Description:

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. The rain hammered against the floor-to-ceiling windows of the penthouse office, each drop like a bullet against the glass. Isabella Rosetti pressed her palms against the cold surface, watching the city blur into watercolor streaks forty stories below. The weight of her father's debts felt heavier than the storm clouds gathering outside. "Miss Rosetti?" The voice behind her was silk wrapped around steel, cultured and dangerous in equal measure. She turned slowly, her breath catching as her eyes met those of Dante Moretti. The man who held her family's future in his perfectly manicured hands. He stood behind an obsidian desk that probably cost more than her father's restaurant made in a year, his dark suit immaculate despite the late hour. Everything about him screamed power, from the Rolex glinting on his wrist to the way he commanded the space around him without moving. "Mr. Moretti." Her voice came out steadier than she felt. "Thank you for seeing me." "Desperation makes for interesting conversations." He gestured to the leather chair across from his desk with a hand that bore a single platinum ring—no wedding band, she noticed with unwanted awareness. "Please, sit." Isabella remained standing, needing whatever advantage height might give her, though at five-foot-six she still had to look up to meet his gaze. "I came to discuss my father's debt." "Ah yes. Giuseppe Rosetti. Charming man. Terrible gambler." Dante's lips curved in something that might have been a smile if it had reached his eyes. "Three million dollars is quite a sum." The number hit her like a physical blow, though she'd known it was coming. Hearing it spoken aloud made it real in a way that sleepless nights and her father's tear-stained confessions hadn't. "There has to be some arrangement we can make. A payment plan, perhaps." Duration - 55m. Author - Xandra Nachtschatten. Narrator - Digital Voice Michelle G. Published Date - Monday, 20 January 2025.
