I got so lost in watching myself in the mirror in that little dress of mine that I lost track of time. I didn't realise when I sat back on the bed.

I tried to feel the dress a little more and forget the past before I changed into something else. But the sound of the heavy door opening caught my attention.

I immediately stood up and turned around to find Dante standing at the doorway.

His eyes first caught my sight. Then, his body froze in its place as his gaze moved down my body, and a suffocat

  • Seducing my Father's Enemy    27. Only mine to Ruin

    DANTE'S POV I should never have listened to Alberti or Clara. I already knew how dangerous it could be for Clara to go there; still, I allowed her.Fuck myself.I decided to stay outside Falcone's estate while Clara was inside, but Alberti took me away. He forced me to stay out of a three-kilometre range from the estate because the security of Falcone was too high, and Clara's life could be in danger if he got even a whiff of our plan.Every second Clara was inside, and Falcone was breathing around her, I couldn't sit in my seat. If it were not Alberti on my side and my men's lives at stake, I would have pulled Clara out of that filthy space. I regretted my decision the moment she stepped inside the gates.And to add fuel to the fire, she didn't listen to me.She seduced him. She let him touch her.The beast in me was growling to claim her tonight. To teach her such a strong lesson that she never forgets who owns her.I will!But first, I needed her to come out of this place safely.

  • Seducing my Father's Enemy    26. Against his wish

    Bang! The sound of the bang was followed by Dante screaming my name, but at that moment, the bullet that left the gun to kill me became my world. Suddenly, that time became so slow that I could literally see the bullet moving towards me. It was not the bullet that I was watching. It was my death itself. I saw the spark of ignition and could practically trace the 9mm hollow-point bullet as it tore through the space between us, aiming directly for my heart.At that moment, my brain turned blank. Not even for a split second did I think that he could use his gun on me. But just when the bullet was about to touch my heart and end my game right here, my body reacted out of fear. I threw my entire weight violently to the left and twisted my torso, which made my stilettos slip against the Persian rug.I fell on the ground with a loud thud, and just at the same moment, the bullet passed beside my ear. It was so close I felt the burning kinetic heat of the metal. "Clara! Tell me you are

  • Seducing my Father's Enemy    25. Stealing from the Lion

    As soon as the words left my mouth, he didn't waste a single second grabbing my hand tightly and leading me towards his private suite. His fellow mates cheered for him when he took me away, as if he won something. My heart hammered in my chest. He could easily kill me in his room. "You still have time to rethink your decision", Dante's voice reached my ears. But the damage has already been done. There is no going back now. My heart dropped in my stomach when he closed the doors to his room with a click. He tossed his tailored suit jacket over a velvet chair and turned around to face me. "Take off the mask", he commanded. I swallowed hard and fisted my palms. "Don't remove it, Clara. He might recognise you because of the recent news" Dante's voice came through the comms. It was full of concern. I inhaled a deep breath and swayed my hips gracefully while walking towards the round glass table in the middle of the room. I leaned down, picked up the liquor bottle, and poured it in

  • Seducing my Father's Enemy    24. The deadly offer

    My heart hammered in my chest loudly, not because I was driving a car after ages, but because of what was waiting for me ahead. I may have boldly volunteered to go into Falcone's den, but there is no doubt that it is very dangerous. It could be possible that I do not come back alive. I exhaled a sharp breath and shook my head to stay positive. This is going to be the most challenging mission I have ever gone on. I have to win it for myself. My gaze flicked to the rear-view mirror for once. Dante was driving behind me, but he was a few miles away because we didn't want to raise suspicion. Alberti hadn't been exaggerating. I was practically standing in front of a fortress. Armed guards patrolled the perimeter with rifles strapped to their chests. High-tech surveillance cameras were all over the grounds, and the long driveway was lined with luxury cars and politicians. I pulled the Audi up to the valet station to park. I smoothed down my dress, grabbed my clutch, and steppe

  • Seducing my Father's Enemy    23. The woman on mission

    I stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the master suite, staring at the woman looking back at me. The woman on mission. The woman I almost forgot in the last few days. Before finalising the dress, I went through the entire wardrobe Dante had provided. I wanted to look my best because I don't want to lose this war at any cost. And even if I am going to die today, I want it to happen in my best form. I slid my hand slowly down my body. I was wearing a black silk gown that clung to every single curve of my body like a second skin. It had a cowl neckline and dipped back. A slit ran up to my thigh, under which I had concealed a blade, just for my safety. I tied my hair up in a messy bun and let a few curled strands frame my face perfectly. I kept my makeup sharp and my lips coated in crimson. I was ready! I reached across the glass vanity for my perfume before I finally stepped out of this room. But just when my fingers touched the perfume bottle, the doors clicked open.

  • Seducing my Father's Enemy    22. Playing with Fire

    "I will go there" My words were followed by a deep silence, and both heads turned to me at a speed faster than light. I gave them a few moments to register my presence and my words. Dante's jaw tightened, and his fists clenched, finding me in a place that didn't belong to me. He had warned me repeatedly over the last four days not to interrupt his business, not to pry, and to stay out of his syndicate's matters.But did I listen to him?Absolutely not.Don Alberti shifted slightly on the leather sofa. His sharp eyes swept over me like an unexpected variable on a chessboard. He looked at Dante’s murderous expression, then back to me."It is going to be incredibly dangerous," Alberti noted, his voice echoing in the quiet room.Nice! He is considering my idea. I took a few steps forward and folded my arms to my chest. "I know," I said, holding the older man's gaze. "But nothing in this world could be more dangerous than a woman who knows exactly how to play the game."Another heavy
