Dante’s POV.
My fingers drummed against the dark Oak table of my study. The clock ticking away the minute of the night
began to irritatebeyond belief. The leather chair | was seated in for the past few hours felt like it stored
every ounce of heat that it could find but every thing aroundseemed to work on my last nerve right now.
In truth, it was not the loud ticking of the clock neither had it been the heat. None of those things were
responsible for my foul mood at present. All I could think about was how head strong Sophia was. Adamant to
stand her ground despite how much her own lust filled her eyes.
| couldn’t place my finger on when she had becso fiesty but it had only served to send my desire for her
through the roof. There was something about her that awoke a dangerous side of my carnal need. It was the very
reason | couldn't resist her in the years that we had been married even though our relationship was more for
convenience than any thing else.
The mere sight of her sent my blood stirring and all | wanted to do was to make that fiesty spark in her eyes fade
away as the waves of passion ripped through that b*dy of hers. That b*dy of hers had becso much more
fuller and it was something that managed to make my pants feel tight.
Da mn it.
| adjusted myself in my seat. This was insanity. No women had ever managed to makefeel like an adolescent
barely out of puberty but sthing about Sophia had becmy own personal strain of carnal fueling.
Ever since that night | went to her house to make sure that she had been fine, | was burdened with this
unsatiated discomfort that | knew only having her beneath me, releasing it with her b*dy, was going to ease.
| couldn’t understand why she was so afraid of Pheobe. The two of them never ever got along when they lived
under one roof but she never feared her until now. Pheobe was a lot but Sophia could easily take her.

| needed to stop thinking about her. | pulled out my phone then scrolled through my notifications. to find an
email from Frederick. His newest assigned task fromwas to investigate who had been behind that attack the
night | drove Sophia hfrom the restaurant.
So far, aside from knowing that the vehicle was unregistered and stolen, Frederick hadn't stumbled on any thing
of note but | was not going to give up until | knew who the culprit was behind it. Had they been afteror
Sophia? | couldn't understand why any one would be after the both of us together.
The sound of movement just put side the door of my study snappedout of my thoughts immediately. The
door opened and | didn’t have to guess who it would be since | knew Pheobe was swhere around the house
this evening.
She walked in all heeled up and dressed in a fluffy silk night gown. Her presence instantly hadclenching my
jaw without any control. After her deceitful tactic, | no longer had it into put up with her over bearing

“Dante, darling, it's so late. | had to look around the entire house to find you.” Her tone was one that | knew well
by now.
Pheobe walked closer to the desk before hopping on to the edge closest to me. She ran her bare foot from my
ankle to my knee and before she could go any further, | pushed myself away from her.
“You are so tensed these days and after that unfortunate car crash. | feel like you do not have any tfor me.”
She complained sticking her lower I*p out like a child to gain my sympathy and to guiltin to a shopping trip.
| didn’t say a word mostly because | didn’t want to speak to her at all but she was not one to give up so easily
especially since she was unaware that | knew of her deception.
In another attempt to gain my attention, she moved between my parted thighs, propped her hands. on her arm
rest of my chair and leaned forward so | could get a full glimpse of her crea my skin but it absolutely nothing
because she was not the woman | wanted. She never was. | just thought that she was in my foolishness.
“How about | relieve sof your stress. She looked atthrough heavy eyes as she lowered herself on to her
knees but | pushed my chair away from her before her hand could touch mynbelr buckle.
Her face immediately becfurious. Pheobe rose to her full length. “What is going on with you lately, Dante? |
try to get close to you and you pushaway. | want to make you feel better but you are so cold!” She yelled at
| stood up abruptly from my chair sending it clashing with the wall behind me. | towered over her and looked
down at her with the sanger she felt for me. | saw the confusion in her eyes but once she knew why | was
this was with her, she would lose all footing to show any form of anger.
“You really want to know what's going on? Fine, letenlighten you about what | had recently discovered.” She
stood her arrogant ground and didn’t back down but she would once I tell her about her own deceit.
“You and your mother have been lying tofor years, haven't you?” | spat out roughly and she blinked but still
managed to keep her hairy expression of hers.
“What the hell are you talking about?” Her tone was high pitched, a tell tale that she was guilty.
“About you being the one that savesfrom drowning all those years ago.” And there it was. Phoebe’s face
soured like she had just bit in to a lemon seed.
“It was Sophia who saved me. Not you. Yet you and your mother held it over my head like a debt that | was
obligated to pay back, My fury bubbles beneath my skin now that | saw the look on her face proving that she was
guilty.
But Pheobe was Pheobe and she would never admit to even though she was visibly guilty. She swallowed audibly
and her I*ps trembled.
“Sophia. She is the one who poisoned your mind against me! It all makes sense now. Of course, she would feed
your lies. She always wanted you, she was always jealous about our relationship! You

know this and yet you still-"
| cut off her tantrum with a deep laugh. “Only thing is, she didn’t tellany thing.” | said loving the way nostril
flared at being put in a corner. The only excuse she had to escape this had backfired on
her.
“Then how do you know?” And there it was.
“Does not matter but | want you out of my house before the end of this week. Gives your plenty tto arrange
other lodgings.” | muttered but she gasped loudly, her eyes widening the size of
saucers.
“Dante, you- you can’t do this to me. Please. | only lied because | loved you since we were young and | didn’t
know how else to make you see me.” Her voice shook and her I*ps quivered but her unshed tears meant nothing
toany more.
“Lying wasn’t the way to go about it.” | couldn't bare to be around her any longer so | stormed out of the room
ignoring the many words she calledas | left.
The minute | stepped out of the study and away from Pheobe, it felt like a weight had been listen away from my
shoulders. It felt freeing to know that she, along with her entire family, was out of
life now and | wanted nothing more than to keep it that way.
