What The Don Wants Charity
Isla~"Are you sure about this?" Katya asked, her voice a little panicked.I smiled, looking around the beautifully decorated hall and the guests who were slowly trooping in.The usual gloomy atmosphere of the Moretti mansion was now brightened up with the sound of light-hearted laughter and music.I had never been more sure of anything."Mr and Mrs Sanders!" I greeted the elderly couple with a big smile and their faces lit up instantly."A beautiful event you have going on here, honey." Mrs Sanders remarked, reaching out to hold my hands.I felt my heart warm at her compliments, knowing I put a lot into this occasion.Dante was going to be away for a while and even if he was around, he'd probably still be busy ignoring me. So I had to get busy myself too.I sent invites to all the wealthiest, most influential people in the city. I wanted to bring them all together for the official opening of my charity foundation.A foundation to build back everything my father destroyed, give back e

Isla~ Tonight, I was getting engaged to my father's sworn enemy, a man with a vendetta against our family. I stared blankly at my reflection in the mirror, as I was being dolled up in preparation for his arrival. My supposed husband-to-be would be here anytime from now, and I had to look perfect for him. I took a look at the black, evening dress that ran all the way down to my feet. It clung to me like a second skin, it's expensive noose tightening around my body. The dress was stunning, to say the least but it might as well be a funeral attire. A part of me was about to die tonight. It was a gift from HIM, I was told. A sigh left my lips as my mind suddenly drifted off to Jake, my boyfriend. Just a few days ago, he had called to inform me that he would be coming back to Vegas, to me. He had been away for years and we excitedly made plans on all the things we would do, places we would visit together. I guess none of those would be happening now. By the time he gets back, I

Isla~ Terror. That was all I felt as he grabbed hold of my wrist, pulling me back into the house. "Let go of me, you monster!" I screeched. "Go ahead, little princess. Scream all you want!" Dante mocked, his eyes reflecting something sinister. With every attempt I made to free myself, his grip only seemed to get tighter. I was absolutely no match for his raw strength. "Nobody's coming to save you." I panicked even more as he dragged me up the flight of stairs. I was only beginning to notice that he didn't come alone. He was accompanied by an entourage of masked men in black coats, all armed to the teeth. It made me realize that he was even more dangerous, more powerful than I've been made to believe. I'd rather die than be his bride. We soon arrived at my family's living room and he forcefully shoved me onto a nearby sofa. Where the hell was everybody? Weren't they hearing my screams? Dante plopped himself down on a sofa just across from me. Even sitting, he still

Isla~This was it. This was the moment my entire life would come crashing down. Today, I would officially be wedded to Dante Moretti. I would be wedded to a man who had no problem with wiping out my entire family. The sound of the wedding bells sent jolts through my body, making me feel more like a prisoner, who was about to be executed on a death row. With every step I took towards the altar, I felt suffocated by the wedding dress and veil over my face. The bouquet of flowers felt like thorns in my hands and the scent made me sick to my stomach. A small crowd of people were already gathered, which included my parents and household staff. I couldn't see Matteo anywhere, which was quite understandable. I didn't want to be here too. I was walking down the aisle by myself, as my father was now confined to a wheelchair. He still had bullet wounds in his thighs and I remember my mother's words to me on his account. "This is all your fault!" She had yelled angrily at me. "

Dante~ Isla hadn’t said a word since we left the church, which was expected. I did kill her brother. She sat stiffly in the backseat, her wedding dress stained with blood that wasn't hers. Her hands trembled in between her laps, but she didn’t wipe away the tears streaming down her face. She didn’t look at me, didn’t acknowledge me. That was fine. She would still have to face me sooner or later. The car ride was silent, the tension thick enough to choke on. My men were in the front, driving us back to my estate, while I sat beside her, watching with keen interest. I had never been with a redhead before and a part of me was curious to know how she would taste. I knew however, that there was absolutely no need to rush. She now belonged to me. Those lush lips of hers would certainly be put to good use, and those eyes! She definitely had her father's eyes. The hatred burning in them wasn’t new. I had seen it in countless people before her. It only made me more obsessed with brea

