Chapter 192: Stop Waiting for Permission

Gianna's POVDante reached down and pulled his shirt over his head swiftly.His torso was all lean muscle and defined lines, the kind of body that looked like it had been carved from marble.His abs flexed as he settled back against the headboard, arms folding behind his head.A cocky grin spread across his face, the kind that both infuriated and thrilled me.He looked like a king waiting to be serviced, completely at ease while I was falling apart."Well?" His voice was smooth, taunting. "I'm waiting."Heat flooded my face, spreading down my neck and chest. "This is...""What? Too much?" He tilted his head, eyes glinting with challenge. "You came in here dressed like temptation itself, swaying your hips, pushing your tits in my face, grinding that perfect ass against my cock. Now you're shy?""You're making fun of me.""I'm not." His expression softened slightly, but the heat in his eyes remained. "I'm trying to teach you how to take what you want. Stop waiting for permission."My th

Chapter 193: Finish What You Started

Dante's POVGianna had been right. I had been avoiding her and the tension between us.Tonight, she stepped out of the bathroom wearing red lingerie, looking sexy as hell. The moment she appeared, her eyes locked on mine, hungry and full of desire. It was obvious what she wanted. She was trying to seduce me.For days, I kept my distance, even though wanting her hurt worse than staying away.So I intentionally acted uninterested and made her work for it. But the truth was, I had been holding myself back, my control hanging by a thread.When your wife says she doesn't want to sleep with you on your wedding night because she doesn't trust you, it does something to you. It makes you want to shut off every emotion, especially when you feel like you've laid everything out for her.Had I really, though?I had never actually told her how I truly felt.But she should have known. I showed her every day. I was willing to take a bullet for her, for fuck's sake, even if it meant leaving my daughte

Chapter 194: My Wife Is a Little Obsessed

Gianna's POVI dragged myself down to the patio, every step a reminder of last night. My body was still oversensitive and ached. I'd barely slept, tossing and turning, desperately craving release.Vera was already at the table, looking beautiful in a cream linen dress. She glanced up as I approached, and her eyebrows lifted."Gianna," she said warmly. Her voice trailed off as she took me in. "You look beautiful and also... exhausted."I dropped into the chair across from her. "Good morning to you too."She leaned forward, eyes bright with curiosity. "He kept you up all night, didn't he?"My face went hot. "Sort of."A server appeared with a basket of pastries, fruit, and orange juice. The smell of warm bread made my stomach turn."Tell me everything." Vera poured juice into both glasses. "The lingerie, did he notice?"I grabbed a croissant and tore off a piece. "He noticed.""And?""And nothing." I stuffed the pastry in my mouth.Her face fell. "Nothing? What do you mean, nothing?"I

Chapter 195: Girls Date Out

Gianna's POVThe car pulled through tall iron gates, winding down a private drive shaded by palm trees.A buffed man in a black suit opened the door. "Mrs. DeLuca, welcome."He nodded to Mira and me. "Ladies."I stepped out and froze.The house sat on the hill, bright in the sun, with flowers everywhere. The pool faced the sea, and there was music, laughter, and people in the water.Vera noticed Mira and me staring. She gestured toward the estate. "Welcome to paradise."Mira pulled off her sunglasses. "Holy shit. This is gorgeous."I blinked. "Mira's right. This place is... I don't even know what to say."Vera grinned. "You haven't seen the rest."She led the way toward the main entrance."This estate belongs to the Navarro family," Vera explained as we walked. "They've been close to Cesare for years. Roberto runs one of the largest arms operations in Europe. Very powerful. Very wealthy."I glanced at her, shocked. "So we're hanging out with arms dealers now?"Vera laughed. "Welcome t

Chapter 196: What Freedom Looks Like

Gianna's POVWe stepped out into the sunlight, bikinis clinging to our skin. Vera handed us fresh glasses of champagne."Come," she said, leading us toward the pool area.Maria appeared beside us, gesturing toward a private cabana draped in white fabric. "Mrs. DeLuca, your area is ready."We followed her to the lounge beds beneath the canopy. The cushions were plush, the shade cool against the heat.I sank into one, adjusting the strings of my bikini.I could feel eyes on us. Men by the pool, their gazes lingering. I was not used to this. From my father's house to Dante's, I had always been hidden away.This was my first time in a bikini with so many people around.I crossed my arms over my stomach, feeling slightly self-conscious as I forced myself to relax. This was what freedom looked like, wasn't it? Even if Vera and Estelle had just told me my life would always be a gilded cage.At least after the honeymoon, Dante agreed I could go back to college and get my degree. That was some

