Dante. Dante. Dante. I have to find Dante. I need to know what happened, was all Celeste could think.

She set up a tray full of snacks, repeatedly reminding herself not to poison them because of mere jealousy.

The closer she got to her bedroom door, the more clearly she could hear the moans and grunts of the people inside. It made her insides do twists and turns, she desperately didn't want to open the door to see the scene.

She knocked on the door, "I'm coming in, please stop whatever you're doing." Luca never listened to her but this once, she was hoping he'd just stop what he's doing so she can drop off the snacks and find Dante.

She heard silence, which she accepted as a invitation to go in. She prepared herself for the worst as she walked in. "I'm leaving it here." She said without looking at the bed. She was going to leave it at the coffee table in the sitting space.

"How do I know you didn't poison it?" Luca asked.

"Why does everyone think i'm out to kill them today... jeez..." Celeste whispered to herself. She took a bite of the biscuit herself, "There, I'm alive and not choking up blood or turning into Joffrey Baratheon during the Purple Wedding." *for all of you who don't watch Game of Thrones search up "purple wedding game of thrones" and it should be the first picture LOL!*

"What?" Luca asked confused.

"Oh my God, that episode is by far one of my favourites beside the Battle of the Bastards!" Betty chimed in.

"I know right!" Both Celeste and Jenny said at the same time. This was the first time Celeste clearly heard Jenny say something.

Celeste, stop yourself! You need to find Dante!

She heard shuffling from the bed as she was about to walk towards the door and suddenly a half naked Luca grabbed onto her wrist. "Look at me."

"I'd rather not... uh... maybe if you go put on some clothes..." Celeste said, not turning around.

"Look at me!" Luca said in a harsher tone.

Celeste took this chance to scan him with her eyes. He was well built, with a six pack. His v-line clearly defined by muscles. His body was covered in tattoos, she wondered what meaning each of them had. He had a sheet wrapped around his lower half so she didn't see anything past the v-line. He was drop-dead gorgeous, there's no denying that. Luca noticed the look on Celeste's face and as satisfied with her expression. She's dead ass swooning over me, he thought.

There was no avoiding the scene on the bed. She could clearly see behind him, the two girls completely naked, without shame. Celeste felt self-conscious. Betty and Jenny, both had nice curvy bodies that any girl would envy. They had plumpness on the right parts of their bodies like their chest and butt. Celeste couldn't help but admire those girls because they were truly beautiful. What brought them to work as such.... She thought. She noticed she was staring for too long and quickly looked down.

"Do you want to join us?" Luca smirked.

"W-what? Heck n-no!" Celeste was flustered.

He firmly grabbed onto her chin, "Good, because that's never going to be you."

"O-ow, Luca, that h-hurts." Celeste said even though she knew saying that never worked. She has said these words multiple times, yet they seem to never impact Luca. Ever.

He grabbed a handful of her hair and tilted her head back, "You need to stop showing me so much attitude. I don't need a bitch like you disrespecting me in front of people."

"Luca, that hurts, stop it." Celeste could feel tears stinging her eyes. She wasn't about to cry because his words hurt, it was because the pulling of her hair actually hurt. Okay, fine, she was partly crying because his words hurt too.

Jenny spoke up, which shocked Celeste, "Sir, leave her be, let's go back to enjoying ourselves. Don't waste your time on her." Jenny made eye contact with Celeste and nodded to let her know she was doing this to help her. Celeste wanted to mouth thank you, but didn't want to risk getting Jenny caught so she squeezed her eyes in acknowledgement.

"You're right, Jen. Ladies, let's snack." He let go of Celeste.

Celeste ran out of the room wiping away her tears. "Get yourself together, Celestina Car- I mean Battaglia? Doesn't matter. GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF! You need to find Dante for information!" She was telling herself. "I swear if he doesn't give me any information, he won't be getting my approval to shag up Asha." Such an innocent Celeste.

She paged Lorenzo because she wasn't sure how to get to Dante's. Their building wasn't a normal one where there's an elevator that connects all the floors. She only knew how to exit the building but had no clue how to get to the other floors. She had no clue what the other floors were for or if anyone even lived on those floors.

"Good evening, Ma'am." Lorenzo questioned.

"Do you know if Dante's at home?" she asked. She didn't have his number so it wasn't possible for her to text him and ask.

"Yes, he's at home, Ma'am." Lorenzo said.

"I need you to take me to his apartment because I don't know how to get there." she said sternly.

"Ma'am?" Lorenzo was puzzled.

"No questions! It's not as shady as you think. I just need to ask him a few things." she clarified just incase Lorenzo got some other ideas about what was going on.

After a few seconds of silence, Lorenzo agreed. "I'll be up in a few minutes." And hung up.

Celeste washed her face and applied some eye drops to her puffy dry eyes to make herself look as presentable as possible. She always looks like death every time Luca makes her cry.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Just as he said, Lorenzo was at the door in less than three minutes.

