21: Dante Is Pissed Off
Stop embarrassing yourself!" Giulia couldn't help but caution Dante.She had expected him to remain silent, but he seemed determined to embarrass them both."I know what I'm saying, Giulia," he responded in a hushed tone, moving slightly away from her to avoid being interrupted."Grandma, don't let this manipulator deceive you like he did Grandpa," a masculine voice interjected."I can confidently say that it was through Greg's influence that Armani Allied Group accepted our proposal."Dante easily recognized him as Theodore's brother due to their striking resemblance."Yes, Davis is correct," Ezrah chimed in. "Theodore's connection with Greg likely played a role in Armani Allied Group's acceptance of Giulia's request," he insinuated, convincing the others.Greg was a formidable figure, capable of intimidating even prominent individuals. It's not difficult to understand that this could be the case in this situation."You're mistaken," Dante retorted.Even Lady Santoro seemed swayed by
22: How It Started
As the car was approaching and the security men inside saw it wasn't someone they knew, they were surprised.What gave him such audacity to penetrate through the estate gate knowing his status as a nobody?The Serenity Heights estate has two entry gates. The security men were the ones on duty at the first gate, which Dante just passed through.They had departed for a mission best known to them, leaving the gate unchecked with hope of returning early. This was why Dante was able to find his way in without identification.They cornered him, obstructing his way. "What's your business here, Mr.?" one of them asked, his voice flat."I'm heading to my house in this Serenity Heights estate," Dante replied, surprising the two men in the car.They were the security personnel responsible for protecting lives and property in the district.Hearing his response, they exchanged disbelieving glances and couldn't help but burst into laughter."Seriously?" one of them scoffed.Dante's statement didn't
23: A Threatful Message
Dante had just finished taking a shower. He was heading to the dining room to eat the fruits he had taken from the fridge when he heard his phone ringing in the bedroom.He went to check, only to notice it was his wife calling. Since no one was staying in the house, there was no cooked food stored in the fridge, so he resorted to eating fruits despite his hunger.He took the phone to the dinner table but refused to answer the call.Both of them were still angry at each other over their displays at the Santoro family dinner banquet.Dante knew that answering the call would only fuel their anger. Giulia would likely say something that would make him do something he didn't want, especially for the sake of Vittorio Santoro, the patriarch of the Santoro family.He muted the sound and went ahead to eat. From the way he was eating the fruits, one could tell he was famished. Throughout the day, he had been busy cleaning for the Santoro family in preparation for the dinner banquet, only to b
24: Apology Under Duress
It was early morning in Dante's mansion in the Serenity Heights estate.Dante was still asleep in his king-size bed when the sound of his phone ringing woke him up."Who is this?" He grumbled in annoyance and reached for the phone to decline the call.He had slept off really late last night, hoping to sleep to his satisfaction and wake up when he wanted since he was at his personal home.Realizing it was his father-in-law calling, he let out a helpless sigh. He couldn't ignore or decline because of his relationship with him."Hello, young master Moretti, good morning," Pa. Santoro's voice echoed from the other end of the call.He couldn't even let Dante reply when he added, "I'm sorry for calling you at this early hour of the day; show some mercy to your humble servant for such a grievous mistake.""A toad, they say, doesn't run in the day without a cause." He paused and gulped down. "I did because of the urgency of the situation at hand."At the last statement, Dante had already know
25: A Thrilling Match
The first place Dante visited was the Colosseum.The Colosseum is actually a place worth visiting.Upon his arrival, he was welcomed by the guard.After parking in the parking lot, they were led into the main Colosseum.The chauffeur was waiting inside the car while he went with the tour guide. He could have followed him to act as a bodyguard, but Dante objected.He had always wanted to keep a low profile in public.As Dante stepped into the Colosseum, he was swept up in a sea of cheering crowds. The air was electric, thick with anticipation.Guide: (grinning) "Welcome to the heart of Rome's power, signore! Today, you'll witness the might of the empire," he said to Dante.Dante forced out a smile, "Incredible... I can't wait to witness what you guys have for the viewers," he replied, his eyes wandering around, admiring the atmosphere.Guide: "Make sure you're ready for it, sir. Gladiators will face off in the arena. It's a spectacle like no other."Dante chuckled. "Nothing moves me as
