Chapter 21 Jealous

• Dante’s POV
• I can’t believe I’m under her damn bed. What was supposed to be a simple plan to get in and out without being noticed has turned into a disaster. I meant to leave last night, but exhaustion got the better of me, and I ended up passing out. And now? Now, I’m stuck in this humiliating mess. This is all on me, though—I should’ve stuck to the plan. But I didn’t. And now I’m lying here, cramped, hidden in the shadows like some desperate creep.
• The plan has completely unraveled. I thought staying hidden would be the smart move. She’ll be more likely to accept me if she doesn’t know who I really am—if she doesn’t know I’m Dante. The moment she figures that out, everything will change. But still, as much as I tell myself it’s for the best, it feels like the plan is slipping further and further from my control.
