Chapter 121

I look around the room. The other men stand guard, looking like they aren’t listening, nor do they care to. Even though there are other people in the room, it does feel like it’s just me and Saccone. “It still doesn’t explain why you kidnapped me and took me to your hotel. You could have just come over and asked for me.”“And your boyfriend would not have killed me the moment I walked through those doors? Come on.” He leans forward. “Do you know that he was deliberately keeping you away from me?” He takes my silence as acquiescence. “Yes. Unfortunately, he thought he could use you as a bargaining chip. Ransom you. Kill you as a form of revenge. I don’t know what goes on in that insane man’s head. That’s why I had to save you.”“You say this as if I should be happy that you took me away? I would rather be anywhere right now than be here.”“I understand that you’re a little mad.”I don’t know what about that sentence that makes me mad. Maybe it’s the way he says it, or the nonchalance o

Chapter 122

DANTEShe Sleeps like a baby. That must be the drugs working. After we came home, I called a doctor to assess her. She had been drugged; he said. Nothing lethal, but she was going to need to sleep it off. Even though I couldn’t talk to her at the moment, the thought of leaving her alone was anathema. She is back again by my side. There’s no way I’m going to let her go. She had gone through so much and partly it was because of me. Mostly because of me. Would her father have been gung-ho to find her if he didn’t know she was with me? Would he be able to find her?Her eyes flicker open. She looks around and tries to get up, but I gently hold her down. “You don’t need to get up. The doctor said you should rest.”“I’m fine.” Her voice sounds hoarse and sexy. I clamp down on my shameless arousal. I should focus on helping her heal instead of thinking of making love to her. “Do you want to sit?” I ask, already grabbing pillows and putting them behind her back so she can sit comfortably. She

Chapter 123

CORINAI wake up from what feels like a year’s long sleep. Dante’s scent fills my nostrils the minute I open my eyes. I look around for him, but I soon realize I am alone. The blinds are drawn so I can’t tell what time it is. There’s something about waking up in his bed that’s comforting. The familiar surroundings are calming. I could get used to this. Where did that come from? Thoughts like that should be squashed, not entertained. They only lead to trouble. Just because he came for me, rescued me, doesn’t mean his feelings are different now. His soft demeanor from the last time I was awake didn’t count as well. I should banish those images from my mind as well. So what, he was kind? He was probably kind because he felt sorry for me.My stomach grumbles, taking me out of my thoughts. How long was I out? I get out of the bed and almost collapse to the floor. My legs feel weak and my feet feel like walking on tiny needles. I try to walk again, shaking my legs in the process to let the

Chapter 124

DANTEI’m rendered speechless for a moment. All I can do is listen as she recites what feels like a rehearsed speech. “I’m grateful for what you did to save me, but I don’t think you and I should be doing whatever this is that we’re doing. After all, I’m no longer in your debt.”“Debt?” What the fuck is she talking about? If anyone was in her debt, it was me for treating her like shit. I made the twins disappear because I had a speech of my own prepared. After she nearly went out of my life, I realized something I had been refusing to face. I love her. I’ve never loved anyone like this and I want to tell her all of that. To tell her she’s my reason to live and I will do anything to have her stay by my side forever. And the amends, I am willing to atone for all of my past actions, but I can’t say any of that, not when she’s talking about the opposite of what I want to talk to her about.“The money,” she says. Just as I’m about to ask what money I remember the pact I made with her. Some

Chapter 125

CORINADante has been the ultimate gentleman during the trip.And to be fair, throughout the last week. He kept to his promise of winning me over and has so far gone above and beyond. He hasn’t even tried to have sex with me, and I am guessing he’s waiting for me to make the first move in that regard. The only problem is what he’s saying. He’s being nice and chivalrous, yes, but it all seems calculated. I don’t feel emotion coming from him, nor does he even show me that he loves me. For all the time we’ve spent together, he’s never said the all-important words. It is difficult to stay resilient though, with all the ways he’s spoiling me. I must stay on track. At the end of the week, I’ll be leaving Dante and the Grand Palazzo all together.The car comes to a halt at the front entrance of the Villa. Even without the wedding decorations and the hubbub of that day, the villa looks amazing. The old-world beauty is even more prominent now. We’re greeted by a middle-aged man I saw last time

