last update Huling Na-update: 2025-12-06 00:29:55
I intended to wait until the next morning when Nero would leave the mansion. However, I didn't expect that just thirty minutes after I had spoken to Marcel, the sounds of hurried footsteps and movement outside my bedroom would catch my attention.

Raising my head I rubbed my bleary eyes, listening to the sounds. My brows furrowed; what had happened this time?

I stealthily made my way out of the bedroom, listening to voices drift in and out of my periphery. Soon I could make out the words.

“...gotten them out of the warehouse yet. Another hit from Angelo's people is imminent, Don,”

It was none other than that bastard Tony. I made a face, while simultaneously processing the words he said. Warehouse?

Is this about the goods that Nero had diverted from Angelo previously, or something else?

Nero’s voice came, smooth yet there was a roughened edge to it. He had been sleeping too.

“Fine. I’ll go along with Matteo this time, no one else.” He spoke with finality.

  • His Serpent's Kiss   Chapter 39: Dante

    Nero had left again in the middle of the night.My body was marked with bruises, ones I had to cover with a long-sleeved black turtleneck sweater. Thank heavens it wasn’t overly hot today, I thought. And yet, I felt almost relieved. This was a far better bargain than simply using my body to get Angelo some information.If this would protect Marcel, and get him away from these people, then I would do so without a doubt.It wasn’t love, it was a sense of responsibility for him, and gratitude for his friendship. I wasn’t willing to sacrifice anyone but myself for my goals.Marcus found me as I sat in the living room after a quiet breakfast, relishing in the emptiness. He held a toy dragon in his hand, blue with the wings flapping as he ran to me.I caught him just as he was about to hit the edge of the couch.“Play with me, uncle Dante?” Marcus asked, his wide eyes blinking adorably. Too innocent to refuse him.I sighed. I had thought rest was imminent, only to forget this bundle of jo

  • His Serpent's Kiss   Chapter 38: Nero

    For two days, I kept Dante at my feet like a dog.He was more attentive than ever in these past two days, and I paid attention to it, and hated it.Even as he had become so obedient, it was clear he was only doing it for that assassin, Marcel.It grated on my nerves. Knowing that man had an effect on Dante was enough to make me want to kill him with my bare hands.But I wasn’t going to, not yet. Because if Dante was this obedient to me now, how much more would he be if I had Marcel in my hands as a bargaining chip?I couldn’t sleep, not for the first time in the past few days. I listened to the clock tick in the background, every second precise, every minute without a single misstep.Dante slept soundly beside me, his breaths warm on my arm. I had been nothing short of cruel tonight, just like the last couple of nights.Through the dim lighting I saw his body marked with various fresh bruises, each one of them from me.

  • His Serpent's Kiss   Chapter 37: Dante

    Marcel had left an hour earlier. Of course, that was after he’d come to cause trouble again.I swiped my hand over my lips again, recalling the kiss. I shouldn’t have let him do that.Just because Nero might not have seen him come around, didn't mean no one else had. And he was putting me in a difficult position.I sighed heavily and sat on the couch in the living room. The lights were off, save for a motion-detected light that went on and off with every movement I made. Though I refrained from venturing anywhere even in this large estate, the living room was surprisingly a cozy spot.The entrance door swung open before I knew it, and I raised my gaze expectantly to meet Tony’s. My brows furrowed.What was that tank doing here?“Where’s Nero?” I questioned, watching several men carry in a few boxes past the foyer and living room and deeper into the house.Tony, for one, regarded me with no small amount of frustration and anger on his face.“He’s not here,” he stated, as though that wa

  • His Serpent's Kiss   Chapter 36: Nero

    “All the goods are accounted for, Don,” Matteo bowed, sweat pouring down his face. He had been responsible for moving quite a large number of goods alongside Tony.“Hmm,” I nodded with a hum, surveying the empty warehouse. Angelo had somehow gotten word of the warehouse location, something I never expected would come so soon. It was infuriating how much he dared.“Have you investigated?” I demanded, voice cool. Matteo nodded, his eyes showing a brief glimpse of terror before he lowered his head.“It… it was one of the guys from the gas station nearby.” Matteo admitted before falling to his knees shakily. “I take responsibility, Don. Please show mercy. My mistakes will not be repeated.”My eyes narrowed.“You’re right,” I said, ire rising. I had not gotten much sleep in the past few nights and seeing the incompetence of the men I had in my employ never failed to incense me. “This mistake will never happen again.”He froze, beads of sweat still rolling down his chin.Tony stood by my

  • His Serpent's Kiss   Chapter 34: Dante

    It was almost midnight by the time Nero released me. I walked back barefoot, dizzy and achingly sore on every limb. He had been merciless, and the robe barely covered my naked body, hung in tatters. Sighing to myself, I wondered idly why I put myself through this. It wasn't simply because of my revenge, was it? If so, then was I not simply whoring myself out to him? I questioned myself, the reason why a part of me enjoyed the way Nero Vecchio treated me behind closed doors. I wasn't merely a victim, sometimes I gave as good as I got, using him to satisfy my pent up desires. And tonight I got something for my troubles, too. Today, I discovered a safe in the study, and better yet, the key used to open said safe. Nero was a man who thrived on paranoia. I didn't doubt that the safes in his bedroom and study both held items of importance. Even one safe would yield suitable information. This was what I needed. To retrieve the key would not be difficult, and perhaps it would give me
