CHAPTER FORTY-TWO“I don’t think you understand what is going on, Dante!” Mira grunted, struggling to catch up with Dante’s pace.She was very nervous, very reluctant to move.“This is very dangerous, Dante, and I wouldn’t want to see you get hurt.” Her voice was laden with intense concern for Dante, her eyes glittering with anxiety. “I suggest you get into that car and drive away at once.” She pointed to the Porsche, but Dante shook his head in refusal, looking her in the eyes.“Not without you, Mira.” He said calmly, and then he took a deep breath.“There is no way I am letting that fellow take you away from me. I don’t care who his boss is.”Mira gasped, and with a shaky voice, she whispered, “You still don’t understand, Dante.” She took a deep breath, and then she looked behind her, toward the entrance of the hospital.“My father and Robert were involved in a huge deal. It crashed, and because I played a major role in the part as well, Robert and my father agreed that I was going

CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR Billy fell to the ground and was forced to let go of Mira.“Are you okay?” Dante asked as soon as he caught Mira, looking her in the eyes.She nodded, taking a deep breath.Dante helped her get back on her feet, and then he pointed to the car.“I think you should go wait for me inside, Mira. I won’t take long.”Mira nodded, and after taking a look at Billy who was still unconscious on the ground, she hurried to the car, stepping over the blood and bodies all over the floor.Many onlookers had gathered, but they were peeping from long distances, afraid of getting closer to the scene.Their eyes were wide with fear, and they looked at Dante as though they had seen a god.“Who is he?” Many asked, fear gripping their voices as they spoke.Soon, cameras were beginning to flash secretly, and when the owners saw that Dante’s eyes had moved toward them, they moved away, hiding behind walls and pillars.Dante scoffed, and ignoring all the eyes that were hawking at him, he

CHAPTER FORTY-SIX“Yes.” Dante nodded, and his smile reappeared. “Tell him that Seventh is here to see him. I am sure that he will ask you to let me in.”“Please, come in!” Micah quickly left the way, opening the door wider.“My Master has been waiting for you. He said you were going to come someday!” He bowed, his entire body gripped by growing agitation.Dante sighed heavily, and without delay, he stepped into the building, taking his steps slow and steady.The little boy shut the boy silently after he had looked to be sure that no one else was around.Eventually, he sat at Dante, watching silently from behind as he sauntered to the middle of what was supposed to be a living room.Dante’s steps had become slower, more like he was counting five seconds before taking the next step.His eyes moved from one corner of the large room to the other, and even though a lot had changed, it didn’t stop the memory from crashing inside his mind.He halted after a few steps, turning to the boy who

CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHTDante stared at the young lady as she sauntered toward him, grunting at the weight of the chair she was carrying.When she drew closer to Dante, she dropped the chair, placing it in a very good position for him.Dante chuckled softly, and then he nodded. “Thank you, Aria.” He turned to the old man, staring him in the face.“Now I see the resemblance. She took after you, old man.”Caster chuckled softly, and then he turned to Aria.“Get us something to drink, Aria.”“Yes, Master Caster.” Aria bowed, and after a glance at Dante, she left in a hurry.Dante turned to Caster, his eyes wide with curiosity.“Master Caster? Is that what she calls you?”“That’s what everyone calls me, Dante. That’s what you called me when you were here.”“But I was not your grandson.” Dante made himself very comfortable on the chair, resting his back on it.“You were more than a grandson to me, Dante. You were like a son to me.” The old man grunted, nodding to affirm his words.“I am so gl

CHAPTER FIFTY“Why are you doing this?” Aria asked, staring Dante in the face.She could see the strong determination that was plastered all over his face, but it was hard for her to fathom the reason why Dante was about to do what he had made up his mind for.Dante took a deep breath, and then he inched closer to the young lady, holding onto his deadpan expression that almost seemed like it was cold.“Master Caster taught me everything that I know, Aria. I owe him my loyalty and respect.”Aria nodded, and a smile appeared slowly on her face. “So you are willing to risk your life because of that?” She stared with disbelief etched on her face, and finally, she sighed heavily.“I don’t think I have seen so many noble men like yourself, Seven. The stories about you were never wrong.”Dante scoffed. “I never think of myself as noble. I just believe that I am willing to do everything it takes to get justice. Besides, I have a personal vendetta that I wish to accomplish.”“Oh…” Aria nodded,
