Dante frowned. Why was she bringing this up now?Daphnée scoffed, “Don’t act stupid. I know you had sex with her. There is no way you would have kept your hands to yourself for two weeks.”Dante’s frown deepened, “Even if I did, what does that have to do with you? Strip out of your damn clothes and come here.”“You don’t have any shame, do you? I am carrying your child, and it’s like you don’t even care. You didn’t ask me how she is? How I am? Have I been getting enough sleep? Is there anything you can do? All you give a damn is about yourself! Why the fuck would I sleep with you, knowing very well that you were inside someone else? I’m not trying to get an infection, nor do I want my child suffering,” she said as she wiped her tears away.Dante slowly moved to the edge of the bed and sat up, staring at her. When she was done speaking, he asked, “How are you doing, Daphnée?”She was confused. Calming down, she said, “I’m fine.”“Are you sure? Because to me, it seems like you have a lo

Daphnée stared at Dante with a heated gaze and asked, “What the fuck do you me, I have to stay here?”Dante involuntarily shuddered inwardly as he stared into her gaze that was almost as if he were staring at his late father.Rubbing the chill away against his neck, he turned his back to her and said, “There are servants at every corner. Dr Marino is putting you on bed rest FAR away from the family and any activities that might cause you and our daughter harm.”Daphnée clutched her phone, then threw it at the back of his head, so hard that the screen broke.Dante turned around as he rubbed his aching head and looked at her confused, “What was that for?”“What makes you think you can tell me what to do or where to stay? I’m not your fucking prisoner!” She said.Dante stepped forward, stopping right in front of her with his chest and said, “I don’t think you remember the position you are in. Just because you have my name and bear my child doesn’t excuse the fact of why you are here toda

Raffael knocked on Alessandro’s door.“Come in,” Alessandro answered as he rubbed his chest with a towel.Closing the door behind him, Raffael looked at him with a raised brow and asked, “You’ve been home for two hours. Why haven’t you reported to Dante?”Sitting down on the bed, he looked at his friend and didn’t know how to answer him, really. Taking a deep breath, he said, “I’ve had a long two days. I’ll report to him once I rest.”“Cut the bullshit. You’ve had a long two days? We thought you went missing. There was no communication from you and Donna arrived home before you did. What happened?” Raffael asked, annoyed.Looking at him, he shook his head. “She knew I was following her and had me jumped. I don’t even know who those men were, but she is definitely up to something. I was dumped on the side of the road and had to find my way back to my car. So excuse me, it’s hard being betrayed by the same person twice.”Raffael frowned. Pacing around the room, he couldn’t fathom what w

Gabriele walked into the dining room and stopped in his steps as he looked at Daphnée, who was eating away. He counted five bowls on the table and said, “Should you be eating so much? The weight will stick with you when the baby is out?”Daphnée grabbed an empty bowl and threw it at him. Glaring, she said, “I’ll fucking eat whatever I want and besides, the Italian food is so good this side, better if I might say.”He shrugged and sat down by her side, making Alessandro and Raffael frown who were watching her. Ignoring them, he stared at her, making her frown. “What is it?” She asked.He grabbed the plate she was eating from and immediately, Daphnée stood up, trying to grab it back from her and when she reached over to his side, she felt him punch her stomach.She gasped and looked at him, confused, but he quickly stood up, catching her as he asked, “Are you okay?”She shook her head, unable to speak, and looked at Raffael and Alessandro, who were still stationed in place. They only r

Madam Bardi stepped up to the door, and before she could knock, she heard humming. Smirking as she listened to the tune, she thought, ‘Not bad, little girl, but I wonder how long you can keep this up.’She knocked on the door and opened it. Looking ahead, she locked eyes with Daphnee.Daphne’s eyes widened in surprise, then confusion. “Can I help you with something?”Madam Bardi walked in and closed the door behind her. She smiled at Daphnee, saying, “Oh child, don’t be so on guard. I’m just here to visit my granddaughter and her mother.”Daphnee was holding her daughter, and she almost slipped out of her arms. She didn’t expect to see her mother-in-law this time of the night. She placed her daughter down between her legs and sat up. “Madam Bardi? I thought you weren’t coming?”Madam Bardi was beautiful with her long salt and pepper hair, more salt than pepper. The smile on her face was mysterious and cunning and her eyes told no lies, she knew too much for any human. She wore a long
