CHAPTER SIXTEENDante shook his head, standing on his resolve.“I am sure there is a mix-up somewhere. The President must have signed another deal, or maybe the one you speak of belongs to me and not him.” He turned to Jordan, causing him to growl at him.“How dare you speak about me in that manner?! Do you know who I am, or what I am capable of?!” Jordan’s eyes burned with so much annoyance, but it didn’t matter how angry he looked, Dante just stared at him silently.Infuriated, Jordan turned to Henry, his right fist clenched tightly.“I am highly disappointed, Mr. Bellock! Is this how you treat important business associates?!” His eyes were still glaring, prompting the Supervisor to step closer, lifting both hands toward him.“I am very sorry, Mr. Colman.” Henry cleared his throat, and then he stopped walking, standing about two meters away from Jordan.“Just give me a second to handle this, okay?” He turned to Dante, preparing his final warning to him.“I give you one last chance t

CHAPTER FIFTEEN Silence hung in the air, accompanied by the eyes that had turned to Dante.Standing in front of Mira’s family, he knew nothing to say, avoiding their gazes.Mira’s father, Roy Anvil sat across the long table.He cleared his throat before he spoke in a very deep tone.“You say you are my daughter’s husband?”“Yes…” Dante gave a quick response, nodding in affirmation.Roy arched his brows, gnashing his teeth while he turned to face his daughter.“How is this even possible?” He asked, looking the lady in the eyes.Mira swallowed hard, and then she took a deep breath.“We have been dating for a while, Dad. Dante and I decided to get married.” She couldn’t look her father in the eyes, bending her face to the ground.Suddenly, it seemed as though she had made a very terrible decision, but it was already too late to change her mind.Roy gnashed his teeth, and then he turned to Dante.“The only way I am going to accept you into this family is if you can get me the contract I

CHAPTER FOURTEEN“I am coming.” Mira gave a quick response before she took a deep breath.She began marching toward Dante while he waited for her to get close enough.They walked into the building together, sauntering toward the reception.Mira grunted when she saw that three couples were standing in front of the reception, and they probably came for the same reason as they did.“I hope we make it.” She lamented, checking her time.As they approached, their footsteps drew the attention of the other couples who were waiting for their turns as they stood before the receptionist who seemed to be almost frustrated, chewing on the gum that had been drained of its flavor several hours earlier.Mira didn’t mind, she held onto Dante tightly, walking stylishly with an anticipatory smile on her face.Soon, they were close enough, yet some of the young people couldn’t stop staring at them, their attention particularly drawn to Dante who was the complete opposite of Mira.Dante ignored all their

CHAPTER THIRTEEN“What?!” Mira gasped, her eyes sparking with shock.“Ten million dollars?! That’s a ridiculous amount, don’t you think?!”“No. I don’t…” Dante shook his head slowly, holding onto his wry smile.“If I am going to put a hold to my life all because of you, then I deserve to be rewarded with a very substantial amount. Don’t you think so?” He looked Mira in the eyes, and even though she tried to, she couldn’t deny the fact that he was telling the truth.She grunted, taking a deep breath.It was a struggle for her to agree with that amount, but the desperation that was clearly written all over her face was bright enough for Dante to see.He cleared his throat just to get her attention, waiting for her to slowly turn her face to him.“So…” He sighed softly, holding onto his smile.“When are we starting?” He asked, causing the lady to arch her brows.“You sound so certain that I am going to agree to pay you that ridiculous amount. I haven’t even said yes to you...”“Then why

CHAPTER TWELVEAt first, Dante wanted to ignore her, but on the contrary, she seemed quite interesting.“What proposal?” He asked, paying keen attention.Mira nodded in satisfaction, unable to hide the pleasure plastered all over her face.“I am glad that I finally have your attention. That is a good start.” She remarked, and when she saw the impatience on Dante’s face, she knew that she had to be quick with what she had to say.‘’I want you to marry me.” She blurted, causing Dante to gasp, his eyes wild with shock.He waited, hoping to see laughter on Mira’s face, but her countenance was the same.The smile on Mira’s face didn’t look like it was going to vanish, causing him to huff.“This has to be a joke, Mira. It is a joke, right?”“No.” Mira shook her head, holding onto her smirk.“Look…” She cleared her throat, taking two steps closer to Dante.“I know that this sounds very ridiculous…”“I am glad you do…” Dante interrupted her, but that didn’t stop her from talking.Mira took a

CHAPTER ELEVEN Dante looked back, and even though he could see that it was Jasmine, that wasn’t enough to calm his anger, his eyes flaming with rage.But the lady had no intention of letting go, especially since it was very obvious that Dante was willing to kill Damien.“I have already made my choice, Dante. You don’t need to kill anyone because of it…” Her words hit Dante in the chest, causing him to growl.He turned to look at her, and because his eyes were burning with rage, she was forced to gasp, and then she let go of him.Jasmine staggered backward, her eyes wide with fear.They were almost bulging as though they were ready to crawl out of their sockets, especially with the amount of fear that had rushed through her veins.Dante took a deep breath, looking her in the eyes.“I can’t believe that you would say that to me.” His voice was barely above a whisper, dragged down by the pain and annoyance that simmered through his veins.After taking a look at Damien who was pinned to
