UNDRESSED BY THE MAFIA LORD Chapter 435: Does Eve Knows About This?
Marco let that stand. He knew better than to push at it."There's the offer," he said instead."Yes.""Dante said he'd give you The Covenant. Do you trust it?""No," Dimitri said. "I trust what he wants.""Which is?""The girl alive. A man who wants that badly enough will hand over things he can't take back." Dimitri turned from the window. "But I'm not going to take his word for it. When the time comes, I'll ask him something I already know the answer to. If he lies, I stop.""And if he doesn't?""Then I have what I've wanted for a year, from the one man I never expected to give it to me."Marco looked at him for a long moment. "You don't sound pleased.""I'm not," Dimitri said. "I'm useful to myself. It's not the same thing."He sat back down and pulled the phone across the desk."Call Armani," he said....Marco dialed. It rang four times before it was picked up."Pronto?" The doctor's voice was thin and wary."Dottor Armani," Dimitri said. "It's Dimitri Valentino."There was a lon
UNDRESSED BY THE MAFIA LORD Chapter 434: The Plan
POV: DIMITRI / MARCODawn came gray over Rome.Dimitri hadn't slept. He stood at the study window with a cup of coffee that had gone cold in his hand, watching the light move across the rooftops, when Marco knocked once and came in."You're up early," Marco said."I haven't been to bed."Marco glanced at the untouched whiskey glass on the desk, then at Dimitri's face. He set the folder he was carrying down beside it. "Something happened.""Dante called me last night."Marco went still. "On the private line?""On the private line.""Someone sold it," Marco said."Someone did. I want to know who by the end of the day." Dimitri turned from the window. "Sit down."Marco sat. Dimitri told him all of it: the four days without a dose, the tremors, the pill with two layers, the clinic that didn't exist, the three changes of delivery address. He told him that Luca had traced the compound as far as it would go and that Dante had finally said the name aloud. He told him what Dante had offered, a
UNDRESSED BY THE MAFIA LORD Chapter 433: Whatever You Want To Know About The Covenant
"You're asking me," Dimitri said."Yes.""Why should I?""Because she was your fiancée."The word sat on the line between them."Betrothed since she was a child," Dante went on. "You were supposed to marry her. For years someone has been poisoning her, and the family you were about to join never noticed. Not her father. Not her mother. Not you. If that means nothing to you, say so, and I'll hang up and find another way. But if it means anything at all, you have a reason to want to know who did this.""That engagement was a signature between two fathers," Dimitri said. "It was never a vow.""I know that.""Then you know it carries no obligation.""I'm not asking you to owe her anything," Dante said. "I'm telling you what she was."Dimitri looked at the dark door that led down the hall to the room where Eve slept. He thought of a girl at the far end of a long dinner table, pale and quiet. He had never wanted her. He had never wanted this for her either."I'll see what I can do," he said
UNDRESSED BY THE MAFIA LORD Chapter 432: I'm Calling About Isabella's Medication
"So you're saying Dimitri might already know Isabella is being poisoned?" Dante asked."I'm saying he probably suspects," Luca said. "And at minimum, he has resources to find answers. Resources you can access if you ask.""I'm not asking Dimitri for anything," Dante said."Then Isabella suffers," Luca said, and his tone was absolute. "Because without Dimitri's resources, we're stuck. The medication source is hidden too well. Prometheus Laboratories is too secretive. We can't find them fast enough with what we have."Dante listened to his second-in-command lay out the logic, and he knew Luca was right."If I call him," Dante said slowly, "he's going to know that I don't have the resources to handle this alone. He's going to know that I'm vulnerable. He's going to see it as weakness.""Or," Luca said, "he's going to see it as a man protecting the woman he loves. And Dimitri understands that. He's doing the same thing with his American woman."Dante considered this."What if he refuses?"

Because she trusted that her father had found legitimate medical care for her.And that trust, Dante understood with absolute clarity, had been weaponized against her."Isabella," Dante said, and his voice was absolutely controlled, "I need you to understand something. I don't think you're sick. I don't think you have an anxiety disorder."Isabella's eyes widened."What are you saying?" she whispered."I'm saying," Dante said carefully, "that I think someone has been deliberately giving you something that your body has become dependent on. And they've been disguising it as medical treatment.""That's not possible," Isabella said, but her voice was shaking. "My father would never....""Your father found the doctor," Dante said. "But that doesn't mean the doctor is legitimate. It doesn't mean the medication is what it appears to be."Isabella looked down at her trembling hands."So what you're saying is... I'm addicted to something I don't even understand," she said quietly."Yes," Dant
UNDRESSED BY THE MAFIA LORD Chapter 430: Do you regret coming here?
"No," Dimitri confirmed. "I'm not.""Even though Dante just demonstrated that he's capable of strategic planning and has resources and can execute complicated operations?""Even though," Dimitri agreed. "Because that's his problem now, not mine. He's chosen to involve himself with the Russo family and potentially The Covenant's attention. Those are his consequences to manage."He pulled her closer."My focus is here," he said, and he kissed her forehead. "My focus is on keeping you safe. Everything else is noise."Eve understood what he was saying: he'd compartmentalized. He'd looked at the situation, analyzed it, determined it wasn't relevant to his immediate concerns, and moved on.It was brilliant and cold and completely logical.It was also absolutely him."Don't worry about any of this," Dimitri said. "None of it concerns us."But even as he said those words, Eve understood that the world outside their penthouse sanctuary was moving in complex ways. That other people were making
