When they finished discussing in the restaurant, Yara drove Dante back to his house and dropped him in front while she drove off.Immediately Dante stepped into the house, he was greeted by the house keeper, Nita“Mr. Dante!” she shouted, it was exactly seven months since the police showed up to search the house and ever since then she hadn’t seen him.“How are you doing Nita?” Dante asked “I’m very well, thank you. Miss Audrey didn’t say you would be coming today” she asked confused “Yes, no one believed I would be out of prison” he muttered to himself“Huh?” Nita asked due to the fact that she didn’t hear what Dante had said“I returned yesterday, seem like you had the day off.”“Oh, yes I did” she replied with a smile “Where is Isabella and Tessy?” Dante asked about his daughters “Tessy is at her ballet school and Isabella is asleep upstairs”“Okay” Dante said walking up to see his daughterWhen he entered the room, the little girl was sleeping soundly on the bed, he gently kis
Inside the burning house, thick smoke filled Dante’s lungs as he ran up the stairs, the fire blocked him but he managed to navigate himself to Isabella room. The smoke blurred his vision even more when he got to Isabella room, he scanned the room in a bid to find the little girl, her bed sheet was already burning. “Isabella! Bella? Isabella is daddy where are you baby?” he called out her name as he coughed hardly and struggled to breath When she didn’t respond, he made a strong decision to leave her and get the money in the briefcase instead, he ran to the other room, luckily for him, the contract document paper was still there on the table, where he had left it, the fire hadn’t engulfed it yet, so he quickly put it into his pocket and took the briefcase of money along with him, he had succeeded in getting the document and the cash but his daughter was still somewhere in the burning house. Dante struggled to see through the smoke, as he left the room, although he got the briefcase
In the hospital Dante was laying on the hospital bed subconscious when the doctor came to check up on him. Dante sustained little burns and his legs was dislocated. Audrey rushed into the room looking worried and nervous, on hearing the news, she had feared for her daughter most especially. "He is my husband. I am Audrey Willow-Xanros" she introduced herself "I know who you are, I watched an advert you were on" the doctor replied happily like he was seeing a celebrity, he didn't like that Audrey would stoop so low to marry a husband such as Dante Willow "You look more beautiful in person than on social media, I even-" "How is my husband?" Audrey asked interrupting him, that was the most important to her at that point even though her career was as well important to her The doctor almost rolled his eyes then he went back to being professional-in his doctor mood and not a fan mood "He is in a stable state now, little burns and-I believe your husband had amnesia right?" "Had? Li
The sun rays reflecting from outside the window made Dante shut his eyes again the moment he opened it, notwithstanding he opened it again. The softness of the mattress, the expensive blue silk curtains, the scent and humidity of the room blended well together that he figured it was probably a dream. With his elbow on the bed, he pushed himself up on the bed, to see himself in an unknown room realizing it wasn’t a dream.“What happening?” he asked loudly to himselfHe closed his eyes and remembered the man on suit calling him the heir to some sort of consortium and showing him the exact tattoo on his chest as a symbol. Immediately a memory came back to Dante…“I pledge my loyalty to the king, queen, bishop, knight and devotion to the pawns” little Dante muttered in front of a man that was holding a tattoo machine, it happened to be the happiest day of little Dante’s life.“Dante you are hereby sworn as the rook, to protect the king, the queen and their kingdom” the man drew the tatt
Howard still reminded silent looking at Dante who on the other hand was ignorant of how great his family is. It was a shame Dante had no memory or whatsoever that could help him understand why returning as the true heir to take his father’s position as a king was very important.“You keep this house. It was bought today with your name” Howard finally broke the silent between them as handed Dante back his phone “You were credited with Nine hundred million dollars earlier from your family consortium but in disguise is a fake alert from a lottery game just incase the bank tries to investigate"Dante was shocked, he wanted to ask how they did that, then he remembered the mafia where the ones involved in laundering money and investment schemes. “Ever since your father’s death, the Willomandra consortium, the chess Mob is falling apart…” Howard voice trailed, he didn’t just want to dish all the information to Dante, he didn’t want to tell him that his mother was their next target and immed
Dante was nervous looking down at the little girl who was in so much pains and losing a lot of her blood, although he had succeeded in stoping the open wound from bleeding profusely, the next thing he needed to do was to remove the iron which intact was the most painful part."This might hurt, but I want you to know that it takes only seven minutes for an object that passed through your stomach to burst the spleen and eventually kill""Are you a doctor?" The girl asked tiredly "No""Then how come?" the girl asked with the atom of strength left in her "Kid, I can't tell how I know that" Dante responded, hoping he doesn’t scare her from believing that he could the situation, he was shocked about what he said himself, he hadn't read anything about it, could it be true that he had medical skills before the amnesia.The onlookers that were initially skeptical of Dante abilities, watched in surprise as Dante skillfully removed the sharp iron from Geraldine's stomach slowly, making her org
Nurse Judy looked down on her clipboard and penned down something, while at it, an old woman ran into the hospital panicking and screaming “They said she was brought here!” She shouted loudly and panicking even more while other nurses tried to talk to her, tears rolled down the woman eyes. “Where is Geraldine, my grand daughter, she is dead…”“That old woman could die of a heart attack now thinking her granddaughter is dead, she doesn’t know a handsome man saved her life” the nurse said in a flirty tone looking straight at Dante eyes, he on the other hand was not composed to say anything but only smiled shyly, avoiding eye contact by looking at the name embroidered in her cloth. She walked away turning back time to time to blush at Dante.Dante watched her back, he admired her hair and her smile, she met with Geraldine’s Grandmother and tried to calm the old woman down, then she took her to meet Geraldine in the emergency room.As he stood there with his leg still in bad shape, he
“Ellie, you would regret soon” With almost teary eyes Dante turned around, everybody watched him limped out of the room, some with pity others with disdain.As Dante left, he thought Audrey his wife would follow after him but she didn’t, she choose her family over him. When he got to the hallway tears rolled down his eyes and he quickly cleaned it off. “I am rich I shouldn’t let all these things get to me” he whispered to himself, but still he didn’t toughen up, tears rolled from his eyes again. It was a moment of remembrance of every humiliations he had gone through.Still in the hospital a delivery man brought a box filled with chocolate treats, a wine and fresh flowers.“A delivery for Nurse Judy” he told the receptionist“Hold on a minute” she made a phone call and the next thing nurse Judy was at the reception.“I didn’t order this” Judy said “Yes ma’am. It has been paid for, you only have to receive it”“From who?”“The customer stayed anonymous, but we were asked to write a n
