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

    I watched as Dante locked his bedroom door, noting that the room was dimly lit, creating an atmosphere of mystery and allure. The soft glow from a few strategically placed lamps danced across the walls, casting enticing shadows.As he turned to face me, the room seemed to shrink, and the air grew charged with anticipation. Our eyes locked in an intense gaze, and the unspoken desire between us was obvious. The subtle scent of vanilla filled the air, adding to the alluring atmosphere.In a daring move, Dante took slow, deliberate steps towards me, his confident demeanor heightening the anticipation and making my heart race frantically within my chest with every step he took.Now standing just inches away from me, my breath quickened, and I felt a mixture of excitement and nervousness. With a gentle touch, he traced his fingers along the curve of my cheek, sending delightful shivers down my spine. The intimacy of the moment was overwhelming, and I found myself drawn closer to him, yearni

    In the dimly lit room, I observed Dante tenderly placing Ava and Aiden down to sleep, his strong yet gentle hands cradling their small form with utmost care.As I gazed at him, it was impossible to deny the sheer handsomeness that radiated from his every move, especially when he interacted with our twins. A pang of regret washed over me, knowing that I had not fought harder for our relationship, choosing instead to give in to whatever Catherine said and flee.With a hint of reluctance, Dante momentarily hesitated to leave not wanting to ever leave the twins' side. His eyes lingered on them, a mix of adoration and wistfulness etched on his face.As he leaned down to plant soft kisses on their little foreheads, my heart swelled with emotions, recognizing the sweetness of the moment yet burdened by the realization that I had deprived him of these precious moments with his babies.

    Dante's PovThe shock and anger that surged through me upon discovering that someone close had cruelly kidnapped my beloved children were unutterable.The mere thought that this person, whom I had trusted, could commit such an atrocious act left me with a burning resolve to bring my children back safely and punish her immensely.For me, the notion of sending Catherine to prison felt inadequate. Prison was designed for humans, but Catherine's actions had been nothing short of inhumane. She had committed a heinous act, betraying the trust I had mistakenly placed in her.In ridding ourselves of her presence, I couldn't help but feel conflicted about the justice she deserved. Nevertheless, the safety and well-being of my children were paramount, and I knew I had to act swiftly to protect them.After ensuring Catherine was no longer a threat, I rushed to untie Ava and Aiden, my heart pounding with a mixture of joy and relief.The sight of their tear-streaked faces tugged at my soul, and th

    Catherine's PovPanic gripped me as I took a step back in fright, I realized that my carefully constructed scheme was about to crumble. But amidst the chaos, an unexpected turn of events unfolded.Suddenly, a voice boomed from the shadows, cutting through the air like a sharp blade. "Catherine," he called out, his tone both familiar and filled with a mix of surprise and disappointment.Startled, I turned my gaze towards Dante, who stood there, his expression a complex blend of anger and displeasure. My mind raced, desperately trying to comprehend how he had discovered my secret. I had been so careful, or so I thought."Dante, how... how did you find me?" I stammered, struggling to regain my composure.A faint displeasure played on his lips as he took a step forward making my heart drop. "You're quite the actress, Catherine. I'll give you that," he replied, his voice tinged with a hint of bitterness. "But even the best performers leave behind traces, breadcrumbs that eventually lead to

    Catherine's PovWith a triumphant smile on my lips, I couldn't help but relish in Avelyn's stupidity. How could she possibly think she had a chance to reclaim Dante's heart? From the very instant my eyes met his, I claimed him as mine, and no one else could lay a claim on him, even if he happened to be married.Manipulating Avelyn turned out to be a surprisingly an effortless task. Her naivety and innocent devotion to Dante made her an easy target.She was hopelessly in love, willing to sacrifice anything for him, and oblivious to the fact that Dante was devoted to her and would never cheat. She even placed his happiness above hers, which was an added advantage for me, as I prided myself on being selfless.Fortunately, our close ties as family friends worked to my advantage. When I decided to seize a better opportunity in New York, my family's connections paved the way.Through a close family friend of Dante's, I managed to secure a position in his esteemed company. It was a stroke of

  • The Billionaire's Secret Twin Babies    40. Smarter than you think.

    Dante's PovAs I approached Catherine in the living room, a mix of concern and curiosity etched across my face, I gently inquired, "How are you feeling, Catherine?" My voice carried a subtle hint of empathy, acknowledging the pain she must have endured at the hands of Avelyn's explosive outburst that left her with a broken nose.Catherine's eyes met mine, a glimmer of relief flickering within them. With a surprising touch of resilience, she responded, "I'm actually doing much better now. As long as Avelyn confines herself to her room, I can't help but feel a sense of relief. It's an opportunity for all of us to regain a semblance of safety."I offered my apology, sincere and remorseful, acknowledging the upset Avelyn's uncharacteristic behavior had caused. "Once again, I apologize for Avelyn's boisterous behavior," I expressed, my words filled with a weight of responsibility. "To witness such a profound change in her demeanor is truly unsettling, especially considering her past nature.
