I knew I had to leave. Dante should never find out that I'm pregnant. My heart pained knowing that I was about to lose someone this precious to me.
I was going to have two beautiful babies for the man I love, and I wasn't going to let anything bad happen to them. I so desperately wanted to go back but couldn't. I recalled the events playing in my head once more.
"Why are you torturing me like this?" I sobbed loudly, brushing away my tears as sorrow encircled my chest and made the idea of leaving Dante unbearable.
"Why did you ask? Because you are nothing more than a bitch who is undeserving! Years of sitting while you strut around pretending to be someone you're not while I watched you get all the attention!" Her tone became stern and also vengeful.
"But you don't have to do this, please." I begged.
"I've had enough of you. You're going to do exactly as I say and if you try to alert Dante or anyone, I'll release those damning evidence and ruin your lives." The female taunted.
"You're going to leave the fucking country and never come back and if you do. I'll make sure to execute you and your family. Got it?" I nodded my head almost embolized before faintly whispering a yes.
"Good, I've already arranged everything for you. You see it was very easy considering the fact that I'm Dante's lover and he confides everything with me. Now since he's away on a three-day business trip in Ireland he won't be able to notice a thing." I sobbed terribly hearing that whoever was doing this was very close to my husband.
"Please don't hurt me." I begged, sobbing as I glanced at the gun to my head.
I knew whatever she was saying was not true, Dante would never do this to me, he loved me dearly. From the day we had met in college Dante has been my first in everything. I didn't know how I was going to get through this world without him by my side.
"I won't murder you if you follow my instructions; I only needed you out of the way. When Dante and I made love, he would always admit that you were monotonous in bed and never stopped bugging him. He also grew tired of you not giving him an heir as requested; the only reason he hasn't filed for divorce is because he feels sorry for you, you pathetic barren woman!" She chuckled menacingly.
"No, I don't believe you. Dante would never do anything to hurt me. You're lying." I snapped, fiercely defending my husband.
"See for yourself." She smiled viciously massaging her pregnant stomach.
I looked towards her phone witnessing that there was a video, I hesitantly extended my hand before clicking on the video and there it was a clear view of my bedroom and a man and a woman lying in bed. The woman was on top of the man.
I could clearly see the same identical tattoos on the man that matched the one's on Dante's hand. The tattoo was that of a dragon same color same size everything matched perfectly, the woman riding on top of my husband was clearly not me.
Her hair was red, but she had a clear pink heart on her bum which was not mine. And then there it was picture of my husband's face. My husband was there enjoying his moment with the red head woman who was standing before me smirking.
"I needed that, I've been sexually frustrated for the past two days, I no longer feel comfortable having sex with my barren wife considering she's unable to have my child after trying for so long." I bit my lip holding back my tears as my husband spoke after climaxing.
"Let's have a baby together, we can divorce her then." She suggested.
"I can't divorce her, especially not now since the business is taking off, my family loves her too much, once I find a way to do it without my family think blaming me for our divorce then I'll happily divorce her and be with you baby doll." The pain was too much to bear as my husband said those words to her.
"H-How is this even possible?" I questioned in disbelief.
It was a lie!
It has to be a lie!
My husband would never do this to me!
"Such a naive woman you are you're not the first or the last woman Donte has ever been with and will ever be with, consider this me doing you a favor." She spat.
"Everything you need is in that bag, I don't care wherever you go just take it and leave. Also, if I find that I'm able to trace you by your name I'll execute you. Now move!" She spoke.
I looked at the bags before me. Already packed. I took one last look at the mansion before going on my way.
Whoever this woman was made sure I left no trace. None that Dante would ever pick up on and search for me. I already missed him. I desperately wanted to just be in my husband's overprotective and possessive hands right now even though he had cheated on me.
But my babies were more important. They were my world as of now on.
I handed over my phone to the guy who stood before me with a mask over his face before heading into the unknown car.
Lying in the sterile, white hospital bed, I felt utterly exhausted and helpless. The steady beeping of the heart monitor provided an eerie soundtrack to my thoughts as I replayed the events that had led me to this point.It was just five minutes ago that Mavis left.Suddenly, the door creaked open, and Dante appeared in my line of sight. My eyes widened in surprise, as I had never expected him to come see me, given the role he had played in my current predicament.Dante looked incredibly dashing as I scanned him from top to bottom. He had a remarkable talent for carrying off any attire he put on while we were together, and I always found myself admiring him for it.In all my years of knowing Dante he had always been great to his employees and from where I could see he still is but with last night's events replaying in my head I guess I might not have known him after all.I couldn't help but feel a sense of bitterness as I remembered the circumstances that had landed me in the hospital
Dante's PovThe first rays of sunlight were just starting to peek through my window at five in the morning. As I sat up in bed, I couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt wash over me.My mind wandered back to the events of yesterday, and I couldn't shake the feeling that I had been too hard on Faith. I knew I had given her an overwhelming amount of work to do, and I couldn't help but regret it.But then, as I thought about it more, I remembered that Faith had brought some of it upon herself. Ever since buying Dailyplus, Faith has always been eager to take on new challenges, to prove herself and show her worth.In a way, I admired her drive and determination.I had always treated Avelyn like royalty, showering her with love and affection. So, when she abruptly vanished from my life, it left me feeling hurt, confused, and determined to find out the truth behind her sudden disappearance.As I delved deeper into Faith's mystery, I began to unravel a web of lies that she had spun around he
