Chapter 40

• ~Dante’s POV~
• There she is, standing at the door as though she had seen a ghost. Did she think I wouldn’t find her even after bumping into my car? Maybe. My shoulders tensed as I stared at her. A pinch of annoyance washed over me, along with a slew of bottled emotions. My dark eyes were fixed on her, the woman who had stolen nearly 5 years of my life. We just stood there, staring at each other. No one said a word. We were just looking at each other. She looked terrified. She ought to be. I’m not here to eat; I’m here to claim what is rightfully mine. She looked confused.
• “At long last, Bunny.” She backed up a few steps. She was trembling. Why should I care about how nervous I make her right now? I want my children and she is not going to stop me. I will take them away from her and let her feel how I felt all those years ago. I was a father without even knowing it. As if she could even go a day without them. Does she realize how difficult it has been for me to not see them since yesterday? I want to see them every day. They are entirely mine. “Are we going to stand here or will you invite me in?”