Isla~It's been two days. Two days since I've been locked up in this room. All I did was cry myself to sleep and thrash various objects in the room.It was all my fault. My brother was dead because of me.Maybe if I wasn't trying to run from my fate or fight it, I wouldn't be in this mess right now. I had lost both my brother and my freedom.A series of knock suddenly came from the door and I already knew who they were. Apparently, Dante had hired an entire posse of personal attendants to look after me. I was however unmoved by this gesture."Mrs Moretti?" A voice called out from outside and I frowned.That name. I was now bearing the surname of my brother's killer. It made me feel like every bit of a murderer as Dante is, and I hated that feeling.I tightened my grip on the bedsheet as they continued to knock and call for me."Mrs Moretti, please let us in." "Go away!" I screamed at them, sinking further into the king-sized bed. I didn't want to be around anyone right now. Why can'
Last Updated : 2025-03-20What The Don Wants Don't need saving
Isla~I let out a shaky breath as I paced back and forth on the balcony.He was here.Jake was finally here after all these years, but he was no longer the man I once loved.He was now dining with the same man who murdered my brother, destroyed my family. Maybe I could equally regard him an enemy?I thought back to the day he left the City, how I begged for him to at least take me along, to never leave me here. My pleas all fell on deaf ears and so did my demand for the truth about what he was really traveling for."It's just business," he had told me.I was left in the dark. I had always been in the dark about everything.I suddenly tensed up, startled by heavy, approaching footsteps.Turns out the "dinner" wasn't just any regular dinner. Both Dante and Jake have been involved in very shady businesses for years. That was the real reason Jake left me in the first place; to work with criminals and murderers.Tonight, they were signing some kind of "deal" and I took advantage of Dante

Isla~After leaving Jake at the balcony, I didn't have the heart to go back to whatever dinner party Dante was hosting.I couldn't sit at the table with those men, smiling and pretending to enjoy their company.I decided to head back to my room, where I planned to lock myself up until my absence would be noticed and I'd probably be dragged out again.Now alone in my room, I saw no need to fight back the tears that had been threatening to fall from my eyes. Grabbing a nearby pillow, I buried my face in there and let out a series of screams. This was my life now. Pushing people I love and care about away, just to keep them safe.Jake Pennington.How he got involved with someone like Dante was still beyond me. What could he possibly want that Dante had? And why did it have to be Dante?My father?What did he really do to make Dante so obsessed with ruining our lives.There were so many questions and I had no answers. I was slowly developing a headache from too much thinking....So I d

