Chapter <b>57 </b>
“This This is not a resort.” I pointed out the obvious <b>as </b>we stepped out of the SUV and our luggage was being wheeled down the wooden <b>pathway</b>.
Hayley held my hand and looked around but she was still amazed. I was too but I was just a little confused.
“I know. Last minute change of ns. This is my own personal greecian escape.” Dante said like this. <b>was </b>nothing at all.
Instead of being taken to a normal resort, we were on what I could only assume had been a private ind. It definitely looked like that. Arge, unfathomabley built 3 story house had stood on all its simplistic glory in the middle of the ind surrounded by a very hotel like set <b>up</b>.
The house was a perfect mix between ss and walls and I could only imagine how beautifully one could catch the view from inside through thoserge ss panels. Since the ind was so secluded, I doubted that it mattered whether or not there would be ack of privacy.
“I love it.” Hayley had given her approval like she had taken time to think it over.
Dante let out breathyugh. “Wait until you see the inside.” He reached for her hand and motioned for me to follow him down the same wooden pathway out bags had went.
As I followed his lead, I looked around the ind and saw a tennis court in the distance, a few jet skis bouncing on the water’s edge where it had been docked and I made a mental note to get to it at some point during the week.
Dante paused at therge oak door before pushing it open. “Wee to Spiti Tis Iremías.” He announced and waited for Hayley to enter first since she was already leaping past him.
“What does that mean<b>?</b>” Hayley queried as we walked through the foyer.
“It means house of serenity.” He tranted it for her and she nodded once before looking around.
The interior was so simple yet so outstanding from the light coloured blinds rolled up revealing therge window features that over looked the rippling movement of the water to the dark wooden flooring that contrasted perfectly.
A fully fitted kitchen was situated to put left as we entered further boasting fancy equipment and neat marble counters that match therge ind that sat in the middle. A long wooden table able to seat eight was set up across the kitchen closest to the ss windows allowing for the perfect view whilst one ate. The other room that was situated on the ground floor was arger than life living
<b>room</b><b>. </b>
There was no bedrooms or any thing of that sort on this floor which meant that just these three functions were reserved for the first floor. It allowed the space to breath and not be over crowded.
“Where is my room?” Hayley asked eagerly since she hadn’t spotted any rooms so far.
Dante looked at her with a sparkle in his eyes. “Oh, I have a room for you but you’re going to have
to climb up some stairs.” He prepared her and she was all too eager.
“I can race you up the stairs. She challenged and Dante raised an intrigued brow at her.
“I will win.” He said to her and she stuck her tongue out at him.
“I’m faster than you.” She countered before darting her eyes up the wide stairs that had enough space for five people to walk at once.
Hayley didn’t break her eye contact with Dante until she was ready to cut him and she did. She swung around and began charging up the stairs causing my heart to leap in my chest.
“<b>That </b><b>is </b>not fair!” Dante called out behind her but charged right after her but he was purposely slow letting her stay on the lead until they reached thending so she could win.
“I beat you! I beat you.” I heard Hayley cheer as I did my steady ascend of the stairs meeting them on the second floor.
“We still have one more set of stairs to get to the bedrooms.” Dante told Hayley and she grimaced as she looked around the space.
“Then what is on this level?” She frowned.
“A game room, a gym, and a theatre.” Hayley and I looked at him stupendously.
“A home theatre?” Hayley queried making sure she heard correctly.
Dante nodded. “Yes. Like a cinema except it’s morefortable and you don’t have to wait in line for a ticket. He exined and Hayley was already beyond impressed.
“I definitely want to watch a movie in there. I’ve never been to the movie theatre before.” She said. and that was true but only because Hayley didn’t express any interest in going to one.
“We have all week to do whatever you want! He reassured her before looking up the next flight of stairs.
“For now, we race.” He said to her and the both of them began at the same time up the stairs but I saw Dante hop on the same step whilst Hayley sped in front of him.
She made thending before him and she danced her victory yelling out how she was way faster than Dante. Dante yed the part of the sore loser perfectly just to appease her and I couldn’t help but smile to myself at how happy Hayley was.
“My reward could be me getting shown to my room.” Hayley spoke in a more mature voice that surprised me but then she giggled.
“Of course, your wish is mymand.” Dante reached for her hand and lead her down to the left of the wing.
There were more bedrooms in this ce than was necessary, I counted seven doors just on this wing alone and we had moved to the end of the hallway until we reached the secondst door on our right.

