After a long day of work, Riviana Manici opens the door to her shared apartment,only to be met with a unpleasant surprise.Unfamiliar shoes and clothes scattered on floor leading to her bedroom door.The sounds of a female giggling and her boyfriend's...

Dante's P.O.V
A week later.........
I sighed sitting in my home office,I didn't know what to do.I've been so busy purchasing properties to store my drugs and guns,I don't even remember the last time I slept.Lorenzo was on my ass about being the new mafia boss.
I ruffled my hair and looked at the laptop screen in front of me.It was 4:00 in the morning and I was sitting there doing nothing although I was hungry and tired.
Maybe I should get some sleep?But what if I bump into her?I've been trying to avoid her but why?
I got up from my chair and walked towards the door.I need to sleep,I'm exhausted.
I opened my office door and walked out,up the stairs and to my bedroom.As I opened my bedroom door I felt someone tugging my shirt softly.Was it Lily?I turned to look at Riviana.
"What?"I looked at her with my sleepy eyes my hand still on the doorknob.
"Can I go out today?"She asked batting her eyes at me.I paused for a minute looking at her facial features.I couldn't deny how beautiful she was.
"At 4:00 in the morning?No."I pulled her hand off my shirt and walked into my room.
"Not now,later?"She said standing by the door.I looked down at her black and white satin pyjamas.
Stop checking her out Dante!
"My answer is still no."I closed the door on her and walked to my bed.I laid down and looked at the small sliver chandelier dangling above me slowly falling asleep.

After I got dressed and sprayed on my cologne, I walked out my bedroom to the kitchen to get my black coffee.
She was there talking to Mary,my personal chef .I walked to the coffee machine and poured some coffee into my mug."Morning."I grumbled to Maria and she looked at me with a disapproving frown.
"What?"I asked her,She was like the mother I didn't have.Always talking about my health.
"No breakfast?I cooked up your favourite."She said.
"No time."I pointed to my watch and walked to the front door.I felt Riviana's eyes on as I walked out the door.
I walked towards the car and sat in the passengers seat,he nodded.
Mr.Gray sat down in the driver's seat and I sat beside him silently.
....................
I walked into the new property I brought for storage."Sir everything is secure."Gabriel,my assistant greeted me at the door nervously.
"Doesn't sound like it." I walked to my office to find Lorenzo sitting in my seat.
"Welcome back Step-brother,do I have to put another bullet through you so you could disappear again?"I walked to my seat and he got up.
"Have mercy on me,I have a family now."He put his hands up in mock surrender."I just wanted to see my wonderful brother."He sneered.I already sensed something wrong.
"Stop beating around the bush,what do you want?"
"To be new mafia boss,why else would come here."He slid his hand on along my desk.
"Pfft!Do you really think father would let you naive ass take control?"
"Yes!He would cause I continue the legacy of this family,you don't even have a wife,pathetic.He defended himself.
"Who said I didn't?Pathetic?At least I have respect for women and don't beat them."I glared at him and he glared back.
"You little motherfucker."He pulled out his gun and pointed it to me.
I chuckled."How childish,pulling your gun out because of a little insult."I stood up and walked towards him.
I pushed him out."Don't do something you'll regret."I was about to close the door on him. "Oh and your gun is still on safety."
I walked back over to my desk and sat down.I really need to get more bodyguards.I looked at the black laptop screen,I looked at my reflection.My eyes half-lidded,I rose my chin looking at the long old scar along my neck.Lily would visit for the weekend,I let her see it.
..................
I yawned as Mr.Gray woke me up.I must have been really tired to have fallen asleep in the car. I thanked Mr.Gray and walked into my mansion.
I opened the door to my home office and walked to my seat."Why are you here?" I looked at Lorenzo who was standing beside the door thinking i did see him.
He didn't say anything and sudden shot my in the shoulder making me fall off my chair.He walked towards me.I put out my gun but missed his head.He kicked my hand throwing the gun across the room by the door.
"Did you think you could get away with embarrassing me like that?"He shouted at me and pointed the gun to the same shoulder that was bleeding out.
"How petty."I grumbled and he shot the framed picture of my mother on my desk making the glass shattered.That was the only picture I had of her.I braced against the wall and pressed a button in my pocket to alert Carlos.
"After I kill you I'll lead the mafia."He smirked and looked down at me as I tried to stop the blood from gushing out my shoulder.
He was about to shoot me in the head but collapsed onto the with a bullet through his torso.
Then I saw her standing there with terrified look on her face and trembling hands on my gun.Carlos ran in and looked at me then at Lorenzo who was laying on the floor.
"Fuck."He groaned in pain and tried to get up but failed.
I chuckled."That's what you get for ruining my expensive white shirt,dumbass."I got up holding my bleeding shoulder.
Riviana dropped the gun and looked at me in shock.She stood frozen with terror on her face. "Get used to seeing blood,sweetheart."I said as Carlos called my private doctor and help me to my room.
