I looked at her possessively before grabbing her by the nape of her neck and pulling her closer to me, our lips a breath away.
"You are mine. Only mine. Understand?" I gritted out and she nodded slowly.
"Good. Because I'll fucking kill any man who l...

I watched the car leave the estate's gates when Dove waved at me as she hung out of the car's window and shouted she loved me.
I shook my head chuckling and the men around me also chuckled as my face heated up.
"Aw, are you blushing?" Jake cooed from behind me when I scowled and gave him a look that had everyone shutting their mouths.
So what if I'm blushing?
Fucking idiots, they're just jealous that I have someone to love and they don't.
"Your girl's crazy." Stuart said to me as he stood beside me when I hummed in response before going back inside to my office.
I saw Jake smoking when I walked into the office and my mood changed instantly as I glared at him, the smirk on his face was not hard to miss.
"So it turns out you girl is interested in me. She even called me handsome." Jake said grinning as I sat on my chair and heard a crack in my hands.
We all looked to my hand and saw I had cracked a pencil in half that was on my desk.
"That's going to be your neck next." I told Jake who gulped and looked away when Stuart snickered.
"Everything for the wedding ceremony done?" I asked Stuart after a while who nodded and looked at me thoughtfully for a while.
"Sputalo fuori." (Spit it out) I told him when he hesitated before speaking, sharing a glance with Jake.
"What are you thinking of for Dove?" He said and I let out another puff of smoke and looked at him indifferently.
"She wears my ring already. That speaks for itself other than the fact that she'll be my wife very soon." I said firmly and he nodded slowly.
"Any leads on Giovanni?" I asked Jake who shook his head.
"It's like he's disappeared all over again. Did Dove have any other nightmares?" He asked in concern that didn't seem to settle very well with me as I stayed silent for a moment before telling them the two dreams till now.
"We might be able to look for the place since she described it, and the housekeeper's name helps too." Jake said and started typing on his iPad.
Stuart and I discussed the security details of the ceremony and the guest list, not noticing how much time had passed and we were discussing plans to catch Giovanni when my phone rang.
I ignored it and turned it off only for it to ring again a few moments later when glanced at the screen, frowning at Valentino's name flashing on it.
I picked it and put it on speaker when suddenly a loud bang was heard and I shot out of my seat.
