POTERE AMORE (Mafia Romance) 18+

Chapter fifteen

Annetta's POV

After yet another long drive, we finally reached our destination and boy was I fucking elated. When we reached the estate grounds, I realised that I never felt so happy. Although this estate was not really my home, my heart was filled with content because my family resided here. Trapped under Fabio's hostage for many days made me appreciate my mom and my sister a little more than before, I wanted to see them right away.

When we reached the estate, I inspect it even though I was familiar with the fat place. It was no longer decorated like how it was nearly two weeks ago, when Fabio forced me to marry him. By far, the worst day of my entire existence. A sigh rushed out of my lips when I step out, only to be bombarded immediately with Fabio's unpleasant presence.

I grumble as I frustratedly leave the vehicle, and yet again he was invading my personal space. Fabio watched me for a short while when he caught on with my frustration and yet, he didn't think to back off, instead my frustration only grew when he grasps my arm and pulled me closer to his chest.

"Do not cause a commotion right in front of your mother or your sister. We're going straight up to the office, Dante wants to see you."

I glance at him and feel my breath halting for a second, my body tensed under his spiteful hold. I felt my throat tickle while I blink at him, Fabio glares at me.

"Did you tell him?"

"Why don't you find out?" He spat at me before he pushed me out of the way, more towards the estate entrance. I stumble over my feet as I try to keep up but Fabio continued to walk faster than me. Eventually, when we actually entered the estate, I managed to push him away from me and when I did, I glare at him. I fix my clothes as Fabio creased it under his fistful hold and walk beside him as we climbed the stairs. Not a single sight of a person was seen but maybe it was because of the fact that it was in the evening, late evening and everyone was probably in their rooms or out.

When we reached the designated floor, silence surrounds us. This reminded me of the last time I was here, when I was stealing from them. My feet tingle in my shoes as my nerves began to bundle up in my stomach, even if Dante did find out, it didn't intimidate me as much because for some reason, I felt as though Fabio did not tell him just yet.

Fabio pushed open the door and I released a sigh, my stomach turns as I follow him inside and once I was in, Fabio closes the door. Fabio glares at me like he always does but I dismiss him when Dante caught my attention, suddenly I was sweating.

By the first glimpse, Dante didn't seem pleased to see me nevertheless, I remained calm and collected. He jaw locks as both his hands were buried deep in his pockets. His chest expands when he inhaled a deep breath and then released it. I blink at him for a moment, and then Fabio joins us, even though I was shitting it, I still remained calm.

"Although I should not allow you in my estate, I decided to push my grudges aside and let bygones be bygones."

For a second, my eyes widened. My heart dropped and I gulp but still, I didn't speak a word instead, kept calm and composed. I felt Fabio's obnoxious presence next to me, and I've never felt so incapable of wanting to do something so bad. Kill him.

"I..I can..explain..." I managed to say,

"That's not necessary," Dante cut in, "if it weren't for Fabio, you'd be actually dead."

"What do you mean?"

"Fabio informed me about your acknowledgement of Mario's treachery." He says, "And why you didn't inform us."
