CHAPTER 43 ARE YOU JEALOUS?
Silver wiggled under the cover as her phone alarm beeps. She groaned and outstretched her hand to the nightstand insearch of her phone. She opened her eyes and sat up on the bed as she couldn’t find it. She stood up from the bed and began searching for her phone on the bed. She tossed the pillow out from the bed and found her phone below. She heaved a sigh of relief and grabbed her phone before she turned off the alarm.
Last night she couldn’t sleep after remembering how Lorenzo had made an attempt to kill her. She wanted to call Ann to make sure she’s safe and informed about Lorenzo’s release from jail but remembered that she’s with Marcus and that might cause a distraction for her. She doesn’t want Ann to feel insecure about Lorenzo being free from jail, that would make her feel bad . She ran her fingers through her disheveled hair as she was muddled in thoughts and contemplation.
“Oh God, what should I do?”. Silver asked inwardly. She was worried and needed something that could free her mind. She smiled when an idea snapped into her mind.
She walked to the wardrobe and opened it before she brought out a red shirt paired with a black crop top. “This will do”. Silver said to herself as she entered the bathroom. She freshened up and wore her clothes before she came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her hair to keep it dry. She walked to the medium side vanity table which was positioned close to the window and picked up the hairbrush. She loosened the towel and draped it on the chair opposite the table then brushed down her hair before she packed it up in a high ponytail. “Perfect”. She said while admiring her appearance in the mirror; She felt satisfied with her reflection in the mirror as she was looking totally hot. She picked up her phone from the bed where she had dropped it and strode to the door.
Silver overheard a light chuckle as she came out of her room. She inched closer to Dante’s room, where the noise was coming and eavesdropped on him. She placed her hand on the door and pressed her ear against it to listen as she couldn’t hear clearly. She noticed he wasn’t the only one alone in the room as she could hear different voices. Out of desperation to know what’s going on in the room; she leaned forward and unknowingly to her, the door nudged wide open and she bumped on the floor.
Lorenzo and Dante, who were seated on the bed, both diverted their gaze to the door to see who must have intruded into the room, only to find Silver lying on the floor. She lifted her face and faked a smile at the both of them. Although she was surprised to see Lorenzo in Dante’s room which made her wonder how the two could get along so easily. For some reason, she felt like she shouldn’t trust Lorenzo’s friendship with Dante as maybe it was part of his plan to get her to tell him where her best friend Ann was now.
“Missing me already?”. Dante stood up with a half smile on his cute face as he approached her. He gave her his hand which she accepted before he lifted her up on her feet. “Are you okay?”. He asked with a mischievous smile on his face as he held her in both arms to keep her in place so he could inspect her. He spotted a bruise on her forehead and he felt consigned that she must have hit her on the ground so badly.
“Ahhh…”. Silver yelped in pain when Dante made an attempt to touch her head.
“I’m so sorry”. Dante apologized honestly before he released her from his grasp.
“It’s fine”. Silver said, almost sounding embarrassed as she backed away from him. She caresses her head, gently easing the pains.
“I’ll talk later, Dante”. Lorenzo said as stood up from the bed and patted Dantes shoulder before he left the room.
“Why were you eavesdropping on me?”. Dante asked.
“No I wasn’t”. Silver lied.
“Then what?”
“I only came here to ask if you wanna go join me for a morning walk”
“Morning walk?”. He asked in disbelief as he leaned back to observe her appearance from up to down and with the look on his face he wasn’t comfortable on the clothes she wore.
“What’s wrong? Why are you checking me out?”. Silver asked when she noticed him staring at her.
“Do you mean outside the neighborhood or in here?”. Dante ignored her question and asked. He admires her looking so sexy and attractive in this clothing but going outside with this outfit is what he feels awkward about.
“Are you coming or not?”. Silver asked, feeling pissed because of his inappropriate question.
“Of course…Yes”. Dante responded sharply as he didn’t want her wandering off around the streets in this outfit and allowing other men, who weren’t him, to lust over her body.
“Great, I will be waiting downstairs”. Silver said and turned to leave but he stopped her.
“Wait!”
Silver rolled her eyes before she turned to face him,”What?”.
“Do you mind changing this outfit?”. He query. “It doesn’t look good on you”. Dante said hoping she might take his advice and change into something much better than this nasty outfit.
Silver leaned closer and tiptoed up to meet his face before she whispered,”No”. Despite seeing the pleading look in his face, she didn’t feel consigned about it, afterall that’s how he said her boobs were small which spurred her to wear a push-up bra.’ Or is he being serious this time when he said that she doesn’t look good in this outfit?’. She wondered as she recalled when Ann told her that boys don’t lie when it comes to looks. She shook those thoughts off her head, “No matter what he thinks, I’m not gonna change his clothes”. She assured herself before she turned and left the room.
