Chapter 98

My hand hesitated before reaching for the handle but I grasped it firmly, feelin cold metal press against the

skin of my palm, before I turned it simultaneously taking in a breath. The second that I had pushed open that door, Dante’s head had snapped up to look at who ever it had been that dared to interrupt him in such a harsh

manner.

His face was unreadable even as he took all of me in from the top of my head to the tip

“Can’t I stop by to see you?” I asked but he did not appreciate my nonchalance neither was he in the mood for it. I let out a sigh but didn’t allow my shoulders to slump. “You have not been taking any of my calls, Dante. I tried getting a hold of you multiple times and nothing.” I jogged his memory and by the look on his face he had been
