All Chapters of Surrender To Me: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

DANTESilva did not come to the meeting. The old man invited me to his offices and had me waiting, first in his lobby, then in a giant empty boardroom. His people kept coming to me with excuses, all of which had me that much on edge. Something was off and even Pedro wasn’t taking my calls. If the bugs were a sign, him skipping the meeting was a giant red flag. It’s as if he was keeping me away from the hotel room and when that clicked, I headed straight to there.Our arrival is timely. Just as the elevator doors open, in we see two men with guns in both hands crushing down the door. There’s no time to think. I withdraw my gun and shoot straight ahead and so does Rob, who guns down one man as we reach them and I the other one. It takes just two bullets for them to fall, but I make sure they’re dead by putting a couple more bullets into each of their backs.The suite is filled with broken glass pillow feathers and blood. Rob rushes to Colin and I immediately search for Corina. I don’t w

CORINAComing back to work whilst still not being allowed to leave said workplace building, still qualifies as being held under hostage. But I’ll be lying if I say I didn’t prefer getting out of that apartment and separating myself from Dante and his penchant for attracting bullets. It’s been a few days since Rio and the image of those men coming at me with guns blazing is still burned in my memory. And to think work might be the one thing that might help me forget.But Dante saying I can work again is a mystery. Is it some sort of trap? Test me to see how I will react? Whatever his motives are, I decided a while ago not to parse them and just go with the flow. Even as I stand next to him now as the elevator descends to the casino floors; I wonder what gears are turning in that hard head of his. The more I wonder, the more distracted I get. Everything about him is distracting. His height, his scent, his —“What is it?” he asks as he remains looking straight ahead.“Nothing.” I feel ca

DANTE I spent most of the morning thinking about her. She has a powerful grip on my mind. I barely listened during the meeting I had with Sal. My gaze was on her the entire time. There’s something about the way she whipped her hair out of her face as she spoke to her friend. Her good friend if Sal was a reliable source. According to him, he was sure Jesse wasn’t part of the theft and that Corina had acted alone, but I don’t know. There was something in the way they spoke to each other; not like two friends who hadn’t seen each other in days, but more of two people in on a secret. I couldn’t tell what they were talking about and I wish I could. That compulsivity to know what’s on her conniving mind, what she’s thinking, is what made me call her up for lunch. The simple black dress looked scandalous on her more than any other woman who's ever worn it. The moment she walked in, I wanted to rip it off her, throw her on this table and have her for lunch instead. That’s when I realized t

When I go back to the living room, made up and dressed up, Dante is there waiting. He looks freshly showered and is now wearing chinos and a light sweater that shows a hint of his muscles. We’ve just had sex and I already want him again. He looks up from his phone and… Is that a double take? Can’t be. Whatever it was, it disappears in seconds and his face goes back to the usual cool sardonic mask.“Do I look okay?” I chose a black, backless cocktail dress with a slit on the side. “I don’t know what kind of party it is.”“It’ll do.” He turns and marches towards the exit. I have to walk-run in order to catch up and I do so only when we reach the lobby. Rob is already there waiting and so is another guy. New guy? Rob gives me a small smile. New guy leers automatically giving me the creeps. I miss Colin already.“When will Colin be back?” I ask Dante as we enter the elevator.“You care too much about that man.”“Why shouldn’t I? He saved my life.”“I thought I did that.”“He almost died.”

CORINAI don’t know what I did wrong or right. Or whether it was right or wrong. Whatever I did, it made Dante push me away. I didn’t catch on at first. The morning after the party; I was happy to enter a kitchen occupied only by Rob and Vera and Rob, telling me that Dante had already gone to work. At least I didn’t have to endure his presence, I thought. For the next three days, I was even happier. I came into the kitchen the same way. I only started to wonder if he was avoiding me when he barely acknowledged me at work as he passed me by. He didn’t even spare me a glance, which I thought was unusual. That’s when the doubts crept in. He finally spoke to me after five days of silence and it was only to tell me he was going out of the country for a business meeting and that I was not supposed to go anywhere without Rob and Bruno. Which wouldn’t be so bad if it was only Rob, but Bruno was a pain in the ass altogether. He hated having to be my bodyguard, and even though he never said it;
