All Chapters of The Alpha's Bodyguard Is a Woman : Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Violet's POVThe drive back was way worse than the drive there and it felt like it was pressing down on my chest until I could barely breathe. I sat right across from Dante in the back of the SUV and spent the first several minutes just watching his profile against the glass, trying to find any trace of the version of him I actually knew. But it seemed like that man was totally gone. He was not in this car."Are you seriously not going to say anything to me?" I asked, my voice sounding a little raw. I wasn't speaking too loudly. After all Bret and Simon were there as well. He didn't move. He didn't even blink.I started talking anyway. I have never been good at just leaving things alone, and there was way too much at stake right now for me to be proud about it. I needed him to understand."Look, I can explain everything that just happened, I swear.” I said, leaning forward a bit despite the sharp sting in my ankle. "I explained why I presented myself as Diego. I needed work, Dante.

Violet's POV I woke up instantly feeling sick to my stomach. I spent the first few minutes just staring at the ceiling, trying to convince myself that everything from yesterday was just a massive mistake. Maybe Dante had just been stressed because of the elders. Maybe those horrible things he whispered into my ear at the altar were just a defense mechanism because he was overwhelmed. Even though he didn't come back to the room at all through the night, leaving his side of the bed completely untouched and freezing cold, I still tried to force myself to believe that we could fix this. He couldn't just completely change his nature overnight. It didn't make any sense. "He was just angry," I muttered to the empty room, trying to make the words sound real. "He just needs to calm down, and then we will talk." But the silence of the house was entirely suffocating. The reality of my situation started settling in the second I walked toward the door. Everyone in the house already knows abo

Dante's POVI stood by the large glass window pane of my office, my hands gripped tightly behind my back. From an upstairs window, I watched Violet seek comfort in Simon's arms. They were down in the secluded section of the courtyard garden, right beside the rose bushes. I could see her small shoulders shaking violently as she sobbed, her entire face buried against Simon's broad chest. Simon had his arms wrapped completely around her waist, holding her like she was the most precious thing in the world.A sharp pang of jealousy hit me and my heart squeezes painfully at the sight of her distress, though he suppresses his conflicting emotions. There was a part of me that was growling at the sight of another man touching my woman, but I forced the anger down into the pit of my stomach. I was the one who had kicked her out of my room last night. I was the one who had broken her heart on purpose to keep my own walls up. But still, seeing her turn to Simon made my blood boil."Get a gri

Violet's POVThe wedding dinner was an absolute nightmare. I sat at the long mahogany table, my legs tucked beneath my chair. My ankle was completely healed, but my chest still felt broken.The atmosphere was thick and completely suffocating with unspoken words. Nobody was eating the expensive food on their plates.I was seated right across from Dante's grandmother, Rose, who looked like she wanted to choke me with her silverware. Alex sat next to her, staring down at her napkin with a look of pure, unadulterated disgust. Then there was Dante himself, sitting at the head of the table like a king made of stone.He hadn't looked at me a single time since we sat down. The only sound in the entire room was the occasional clinking of glasses, and it was driving me insane.My chest felt so tight I could barely swallow my water. I looked at Rose, hoping for some sliver of humanity, but her face was just a mask of pure hatred. Alex wasn't any better, her aura radiating absolute bitterness acr

VioletI woke up before my alarm went off. The sun was just barely peeking through the heavy curtains, leaving long, ugly shadows all over my bedroom. I rolled over and reached out my hand, but the other side of the bed was completely empty. The sheets were cold. That was right... He said I meant nothing to him. A bitter smile formed on my lips as I bit back the tears that were threatening to spill. I sat up and rubbed my eyes, forcing myself to take a deep breath. Today was going to be different. I was determined to fix this marriage, no matter how hard it was. I couldn't keep living like a ghost in my own house. I remembered how he used to be before everything went to hell. This cold, robotic man I was living with right now couldn't be the real Dante. It just wasn't possible for a person to change that fast. I convinced myself that the man I loved was still in there, hidden deep down under all that ice. I just needed to find a way to drag him back out.I threw off the covers and
