Dante

“So you are really not going to say anything?” Adriano said. He was more whiny than usual.

“You need to get better first,” I replied.

“I already told you, I’m fine.”

I sat in Adriano’s room reading a book, trying to keep him company. I should be working, but I couldn’t bring myself to concentrate.

My mind kept going back to last night.

She was perfect.

Her innocence didn’t take away from the magic that she was. If anything, it made it stronger.

She was hesitant but willing at the same tim

    AriaI still couldn’t shake the feeling Dante was keeping something from me, but I decided not to add to his stress.Over the next couple of days, I barely saw him. He either left before I woke up or came back after I had fallen asleep.There was always one meeting, phone call, or something else.Even when he managed to come to bed early, his mind was always far away.I wanted to do something, anything, to make him feel better.Which was exactly how I found myself standing in the kitchen at five in the morning making coffee for a mafia don.Honestly, if someone had told me a month ago that this would become my life, I would have laughed in their face.“You know,” Lola said as she walked in with Mia on her hip, “I didn’t peg you as the type to wake up so early to make coffee. I guess marriage does change people.”She set Mia down on the high chair.“Do you even know what you are doing?”“Yes, I do,” I replied, pouring the coffee into a mug. “It’s for Dante.”“Why? What did he do?”“Wha

    DanteBy the time I got back to our room, it was past midnight already.Our room.It felt strange but right.Aria was curled up on the couch, fast asleep with a book in hand.I paused at the doorway and took a moment to simply watch her.Her presence alone was enough to make a bad day better.I walked further into the room. The floor creaked beneath me and her eyes fluttered open immediately.“You are back,” she muttered sleepily.“Go back to sleep.”Instead, she rubbed her eyes and slowly stood up.“I haven’t seen much of you all day.”I huffed out a quiet laugh.“You didn’t have to wait for me, princess.”“I know,” she said, wrapping her arms around my neck, “but I wanted to.”I love how free she had gotten with me. Even her display from the kitchen had surprised me, but I didn’t mind it.Wrapping my hands around her waist and pulling her closer, I replied,“You fell asleep with the book.”“I was reading.”“You were drooling on it.”Her mouth dropped open in offense.“I do not drool

    DanteThe moment I stepped into my office, reality set in.Adriano walked in behind me. He was still pale and unfit but, ignoring all medical advice, he decided to be here for the meeting.Franco was already inside, seated with his laptop in hand, looking pissed.Salvatore stood by the window smoking while Marco flipped through paperwork on the table.“You look terrible,” Marco said to Adriano, who slowly dropped to a seat, clearly still in pain.“And you should mind your business,” Adriano replied.Salvatore smirked slightly.Ignoring them, I glanced at Franco.“How are we with the cover up?”“We were able to get all the security footage before the press got a hold of it,” he said, finally looking up from his screen.“But, we have a new overzealous detective who got the video before we did.”My jaw tightened.We didn’t need the hassle right now.“How do we deal with this?”“It’s already dealt with,” Franco replied, leaning into his chair. “It would have been nice to be given a heads
