Isabella POV

Together, we walked forward, side by side and I could barely breathe. My chest ached as so much guilt washed over me because I didn’t like being this close to him, being alone with a man like him. It seemed like I was doing something wrong, betraying the man I loved just by being a few inches away from this one.

“Where are you going to put it?” He asked as he walked beside me, over a foot taller than me. “In my living room.”

“I’m flattered.” He smiled in a genuine way, the kind tha

  • Desire And Revenge    Calling Conti Again

    Dante POVRex didn’t flinch rather is expression remained unchanged, as if he couldn't understand why I was getting so worked up over something that no longer involved me.“She’s not part of your life anymore, Dante, and it’s none of your concern what happens to her or her family. She’s got a new man now.”“None of my concern?” I repeated, struggling to believe he'd actually said that.He was right, technically. Isabella wasn't my responsibility anymore, especially after the way her family had treated me.They'd thrown me aside like trash and taken away the only woman who had ever brought real happiness into my life. They'd made it perfectly clear that I wasn't welcome in their world, no matter how much I loved her.They'd never treated me with respect or given me a real chance to prove myself. I should have hated them enough to want them all to suffer.I should have wanted them to experience the pain of losing someone they loved, just as I'd been forced to lose the woman who meant ev

  • Desire And Revenge    Shocking News

    Dante POVI walked into the bar, took a quick scan around, and found Rex standing at the bar with a glass of scotch. One elbow rested on the counter, and his eyes were focused on a brunette on the opposite side of the room with chiseled arms, battle scars, and an intense expression in his eyes, he was the kind of bad boy women were told to steer clear of but he was nothing compared to me.It was my first night out in months, and the second I stood inside that room, I felt several women look my way. I was in a black t-shirt and jeans, the material hugging the rigid muscles of my body.All I’d been doing for the past few months was lifting weights and working, so my muscles bulged to their maximum capacity. I made my way to the bar where he was standing and took the spot beside him.He tore his eyes away from the woman he was eyeing to look at me. His intense expression vanished when he saw me, his eyebrows rising up his forehead. His head cocked to the side slightly. “What are you doin

  • Desire And Revenge    Isabella Moved On

    Dante POVThe next day, I made the five-hour drive to Isabella city. I kept telling myself to turn around and forget this stupid idea but every time I actually considered turning back, my hand tightened on the wheel and my foot pressed against the gas.I wouldn’t find anything good here, nothing that would make me feel better about the relationship, but it might bring me closure. I wanted to know how she was, how her gallery was doing. I didn’t keep tabs on her when I left, knowing watching her would only haunt me.She had the protection of the Conti family, so she didn’t need me anyway. I’d been thinking about her every single day since we’d been apart, and I needed to know what her life was like now. Did she stay in the apartment above the gallery? Did she keep the gallery? Had she sold the car? Would I see her in the window of her shop, talking with a customer who’d just bought a painting? Would she wear a fake smile, hiding her inner turmoil? Or would her smile be real? Was she ov

  • Desire And Revenge    Dante Regret

    Dante POVRex turned his head to look at me, and he watched me with shrewd eyes. “If you were really ready to move on, you would have opened the door to Isabella art room by now but that door has remained shut for four months.”The second she was gone, I shut the door and never opened it again. I just pretended it didn’t exist, walking past it every single day without even glancing at it. I wanted it to disappear on its own. I should throw all her stuff away, but that seemed like a waste of all her supplies but I didn’t want to hold on to it either, not when I had no use for it. “I don’t know what to do with her shit, alright?”“Yes, you do. You just don’t want to do it and that tells me you aren’t over her.”“I’ll never really be over it, Rex.” I stared at my glass of water, which had been untouched since I poured it. Water didn’t taste like anything. It was like drinking air. It didn’t burn my throat or make me feel good. It was just pointless. “Well, you need to start. You need to

  • Desire And Revenge    Heartbroken Dante

    Dante POVI quit drinking eight weeks ago and I hated every second of it but losing booze was just as bad as losing Isabella.I poured myself into my work because I had nothing else to do with my time. I used to drink a lot, but now that it was taken away from me, I had nothing else to keep busy.The only reason I got clean in the first place was because I’d lost myself to the darkness and being sober somehow pulled me out from the idiotic crime I’d committed and I had much better control now.I was in Milan because I’d just come back from a long job. It was in Germany, and I had a long hit list. Rex was giving me lots of work because it made me feel better.The guys got to take time off work, and I got to keep busy and it worked for all of us but I couldn’t work all the time.The quiet times when I was alone were the worst. I never thought I would turn into a pussy like this, the kind of man that moped around after he lost a woman. I should have been over Isabella eight weeks after w

  • Desire And Revenge    The vase painting

    Isabella POVAdrian stood in front of my painting, his hands tucked casually into his pockets. He took his time with each piece, studying the colors and details beneath the bright art lights as though he wanted to understand every thought behind my work.We’d left our dinner in the middle of the room, the wine bottle nearly empty because we both shared a love for good wine. “I really like this one,” he said, tilting his head slightly as he studied the painting.I moved closer and stood beside him, my shoulder almost brushing against his arm. “You said that about the other one.”“Because I meant it.” He smiled before moving to the left, where another painting caught his attention.It was an image of a vase filled with delicate pink flowers, sitting on the counter of Victoria’s shop.Behind it were scattered tools, wide windows, and arrangements of flowers waiting to be sold. The vase was the focal point, but the painting was really about the flower shop itself, capturing the busy atmos
