HIS BUTTERFLY (BETWEEN TWO DONS) CHAPTER FIFTY SEVEN
“EVEN IF YOU ARE FIRE, I'M READY TO DROWN IN YOUR FLAMES.”SOFIA.I'm walking toward the back rooms. The area where the fighters go after their matches. I shouldn't be back here. Shouldn't be seeking him out.But I need to see him. Need to know he's okay.The hallway is dimmer, quieter. I can hear water running. Voices in the distance.There's a door slightly ajar at the end of the hall. Light spilling out.I move closer, staying in the shadows.And then I see him.Dante is at a sink, washing blood off his hands. His hair is wet—he must have showered. Water droplets are running down his bare back.His scarred back.With FARFALLA tattooed down his spine in elegant script.My name. My nickname. Permanently etched into his skin.I swallow hard, my eyes tracing the letters. Tracing the scars around them. Evidence of everything he survived. Everything he endured.For me.He's drying off now, his movements mechanical. Efficient.Then I see it.The syringe.He picks it up from the counter, e

“DO MISSED ME LIKE I MISSED YOU?”SOFIA.I blink. "What? No, I can't—""Why not?""I don't really like violence that much." The admission comes out quieter than I intended."Oh, sister-in-law, you're so sweet!" Luca laughs. "But you know, no one's at home. Not Marco, not Dante. Nico and I are going to stay out pretty late. You'd be here all alone." He leans in conspiratorially. "Wouldn't it be better for your safety to come with us? And Isabella's with the nanny, so everything would be alright. Come on. Live a little.""Luca—""Please?" He puts on an exaggerated puppy-dog expression. "I promise I'll make sure nothing happens to you. And if you hate it, we can leave immediately. Scout's honor.""Were you ever a scout?""Absolutely not. But the sentiment stands.""Fine." The word is out before I can stop it. "But if I want to leave, we leave.""Deal!" Luca pumps his fist. "You won't regret this, I promise. Well, you might. But it'll be an adventure either way!"I grab a jacket—a black l

“DO YOU LIKE-LIKE HIM?”Sofia's POVI haven't seen Dante all day.Which should be a good thing. I'm the one who's been trying to stay away, trying to maintain distance, trying to pretend that what happened in the warehouse didn't change everything.But instead of relief, I feel uneasy.Where is he? What's he doing? Is he okay?I hate that I care. Hate that I'm looking for him in every room I enter. Hate that his absence feels like a physical ache.The evening passes slowly. I supervise the staff as they prepare dinner, even though my appetite is nonexistent. I eat with Isabella, listening to her chatter about her day while my mind is elsewhere.After dinner, I take her upstairs for her bath and bedtime routine. She's extra clingy tonight, wanting me to stay and sing to her.So I do. I sit on the edge of her bed and sing the lullabies my mother used to sing to me. The Italian ones about stars and dreams and faraway places.Isabella's eyes grow heavy, her small hand wrapped around my fi

“ A BURNT CHILD LOVES THE FIRE.”(FLASH BACK–SEVEN YEARS AGO)DANTE"Fuck you." I spit at his feet. "I'll kill you for this. Both of you. I swear to God, I'll make you suffer for—"My father pulls something from his jacket.A photograph.Of Sofia.Walking to class. Laughing with a friend. Completely unaware she's being watched.My blood turns to ice."Six men," my father says calmly. "Posted in her neighborhood. Watching her. Waiting for my signal.""No." The word comes out broken."If you leave this place before you're ready—before you've become what we need you to be—I make one phone call. And she dies." He tucks the photo back in his jacket. "It'll be quick. Painless. She won't even know it's coming. And it'll be all because of your disobedience."I'm going to kill him. I'm going to rip his throat out with my bare hands."What do you even see in her?" My mother's voice is disgusted.My father opens his gutter of a mouth and supports her "She's common. Unsuitable. Once you're ready,

“I WOULD TAKE A BULLET FOR YOU JUST TO PROVE MY LOVE”(FLASH BACK SEVEN YEARS AGO– CONTINUATION)DANTE.When I wake up, everything hurts.My head is pounding. My body feels like it's been hit by a truck. And I'm lying on something hard and uncomfortable.I force my eyes open.Stone walls. A small barred window high up. A metal bunk bed with a thin mattress that smells like mold and blood.And chains. Heavy chains on my wrists, bolted to the wall.This isn't a hospital.This is one of my father's properties. One I've only heard about in whispers. The one in Colombia where he sends people who disappoint him.El Infierno del Diablo. The Devil's Hell.A training compound, they call it. But everyone knows the truth. It's where people go to break. Where 99% of them don't make it back.And my father sent me here."Ah, you're awake."I look up.He's standing in the doorway. My father. Giuseppe Valentino. Looking perfectly composed in his expensive suit, like he didn't just kidnap his own son.

“WHAT IS LONGING IF NOT MADNESS, WITH A RIBBON AROUND IT’S THROAT?”(FLASH BACK 7 YRS AGO)Dante's POV - Age 21She's sleeping in my arms.Sofia. My Sofia. The most beautiful thing I've ever seen.Her dark hair is spread across my chest, her breathing slow and even. One of her hands is resting over my heart, like even in sleep she needs to feel it beating.I can't stop looking at her. Can't stop running my fingers through her hair. Can't stop marveling at the fact that this incredible woman chose me.Tonight was... perfect. More than perfect. She gave herself to me completely, and I gave her everything I had in return.I love her.God, I love her so much it terrifies me.I've never felt this way about anyone. Never wanted anyone the way I want her. Never imagined a future with anyone until her.She's it for me. The one. The only one.I'm thinking about how to tell my parents. They won't like it—Sofia isn't from one of the old families, doesn't have the right connections, isn't "suitab

INTERLUDE (MARCO’S POV)“PLEASE STAY…”MARCO.I make it to the hallway before my composure completely cracks.Engaged.Antonio is engaged.To a woman.The words keep echoing in my head, each repetition feeling like a knife to the gut.I've been careful. So fucking careful for years. Keeping my dist

“DON’T JUDGE OTHER BECAUSE THEY SIN DIFFERENTLY FROM YOU.”SOFIA.I step out of the coat room on shaky legs, my body still humming with unfulfilled need, my mind screaming at me for being so reckless.And there he is.Marco.Standing in the hallway. Holding two glasses of champagne. His expression
