41: A Perfect Opportunity
Dante felt like a provoked lion after Giulia narrated to him what had happened.In her words, "Greg abducted me, beating and torturing me for not keeping to my word."Seeing the angry look on her husband's face, Giulia panicked that Dante might decide to go after Greg.She had realized that Dante was gifted in terms of physical strength, but she did not want him to approach someone like Greg in that manner.She did not want him to confront a man who had thugs scattered across the country working for him."But I'm fine," said Giulia. "They didn't lay a hand on me anyway." She was trying to calm Dante down, even though she had been tortured, almost as they did to her in Bari when Dante came to her rescue.Dante let out a sigh, unable to say a word for a few seconds."But did they confront you at all?" he asked, trying to confirm something.Giulia opened her mouth, then closed it.She was at a loss for words, unsure of what to say to avoid triggering him."I have been silent for too long
42: Ex-girlfriend
It was early morning, around seven-thirty a.m., when Dante left the Santoro manor to visit his main offices in the city and across other cities.He had told Giulia he was going for a job interview, knowing it would make her happy, given her persistent requests for him to find a job.Meanwhile, Giulia was preparing for the business meeting the Santoro Group had with the Armani Allied Group.Today, both parties were making the official declaration of their partnership.Various media outlet representatives would be present to cover the event.Halfway to the airport, Dante realized something concerning the event.He took out his phone from his pocket and dialed Giulia's number.It rang for a while but went unanswered."Maybe she's in the bathroom," he murmured, dropping the phone, his eyes back on the bustling city street.About ten minutes later, a few kilometers away from the airport, Dante received a call from Giulia and slowed down the car before answering."Hello..." Giulia's voice c
43: The Event
Surprised, Dante turned, only to see Ivy running towards him, trying to draw his attention.Fortunately, a cab pulled up at that moment, and he hopped in.He didn't even bother to reply to her, as she was not worth his attention.About five minutes into the journey, Dante's phone rang, and when he checked, it happened to be Greg."You again?" A wry smile formed across his lips as he saw the name there.The call rang for a while, and he didn't answer.Dante was about to put the phone back in his pocket when it started ringing for the second time, and it was the same person.Out of annoyance, he picked up the call to lash out at Greg. He had kept silent enough.However, Greg's voice cut him short."I know you must have gotten tired of my disturbance by now." He let out a deadpan chuckle."Well, I'm calling to let you know I actually meant what I texted you a few days ago," he said.Dante gulped, unable to compose a reply."What do you mean?" He managed to say, his facial expression lace
44: The Group President
"Yes. This is perfectly calculated," Dante thought, relishing the anticipation as he sat in his office.Today, he was planning to reveal parts of himself to his in-laws, who had taken him for granted.Dante was the one making those decisions that he had been discussing it with Giulia on the phone.In his decision, "Having those strong haters of him at the event would make them change their perspectives towards me."Although Dante never intended to fully come out of the closet, he just wanted to pique their curiosity.He picked up his phone from the table and dialed Lorenzo's number."Good morning, young master Moretti," Lorenzo's voice came from the other end."Good morning, Lorenzo," he replied."Remember to keep a close eye on my wife.""Definitely, sir," Lorenzo responded, his tone sounding like that of a soldier receiving a command from his superior."Good. Let me know if any of her family members arrive later.""Alright, sir.""Also, make sure they sit together. I want them toget
45: Greg Confronted Him
It was 6 p.m. when Dante rose from his chair to leave his office. His face was filled with relish and satisfaction.The event had been amazing. He enjoyed how he put his in-laws in their place.He watched their expressions on the surveillance camera as he was brought up by Lorenzo to make his speech.Dante was even more satisfied as curiosity sparked in their faces upon hearing his voice.He had overheard their discussions, arguing about the possibility of him being the president of Armani Allied Group.He also noticed the confusion on his wife's face and was glad she was in the same state as well.He imagined what their reactions would have been if he had turned on the video during the Zoom call."Goodbye, sir," the PA's voice sounded as Dante prepared to leave for the elevator.Dante responded with a kind gesture before departing.Walking through the lobby, he basked in the limelight.Everyone admired him, especially the female staff."What a calm, gentle young man," he overheard th
