Dante

As I watched Anna stride confidently out of my office, my heart sank. I knew her returning my jacket was merely a pretext to see me again. Despite the fact that she was on the run, I had made the decision to keep my distance unless she specifically sought my help. Did she honestly believe she could hide from me? My men had been monitoring her ever since they discovered her in that miserable motel, but they refrained from dragging her to me on my orders.

I was aware of the suspicious individuals who had been asking about her whereabouts, but unless she opened up to me, I refuse to intervene.

Despite my decision, I couldn't shake off the nagging feeling that I needed to protect her from any potential danger.

I picked up my phone and dialed Matteo's number. "Anna just left my office. I want my men to keep a close eye on her."

"Sure thing, boss. Is she connected to the new business owner?" Matteo inquired.

"I pay you to follow my orders, not to ask questions," I snapped. "Just get my men on her."

"Apologies, boss. I'll take care of it," Matteo responded before I hung up.

I lit up a cigarette and pondered how Anna was already affecting my life without even realizing it. I knew I had to rid her from my mind. I called Lisa and instructed her to come to my office within five minutes.

As I sat in my office, the door suddenly opened without a knock, and I immediately recognized Matteo's bold entrance. We had been friends for years, so I knew he wasn't afraid of me.

"Boss, we have a problem," Matteo announced, looking grim.

"Someone better be dying, Matteo," I growled.

"We've lost Anna," he stated.

I glared at him, trying to contain my rage. "How difficult is it to keep track of one girl? How difficult is it to keep her under surveillance?" I demanded.

"I'm sorry, boss," Matteo apologized.

"I hate that fucking word. You had better find her before nightfall, or else you will be facing the consequences," I threatened. "Get out!"

Matteo left my office, and I immediately called Victor, ordering him to send me the camera footage.

Later, as Matteo and I reviewed the footage together, he asked me, "Who do you think took her?"

"If I had the answer to that question, I would already be on my way to retrieve her and make those bastards pay," I replied.

"At least the CCTV captured their license plate numbers. We'll catch them in no time," Matteo reassured me.

I couldn't shake off the feeling of apprehension that gnawed at me. "I hope we can find her in time," I murmured.

"We will, boss. We'll get to her before it's too late," Matteo replied. "Speaking of time, how long will it take to make Mr. Valentine cooperate with us?"

"Very soon, Matteo. I've already sent him a copy of the files we have on him. He'll realize that he can't avoid prison by holding onto that factory forever," I smirked.

"I doubt he'll give up without a fight. That factory brings him in billions each month," Matteo remarked.

"He's not smart enough to take me down, and even if he tries, I'll be ready for him. That factory will be mine, whether he likes it or not," I declared.

As Matteo prepared to leave, he asked me, "What's your deal with the girl, boss?"

Taking a sip of Scotch, I furrowed my brow. "I wish I knew, Matteo. I really do."

“I sincerely hope this new girl won't cause any complications for us, boss. However, I place my trust in you. If you deem her presence worth the inconvenience, then she must be worth it. I will go discuss with Tom about any information he has gathered about her."

With that, he exited the office, leaving me to ponder over my thoughts. As I took the last sip of my scotch, a sense of unease washed over me. I couldn't help but worry about her safety, wherever she may be.

I was seized with regret over my decision to send her away, a feeling that was new to me.

It dawned on me that I was in a serious situation. For the first time in my life, I, Dante Williams, the ruthless and calculating businessman, was second guessing his actions and questioning his choices.

  • Redemption    Epilogue

    ANNA More than a month had passed since that harrowing incident, yet its memories remained as vivid as if it had occurred just yesterday. The echoes of gunshots still reverberated in the depths of my mind, and the fear of losing Dante clung to me like an unwelcome shadow. He had risked everything for me, shielding me with his own body, taking a bullet for me and in that moment, I made a solemn vow to love him endlessly if he fought his way out of the coma that consumed him. The mere thought of losing him sent waves of anguish through my soul. Dante... my brave, selfless Dante.But it wasn't just the anguish of losing him that consumed me; it was the seething rage that burned within me, directed at the one responsible for this tragedy. That vile woman had sent Dante, the great Dante Williams, into a coma. If I could resurrect her just to take her life once more, I would do it without hesitation.Amidst the chaos and uncertainty, Xavier, a man who had been a constant presence in my lif

