I have to admit, this right here scares me. Emiliana with someone she's known all her life, someone she's familiar with scares me more than I thought it would. After spending two hours looking for her, I got a message from an unknown number with only one word. Climax. It took me more time to figure out what it meant but by the time I got there, they'd left. The owner is under Calderone so I pretended to be her guard Danillo and asked to see the footage. The second I mentioned the boss's daughter and the word kidnapping, he couldn't bring up the night's footage fast enough. Seeing Emiliana so close to one of the twins felt like a punch to the gut. I knew she was mad at me but I didn't think she'd turn to someone else. I saw the way she looked at him. For a split second, I thought she was going to kiss him. If he was a stranger, it would have been different. I wouldn't be so worried because it would be a meaningless fuck to get back at me. But someone she trusted? I regretted not lettin
"I knew from the beginning you were set up" he starts, looking cautious. As if he's expecting me to pounce on him or something. I'm tempted to do it but I want to hear everything he has to say "I wanted to use the photos to my advantage so I played along with whoever framed you while making a deal with Romero in secret" "I see" I don't see it. Why the fuck wouldn't he just tell me that? But as always, before I can ask, he answers, "I needed your emotions to be real. For everyone to think that we were fighting and that our marriage was on the rocks" "Did you need an entire week to make that deal?" "No. I spent the rest of the time looking for the guy who tried to kill you. There was no connection between him and my enemies so it took some time to get him to talk" I expect him to go on but he looks away. "And?" I prompt, knowing I won't like whatever he's about to say. "It was Leo and my mother. They paid him to do it and added sedatives in the security's coffee" "I'm not e
She's smiling. Her eyes are on the ground, and most of her face is hidden by her hair but I can see she's smiling. Or trying not to. When they left, I was sure Emiliana was going to scratch his eyes out. I kind of hoped she'd kick his ass and send him packing. Our parents are banking on him fucking up so they can swoop in and take her back. They even discussed about it. Agreeing that they could compromise with her demands if it meant getting her away from Vernetti. They think that way because they truly don't know the real Emiliana. I'm sure she'll fight tooth and nail before coming back home. She looks all innocent and angelic but when she's mad, I swear she becomes someone else. It's as if there's a switch inside her. Elena calls her sweet Emiliana and bitch Emiliana. Right now, she's reverted back to sweet Emiliana and it's all because of Vernetti. Like our parents, I was against their marriage at the beginning because I thought he only wanted to use her. Now I'm not so sure. He
"Okay spill. What's with the secret smiles? You're acting like someone who just had a dozen orgasms" Elena says. With the excuse of getting dessert, she pulled me to the kitchen and I came willingly because I'm still on cloud nine."It's better than that" looking over my shoulder, I check to make sure he didn't follow us then whisper, "He said he loves me" "Who?" "Are you dumb? Dante of course. Who else?""It could have been Eugenio. I thought he finally grew some balls" I'm taken aback by her comment. So him having a crush on me is true? How did I not know this? "You knew about that?" "Dude, if you didn't know about it then you're blind. Anyway, how did Dante say it? I bet you had to kick him in the balls to get it out of him. He doesn't strike me as someone who would say that willingly" I look out the window to where the men are sitting. Angelo, Sergio, and Eugenio are sitting on one end while Dante is at the other end. My eyes go to Eugenio who, I realize
She looks stunned so I kiss her again. Pushing her back and covering her body with mine. I don't expect her to say those words back. Not now or ever. I'm content with just loving her. I've known her for far longer than she's known me. I spent a year dreaming about having my cock inside her then I'd wake up and jerk off to the images I'd dreamt about. There are times when I wake up expecting all this to be a dream. The wedding, our life, it's still unbelievable. But I'm slowly getting used to the fact that she's my wife now. And I am never going to let her go. I settle between her legs, thrusting inside her, this time making love to her slowly. Enjoying the feeling of having her around me. I don't think I'll ever tire of being with her like this. We come together and she falls asleep right after. She sleeps like an angel, her chest rising and falling in a rhythm. Like every other time, I get out of bed and grab my pants. Reaching inside the pocket to take out my phone, and snap anothe
"Two things. You know how our customers have been losing their shit and attacking people around them?" Sal says entering my office "Well, it's because of a new drug that just hit the market. No one knows where it came from but it's been making rounds" "Except whoever's selling them is only doing it at The Cloud. Why?" "That's where my second theory comes in. I have this nagging suspicion that Cecilio might have something to do with it. My guess is, he's trying to discredit us and once that happens, we'll go out of business" That fucker. His plan would have succeeded when I was still new and hadn't proven myself. But right now, the most that can happen is the club going out of business. While I enjoy running this place, it doesn't make up even a quarter of the money I bring in. I've invested in legal and illegal businesses and saved money in more than five offshore accounts. His attempt at trying to hit me where he thinks will hurt the most is pathetic.
"Can we not do this? Or can you do it alone? I'll wait for you here" Dante laces his fingers with mine and brings my hand to his mouth. Kissing the back. It doesn't do shit to calm my nerves but I don't bother telling him that. "I want you to be present" "She's just going to hate me more than she already does" "Why does that matter?" "Dante, I'm trying here. I honestly don't want to fight with your mother or fuel her hatred for me" "I love you. That's all you need to care about" "You believe that. Don't you?" He smirks and exits the car. Rounding the hood to open my door. I wish I didn't have to go in there and confront his family. I don't do confrontations unless it's absolutely necessary. I'm perfectly fine with ignoring them for the rest of my life. But Dante insists we have to do this so here we are. I know I'm going to hate every second of it, especially since those two already despise me. I swing my legs out but remain sitting. Hoping he'll tell me
"No" "What do you mean no? You haven't tried them yet" He huffs "I'm not wearing shorts" "Why not? And if you say they're not manly I will kick you in the balls" "You can't threaten our future kids like that" "Dante" "I'll take the jeans" he grabs the black pair of jeans I bought him and a t-shirt. I went shopping with Elena earlier today and decided to get him casual clothes for our impromptu date. I knew he wouldn't agree to the khaki shorts I bought. But the plan was for him to pick a lesser evil, which to him, are the jeans "They're not as bad as I thought they'd be" he says a moment later walking out."I knew you'd... Holy cow, can you turn around so I can see how they fit your ass" he chuckles turning "That's it. We are getting an entire wardrobe of casual clothes for you. Strike a pose or don't" he looks good enough either way. I quickly snap a photo of that delectable ass then hand him a box of Nikes "Shoes to go with the outfit" "You thought of
