DANTE

I'd stayed away from her for seven days, hanging onto the thin thread of investigation work to prevent myself from losing my mind completely.

The week had been brutal. I'd dissolved the board I'd set up for DreamHaven. Paid back every investor, taking massive financial hits I'd feel for awhile. Annulled all partnerships tied to the Meadowbrook project. The lawsuits started rolling in within hours. Petitions. Angry phone calls. Threats.

For the first time since I'd become a businessman, I'

    DANTEI raised a finger at Mom and stepped back, pressing the phone harder against my ear. She watched me leave with a look of dread and hope.I exhaled slowly, keeping my voice steady."I'm listening," I said.The man on the other end hesitated. When he spoke again, his words tumbled out in a rush."I fell for her," he admitted. "I wasn't supposed to, but I did. And I've been living with what I've done to her every single day."My grip on the phone tightened."Someone hired me," he continued. "To get her hooked. She injects through her big toe, so no one would find the marks if they looked in obvious places." He paused. "I'm sorry. I know that's not—"I was already on the move.Up the stairs, down the hallway, into the bedroom. My keys were on the dresser, and I snatched them without slowing down.My baby sister. Damn! How could I have let her walk out that door?"Why?" I asked as I bounded down the stairs two at a time. "Who paid you?""Her ex-husband." His voice steadied a bit. "He

    DANTE.The chef and I had spent the better part of the afternoon in that kitchen, and it showed. The table had lamb ribs glistening under the chandelier, roasted vegetables fanned out, warm bread. Cinnamon was radiant in burnt orange, cutting Oliver's meat into smaller pieces while he babbled about something that had happened at school. Mom sat at the head happy seeing the full table. She laughed at something Dove said, and for a moment she looked ten years younger. Dove wiped Thessa's mouth with the corner of a napkin and the little girl scrunched her face, probably thinking she was too old for that."There's something beautiful about this," I said, cutting into my lamb. "All of us, right here."Mom set her fork down just to place her hand over her chest. "I almost forgot," she said quietly, more to herself than anyone. "I almost forgot what it felt like to just live." She laughed softly and picked her fork back up, shaking her head like she was embarrassed by the admission.The foo

  • STUCK WITH MR. BILLIONAIRE FOR CHRISTMAS    Chapter 107: ONE MORE CHANCE.

    CINNAMON.Why was I angry with him again?Something about secrets.Something about another woman.Something about—His mouth found the back of my neck and I forgot the question entirely.He took his time.That was the thing about Dante that had always undone me completely. He was never rushed where I was concerned. Never transactional. He moved through me like he had nowhere else to be on earth. Like I was the destination and he'd already arrived and now was simply — exploring.His hands knew me.Every version of me."I missed being inside you." His low growl went straight to my swollen clit, tightening my nipples, making my pussy squeeze.“I missed you too.”His fingers immediately slipped between my legs, and I could tell that I was more wet than before. I moaned and he flipped me over. With one huge palm wrapped around my thigh, he pulled it open and lifted my hips. His mouth hit my core, ripping a scream from my lips."Fuck!" His tongue circled me slowly. He sucked and nipped un

  • STUCK WITH MR. BILLIONAIRE FOR CHRISTMAS    Chapter 106: REMINDING HER WHO'S IN CHARGE.

    DANTE.When I returned to my office, I felt completely lost. My mind struggled to process anything, and no matter how hard I tried to piece together the problem in front of me, I couldn't succeed. To pass the time, I kept myself busy.The meetings were just noise.All of them.Words floated around the table while I sat inside my own thoughts, gazing at the surface of things without engaging with any of it. Tate spoke, numbers flashed on screens, and someone laughed at something trivial.I nodded.Signed whatever was placed in front of me.Checked my watch for the fourteenth time. Finally, it was four in the evening.Standing, "we'll finish tomorrow."No one argued because I was already walking towards the exit.It took me less than five minutes to get to her door.Her office light was still on. I could see it shining from under the door. The rest of the floor felt empty because almost everyone had ended their day.I knocked once and opened the door before she answered.She sat at her

  • STUCK WITH MR. BILLIONAIRE FOR CHRISTMAS    Chapter 105: HOW CAN I FIGHT FOR WHAT'S HURTING ME?

    CINNAMON."I told you that I'll explain everything soon. Please, trust me, Cinnamon," he begged.I looked up, almost laughing in his face.Trust. The one thing we'd built everything on. The foundation we'd been so proud of. And here he was, handing it back to me in pieces, asking me to hold it carefully like it wasn't already broken in his hands."Explain this." He slid the paper across my desk.Interestingly, I glanced at the paper, not touching it.I immediately thought of my promise to Dove not to tell anyone. But what was the big deal, and why was she so intent on keeping it a secret?I needed to think of an excuse. Furthermore, if he believed I would be the only one suffering, I'll ensure he feels pain as well."I don't see the problem." I leaned back in my chair, crossing my arms. "If you're out doing whatever you're doing, the least I can do is console myself with some money. We're rich."Yes, that's correct. It was satisfying to see the flash of disappointment on his face. I f

  • STUCK WITH MR. BILLIONAIRE FOR CHRISTMAS    Chapter 104: START FROM THERE.

    CINNAMON.Tears streamed down my face as I cried, wiping my nose with the tissue Risa had given me. I have been trying to stay strong but it has gotten tougher with Dante being shady and the secret I was keeping for Dove. I had to talk to someone but I didn't share too many details because, at the end of the day, Dante was still family, and some family secrets should remain private."I'll spell it out for you, Cinnamon. Dante is cheating. For him to let you see it means he doesn't respect you," Risa said as she settled back into her seat. "Cinnamon, I really think you should consider divorcing him. You're young and have a son to care for. You don't deserve what he's putting you through." She leaned in and handed me another tissue.My hand trembled at the thought of Risa suggesting I divorce Dante as I took the tissue from her, crumpling it. I loved him deeply and couldn't picture my life without him. Why would he want to hurt me like this? He brought another woman to our son's birthda

    DANTEI was a mess and had been for weeks. I couldn't escape memories of Cinnamon no matter how I tried. Everything reminded me of her.My morning coffee tasted wrong because she wasn't there stealing sips from my cup. The silence in my office felt oppressive without her voice. Even my own heartbea

    DANTEI wove through the crowd, to go find mom. The door was left slightly open. I knocked twice, then pushed it wider.She stood by the window, still in her robe, staring out but she seemed to have zoned off. When she heard me enter, she turned with a smile that didn't reach her eyes."Dante." She

    CINNAMON"You're so tight," he groaned, and the praise sent heat flooding through me.His mouth traced down my throat, tongue leaving wet trails. He sucked my nipple between his lips, teeth grazing, and I arched into the sensation.Lower still, until his breath ghosted over where I needed him most.

    DANTEThe clattering woke me. First, dishes maybe, or pots being moved around. Then came the voices, muffled but persistent, seeping through the walls and under the door."Go away," I mumbled into the pillow, voice hoarse with sleep.The noise didn't listen.I groaned, pulling the pillow over my he
