Our time together was always magical, but it all came crashing down when I discovered I was pregnant.
I was at a loss for what to do and feared that telling him would make him see me as a gold digger and ruin our relationship.
Naively, I decided to remove myself from his life, and even now, I wonder if it was the right choice.
I told all of this to Jessie, and at the end of my recount of what had transpired between myself and Dante, she gave me a pitiful look.
“You’re so gone for him.” She sighed with a small smile tugging on the corner of her lips.
I groaned and flopped my head on the edge of the couch's backrest.
I didn’t bother denying what she said.
It was true. With how Dante and I had been interacting while living in his house, it was clear that I still had feelings for the man.
Why did this have to be complicated?
Chapter 6
Dante
AsInavigatedthroughthe bustling conference room, I made sure to keep a keen eye out for potential business connections.
The annual tech conference for company founders and owners was always a highly anticipated event, and this year was no different.
The energy in the room was palpable, and I could feel the anticipation building within me as I scanned the faces of the attendees, searching for the right people to connect with.
Being a leading player in the tech industry, my company was highly sought after by other businesses.
While I took pride in our success, I was always selective when it came to potential partnerships and deals.
Quality over quantity was my motto, and I wasn't willing to compromise on that.
Accompanying me were Vito and a couple of my lawyers who specialized in tech-related deals.
Kramaric was more focused on the criminal aspect of my business, so even if I had invited him, he wouldn't have been much help at a conference like this.
He had a different skill set that was better suited to the Cortini's illegal dealings.
As we strolled through the conference, I overheard snippets of conversations about cutting-edge tech innovations, the latest funding rounds, and predictions for the future of the industry.
The electric atmosphere was tangible, and it sent a wave of excitement through me as I contemplated the endless possibilities.
I spotted a few familiar faces from previous conferences and events, and I made my way over to them to exchange pleasantries and catch up on their latest ventures.
But my main focus was on meeting new people who could bring fresh ideas and opportunities to the table.
I glanced over to my business partner Vito, who was also working in the room.
I trusted his judgment when it came to technology deals, so I let him handle that side of things while I sought out new contacts.
I made my way to a booth where a startup was showcasing its new virtual reality platform.
I tried on the headset and was transported to a digital world that felt almost real.
The possibilities for my own business flooded my mind, and I eagerly discussed potential partnerships with the startup's founders, but this was not what I wanted to attain.
As the day went on, I attended various talks and panels, taking notes and absorbing as much information as I could.
