Looking for THE HEIRESS

Chapter 19 - Dante

Katherina's POV.

"What do you mean by business?" Sarah asked shakily. Seriously she is overreacting. She is terrified of Dante and this is her first time meeting him. Seriously what's wrong with her.

"Oh you know, the usual. Killing, selling drugs..." He said smirking at her. I can't believe him. He is definitely doing this on purpose. He likes when people are scared of him. Actually scared is such a small word, he likes them terrified. When I wanted to tell Sarah he was lying she fled past me to her bedroom and the next second I heard the door slam.

"You just had to do that." I said making it more like a statement than a question.

"She was a nuisance and I had to get rid of her somehow. Do you prefer me killing her over having her terrified?"

"Definitely no." I said trying to see if he is hiding anything from me. And soon enough he scratched his right ear. Yeah he is definitely hiding something from me.

"Now I just have to ask you this. WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING?!" He screamed at me. I know he is beyond pissed at me but hey we all make mistakes. Even tho I am not sure if all of this that happened was a mistake. I guess I'll find out soon enough.

"Please don't yell at me. I don't want to be deaf with eighteen years." I said in calm tone keeping my blank expression.

"Okay you want to know why I was screaming? Honestly I don't care who you fuck. I don't care if it's Marco De Luca or Alexander Ambrosi or even someone third. My problem is when Valdimir Smirnov calls me. Hell do you even know who that is? Do you have any idea what did you do. Do you know what are you causing?" He asked me angrily.

"Of course I know what am I doing. I am not an idiot." I said rolling my eyes at him. He is such a drama queen.

"No Katherina you have no idea what are you doing. You are involved with so many countries. I know you are making allies if things get out of hand, but you don't see that things are getting out of the hand because of those allies. You are representing yourself as Katherina Hart while you are keeping Katherina Gold under the carpet. You are making people suspicious of Katherina Hart. Do you even realise that?" He asked and I saw concern in his eyes. I know he loves me as his little sister even tho he would never admit that to anyone, not even to himself.

"I know everything. You don't have to tell me. But trust me on this." I said hoping he would understand.

"You are asking me to trust you. I don't think that you know what are you doing. It was already suspicious three years ago but I let it slide. Katherina Hart is not born with a silver spoon in her mouth and yet people who are at the top welcomed her with open arms. Every person who tried to become a part of society is turned down, humiliated and destroyed. By destroyed I mean big companies bought the shares for literally a dime and then there is Katherina Hart. No one knows who she is or anything about her but she is welcomed with open arms. You have on your side two wealthiest businessmans or should I say investors from Japan who gave you the deal the moment they saw you, th-"

"But I-" I started saying but he interrupted me.

"Don't interrupt me when I am talking. Now where was I? Oh yeah. You have those Germans on your side. The media loves you. The word about you having the same power as Christopher Gold spread around. Then there are people who are currently in Manchester trying to get information about you from people who went in high school with you. You literally have billions of enemies and I have to clear them all for you. And then there is Valdimir Smirnov. Do you have any idea who he is. He is a fucking Russian. How the hell did you get involved with them? I think this is going to be an interesting story or I may be wrong." He said glaring at me. If the looks could kill I would already be under the ground, but luckily they can't.

"Firstly I know who Valdimir Smirnov is. Secondly I am not that crazy to get involved with Russians, even worse to be involved with Smirnov and his people. No one knows how Smirnov looks. But the word goes if you look him in the eye or even tell anything against his word there will be a hole between your eyes." I said getting goose bumps all over my body.

"Nulla regula sine exceptione." Dante said smirking.

"Latin. Interesting. I never knew you learned the language. But seriously? Every rule has exception. I know that. The only person or should I say people who saw his face are dead. He likes when his victims see the face. He likes, no he loves when they can put a face to the name they heard." I said finding this amusing. I don't know why. I should probably be terrified but surprisingly I am not.

"Exactly Katherina. Do you know what he said? He said send my greetings to Katherina Hart or should I say Goldy. And then he hung up. I don't want to be associated with him and then you get associated with him. The question now is To be or not to be ?"

"Seriously Hamlet? For your information I am now interested about this guy Valdimir Smirnov. He sounds promising. Don't you think that?" I asked him smirking.

"I was asking about revenge not about Valdimir."

"Seriously? I can't believe you are asking me that. After everything you want me to let them walk around freely, like nothing happened? You are a fucking mafia. You first should be on my side. God now you sound like my dearest daddy." I said snapping at him.

"You know I'll be with you every step of the way, but Katherina you are not mafia. You are a ball of sunshine when you are happy. This is not you. You are looking the world from the wrong side. In our relationship whatever it is friendship or just business you are the light why I am the dark. If both of us are on the dark side who is going to save us from ourselves?" He asked. Damn him I know he is right, but I can't. The world I am currently living is a dark place.

"Dante we are family and you know that. You are like my brother. And I am still the same. I just have some priorities on the top of my list." I said smiling, but deep down I know I was lying. There won't be coming back after this.

"I trust you, but please don't try to find Smirnov. I don't want you dead."

"Who says I am going to die?"

"You are a hot headed person. First thing you do would be looking him in the eyes then arguing with him."

"Okay, okay I promise."
