- What's with that crazy girl?! That girl is literally crazy, she's a stalker! What did you tell her?!
- How can you expect me to marry her? She's crazy…
His face changes. He looks at me quietly and I know exactly what he is going to say.
- So you are using...
I look at him seriously.
- We have made a deal Dante, she has accepted it. Her freedom is all she wants.
- Obviously it will only be a farce, right?
I tilt the smile.
- What, do you see me looking like I want to suffer? - I make fun of it.
- Why her? - he asks.
I frown.
- Why not her? No one knows her so it's easier when I let her go...
- Will you let her go?!
- What do you think I'm going to do with her?
Silence floods the place. Dante tries to assimilate everything until he nods.
- Changing the subject... - helooks at me - News...?
I furrow an eyebrow.
- You know who I'm talking about Frank - he says irritated.
Obviously I know who you are talking about and I really hate to bring it up.
- We have a lot of problems with that guy. You know perfectly well that this motherfucker wants to be at the head of the organization and doesn't give a shit if he's going to have to kill me to achieve his end. I don't want to see him at the gala tonight, Dante.
- Be careful with the girl Frank, you know that man is crazy and his reaction will not be at all calm when he finds out that the leader has a fiancée. That will change all his plans...
- And he won't find out. My commitment will only last until Jakob's sister accepts once and for all that I don't want her around.
- You have enough enemies Frank, your life is in great danger...
- My life is not in danger Dante, none of those losers can get close to me. Except for that manic bastard, his power is growing little by little, he wants to outdo us in this and I don't intend to let him. I must think things through and always keep my movements on the alert.
The dark haired dude laughs discreetly while drinking his glass of wine. To think that Dante is my best friend and most faithful partner is a relief to me. Dante is the guy I can trust with my life, during all the years he has served me he has proven to be a true friend, a faithful advisor and a fucking headache.
Without further ado, I lift my body from the chair and turn around towards the exit. I just want to go take a long shower and keep sleeping. But for now the sleeping has to wait as I have to go buy the engagement ring and choose something sexy and daring for Grace. I admit that girl is truly beautiful. If it weren't for Dante, I would still be caressing her soft skin right now.
- Well, you can go now - I'll inform everyone.
- Frank - he stops me, I turn around in exhaustion.
- Now what? - I let out a sigh trying to decipher Dante's grimace.
- The mafia demands an heir...
