Isla~

"I love you too, Isla."

I couldn't believe the audacity of this man.

At a time like this?

I looked up to see that stupid grin on his face as he looked at me like he already knew my response.

I narrowed my eyes at him, covering the now treated wound with a band-aid before standing back up to my full height.

"There." I muttered.

"All done."

I turned around to head back in and discard my ruined dress, take a bath to freshen up and not smell like blood.

But Dante held me back, his hand gripping my wrist tightly and stopping me from moving.

I frowned at him.

Then he slowly stood up, his eyes burning into mine with so much intensity now, as he towered over me.

I swallowed, fighting my instincts to back away from him.

"I love you." He said again, this time with a more serious, passionate tone in his voice.

My heart, I could practically hear it beating in my ears. My skin burnt under the intensity of his gaze.

He meant what he said. He wasn't kidding.

Or ...was he?

I forcefully pried h

  • What The Don Wants   My shield

    A/N : okay I'll admit it. I almost forgot about Fernando's death. Gosh!]Dante~"Murderers!" That word hung like a death sentence in the air.I knew that voice all too well. I recognized it even before my eyes found her.Sharp, brown eyes like Fernando's, brown hair and a fierceness that was in contrast to Fernando's gentle nature.Hailey. Fernando's daughter.Of course I should have anticipated meeting her at her own father's funeral.And needless to say, she had it out for me already."Dante Moretti, you bastard!" She hissed, making her way to me through the crowd.Her eyes were red and puffy, a sign she had been crying a lot.And there was that guilt again. That shame that I've taught my heart not to feel since a long time ago.It all came rushing to me now."You have some guts showing up here with your...whore." Hailey continued with her verbal assault, glancing briefly at Isla by my side.I felt my chest tighten at her last word, my jaw clenching in anger."Watch it, Hailey!" I

  • What The Don Wants   Death and shadows

    Isla~The rain tapped steadily against the car window, weaving long, sad lines through the glass as it blurred the world outside into a grey watercolor painting. A crowd had already gathered ahead, shadows dressed in black, umbrellas like wilted petals above their bowed heads. Some held onto each other for support, others stood stiffly, alone in their grief. All of them faced forward, toward the coffin that sat beneath a black canopy like it had been waiting.I rested my head lightly against the window, watching. Just watching.The weather couldn't have been more fitting.Death had a way of draining color out of everything. The sky was dull, the trees looked like they were mourning too, and even the grass, soaked and trampled under heavy shoes, had lost its usual luster.Beside me, Dante hadn't said a word since we pulled into the cemetery lot.He just sat there; still, staring ahead, jaw clenched, eyes stormy. Dressed in a crisp black suit with a black tie and white shirt, he looke

  • What The Don Wants   Second chance

    Dante~"You what?!" I hissed, slamming my palm flat on the table as I surged to my feet.The sharp crack echoed in the hollow room, silencing even the distant hum of the underground generators.But Vargo? He didn’t move. Didn’t flinch. He just sat there like a damn statue—stone-faced, cold, unfazed.He had always been the calm one. The rational one. But right now, that calm felt like mockery."Quit being dramatic," Vargo said flatly, like he hadn’t just set fire to a goddamn oil field with those words.My fists clenched, my body taut with rage."You think this is the time for your snarky remarks?" I barked."You’re fucking Katya—a bodyguard under my employ—and you have the audacity to be so chill about it?"I could feel the heat crawling up the back of my neck, pulsing in my temples."How dare you?!"The chair scraped loudly across the floor as Vargo finally rose to his feet.And for the first time in years, I saw him snap."I love her, Dante!" he shouted, his voice raw, cracking thro

  • What The Don Wants   Ghost

    Dante~Tension, anger and the need for payback.The scent of blood still lingered in my memory from that night.The night I realized a new enemy.Ghost.Not even the thick smoke of cigars or the sharp tang of whiskey could mask the tension in the air. The underground war room buzzed with low murmurs and shifting weight, men on edge; waiting. The only light in the room came from the single dim chandelier that hung above the round table like a noose.This was one way we mourn our fallen.My men sat in silence, vargo to my left. Miguel across from me. The rest, a blend of old loyalists and newer blood kept their heads low, but their eyes flicked toward me, waiting for a signal.A word of command.I leaned back in my chair, knuckles clenched tight on the carved lion heads of the armrests."Casualties?" I asked, my voice low but commanding.Miguel cleared his throat, his face grim. "Two, Boss."Two.I felt the rage coil tight in my chest like a viper. I didn't scream. I didn't slam the ta

  • What The Don Wants   Act

    Sorry guys, I just struggle so much with titles for my chapters 🤧Isla~The soft chirping of birds filtered through the open window, pulling me from the depths of my sleep. My eyes fluttered open, the early sunlight slipping past the curtains to warm the sheets wrapped around my bare body. I stretched lazily, letting out a long yawn, only to wince slightly at the familiar soreness between my thighs.Oh and the funny taste in my mouth.Last night's "activities" had clearly taken their toll.I groaned and sank deeper into the pillows, fully intending to drift back to sleep until a low, familiar chuckle pierced through the haze of my thoughts.My brows knit together as I blinked my eyes open again.Dante.He stood by the full-length mirror across the room, fully dressed in a dark suit, fumbling with his tie like it was the most complicated weapon he'd ever handled. His hair was still slightly damp, slicked back in that effortlessly sexy way that made him look like some big shot model.
