He sank against my body and I welcomed him, tossing a leg over his.

He couldn’t be deeper, yet I needed him deeper.

“I love you,” I chanted with stuttered breaths as he kept pounding into me, knocking my breath out of my lugs with each thrust, and it was only when he came as violently as I did, spurting and warm inside me did he reply me.

“I love you too.”

Chapter 42

Dante

Istoodfacetoface with Isabella, my stepmother, in the open field in a desolate area.

Giuseppe stood bound and guarded by Vito and Kramaric, his eyes filled with a mix of anger and resignation.

It was odd to see my stepmother again after confirming her treachery.

I didn’t know how to reconcile the woman who had raised me and had taken care of me with the woman who had betrayed me.

I could sense the tension in the air as Isabella began to speak, her voice laced with bitterness and a desire for vengeance.

"So, Dante," Isabella's voice cut through the silence, "do you finally understand the pain and betrayal I've endured all these years? Your father took away the man I loved and forced me into a loveless marriage. I vowed that one day, I would tear down this legacy of yours and give it to my son."

Her words hit me like a punch to the gut, a mix of anger and disbelief swirling within me.

"I don’t know what happened. I don’t know who’s telling the truth or not. You’ve already killed my father by poisoning him. However, I will not let you destroy everything I worked for in pursuit of revenge."

Isabella's eyes narrowed, her voice dripping with venom.

"You think your precious Cortini loyalty will save you? It's all a facade, Dante. Your loyalty blinds you to the truth. You're just like your father, willing to sacrifice anyone for power."

I felt a surge of rage, but I knew I had to keep my composure.

"Isabella, I won't deny the pain you've endured, but your vendetta ends here. The two of you will face the consequences of your betrayal.”

As I spoke those words, I could see the defiance in Isabella's eyes waver, a flicker of fear creeping in.

I knew the road ahead would be fraught with challenges, but I was resolute in my determination to protect my family and uphold our legacy.

As I stood there, resolute in my decision to take revenge on Giuseppe for his betrayal, a sudden commotion erupted in the area.

There were gunshots and men dressed in black appeared out of nowhere.

It was as if Isabella had unleashed chaos to create a diversion for their escape.

My two confidants and I darted out of sight and hid behind our vehicles while whipping out our guns and retaliating against the attackers.

During the confusion, Isabella and Giuseppe slipped away, leaving me with a mix of frustration and concealed satisfaction as Isabella's parting words lingered in the air.

"Enjoy your false victory, Dante. But remember, this is far from over. The game has just begun."

As soon as they were safe to escape, hurrying into the vehicle my stepmother had brought, the attackers drew away, running back into their vehicles and following after them.

I, Kramaric, and Vito slowly stood up.

I smirked.

Isabella and Giuseppe believed they had outsmarted me, little did they know that I had anticipated their plan all along.
