Dante was furious with himself as he drove away from his house and went straight to his office.
It had taken everything in him to not kiss her again. She wasn't a mere nanny, she was a very beautiful woman with her long jet-black hair, her deep brown eyes, her luscious curves that had been beneath him last night, and her plump red lips that he had kissed.
He could still remember her taste, she was so divine and he marveled at himself. He hadn't wanted any woman as much as he wanted this woman. Other women had thrown themselves at him but this one wasn't even trying and that baffled him.
Dude, she kneed you in the balls, his mind designed to point out.
He swerved his car into the parking lot, his face void of any emotion as he stepped into the Rodrigo Empire, a facade for all grandpa's other businesses.
The security officials at the door pushed open the double glass doors for him, giving him a quick bow that he barely acknowledged.
He stepped i
Natalie sat down on the Queen sized bed staring at the room decorated with lots of pony and unicorns designs. The Spongebob bedsheets were neatly arranged but the kid decided she would rather pace up and down than sit her butt down.Her concern wasn't Chloe's pacing, she was taking pity on the poor ground that had to suffer Chloe's stomping."Don't give me that look!"Natalie shrugged giving her an odd look. "You've been pacing since you got back from school!""Because the driver told me daddy went to the airport that's why he didn't pick me!" She cried.Natalie furrowed her brows in confusion. "So? He probably went to pick up some of his business partners."She rolled her eyes and Natalie couldn't help but frown.What was her deal anyway? She wondered curiously.The doorbell rang and the kid was scurrying out of the room faster than lightning"Hey! Chloe, wait for me!!" She yelled trying to catch up with the girl racing down the
Natalie frowned when her door was rudely swung open by none other than her royal bitchness, Sophie."Ever heard of knocking?" She asked fixing the brat a hard glare."What are you doing here?" Sophie asked Dante, ignoring her.Natalie was having none of that but she maintained her composure gritting her teeth."I just came to talk to her, Sophie," Dante replied.Natalie couldn't help but follow his hand movement as he tugged at his hair, looking frustrated."Since when do you talk with the maid in her room with the door closed?"Natalie face-palmed. At this moment she was getting ready to snap."No need to cause any trouble, Sophie," Dante snapped grabbing her wrist."Yes, better take her away!" Natalie snapped angrily."Now she's talking back at me!" Sophie cried glaring at Dante.Natalie rolled her eyes. "Please, stop being dramatic and leave."As if encouraged by an external force, Sophie whirled around and b
"Come out now and I may consider sparing your life!"Natalie's head jerked up as she locked eyes with the blue-eyed man."Grandpa!" Dante hissed.She was right, after all, he was Dante's grandfather, she mused as she walked towards them."Dante, you've not only gotten yourself a girl who ruined your engagement but also a spy?"So, she wasn't good at making first impressions, so what?You feel bad, her mind snickered.She ignored the tiny voice in her mind and focused on defending herself."I'm sorry, sir. I didn't mean it like that."She approached him cautiously with a smile."I'm sorry about Sophie it was a huge misunderstanding, one I'd be ready to clear up.""Oh of course you will clear it up," the man replied with a smug grin."Grandpa, I already told you it's not possible," Dante said th
Six Years Ago."Natalie, go get your brother, we have to eat lunch!"Natalie chuckled stepping out from her room to see her mom looking exasperated and glaring daggers at the retreating figure of Noah."Nat, can't catch me!" He yelled giggling still running towards the shed.She gave her mom a small shrug and headed to the shed at the back of the house where she was sure Noah was hiding.Opening the door to the shed, she grabbed him by the scruff of his shirt."You little brat!" Then she proceeded to tickle him."Let me go!" Noah giggled as she continued her ticklish assault on himJust then they heard the crunching of car tires in their driveway.Noah bolted for the garage."Daddy!""Noah, wait!" Natalie exclaimed grabbing his wrist and pulling him back.
"So, you are the one causing Sophie heartbreak?"Natalie rolled her eyes as she glared at the 6ft4 of Jared standing before her with an annoying smirk on his lips."You two know each other?"Dante's sharp voice interrupted her from trying to shoot missiles at Jared with her eyes."Sort of.""She's my girlfriend."Natalie's mouth hung open as she stared at Jared. His girlfriend? Ha! In your dreams, mister, her mind snapped."I'm not your girlfriend, idiot!" She snapped poking a finger on his chest.Ouch! His chest was as
Consequences be damned! Dante wanted to scream but he knew there would be consequences for every action he took that wasn't justified by his grandfather.He just hadn't expected the consequence so early, he mused as he stepped out of the elevator.He was standing in front of a grand foyer with a golden chandelier. A spiral staircase right in front of him.Two armed guards stood at the edge of the stairs and he massaged his temples, a headache already starting to form.The old man couldn't give him a minute, he just had to call him immediately he arrived home.It's not been up to an hour when he returned home after ending things with Sophie and her family when he received the dreadful call from
Natalie stared at the retreating back of her boss and felt goosebumps crawl up her arms. She could sense the fear in him when he had yanked his daughter's room door open.After the incident at Sophie's house, Chloe was becoming close to her and they were slowly becoming friends.She still couldn't shake off the thought that something was wrong with Dante.The shrill ringing tone of her phone yanked her back to reality."Nat!"She winced at the loud excited voice of her best friend."Hey, Lexi.""What's the matter, Nat?"
Alaric Rodrigo paced up and down in his penthouse his thoughts drifting to a certain young woman. This woman, he mused, would be an obstacle to his plans and he hated obstacles.But why he hadn't ordered for her immediate elimination was what he couldn't fathom. Probably because he hadn't expected anyone to say no to such a huge sum of money.He grabbed his glass and downed his drink in one gulp. The hot whisky went down his throat burning him but hell it felt good as his eyes stung from unshed tearsThe incessant ringing tone of his phone irritated him and he grabbed the phone. His grandson's name flashed on the screen."Speak.""What's this I'm hearing about Dante?"
