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

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

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

"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

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
