Dante

The day ran like it always did, efficiently and well controlled.

By noon, I had already handled two disputes at the docks. Someone had even brought a paper for me to sign, but it was only when I took a good look at it that I realized this agreement shouldn't even be on paper at all. I wondered why this mistake still occurred with my so-called competent men.

Aside from that, everyone on the ground was obedient and alert. They didn’t question my authority, and that was how things stayed int

  • Uncle, ruin me   Chapter 11

    Jullian.I was dressed up, and ready to go, I looked at the mirror, again and took a deep breath. The internship thing was still new to me and it was too early to back out. I took another deep breath and headed out. I was halfway down the stairs when I heard noises. First, it was a thud, then it was grunts.It echoed faintly through the lower level of the house, just enough to pull my attention away from the mental checklist running through my head.I slowed down and listened to it. The sound came from the left hallway. I hadn’t even explored that area yet. I only walked through once.The door at the end of the hallway was slightly open, and the sound was louder now but more controlled. I pushed the door open just enough to look inside. And immediately wished I hadn’t.Dante stood in the middle of the room, shirtless. Sweat beads clung to his skin, tracing the lines of his back and shoulders as he drove his fist into a heavy bag suspended from the ceiling.That was what was making th

    DanteThe day ran like it always did, efficiently and well controlled.By noon, I had already handled two disputes at the docks. Someone had even brought a paper for me to sign, but it was only when I took a good look at it that I realized this agreement shouldn't even be on paper at all. I wondered why this mistake still occurred with my so-called competent men.Aside from that, everyone on the ground was obedient and alert. They didn’t question my authority, and that was how things stayed intact.Alejandro himself barely needed to say anything anymore. A look was enough and I handled the rest, that was my role.“You’re distracted again.” I didn’t look up from the file in my hand.“I’m not.”Alejandro didn’t respond immediately. He never did when he knew he was right.I set the file down slowly. “What is it?”He leaned back in his chair, studying me. “You tell me.” There was no irritation in his tone, he was just observing me. “There’s nothing to tell.”“It’s the boy.”I stilled.“Yo

  • Uncle, ruin me   Chapter 9

    JulianI barely saw Dante the next morning. Which was probably for the best.After last night, I wasn’t sure what I would say to him or what he would say to me.“You are alive because I say you are.”The words had followed me upstairs, into bed, and into sleep. They sat heavy in my chest even now, as I stood in the kitchen with a cup of coffee I wasn’t drinking.Dante walked in exactly at 7:12, in his dark suit, black tie, and unreadable expression like nothing had happened.“Your car is outside,” he said.I looked up. “My car?”“The firm sent a driver.”“Right.”I waited, for an apology, an explanation. Something.It never came.“Your badge is in the envelope on the counter,” he said. “Don’t lose it.”Then he walked out, just like that. I stared after him, irritation curling under my skin. Unbelievable.The law firm occupied nearly thirty floors of a glass building downtown. It was tall and polished and slightly intimidating The kind of place where everyone looked expensive and impor

  • Uncle, ruin me   Chapter 8

    DANTE’S POVBy the time I left the house, Julian was upstairs. I knew because one of the cameras caught him pacing the front of his room twenty-three seconds after I shut the front door.He was restless and curious, already testing the edges of the cage.I watched the feed for another moment from my phone before locking the screen and sliding it back into my pocket.He was safe. That was all that mattered.The black car was already waiting at the curb. Tico stepped out from the driver’s seat the moment he saw me.“Everything clear?” I asked“Yes, sir,” he answered and I got in without another word.The city changed the farther we drove.The quiet, expensive neighborhood Julian had seen was only one face of it. It was like a polished mask. Beneath it, there were older streets, darker ones even. Some buildings looked abandoned from the outside but held more secrets than most people could survive.We stopped in front of a warehouse by the docks. From the outside, it looked dead. The cobw

    JULLIAN“Get dressed.”I blinked, looking up from the notes spread across the small desk in my room. “I am dressed.”Dante stood by the door, leaning against the frame like he owned the space, which, technically, he did.“Not for where we’re going.”“And where is that?”“Around.”I frowned. “Around… where?”“The neighborhood,” he answered absent-mindedly.I stared at him for a second, trying to figure out if this was another one of his vague tests.“You’re taking me on a tour?”“Yeah. What does it look like? I’m making sure you don’t get lost.”“I can use Google Maps.”His lips twitched faintly, but it wasn’t quite a smile.“I know.” he paused “But you’re still coming with me.”There it was again, that calm and certain tone. Like arguing wouldn’t change anything.I exhaled, pushing back my chair. “Give me five minutes.”“I’ll give you three.”What is this? The military?The neighborhood looked… normal, too normal to be honest. There were clean streets, quiet buildings, and cars parked

  • Uncle, ruin me   Chapter 6

    DanteJulian settled in faster than I expected and that should have been a good thing. Except it wasn’t.I stood in the living room with a glass of whiskey untouched in my hand, watching him from across the space without making it obvious. He moved around like he belonged there, opening drawers, adjusting things, and placing his belongings with quiet precision.Most people didn’t do that in a place like this. Not without permission. He paused by the shelf near the window, running his fingers lightly over the spine of a book before sliding it out. He flipped through it briefly, then put it back exactly where he found it. He was careful and observant. He wasn’t just settling in. He was learning.I took a slow sip of my drink, letting the burn settle at the back of my throat.“Do you rearrange everything you touch?” I asked.He didn’t turn immediately. Just adjusted the book slightly, then glanced over his shoulder.“I put it back where it was.”“Did you?”A small frown formed between hi