46: Seduction
Greg smirked upon the question, keeping silent and walking directly in Dante's face.Dante stood firm. He didn't even flinch."What need is the closed-door meeting again if we discuss it here?""What need is the close space again if we discuss about the meeting here? Besides, we're not the only ones here." Greg was letting out an evil smile while he was talking."Well, it's fine." He cleared his throat and continued."If you're scared of Emerald District, we can have it at a coffee shop, though," he suggested."Maybe you can suggest one of your choice," he added.Dante gulped. "It's fine. Hit me up when the time comes. By then I'll suggest a coffee shop." He entered the car, leaving Greg alone out there."You can go now. Sorry for the delay." He said to the cab driver.The driver let out a deep sigh of relief, ignited the engine, and drove off.The screeching tires causing dust.Stunned by his confidence, Greg stood there perplexed and confused, watching until the car was out of sight
47: Name Your Price
"What would it cost to make you back off from Giulia?" Said Greg."Name your price."Dante gulped, a smirk creeping on his lips."I'm sorry, Greg, but you can't buy me off. You're too poor for that."The words stung Greg's ears like a scorpion's stinger.He was visibly shaken by the statement.Greg had never imagined hearing such a statement from his superiors, let alone from someone who was a live-in son-in-law.He clenched his teeth, trying to mask his emotions."How much are we talking about?" He asked Dante, studying his reaction.Dante simply smiled. "Is this the reason you called me here?" he asked, his expression turning mean and icy.Greg let out an exasperated sigh. He snapped his fingers, and one of his men appeared with a briefcase.The man handed the briefcase to his boss, Greg, and left immediately.Greg cleared his throat and began, "This is five hundred thousand dollars." He slightly opened it, making sure Dante took a glance at the money inside."Use it to better yours
48: She Accused Him
Early in the morning, Giulia woke Dante up from his sleep."I want us to discuss," she said.Dante sat up, stretching himself as he tried to shake off the sleep."You should be sleeping by now. What is the problem?" He asked her, his tone showing tiredness. He needed that sleep.Giulia sighed. She didn't say a word until Dante was fully awake, leaning his back against the wall, his face showing tiredness.Giulia tilted her head and glared at him with a hint of anger, making him sit up and join her at the edge of the bed."What is the matter?" He asked again, placing his hand on her shoulder in a sign of concern."I need us to talk like a couple," she said, tilting her head to look him in the face."Who really are you?" She asked. "I can see how Grandpa always worships and praises you. That alone shows you're not an ordinary person."Dante couldn't help but chuckle."Is that why you have been unable to sleep?" he asked her, but the question provoked her even more."That is not an answe
49: There's Evidence
As the altercation was getting heated, Theodore barged in out of nowhere."Your cup is finally full," he said, referring to Dante with an evil smirk on his lips, insinuating that everything was planned out between him and Anita.Dante sighed. "I know nothing about the lies Anita is spreading, and you're the one who knows what you're talking about.""I never mentioned having a cup I'm trying to fill with any substance," he added, his tone unbothered.Unexpectedly, Anita walked up to him and slapped him hard."How dare you?" she roared. "How dare you make a joke of us?"Dante's face frowned in shock."Did you just slap me?" he asked, holding his cheek.Giulia was already confused. Anita's actions showed confidence in what she was saying.If she was just making things up, would she have the nerve to slap him?Dante, on the other hand, feigned an innocent face, his reaction indicating he was being accused.She was frantically confused about who to believe."It seems you don't understand t
50: A Severe Punishment
Panic washed over Giulia at those words, especially when she saw Theodore and her sister unwrapping an envelope to bring out the evidence. Their facial expressions were serious, indicating they were not joking. They came prepared. She quickly nudged Dante with her elbow. "Aren't you going to apologize?" "Do you think you can get away with this just because you're on good terms with my grandpa?" She was angry and frustrated at him. Dante smiled lightly and whispered in her ear, "Calm down. Everything happens for a reason." Giulia's anger intensified at his response. She was trying to end the embarrassment, but Dante seemed indifferent. He appeared willing to drag her into the mud simply because she married him. Did she make a bad decision to accept him? She should have stood her ground and refused to marry a man way below her league.<
