Dante's POV

I wasn’t hungry. That was the first thing I told myself when Chelsea walked in with that tray like she was carrying peace offerings into a war zone. The smell hit me before I even looked at her , it was spiced rice and something grilled. My stomach tightened, traitorous as ever, but I ignored it.

“I’m not hungry,” I said flatly.

Chelsea didn’t move. She stood there, holding the tray like it weighed more than it should, her eyes fixed on me as if she could will me into changing my mi

    Dante's POV “His condition is critical,” The doctor said. “We’re doing everything we can.”Everything we can.I hated that sentence. It sounded like hope, but it felt like a warning.I opened my mouth to ask another question …something, anything that might make this make sense but before I could speak, the doors behind the doctor swung open with a sharp, metallic sound.A nurse stepped out.Her eyes darted around before landing on the doctor. She didn’t speak at first, but the urgency in her face said enough. Then she lifted her hand and beckoned him over.Something in my chest tightened.The doctor frowned slightly. “Excuse me,” he said, already turning toward her.They spoke in hushed voices, too low for me to catch the words but I didn’t need to hear them. I saw it in the way the nurse’s shoulders stiffened. In the way the doctor’s expression shifted, just for a second, before he smoothed it over again.That was it. That was the moment something broke inside me.“What happened?” I

  • Contracted To The Col-Hearted Bilionaire   Chapter 110

    Dante's POV I didn’t remember the drive to the hospital.One moment I had been gripping the steering wheel so hard my knuckles turned pale, the next I was already pushing through the glass doors, the sharp scent of antiseptic hitting me like a slap. My chest felt tight, like the air inside me had nowhere to go. Everything around me moved too fast and too slow at the same time.“Dante!”I turned at the sound of my name. Chelsea stood near the reception desk, her hair slightly disheveled, her face pale and drawn. Relief flickered across her expression when she saw me, but it didn’t last long.“Come with me,” she said quickly, already turning. “He just woke up.”My heart slammed hard against my ribs. “He what?”“He woke up,” she repeated, walking faster. “At least… for a moment.”I followed her down the long hallway, my footsteps echoing against the polished floor. Every second stretched unbearably. I wanted to run, but my legs felt heavy, like they were dragging me backward even as I fo

    Dante's POV I nodded, forcing myself to turn away from the door.Each step down the hallway felt heavier than the last. When I reached the exit, I stopped, glancing back over my shoulder.Chelsea was still there, standing outside Reed’s room, watching me. She gave me a small nod.I pushed the door open and stepped out into the cool night air.It hit me immediately, sharp, grounding. For a moment, I just stood there, breathing.Then I walked to my car, my movements slow, mechanical. As I got in and started the engine, my hands tightened on the steering wheel.Something wasn’t right. I couldn’t shake off the feeling.It clung to me the entire drive home, creeping into my thoughts, whispering at the edges of my mind. There were so many things. Reed's accident was planned and I was so sure of it, I really needed to do something as fast as possible.By the time I pulled into my driveway, my chest felt tight again.I turned off the engine but didn’t move and then suddenly my phone buzzed.I f

    Dante's POV “You need to stop.”Chelsea’s voice cut through everything.I let out a dry laugh. “Stop what?”“This,” she said simply, gesturing vaguely toward me, like my entire existence in that moment was the problem. “Talking yourself into a hole you won’t get out of.”I looked away, staring at the sterile white floor. “You don’t get it.”“No,” she replied immediately, stepping closer, her voice still calm but firmer now. “You don’t get it.”That made me look at her. There was no softness in her eyes, no pity just something steady and unshakable.“It wasn’t your fault, Dante,” she continued. “Reed getting shot had nothing to do with you.”I shook my head instinctively. “If I had just—”“No.” She cut me off sharply this time. “Don’t do that. Don’t start rewriting what happened to fit whatever guilt you’re trying to carry.”I swallowed hard, my throat tightening. “I was there, Chelsea. I saw it. I could’ve—”“What?” she pressed. “Jumped in front of the bullet? Predicted it? Controlle

    Dante's POV “What exactly did he say?” I asked.She blinked. “What?”“His words,” I said, stepping closer. “Tell me exactly what he said.”She hesitated, thinking. “He said… he felt like someone had been watching him for days. Not just following but also watching.”A chill ran down my spine.“Did he describe anyone?” I asked.“No,” she said. “He said he never saw their face. Just… glimpses. A shadow. Always gone when he turned to look.”I clenched my fists. That wasn’t random.That wasn’t the kind of vague threat we usually dealt with. That was something else. Something deliberate.“You should have told me,” I said quietly.“I know,” she whispered.I turned slowly.Reed’s wife stood a few feet away from me. Her eyes were red, her face drained, but her voice—her voice was steady. My jaw tightened. “If you had told me he was being followed—”“Oh, don’t you dare,” she snapped, stepping closer. “Don’t you dare put that on me.”“I could have done something!” I shot back. “I could have sent

When I didn’t, she sighed and walked closer, setting it down carefully on the table beside me.“Fine,” she muttered.I expected her to take it back. She didn’t.Instead, she crossed her arms and stared at me,I frowned. “What?”“You know,” she began, dragging out the words, “I went through a lot to make that.”I didn’t respond.“A lot,” she repeated, louder this time. “Especially after you already know I don’t like cooking.”That earned her a glance.She was pouting now. Actually pouting. He
