Hello, my beautiful sunshines! Thank you so much for staying with our Syl and Sandra till now! Hope you're enjoying this book! What do you think will happen now? Do you think Arianna had done something again or it's something else? Let me know in the comments! I would love to hear your thoughts!
As soon as the car screeched to a halt before Rossa, we got out. Securing my hand in a tight grip, he led us inside the VIP elevator with powerful strides. I, as well as Ron, had a hard time catching up with him.But that wasn't the issue that bothered me. It was Arianna. It was Robert. It was the dead Vincenzo Zolvesky. I still had the old photo of that man. I didn't mention it to Syl yet. I was sure he wouldn't like me snooping around Enrique's old room. He was already at the verge of losing control and killing Robert for not uttering a word even after endless torture. The ex-mayor was harder to crack than I thought. I wondered how could someone value their revenge more than their life. Maybe when one had nothing to lose. Now if anyone could tell us about why Robert chose Zolveskys to target even after knowing Vincenzo was dead, it was Arianna. And I wished with everything inside me that he was dead. I didn't want an old Italian mob boss rumored to be dead to come alive and fini
Looking to my right, my eyes found a middle aged man in a polo shirt at the opposite side of the store. As soon as my gaze met his, he looked away. Stuffing his inked hands in his pockets, he glanced around the shimmering shop filled with gold and diamond jewelries. My frown deepened. "It's Her Highness, Mrs. De Sylvano."Ron's words caught my attention back. "Diana? What does she want now?" His lips pursed. "She is not well for some days. Her doctor confirmed her deteriorating health. She has been trying to reach out to boss, but as you can expect, boss blocked her out in every way possible. So she called me."Diana was ill? She was more than fine last week. "What did she say?" I asked, feeling the stare again. But I ignored it. "She wants to see boss. She is…desperate. She wants me to tell him to take it as her last wish if he wants, but she wants to meet him."I bit my lip. Even though I had no desire to meet her again, her words…they raised an unwanted sympathy in my chest.
Distance murmurs and a rhythmic soft beat slowly pulled me to my consciousness. A warm, firm grip around my body cocooned me to its warmth like a protective shield. Intoxicating masculine crisp cologne surrounded my senses. Syl… I took a desperate breath to take more of his scent in. The rhythmic soft beats were his heartbeats as I was wrapped in his arms. Sensing my movement, his head snapped to me. Red dark icy blue eyes alert. Big calloused hand was soon to cup my cheek. "Cuore mio? Baby? You are…you are awake?" Hoarse deep voice was filled with desperation. My eyelids were heavy. A darkness was forcing me to shut my eyes again. But I wanted to talk to him, watch him… I parted my lips. But a sharp pain shot through my head. My brows pinched together. "Sandra? Talk to me, baby. Are you alright? Are you in pain?" He pulled me more into him, his face was inches away from me. An agony mixed with concern and rage etched into his features. Even if I could barely keep my eyes o
"I'm full." I pushed away the spoon he held before my lips. His eyes narrowed. "You are not. You haven't eaten anything since noon. Now finish it, then I will feed you your medicine.""I can take them myself," I grumbled, trying to move away from his lap. But that damn strong arm kept me firm against him. After our conversation, he began to treat me like a child. He changed my clothes, forced me to drink a glass of juice and when I wanted to go to the bathroom, he carried me to it. And to my utter embarrassment, he refused to leave me alone in the bathroom. He was perfectly fine seeing me pee. The nerve of this man!After a thousand pleadings with a red face from embarrassment, I made his grumbling ass stand at the door with his back to me while I did my thing. And now he made me sit on his lap and fed me the soup Maria brought for me as per his order. True to his word, he wasn't letting me out of his sight even for a second. He even ignored his phone calls and voice messages. I
"I said no…" "Syl," I cut him off, attracting his narrowed gaze to me. "You must know from Ron that she is not well. Maybe it's important. Otherwise she wouldn't want to meet me personally."I wanted to tell Syl about my doubt, but I stopped myself. I wanted to confront Diana first. Only she could tell me what Vincenzo was doing at her building. Something told me he was there for her. "I'm not letting her see you, definitely not alone. You know her nature, she dislikes you."Shaking my head, I got up from the bed. And he immediately wrapped his arm around me, holding me against him. I rolled my eyes. "I'm fine, Syl. I won't fall. And about Diana's nature, I can just handle her fine. Don't worry. After all, this won't be the first time we will have a personal conversation." He let out a grunt. "I will be there with you if you're that eager to see her."I untangled myself from his arms. His lips pursed at the distance. "No. I'm going there alone. You can attend some phone calls in t
Under the shadow of the car, his hand crawled under my dress. A shaky breath left me with his sensual kisses across my neck. Even if my legs were tightly shut while I sat on his lap, his hand forced them apart and took a perverted entry. I gasped at a rough squeeze in my inner thigh. "Syl! What are you doing? The driver can watch us!" My eyes went to the driver, who drove through the street carefully with a stiff posture. In the mirror, I could see his flushed cheeks. My own warmed at that. My caveman let out a groan, nuzzling my chest. "He won't dare to look, cuore mio. Let me feel you, it was painful enough to not have you last night."My chest thudded. Hot desire rushed through my veins as I whispered. "At least let us reach the villa first. Then you can do whatever you want."But his hands didn't abide by my suggestion. They continued to roam over my curves, sneaking to forbidden areas. "Stop! Don't behave like a caveman" I hissed in a low voice, but he only pulled me close b
Laid before us was a photo of his family framed with golden edges. The members of his family smiled brightly at the camera, except my man. He had an almost non-visible smile on. As per Maria, it was taken on Syl and Enrique's eighteenth birthday. They clicked a family photo of them four. It was a beautiful memory. But like every other memory, he had hidden it inside Enrique's old room. I glanced at him, his silence bothered me. A coldeness covered his irises as he stared at the photo. Jaw tight. Without saying a word, he turned around to leave, but I grabbed his elbow before wrapping my arms around him. "It's such a beautiful photo. Don't you think you should hang it in the living room or your bedroom?" "Sandra," he warned. Voice thick. "They are in a better place, Syl. They would want you to talk about them, smile at their memories and cherish the moments you spent with them. Not hide their memories in the darkest corner of your mansion," I said softly. "Today is your birt
"I think you should talk to the boss regarding this matter, Ms. Brooks." Ron appeared at the doorstep, nodding at the men who were moving boxes inside as a sign to leave. Once they were gone, he turned to me. One of his arms was wrapped in a shoulder sling while the side of his forehead was bruised. "Ron? What are you doing here? You should take a leave and rest," I said. "Are you alright though?"He nodded. "I'm good, Ms. Brooks. Thank you. Don't you worry, taking a rest won't keep my mind at peace. So I better work hard to make sure I continue to keep my job."Guilt washed over me. After all, he was in this position because of me. "I'm sorry, Ron. You had to face his wrath once again because of me. And the accident…" "Don't embarrass me, Miss. It was my duty to protect you." A warmth flashed across his old eyes. "You're like a daughter to me, I would do anything to keep you safe. I should be the one to apologize for not being able to stop whatever happened that day. And about bos
