Dantè’s P.O.V.

I wasn’t really up for any meetings today, I have a few family things that I should be taking care of, so I want to hurry this one up.

I got into the office & sat in the board room half an hour before everything begun, because I had a few emails to catch up on.

Luke - “Dude, are you coming out later on? Also we’ve got one more meeting at 2pm this afternoon.”

In comes my right hand man, my best friend & my brother, Luke.

Dantè - “s**t I don’t know man maybe. Do I have to be at the meeting today? I still want to find this woman.”

Luke - “You don’t really have to be there, but dude give it up. Not even any of my contacts have seen or heard of her. But I mean if you’re still chasing love then go for gold I say.”

Did I mention he pisses me off sometimes because he’s always spitting some type of love bullshit, but that’s only because he’s got a wife & kids.

But I’ve told him, because of our line of work, I refuse to love, I can’t love .. not anymore! Also I refuse to do so anyways because they would be in danger if I ever had people I cared about in my life.

I have to worry about my business & I gotta enough family members & friends to watch out for and keep out of danger.

Having a wife or family would only mean more targets and bodies to keep count of.

Dantè - “she needs to pay for what she has done, she will get what’s coming to her. But I’m not in the mood for that right now, I need to focus on this meeting, I will worry about after work.”

Luke shook his head & pulled his phone out.

I had finished replying to my last email, before I checked the time & noticed that this meeting should get kick started in the next few minutes, so I decided to close my laptop.

Little did I know I was going to get the shock of my life when I heard a sweet voice greeting everyone a ‘morning all’.

I was struck speechless actually.

What the actual f**k is going on?

Of all people right now I’ve been trying to find this woman & came up with nothing.

Now she just shows up & what the am I supposed to do right now?

I was having a decent, usual morning until this, I mean don’t get me wrong she is a damn sight for sore eyes, without a doubt.

But to be reminded about the fact that she was the first woman to leave my bed the next morning without any hassles or clingy s**t intrigued me more.

I can’t do this s**t right now damn it, I need to talk to her, make her pay for striking my ego down, she needs to suffer everything I felt.

Casey - “Morning all.”

She smiled & glanced around the room, she didn’t make eye contact with me but I so badly wanted her to.

I missed her eyes.

Fuck! What is it that I’ve felt?

She sat next to Justin Smith, he was a good businessman & he’s actually quite great to work alongside, despite right now I want to rip his f*****g head off because he just stood up & kissed her on the cheek.

Everyone wondered if he was gay but no one knew for sure, he was a very private man, much like myself.

I watched them whispering to each other & my blood kept boiling the whole time, but I still couldn’t move my eyes away from her.

The meeting begun and I had to ensure I was listening in but it was hard to focus when she was right there, right now.

1 hour later .. the meeting was finally over, although most of my attention was stuck in her direction.

I couldn’t be bothered with the meeting, and because I didn’t pay much attention throughout it anyways, I told them I would get back to them tomorrow with my final decision.

It had been 4 f*****g years since I had seen this woman