"Shall we?" Celeste said. Lorenzo nodded.

After a few twists and turns and two elevator rides, they reached Dante's floor. "What the heck was that? I felt like I just went through a maze."

"This building was made for the sirs security and protection, which is why it's so complicated getting from one place to another." Lorenzo said.

"No kidding." she said. She rung his doorbell.

To her surprise, Dante greeted her wearing only a towel around his waist. "What the- sis-in-law, what are you doing here?" He was shocked to see her. His body was just as muscular as his brother's but with less tattoos. He was just as gorgeous as Luca. I guess it runs in the famiglia (family), she thought.

Celeste quickly covered her eyes, "I-uh, I'm.. why are you opening the door in a towel?" She didn't know what to say.

Dante laughed, Because this is my apartment, I can do whatever I want."

"Okay, true, but can you please get dressed. We need to talk." Celeste said while having her eyes covered.

He let her in but she thought she heard girls giggling. "Girls, I have an unexpected visitor, we're going to have to cut our session short."

The two girls came out of , what Celeste thought was, his room wearing robes. The two girls whined "awww" while frowning. Celeste's mouth formed an 'O' when she realized what was happening. This runs in the family too, I guess?

His apartment was as big as Luca. The interior was a lot different though. Instead of cremes, he had a cherry wood theme. It was still very aesthetic.

After the girls left, Dante came and sat beside her dressed in a casual shirt and sweatpants. "I'm gonna have to report this to Asha. Showing her interest but doing the dirty business behind her back, huh?" Celeste giggled.

Dante's eyes widened, "No! Don't tell her! I promise I'll stop, don't tell her, please!"

He seemed serious to Celeste, "I was just kidding, not like you two were dating. But Asha would love to know that you gave up women to be dedicated to only her." Celeste was enjoying teasing Dante so much that she almost forgot her sole purpose for this visit.

Dante pouted, "Stop teasing, Celeste!"

"Okay, sorry no more." Celeste finally started in a serious tone, "I want to know about Luca's past. I want to know if he was always such a dick. I want to know about her."

She could tell when she put an emphasis on her, Dante's face turned pale. It was like bringing this "her" up, brought him unimaginable pain.

Dante's face darkened, "I can't tell you anything. Do you dare bring her up in front of Luca if you want your life spared."

He was getting up to walk away but Celeste grabbed his arm, "I need to know... Dante, please. I want to believe Luca wasn't always this cruel. I need to know what dark past he's fighting. I need to know." Celeste was on the verge of tears because she was tired of facing Luca's tortures everyday. She needs to know what happened in order to understand everything. She needs to know to understand him.

Dante slipped his hand through his hair and sighed in frustration. He always hoped Celeste wouldn't bring this up or ever find out. He didn't even question how Celeste found out. He knew someone had let the story slip because almost everyone working for the Battaglias knew about this.

This story is going to send her running for the hills and Dante knew it. But he also knew she had the right to know. She had to know what demons Luca was fighting in order to help him face them.

Dante sat back down beside Celeste but wouldn't look her in the eyes, "I really hoped I wouldn't have to tell you this. But you need to promise me something..."

Celeste nodded to gesture him to keep going. "You won't run away from him after this. You'll stand your ground. I know you'll be afraid of him immensely after you find out but you can't run. You have to stay and help him. I know he hasn't been a great husband to you but you'll find out why. Please." Dante was almost begging at that point.

Celeste could see the love Dante had for his brother but she was also scared about what he was about to tell her. "I promise." She reassured him.

"There was a girl Luca was in love with about four years ago. Her name was Adriana..." Celeste could tell that even saying her name brought Dante great discomfort.

"Luca dated her for 3 years and even proposed to her. They were to wed. He was madly deeply in love with her. He was ready to sacrifice his life for hers. He was so blinded by love, he didn't notice the little changes in her. He didn't notice that she was falling more and more out of love with him, and falling more and more in love with Luca's wealth." Dante paused to gather his thoughts and glance at Celeste to see if she's doing okay so far.

Celeste gestured him to continue. "He wasn't anything like he is now. He used to be a happier person. He used to crack the most dumb jokes, he smiled and laughed almost all the time, he was the complete opposite of who he is now. He was a really loving person before, believe it or not." Celeste almost thought she saw tears in Dante's eyes. She couldn't believe it. How could she? Can you blame her? Poor girl gets abused by him every single day whether its physically or verbally.

"The more the days went by, the more Adriana wanted materialistic things from Luca. She wanted new clothes, shoes, accessories, houses, cars constantly. And Luca, being so head-over-heels for her, provided for her lifestyle without questioning it. But Lorenzo and I both noticed it was getting out of hand and warned Luca but obviously, he wouldn't listen."

Celeste had just noticed Lorenzo had taken a seat in front of them and was there the whole time. She even noticed the dark expression he had on, just like Dante.

