DANI

God, I was so stupid. Naive and stupid.

Men in my life were a traitor, a liar, a manipulator, pretentious, and a murderer. Everyone was an asshole. What was I even thinking, falling for his lies and marrying him? He was a mafia.

Right, I shot him. I had to marry him, or my life would be forever indebted to him.

My life was a complete mess. Everything that had happened to me was all my fault. I shouldn’t be blaming everyone but myself.

I shouldn’t have gone to Russia. I should have just forgotten my father’s very existence. If he ever wanted me as his daughter, he should have shown himself a long time ago.

When I was a kid, I always wanted a father figure. My mother dated men, but I never felt closer to them.

I celebrated birthdays without a father. I rode my first bike without him, and on my first dance, and I finished college without him. I was fine until he showed up, pretending he cared.

My childhood memory flashed through my head, revealing the harsh reality. That I didn’t

    TERZOSon of bitches. Gunfires continued. If I could calculate, there were about half a dozen attackers. I was just glad everyone in the meeting had their own bodyguard and details. “Sandro, we’re under attack. I want you to send men to the casino. Shoot anyone who’s shooting at you, and you don’t recognize them. I want men to protect Dani’s convoy once they make it out of the building. They can be followed.”“Got it, boss. We’ll be there in ten.”“Inform Luca to get his man ready to protect the compound.”“He’s listening, sir.”“I’m here, boss. We’re getting ready as we speak,” Luca responded.“Good.” I hung up the phone and slipped it into my pocket. “We should split.”“Good idea. We will go to the east wing,” Vincent said. “If we make it out alive, I will call as soon as I can.” “We’ll go upstairs and use the exit ladder.” Gavin joined the Rosettis, and his men went ahead. “We’ll go west. North is too crowded. People might still be trapped in there. I don’t wanna get them in cr

    DANIMarco and Gio, with an automatic rifle, barged inside, which had me yelping.Gio gestured at Terzo. “We cleared the path, but I don’t know how many are there, and they are scattered in this building. Expect a reinforcement soon. You might need this.” He threw a rifle at Terzo and extra ammo. “Guys are waiting for you in the hallway.”“Girls? Magnus, let’s go.” Marco tipped his head.“Marco, please keep her safe.” Terzo’s words frightened me even more.“Yes, sir.”I turned to Terzo. My mind was in chaos, and I was terrified that he might get hurt or, worse, die. My throat cinched tight. “Be careful.”I didn’t expect him to hug me and kiss my forehead, and I almost cried at his gesture despite my stubbornness and how I treated him. I hugged him tight and realized he meant the world to me.“I’ll see you at home.”I nodded and looked at him one more time before I joined Celestina and Nicolette waiting for me.We made it to the hallway. The deafening silence was frightening. Our foots

    DANIJealousy bit at me. I played with the champagne glass to distract myself from not looking at Nicolette and Terzo. The way she looked at him with fire in her eyes, something stirred up inside me that I’d never felt before. A complex rush of inexplicable emotions rushed through me. It was more than what I felt with Katie. She didn’t even try hiding it. “What’s with Terzo and Nicolette?” I couldn’t help it. I needed to ask since Terzo never mentioned her name even once. And he was my husband. Somehow, I had the right to know about their past, or if it was already in the past.“Oh.” Celestina stole a glance at her with Terzo and Gaetano involved in deep conversations. “Papa was trying to arrange him for her. You know business alliances. Her father and Papa had known each other since they were boys.”“I see.” I ignored the tightness in my chest. “Were they in a relationship before?”“Them?” She studied my face as if deciding whether to tell me the truth or not. “Sometimes they met a

    TERZOMy wife truly hated me. She couldn’t look at me without the disgust on her face. But at least I knew she was safe. She would thank me later. Knowing she was a victim of all this nonsense made me want to protect her even more. Three SUVs and one sedan pulled out of the gate. Three more followed as a diversion as we headed towards the meeting place, a hotel with an underground casino and a private lounge. Dani stayed silent beside me as she turned her good wife mode on. She looked beautiful in a suit dress despite constantly scowling. She did not join us for breakfast earlier, so I told Marco to bring her food upstairs. We arrived ahead of time. Earlier, our security checked the entrance and the private lounge that served as the conference room. While patrons played in the casino, they were unaware of what was happening behind the wall.My father took a seat on a royal chair. I sat next to him on a long L-shaped lounge chair. Next to me was Dani. On top of a small table to my r

    DANIThey said Don’t bite the hands that feed you, but that was not the case for Francesco. My body shook knowing my father, or not-so-father after all, was so capable of taking lives, and who sheltered him. He was a monster, an impostor, and a murderer. I wondered what he did to the child. God, I hoped he still had a little humanity left in him. I was horrified. I shivered after finding out the horrible crimes he committed. What forced him to do such a thing? I didn’t have to know. He was just pure evil.“So how did I fit into this?” The silence in the office was deafening, except my own heartbeat. I could feel the thrashing in my ears. Terzo shook his head. “I don’t know. I don’t know why he chose you.”“I know who to ask. My mother.”They both looked at me in shock. “Yes. She’s the only one who can answer. Why did she lie to me about my father?” I let go of a shuddering sigh and looked at Terzo. “I don’t think I can take another trip this week. I’m not feeling well, but I want y

    TERZOI rubbed my eyes as fatigue weighed heavily on me. I hadn’t slept in two days. I was exhausted, but looking down at the file and financial reports on my desk, I forced myself to work, burning midnight oil to review before I would see my father.I was still finding it hard to find my footing on being a married man, and knowing that our relationship wasn’t doing well. I did not regret my action today. All I wanted was to protect her, keep her at arm's length to keep her safe. What worried me the most was the silence coming from Francesco. His men hadn’t made a move, and it creeped me out. My gut was telling me that he was cooking up something. He was preparing his move. I knew he had something to do with how Deckard Humphries somehow knew who I was. “Oh fuck,” I cursed under my breath as I caught a movement on the monitor. I pressed the code to unlock the door, and my father and Alessio walked inside the house.I straightened in my chair before the door swung open. The moment my
