CHAPTER NINE — A TARGET ON HER BACK**

Amara barely slept.

Every time she closed her eyes, she saw the masked intruder reaching for her… the glint of a weapon… Dante pulling her away seconds before the door exploded.

But beneath the fear was something even more dangerous.

Dante’s confession.

*“You’re the part of me I thought was dead.”*

Her heart wouldn’t let go of those words.

By the time the door’s locks beeped and unsealed, she sat up straight, pulse racing.

Dante stepped in.

His suit was changed, but there was a stiffness to his movements—tension just beneath the surface. The bruising on his jaw had darkened. Someone had patched his arm, yet he still looked like a man who’d fought a war and wasn’t done fighting.

“Are you hurt?” she blurted immediately.

He stopped… surprised.

“You should worry about yourself,” he said softly. “Not me.”

    CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO — THE WEDDING NO ONE SAWThere were no flowers.No guests.No music echoing through a grand hall.And yet, it was the most dangerous ceremony Dante Knight had ever walked into.The private courthouse was empty except for four people: the judge, a clerk sworn to silence, Dante’s head of security, and Amara.Amara stood beside Dante, her hands clasped tightly in front of her, her heart beating so loudly she was sure everyone could hear it. She wore a simple cream dress—nothing extravagant, nothing that screamed billionaire’s wife.But the way Dante looked at her…That was anything but simple.His gaze followed every movement, every breath she took, like he was committing her existence to memory.“Are you certain you wish to proceed?” the judge asked quietly, eyes moving between them.Dante answered immediately.“Yes.”All certainty. No hesitation.The judge turned to Amara. “And you, Miss Okafor?”Amara inh

    💍 CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE — THE SECRET BRIDEThe city woke slowly.Morning light spilled across the penthouse, touching the walls in gold and amber. For the first time since Amara had entered Dante Knight’s world, the silence didn’t feel dangerous.It felt peaceful.Amara stood in the kitchen, barefoot, holding a mug of tea she had barely touched. Her thoughts were loud, replaying everything from the night before—his confession, the kiss, the way he had looked at her like she was no longer a weakness but a decision.Behind her, Dante watched her quietly.He hadn’t slept.He hadn’t needed to.“You’re thinking too hard,” he said softly.She turned, startled. “Am I that obvious?”“To me?” He gave a faint smile. “Always.”She leaned against the counter. “Everything feels… unreal. Like I stepped into someone else’s life and forgot how to leave.”Dante moved closer. Not to corner her. Never that.“I don’t want you to feel trapped,” he s

    CHAPTER THIRTY — THE CONFESSION THAT CHANGES EVERYTHINGThe city felt quieter after the storm.Amara stood by the wide window of the penthouse, watching the lights below flicker like distant stars. The world outside looked normal again—cars moving, people laughing somewhere far away—but inside her chest, everything had shifted.She was alive.But she was no longer the same woman who had pushed a stranger out of the way on a rainy street.Behind her, Dante’s presence filled the room before he even spoke.“You should be resting,” he said softly.She turned.He was standing near the door, his arm bandaged, his jacket gone, his usually perfect composure cracked in ways she had never seen before. He looked tired—not physically, but emotionally. Like a man who had finally reached the edge of something he could no longer control.“I don’t feel tired,” Amara replied. “I feel… awake.”Dante nodded once. “That’s usually what happens after you almost los

    CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE — THE ULTIMATUMSunrise crept over the city like a silent witness.Dante stood at the edge of his penthouse balcony, the skyline glowing gold beneath him—but there was nothing beautiful about this morning.His jaw was tight. His injured shoulder throbbed beneath the bandage. But pain was irrelevant.Amara was gone.Behind him, the room buzzed with controlled chaos. Screens glowed. Voices murmured into comms. Armed men waited, tense and ready.Marcus, Dante’s head of security, stepped closer.“We traced the signal, sir. It’s an old industrial zone near the docks. Warehouse district.”Dante didn’t turn.“Verena wants me desperate,” he said calmly. “She wants me reckless.”Marcus hesitated. “And is she wrong?”Dante finally faced him.His eyes were lethal.“No,” he said. “She’s dead wrong.”He picked up his phone.A message blinked on the screen.Verena:One hour, Dante. Come alone. Or she pays the

    CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT — THE PRICE OF LOVEDarkness swallowed everything.Amara woke with a sharp gasp, her head pounding, her body cold against concrete. Her wrists burned.She tried to move.Metal cuffs.Her heart slammed violently against her ribs.“Dante!” she cried.No answer.Only silence… and the slow drip of water somewhere nearby.Her eyes adjusted to the dim light. She was in a large, unfinished room—cement walls, exposed pipes, a single bulb hanging from the ceiling.A warehouse.Panic surged through her chest.Memories crashed back—the gunfire, the door bursting open, Dante bleeding—“Dante…” her voice broke.A slow clap echoed through the room.“Well… you’re awake.”Amara froze.Verena stepped into the light, dressed elegantly as always, heels clicking against the floor like a countdown. Her red lipstick was flawless. Her

    CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN — BETRAYAL IN BLOOD The explosion rocked the underground facility, throwing Amara off balance. Dante caught her instantly, his arm locking around her waist as debris rattled against the reinforced walls. Emergency lights flickered violently, bathing everything in red. “Down!” someone shouted over the chaos. Dante pulled Amara behind a steel console just as another blast echoed from above. Her ears rang. Her heart pounded. “This is my fault,” she whispered, shaking. “If I wasn’t here—” Dante grabbed her face, forcing her to look at him. His eyes were fierce, unwavering. “Do not say that again.” Another tremor hit. “This ends tonight,” he said. “Verena crossed a line she can’t come back from.” ### **THE TRAITOR’S MOVE** Security feeds flashed wildly across the screens. “Sir!” a technician yelled. “Verena disabled internal access from he
