I wanted you dead you would've been two weeks ago. Your daddy dearest has been owing me

    Dante's POV Rehabilitation wasn't one of my strongest suits. It was in no way sexy. I preferred to cut the weeds out before they started getting out of hand, taking what they had no right to have in first place. But as it turns out, even weeds have things I wanted. I could almost see the look on her face. When she'd set her eyes on her. I wished I was there to see it. Both women realising that things didn't go as planned. I mostly looked forward to Lily's. Her looks were ones I liked to decipher. She hid so much behind them, unlike Kerry. I could tell what makes people were thinking with just a look and one which Kerry had before handing me the information I needed to help in the goals of this impromptu visit. “He's got some people, says he infiltrated the syndicate or shit like that. That's what my people tell me.” She'd almost begged me to listen to her ramblings. “I can get some more. I have more peop

    Lily's POV The past two days where one of the most peaceful my nights had been. Maybe it was the milky beverage Rosa brought to me or the piano that played for the second time yesterday. Or both. All I know is I slept really well. Save for a few jolts here and there. I sat in the back seat of the car watching the vegetation and then people flash by.The memory of Mr Moretti playing in my head from a few nights ago. It bordered on him actually behaving like a human being—touchable—for second then moving to his unfortunate self. What else could I say? He was quite the puzzle. One I wasn't so keen on figuring out unless it spelt my freedom. “What she had coming to her.” What did that even mean? I may have escalated the situation to new heights but that reply escalated my heart rate every time I thought about it. The idea of Kerry lying somewhere, possibly a ditch or a river. My mind was scrambling to think of ideas. I didn't kn

    Lily's POV Of all the people to catch me out here it just had to be this guy. This fucking guy. I placed a free hand on my chest trying to catch my breath. My heart thundered against my rib cage and I was sure I was a few seconds from imploding. “I just came to get some air.” I replied. “Hmm.” He kept his gaze on me, I felt uneasy. “Mind if I join you then?”“What? Why?” He tilted his head a bit to the left. “Right, it's your house.”“I didn't ask if it's my house. I merely asked to join you.” I looked off to the side, swearing under my breath. Getting one upped by a mafia boss was never in my bingo cards. Who was I kidding, these past few weeks hadn't been close to anything I dreamed about. Quite the contrary.He stepped down from the door and stood next to me, the sun had already set and a dark sky was upon us. The garden suddenly lit up with bright warm lights. I had to stare, I had never been in the ga

    Dante's POV Home felt a little different lately. Maybe it's because I'd been somewhat avoiding some responsibilities. I hadn't gone to work in a while, not that it mattered. Bella kept me updated every step of the way. Too diligent that one. But without her I would've fallen off on some occasions prior. Luca was doing a lot better thanks to her constant watch over him. If no one watched him during times like this we would have been having different discussions. I met with the families of the lost men a day earlier. The only time I stepped out of the house. It wasn't pretty. To say they were devastated was a terrible understatement. All I could provide like Rosa had reiterated was comfort. It's something my mother did really well.She was the perfect person to handle situations like this. The Moretti family had been built on a lot of things but support for the people working for us was a major priority. They were family too. I wasn't t

    Dante's POV My eyes darted at the activity in the room. My men unplugging and getting the flat screen TV. I could see the three bullet holes I put through the screen. It wasn't enough. Maybe just one more or several would do the trick. Looking away from the remnant of the TV I shut my eyes. The door clicked closed.“Anything from Luca?” I asked. “Nothing.” Bella replied. “I'm still trying to get someone who was on scene.”“Shit.”“You don't think he actually got his brain blown out.” Matteo echoed the thoughts plaguing my mind. I opened my eyes, staring at the view behind me through my wide windows. The busy road downtown looked untouched. Lucky bastards.It was one thing to lose my men in a brawl but it another thing to lose one of my main men to a brawl like this. Shit, I didn't even know where to start or what to think. I swiveled to face them again. The door creaked open and in walked—stumbled

    Dante's POV I was feeling trigger happy again. But this time around I would probably do it. “Open the fucking box.” I ordered. “Sir?” The man at the other end of my office door paled. Some guys for a man who literally let that thing in here. Isabella pointed her gun straight at the man, her gaze unshaken. “You heard the boss, open the damn box.”Why the hell would a box have been delivered so very discreetly to my office building and why the fuck had I hired idiots who just brought it in without so much as a security check. I didn't know exactly what the fuck to be baffled by. Stupidity or audacity. Ne opened the box slowly. The white casing flashing against the lights in the room. “The fuck is in it?” “A phone.” What the fuck?He panicked suddenly. “Hey, get your act together what the fuck is wrong with you?”He mumbled some words under his breath.
