DANTE

She took a deep breath. "One rainy night, thirty-four years ago, your father was driving home from work when he spotted a desperate man on the roadside with a small child, probably around six months old. The rain was pouring down, accompanied by thunder and lightning. The man was drenched, and the child was crying."

I saw her expression soften as she recalled the memory.

"Your father brought them home, fed them, and provided dry clothes. He learned that the man's name was Max and that he

  • STUCK WITH MR. BILLIONAIRE FOR CHRISTMAS    Chapter 111: HOPEFUL DECISION.

    CINNAMON.If I get my hands on Dove's ex-husband, I swear I'll skin him alive. God, please help me. Help my family. I just want to enjoy my marriage and family. Haven't I lost enough already? Why is all this happening? What did she need such a large sum of money for?A knock at the door made me hold my breath completely. "Cinnamon?" Dante's mom called calmly from the other side of the door, her tone curious. "Are you alright in there?"I pressed my fist harder against my lips and counted to three. "Yes!" My voice came out bright, almost cheerful, and I hated myself for how easily it slipped out. "I'm so sorry; I think something I ate isn’t sitting well with me. Don't worry about me; go ahead with the kids. I might need to take the morning off."There was a pause. "Oh." Disappointment laced her quick response. "Alright, take the day of work if you need it. I'm taking the kids to school.""Thank you, Mom." My voice cracked slightly on that last word, and I swallowed hard. "I'll be okay.

    CINNAMONSleep had caught me off guard. One moment I was sitting on the edge of the couch, tense as a board, staring at the front door with my heart racing. The next, my alarm blared in my ear, and I woke up sideways, disoriented, with drool drying in the corner of my mouth and my neck protesting from the awkward position I had twisted myself into.I nearly sprang up from the couch in confusion, causing the room to tilt around me. I pressed my palm flat against the cushion and blinked until the walls stopped spinning. My phone. I grabbed it with both hands, my fingers trembling even before I unlocked the screen.No messages from Dante. No messages from Dove. The clock showed 6:14 AM, and the silence in the house felt suffocating, tightening around my chest.I pushed my hair back from my face and sat there for a moment, just breathing and trying to collect myself, desperately seeking to calm my restless mind. Because once I stood up, the day would begin. And once it began, I had to pre

    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

    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

    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

    CINNAMON:He walked toward us from the entrance we had just come through, a briefcase in one hand and that familiar cocky smile spread across his face, as if he had been invited and had every right to be here.A chill ran through me. Nothing good ever came from Marcus's presence. He was a walking d

    DANTEI found her by the waterfall.She sat on the cold rock beneath the massive cherry tree, its bare branches reaching toward the night sky like skeletal hands. The temperature had dropped significantly, my breath fogged in front of my face, skin prickling with goosebumps. I still only had my shi
