Chapter 11

Dante was still very livid and he was yet to have his satisfaction as to making Fabiano pay. But he didn’t want to beat him up in front of his father anymore. “Romano,Take him to my house.Since Thiago did a shitty job in raising his son,I’ll help him to teaching Fabiano a lesson he’d never forget.” Romano quickly went forward and grabbed Fabiano. Fabiano was trembling all long and he was in so much pain but thinking of the torture Dante would put him through if he gets locked up in Dante’s house filled him with dread. “Grandpa,help me!Don’t let him take me to his house.He’ll kill me…please help me…please call my father.” Gustavo glanced at Dante and swallowed. He knew that Dante was still very much upset and asking him to forgive Fabiano would be fruitless. After Fabiano was taken away,Gustavo said softly to Dante. “I know what he did was wrong.He had badly hurt your woman.But he’s still family.You can punish him however you want,just don’t kill him.” “I’ll try not to.”Dante’s tone was cold and frightening. Gustavo sighed,wishing that Fabiano hadn’t done that to the girl. This evening was supposed to be a nice and happy family dinner with his children and their spouses but Fabiano had to ruin it. Half an hour later,Fabiano’s parents rushed into the house,they were visibly angry,they had learned about their son being beaten and taken away by Dante. Dante was busy taking care of Renee when he was told that his brother and sister-in-law were downstairs. He paid no mind to that and continued tending to Renee. Gustavo managed to calm the couple down and ordered them to go back home.He told them that everyone should have a reasonable conversation the next day when their anger had subsided. ***************** Renee had fallen asleep after the doctor’s treatment but she didn’t have a peaceful sleep. It was haunted by Fabiano trying to take her. “Help me…no…don’t touch me,please.”She begged. “Dante,please.Help me…please help me.” “Dante…” She called his name over and over again and cried like an helpless child. Dante’s heart ached as he watched her struggle in her sleep. He held her hand and pressed a kiss against it.He softly caressed her hand as he sworn. “I’m so sorry.I’m very sorry.I’ll make sure nothing like this ever happens again.If anyone dares to touch your hair,I’ll kill him!” He got into the bed and pulled her into his arms. “It’s okay,Renee.You’re safe now.You’re with me.It’s okay.You’re going to be okay.I’ll always protect you.”He murmured,stroking her hair,gently. She sighed leaning against him. She gradually calmed down and settled into a deep and peaceful sleep. ************** The next day,Renee woke up and found herself in Dante’s private residence. She tried to sit up but her back hurt terribly,which made her wince in pain. Taking a deep breath,she slowly sat up and tried to get out of bed. As she tried to set her feet on the floor,she lost her balance and the next second,with a loud scream,she fell to the floor on her face. Just then,the door of the bathroom suddenly opened and a figure rushed in. “Renee!Are you okay?”Dante panicked,rushing towards her. “Did you try to get out of bed?Why aren’t you being careful with yourself?”He queried. As Renee lifted up her head to look at him,her eyes widened at the sight. Why wasn’t he on a towel or robe?! He was totally naked. Her breath got stuck in her throat as her eyes fell lower. At the sight of his manhood,she screamed and quickly covered her eyes. “Go…go put on some clothes?Have you got no shame.” Dante laughed as he bent towards her. “Shame?I am in my house and you’re my wife.” “We’re not married yet!”She argued. “Well,I consider you my wife already.”He informed her. He reached out and carried her into his arms. Renee’s body grew warm against his naked body. “I heard you scream and I had to rush to come check on you.There was no time to put up a robe or towel.”He explained. “Then go put something on now.”She suggested as he lowered her onto the bed. “Should I?”He asked hovering above her and supporting himself on his forearms. “What are you doing?Get…get off me.”She placed her hand on his chest,trying to push him away. “Your touch feels so good,baby.”He teased. Renee quickly took her hands away from his chest and gripped the bedsheets instead. “You…you…” “What?Do you want to touch other parts of me?”His voice was low and seductive and she could feel herself getting hot as if she was about to get a fever. “Stop teasing me and go get dressed.”She whined,closing her eyes. Dante laughed.”It’s okay.We can take things slow but just have it in mind that I’m going to fuck you soon.” Her jaw dropped at those words. “The doctor will be coming in soon to examine you.”He informed her and pressed a kiss against her forehead. Then he got off her and headed back to the bathroom. Renee released a sigh of relief when the bathroom door closed. Her face was red and her heart was beating like it was going to beat out of her chest. She tried to stop thinking about how big he was. She wasn’t a naughty girl! Soon,Dante walked out again,this time with a towel wrapped around the lower half of his body. There were still rivulets of water on his body and they slowly rolled down along his naked skin. He had just washed his hair and his short black hair was combed back,stylishly. Maybe it was because she had seen his face many times now.Or because she had come to accept him for who he is.She didn’t feel terrified of his scar anymore and she even felt that it didn’t look hideous at all. Instead,she was curious.She wanted to know what happened to him. She was so absorbed in staring at his face that she didn’t realize he had walked closer to her. “Since you keep looking at me like that,don’t blame me for thinking you want me to fuck you.” His lips were close to her ear.His warm breath tickling her earlobes. She was dazed and when she regain her consciousness,she quickly moved away,like a startled bird. She felt so uneasy and didn’t dare to stare at him anymore. ****** The family doctor arrived a few minutes later. “The injury on her back was not serious,but she has to be very careful until it completely heals up.As for her left ear,she might suffer hearing impairment for one or two months.” Fortunately,one or her ears was working fine, otherwise,she would have gone mad with worry by now. She still felt scared about what happened last night and it occurred to her that she hadn’t explained herself. She nervously held Dante’s hand and murmured,shaking her head. “I didn’t do anything last night.I…I just wanted to explore the greenhouse when he came onto me.Please believe me.I didn’t try to seduce him or anything.He…he tried to…”Tears filled her eyes recalling how mean Fabiano had been. Dante felt his heart aching again as he stared at the expression on her face. He greatly wished she hadn’t gone through something like that. He cupped her cheek and said,softly.”You do not need to explain yourself to me,Renee.I know you can never do something like that.I believe you.I know the kind of person you are…a pure,beautiful and lovely person.” Hearing him say that washed away the thoughts of last night. He filled her heart with warmth and made her feel so safe and secured.
