Mark’s POV

Mark woke up before his alarm. That alone told him something was wrong.

He lay still for a moment, staring at the ceiling, listening to the loud hum of the air conditioner, low-key wondering why it was that loud. His house was calm. Too calm. The kind of calm that usually came before bad news.

His phone buzzed on the bedside table and he reached for it without rushing.

“Yes?” he said.

“Sir,” his campaign manager, Leon, said on the other end, voice tight. “We have a situation.”

Mark sat up. “Talk to me.”

“The east-side storage unit,” Leon continued. “The one registered under the Gas company. It was vandalized overnight.”

Mark frowned. “Vandalized how?”

There was a pause from Leon’s end. His Campaign Manager, Leon has always been a person who got easily affected by anything at all especially when it had to do with a matter that got to Mark. He probably might be thinking of what Mark would say to him once they see each other in person.

“Fire,” Leon said. “It seemed controlled,

    Iris’ POVThe door swung open, revealing a long conference room filled with people already seated around the table. Iris paused for half a second before stepping in and shutting the door behind her. The air conditioner hit her skin immediately, cold enough to raise goosebumps along her arms. She swallowed, her throat suddenly dry, and took a steady breath.Today was D-day.Every lie she was going to tell would be told today. Every arrangement she needed had already been made for this exact moment. Every document that could back her words had been sorted, verified, and locked in place. There was no room for mistakes. No room for panic.She hated that she had to do this.Clearing Dante’s name should have felt right. Instead, it felt like swallowing broken glass. Still, she was here, and she was going to finish it.Hugh noticed her immediately.He flashed her a smile that made her fingers tighten around the file in her hand. For a split second, she imagined slamming it into his face and

  • DARING THE MAFIA DON MR DANTE   Chapter 31 – The Wrong Answer

    Dante’s POV By the time Dante got back to one of his safe houses, the pain in his shoulder had settled into something dull and manageable. It wasn’t the pain that bothered him. It was the unanswered question sitting in his head, refusing to stay quiet. Someone had tried to kill him. Not carelessly or even emotionally. But cleanly. That meant planning. Money. Information. He stepped inside the house and locked the door behind him, dropping his jacket on the chair by the wall. The room was a bit dark due to the window blinds that hasn’t been adjusted. It was also quiet, and felt familiar. One of the few places where he could think without interruption but ever since he married Iris, he had maintained staying at the penthouse because of her. His phone buzzed, and he answered it. “Where are you?” Luca asked. “Safe,” Dante replied. “Where are you?” “On my way. Ten minutes.” “Good,” Dante said. “Bring Marco.” There was a pause. “That bad?” “Yes.” He ended the call and moved to t

  • DARING THE MAFIA DON MR DANTE   Chapter 30– Open Season

    Dante’s POVDante left the building without looking back. He actually didn’t need to.Whatever he had gone there to say had died the moment Iris walked past him and told him not to speak. He stepped into his car with his face locked in its usual calm, the kind that fooled people into thinking nothing ever touched him.The door shut, and he started the engine. He had come alone, thus he didn’t hesitate to drive off.Iris’s face kept pushing its way back into his thoughts, the way her mouth had trembled when she told him not to cross the line, the way she had walked away before he could explain himself.He tightened his grip on the steering wheel and forced his focus back to the road. Feelings had no place here. He reminded himself of that as he always did. Feelings were weaknesses, and weaknesses got men like him killed.That was when his instincts flared.The car ahead of him slowed, not abruptly, but just enough to feel wrong. At the same time, another vehicle slipped into his side m

  • DARING THE MAFIA DON MR DANTE   Chapter 29 – Misplaced Territory

    Dante’s POVDante hadn’t planned to come to the firm like this.If he was being honest with himself, he hadn’t planned to come at all.For days, he had been deliberate about staying away from Iris. Not because he didn’t want her. That was the problem. Wanting her had started to feel like a weakness, and Dante Moretti did not survive by entertaining weaknesses.He had been distant on purpose. Cold on purpose. Avoidant because he needed control over something before it controlled him.Feelings made men stupid. Men like him didn’t get the luxury of stupidity.Still, when he heard Mark was there, inside Iris’s office, something ugly stirred in his chest. He didn’t panic. Neither did he want to die of jealousy. But then it was something darker. Something territorial.That was his wife. On paper or not.He pushed the door open without knocking.Mark was standing too close to Iris’s desk.Too comfortable.Too familiar.Dante’s eyes went to Iris first. She was standing, tense, her jaw set, her

    Iris’ POVPreviously Iris had been staring at her screen for almost ten minutes without reading a single word.The document in front of her was open, the cursor blinking patiently, but her mind was somewhere else entirely. It had been there since morning. Since the image refused to leave her head.The shirt.Dark blue. Faded around the collar. Slight tear at the sleeve seam.She knew that shirt and she knew it too well.Eleven years ago, her father had owned one just like it. Not similar. Not close. The exact same one. She remembered because she used to tease him about it, telling him he wore it too often. She remembered how it smelled faintly of cologne. She remembered folding it after laundry when she was still young enough to think her family was unbreakable.And now, one of Dante’s men had barged into her room wearing it.When he rushed in earlier to check on her with a heavy breath and two eyes at alert, she noticed it immediately. Her heart had skipped before she could stop it
