Dangerous Melodies Chapter 56: Flatline Reprise
DANTEMy phone buzzed with an incoming message.I froze, my entire world narrowing to the image on the screen. Marisol lay lifeless on the ground, her beauty ruined by the cruel precision of a gunshot wound to the head.The roar that ripped out of me was raw, primitive. Fury and grief collided in a sound that filled the mansion and shook its walls.I dropped to my knees, the phone slipping from my hand as my fingers tangled in my hair. I yanked hard, as if one kind of pain could silence another.My scream echoed through the corridors.It didn’t take long before Maria and Felix came running, fear etched into their faces. They followed the sound, hearts already braced for the worst.They burst into the music room and found me there, crumpled on the floor, my body heaving with sobs I couldn’t contain. My hands still gripped my hair. I couldn’t stop staring, couldn’t pull my eyes away from the horror I’d just seen.“Dante!” Felix dropped to his knees beside me. “What is it? What happened?”
Dangerous Melodies Chapter 55: The Dark Interlude
DANTEI stood frozen in the silence, the heavy emptiness of the room pressing in around me.Then a faint glimmer caught my eye, a flash of light bouncing off something small on the piano. My heart stilled, dread and hope twisting together in my chest.I took a shaky step forward, eyes locked on the glint until the shape sharpened into something unmistakable.There, resting on the polished surface, was her wedding ring.I closed my eyes for a moment, and she filled my mind, Marisol walking down the aisle on our wedding day, sunlight catching in her hair, her face lit with joy. She’d been breathtaking. The most beautiful woman I’d ever seen. I had promised to protect her.And now, we were divorced.My hand hovered over the ring before I picked it up, rolling it between my fingers. Cold metal pressed into my palm. It wasn’t a promise anymore. Just a reminder of what I broke. I’d told myself it was necessary, that pushing her away had been my only choice.I felt I had to do it. Believed I
Dangerous Melodies Chapter 54: Solo Arrangement
MARISOLI lay on the bed in my Los Angeles studio apartment, staring up at the ceiling fan as it spun lazily overhead.The blades moved in slow circles, mirroring the sluggish pace of my thoughts.The silence pressed in, nothing like the hum of life at Dante’s estate.Here, the only warmth came from memories, curling into the corners, filling the space with a loneliness that felt closer every hour.I missed Mr. Buttons, his quiet little breaths steady beside me.I missed Maria, who had felt like a mother to me, always ready with a soft word or that look that said she already knew what I needed.But mostly, I missed Dante.The weight of his arms around me.The way everything chaotic in the world seemed to hush when he held me.Now he was gone, and I was free.No more expectations. No more rules.I’d spent my life controlled, first by my father, then by Dante.Now there was no one left pulling the strings.And instead of feeling free, I felt untethered. Lost.The apartment wasn’t much. A
Dangerous Melodies Chapter 53: The Rest is Silence
DANTEThe next few days in London blurred into a stream of meetings, but I couldn’t focus.Client conversations ran together as I nodded along, my thoughts stuck on Marisol.Does she hate me?The question clung to me, relentless.By the end of the first week, I was ready to go home.I’d thought distance would clear my head, but it only deepened the ache of losing her.I cut the trip short, hoping I could see her before it was too late to make things right.After my final meeting, I returned to my hotel suite, exhaustion dragging at every step.The luxurious decor and sweeping view of London’s skyline felt cold and sterile.Empty. Like me.Regret seeped into every corner until the room felt even colder.Without thinking, I pulled out my laptop and connected to the CCTV feed from the estate.It was just to check on security, I told myself, even as my heart pounded for a different reason.I need to see her. Just a glimpse.The feed flickered to life, showing the familiar rooms and hallway
Dangerous Melodies Chapter 52: Echo of a Love Song
MARISOLThe next morning, with my bags packed and Mr. Buttons safely in Maria’s care, I made my way to the music room.It was filled with memories of me and Dante, the air heavy with the scent of polished wood and lingering notes. I ran my fingers along the cool surface of the piano, a bittersweet smile tugging at my lips.Taking a deep breath, I sat down, pulled out my phone, and began recording.I sang the song I had written for him. Words that poured from my heart in the quiet moments after everything fell apart.Farewell My LoveI can’t stay where your heart won’t go.I gave you my heart, no regret,Left every piece where your silence met.I tried to love the man you hide,But you locked the door and stayed inside.You were my home, my safest place,The world fell quiet when I saw your face.But love can't grow where walls won’t fall.I reached for you, you felt nothing at all.Farewell, my love. Farewell, my friend.I thought we'd make it to the end.You changed my world, then set
Dangerous Melodies Chapter 51: Ballad of a Shattered Heart
MARISOLA few moments later, I stood in the doorway, my chest tight with equal parts curiosity and caution.I hadn’t seen much of Dante lately, and his avoidance had become painfully obvious.The moment I stepped into the office, something in the air shifted. Heavy. Like something long buried had finally clawed its way to the surface.What could he possibly want?We’d been distant for weeks, barely speaking. Now he wanted a meeting?A chill rippled through me as fear tightened low in my gut.What if this is the end of us? If there’s even an “us” left to lose."You wanted to talk," I said, my voice barely above a whisper as I closed the door behind me.This is it. The moment that either breaks us or heals the wreckage we've become.His face gave nothing away, but his eyes, God, his eyes, held the weight of everything we hadn’t said.For the first time in weeks, we faced each other without avoidance as a shield."Please, have a seat," he said, calm and distant.I walked to the chair oppo
