“Jessie!”

I hurriedly looked around in fear that someone might have heard.

I turned back to give Jessie a piece of my mind for not being careful when I saw her shooting me a smug grin.

“See! This look suits you better.”

I raised an eyebrow. “You prefer me to have an angry expression?”

“As long as it’s not a worried expression. Relax. Everything will be fine.” Jessie assured me.

“Now come on. Let’s get your mind away from this news.”

As we continued shopping, I found myself lost in thought as my mind raced through the implications of the leaked news.

The previously enjoyable experience now turned into a rollercoaster of anxiety.

The sanctuary of the mall now felt suffocating, as if every whispering voice was talking about me.

After all, Dante was a very desirable man.

With a slightly heavy heart, I made my way back home, the weight of the tabloid revelation still clinging to me.

I couldn't escape the feeling that our lives were about to change dramatically, that the world was watching and waiting for our next move.

Chapter 22

Dante

Howdarethey!

How did they even know about my relationship with Angela?

Angela and I barely went out in public, and the rare times we did, it was at night and to places where our identities were ensured to be kept private.

While I wasn’t particularly bothered about being mentioned by the tabloid as it was something I was used to due to being a successful billionaire, I was displeased by my relationship with Angela being exposed to the public to be subjected to criticism.

By revealing my relationship with Angela, it was tantamount to attempting to taint the love we had for each other.

Fueled by a determination to protect our privacy and uncover the truth behind the leaked information, I sought out the assistance of Vito to investigate the origin of the tabloid leaks.

Sitting across from the investigator, a sense of urgency and resolve coursed through me.

"I want to know who leaked our relationship to the tabloids and I want it taken down. We deserve our privacy."

Vito’s face was solemn.

He understood the gravity of the situation and how angry I was.

"Don’t worry. I’ll do everything to get to the bottom of this." He responded.

His voice was calm and reassuring.

"I’ve already spoken to Kramaric and he has gotten someone to investigate and trace the source of the leak while I’ll work on legal avenues to address the situation."

I nodded, appreciating Vito and Kramaric’s help.

Just as I was about to delve deeper into the details, my phone buzzed with a message.
