Shattered Vows: Call Me Auntie Now novel Chapter 275

The destructive fallout from the typhoon was set to impact Riverton for at least another week.

Though the city had managed to clear the downed trees and repair some street infrastructure over the past two days, tonight's rain was pouring down harder than ever.

Gale-force winds whipped the torrential rain across the city streets, sending the shadows of trees thrashing wildly. The entire world felt trapped under a suffocating, bleak darkness.

The heavy rain relentlessly hammered the windshield, mirroring the absolute chaos inside Dante's heart.

An endless, suffocating tide of regret was brutally chewing away at his sanity.

Even with the storm raging and lightning intermittently tearing the night sky in half...

He didn't want to wait for tomorrow.

He needed to see Quinn tonight.

Before long, the black Maybach pulled smoothly to a stop outside Lunas Crest. Dante cut the engine and killed the headlights, letting the luxury car dissolve entirely into the darkness.

Looking up, he stared at the detached villa braving the torrential downpour. His eyes locked onto the warm, inviting orange glow spilling from the living room windows.

The light in the second-floor bedroom was still on. She wasn't asleep yet.

His manic, racing heart instantly found a strange sense of peace.

Just knowing she was inside gave his soul a place to anchor itself.

He sat in the driver's seat, his large hands still resting on the steering wheel, his gaze fixed unblinkingly on the floor above.

At this hour, was she coaxing Leo to sleep, or was she working on her design drafts?

Upstairs, Raymond returned to the room and finished a call with his assistant, Caleb Jenkins, discussing corporate matters back in Harbor Heights. Just as he was about to hang up, his dark eyes casually swept over the window and instantly sharpened.

"That's all for now. If anything else comes up, text me."

Ending the call, Raymond stood by the window, staring down at the specific spot where a car was parked in the shadows.

Because of the relentless rain, the streetlamps in the courtyard were dim, making it impossible to make out the car's make or license plate.

But even so, Raymond's razor-sharp intuition told him exactly who was down there. Dante was here.
