Isabella POVThere were a lot of guests that afternoon, all visiting from outside the city to try some of the famous Conti wines and they ordered cheese to pair with the different varietals, and I enjoyed doing something with my time that wasn’t so isolating. It's been a while I did this and didn't know I loved it this much.When I painted, I rarely interacted with anyone else. I spent all afternoon in silence, creating pieces based on thoughts, memories, and feelings.Most artists were solitary people, and I guessed I was that way too but I enjoyed mingling with the tourists and locals who stopped by and to my surprise, people really did love my paintings.A couples talked about their favorites, people asked about the prices, and a few even bought one before they left. Before lunchtime arrived, I’d made over ten thousand euros and I couldn’t believe it.I walked over to a table with two young gentlemen who seemed to be brothers, based on the way they were causally insulting each othe

Varos POVMy sister was the most annoying brat on the planet. She infuriated me as much as she demanded my respect but I loved her so much and would do anything for her, so the second her name was mentioned, I was scared on a whole new level. “Remember Dante? The popular sniper”Like I’d ever forget seeing my enemy’s son. “Yes…”“Your sister is seeing him.”“Seeing him how…?” There was no way she was dating him because that was preposterous.“Dating him,” my father said. “Seriously dating him.”I heard every single word, but my body rejected the sentence. My spitfire sister was sleeping with the son of the man who’d damaged our lives? “Are you sure?”Isabella was too smart to do something like that. She was too stubborn, like the rest of the Conti. “That just doesn’t sound right.”He nodded. “I’m sure. She told me she loves him…”My fingers slackened, and I almost dropped my glass. “What?”He nodded again. “I knew she’d been seeing someone for a while, but she never introduced him to

Dante POVIsabella was the first thing I looked at every morning. I opened my eyes, and she was there, her beautiful skin bright in the morning light. I studied her for a while before I turned her over and made myself welcome between her legs.Evening used to be my favorite time of day but now it was the morning because this was how every morning was. My arms pinned her knees in place, and I moved between her legs, greeted by her tightness and wetness. I woke her up slowly, watching her eyes flutter open as the pleasure circulated in her veins.She enjoyed sex the most when she was half asleep, when all her sensations were heightened. Her hands eventually pressed against my chest and she looked at me with sleepy beautiful eyes.I loved the way she looked at me, with nothing but love and devotion. Isabella gave herself to me despite all the odds against us. She told her brother I was the man she loved then told her father she wanted to be with me forever.She stood up for me in spite o

Dante POVI’d hated the Conti family for so long, but spending time with them had taught me to respect them because they were honest, honorable, and compassionate.If Conti didn’t love his daughter so much, he wouldn’t be sitting with me right now. “It is the reason I fell in love with her in the first place. She has.bigger balls than most men I’ve met and she stood up to me when men twice her size would have shit their pants. She didn’t hesitate to try to kill me, unlike most women. She’s told me off more times than I can count… I never knew that was the kind of woman I was looking for. I respect her because she’s the first woman who didn’t just earn my respect, but commanded it and I see where she gets it.”Conti picked up the glass, lightly tapping the side with his finger. “When I met my wife, she was the same way. Outgunned yet she stood no chance at all but that didn’t stop her from fighting. She put me in my place so many times and I respected the way she never stopped fighting

Dante POV“Isabella would never expect me to quit working for her.”“No but I do. You want my daughter? Prove it. Prove to me that you’ll take care of her.”My temper was rising, but I did my best to keep it sheathed. “I need money to take care of her.”“You have more money than you’ll ever need them you can retire.....we both know it.”Looked like he dug into me pretty extensively if he knew my finances. “You do it for your own personal reasons and you get off on putting a bullet in someone’s head.”“Like you’re any different,” I countered. “You were just like me when you were my age. I’ve never been unclear about the man that I am, but you continue to sugarcoat the man you used to be.”“I’m not sugarcoating it. I just don’t think it’s relevant.”“And I don’t think it’s relevant for me because I’m not the same guy anymore. Isabella changed me....for good.”“Then quit,” he snapped. “Walk away and my daughter deserves a man who will protect her, not bring danger to her front door.”I b
