The light of morning crept through the curtains as I I woke up, dante’s heavy body still pinned me to the bed, his face now buried in my shoulder.

His breathing was uneven, his skin still burning against mine.

I tried to wiggle free, but his arms tightened around me even in sleep.

"Dante," I whispered, gently shaking him. "I need to get up."

He groaned but didn't wake.

Carefully, I managed to slip one hand free and brushed my fingers across his forehead, still feverish and my thumb accidentally grazed his lips, dry and hot.

Dante's eyes flew open instantly, Dark, glassy with fever, with something quiet unreadable.

I yanked my hand back. "You have a fever. I was checking—"

    A R I A N AI was sitting on the floor, my head in my hands, when the bedroom door opened I looked up, expecting Esmeralda with more food or a guard.But it was Dante.I bolted up to my feet, my heart jumping he was here he finally came.He stood by the door, just looking at me his face was hard to read, he did not look angry anymore. He just looked... tired. And sad.I did not think I just ran to him throwing my arms around his neck and buried my face in his chest."I am so sorry," I cried, my words muffled against his shirt. "I am so sorry, Dante I never meant to say those words I was scared and hurt and stupid please forgive me." Part of me felt like I was apologizing cause I meant it but another part of me knew it was only out of desperation to save my son, I needed to act well.For a second, he did not move he just stood there, stiff.Then, I felt his arms slowly wrap around me they held me tight as he let out a long, shaky breath."I know," he said, his voice rough.

The maids bring me food m will not let me out I am a prisoner in my own home.I have not seen Dante. He has not come to see me ever since that night I may have pushed him a little bit to the wall by why does he care? A few months back I could rot in hell for all he cares then why doesn’t he care now? It wasn’t making any sense to me. It is killing me though, the silence. The not knowing Is he still angry?

It was very late and the big building was quiet and dark everyone else had gone home hours ago.I was so tired my eyes hurt from looking at numbers all day and my back ached from sitting for so long.Dante had sent me a message hours ago."The driver is waiting downstairs to take you home.

I wanted him to trust me even more It would make it easier for me to find the papers for my father to get access to more of his resources.Now I wished I had listened.I walked out of the building the night air was cold, i growled at the cold as I looked for the car and driver, I had personally gone down to tell the driver to make sure he doesn’t tell Dante that I refuse to follow him, even though he was against it, I had to threaten him with his job.Poor man.I looked up and down the street and
