Chapter 9

ANNA

The next day

Dante and Anna stood outside his house, both admiring the beautiful structure in front of them. It was a grand mansion with tall pillars and a large garden surrounding it. Anna couldn't help but feel nervous as they walked up the steps and into the house. She had never been to Dante's house before and she didn't know what to expect.

Dante led Anna through the front door and into a large hallway. The walls were painted a light shade of blue and there were several paintings hanging on them. Dante took Anna's hand and led her through the hallway and into a large living room. The room was spacious and filled with comfortable-looking furniture. There was a large fireplace in the center of the room and a piano in the corner.

"This is my house," Dante said, looking around the room. "I had it built a few years ago."

"It's beautiful," Anna said, still taking in her surroundings.

Dante smiled at her and led her over to the couch. They sat down and Dante put his arm around her.