What The Don Wants Morning after
[Just a little reminder that although Kayla is referred to as 'young', she's not exactly underage. she is 19, which still makes her the youngest of all the characters in this book, hence Isla's protective nature.]Isla~The fresh scent of flowers and dew, coupled with the continuous chirping of morning birds made my eyelids flutter open.I was immediately greeted the rays of sun filtering through the windows and illuminating the whole room. A small groan left my lips as I shot up from the bed, finding Dante's side empty.Of course I wouldn't expect him to be here to kiss me good morning now, right? I was way smarter than that.I lazily rolled out of bed to walk to the bathroom and that was when I realized.I was naked.Fully naked.Memories of what happened last night began rushing into my head like it had all been a dream. I felt my face slowly heating up as the realization set in. The things I let him do to me, the way he touched me.I could still feel how sore I was, despite th
What The Don Wants War
Dante~She was asleep.Barely.I could tell by the way her body trembled slightly, her breathing shallow, like she didn't trust herself to relax...even in my bed.Our bed.Her back was turned to me, the sheets pulled up to her shoulder. Hiding herself. Probably trying to piece together what had just happened.But I wasn't confused.No. I was clear.Crystal fucking clear.She was mine.No matter how many times she ran, no matter who she ran to, I would always bring her back.Because Isla wasn’t just some bargaining chip. She wasn’t just a wife I married for revenge or leverage.At least, not anymore.She was a fucking addiction.And it pissed me off as much as it excited me.I never imagined that ravaging her would feel that good.My jaw clenched as I sat up, dragging a hand through my hair. Every muscle in my body ached from the way I took her. Hard, unrelenting, punishing. She didn’t fight me. Not once.But that didn't mean she wanted it.She said she'd do anything.I gave her a choi
What The Don Wants Anything
Isla~"Please...please, stop!" I screamed, my throat raw, the words barely cutting through the chaos around me.Jake's blood was everywhere. On the pavement. On their knuckles. On his clothes. He groaned and writhed under the brutal force of Dante's men, who continuously pummelled him for trying to help us escape their Boss.They dragged Kayla away from me, her terrified eyes locked on mine as she struggled against their grip. Still silent. Still voiceless. But her scream was in her eyes.And mine were wet with tears."Dante, please!" I cried out again, stumbling toward him, falling to my knees when I couldn't keep up with the weight in my chest. "I'll do anything! Just stop them!"He didn’t flinch.His black eyes stayed on Jake’s broken form, hands buried in his pockets as if this was all beneath him. As if it didn't matter.But it did.To me.I crawled forward, grabbing the hem of his coat, desperate now."Please, I'm begging you! Don't kill him!""I'll do anything you ask of me, I
What The Don Wants Running
Isla~Today marked the end of the three days ultimatum given to me by Dante.And I was long ready.I knew what it meant for Dante to get rid of things he deemed a problem, and I didn't stick around to let him do it.While he was out last night, I took Kayla with me, grabbing a few of our stuff and driving into the night in one of Dante's Ferrari.Kayla seemed a little startled by our sudden movement but remained quiet as always.Together, we booked a suite at the far side of the city. We would complete our journey the following day, far away from Dante and his hatred.I didn't mind leaving everything behind for Kayla.She was my responsibility now.Afterall, it was my father who did this to her. He sold her into this life of mystery.Another one of his sins I had to pay for.I would never be able to live with myself if Dante had her sent away."We'll be safe here for the night." I said to her as her eyes wandered around our suite.I could feel her discomfort and unease, but she still
What The Don Wants Broken things
Dante~The study still reeked of scotch.The silence that followed Isla's exit lingered like smoke, curling through the corners of the room, suffocating. I stood there, staring at the glass in my hand, watching the liquid swirl slowly before I tossed it back without a second thought.It burned less than it should have. Probably because I've had way too much of it.I leaned forward, bracing myself on the edge of the desk as the weight of our argument replayed in my head. Her words echoed louder now, stripped of the fire we both threw at each other."If she goes, then I'm going with her."I clenched my jaw.Damn her.Damn that stubborn fire in her eyes. The one that always makes her stand her ground, even when she is afraid. Even when she should be running in the opposite direction.She wasn't just defending that girl. She was defying me.And yet…A part of me knew I'd been too harsh. The words had come out sharper than I intended. The pain still clawed at me from the inside, a constant
What The Don Wants Three days
Isla~Dante had stayed back in Los Angeles for whatever reason.Although I suspected it had something to do with grieving his late sister. He had clearly ordered that we head back to Vegas and avoid waiting for him.I took in a deep breath to calm my racing heart, before opening the door to his study. Apparently, that's where he had been since he came back.And he sent for me.The smell of strong liquor greeted me almost immediately and I had the urge to scrunch up my nose.Dante had his back to me but I could still see how heavy the grief rested on his shoulders. His hair was a disheveled mess as he had undoubtedly ran his fingers through it over and over again.His posture was hunched over as he looked out of his window at the scenery down below.I took a step forward, instinctively trying to be as quiet as I could be. It felt like a bad idea to startle him in this state.He however seemed to be aware of my presence already.He, however, seemed to be aware of my presence already.
What The Don Wants Vulnerable
Isla~"You know..." Katya suddenly said, breaking the long silence."That's was really brave."I raised my eyebrow, unsure if this was a compliment or one of her usual taunting remarks."Standing up to your parents like that, it takes a different kind of strength."A smile gradually made its way to my face on hearing the sincerity in her voice. "Take it from me. One daddy's girl to another." She winked, earning an eyeroll from me."I'm not a daddy's girl" I muttered and in truth, I wasn't. I never got the chance to be one.Katya leaned close to whisper into my ear."Aye! Not anymore, little bird.""Ugh! Stop it already with that name." I groaned, shoving her playfully.Soon enough, we were pulling up into the driveway at the mansion.I quickly got out of the car, eager to go in and get rid of the dress I had on.However, I was greeted by a commotion almost immediately.Kayla.The housemaids were gathered outside her door and from the look of things, they were determined to force he
What The Don Wants Funerals
Isla~I stepped out of the vehicle, dressed in all black and instantly attracting attention from onlookers.Today was Matteo's funeral and I came back from Los Angeles just in time for it. I wasn't surprised by the number of people in attendance as Matteo had always been known and regarded the heir of the entire DeLuca's fortune.Father had introduced him to a number of his business partners in hopes that my elder brother would take over from him someday."Sure you want to do this." Katya murmured from behind me, eyeing the seemingly hostile crowd around me.I recognized most of them to be members of our extended family and even old friends. However they all looked at me now like I was some enemy, some traitor."I have to do this." I said, determination coursing through me.My father's lies and secrets got my brother killed and it was time I stood up to him. It was time I let him know that I will no longer be a subject to his manipulations.Katya looked me right in my eyes, nodding i
