Chapter 31

• The rivalry between Dante and me intensified in the following days. I was determined to show him that I wouldn't be controlled by his expectations or the old traditions of the mafia. Dante, on the other hand, seemed determined to prove that he was moving on, enjoying Diana's company.
• Every move I made with Michele was calculated to provoke jealousy in Dante. We strolled through the charming streets of Florence, enjoyed meals in picturesque restaurants, and explored the charms of Tuscany. I made a point of sharing these moments on social media, knowing that Dante was paying attention.
• Meanwhile, Dante was not to be outdone. He and Diana were often seen enjoying the luxurious pool at the mansion. Their laughter echoed through the hallways, fueling the growing tension between us. Even enveloped in his act, Dante couldn't hide the looks of frustration when he saw me with Michele.