Chapter 126

He takes my hand in his so casually and yet I feel like I’ve been jolted by an electric bolt when I feel his hand hold mine. He takes me to the tower as he promised, telling me everything about it, from its history and showing me the architecture inside. “You know a lot about this place,” I say after we exit the building. “If I didn’t know any better, I would have thought you googled all of this.” He turns away from me, as his face reddens. “Oh, my god,” you did a little googling didn’t you?”“Guilty. But I wanted to impress you. Did it work?”“It did. The Wikipedia rundown gave you away, however, you should have added a little flare to your facts.” I still can’t believe he wants to impress me, though. Try as I might not to think about it too much, I can’t ignore the warmth inside. I squeeze his hand. “Do you have more to show me,Mr. Tour guide?”“Let me check my phone.”I laugh out loud and note that he doesn’t ‘check his phone’ as he says, but instead he takes me to a local gallery

Chapter 127

Note: So, I know that the ride is a good one as I can see the many reviews. I will drop these bonus Chapters which is short SMUT book. I love y'all my readers. Title: Saved by my Ex-Boyfriend's Dad. ISLASmack. The slap to my right cheek is so vicious that it blends with his brutal kick to my stomach a few minutes ago. “Can you shut up, Isla?”I cover my face and body with my arms to shelter me from further blows. He thinks I deserve this. It’s always my fault somehow. I say the wrong thing, or he’s had a bad day, and my face is the cushion for his turbulent emotions. He’s beaten me to where I’m too traumatized to say anything, not that there’d be any point. When Paul is like this, it’s almost as if he creates his own reality, completely caught up in whatever twisted notion his mind has conjured up. Today, the trigger was a guy named Tommy who looked at me a little too long in Introduction to Chemistry. Paul wouldn’t have known who Tommy was, except he had me shadowed by one of hi

Chapter 128

BRYCEI fling the door open and stare at my son. He’s not a large man, but he’s inherited my height. At six feet- three inches, his short girlfriend looks much like a child. His arm possessively holds her to his side like a woman clutches a designer handbag she can’t afford. Something flashy to show the world that he’s somebody. Paul’s always been weak that way, unable to stand on his own merit. More interested in projecting the idea of what others might see as desirable. The fucked up part of my world, the parts I loathe, all wrapped up in my progeny. I could use the excuse that when I had Paul, I was a kid myself, sixteen and a father, but the reality is that my father’s genes are dominant in his veins. My old man would be proud to witness Paul, his grandson, the same monster he always wished I’d be. I’ve seen Paul on and off through the years, but when he needed me the most, I was locked up in Bedford Hills for bashing a guy's head in after he shot one of my buddies outside a clu

Chapter 129

ISLAI won’t hurt you. I promise.How do I convince myself of the validity of those words from the mouth of the man who pulverized his son in front of me? Because from what I witnessed and the evidence of Paul’s blood covering Bryce’s hands and the floor beneath me, Bryce could not only hurt me but also demolish me far worse than Paul ever has. The way his rage unleashed on Paul was horrific. There was no hesitation, no remorse. He went at Paul like a feral animal. His own son. Not that Paul doesn’t deserve it—he does. There was satisfaction in seeing him humiliated on the ground, whimpering and scared. But Paul is also Bryce’s son. Anger and violence seem to be familiar traits. Paul gets up from the floor, and I notice he’s holding an oval-shaped glass vase. “Bryce, watch out!”Bryce moves swiftly and barely misses getting whacked in the face. Paul’s swings are erratic, his fingers barely holding on to the rim of the crystal. A loud crash is followed by the spray of small crystal p

Chapter 130

ISLAWe sit in silence across from each other at the rich maple table. I gaze around the room, decorated in warm mahoganies and russet oranges. A little odd for a park avenue apartment but a pleasant contrast to the overflow of white at Paul’s place. The furniture suits Bryce. It’s solid and robust, like him. He’s also gentle and kind, with an underlying air of authority and control. He’s everything I’d hoped Paul was when we first met. Bryce watches me as I move my food mindlessly on my plate. I haven’t taken a bite of my food, even though it smells divine—beef tenderloin with some sort of sauce, button mushrooms, garlic mashed potatoes, and mapleglazed Brussels sprouts. “Greta will be disappointed you didn’t try her steak,” Bryce says as he places a piece of medium-rare beef between his lips. Can a man’s mouth be described as beautiful? This man’s is. “I’m not hungry.” The corners of Bryce’s lips turn up to reveal charming dimples. He places his fork on the bone china plate, an
