Tears slide down my face as I look at her for any reaction while the doctors wired her up.No-no!My stomach tugged in and panic filled me not wanting to lose the only person I love. My breathing picked up. I kneeled by her quickly and kissed her lips, it was soft but heavy at the same time, wanting her to wake up."See I kissed you as you wanted, now wake up!" I say frantically, I just want her to show me some movement, to let me know she is fighting this and not giving up."Mr Romano, we need to treat her." One of the doctors said and I grabbed him by the collar."Listen and listen clearly, if she doesn't wake up, you will be the one laying on the bed. Dol make myself clear?" I said threateningly making him nod fast."Come on brother let them do their job. She will be ok, let's wait outside. Now let go of the collar." I hear Matteo behind me making me let go of the doctor and look at Maria who was being treated by the second doctor.She looked so numb.Then it hit me.I looked at Ma
Alesso.It's been almost four weeks since Maria was attacked and she still hasn't worked up making my worry only get worse. I didn't leave her side all four weeks, wanting to be there by her side when she wakes up. Matteo at least made me get up for eating.The first two weeks I was with her all the time but as time passed I started engaging in training attempting to not think of the worst. I had her move to our room and not in the infirmary to feel close to her but it felt empty even though she was there. I was getting more panic attacks nowadays, they were frequent but of short duration.My search for the contract and Aron didn't stop. He was not spotted anywhere till now, last seen was in a bar and then at the airport, he was no longer in Italy. But we did find out that he works for the Russian mafia. We did bomb four of their warehouses and stole two shipments to get a hold of Dmitry. I let out all off my aggression on Ivan, Maria's so-called friend who was in the warehouse baseme
MariaCan't people enter quietly?"Oh my God is she ok? I heard she woke up, is she fine?" I tilt my head to see Matteo standing by the door frame speaking impatiently making me smile at his worry for me."I am fine." I say with a smile making him look internally relieved."Good, now I can rest in peace." He says with playful exhaustion making me chuckle.Even though how hard I try, I can never see these two men hurt me. They have never shown that as their intention, from the beginning they showed me love and compassion and never once scared me or made me feel uncomfortable."Ok, I'll let you two catch up and Ill be downstairs if you need me." He said making me nod and he closed the door when he left.I looked at Alesso who still held the glass in his hand."Who was the person who attacked?" I broke the silence making him look at me."We found of his name was Aron, and my men are in on it. Don't worry you won't be in danger again." He said with guilty eyes and was about to hold my han
No perspective."Because we have met before when you were eight Maria, thirteen years ago." Words registered in her mind slowly as she kept looking at him dumbfounded.He looked at their held hands, struggling to think the next words to say."What do you mean thirteen years ago? I have never- I would have remembered you- its-" Maris said as she frantically ran her hand through her hair."You were too young to recollect, we all were." "All? Who all were there?" She asked hurriedly. Alesso glimpsed at her worried, she had already been in an accident and had found out about his true life, he didn't want her to be more stressed than she already was."Tell me!" Maria said it like it was her last straw."We all were. Me, you, your family, my family and Angelo." He confessed to her making Maria's lips part in shock."All were there? How? Tell me everything," She asked showing a bit of curiosity as she folded her legs and sat up straight."Are you sur-""Yes Alesso, no holding back. Please
Walking back, she handed a few of them to the boys. Matteo and Alesso were confused as to what she was doing but took the cookie from her making her light up."Grazie." Alesso said with an adoration making Maria's cheeks red, she was fascinated by that foreign language which was similar to what Angelo used.(Thank you) Alesso never had friends or people who would care that much about him. They usually used to avoid him and makesnarky remarks making him feel as if he did something wrong. He was only having Matteo and his busy parents and that is why this gesture made him feel something as she said a small your welcome under her breath."I am Maria and that is my sister Nora and my brother Theo." She said as she pointed at them making Theo and Nora give an awkward hello."I am Alesso and this is my bother Matteo and Zamar." Alesso said and Maria smiled at them but Zamar didn't return her one making her smile fall.Noticing this Alesso picked another cookie fronm the tray with a smile t
"Alesso got a crush." Matter blurted out making Alesso look at him wide-eyed and the others gawk at him in surprise.They were not expecting that response. Both Angelo and Vincent exchanged glances with each other and then looked at Alesso who was red with embarrassment who was looking at Maria making them laugh out hard. This didn't help the reddening Alesso who was now very shy of being caught. Anna and Georgia snickered under their breath while Michael was fuming at what he said."Who knew my son will find a liking in your daughter Angelo." Vincent said in between his laughs making Michael snap his head to Vincent who's laughter died down immediately after realising what he said.Angelo panicked at the sudden reveal and glanced at Anna whose breath caught in mid-air. There it is, that pregnant silence making the kids nervous especially Matteo because he thought he did something wrong. Michael looked at Anna for confirmation and she avoided her gaze and looked down at her lap. His e
"How could you do this!? How could you be so inhumane?!" Anna cried out, running her hands through her hair."Just like how you spread your fucking legs for Angelo." He found it amusing seeing that there will be a proper punishment.Angelo lost his patients now and pulled out his gun making Nora and Maria scream in fear. They didn't know what actually happened with Angelo and their father. This brought the adults attention to them and realising the children just witnessed this. Seeing this Angelo knocks out Micheal with the back of his gun making him unconscious."We need to think fast before someone puts a bet..." Vincent said under his breath not finding the right words."How much- did he put?" He felt disgusted, not wanting to say those words in front of her family and her.Angelo picked the phone and looked at the screen where the bets were already being placed and had reached ffty million making his stomach drop. Human Trafficking is illegal in the world but is very legal in the
Maria.It took me some time to register what Alesso had said. I was knowing him before when I was eight, I came here to this very house. Nora was alive, Alesso's psychotic brother Zamar was also there and I talked back to him. Fear crept in me when a few of the memory glimpses carme into my mind of that day. I could vaguely remember it was Christmas and I entered the mansion, nothing important but when Alesso filled me in the details, the memories joined everything together."Please say something," Alesso said scooting over so he was beside me leaning against the bedpost, holding my hand as if I would just abandon him if he let go."I don't know what to say," I murmured letting out a sigh. "I have so many questions." I didn't look at him and kept my eyes on our hands."You can ask me anything, I won't hold back Maria. Please just, don't be afraid of me." I could hear he was nervous to know my reaction.He doesn't get it does he?"I am afraid," I took a deep breath as I murmured."Ple
