Shattered Vows: Call Me Auntie Now novel Chapter 123

Quinn's back was pressed flat against the icy wall as Dante's towering frame boxed her in, completely trapping her.

She fluttered her eyelashes, the intoxicating buzz of alcohol instantly evaporating under his overwhelming physical dominance, leaving her gaze sharp and freezing.

"Dante, let me go."

She shoved against him, but beneath the tailored suit, his chest was like solid rock. He didn't budge an inch.

Worse, he used her momentum to trap her wrists, pinning her hands above her head as he pressed his body flush against hers.

Knowing she could never overpower him physically, Quinn weaponized the one thing he cared about.

"Aren't you terrified Vivienne will catch you like this?"

"So, your little outburst downstairs... you were just jealous, weren't you?"

Dante was utterly captivated by her soft curves pressed against him. Convinced her recent hostility was merely jealousy, the suffocating frustration in his chest finally lifted.

He coaxed her in a low, husky voice, "Didn't I tell you to give me time? I will sort things out with Vivienne."

Quinn scoffed, her eyes devoid of any emotion.

"Jealousy requires caring, and I already told you I don't care about you anymore."

"Whatever you and Vivienne do is none of my business."

"You're lying!"

Dante's eyes burned with irrational obsession. The idea that Quinn loved him was hardwired into his very soul.

In his mind, it was easy to walk away, but impossible to take back a love that ran that deep.

He simply refused to believe she could erase years of absolute devotion just like that.

The searing intensity in his gaze made Quinn's skin crawl. "I'm not lying. I also told you we are getting a divorce."

She threw the harsh truth at him to snap him out of it, but it only shattered his remaining self-control.

"In your dreams!"

He gripped her chin, tilting her face up, and crashed his mouth against hers in a punishing, alcohol-laced kiss.