“This is your room. He turned the handle and pushed open the door allowing Hayley in before we followed.
Hayley’s gasp sounded through the room and my eyes widened at howrge the room <b>was </b>for Hayley but she <b>was </b>taken with it. By the look of it, he had the entire room redecorated to fit the taste of an almost 5 year old.
The style of the room deferred from the rest of tone of the interior around each <b>floor </b>and I was certain that Dante had done this just for Hayley. The entire room was a Disney princess. wondend holding features from different fairy tales and involving it to the features of the room
to make it stand out.
A book shelf was mounted to the far right of the room resembling very closely to the one in beauty and the beast. The bed that was situated in the middle of the room against the wall was housed by a four poster bed with gold fittings and drapings around it to look just like one you’d find in the movies. A rug that was a replica of the one in ddin sat in front of the bed and a brocade encrusted oval mirror was fixed above a dresser. Let me not get started on the show case of trinkets and baubles like a miniature version of Cindere’s shoe or the goldenmp or even the tiara of Repunzels. All the princess and movies Hayley was more than familiar with.
“This. Is. The. Most. Amazing. Room. Ever!” She said in absolute awe as she trying to take in all of it
at once.
I could see her get a bit over excited <b>as </b>she tried to process it all but she loved carefully around the room and looked at every thing she could see.
“I am very happy you like it, Hayley. I tried to get my team to do this on very short notice.” He said to her with a breath of relief.
“It is perfect.” She looked at him with so much of love in her eyes before wrapped her arms around his knees.
“Hey, hey,” Dante reached down for her and carried her up like she weigh nothing. “You are my daughter and there is nothing that I wouldn’t do for you.” He vowed with a smile on his face.
In that moment, gone was the ruthless business man or careless ex- husband that I knew. Instead standing in this room was a just a father willing to do what ever it took to keep his child happy. A flicker of guilt cut at my insides for keeping Hayley away from all of this love and attention that Dante was showing on her.
Sure, I had my reasons and whilst they seemed relevant and reasonable then, I couldn’t help but feel like it shouldn’t have gotten in the way of them. In my defence, I did not know what to expect from Dante especially since when I did try to tell him he cut me of and after that he <b>was </b>so taken with pheobe that I couldn’t trust the truth getting out knowing what she had once attempted.
My eyes had gotten blurry out of no where but I blinked them away just in time because Hayley called for me..
“Isn’t this room perfect? I love it. I wish my room could be like this all the time.” She wiggled out of Dante’s hold and ran over to me to tug at my fingers so I could follow her around the room.
“You do love your princesses.” I pat her head gently feeling the sea breeze already take to her hair a

little bit.
After Hayley gushed over her sleeping arrangements for the next ten minutes, Dante had informed me <b>that </b>my room was to the left of Hayley’s and I assumed that his was on the right. The bedroom right at the end of the hallway had to be the master bedroom and I was curious to know just how it <b>had </b>looked.
Theyout and design of the rest of the house was magnificent and I could only imagine what the master bedroom would hold. However, I kept my thoughts to myself and moved to my designated room which, as expected, was toorge for just one person. It wasrge enough that I had my own lounge and TV set up with an en–suite bathroom that held a huge bath tub and a just asrge shower. This ce was just so over the top especially since the scenery outside of it was so breath taking that one was conflicted of whether to remain in doors ornguish peacefully in the azure blueness of outside.
The moment my b*dy had touched the soft duvet, I felt myself begin to crash. I’m sure I could take a small time nap before it <b>was </b>even noticed that I had disappeared. I tucked my hands under my face and curled in to a ball and within minutes I was fast asleep.
I couldn’t tell how long I had been asleep for but all I knew was that I had dreamt some thing <b>far </b>too tantalizing to be mentioned. A glistening golden tanned bodied man emerging from the water with nothing on but a pair of ample shorts. His hair was wet, as were his muscr b*dy from the water dripping down his b*dy.
I looked to his face and saw that it was none other than Dante smilingzily at me. He said something about joining him in the water but one thing had lead to another and I was butt n*ked with him on the sand while he ravaged me right there and then. I felt his l*ps against my n*eck, his hands on every part of my b*dy seering me where ever he dared to touch me. His thrusts grew harder and faster until I screamed his name as I came.
“Dante.” I whispered in my sleep breathily as I found my release that ripped through me so strongly that I jerked awake.
“Yes, Soph.” His voice was too real for me to have dreamt it and I knew that I was shocked awake from the sheer realness of my dream.
