Chapter: Chapter 21Alexandra walked towards the window,her hands crossed as she stared out watching the flickering hospital light. The room was enveloped in a comforting silence.Luca sat on the door watching her,a faint smile on his lips. The wound on his shoulder long forgotten."A penny for your thought? You must be thinking of an exit right now" He said in an amused tone.Alexandra didn't turn around to face him. "I just think we are not that close to cover up with a lie that big"Luca exhaled, clearly enjoying it. "You're angry""I'm not" She replied. If anything she enjoyed it too. It made her feel... important. "It's just happening so fast, that's it"Finally,she turned to face him, eyes staring at his which stared back at her with so much intensity. She could feel the butterflies in her stomach fluttering under his gaze. "I'm just... I don't know. You know what... forget it"Luca continued to stare at her enjoying her flustered expression. His lips curved up into a smirk which reached his eyes.

Chapter: Chapter 20Meanwhile, outside the hospital,an angry Adele stomped towards the parking lot, her pointed heels clicking harshly against the pavement. Her Hermes birkin, swinging wildly by her side."What did he mean by fiancee?" She thought out loud.She felt more insulted that she was being replaced by someone beneath her. It felt like a slap on the face that a lowlife like Alexandra was engaged to her supposed to be husband. He has to be joking... I already told all my friends that we were getting married,she said to herself. Her father had promised her that she was going to get married to Luca and she wasn't going to sit back and allow anybody take him from her.Adele released a frustrated hmph, throwing her bag at a nearby trash can,not caring that people were staring at her."Hey,hey, whoa —relax there tiger"A deep voice laced with amusement rang out, and Adele turned around,her eyes in a menacing glare.Marcus Sinclair leaned against the hood of his car casually, his strong arms crossed ov

Chapter: Chapter 19Alexandra stared at Adele for a very long, tense moment, noticing how her painted lips twisted in disdain, the way her fist clenched loosely at her side.Adele's face turned red with anger as she repeated the question again."Are you deaf? Who are you and what are you doing here? Are you a nurse?"Alexandra was about to respond with some of the snarky comments that made it's way into her head when Luca's voice boomed in the room."Don't talk to her that way. She's my fiancee"The room fell into a pin drop silence. The temperature in the room seemed to have dropped drastically.Alexandra's gaze snapped to Luca in shock. What did he mean by that?A mix of disbelief and horror crossed Adele's face, her lips parting slightly unsure of what to say before an ugly scowl rested on her face."You did not just say what I think you did. What did you just... What?" She stuttered,her voice raised to a very high pitch.Luca ran a hand through his hair in frustration, his facial expression blank as

Chapter: Chapter 18Alexandra was about to say something in response when a loud noise outside distracted her. It seemed like there was a commotion outside the hospital room. They could hear angry voices and hurried footsteps outside in the hallway which was accompanied by the sharp clatter of heels on the marbled floor.Then,the door opened suddenly with a loud and harsh slam revealing a very beautiful woman,her luscious dark hair in perfect waves over her shoulders. Her makeup looked like it was applied expertly by a professional but her face was twisted in anger as she glared at the tiny nurse on the other side of the door."What do you think you're doing by trying to stop me?" The beautiful lady spat out, anger dripping from her voice. "Do you have any idea who I am and what I can do to you?"The nurse looked flustered and appeared like she was about to burst into tears as she tried to calm the angry lady down. "Please Miss, you have to understand. Please —Mr Giorgio really needs to rest. It's very r

Chapter: Chapter 17In the dark corner of the driveway, two tall figures hid in the shadows. One of them visibly angry and the other calm as he stared at the enraged man. He clenched his fist as he glared at his friend."What the f**k,Russo?" He said through clenched teeth. "What the f**k was on your mind? What the f**k were you thinking?" Russo remained unfazed,his expression betraying no emotion as he remained silent, taking a huge puff of his cigarette. A punch landed on his face, the cigarettes falling from his lips to the slightly wet floor. He allowed his friend to vent his anger on him.The angry man continued with his attack on Russo,his face twisted into a snarl of anger. "I TOLD YOU TO CHILL THE F**K OUT" he said loudly with each punch. " We needed to keep him off our tail for now and you decide to pull this crazy stunt now"Russo, who had had enough,pushed him away. His nose was bloody from the attack. The huge scar on his face glinted under the dim light as he took a few steps away from hi

Chapter: Chapter 16Alexandra sat in the very high class restaurant as she waited for Luca. He had sent his driver to pick her up and bring her here. The restaurant was so fancy with a very serene atmosphere. A week ago, Alexandra didn't think that she'd step foot into a fancy restaurant like this today but here she was.She observed the place subtly taking in the magnificent setting. A waiter had asked her what she wanted to eat but she decided to wait for Luca to make the order. The restaurant was empty except for her and the staff. She was glad that no one was around because she was feeling a little self conscious about herself.Hearing footsteps approaching her, Alexandra turned to see Luca walking towards her. His hair was slightly tousled as though he had run his hands through them repeatedly but that didn't do anything to make him less handsome. He smiled as he noticed her looking at him which made her drop her gaze.He sat across from her, "Sorry for keeping you waiting, something…important came
