Dante

Hernandez mansion overlooked the great rivers of the Città del re. I stepped out of my car, watching as the sky turned grey representing the gloomy feeling in my chest.

“Who are you here to see?” The guard, a short red-eyed old man that looked like he hadn't slept in days, questioned me.

“Gabe Hernandez,” I said in a firm tone.

“Does he know that…”

“Open the fucking gate,” my gun was already out my pocket, and I shoved it in the man’s direction.

That was my first mistake. The next was shooting down the three other men he had called using some distress signal.

My mistakes led to larger consequences but I could blink. I was surrounded by more men pointing their guns in my direction. I didn’t come here to start a war. I came for Melanie.

My gaze swept across the men surrounding the gates ready to fire if I moved an arm or even breathed out.

“You were sent to kill the new heir weren’t you,” I shook my head at the words of the man I assumed was in charge.

  • WANTING MY STEP—BROTHER    Chapter 85

    Melanie Everything happened in seconds.I watched my mom drop to the ground—just collapse, like someone had cut the strings holding her up. For a heartbeat, my body froze. My vision blurred and then the screaming started.People scattered. Chairs crashed. Men in black drew their guns, shouting commands I couldn’t make out over the pounding in my ears.“Mom—” I tried to run to her, but Federico reached her first, falling to his knees beside her. He pulled her into his arms, shaking, his voice breaking as he begged her to stay with him.A gunshot cracked through the hall.Then another followed.The air filled with bullets, sharp flashes of light, people diving for cover.Before I could move, Juan rushed toward me. Federico looked up, eyes wild with fear.“Get Melanie and Aria out of here! Now!” he yelled.Everything spun. Juan grabbed me, one arm around Aria too, pulling us both toward the exit as more gunfire exploded behind us. The walls echoed with chaos—men yelling orders, boots p

    Melanie Tears flowed endlessly down Aria’s cheeks, hot and heavy, like her body refused to let go of the pain inside her. Her shoulders shook in small, broken jerks as she buried her face against my chest. I wrapped my arms around her, holding her as tightly as I could, like if I let go for even a second, she might fall apart completely.No words came out of her mouth. And honestly… I knew there were no words that could fix this. Nothing could undo what had already happened.Leonardo was gone.Her brother. Her blood. Her world.And the truth was even more painful than death itself — because deep down, I knew she believed she was the reason for his death .The guilt in her heart was louder than her crying. I have been in her shoes so I could understand exactly how she was feeling. My father wasn’t a great man. He had tried to sell me off and after he died I still felt guilty. I couldn’t shake off the fact that my actions had lead to his death.“I should’ve seen it coming…I shouldn

  • WANTING MY STEP—BROTHER    Chapter 83

    DanteI stood outside the estate walls awaiting Aria’s signal. I couldn’t risk going in, not when there were a multitude of guards ready to attack me due to Federico's orders. My patience began to slip. But entangled in that feeling was fear. I hoped Aria didn’t get caught by Leonardo. The thought of my plans going downhill left a bitter taste in my mouth. The sound of the gate opening caught my attention and I took a step backward. I was almost getting to the bushy path I had taken when I heard the signal—the low crow I told Aria to use when she had managed to distract the guards.The both of us had formulated the plan yesterday over the phone. It was simple just like my other plans but despite the simplicity I was frightened by the outcome. Most plans I made these days didn’t exactly go well. There was always something interfering with it. The last thing I wanted was something else stopping me from saving Melanie, and ripping Leo apart.“Where are the guards?” I asked Aria once

  • WANTING MY STEP—BROTHER    Chapter 82

    Dante “Dante,” Aria called out the minute I pulled down my window. I noticed how puffy her eyes were. Like she had been crying. “What are you doing here?” I asked. But she remained silent. “Aria!” I called out the time and she blinked twice as if regaining herself from a trance. “I’m escaping,”her voice came out shaky like she had gone through hell and back, barely making it out. I opened the passenger’s door and she hopped in immediately. “Escaping?” “I can’t stay in that house. I just can’t Dante . Especially stay with everything that is happening and everything I have seen. Heather’s house feels like a sanctuary, compared to ours. That’s why I’m heading there alone. I just want to be free from all this mess.” “What do you mean by everything you have seen?” Out of all the words she said. Those ones had struck me. She fell quiet again, her eyes darting to the window. “I don’t think this place is safe. “ she said seconds later, pointing to the group of men approaching ou

  • WANTING MY STEP—BROTHER    Chapter 81

    Dante Being held hostage against my will was one thing, being held hostage by a man who had a hand to play in Melanie’s disappearance and chose to keep it hidden was another thing I couldn’t fucking take. Federico had set me up. I growled, ran my hands through my hair as I stared at the empty cages in front of me. Frustration had mixed with my blood flowing down my entire body. I shook the gate furiously trying to tame the feeling in my chest but no matter how much I tried I couldn’t do it . I retreated to the corner of the cage allowing the frustration to eat me up until that was the only emotion I could feel. The sound of footsteps loud and clear had me rushing towards the gates once again. My eyes fell on Leonardo a few seconds later. He had an agitated look on his face and I wondered what lies Federico had fed him with. “I can’t believe you would do this to her again,” he started hands on the cage, as he stared into my eyeballs. “Melanie has been through a lot and y

  • WANTING MY STEP—BROTHER    Chapter 80

    Melanie I have been waiting to hear the sound of gunshots. Or screams but that sound never came. The place where I had been kept hidden got darker as time passed and my only light source had suddenly begun to dim.I wanted to pull my hair off or scream but I reserved my energy for when Leonardo would return so I could kick him in the face.I had planned my escape. It was simple, very simple all I had to do was charge for him then run away. A part of me hoped the plan would turn out as easy as it sounded and another part of me didn’t believe it would. It called my plans stupid, mocked me for thinking that escaping would be that easy.I wasn’t going to let negativity outshine positivity so I ignored that other part of me. I was going to escape. I was going to tell the whole world that Leonardo was a lunatic and get him locked up in the loony bin. Luck was on my side because after that thought had settled in my mind. The door opened and the devil himself appeared.“Your dinner,” Le