"On their wedding day, it all shattered to pieces. He was left at the alter, Celeste. We all waited for 30 minutes before one of our men gave me the news that Adriana was gone. At first we all thought maybe someone kidnapped her to get back at Luca for something. You know how our business works. Luca turned into a beast when he heard of her so-called kidnapping." Dante put air quotes around "so-called kidnapping".

"He was blood thirsty, he looked so terrifying. Anyone who made eye contact with him that night would've surely died just from looking at him. For the first time in my life, I was scared of my brother.

Someone tipped off her location. She was last seen at one of the apartments Luca bought her earlier that year. She was so stupid, if she was going to fuck up, she could've at least picked a more anonymous location. Anyways, when we all walked in, we all saw her in bed with another man..."

Celeste gasped.

"Luca's concerned persona turned into something I hope he never turns into again. Monster is understatement, blood-thirsty is an understatement, anything vicious and cruel a human could think of would be an understatement. The way he killed the man..." Dante shuddered at the thought.

"It was beyond cruel, Celeste. The end result of that man, well, no one could tell that the pieces of meat on the floor was ever even human. What made it worst was that while he did all of this, he made Adriana watch. Her screams were blood curdling. She begged Luca to stop, but it wasn't the Luca she knew anymore. Not even our experienced men could watch this poor man's fate."

Celeste turned cold, she could literally feel her internal body temperature going down. Her hands felt like icicles yet her exterior felt hot. She felt sick and almost threw up at the description of the man's execution.

"After the man's body was basically nonexistent, Luca told all of us to leave the room. Adriana was screaming at me to help her, as much as I disliked her at that moment, I didn't want her suffering the same cruel fate. But, clearly, I couldn't do anything. Seconds after we all left, Adriana gave out a spine-chilling scream. It was a scream full of so much pain, I almost wanted to run inside to stop Luca." He sighed.

"After about 5 minutes of Adriana's screaming, it stopped. All our men, including me, were relieved. Those 5 minutes felt like 5 hours, it was frightening as fuck. When Luca walked out, he was covered in blood like he bathed in it. I almost thought I heard some of the men gasp. His eyes were dark and emotionless. And all he said was 'I took care of it' and walked away."

Celeste was shaking, she was visibly shaking. Her breathing was cut short, it felt like someone took away her unit of oxygen. She was expecting bad but not this bad.

Dante put his hand on top of hers, "Hey lis-holy shit sis-in-law, your hands are warm as fuck." He didn't take away his hand though.

"There's still a bit more to this, so just hold on. You wanted the full story so I'm giving you the full story. Don't start dying midway." Dante joked a little, hoping to lighten her mood.

"After that, none of us were allowed to go back in that room. He told us to leave and we did. We didn't see him for almost a whole year after that event. No one knew where he went, no one was able to track his whereabouts. It was almost like he vanished and didn't exist for that year.

Later that year, when he came back, he was a different person. He wasn't the Luca I grew up with and loved so dearly. He was replaced by a cold-blooded jerk, which made him a valuable player in our game because was able to kill or torture with no resentment whatsoever. He didn't think twice before slicing someone's throat or taking a life of an innocent.

His change in character shouldn't have shocked me because I mean, his love of his life did leave him at the alter and cheat on him on his wedding day and maybe had been cheating on him the whole time. And also the fact that he killed in a way where no one would know that there was a body to begin with...

He became a broken man. I know this sounds cheesy as hell but I was deadly sure he wasn't going to love again until he married you. You, my beautiful sis-in-law, have a chance to bring our Luca back." Dante really believed in Celeste. Her innocent nature was all it took to make him believe in bringing joy in Luca's life again.

"I-I think I'm g-going to be s-s-sick." Celeste said holding a hand over her mouth.

"HEY HEY HEY NO VOMITING ON MY FURNITURE!!" Dante screamed, more playfully than seriously.

He held her hands in his, "shit, your hands are still warm as fuck. Listen, I know this might sound like I'm pressuring you, but I believe you're the only one to bring him back and help him face his demons. He's been facing them alone for so long..." Dante trailed off.

"I c-can't. He hates my damn guts, Dante. He hates me. He really hates me. I want out of this relationship. I'm sorry but I don't think I can handle any of this. He's really going to fricking murder me." Celeste was cracking under the new information that she was just told.

"Celeste... you're burning up..." Dante said as he put a hand on her forehead.

"What the fuck are you two doing?" They heard a loud angry voice.

All three of them whip their heads towards Luca's direction. Lorenzo looked back at Dante and Celeste and noticed they were still holding hands.

"Luca! Listen, bro, she's got f-" Luca didn't let Dante finish his sentence.

Luca looked at Dante and Celeste's hands in fury, then grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards the door.

Celeste felt her body temperature suddenly rise and felt light headed. The last thing she remembered was Luca carrying her bridal style. He's making me fight his demons along with him...
