AMARA

True to his words, Dante had wasted no time in getting us packed and ready for the trip. Most of it had been handled by his second in command, Cassian. I’d barely gotten a single word from the man, save for the grunt when he’d gestured for me to get into the jet.

Now I was about to enter a whole new domain.

A new life, some place different from where my father’s words were absolute. The more I tried to calm down, the harder it was to forget Philip’s unconscious body in my head.

“Amara,”

    AMARATrue to his words, Dante had wasted no time in getting us packed and ready for the trip. Most of it had been handled by his second in command, Cassian. I’d barely gotten a single word from the man, save for the grunt when he’d gestured for me to get into the jet.Now I was about to enter a whole new domain.A new life, some place different from where my father’s words were absolute. The more I tried to calm down, the harder it was to forget Philip’s unconscious body in my head.“Amara,”Dante took the seat in front of him. I sent him an unamused glare. “There are literally so many other seats you could have taken. Why this one?”“My jet,” He gestured at the place with his finger. “My rules.”“Fuck you.” I grumbled, turning back to the window I’d been staring out of. The whole scenery felt like a mockery itself.This should have been me and Philip. On some plain far away from New York. It should have been us for crying out loud.Instead, I’d somehow gotten myself into an engagem

    DANTE“What the actual fuck, Dante?”Cassian wasted no time and spun up on me as soon as I entered the house. The underboss did not look the slightest bit happy, eyes searching through mine for some sort of explanation.“Oi, calm down. You have questions, yes? Glaring at me won’t give you the answers you want.” I fixed him a pointed look.He ran a hand through his hair in frustration. “Why did you decide to get engage to her? A fucking Vitale. And you didn’t tell me. No warnings whatsoever.”“It wasn’t planned.” I snarled back, making my way towards the island and grabbing a glass. I’d have pulled out a cigarette but I wasn’t the smoking type. What I needed was something to keep my mouth busy through Cassian’s rant.He followed right after me. “Since when did you things without planning and thinking it through?”I grabbed a bottle of negroni, helping myself to a glass. “Since I stumbled upon an asset.”I finally turned to Cassian, noting the look of frustration in his eyes. It had all

    DANTEI’ve had a knack for being impulsive in the oddest moments. As a child, it didn’t matter if I had to jump into a pool just to get my lucky coin, or step onto the road in pursuit of my dog, ‘Lucky’. I’d leap before even giving it a thought.So, when Amara had dangled that dangerous proposal in front of me, it all felt too good to be true. A fake proposal? How the hell would that solve anything? I’d have Viktor on my ass and for sure, her brothers definitely wouldn’t sit by idle.But she was right about one thing. There was a lot to gain by agreeing to this relationship. For one, I could get all the info I need to ruin the Vitale family once and for all. Viktor was sure to have some dirt on him, something I could use against him.And Amara would lead me to it.She still seemed to be at a loss for words, eyes lingering on the ring on her finger.“Oh, my goodness.”“I can’t believe it.”I turned to the onlookers, who were now taking pictures and gushing at us. Amara finally snapped

    AMARA“This has to be a joke.”Except it wasn’t. When I’d been silent in the face of Dante’s question, he’d quietly started the car and started driving off. At first, I thought he was lying when he said he’d take us to one of his safehouses. I didn’t think he’d actually go through with it.Dante turned to me. “And you’re the clown.”I sent him another glare but he didn’t seem affected by it. I’d sent him quite enough this time around. He stopped to discuss something with the security before driving into the compound.“Why did you bring me here?” I folded my arms.He didn’t bother, simply stopping the car in front of the house. Then he turned to me. “Mind getting your ass out of the car?”I flinched back a little before narrowing my eyes on him. It was hard keeping my hands in place. I wanted to just strangle him at the moment. Like having my father on my tail wasn’t bad enough. I had to be given solace by none other than Dante DeLaurentis a.k.a the Devil’s apprentice. Damn it.Withou

    DANTEThere weren’t a lot of things that could piss me off. One thing I prided myself on, was the amount of self-control I always had, regardless of the situation.Which was why I didn’t understand the reason for that irritation that wouldn’t crawling underneath my skin.“What do you mean you let him get away?” I growled into my phone.“Look, our men are already on his tail. They’ve already pinpointed his location as we speak. You’ll have him back in those chains in twenty—no—fifteen minutes tops.” Cassian, my second in command, explained.I cursed underneath my breath. “Fine then. More than fifteen minutes, and somebody’s having their dick cut off.”“Ai, ai, captain.” Cassian drawled.I ended the call without a second thought. Bastard. I could basically hear the smirk in his voice. In any case, I trusted Cassian to get the job done. He was as reliable as they came and loyal to a fault.My main focus now would be on getting to my jet. I had a couple of meetings that I’d held out for l

    AMARA“What?”“Runaway with me.” He repeated, voice filled with a certainty that chilled me to the core.I bit my lip, letting the thought roll in my head over and over again. Run away with him? The idea sounded interesting, but it wasn’t so easy. My father’s web stretched to each and every part of the city. And what if I did manage to escape by some miracle? He could easily find me with the flick of a finger.“Amara?” Philip’s voice broke through my thoughts.“Sorry. Zoned out a little there.” I mumbled. “I—I don’t know. You really think we can pull it off?”Philip blew out a breath. “It won’t be easy. But I know we can pull it off.”“My father—You know connected he is. I don’t know if we can do this.” I bit my lip. Thoughts of how my father’s goons would easily close in on us already filling my head.“Hey, hey.” His voice was always grounding. “Don’t let all that fear seep into your head. We can do it, okay? Action is the only way to combat fear. What I need you to do for me is grab