“Shit”. He cursed while running his hand through his hair. “Lorenzo”. Dante called as soon as Silver left. He walked to the Lorenzo room that was next to his and opened the door before he entered.
“What’s wrong?”. Lorenzo’s voice came out from the bathroom. He wore his boxer short after he had dried his body with the towel and draped the towel on his shoulder before he came out of the bathroom to see Dante standing at the door. “Come in man”. He responded and Dante locked the door behind him.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
“I and Silver are going for a walk”
“And so?”
“And i don’t like the outfit that she wore”
“So tell her you don’t like it”
Dante exhaled sharply,”I told her but she didn’t listen to me”.
Lorenzo scoffed and strode to the wardrobe.”Isn’t she your wife to be?”. He asked and before Dante could respond he added. “You have right over her, so if you tell her you don’t like it, then she’s gonna take it off. Stop being reticent”. He said.
“You don’t understand lorenzo”
Lorenzo paused and turned to look at Dante,”Make me”.
“I will explain everything to you later but just please tell me what I should do to get back at her”. Dante pleaded calmly while walking closer to Lorenzo.
“I didn’t say i wont help you and in fact”. He said. “I have a plan”. Lorenzo said with a devilish grin on his face.

Silver was seated on the coach in the sitting room, patiently waiting for Dante to show up so they could leave for a walk. “Arghh”. She groaned out of frustration as she has been waiting for almost an hour and still he isn’t downstairs yet. “What the fuck is he still doing upstairs?”. She stood up from the coach and walked to the stairs. She climbed a few steps upward, checking if she could sight him around but couldn’t. “You know what fuck it! He should have told me if he doesn’t want to hang out”. She said angrily and turned to leave but stopped when she heard a familiar voice call her name.
“Silver”
She halted when she heard Dante’s voice before she turned back,”Dante why…”. Her voice trailed off and her jaw dropped open, on seeing Dante in a white sweatpant and a black singlet. His manly body muscles were on display. She lowered her gazes down to his waist, she could spot the contour of his cock jiggling inside his pants while he raced down the stairs.
“Come on, let’s go”. Dante said, acting like he didn’t notice the surprised look on her face as he walked past her.
She swallowed hard as her eyes didn’t go astray from his attractive figure.”What the hell are you wearing Dante?, isn’t that a Lorenzo cloth??”. Silver questioned.
“Yeah”. Dante responds while strolling to the door that leads outside the house.
“But Lorenzo doesn’t give out his clothes to someone else to wear”. Silver said, her heart beating so fast as she wasn’t pleased with what he was wearing. “Please tell me you’re not going out with me like this?”. She asked while following him from behind.
“Are you jealous?”. Dante turned around to face her direction and asked when he was out of the house. She bumped into him with her head hitting his chest which restrained her from moving any further.
“Jealous?”. She sneered and scoffed. “Yeah right”. She puffed out. “Our relationship is just an act, it’s a game so im…im…im not bothered”. Silver stuttered while avoiding her gaze from meeting his eyes. She ran to the empty street and began jogging in order not to get distracted by his face.
He followed her from behind,”Why can’t you just admit it”. Dante started.
“Admit what?”. Silver asked, trying to avoid him as she jog aimlessly.
“That you like me”
She burst into a boisterous laughter,”I don’t like you Dante, you’re just a one night stand to me and it’s only a matter of four days and all this acting will be over ”. Silver said.
“Oh really?”. Dante asked which made her paused and turned to look at him as she wanted him to see the serious look on her face.
“You’re not my type”. Silver blandly.
He froze, impaled by her respond. That was straightforward; he thought. “Oh…that was a…”
“Yes i know but good thing you’re gonna get paid for acting as my fiance, right”. She chuckled with her utterance.
“Wow”. Dante mumbled as he spotted a lady jogging by the side of the street. She was facing his direction so he took time to admire her bouncing boobs while she jogged.
“Money is everything”. Silver said.
“Look at that booty”. Dante said, watching as the lady’s ass bounced while she jogged past him.
Silver followed his gaze and was shocked when she realized that he wasn’t referring to her but the lady running along the street,”Are you checking her out?”. She asked but didn’t respond. Instead he turned and began following the hot lady from behind. “DANTE!!!”. She screamed out his name but got no respond in return as his focus was on the dashing lady asset. She tried to run after him to stop him from leaving with another woman, but stumbled against a stone and fell down on the ground. “Owww…”. She yelped in pain but Dante didn’t seem to notice. She sat up and buckled her knee up to her chest to observe her injured knee. She had a slide cut which was bleeding.
“Are you hurt?”
She heard a soft voice asked but didn’t care to look up as her eyes lingered on her knees,”No thanks, I’m fine”. Silver responded nonchalantly.
“Here”. An opened hand came right in front of her view. “Let me help you up”. The voice said with a kind gesture before she traced her gaze up to the man’s face who was offering to help out. Silver eyes widened to her greatest surprise, recognizing him to be JASON her…
