He studied me for a moment before smirking. “Ah, now I see why there’s a bounty on this beautiful face, huh?”
I frowned in confusion “Bounty?”
The old man chuckled at my reaction. “Oh, looks like your husband didn’t tell you yer.”

He suddenly grabbed my cheek harshly, his nails digging into my skin. “Let me do the honors, then. I’m do a billion–dollar bounty on your head.”
My eyes widened. A bounty on me? There was only one person who could have done this.
Father.
“When I’m done with you. I’ll hand you over to them and collect the money,” he said with a cruel laugh.

1 snapped out of my thoughts when I heard the bathroom door open.
He stepped out, wearing nothing but a towel, water dripping from his hair and tracing slow paths down his sculpted chest. My breath hitched. It didn’t matter how many times I had seen him like this he still left me speechless every time.
My heart pounded, heat creeping up my skin as my eyes trailed over him. The way his muscles flexed with every step, the sharp angles of his jaw, the way droplets clung to his skin it was almost too much.
I swallowed hard, my throat suddenly feeling dry. I don’t know why but i don’t hate him having this effect on me.
“You should be careful where you set

t my lip, unable to look away. His presence was overpowering, drawing me in like gravity itself.
“I don’t need to be careful when it’s my own husband I’m looking at,” I murmured, the words slipping out before I could stop them.
Heat rushed to my face as I realized what I had just said. His smirk deepened, eyes darkening with something unreadable, making my heart pound even harder. Next thing I knew, he was right in front of me.
“It seems you weren’t sailed enough with what we shared in the bathroom,” he murmured, his voice dripping with amusement.
My breath hitched. I quickly looked away, but the heat spreading through my body betrayed me. The memory of his mouth on me, the way he made me shiver beneath him, making my pulse spike.
“Do you want me to remind you?” His voice dropped lower, teasing, wicked “How you canse undone in my mouth, shivering screaming my
Pervert.
How could he say something so filthy with a straight face! My heart pounded in humiliation as I shoves his chest, trying to push him away.
He leaned down until his lips were just inches from mine. “Cat got your tongue, amore?”
“Get away from me, you pervert!” I shrieked, dying of embarrassment, my checks burning as his smirk only grew wider.
Suddenly the rumbling noise of my stomach echoed in the heated moment.

kill me now. I wished I could dig a hole in the ground and disappear forever.
Silence hung between us for a second then I heard it. A deep, rich laugh rumbled from his chest. I perked up hesitantly, only to find his dark eyes locked onto me, amusement dancing in then “Hungry, amore?” he teased, his smirk widening.
I was indeed hungry. Its felt like i haven’t eaten anything in age. I looked at my stomach and then back at him.
Dante stood up and disappeared into his closet. When he returned, he was dressed in a crisp white shirt and black pants, effortlessly elegant yet intimidating.
“Are you going out!” I waited for him to reply as he grabbed his coor and suddenly, he started walking toward me, his presence was very overwhelming to me.
“What do you want to eat?” he asked
“ubur
Before I could answer, he scooped me up into his arms.
1 gasped. “W–what? Where are you taking me?” Panic flared in my voice as I clung to his shoulders. He shot the an unimpressed look, his face blank with irritation. “Do you think I’m your servant? You expect to be fed in bed like a spoiled princess!” His voice was flat, unimpressed.
I rolled my eyes at him. Of course, he had to be dramatic.
His grip suddenly tightened around my waist. “Don’t roll your eyes at me, amore,” he warned, his voice low.
Is he on his man’s period? Why the mood swings?
Tell me quickly. I don’t have time,” he said as he gently placed me on the sofa in the dining hall. Then, without another word, he turned and walked toward the kitchen. That’s when I realized we were back in his mansion.
1 shook off my thoughts. I think I’ll have something heavy. I’m starving What did Miss Milly make for lunch!” I asked, curious.
He didn’t even turn back as he responded, “Wait twenty minutes. I will cook something
My eyes widened. Wait.. does he mean he’s going to cook?
Dante Romano can cook?
A strange emotion stirred in my chest. No one had ever cooked for me before. My mother had died when I was too young to remember the taste of her food. My father had only known how to beat me, train me never care for me.
And here was a feared Mafia boss, a man everyone trembled, my husband willing to personally make me a meal, even when he is getting late?
My heart faltered, an unfamiliar warmth spreading inside me. I quickly suppressed the strange feeling twisting in my stomach.
I randomly took one of the magazine from the table and shove it in my face hiding the red tint. Why he have this much effect on me? Why these day he can easily make me feel things?
Shaking my head i open the magazine but to my surprise it seems to be a report. It had something mention about the attack on Dante. There were things written about Drago and russian mafia. It had some images with people who brutally beaten up to the point that there faces wasn’t even recognised
Something click in mind making my eyes widen. Was this about the same attack which happen on Dante that night? was it caused by Mathew Marco drago!
