Sins of The Past

“Go find him! Don’t let him escape!” The sounds of several men echoed in the distance.Dante was running through the woods, holding on to the side of his stomach that was bleeding while panting and losing his breath. He had lost the vast majority of his energy and knew he would lose if he continued fighting.He did not expect Sergio’s men to ambush his summer lake house in the middle of the night, just as he was alone and asleep, leaving him barely able to escape.As he continued running, he felt the strength leaving his body. He was bleeding too much and ended up falling in front of another lake house. He laid on the ground and the sky above him was turning into a blurry spiral.“Am I going to die here?” He asked himself.“No, I cannot die here, I don’t want to die here.” He repeated in his head. Just as he was about to lose his consciousness, 19-year-old Victoria appeared in front of him, wearing a worn down sundress. Her face was filled with shock and concern.“Oh my god, what happ

When she opened the door, Victoria saw Liam kissing Amelia, her stepsister. Both of them were naked on the bed.“What the hell!?” Amelia and Liam were both shocked. They were not expecting her to be back so early. Amelia quickly covered her body with a blanket while Liam grabbed his pants, put it on and rose from the bed.“Victoria, this isn’t what it seems…” Liam was panicking. He did not think she would find out about their relationship so soon.“Liam, how could you cheat on me with my stepsister!?” She yelled at him. At that moment, tears started flowing on her face and her chest felt tight. Liam ran his fingers through his hair, frustrated and panicking for a moment before he looked at Victoria again.“Fine, since it’s already out, I’m just going to tell this to you.” His gaze turned from panic to a cold, detached gaze.“I am sick and tired of you, okay? You always think you’re so smart and all, but you’re just a nobody. You are boring and plain. I can never love a woman like you.

Victoria was about to jump from the bridge when a strong pair arms suddenly caught her and pulled her back. Victoria was surprised, she landed on a hard chest while shutting her eyes.“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” She heard a heavy male voice coming from beside her. Victoria opened her eyes in shock.“You, you’re” It was Dante and his face was right in front of her. There was a huge frown on his face, but his gaze softened as their eyes met.Victoria looked down and realized she was right on top of him. She quickly lifted herself and stared at him in disbelief.“What are you doing here, Dante?” She asked him.“Well, that’s one way to greet someone who has just saved your life.” He responded sarcastically.“I didn’t ask you to.” She replied with an annoyed tone.“You’re still as stubborn as ever after all these years.” He chuckled a little as nostalgia hit him. Victoria was still staring at him, wondering if this man was even real. She reached out her hand to touch his sho

Vincenzo raised his voice. Both Pietro and Dante was slightly taken aback since Vincenzo was the one man in the house who rarely ever raised his voice.“This is all just a huge misunderstanding! Let me clear this up.” He turned to Pietro with a serious gaze.“Pietro, this is Victoria. She is an esteemed guest of Dante who will stay here from now on. You need to treat her with respect!” Vincenzo stated. Pietro turned to Victoria briefly with a displeased gaze, their eyes met briefly and Pietro turned his head once again.“Dante, Pietro is drunk right now. He is not in his right mind. Please let this slide for once. Let’s not ruin your brotherhood because of this.” He reminded him. Dante was silent for a moment.“Fine, but when he is sober, I’m going to talk with him,” Dante replied. At that moment, a poor housemaid walked over to them, slightly trembling in fear.“Excuse me, master. H

Dante grabbed Victoria’s hand and led her to one of the doors not too far from her bedroom. While Victoria stayed there, she did not really tour the house and check each room there, because she was not that curious. Therefore, she had no idea what was behind the door.“This is my gift to you.” He opened the door and Victoria gasped in surprise. It was an art room. Inside, there was a wooden table and a storage shelf that contained acrylic paints in all sorts of colors.There was a round holder filled with brushes of different sizes, and an easel with canvas. She walked in and looked around in disbelief. He pulled one of the drawers and there were canvases of all sizes.“These are the supplies you asked for. Everything has been provided for you.” Victoria could not contain her smile. It was the first time since she arrived there did she smile so brightly.“Dante… I don’t know what to say. This is beautiful&h
