Redemption Chapter 21
DanteIt's an incredibly daunting task to reveal to Anna that her troubles go beyond Valentine. Could it be that Valentine is responsible for her father's demise and her mother's calamitous accident? Or could this be connected to Orlando? Despite my slaying of Luke, my thirst for blood remains unquenched, with my anger boiling within me. The notion that someone seeks to harm Anna has me itching to take action. However, I am at a loss as to where to begin. Engaging in a war with three distinct families simultaneously is undeniably unwise.I turned to Matteo, and from his expression, it was clear that he was also grappling with the same issue. "What is our next move, boss?" he queried."Tomorrow morning, I'll take Anna to the island. It's the safest place for her to be right now. As for Morello, we'll put our plan on hold until I take care of Valentine," I responded."And what about Orlando?" Matteo inquired."Orlando has his sights set on Anna, so we need to keep her out of his reach,"

AnnaDouble fuck. He’s definitely going to call the doctor. I nervously looked at Dante, my mind racing as I searched for a way to avoid the inevitable. With a sigh, I slowly stood up from my squatted position, and took my toothbrush and toothpaste. I deliberately took my time in brushing my teeth, hoping that it would distract him from asking me any questions.As I scrubbed my teeth vigorously, I could feel Dante's intense gaze on the back of my head. His eyes were like lasers, boring into me with a fiery intensity. "Hey, didn't anyone ever tell you that it's rude to stare?" I snapped, trying to break the tension.Dante glared at me through the mirror, his eyes dark with anger. "Cut the bullshit, Anna," he growled. "Taking forever to brush your teeth isn't going to stop you from answering my question."I felt a lump form in my throat as I turned to face him, my heart pounding in my chest. "I just told you Dante, I have the flu.”Rubbing his hands over his face, Dante grabbed my shoul
Redemption Chapter 23
DanteI collapsed onto my bed, replaying my conversation with Anna over and over in my head. My mind was racing with thoughts, and I couldn't make sense of it all. I didn't know what to think or how to feel about the situation I found myself in.I had reached out to Matteo for help over half an hour ago, and he was nowhere to be seen. The anger and frustration inside me grew with each passing second. As if he hadn't a care in the world, Matteo strolled into my room without even bothering to knock. Normally, I wouldn't have cared, but with my head spinning with thoughts and emotions, every little thing seemed to irk me."You know I fixed that door for a reason, right?" I snapped, my tone laced with annoyance.Matteo just chuckled, completely unfazed by my obvious irritation. "What crawled up your ass, dude?"I let out a heavy sigh, trying to steady myself before speaking. "Just shut the fucking door, Matteo."He complied, taking a seat next to me on the bed and gently plucking the glas

Dante.As I arrived at Anna's abode, I was met with the sight of Clifford emerging from the building's main entrance. Matteo, who stood beside me, emitted a disapproving hiss at the mere presence of this man. It was evident that he held a grudge against Clifford, who, as far as I knew, had always been gunning for a promotion. I couldn't fathom the underlying motive behind his constant efforts to bring us down."What in the world is this despicable person doing here?" Matteo spat through gritted teeth.I raised my shoulders in a nonchalant manner. "It appears he is on the prowl for any evidence that can incriminate us."Matteo's nostrils flared with anger. "Just let me at him. I'll toss his wretched carcass into the ocean."I side-eyed him. "Once all of this is over, I may even have the pleasure of throwing him in myself."Matteo's lips curled into a small grin. "And here I thought I was the only one who abhorred his existence."Eager to get this ordeal behind me, I briskly opened my do

AnnaThe experience of awakening in an unfamiliar place can be quite terrifying. For me, it was a filthy and malodorous room. As I looked around, I noted the old mattress on which I lay. I tried to sit up, but a sharp pain in my head caused me to halt my motion. Reaching for my head, I discovered a small bump. Grimacing with pain, I endeavored to recollect what had happened to me.As I struggled to summon my memories, the door to my cell swung open, and a rugged-looking man entered. "At last, Sleeping Beauty has awoken," he quipped.I glared at him, my gaze slowly drifting towards the door. I wondered how many guards were stationed outside and how far I could go if I managed to flee.The scruffy man, seemingly able to read my thoughts, countered, "You had best dismiss such notions if you hope to survive. There are roughly twenty guards stationed outside who have been instructed to shoot on sight if you attempt to leave this room."In order to increase my odds of survival or escape, it

I know that Valentine and Orlando are not responsible for her disappearance, but I refuse to let them go. With Valentine under my thumb, he has no choice but to help me find Anna.Playing fair is not in my nature, and I am willing to use any tactic necessary to get what I want. Two days ago, I called Valentine to my side and demanded answers. I needed to know what his deal with Orlando was and why Anna was targeted.

It was a stroke of luck that the one who had taken him happened to be on my list of people to eliminate. When I ultimately put a bullet in that bastard's head, I set Luca free. He had promised to repay me for my kindness, but at the time, I didn't take his vow too seriously.Yet, as the years passed, Luca kept in touch with me through the occasional greeting card, always marking the seasons. When I reached out to him this morning, he quickly promised to be at my apartment before dinner. While I'm not entirely sure if he remembers his promise to repay me, I don't care. I'm just glad to have him on my side.However, I have other problems to deal with at the moment. I've been preparing for the payback scheme from Valentine.
