The Heiress’ Revenge EPILOGUE
A R I A N A One year later…The sun was warm on my face as the garden was full of noise, the good kind. The kind made by laughter and running feet and the happy shrieks of little kids.I watched my boys and girls roam about.Asher and Leo and the twins, were chasing a bright blue ball. The twins were celebrating their 5 birthday.A little further away Isabella was trying to teach Sofia how to play hopscotch on the patio stones she’d drawn with chalk. Sofia at five was taking it very seriously her tiny tongue poking out in concentration.My hand rested on the round hard swell of my stomach. The bump was getting big now another boy…. We’d found out last week. And I can’t believe it’s been a year, a whole year since the storm ended.My father that had escaped from prison, had been the key. He’d been caught trying to flee the country when he was cornered and after police took him to questioning, he started talking. He talked about a deal. With Angelina and how they’ve been involved

Ariana’s POVMy phone buzzed on the nightstand in Marcus’s guest room the screen lit up the dark making my brows furrow, wondering who it was.I moved to it my eyes falling on th caller Id, my heart did a crazy painful flip part of me wanted to throw the phone against the wall. Another part wanted to grab it and never let go.I picked it up. My finger hovered over the answer button as I took a deep shaky breath, I slid it to answer not say anything.“Ariana?” His voice came through. It wasn’t the cold flat voice from my office.It was his voice, my Dante’s voice cracked and rough and full of pain.“What do you want?” I asked my own voice sounded small and cold.“I… I need to talk to you please, Marcus told me… he told me you know.”“Know what?” I snapped the anger flooding back hot and fast. “Know that you lied to me for weeks? Know that you have a whole other family living in our house? Or know that you and your sick nephew and your ex-wife are playing some sick, twisted game and

Dante’s POVI’ve been seated at my desk trying to work for hours but nothing seems to be working.I’ve just been staring, at the wall, at nothing my mind was a white, empty noise. If I let myself think I would break. So I didn’t think. I just sat.The door to my office flew open crashing against the wall.I looked up my eyes meeting Marcus’s, he stood his eyes in irritation and disasapointment He just walked right up to my desk and slammed both hands down on it.“How dare you,” he growled. His voice was low and shaking. “How dare you do that to her.”I knew who he meant. Ariana. My heart which felt like a cold stone in my chest gave a painful throb but I shoved the feeling down.I leaned back in my chair trying not to make a blank face“I don’t know what you’re talking about Marcus and this is not a good time.”“Don’t you lie to me!” he shouted. “Don’t you sit there and act cool with me! I saw her, i just spent the whole night with her and she is wrecked! broken into a millio

A R I A N A"Sit. I'll get you some water. Or tea? Something stronger?""Water please " I whispered my throat was raw from crying.As promised marcus picked me up and brought me to his place. He came back with a glass and sat in the chair opposite me, leaning forward, his elbows on his knees. "Now start from the beginning. Tell me everything."I did, I told him about Melissa arriving. The argument in the garden, how Dante took her side. The crushing loneliness. Then, Angelo revealing the truth that Melissa was Dante's ex-wife, that Leo was his son. "I went to Angelo's I was desperate… I had no where to go after the incident in Dante’s office. I thought I could stay there for the night before o figure things out and he could maybe help." I took a gulp of water. "But he wasn't alone in his house, she was there, Melissa."Marcus's eyes widened. "At Angelo's?""Yes and I heard them talking. I heard everything." I repeated their conversation word for word as I remembered it the plan and

A R I A N AMy legs moved on their own one step back then another as I tried to log me breath so they don’t hear me.I had come to Angelo’s apartment to seek comfort just like I did the other time when we had a fight.After what happened in the office, I didn’t have anywhere to go soI came here. Seeing them both together made my heart crunch in pain, it made my blood went cold. It couldn’t be.Angelo’s voice was smooth and approving.This was all part of their plan… how stupid could I be?“I told you I could handle him. Dante and I… we have a history.”Melissa’s voice.I had listened to every single word. The plan. The lies. The manipulation. The divorce papersa “masterstroke.” The children—a cruelty she decided on because she didn’t care. She wanted Dante miserable. I stumbled back and back into my hip hit a small side table a vase wobbled but I was quick to grab it, my fingers fumbling, and it settled with a soft clink.Had they heard?Panic, pure and electric, shot through

M E L I S S AI smiled as the door clicked open, I didn’t bother to turn I knew who it was, Angelo came up behind meHe looked… pleased. He set his hands on my shoulders.“You did a great job,” he said his voice a low hum in the quiet room. “Truly. I have to admit, I didn’t think you could make it all seem so… possible in a very short time.”I allowed myself a small tight smile in the reflection. “I told you I could handle him. Dante and I… we have a history and you know that… I know him better than anyone. I know what makes him feel guilty. What makes him panic. What makes him shut down.” I turned around to face him leaning back against the cool window. “I know every single one of his buttons All I had to do was push them in the right order.”Angelo’s eyes were bright admiring as he reached out and took the wine glass from my hand, taking a sip himself. “The divorce papers were a masterstroke. Handing them to her like that so cold and clinical. I almost believed it myself watching.”
