The Heiress' Re Chapter 58

Chapter 58: Chapter 58

A R I A N A

I stared at myself in the big bathroom mirror my face was pale and my eyes were red from crying, there’s a small cut was on my lip.

I looked broken.

Dante had brought

ho he had not said one word to

in the car he just held my hand so tight it almost hurt.

His face was like stone.

He led

straight to the bathroom. "Take a shower," he said, his voice flat then he turned and walked out, closing the door behind him.

That was it.

No comfort.

No soft words.

Just a cold, hard command.

I was scared I knew he was angry but his silence was worse than any yelling.

I should have listened to him, if only I had followed the driver back ho then the situation wouldn’t have reached as it is.

I passed by his office making sure he doesn’t see , I should have gone to his office and waited for him but I didn’t and I so badly regret it.

I got in the shower the hot water stung my skin. I tried to wash away the feeling of those n’s hands on

as I broke down into sobs.

I was almost raped by 3 n it it wasn’t for Dante and Antoine... I really fucked up this ti.

What if Dante hadn’t co? What if sothing worse had happened to ? The thought made

feel sick.

I got out of the shower and wrapped a big towel around myself my whole body was shaking.

I took a deep breath and opened the bathroom door.

Dante was sitting on the edge of the bed he was on the phone his voice was low and angry, but not at

he was talking to soone about the n from the alley.

"...find them all I do not care what it takes. I want them found," he was saying his voice was so cold it made

shiver.

He ended the call and threw his phone on the bed he saw

standing there in my towel, his eyes looked dark and full of a storm.

He didn’t say anything.

He just stood up and started walking toward the closet, like he was going to get changed and ignore .

"Dante?" I said, my voice small and shaky.

He kept walking he didn’t even look at .

My heart sank.

The fear and the hurt were too much.

"Please," I whispered, my voice breaking. "Please talk to ."

But he just walked into the closet and closed the door, leaving

alone in the, cold, scared, and more alone than I had ever felt.

The closet door opened after a few minutes Dante walked out dressed in clean, dark pants and a simple shirt his hair was still a little wet.

He did not look at .

He walked straight toward the bedroom door, his steps hard and quick.

He brushed right past

as though I was a ghost.

The silence was breaking

and I hated it I wanted to know what was going on in his head.

"I am sorry!" I said, my voice shaking the words just fell out again I just wanted him to talk to

"I only wanted to finish the work I wanted to do a good job for you I did not know I would get into trouble I am so sorry, Dante Please, just talk to ."

He did not stop.

He did not turn around.

He just kept walking toward the door he was going to leave

in this room alone.

A sob burst out of .

Then another.

I could not hold it in anymore.

"Fine!" I cried, my voice loud and broken. "If you do not want to talk to ! If you hate

this much! Then you should have just left

with them! You should not have saved

Dante Russo! You should have let

die—-" the words stuck to my throat as he stopped moving.

His whole body went completely still the air in the room got cold.

Then, he turned around.

His face was not cold anymore it looked like he was hurt, as though I pushed a spear into his heart.

"What did you just say to ?" he asked his voice was quiet, but it was the scariest sound I had ever heard.

I was crying too hard to answer.

He walked back to

he did not run he walked slow, like a predator stopping right in front of .

I could feel the anger coming off him like heat.

"You think I saved you because I had to?" he asked, his voice getting louder. "You think I would let any man put his hands on you? You think I would let anyone hurt you?"

I tried to step back, but I hit the wall.

"You are MINE!" he shouted, the words exploding from him it sent shivers running down my spine. "Do you understand that? No one touches what is mine! No one hurts what is mine! What they did... it was like—-" he paused

He was yelling now his face was close to mine.

"And you tell

I should have left you with them?" he roared. "You tell

I should not have saved you? Can you even hear yourself? "

His voice cracked. For a second, I saw sothing else in his eyes. Not just anger. Pain.

"I have never been so scared in my life," he said, his voice dropping to a rough whisper. "Hearing you scream seeing them on you... It stopped my heart. I sent you ho Ariana cause I didn’t want you overworking yourself and you decided to bypass that staying late and I was at the office, you should have stopped by my office but no... you decided to—" he hissed rubbing on his temples.

"Dante I—"

He shut

up by claiming my lips.
