Dante Romano

I check my phone for the third time tonight. Nothing. No missed calls. No new messages. Annalissa hasn’t been calling unless I do. And when she answers… she sounds off.

Sometimes she sounds like Issa, sharp tongue, steady voice that knows how to calm the storm in me. Other times, she feels different. Hollow. As if I’m talking to someone else. And I don’t like it.

Rio’s been giving me constant updates. Says she’s fine, that she goes to Maddox global and comes back home. Says she acts weird sometimes but everything is normal.

So why the fuck does it not feel normal?

I toss the phone onto the table. Garzolo Teroso is still out there. We raided his hideout two nights ago, painted his walls with the blood of most of his men. Yet the bastard slipped through. A snake with more lives than he deserves.

Until I put a bullet through his skull myself, Issa won’t be safe. Or anyone else for that matter. That’s why I’ve had Rio monitoring her twenty-four seven.

  • The Mafia Devil’s Wrong Bride   086

    Dante RomanoTraffic had me caged like an animal. Horns blared and engines roared. And all I could think about was Annalissa.Ridiculous. I’m a grown man, not some adolescent boy itching to get home to his girlfriend who he hasn’t seen in four days. I don’t do longing. I don’t do this restless need that burns through my veins.I think It’s lust. That’s all.Four days without Annalissa under me, and my cock is demanding what belongs to it. That’s the only reason my pulse keeps drumming like this.I grip the wheel tighter, jaw clenched as the city finally spills open and I turn towards the mansion. The gates part and my car rolls up the lawn.When I step out, everything feels unusual. My home smells the same, but something inside me… tightens.The dining room is set, Teresa is fussing with plates. And there is Annalissa. Her hair is slicked back in a silk bun. She’s wearing a strapless gown that’s hugging her figure with the hem grazing mid-thigh. Glossed lips, painted eyes, a shim

    Annalissa Hale I pull my clothes back on in silence, my hands trembling as I pull the hoodie over my head. Pregnant. The word ricochets through me like a bullet. Pregnant with Dante’s child.It doesn’t make sense. It shouldn’t be possible. I asked her to check again. Twice. And both times she pointed at those tiny dots on the screen like they were undeniable proof of my downfall.How could this happen? How could I have let myself be so lost in him that I let this happen?I feel like I’ve betrayed myself. Betrayed Clarissa. Betrayed Dante. This wasn’t supposed to be part of the deal. I was supposed to walk away, give her back her life, and find a way to piece mine together again. Not… this.I can’t tell him or anyone for that matter. I can’t. If I do, it’ll ruin everything. I can’t raise a child on my own either. That idea terrifies me even more.What am I supposed to do now?There’s a knock on the door, and I flinch. Ronan steps inside. “Everything alright?”The doctor op

    Annalissa HaleDante is returning back to New York today and I try not to think about it. Have I cried over him a lot in the last four days that he’s been away? Maybe. But I’ve also been making progress.I tried reapplying to my old teaching job, but unfortunately, they already found a replacement and no space is left.I haven’t started looking at other places yet. The truth? I’ve been drowning too deep in my feelings to even try. I tell myself I need to be mentally ready before I can think of restarting my life. But every morning I wake up in this tiny apartment, it still feels like my world ended back in that mansion.And worse, my body feels like it’s giving up on me. Weakness, migraines that refuse to go away. I thought it was just from crying too much, from not eating enough. But it hasn’t stopped and Ronan noticed. He came over last night even after I told him I didn’t want anyone around.He knows about Clarissa, what she went through. He feels sorry for her but is happy tha

    Annalissa Hale Two days.That’s how long it’s been since I left. Since I gave Clarissa everything and crawled back into nothing.I’m slouched on my bed in my moderate apartment, the covers pulled to my chin. My thoughts are starting to eat me alive.I thought I’d feel… free. That when I walked out of that mansion for the last time, I’d breathe like I hadn’t in months. No more Dante. No more pretending. No more living a lie with my sister’s name hanging around my neck.But I don’t feel free.I feel hollow. So hollow that when Dante called my phone last night, I didn’t redirect the call to Clarissa. I answered instead. He told me he won’t be back until another two days. He told me to be safe and I almost confessed to him. That I loved him. That I couldn’t bear to think of a life without him. He doesn’t know yet what’s waiting for him when he gets back.I should be thinking about my life, about what’s next. How I’ll finally start over as me, Annalissa, not Clarissa. But the only

  • The Mafia Devil’s Wrong Bride   081

    Annalissa Hale “You’ve been protecting me all this time, protecting our family from ruin,” she says softly, tears slipping down her cheeks. “Living my life for me. Carrying a burden that was never yours. But I’m here now. I’ll take it back. You don’t have to keep pretending anymore. You don’t have to suffer for me.”My stomach twists violently, nausea clawing at my throat. Suffer. That’s what she calls it. As if being with Dante has been nothing but pain. As if I haven’t fallen in love with the very man I swore I’d only ever endure.I hate myself for it, but my heart clenches at the thought of leaving him. The way his walls crumble when he lets me close, the way his touch brands me as his, the way his voice growls my name like it belongs to him. I’ve fought so hard not to love him. And still, I lost.And now… I’m supposed to give him up.For her. For my sister, who’s been broken and hunted and begging me with tear-stained eyes. God, what kind of monster would I be if I didn’t
