Samantha Morettie, also known as Samantha Black is forced to let go of the love of her life when the ghost she was r...
I watched the beautiful brunette as she laid on the bed staring out into the abyss. My heart yearned for her and shared her pain. I knew the child she had carried was not mine, but it pained me to see her in a such a depressed state.
"It was a good idea to bring her back to London," Caterina whispered. "Being stuck in the Italian manor would only make her relive the moment."
"Did you know?" I asked my sister as I closed the door and let Samantha rest.
"I found out that same morning." Caterina bit her lip trying to hold back her tears as she spoke. "She was excited, Dante, and it was just stripped away from her. That bitch has to pay."
"She will," I assured her.
Although Samantha believed that she had a natural miscarriage, the doctor informed us that she had been poisoned which led to an induced miscarriage. Our first suspect was Loretta, but she told us that she had only taken the tea to Samantha, and it was Mariana who had prepared it.
"Stay with her while I take care of the traitor," I ordered, and Caterina nodded.
I stepped out of our London mansion and walked over to the garage where Tomas was already awaiting for me. He opened the door to the sleek, black Range Rover.
"How has our guest been acting?" I asked Tomas as he entered the car.
"She has been begging for your pardon, sir," Tomas replied and I could not hold back my scoff.
I rubbed my chin slowly as I held back my anger. My lips were pressed into a thin, hard line.
"She should've thought of that before messing with my family," I growled.
Tomas zoomed through the lonely roads until we arrived at a desolated warehouse. We stepped out of the vehicle and walked inside where are prisoner was. Tomas opened the door and turned on the lights. At the center of the abandoned warehouse was Mariana, the culprit behind Sam's miscarriage.
Her cries where muffled by the bandanna around her mouth. Despite her frightened state, she was unscathed. I had given my men direct orders to not harm her, for I would be the one to finish the job.
"Take off the muffle," I ordered Tomas and he did as told.
"Please sir, I didn't mean to, he threatened my son," the woman began to cry out and I pinched my nose, irritated by her whining.
I grabbed onto her chin in a forceful manner. Her salty tears soaked my hands. She look petrified as I stared at her right in the eye.
"Who told you to do this, huh?" I asked.
"S-Santos," she whimpered.
My frown grew as she revealed who was the mastermind behind Samantha's miscarriage. That asshole would surely pay. He had hurt my beloved and I do not let anyone live after they have laid a finger on my family.
"He kidnapped by s-son and force me to report to him any valuable information," Mariana explained. "When I overhead that the young mistress was pregnant, I assumed it was your child, so I told Santos. He wanted to inflict the same pain that he had to the Sokolovs and so he ordered me to position Ms Moretti's drink."
"You fucking murdering bitch!" I shouted as I threw a harsh slap at the betraying traitor.
She let out an agonizing shriek as my hand made contact with her cheek. Her once pale skin was now a vibrant red with my hand imprinted in it.
"I didn't want to do it, b-but he had my son," she cried out, pleading for my mercy. "Please sir, my loyalty lies with you. Please."
"Does your son have a father?" I asked coldly and this seemed to unexpected to the maid.
"Y-Yeah, why?"
I turned around and discreetly pulled out the gun hidden within my blazer. I lowered my gaze to the gun and smirked.
"Good," I replied. "I wouldn't want to leave him as an orphan."
I turned around and Mariana's eyes widened in fear as she realized what was about to happen.
"No, no, n-" Boom!
"Have someone clean this mess up," I instructed as I put my gun away and wiped the small splash of blood on my cheek.
"Yes sir," Tomas nodded before looking at me with a knowing expression. "We are going to go after him next, right?"
I nodded. "I will not let him live."
