Chapter 113: Chapter 113

Dante turned around seeing that, the three of them are behind him, he grabbed Shirley's hand.

We need to talk. He dragged her along the hallway, Sally is surprised, he is acting all calm since, but deep inside he is boiling.

Big bro!

Come on, let them be, I am sure, he wants to have an heart to heart talk with her.

What if he hunt her?

He is not going to hurt her. Dante pushed Shirley into the study, then lock the door behind him.

Dante, why are you mad?

What do you think you are doing? Showing up after a very long time and blackmailing your dad to betroth me to you. Do I look like some pieces of thing to you? That could be discard and pick at anytime? Do I look stupid? Probably you think I am that stupid eighteen years boy that is lusting after you? Shirley smiled. What's funny?

You can't get over me, you and I know that, you refuse every other woman because of me.

I... He part his lips, yet he couldn't say the words.

You see, you can't even say the words, you and I know that, you can't love another except me. Your heart and your body long for only me, only this woman in front of you.

In your dream.

Really? She asked then start taking off her clothes, Dante gasped for her, as she goes nude In front of him, her body is well build now, not like before, then she was growing everything that made her a woman but now, she is all grow, he closed his eyes then he felt her nude against him, he kissed her hungry when her lips meet his after some seconds he pushed her from himself.

Shit! He cursed as he closed his eyes. Shirley dress up and stop trying to seduce me, I really don't love you anymore, I only want to know the reason, you left. He compose himself, Shirley make her way to the couch then sit with her nude.

What are you doing? Aren't you going to dress up?

Didn't you hear dad's words? Let's see if your being with a woman will make you realize you are not gay and from the way your body is reacting, it only show one thing, that you are not gay.

Of cause, I am not gay. Shirley smiled, seeing him confess in frustration, then his mind flash to Barbara, he imagine that, she could go nude in front of him.

What are you thinking? She move closer to him, running her hand on his lips.

Barbara, stop torturing me. He pinned his lips together, Shirley slapped him, as she hit him, yet she hold her tears from falling, she is the one nude in front of him, yet he is thinking about another girl, her heartache, so many years, she keeps telling herself Dante will wait for her, he will wait no matter how long, he takes her, he will surely wait. Shirley stop it.

Hm! Barbara, she has become an household name to you, how did you two meet, I am sure, it wasn't during her working at the office nor last night you bid for her, geez! You spend that huge amount on a girl.

It's my money, so I decided who to spend it on, now tell me, what are you doing here?

To claim what was mine.

What did you say? Her voice was low, Dante couldn't figured what she was saying, so he asked, she smiled at him then picked her wears, she start grooming herself.

You haven't tell me, where you two met? She seem to be an interesting character, is like Jayden and your cousin are comfortable with her, I could see the look on their face when dad said that, we should get engaged, so I am curious. Shirley acted like she doesn't know anything, she looks at Dante. Come on, we are still friends and you shouldn't worried about the arranged marriage, I was only playing along with dad, you should know I am a good actress, I don't want dad feeling bad.

Dante stare at her confused, she just go nude in front of him and now she is acting like she is not interested in him, is she doing it on purpose, he look at her, then that inner thought of him distracted him.

You shouldn't trust this woman, she is a two face bitch. He shakes his head when Shirley touch him.

Stop thinking and focus on my question, since when do you get distracted so fast? Geez! Now I am beginning to think, that woman must be a bad influence on you.

Are you sure, you are not interested in me? Dante asked, Shirley smirked

Oh Dante! Why are you not trusting my words, you should trust me, you and I have gone a long way, forget I left, I left without saying goodbye, because I felt you are too bossy, too serious, I wanted a man that could listen to me but then you are that aloof man, you are the man that have no trace of romance in you, I want my relationship to be different, I want a man who share his thoughts with me, I wanted us to have a conversation like two people in love, not a master and a slave relationship...

Was I treating you that bad?

Come on Dante, you and I know, you made all the decisions in the relationship, it's always your opinion, I practically have to make your favorite food mine, your favorite color mine, the places you love to go to, stay away from all my friends, just to be with just you, I did all those things so I could fit into your world, don't you think it's suffocating? Having to live someone else life, just so you can fit into the person world?

Dante sit on the couch, he felt drenched.

Why didn't you tell me, I was suffocating you? I was practically bullying you, you should had let me Know, instead of leaving, do you know what hurt the most, is to be separated from someone you love without a goodbye, when that someone acted like you don't exist then you begin to Doubt yourself, you lost all your self worth, like you are not good enough, libel every other woman as same, lock yourself in a bottle afraid of facing same fate like before. You made me feel like some inadequate fool that is so difficult to be love

No way!

Yes, that is what you made me feel like, everytime I come close to any woman, I doubt myself, I couldn't face them

I am sorry, sorry maybe, I was a little bit, confused, then I saw that post, that say "maturity makes things smooth" I option for it and I thought of coming back when you are more mature. Dante laughed dryly. I am sorry.

I forgive you but we can't be in a relationship anymore. He wipe his tears than pushed the door, leaving Shirley behind, Shirley watch his back, as he tower the hallway, the man had grown, looking more handsome and mature, yet his heart is no longer for her. She cry, after sometime, she left the room to join her father but the butler inform her that, the old ones were having a walk around the villa, so she ended up with Sally and Jayden who is now with a girl laughing at the garden
