Natalie stood up from the couch the moment Dante entered the sitting room. His eyes were bloodshot and he was panting heavily, his hands were bloody and his shirt was ripped open.
He didn't look like the man who had left the house earlier, he looked like a different person.
"Dante?" She called giving him a questioning look before coming towards him.
He stepped out of her way immediately walking towards the stairs.
"Dante?" She called again reaching out for him.
"Don't. Touch. Me!"
Her mouth hanging open in shock, her eyes wide with fright as her hand hanged in the air. He had never spoken to her in that tone before and he didn't glance at her either.
His eyes were focused on the staircase.
"Xavier!"
She shuddered at the sound of his voice.
"Don't yell like that you're gonna wake the kids up," Natalie said quietly.
"Don't you dare tell me what I can do and what I can't do," Dante snapped at her.

Dante drove out of the house, his heart bleeding from anger as he tried to suppress the pain he was feeling deep in his heart.He didn't want to think about the reality that had hit him so hard in the face he felt paralyzed with fear.They should have told him at least rather than lying to his face. Everyone knew about it even Sophie and possibly Jared but nobody thought it wise to tell him.He couldn't believe that Natalie could hide such a fact away from him. He drove till he got to the beach and then he stopped. His heart ached but he wouldn't give in to the pain."Dante?"He whirled around at the sound of Sophie's voice behind him. He groaned when he saw Sophie standing in front of him looking concerned."What do you want?" He snapped.He had agreed to get her out of jail doesn't mean she could stalk him."I just had to know how you're doing," she replied, "Everyone lied to you even when you deserved to know the truth so I kn

It was cold and the windows were open, she stood up to shut the blinds when she noticed it was snowing heavily outside and yet Dante or Dario wasn't back.Wiping off a stray tear, she headed back to bed pulling her stockings to keep her feet from freezing off when her bedroom door was pulled open and Dante came inside smiling."Hey, beautiful. I didn't know you were up already.""Hmmph!" She huffed.He set the tray he was carrying on the bed and came towards her looking sober."I'm sorry, love," he smoothed her hair and pulled her close to himself inhaling her scent trying to rid him of Sophie's horrible memory."Let me go, Dante," she grumbled."Never," he muttered in her hair."When did you get home?" She asked finally."About an hour ago," he replied, "I watched you sleep, and then I decided to make you a hot chocolate as a peace offering because you were s

Natalie exclaimed.She was sitting in front of her vanity mirror while Trish applied her makeup and dressed her up. They were going Christmas shopping today but they had decided to start practicing how she would walk down the aisle."Are you sure you wanna get married to Dante?" Trish asked.Natalie took a deep breath and smiled. "It's all I've ever wanted so I'm sure."Trish clapped her hands smiling happily. "I'm so glad now let's do a little marching."Natalie stood up and took Trish's outstretched hands then she began to walk in her long heels."Walking with heels is it alright during pregnancy?" Trish asked.Natalie frowned. "I'm not gonna let you guys ruin my day!"Trish chuckled. "We're all looking out for you."Natalie laughed too. "Well, I'm not an invalid.""Glad you're n

She was surprised when she saw her grandfather's number displayed on her screen."Grandpa?" She answered immediately."Hey there Princess, I'm on my way to your house," he said.Natalie frowned. "Grandpa?"He sighed. "Alright, I'm with Sean and he has something to tell us.""What? No, I don't," she heard her father's whispering voice in the background."Yes, he does. Don't listen to him, Natalie," he chuckled."Grandpa, we aren't even home," Natalie said softly, "You could go do some bonding till we get back because we're gonna be gone for a while."The line went dead immediately and Natalie sighed. She didn't want to deal with them now especially since she's just convinced everyone to sta

Ricco paced up and down as he picked up the bags he was supposed to go with when his phone rang. He was surprised to see Natalie's number displayed on the screen."Hey, Nat," he said."Ricco, where are you?"He frowned. Why did her voice sound panicked? "I'm getting something together, I have to give it to your grandpa.""Can you not go to see him today, it's kinda urgent," she said."What is the matter, Nat?" He asked curiously."It's Trish."That single name sent his blood into a frenzy as he stared at his phone and then placed it back on his ears."Trish? What happened to her?" He finally asked.Her words didn't sound too clear in his ears after a while because he couldn't believe them. There was no way in hell that she could have been through such a gruesome ordeal."I don't know but I saw how you looked at Trish and I decided you were the best person to call because you care about her," Natalie continued."Damn r

Faustino roared with anger.Kol, the guy who stepped out of the car trembled visibly from fear as he looked away from the angry Don."D-don..." He stumbled on his words trailing off.Dante felt bad for the trembling 5ft4 guy standing with his black hair falling over his face. His eyes held a hint of fear and anger."Yes?" Faustino prompted, "Why are you here?""Ricco," Kol breathed out the name like it was poisonous."Ricco?" Faustino arched a brow at him. He was getting impatient with the guy who kept wasting his time on everything."Ricco did what? Fucking speak up!""Ricco sent me," Kol finally said.Faustino's eyes widened in anger. "How dare he defile my orders even though I warned him?!"Kol gulped. "He-he said he ne-need to do something.""Something more important than getting here himself?" Faustino asked

Dario asked.Dante shrugged. "Let's go find out."They headed to the sitting room and saw Lisa, Trish, and Natalie all seated and looking healthy while the fashion designers busied themselves with work."Hi, Lisa," Dario waved at her.She acknowledged with a nod."Long time no see, Lisa. You look big," Dante said as he stared at her protruding stomach."You think I look big?!" She asked in a high-pitched voi

But at least now, she would finally get a headstone where they could come keep flowers daily.She couldn't believe Lexi was finally gone but seeing the priest reading a lot of things from his Bible, making prayers and offerings, and seeing the solemn faces of everyone, she was convinced that Lexi wasn't coming back.Dante squeezed her hands as she walked up to the graveside.
