~WILLOW~
“I wanted to p each of them on their ugly faces!” rissa hissed next to me. “Why didn’t Dante say
something? He just stood there while they all had so much to say.”
“To be fair, there wasn’t anything he could say to make it better.” Autumn points out. “They are indeed
sleeping in separate rooms.”
“At least he got her this beautiful ring,” rissa says as she brings my hand closer to her face. “Even
though he upsets me sometimes, I must say that Dante at least made one good decision tonight. Did
you see Sharon’s face when she saw the ring?”
Autumn nods, “Sharon is just upset that she didn’t get a chance to have Dante herself. She knew that
there was nothing she could do as long as Anya was around. Now that Anya’s gone, she thinks she
can have him even though he’s married.”
“Women like her makes me so angry.” rissa mumbles. “Damon was holding me back the entire time;
if he weren’t around, I would have fried her hair!”
Autumn covered her mouth, but even that couldn’t stop herughter. “That would have been such a
funny sight to see.”
I had to agree. Seeing something like that happen to Sharon would have ced me in a better mood.
“Damon and Atticus aren’t happy we left the party early.” Autumn sighs.
“Are you sure they aren’t following us back home?” rissa asks. She looks behind us to confirm.
“They’ll stay to keep Dantepany,” Autumn answers her. “They know he hasn’t been himselftely.”
rissa nods and then looks over at me. “You haven’t said a single word. Are you sure you’re okay?”
I nod, “I’m sorry. I never know what to say around the two of you.”
Her eyes widen, “do we make you nervous?”
I shook my head, “you’re so close to each other. You’re sisters. I sometimes feel like it may be hard for
me to—”
I wasn’t sure how to exin myself.
“Just because we’re close doesn’t mean that we don’t have space for a new sister. We may be sisters
by blood, but we’re open to another. And we think that you’ll be perfect to fit into that position.” Autumn
assures me.
“I agree with Autumn. We need someone like you toplete us. So please, feel morefortable
around us. We promise that we will always protect you.” rissa promises me.

I’m surprised by their kindness. Anya and my mother have been nothing but mean to them both. They’d
done things I still hoped were not true. Still, Autumn and rissa treated me like I was, indeed, their
long-lost sister.
We pulled up to the mansion. They walked me back to my room. They asked if I wanted to spend more
time with them, but I was too sad to join them. It still bothered me that everyone knew Dante and I
didn’t sleep in the same room. The rumors would only get worse from now on.
Women like Sharon would throw themselves at Dante now that they knew he had no feelings for me. I
grabbed a pillow from the bed and buried my face into it. The thought of women like her throwing
themselves at him made me frustrated. I knew there was no chance he would ever give them what they
wanted, but it still bothered me.
I went back to my diary. The one ce I felt safe.
My Dearest Husband,
Today you did something that left me breathless. You gave me a ring and ced it on my finger in front
of hundreds of girls who wished you were theirs. It made my heart flutter once more. It scared me
because it made me want you more than I already did. I want you to continue to be nice to me, but at
the same time, I wish that you didn’t. Because if you did, my heart would lose this battle, and if it did, I
won’t be able to stop myself from taking what should have been mine since the beginning.
I dropped the pen onto the bed and ced the diary where it belonged. I don’t know why I put my
thoughts into that book. It was a disaster waiting to happen if anyone ever tried to read it.
My door opens suddenly, and I’m surprised to see Dante standing at the entrance. What was he doing
back already? He should still be at the party with his brothers.
He usually knocked before entering. Did something happen?
I slowly got up from the bed and walked over to him. “Did something happen?” I ask.
The first thing I did was search his face for any bruises. However, to my relief, there were none.
“Take your things. You’re moving out.” He announces suddenly.
My lips part. Moving out?
“I don’t understand,” I whisper. “Did I do something wrong? Are you kicking me out of your home?”
He runs a hand down his face impatiently, “No, Willow. You’re moving into my room.”
I’m left speechless.
“Moving into your room?” I ask; I don’t think I’d heard him correctly. Dante didn’t want me in the same
room with him in the past. Why would he ask me to move into his room the same night he gave me a
ring? What was he up to?
“Yes.” He says. “Get your things. It’s time that we stay in the same room together.”
I lick my lips, and his eyes linger briefly before he looks behind me. “What are you waiting for?”
“Why are you suddenly being nice to me?” I demand. “First, you gave me a ring in front of everyone.
And now, you’re asking me to stay in the same room with you even though you were the one who
asked for separate rooms to begin with.”
He steps towards me, and all of the organs in my body freeze. It’s almost like all of my life was
suddenly sucked out of my body.
“I’m tired of the f*****g rumors.” He growls. “I’m tired of what people are saying about you. If this is what
it takes to shut them up, then please listen to me and get your things into my room.”
