Painful and joyful memories from the past

As soon as I closed the café, I went straight to Uncle Pedro. Diego would probably tell Dante that he drove me about an hour and a half away to meet someone. Dante will definitely ask, since I told him I was going to see a friend. There’s no point in lying to him now… but what the hell should I say?

“We’re here,” Diego said.

“You can go. I’ll come back on my own.”

“I can’t. I’ve been ordered to take you back home and nowhere else.”

I took a deep breath and stepped out of the car.

I knocked on the door, and after a few moments, Uncle Pedro opened it.

“Eveline, I thought you weren’t coming anymore.”

I walked up to him and hugged him.

“I promised, didn’t I? I came as soon as I finished work.”

“It’s already late, and you must be tired. Why come all this way just for me?”

“I came by car, and I’m not tired. Besides, I brought you a strawberry cake—your favorite.”

He laughed and stepped aside so I could come in. I placed the cake, which I had taken f

  • Torn between love and hate    Chapter 72

    The Devil’s Judgment:DanteThat night…I stood in front of the house where I’d brought Eveline with my own hands to be tortured — the place where I let go of her hand and left her alone. Her eyes from that day are burned into my memory every time I hear those words; every detail is there, and yet I still left her.The house was slowly being swallowed by flames. Screams and shrieks cut through the night. People wrapped in fire stumbled out, one after another.When those I’d come for finally burst out terrified and smoking, seeing how scared, desperate and disoriented they were made my blood surge.“Cold night, wouldn’t you agree?” Rage threaded my voice.Their eyes widened the moment they turned and saw me.“You did this?” Henry roared.“That’s right,” I said.“Why did you do this?” Brianna asked, clutching her mother, her voice shaking. “Was this to get revenge on Eveline?” Her question made me laugh — a sound I fought to keep from turning into a shove that would put a bullet through

    Broken SoulsEvelineAs soon as I woke up, I got ready and went to see John — it was finally time to have the cast removed from my hand.“Did you miss me?” I teased as I entered.John flinched at the sound of my voice and turned around sharply. He looked startled — almost frightened.“What are you doing here?”I frowned.“What do you mean, what am I doing here? You told me to come — it’s time to remove the cast. Don’t you remember?”“Oh… right,” he muttered, slapping his forehead lightly, forcing a nervous laugh.“What’s wrong?”“Nothing. Why would anything be wrong?”“John, something happened. Tell me. Are you in some kind of trouble?”“No,” he said quickly, but avoided my eyes. I stepped closer.“Look at me, John. What happened?”“Last night…” He hesitated, searching for the right words. “Last night, your husband was here. He asked about you. I’m sorry — I didn’t want to tell him, but he’s dangerous, Eveline. He’s… terrifying. I know you don’t tell him everything, but—”My breath ca

    The Truth Unveiled:DanteI spent the entire night in my office. I thought burying myself in work would distract me, but it didn’t. Eveline’s words wouldn’t leave my head for a second.She’s living alone now, and I have no damn idea what to do about it. Even though my men are watching her house non-stop, the thought of her being alone keeps eating me alive.I got up and went downstairs to clear my head. I thought maybe if I threw myself into work, I’d finally stop thinking about her. But before I could leave, Enzo walked through the door.“Where are you going?”“To the office.”“You said you wanted to talk. Hold on—what the hell happened to your forehead? You were fine last night.”“We’ll talk in the car.”I walked out and got into his car.“Where’s your car?”“I smashed it.”“You what?”“I crashed it.”“When? Where?” He looked at me like I’d lost my mind. “What the hell is going on with you lately?”“I don’t know. And that’s what pisses me off the most. I can’t focus on anything when

    Between Laughter and SilenceAfter the café, we went back to the university and attended the remaining lectures. I hated the idea of going into Davis’s class, but I had no choice. It was my final year, and I had to do everything I could to finish with high grades.After lectures, I went straight home to pack my things. I also needed to talk to Margaret and Lorenzo. When I arrived, Dante and Enzo were there too. Great — now I’d have to say everything in front of all four of them, especially since Noah and the girls would be here soon.As soon as they noticed me, I walked toward them. All four of them were watching me, which only made it harder to speak, but time was running out.“I just wanted to thank you for letting me stay here, and for treating me like your own,” I said. Dante’s eyes were fixed on me — he knew exactly what I was about to say. “But it’s time for me to leave. I really appreciate everything you’ve done. I don’t even know how to repay your kindness.”Margaret stood up

    The Matter of Time– “With you, for the first time, I felt what it truly means to be calm… to be safe,” she whispered, as if the words had been trapped inside her for far too long.Something inside me shifted at her confession.“With you, for the first time, I felt what it truly means to be calm and safe.”I didn’t understand what she meant.“But you destroyed everything, Dante.” Her voice trembled with a fragile laugh, sharp as a wound. “You showed me what peace could feel like… and then you took it away.”Her words cut deep, awakening a soundless roar inside my chest. I tried to speak, but the words got stuck in my throat. I hadn’t realized she had never felt safe—until me.“What do you mean?” was all I managed to say.She shook her head and turned away.“Nothing.”She took a step to leave, but I caught her hand, stopping her.“Eveline, what do you mean? Before me… you didn’t feel safe? Why? Tell me.”Her eyes met mine, tired and hollow. She pulled her hand free.“When I begged you

    Too Late?I couldn’t sleep a wink all night. As soon as the sun rose, I headed to the bathroom, got ready, and called a taxi. The moment it arrived, I got into the black car and went to the university. My first lecture was with Mr. Davis. No matter how much I hated seeing him, I had to ignore him. All through the lecture, those words kept replaying in my head.As soon as the lecture ended, I barely had time to stand when he appeared next to me.“Are you okay, Miss Adams?” His gaze shifted to my hand. I looked at him seriously and calmly said I was fine, but he didn’t move from his spot.“I was worried about you… you haven’t shown up all this time. Is everything alright at the university?”Annoyance was now written all over my face, which made him stop smiling.“There’s no need to worry about me. I’m fine. Now, if you don’t mind, I need to head to my next class.”I tried to walk away, but he didn’t move. He was staring into my eyes, and suddenly a shiver ran down my spine. I felt fear—