I couldn't help but smile; today was going to be a wonderful day. After promising my little ones for an entire month, I was finally going to take them out for ice cream when I get home. I was eagerly looking forward to it, and their excitement would be the cherry on top.As I entered Dante's office, a sudden sense of surprise overwhelmed me as my gaze landed on the piles of files sprawled across his desk.I was left feeling perplexed, because in all my time working here, I'd never seen such a large collection of paperwork.My curiosity was piqued, and I couldn't resist wondering what the reason behind this sudden surge of paperwork could possibly be.Was there a crucial project that I had missed out on? Or was there an urgent matter that required immediate attention?While I stood there pondering over the possibilities, my mind raced with questions and speculations, eager to unravel the mystery behind the sea of files.I observed Dante engrossed in a phone call, his gaze wandering bey
"Mark." I hugged happily."You look absolutely stunning." He complimented."Thank you." I blushed."What are you doing here?" I questioned him."Well, we did end up canceling lunch the other day, so I decided why not come here to have it with you." He joked and I slapped his shoulder playfully."It's supposed to be a secret, but my father is a stakeholder in Dailyplus care." Mark whispered in my ear making me gasp in surprise."My father believes that if I'm able to work hard then I'll get what's coming for me, he's one of those old-time guys that doesn't want to reward a lazy son." I chuckled nodding my head in understanding."Who is this beautiful young lady, Mark?" A seemingly older man tugged at my hand before placing a kiss.My eyes darted a little taking note that Dante while conversing was still observing everything that I was doing."Faith this is my father Ralph, Dad meets Faith, she's works as Mr. Harrison's personal assistant." Mark introduced."You are gorgeous, now I see
"Pitiful." My baby boy Aiden giggled looking at me in my dress.Immediately picked him up in my arms and kissed his chubby cheeks. "I believe the word is beautiful but thank you." He giggled as I peppered nonstop kisses to his cheeks."Woah! You are gorgeous. Drop them dead baby." Mavis whistled glancing me up and down."I still think this dress is a bit too revealing." I told her as she took Aiden from my arms."Nonsense! Stop trying to overdress Faith. You look beautiful. Go woo a few heads after all you did say you might get back out there and start dating." May winked at me.I blushed. "I'm not trying to woo anyone, May. I just want to look nice, that's all.""Well, whatever it is you're trying to do, you're definitely achieving it. You look stunning, Faith, and I know there'll be a few eyes on you tonight." May smiled and Ava towards her, leaving me to check my reflection in the mirror.She was right, I looked great.I hadn't told Dante I was attending the ball so hopefully I wa
Avelyn's PovI sat at my desk completely enthralled in my work. I couldn't help but take a few glances at Dante as he worked. Even though I hated him I couldn't help but admire the handsome man.His chiseled jaw, his unruly thick brown hair, and his piercing blue eyes mesmerized me. I was sure I was going to get caught staring and quickly turned my attention back to my work.I had to focus, I thought, this project was due soon and I needed to finish it. It was important to me and I wanted to do my best. I had to ignore this infatuation I had with Dante and stay focused on the task at hand.I wished the only thing I did was hate him considering what he actually did to me. I just needed to get through this entire month without him figuring out anything and I'll be quite fine and all those stupid feelings I thought was no longer there will go away once again.I'm trying to focus on the fact that he was the one who wronged me, not the other way around. I'm seeking comfort in the knowledge
Present day....--Dante's Pov--I was sitting in a quaint coffee shop in the city when my tracker Gabriel arrived and took a seat in front of me."I want you to look into this female, her name is Faith Emerson. Go to the deed poll office if you have to but get me every information that you can find on her, including her childhood and where she was born, her family, go to her past schools she claims to have gone which she has on record and find out if anyone knows of her." I told my tracker Gabriel."I will, but do you have any indication that she and Avelyn might be related? But, sir, she does have a somewhat similar appearance to Avelyn." Gabriel inquired while casting a quick glance at the image I had provided of Faith.I had good cause to think she was related to Avelyn, and I also had reason to think she was my Avelyn; if that were the case, I would make her suffer hard for leaving me and running away."I do, I also want you to follow her. I want to know where she goes and who she
Four months ago....Third party Pov....Faith bit her lip as she struggled mightily to resist the urge to try to phone my parents. One of the most heartbreaking things for her was having to leave her own parents behind without any means of communication when they have only been supportive of her.This was the second time she was about to contact her parents without wanting to think of the repercussions, placing both her and her babies in danger, but she was curious as to how they were doing. She just needed to hear their voice.Slowly Faith dialed her mother's phone number and as it rang two times she could hear as her mother picked up and her voice saying hello almost bringing her to tears."A-Avelyn?" Faith heard as her mother mumbled after only hearing silence from her end."If this is you Avelyn, please just say something and let me know that you're ok." Avelyn's mother said tearily on the phone just hoping she would at least say a word.Avelyn's father, who was nearby, called Dan
--Dante's Pov--I was instantly pulled to this woman the moment I set eyes on her, which hasn't happened since Avelyn in a long time.On faith, I noticed a vaguely striking similarity to Avelyn, which made me want to keep her near to me.I despised the fact that the reason I was so drawn to Faith was because of the wretched Avelyn, who entered my life and plundered everything before disappearing completely.I spent countless nights, days, weeks, and even years looking for her until giving up a few months ago. Before formally giving up my hunt for that woman after two years and a few months, I encountered those two occurrences that brought me to this place.If someone had told me that Avelyn would ever leave me, I would have wagered all I had and lost. In my opinion, she was practically the epitome of human perfection.In the past two years, I would have sacrificed anything for this woman, but not anymore. If I ever saw her again, I'm not sure what I'd do. The woman was the epitome of
