Melanie“You didn’t have to give me a ride to art class,” I said, shifting uncomfortably in the leather seat of Leonardo’s car. My voice came out lighter than I intended, almost defensive. I didn’t like being driven around like a child.Leonardo, of course, kept his hands steady on the wheel, eyes on the road like a soldier. “I’m just looking out for you,” he said simply.I wanted to roll my eyes and say, Stephen and Adam are doing a damn good job of that already. Those two would practically follow me to the bathroom if I didn’t slam the door in their faces. But the car engine had started, and I decided to just… relax. Or at least pretend to.Except I couldn’t.Yesterday’s event clawed its way back into my head. Dante. His hands. His mouth. The way he’d torn through me like a storm and left me both terrified and… God help me, wanting more. I shifted in my seat. My thighs still ached. There was a sting between my legs that reminded me too much of him, and I hated that my body remembe
Dante“You look like someone that had an eventful night,” Aaron muttered the second I stepped into the base, his smirk already pissing me off.The base wasn’t a polished office, it was a fucking den carved in the heart of a warehouse. I had built it piece by piece after I clocked sixteen, when I was still just a stubborn kid trying to spit in my father’s face. It started with small deals, a few dumbass kids running deliveries, until it became what it is now—my own chain. Guns, pills, coke, you name it. I ran it with my fists, my rage, and my refusal to crawl back to my father like some obedient son.But the truth? I had been naïve. Too fucking naïve.I thought I’d rise, crown myself the king of this city, and take Federico’s empire for myself. I wanted his business, his influence, his respect—or better, his fear. But every step I made, he was always there, two steps ahead, tightening the noose. He was a legal genius, cunning, patient, the type of man who’d gut you slowly while smili
Melanie The world had faded, as Dante’s words replayed over and over again in my head. It felt like I was dreaming or at-least lost in it; I couldn’t move, couldn’t speak but that all changed when I felt something on my head. Reality came faster than I expected and I was back to staring at Dante and his flaming gaze. His hand which was now on my head, moved it forward. “Open your mouth, Guai,” he ordered. “And suck me,” This was crazy, even for Dante. He didn’t expect me to do this and even if he did. I couldn’t and I wouldn’t. “Guai,” I could hear the impatience in his voice, and just when I was about to refuse and get back on my feet. His hand moved from my head, to my mouth. He pooped it open with force, driving his cock far beyond my lips. I nearly choked, as he kept on moving inside me, giving me no chance to catch a breath. His hand left my mouth going to the top of my head. Then he guided himself deep inside me, violating my throat. I couldn’t protest, I couldn’t move
MelanieLeonardo, who I hoped would be my ticket to gaining answers about Dante and Juan’s relationship, wasn't home when I got back. Neither was my mother. Aria said she’d gone out with Federico, which didn’t surprise me. Those two were practically glued together.I decided to head to my room, glad that at least Aria didn’t follow me inside. She trailed after me down the hallway, chirping about something I wasn’t listening to, but the moment I closed my door, she decided to engage in a conversation with Stephen.I was proud of her, she was taking a bold step to actually speak to him and not keep staring at him like he was an object behind a glass door. Silence wrapped around me like a fragile shield as I stepped into the room. Dante had continued ignoring me after we got to the house and I was glad. I had a good feeling he wouldn’t be bothering me anymore today.I went straight to the shower, hoping to relax and breathe. But just as the steam began to soothe me, a heavy banging so
MelanieI stared at Juan waiting for his reply and he offered me a wide grin closing the distance between us. “I came to take you on a celebratory brunch,”“And what are we celebrating exactly?” I asked with an arched brow.“You survived an assassin,” he added, like that explained everything.I gave him a look. “It wasn’t an assassin. It was Dante’s crazy girlfriend. She tried to kill me.”“Welcome to Città dei re.”I laughed, but it came out shaky, like a bad cover-up for the fact my chest still felt weak from everything that had happened.“And how exactly did you find me here?” I asked.“I came by the house earlier,” he said like it was the most normal answer in the world. “Federico mentioned you went to check out the art school. There’s only one good one in the city. I figured it had to be this one.”I smiled and instantly it faded when I saw Stephen approaching. My stomach tightened. Great. My bodyguard probably thinks Juan is a threat little does he know that the real threat wa
DanteI promised myself I’d stick to Melanie like a shadow, keep my eyes on her every damn second, but that promise went to hell the moment Aaron called. One word from him and I knew this wasn’t the kind of situation you ignore. I needed to handle it. Now.I pulled out my keys, and stormed out of the building, every step a reminder that I was leaving her unguarded. The thought burned, but I shoved it down. I had bigger things to deal with it. I will handle Melanie later.I slammed the car door close, engine roaring beneath me, as I twisted the keys. My ever chaotic thoughts which kept me company as I drove silenced, as the tires of my car rolled into the parking lot of the base. When I stepped into my office, the stench of cigars greeted me before my eyes fell on who it belonged to. Alio was sitting in my chair like he owned the fucking place.His dark hair was slicked back, and he offered me that same cold stare I remembered from years ago.Alio was my grandfather’s illegiti