    ANNAOur journey back to New York unfolded smoothly, with laughter and camaraderie filling the helicopter cabin. The guys cracked jokes, Dante engrossed in his phone, and I found solace in immersing myself in a romance novel on Booknet. It was a rare moment of tranquility amidst the chaos we had faced.As we approached our destination, Xavier expressed his need to be dropped off so he could catch a flight back to California. We obliged, landing on the rooftop of a hotel where he bid us farewell. With a final wave, he disappeared into the building, leaving Dante and me to continue our journey.Once we landed and stepped out of the helicopter, I suddenly found myself enveloped in a tight hug. Startled, I looked up to see Mateo wearing a broad smile on his face."So happy to have you back, Anna," Mateo exclaimed, his eyes scanning my face before embracing me once more.Returning his hug, I couldn't help but be touched by his warmth and genuine joy. "I'm happy to be back," I replied, my v

    ANNAAs I sat on the rock, catching my breath and allowing my weary muscles to relax, a glimmer of curiosity caught my eye. Not too far from where I stood, nestled amidst the foliage, was a cave entrance. Its dark recesses beckoned to me, despite the inherent dangers that caves often held. Yet, an irresistible pull urged me forward, compelling me to explore its mysterious depths. How could we have missed this during John and his crew's cleanup? Were they as oblivious to its presence as I had been?I couldn't resist the temptation any longer. With a mix of trepidation and intrigue, I rose from the rock and cautiously made my way towards the cave. Each step carried a hint of apprehension, my mind flooded with thoughts of hidden treasures or a fantastical encounter awaiting me within. Absurd as it may seem, a part of me half-expected a whimsical figure resembling the Wizard of Oz to materialize before my eyes.Shaking off the whimsical notion, I pressed on, my heart pounding in anticipat

    ANNAThe past week with Dante had been nothing short of a blissful honeymoon stage, as he lavished me with his attention, pampering me and worshipping every inch of my being. However, amidst the intoxicating whirlwind of love and desire, there was a nagging thought that persistently gnawed at the corners of my mind—the elusive file. I yearned for its resolution, unable to attain complete peace of mind while it still lingered in the shadows.Today, with a newfound determination, I resolved to bring up the subject once more. I couldn't suppress my curiosity any longer; the file's existence cast a faint but palpable shadow over our idyllic paradise.Finding Dante on the island wasn't a particularly challenging task. I spotted him reclining under the warm sun, basking in its golden embrace. Drawing closer, I handed him the bottle of sun screen, a subtle request for him to apply it onto my exposed back. His eyes darted toward the security personnel stationed nearby, prompting the vigilant

    ANNADante's reassurances did little to ease my growing unease. Deep down, I couldn't shake the feeling that he was hiding something, something potentially dangerous. Attempting to reach him, I dialed his number several times, only to be sent straight to voicemail each time. Frustrated, I turned to Xavier as my next point of contact, but my calls to him also led to his voicemail. It seemed like everyone I reached out to was suddenly unreachable.In a desperate attempt to gather some information, I turned to the intimidating figures Dante had assigned as my security. However, they remained tight-lipped, refusing to provide any insight or even acknowledge my presence. Their indifference to my greetings only fueled my suspicion further.Seeking solace, I stepped out from behind the protective shield made of bamboo and scanned the surroundings. That's when I noticed Lily, completely engrossed in her own world, diligently etching something on the sandy ground. Intrigued, I approached her,

    DANTESilently, I eased the door open and peered into the room, spotting one of Orlando's men meticulously arranging the space. It appeared he had been reduced to a servant, a mere houseboy in Orlando's empire. Taking aim at his heart, I squeezed the trigger, the sound of the gunshot punctuating the air. The man crumpled onto the bed, his lifeblood staining the pristine white sheets. One adversary eliminated, leaving six more to confront. Stepping further into the room, Matteo, Tom, and John followed closely behind me, ready for the imminent confrontation. With a subtle nod from me, they dispersed, each armed with the determination to eradicate those despicable men.Time seemed to blur as the next few moments unfolded. Swiftly and efficiently, we took down four more of Orlando's men, their existence extinguished with ruthless precision. John's skill and proficiency in combat proved invaluable, reinforcing my confidence in our team's ability. Now, we stood on the threshold of the cabin