26: Call Me Dante
By the time Dante was done visiting his major locations, it was already evening, making him wonder if he could still achieve his last wish for the day.He had planned to visit the ARMANI ALLIED branch office, which was newly established in this city, to know how it was performing."Do you know about Armani Allied Group?" he asked the chauffeur."Of course, sir," said the chauffeur."What time does their operation stop for the day?" he added, staring at the wristwatch to confirm the time."Never mind," he said to the chauffeur. "Just take me back to my place.""As you wish, young master," the chauffeur replied, driving off to the Serenity Heights estate.Inside the car, Dante tried to bring up a conversation. He wanted to make the chauffeur feel free around him, knowing he was just a normal human being like him and not the god he takes him for."So where are you from, Chauffeur? You're yet to tell me your name.""Steve, sir," the chauffeur replied, his gaze fixated on the road."What a
27: The Man They Never Knew
The next morning, Dante woke up to the sound of someone in the sitting room.He couldn't figure out exactly what the person was doing. He sat up and walked to the visitor's room, where Steve had slept last night, but he wasn't there.This gave him some confidence that the sound he was hearing in the sitting room was actually Steve.Quietly, he headed towards the sitting room for confirmation."Why should he be awake at this time?" He mumbled to himself in wonder.It was four-thirty in the morning, for crying out loud, and Steve wasn't in the room sleeping.Walking into the sitting room, Dante's mouth fell open upon seeing Steve frantically mopping and cleaning the furniture."Come on, Steve. It's not yet day. You should be sleeping by now," Dante snapped, walking over to him to disrupt his activities."You're a chauffeur, not a maid.""But...""Like I said, you're not a maid," Dante cuts him short. "Your job is to drive me around not doing house chores."The chauffeur was utterly stu
28: Back To Milan City
The past week had been amazing for Dante, from touring different places in Rome to visiting his branch office in the city.Now he's back in Milan, a place where he feels undervalued, ridiculed, and subjected to constant hatred. A place where he serves as a live-in son-in-law."Dante, you need to find a job. I'm tired of being mocked for having a jobless husband," Giulia's voice echoed from the room.It was early morning, and they were preparing for the day's activities."And who says I have no job?" Dante objected, sitting up from the bed and joining Giulia at the edge.Seeing her expression, Dante could tell she was emotionally hurt. He placed his hand on her shoulder and leaned closer."Why do you stress over what people would say?""Why do you care about people's opinions? People who don't add any value to your...""Please!" Giulia cut him short. "I beg your pardon. My family members add value to my life," she insinuated, amusing Dante."Then why were none of them able to secure th
29: You Should Leave The City
The sound of Giulia's car purred like a groaning lion as Dante drove into the Santoro manor.Steering into the garage, Davies and other family members, who were grandchildren, came out to witness the arrival.Seeing it was Giulia and her husband, everyone was disappointed. They had thought someone important had visited the family.They were about to spurn and head back into the house when an open truck drove in, its back filled with goodies like bags, shoes, and other valuables, visible through the transparent nylon covering it."Please offload them there," Giulia instructed the driver, pointing in a particular direction where the servants would carry them into their room.Dante and Giulia walked into the house, arms laden with shopping bags, exuding the scent of luxury and happiness. Giulia's cousins could not help but stare at them with jealousy, surprise etched on their faces."Giulia, what's all this?" her mother asked, eyeing the bags.Giulia beamed, "Dante took me shopping! Look
30: Stay Away From Giulia
When the time Dante had paid for the room reservation expired, Giulia tried to persuade him to extend it, but Dante objected."I don't feel comfortable staying too long in a hotel," said Dante.Giulia's face frowned. "But I don't feel like going back to that house," she said. "At least until Grandpa arrives."Dante grinned. "I think it's best if we get our own apartment then.""We have more pressing issues to deal with," Giulia countered, considering the financial burden on her."You need a business of your own. That should be one of our top priorities now," she stated.A mischievous smile crept onto Dante's lips. Even after his display at Essential boutique, she still saw him as a jobless man."Who says I'm jobless?" he asked, seeking an explanation."If I were jobless, would I be able to take you out shopping at the most renowned clothing store in the city?"Giulia breathed an exasperated sigh. "Why was he acting as if he was doing her a favor if he had something legal to do?" She t
