An attack???
An attack???
DANTE’s POV
Inside my car, heading to my golf house where my friends and some business associates were waiting. I’ve been filled with smiles since I got back with Rosa. I finally felt fulfilled.
“I always get what I want.”
I've been whispering those same words at myself since we got back..
‘Dante, you almost doubted if you could get her, but you did, you have.. No woman is hard to get, it just depends on how you go about it. After watching you for weeks Rosa, now I've got you exactly where I want you.’
I thought, gulped down a glass of water, and grinned.
“We are here, sir.”
My driver, Tony, looked up at the glass, said to me, and I nodded softly.
I didn't bring out my cars, I didn't want a crowd, I just needed something small.. He opened the door for me, and slowly I got down and looked ahead.. It was quite quiet and I wasn't sure why.
“Doesn't sound like anyone is here, does it?”
I asked Tony and he also agreed.
I looked around, I turned around slowly checking the atmosphere of the place, and something didn't feel right. Something felt very off, but I wasn't sure what it was.
I picked out my phone, called one of them, no one answered, I called another one, still the same thing.. They were about 6, but no one answered.
My driver brought out his gun and sent a red notice to the house and I immediately chuckled.
“If anyone is bold enough to set a trap for me in my own Golf house, then I am more than impressed, because it only means I have a spy in my house or among my business associates.”
I said to Tony as I still kept staring around the place. Something felt very off, I could feel it in my guts. I didn't want to go inside, the security at the gate was also not there.
“Someone is trying to get me? Me? In a place where I come to relax.. Hell will break loose today if that is the case.”
“Boss, I sent the red notice to the house and I'm sure that they are on their way, please step back into the car, sir.. The head of security insists you do so.”
I chuckled, but walked two steps away from the car, and Tony almost freaked out.
“Sir, please.. Do not go any further. If there is really an attack set for you, then it is very dangerous, sir, please. The head of secu..”
“The head of security, as in Royce? He is always worried whenever I tell him not to come along with me, so it isn't a new thing, Tony.”
“Sir, if anything happens to you then best believe that Royce will end my life on sight.”
I looked back at him and I laughed.
My head of guards can be a lot sometimes.. He doesn't play about me, well, he has been with me for a while now, before he became Don Dante.. He has acted the role of a mother for me, so he doesn't play about me conceding my well-being. If I ever told him I wanted to go to a place without him or any guard, he would get mad and scared.. Sometimes he even secretly follows me.
One time I told him not to follow me, but he did without my knowledge and he saved me.. It was a slight save. If he were a second late, I would have lost one of my legs, but he arrived in time and shot the assassin who was sent to shoot me.
They arrived in three cars, but I was still more focused on what was happening. Royce ran to Tony and held his neck.
“I told you not to let the boss go any further.. Why is he still outside the car? Are you mad?!”
“Let him go, Royce.. You talk like I'm some child that can be ordered around.. Am I Leo? He told me but I refused. Let him go.”
I stared at him and said, but he still held Tony pretty tight.
“S.. Sir.. Plea.. Please..”
Tony begged and I sighed.
“Royce.. Let him go!”
He pushed him away and immediately walked over to me.
“Sir, it's not safe, please. Step into the car, and we will handle it here. I will look around, please, sir.”
“Ah.. Royce, you treat me like I'm some child.. You know all this isn't new, right? We have stood and fought all. If someone really had the guts to lay an ambush for me here, then they would either kill me or start running for their lives.”
Royce nodded. He brought out a pair of binoculars and stared carefully and slowly.
“Well, obviously there isn't anyone here.. Not even the securities.. Ah.. Where did they all go?”
“Chased out, dead, kidnapped, there are just lots of things that could have happened to them, but..”
“Shit, shit!!!”
Royce stood in front of me and pulled me back to the car. The other guards ran to where we stood and fired shots heavily.
“Stay in here, sir! Please!”
“Royce, what..”
“Dante! Listen to me please.”
I know he means business whenever he calls my name while talking.
I nodded, he walked away, and stopped them from shooting.
“I will have so much explaining to do tomorrow! Fuck! So many bullets were shot!”
I rubbed my hands over my eyes and pushed my head back.
I pulled my gun out, waiting for any bastard who would try to come near me, so they would get shot in a very dramatic way.
Royce joined me in the back seat and Tony sat in the driver's seat.
“Is everything fine? What did you see earlier?”
“There was a sniper back there sir! A fucking sniper! This is what, sir? What? Fifth, sixth time? I'm never letting you go anywhere alone! Ever! You'd better sack me or else you're never getting that free space.”
“Is this about the attacks or do you just need reasons to be around me?”
I winked at him.
He frowned at my words and then hit Tony’s shoulders.
“Who do you think it is this time around, sir?”
