Isla~

I stood frozen in front of the door. The door to Dante's bedroom. Our bedroom.

My fingers hovered just above the knob, trembling as though the metal itself would burn me. I hated this feeling. I hated being afraid and uncertain. And yet, I couldn't deny it; fear was exactly what curled tightly in my chest right now.

Dante was alive.

After a week and two days in the ICU, after flatlining twice, after so much bloodloss and chaos, I had watched him slip away before my eyes. I had screamed until my throat gave out. Cried until my body trembled with exhaustion. Held his hand even after he stopped squeezing back.

But he made it.

He was back, breathing. He was awake. Alive.

He had pulled through for both me and our child. And naturally, I should be as happy as I should be grateful.

But why did walking through this door feel so hard? Why did it feel so heavy in my chest

I closed my eyes. The memory of that night flooded me like a tidal wave.

  • What The Don Wants   Epilogue

    Years later...The buttons on Ethan's tiny shirt were giving her trouble as she tried so hard to fasten them without breaking."Hold still, monkey," Isla muttered, trying not to laugh as her son squirmed playfully beneath her touch.The silver-eyed boy blinked up at her with mischief dancing in his orbs ; those same shade of silver that used to haunt her dreams and now, somehow, warmed her soul. He was practically a replica of Dante. The resemblance was frightening... and beautiful."There." Isla leaned back, satisfied with her handiwork. "Handsome, just like your Dada."Ethan beamed, bouncing slightly in place."Yayyy!"She turned to the wardrobe, pulling it open and rummaging through hangers until she found a soft, grey jacket. "Now all we need is this and you're ready for the..."When she turned around, he was gone.A sigh fell from her lips. "Of course."She stepped out of the room, calling gently, "Ethan!"Her voice echoed softly down the long hallway."Ethan, if you don't wear y

    Isla~The air crackled with tension.Gunfire exploded outside, rattling through the walls like a violent drumbeat. Men shouted over one another, some barking orders, others screaming in agony. Somewhere in the chaos, metal clanged against concrete, followed by a sharp, guttural cry. It was a warzone out there.And yet, I was oddly calm.Jake, however, was the one unraveling.He paced the room like a caged animal, his fists clenching and unclenching at his sides. Beads of sweat glistened on his temple, his jaw twitching every few seconds like he was biting down the urge to scream.I sat where I had been for hours, handcuffed to a cold, metal chair. My wrists still ached, raw from the earlier struggle. But I didn't move, I didn't flinch. Not even when the ground trembled from an explosion outside.Because the longer Jake panicked, the more I knew what was coming.I knew who was coming.Dante.Jake lunged for the walkie-talkie on the table. "Status report!" he barked into it, his voice r

    [A/N: Hello beautiful readers! Just in case you haven't noticed, this book is slowly coming to an end as I have other works to commence. I however would like to use this opportunity to appreciate all my loyal readers, who followed this story from the very beginning till this point. Really, I appreciate y'all. You've made this writing journey a really wonderful one for me.]Isla~The cuffs bit into my wrists again as I shifted in the chair, a defiant glint in my eyes as I stared down the bastard seated across from me.Jake. Smug, composed, legs crossed like this was just a friendly reunion. And behind him, like some deranged scarecrow, stood the woman from earlier; Veronica. Her arms were folded, but her stance screamed readiness. Like if I so much as blinked wrong, she would put a bullet in me.I yanked at the cuffs once more, metal scraping metal. "You're wasting your time." I spat, my voice sharp with loathing. "Dante's not coming. You are delusional if you think he would ever

  • What The Don Wants   Don't come

    Dante~"Where the fuck is she?!" I roared, my voice thundering through the hall and slamming into every gilded wall and marbled surface like a wrecking ball.Chandeliers trembled, glasses tipped over and heads turned."Where is my wife?!"I didn't wait for an answer. I couldn't. My blood was boiling, and my vision had narrowed into a tunnel of blind fury. I shoved the nearest man in a suit, knocking him to the ground like a sack of flour."She went to the funking bathroom twenty minutes ago!" I yelled, grabbing another startled guest by the collar. "Now she's gone! My wife and my child are gone!"Gasps rippled through the room, followed by the shuffling of feet and murmured confusion. Some faces turned away. Others watched with wide, uncertain eyes. No one dared to move closer.No one, except the poor bastard who thought putting a hand on my shoulder might calm me down.Big mistake.I whirled around and cracked my fist against his jaw. He dropped like a stone."Stay the fuck away from
