55: Transfer Of Aggression
Giulia drove into the office premises and stopped at the center of the compound. She couldn't even drive to the parking lot.She walked down from the car and headed towards the building, ignoring the greetings of the security men.She was not in a good mood at all. Dante's disappearance had messed up her mind. Even the slightest joke would offend her at this moment.Walking into the lobby room, as usual, it went silent. Everyone cooperated. This was the same room; she could hear their conversation while at the entrance."Good morning, boss.""Good morning, boss.""Good morning, Ms. Edward."Their voices echoed as they greeted her. Nonetheless, Giulia didn't respond to anyone nor look them in the face.Her concentration was focused on the elevator, which she would ascend to her office with.Immediately the elevator lifted Giulia up, the staff began murmuring."At this point, I think she needs help," said the receptionist, Benita."Yes, you're right. She's definitely going through a lot
54: Where Is Dante?
Dante was on a morning stroll in the street when he came across a mentally unstable man sitting by the roadside.From the way he was seated, one could easily tell he was famished at first sight.Dante wanted to ignore and continue his exercise, but something inside of him held him back."Help him," his instincts told him.He walked over to him and stared at him for some seconds.With the ability to read minds, which he recently unlocked from the heirloom book from the box Armani gave him, he was able to see everything about the man and how he ended up in such a situation."Bruce?" he called, and the man responded. He raised his head to look at him before dropping it.Dante shook his head out of pity, realizing how the man ended up in the situation."Truly the world is wicked," he said in his thoughts.Ten years ago, Bruce had gone for a job interview alongside his best friend after having just graduated from university.However, it turns out his friend wasn't chosen after the intervie
53: A Ritual Box
"Why didn't you come as we discussed? "Giulia questioned her husband after settling down.She had just returned from work, and as usual, Dante had taken care of all the activities at home."Before we talk about that, how was the meal?" he asked, his expression laced with curiosity.He had prepared this meal especially for her, so she was curious if she enjoyed it since it wasn't something they typically ate in Milan.The food was from Bari's culture, bought specifically for her."Of course, I loved it," she confessed."But what was it? I don't think I've tasted it before."Dante chuckled. "No worries, soon you'll know what it's called and which culture it belongs to."Giulia sighed angrily. "You didn't just ask me this to leave me curious, did you?"Dante chuckled and replied, "I'm sorry about that.""Anyways, why didn't you come to my office as we discussed earlier today?""Really? Didn't they tell you?" Dante was surprised."Of course, I came but was drove away," he explained.Giuli
52: Errand Boy
Inside Anita's room, Theodore was comforting her."Are you still thinking about that?" he asked.Anita sighed."Why wouldn't I?" she responded, her voice weak."Never in my thoughts did I imagine he would escape this, but look where we are now."Theodore let out a wry smile. "That doesn't mean that all hope is lost," he said, bringing Anita to his lap, comforting her."What other hope remains?" Anita asked, withdrawing from his lap to look him in the face."What have I not done? What else remains to do to be able to set him up?"Theodore exhaled a deep sigh, pausing for a moment."To be honest, I never thought he would escape from this as well," he confessed, shaking his head dismissively in disappointment."Well," he sighed. "Just don't take it to heart. We'll find an alternative way to deal with him soon.""But first, we have to dissolve the tension," he suggested."That way, no one would suspect we haven't stopped."Hearing this, Anita looked at him, a feigned smile creeping on her
51: I Forgive Them
"Father, why would there be a meeting in my absence?" Richard was visibly angry, especially at his father, Vittorio Santoro.He had traveled to a place known only to him and his family, where he had spent the week.Although he didn't disclose his destination to his father, isn't he supposed to inform him beforehand of any meeting before it commences?Richard was the second son of Mr. Santoro after Giulia's father."Your family is in a better position to answer that question, Richard," Santoro remarked, a smirk on his lips."Anyways, the latest development now is that your family is no longer part of the Santoro family."Richard's face creased. "What is that supposed to mean, Father?"He wanted to raise his voice at his father but was cut short by his mother."This is not the time for that, Richard," she said. "You should be begging your father for mercy because Anita and her brother did the unthinkable," Agnes whispered to him.Hearing this, Richard's anger melted right away.He calml
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.<
