All Chapters of The Heiress’ Revenge : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

A R I A N A I forced myself to pull away from Dante’s warm, safe chest, wiping away my tears with the back of my hand, trying to smile even though my heart was screaming and hurting. I didn’t expect to see Dante at the foyer, i thought to lock up myself in the room and wrap my head around what had happened and what more is about to come. “I am sorry,” I whispered, my voice still shaky. “I am just… overwhelmed that’s all.” I looked up at him, hoping my eyes did not show the lie in my heart, hoping he wouldn’t hint it. “I want to give us a chance,” I said, the words feeling heavy and wrong on my tongue. “I really do, and I am sorry for running off like that, I just went out to get some air to think and wrap my head around everything but I am ready now I am ready to try” I say biting my lower lip as I gulped a lump hating myself for lying. Dante looked down at me his dark eyes searching my face, he lifted his hand and gently cupped my cheek, his thumb brushed away a tear that I m

A R I A N A I stirred as my eyes split open, the space next to me in the bed was empty causing me to open my eyes fully my eyes falling on a small note on Dante's pillow. I picked it up his handwriting was neat and strong. "I had to leave early for a meeting I am sorry I could not wake you, I will see you at the office today. Do not be late. -D" I read the note two times. He was expecting me to report to work today. At his company and as his new Head of Financial Strategy we’ll that’s if I pass the interview. A part of me felt a little happy he believed in me, he thought I was smart enough for the job. But a bigger part of me felt sick with guilt. I was going to use this job to betray him and it made me feel, I mean I was going to dig through his private papers and somehow find a a way to ruin him which I one it’s going to me so hard but I had to find a way. I sat up in bed, holding the note my stomach felt tight. I had to do this, for Asher I repeated it in my head like

A R I A N AI walked back to my office, my mind still spinning from the tingling a from Dante’s kiss my hand still felt warm where he had held it so tightly.I sat down at my desk and tried to focus on the papers but it was hard my thoughts were everywhere.Then, my office door opened without a knock.I looked up, expecting maybe Dante’s secretary or another employee.But it was not.It was Angelo.My heart jumped into my throat. What was he doing here? How did he get into the building?He walked into my office and closed the door behind him he leaned against it, looking at me with a mean smile.“Hello, Ariana,” he said. “Or should I call you Mrs. Russo?”I stood up from my chair, my hands shaking. “What are you doing here, Angelo? You need to leave… now.”He ignored me. He walked slowly toward my desk he looked around my big, fancy office.“Look at you,” he said, his voice full of mockery. “In your big office playing house with my uncle. Do you really think you belong here?”I fel

D A N T EI finally closed the last file It was very late and I was tired. Antonio was slumped in the chair across from my desk, looking tired too."It is good I sent Ariana home early," I said, rubbing my eyes. "I did not want to pressure her with too much work on her first day. She looked tired."Antonio nodded. "You did the right thing” I smiled a little."Come on," Antonio said, standing up and stretching. "My driver left for a family emergenc I need you to drop me off."We walked out of the building together the night was quiet I glanced at my wrist watch and it was almost 1AM. We were almost at the car when we heard it.A scream, a woman’s scream it was sharp and full of fear.I stopped walking. The sound felt... familiar It tugged at something in my chest but I was tired too tired to over think it I just wanted to go home back to my wife.Fuck!Ariana’s comfort was one that calms the storm inside of me, her soft body against mine did unimaginable things to me just by th

A R I A N A I stared at myself in the big bathroom mirror my face was pale and my eyes were red from crying, there’s a small cut was on my lip. I looked broken. Dante had brought me home he had not said one word to me in the car he just held my hand so tight it almost hurt. His face was like stone. He led me straight to the bathroom. "Take a shower," he said, his voice flat then he turned and walked out, closing the door behind him. That was it. No comfort. No soft words. Just a cold, hard command. I was scared I knew he was angry but his silence was worse than any yelling. I should have listened to him, if only I had followed the driver back home then the situation wouldn’t have reached as it is. I passed by his office making sure he doesn’t see me, I should have gone to his office and waited for him but I didn’t and I so badly regret it. I got in the shower the hot water stung my skin. I tried to wash away the feeling of those men's hands on me as I brok
