Chapter 34: She’s Mine, The World Would See It
Dante’s POV
I stood at the bottom of the stairs, waiting impatiently, but the moment my eyes landed on Gia, the air punched out of my chest.
My head went still, my lungs refusing to work until I dragged in a deep breath just to steady my heart.
Damn. She looked breathtaking.
My eyes traced every inch of her as she descended. Her hair fell in soft waves around her shoulders, her face lit with sexy makeup, her lips painted a tempting red that made my cock twitch with thoughts I shouldn’t be entertaining. Those lips, smeared and ruined, fuck. Get it together.
D
Then lower, her breasts pushed up by the cut of the dress, smooth and perky, straining against the neckline. My mind betrayed me, awakening the filthy image of my cock buried between them, her mouth gasping for air as I thrust up while she gasped my name.
Heat surged through me.
Get it together, I warned myself, shifting against the sudden tightness straining my pants.
I dragged my gaze down the rest of her, taking in slender curves, every line of her body sculpted by that scandalous black dress. Perfect. She was fucking perfect. I could imagine lifting her easily, pressing her against the wall, my hands palming her ass while I devoured every sound she made.
And then I saw the slit.
With every step she took, the dress parted, teasing me with flashes of smooth inner thigh. My cock twitched at the sight, imagining them wrapped around my waist, her nails clawing my back as I drove into her tight heat.
Fuck.
Mine, a voice inside me growled. She was mine.
Yet here she was, her legs practically on display for every man in the room we were heading into, men who wouldn’t be able to control themselves, men who would devour her with their eyes the same way I was doing now, having the same filthy thoughts I was already choking back.
The thought made rage burn hot in my chest. The possessive pull was so strong I nearly ordered her back upstairs to change, her body for my eyes only.
But we were already late, and knowing Gia, she’d make a fuss. I ground my teeth. Just tonight. I wasn’t letting her out of my sight for a single second.
She reached the bottom step and our eyes locked. For a moment, my lungs forgot how to work.
“Your Royal Highness,” she muttered, sarcasm dripping from her tongue.
A smirk tugged at my mouth. I’d expected nothing less.
“You had them dress me up like some shiny plaything,” her brow lifted, daring me, “the least you could do is tell me where we’re going.”
I stepped in, closing the space between us, pulled to her like gravity. Her jab was meant to rattle me, but tonight I wasn’t indulging her games, not when every second of her defiance only made me want to claim her more.

I extended my hand. She held back, but in the end she couldn’t resist, her hand sliding into mine.
The moment her skin grazed mine, desire tore through me like fire in my veins. I yanked her forward, crushing her body against my chest. Her hand landed just above my heart, trembling.
Her breath hitched, heat rolling off her in waves, and for one reckless second I nearly claimed those red–painted lips.
My grip locked around her waist, fingers biting into her hips hard, an intentional reminder of who held control.
Leaning down until my mouth hovered by her ear, I murmured, low and deliberate, “Tonight, you will shut up and not speak unless you are spoken to, is that clear?”
I felt her body tense against mine, fear yes, but heat too. She couldn’t hide it. A silent battle flashed across her face, torn between pulling away and giving in.
Then came the faintest nod.
Satisfied, I released her, but not before letting my hand linger, sliding low to cup her ass and draw her tighter against my core.
She gasped, thighs pressing together as if to contain what she felt.
That was enough for now. I let go, straightening before catching her hand and pulling her toward the door.
Tonight, she was mine, and the world would see it.
I sat in the back seat of the car, Bruno at the wheel. My eyes stayed on the night outside, the rush of headlights blurring past, but my mind wasn’t on the road.
It was on what was coming.
Tonight was everything.
I hadn’t stepped into a Clan gathering since Lorenzo forced me into hiding, but now, with my revenge already in motion, the time had come to show myself. None of them knew I’d be walking into that hall tonight to take back what was mine.
And I wasn’t returning empty–handed. My army was bigger, stronger, and more ruthless than ever. Unknown to them, I had reclaimed every stolen territory, crushed every opposition that dared to rise against me, and absorbed every smaller faction too weak to stand on its own.
And Augusto Vitale, that sneaky fool, thought he was walking into this meeting to crown himself Mafia King.
A slow smirk curved my lips at the thought. I could already see his face when I walked into that hall, the shock, the fear, the realization that the throne he schemed for all these years was never going to be his.
He wasn’t the only one. Every single one of those bastards who turned their backs on me, who thought I was finished, would choke on their own silence when I appeared. I hadn’t seen their faces in years, but tonight, I would. And they would see mine.
Bruno handled the meetings and appearances, I trusted him with my life. We had known each other since we were boys, his father had served mine faithfully until his death.
From then on, Bruno and I were inseparable, bound by loyalty and blood spilled side by side. When it came time for me to rule, I chose him as my advisor, and he became my right hand. He was the only man I could trust

implicitly, the one man who would never betray me the way Lorenzo did.
While I remained in hiding, Bruno ran the day–to–day dealings of my empire, while I plotted my vengeance.
But now, it was time the world knew I had returned.
Tonight wasn’t about negotiation, it wasn’t diplomacy, it was reclamation. I wasn’t walking into that hall to ask for my crown back, I was walking in to take it.
And I wasn’t going alone.
My gaze shifted to the seat beside me, Gia, Lorenzo’s daughter, my possession now.
Bruno was right in asking me to come along with her, her presence at my side was a message stronger than any speech. Lorenzo was nothing, his bloodline, his legacy, his family, I owned it all. Any man who dared resist would see what happened to those who betrayed me.
Soon I would not only sit on the throne and reclaim my rightful place as Mafia King, I would uncover every hidden asset, every cent Lorenzo had stolen, including the inheritance that belonged to my wife. And when I did, there would be nothing beyond my reach.
