The Bride He Bought Bonus Chapter
𝙍𝙊𝙒𝘼𝙉 I only gave her one job. One flipping job. Something so easy, a child could have done it. Yet the stupid woman couldn't even do that without getting caught. My fingers tighten around the steering wheel as the car moves along the road. The city rolls by, but my eyes stay forward. I don’t drive fast, there's no need to, not when I've already won this part. The plan with Mama had been simple: ensure she was sick enough to not only bring Dante back to Milan but keep him tied here so I could monitor him and know were to hit him best. I need to hurt him in a way that completely crumbles him and just targeting his money won't be enough. He's resourceful enough to make it right back. Things had been going well. He was settling comfortably with his wife. But now all my plans could collapse before they even began, all because of Rina. I shouldn't have trusted that weak minded, sloppy old hag. How long before she buckles under pressure and spills my name to save herself?

𝘿𝘼𝙉𝙏𝙀 Alera’s breathing steadies against my chest. She’s asleep, her face tucked close and her hand rests lightly on me. This feels like the most natural thing in the world, holding my wife while everything around seems to crash and burn. I stare at the ceiling and my arm tightens around her. I don’t know why I haven’t moved it or why I kissed her. I don't know why I'm letting myself get to comfortable in her warmth. Getting too close to her will haunt me in the long run. Very dangerous, especially if she turns out to be someone I shouldn't have trusted. And yet… I don’t regret it. That’s the problem. I should keep her at arm’s length, remind her what we are to each other. But every time she looks at me with those expressive eyes, I forget reality. I shut my eyes, but instead of sleep, the night drags me backward. *** Rina’s face swims into view, streaked with tears. Her voice is hoarse from hours of crying. She’s tied to a chair in one of my properties on the outs

𝘼𝙇𝙀𝙍𝘼 Dante shifts beside me, turning in the sheets like he can’t find rest. His arm falls against the mattress, and when his eyes open, they land directly on me. "What?” He exclaims. I jolt, startled that he caught me staring. My head jerks up to meet his bewildered face. “I..nothing,” I whisper quickly, but my gaze betrays me and lingers on his hand. Following my gaze, he slowly turns his knuckles to the faint light in the room. “You… you’re injured.” He glances at the damage and shrugs. “It’s nothing.” “It’s not nothing,” I insist, my voice is sharp despite the dryness in my throat. “There’s blood all over it. I’ll… I’ll get something to clean it up.” I nearly trip over the sheets as I start fumbling around the room, my eyes darting for where I last saw a box of first aid. “Alera.” He rasps. I don’t answer. “Alera,” he repeats, with more force which has me flinching. But I still don’t look at him, instead I continue to move, toward the dresser. My min

𝘼𝙇𝙀𝙍𝘼 The music room trembles with noise from down the hall. I flinch, nearly dropping the album Elena had just placed in my hand. The calm we’d shared seconds ago, talking about her favorite singers, is completely shattered. Elena’s brows furrow as she lifts her head sharply. “Che cos’è?” she whispers. The shouts grow louder. They’re raw, angry, and multiplied. My throat goes dry. “It’s nothing, just—just the others,” I rush out, forcing my voice calm. “Stay seated, please.” "Nothing? That can't be nothing Cara. Can't you hear them. They...they are fighting." Elena pushes herself up from the armchair. Her thin hands shake as she grips the armrest. “No, no, let me—” I move quickly, sliding to her side and supporting her weight. She leans on me, weak but determined. The sounds are impossible to ignore now—screams in Italian, thuds, a crash. We make it out to the corridor. Luciana is the first person I see. She’s standing stiffly outside the heavy door, her eyes wet.

𝘿𝘼𝙉𝙏𝙀 First, it's silence that stretches for so long, time seems to have come to a halt. Then, Alessia breaks it by chuckling humorlessly, as her arms fold across her chest. “Drink the tea? What in the world is going on, Dante?” I ignore her. My focus stays locked on Rina. "You won't drink the tea?" I rasp. "Signore, drink the tea? Why?" She half laughs. She’s holding the tray like it weighs a hundred kilos. Her eyes dart from me to Luciana, then linger a second too long on Rowan. Her breathing becomes shallow and uneven. “Sit,” I order flatly. Rina’s lips part, but no words come. Her gaze flicks around the room like she’s searching for an escape. Luciana’s brows knit. “Dante, what is this?” Rowan frowns and steps forward. "This is ridiculous.” I don’t look at any of them. I take a step closer to Rina. “Drink it.” Her knees tremble. She clutches the cup tighter. “Signore Moretti… please...” Bianca shoots off the bed and rushs to Rina’s side. She grabs her

𝘿𝘼𝙉𝙏𝙀 My heart sinks as I stare at the word. Aconite? The paper shakes flimsily in my trembling fingers, and I shove it at the doctor. “What is this... Aconite? That’s poison? Tell me.” The man adjusts his glasses, clearing his throat. “Yes, Signore Moretti. Aconitum napellus, more commonly known as monkshood or wolfsbane. It’s one of the most dangerous naturally occurring toxins. Even a small dose can cause nausea, vomiting, weakness and irregular heartbeat. In higher or repeated doses…” He trails off, studying my face carefully. “It causes paralysis of the respiratory system. That is...death.” I stare blankly, my head buzzing. “You’re saying my mother’s been drinking this?” He nods slowly. “Traces were found in the sample you provided. Not an immediate lethal dose, but enough to weaken the body over time. Prolonged exposure makes recovery almost impossible.” My mouth feels dry. “So it mimics other illnesses?” “Yes. The symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of brea
