She thought blinking at the bright lights around her,‘What was the point of anything without Luca?’The voice in her head said and pain exploded inside her,‘I’ve had enough’She did not realize she had spoken the words out loud and the whole studio fell silent, she rubbed her eyes confused,‘Why wouldn’t her brain work?’‘I’m sorry’The words were slurred as she pushed herself to her feet unsteadily,‘Luca’That word was distinct and filled with all her pain as the camera zoomed in she collapsed into the young Consultants arms, he scooped her up and carried her off the set shouting at the people fussing around them, ‘Call 911, suspected overdose, request immediate support, not knowing what had been taken. Tell them Professor Laurent on the scene.’Lissa lay still and lifeless in his arms as he carried her out into the Reception just as an ambulance pulled up. He wasted no time climbing into the back he said simply,‘Hit the Blues guys and step on it. I think we may be too late.’A
Soft, sweet, and loving, it danced around her mind, cajoling, persuading, and then begging, saying it was sorry over and over again. Every time she came back into consciousness it was there and it meant something to her, she felt it, deep in her psyche. She needed to be with that voice.‘I would like your permission to remove the breathing tube and all our other interventions Sir’The Consultant stood before Luca, shocked at the deterioration in the man, it had been almost a month since Lissa had been brought into the hospital and he had never left her side.‘Remove?’‘Yes Sir, none of it is doing her any good now. We’ve given her all the medical help we can Sir. There is barely any brain function, I need to know if she wants to live.’The Consultant looked at Luca kindly, the shock was evident on the Pakhan’s face,‘Wants?’‘I need to see if she will fight Sir’He said and Luca exploded,‘Will you stop talking in riddles and just fucking explain’He yelled irritably and the Consultan
The woman would not take no for an answer, Luca rebuffed her gently at first, shaking his handsome head and pushing her away when she came back again he was more forceful telling her he was not interested and to keep her hands to herself. She did not listen, flirting openly she rubbed her hand across his crotch suggestively and he grabbed her wrists pinning her hands by her sides,‘You want to be fucked?’His men had quickly surrounded him so no one could see what he did,‘She had looked up at him coyly and said,‘I’m willing if you are’The look of disgust on his face made her realize her mistake,‘I do not fuck whores’He hissed,‘But you are going to find out my men are not so fussy’He pushed her at Mikel,‘The Capo’s ready for a little fun?’Mikel grimaced at his Pakhan,‘You know those young Bucks are always ready’He growled at Luca grabbing the Nurse, quickly without anyone noticing the Bratva Guards removed the Nurse easily and took her down to the waiting surveillance van. W
‘Take her’Luca sprang forward and half a dozen guns were aimed at him,‘Don’t be foolish Bratva, it would be a shame to destroy your little Charity bash now wouldn’t it? Think of the headlines’ Bratva turn Charity into a bloodbath’ I rather like that, but is it worth it for one little pussy?’He turned away,‘If you do as you are told I might return her when I’ve tamed her’Nikita and Dmitri held the Pakhan back until the Mafia had left,‘It’s okay Pakhan Mikel is already tracking them. While he tried to make you angry our men fixed trackers to all their vehicles. The men have been mobilized, let's go and get her back.’Luca nodded an apology to the Organiser and Nikita promised a large donation would arrive the following day as they left the Ball hurriedly.Lissa was thrown into the back of a van that sped off at high speed, every instinct inside her now was in full protective mood, she had to protect her little jellybean, she smiled softly,‘You’re not a jellybean now little one,
She hissed and he sneered tightening his arm around her,‘Not a fucking chance beautiful, you came to me so when I get you out of here we are going to have a lot of fun’He smirked letting his hand roam up and cup her breast squeezing it painfully she spun in his arms using his movement and taking him by surprise,‘I don’t fucking think so’She smirked pressing the gun against him he lunged for her hand but she squeezed the trigger and he gasped in shock releasing her he sank to the floor. Lissa stood still the gun in her hand and blood on her clothing, his blood, she stared at him surprised that she felt nothing as she watched him die. She wasn’t even aware she was trembling until Nikita gently took the gun from her and Luca scooped her into his arms and she relaxed into the warmth of his body against hers.‘Luca?’It was a question and he whispered,‘I’m here’She started to cry softly,‘I’m so sorry’His grip tightened but he said nothing and she broke, her body shaking with silent
‘I know where she is’Mylene came back into the office, her face pale and her eyes red but she was calm,‘Well not the address but if she’s in England she will be in her birthplace, Lissa has gone home to Manchester Luca’Luca looked at the other girl,‘Thank you, Mylene’His voice was soft and full of gratitude,‘Don’t thank me, Luca, go and find her and bring her home because trust me, it's you she loves no one else, you are her world and I would bet the life of my unborn child that she is suffering because she’s not with you’Mylene was right, Lissa was finding it a struggle just to get through each day, she barely ate, only remembering when the baby kicked in protest forcing her to find sustenance. She ate because she had to not because she wanted to as the food tasted of nothing, she tried to be healthy by eating only fruit and salad because it required no preparation.Her neighbours felt sorry for her, when she ventured out they saw a sad frightened young girl barely able to loo
Belinda had just stood to get them all a drink and glanced out of the window as the four stunningly handsome men stepped out of it. They all wore expensive handmade black suits, and beautiful crisp white shirts three of them wore black ties the fourth wore a green one. That they were rich and powerful was obvious as they strode confidently towards Melissa’s apartment block, there was no doubt in her mind this was the baby’s father. She said nothing there was no point in upsetting the young woman she was about to see him anyway no one would have dared to stop them, they excluded danger. The loud rap on the door made her jump even though she was expecting it her soft gasp made Melissa look up sharply and then stare intently at the door where Georgia was answering.Lissa knew, before the door opened, she knew it was him and her whole body sang with happiness she could smell him and her body was already responding. She remained frozen in her chair her eyes locked on the door with her arm
It was something they had talked about when she was recovering and they had all said what they would like to do if they had the opportunity. She scrolled through her phone and showed him a large farmhouse surrounded by acres of land with stables and kennels and almost everything they would need to start their sanctuary. She had been messing around on the internet while they tidied her apartment and told them she had found their dream and when she reached twenty-one and came into her money she would buy it for them as a thank you for all they had done for her. The two women had laughed and thanked her thinking it was all a game to the pretty young woman now she handed her phone to Nikita,‘Buy them this and open a Charity Account with some money in it to keep them going until they can get established. Use the money in my account there is more than enough to cover it, make sure they have whatever changes they need to make too’Luca had left her to sleep taking her phone he had spoken to
