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.<
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
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
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