Chapter 197: Blood Turned to Ice

Gianna's POV I chuckled, knowing it wasn't possible considering Dante's jealousy. He wasn't just going to let me hang with another guy. "I don't think that's possible." "I love a good challenge." He tilted his head. "Are you from around here?" "Um, no. America." "American!" He laughed, shaking his head. "Let me guess. New York? California?" I hit back playfully. "My parents are originally Italian, but I was born and raised in the States." "Ah, so you're one of us." He switched to Italian for a moment before going back to English. "How's your Italian?" "Better than my English," I teased. He laughed. "I like you already." We went back and forth, the conversation flowing easily. He asked me questions, and I found myself relaxing more than I had in days. "So," I asked, "are you from around here?" "Born here." He spread his arms. "Monaco. Raised between here and Italy though. Best of both worlds." "Must be nice," I said wistfully. "It is." He paused. "I'd love to show you aro

Chapter 198: Betray a Client

Dante's POVBruno stood beside me, his eyes scanning the warehouse with vigilance.Crates of guns were stacked open, rows of rifles and handguns laid out inside. Roberto Navarro’s setup was high-grade and well built, boxes of ammunition, explosives, everything in bulk. My uncle was right.He was one of the largest arms dealers in Europe. My uncle’s source said Lorenzo was in touch with him, planning to buy arms to rebuild. That was why this meeting was set up, to get Roberto to turn on him.It wasn’t going to be easy or just about money. I was hoping to leverage my uncle’s relationship with Roberto and how they had been friends for years.Cesare walked ahead, his footsteps confident as he moved through the warehouse.Roberto emerged from behind a stack of crates, flanked by two of his men. He was in his fifties, with eyes that missed nothing.His face broke into a smile when he spotted my uncle, moving with the confidence of a man who had survived decades in a business where most didn

Chapter 199: Asking Him To Gamble

Dante's POVRoberto exhaled sharply, shaking his head."You're asking me to gamble everything. My reputation. My business. My life. Word gets out I'm a snitch, no one will deal with me again. Long-term partnerships could be affected.""It won't come from you." Cesare's tone was reassuring. "We'll stage it to look like a proper ambush. Lorenzo has enemies everywhere. Sooner or later someone was going to catch him. It just happens to be us."Roberto leaned back, skepticism etched across his face."And if someone talks? If one of Lorenzo's men survives and figures out I set him up?""They won't." My voice was cold. "Because none of them will survive. We'll make sure of it.""You can't guarantee that." Roberto's jaw tightened. "One mistake, one loose end, and I'm done.""You're overthinking this." Cesare leaned forward slightly. "Lorenzo operates alone for now. He doesn't trust anyone. He has no close allies, no one who would defend him or investigate too deeply. He's isolated himself. T

Chapter 200: His Hands Were on My Wife!

Dante's POVMusic boomed through the air, bass pounding so loud I could feel it in my chest. Roberto's pool party was in full swing.I stopped and looked around. This wasn't what I had expected. Young men, shirtless and tanned, sat on lounge chairs or stood in groups around the pool, drinks in hand. Women in bikinis moved between them, laughing.Guys were smoking cigars, talking too loudly, acting like they owned the place. It looked more like a nightclub than a brunch. Fucking great.My eyes narrowed as I caught a group near the bar raising their glasses, toasting to God knows what. One of them blew smoke at a woman who giggled and leaned closer. I wanted to leave already."There's Vera," Cesare's voice came from behind me.I turned. He was pointing across the pool toward one of the cabanas. Vera stood there in a white summer dress, a champagne glass in her hand.Next to her was another woman, dressed just as nicely, her dark hair pulled back. She was talking to Vera, smiling."That

Chapter 201: You Don't Control Me

Dante's POVThe second the bedroom door shut behind us, Gianna walked straight across the room toward the bathroom."Don't walk away from me."She kept walking."Gianna."She reached for the bathroom door handle."I said stop."My voice thundered. She froze, her hand on the handle, her back still to me."Turn around."For a second, she didn't move. Then slowly she turned. Her eyes met mine, and I could see the defiance burning there."Get back here."Her brows pulled together, but she didn't move."Now."She walked back toward me and stopped a few feet away, her arms crossing over her chest."What?"Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her in that bikini. Water dripping down her skin. That bastard in the pool. His hands on her waist. Her body against his as she smiled back. The image burned in my head, making my blood boil."What the hell was that back there?""What was what?""Don't play with me, Gianna." I stepped closer. "I leave you for one second and you're in another man's arms?"
