All Chapters of Dangerous Love: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

I checked my phone for the hundredth time tonight, desperately hoping and wishing he’d make it before dinner got cold.Yet, nothing popped up, no notifications from him. At the very least, I deserved a short text if he wasn’t going to make it, rather than keeping us all waiting.My reflection stared back at me. I was already crying off my makeup for the evening. The only thing I could do was hide in my bathroom, away from my family."Hey, Alli, we should eat already," Willy said after knocking on the door for the fifth time.It was already past 8 p.m., and still no news from Clyde. The feeling of his disappointment was heart-wrenching.Finally, I unlocked the door with shaky hands. Will sprinted in that second, his eyes full of worry."Will..." My voice broke into pieces as I sobbed. He pulled me into his arms, comforting my tired ass."Hush now, it's alright."My sobs grew louder as I poured my heart out in his arms."He promised me… then why?" I cried, my voice cracking. My eyes wer

Anxious was more than what I felt as we arrived at the hotel, my mind in a frenzy over her reaction after a whole week of being away.My injuries needed time to heal; otherwise, with Allison being the stubborn ass she was, it would be hard to table the lies I had in store for her.The entire time Diego did the texting with her, I wasn’t sure what to say, especially after my father’s stunt. I read the messages over and over, the pain laced in her words showed just how much my disappearance had hurt her.Today, after the doctor confirmed me fit, I headed straight to the hotel where she worked, the place where the heavens blessed me with her.“We arrived over ten minutes ago, boss.”The tall building in front confirmed Diego’s words. I had never felt so nervous in ages. This little blonde innocence brought out a part of me I thought was dead.My heart accelerated as we stepped into the building, Diego following closely behind me as we proceeded. Ignoring the remarks of those who knew m

Allison’s POVThe memories of last night came flooding back as I awoke to the birds chirping and the sun’s rays piercing through the parted curtains.His sudden appearance at the hotel was something I never expected, yet what startled me most was how he stood up for me in front of everyone. I'm certain Allison is the latest gossip at work.The look on Zach’s face was one I would never forget in a hurry. No words could describe the fear in his eyes as Clyde had him cornered.With everything going on in my world lately, I had barely given work any attention. Yesterday, after completing half my shift, I took a breather by the stairs, my mind constantly drifting to the man I’d fallen in love with. I wondered where he was or if he had abandoned me. It had been more than a week already.Zach appeared out of nowhere, his voice high as he yelled at me. Without giving me room to explain, he yanked me up by my elbow, his grip so tight it might leave a mark. Then, just as violently, he pushed me

Allison’s POV "Willy! You're here!" I jolt into his arms. "How come nobody mentioned your presence?" "I told them not to. Might as well surprise you." "You are so silly." I turn to face the reason for my smiles. He stands beside the wall, staring right back at me. "Thank you," I mutter, and he only nods before leaving with Shawn. Clyde is indeed a man of surprises. Gathering my most important friends for a much-needed trip like this warms my heart. Willy was also invited to the party, and I'm sure we'd have lots of fun. Despite learning the truth of Clyde's past and how cruel his father had treated him, perhaps bringing us here is a risk—but I sure as hell trust that man. And I'm trusting him with my family. For the rest of the afternoon, Clyde is nowhere to be seen—probably working with Shawn. I miss him already. For dinner, the housekeepers decide to organize a steak roast party by the shore of the beach. The girls join in making preparations for dinner,

Allison's POVFrom the crown of my head to the tips of my feet, I screamed luxury. For a minute, I could barely recognize my reflection in the full-length mirror."Do you like it?" Alice spoke.She was the person assigned by Clyde to get me ready for tonight's party. My hair and makeup were done perfectly to complement the expensive dress I wore."Alice, this is magic."Tears almost pooled in my eyes—I looked extremely beautiful tonight."I'm certain the boss's attention will be on you all night."We giggled together at her words, unaware of his presence.As our eyes met, for a second, we were lost—or he was lost. His dark eyes swept all over my body. As he walked closer, I noticed he was also dressed in a black tux, his hair styled perfectly to fit his handsome face."You are so beautiful, baby.""Thank you. Your money made me look this way."He only chuckled before grabbing my waist. The scent of his cologne mingled in the air, intoxicating me."I'm grateful to have you spend it.""
