Coran's pov.

I politely exchanged a handshake with her then I excused myself, “I have an urgent matter to attend to now, I hope you won't mind.”

Dr Navia shook her head and responded, “Oh, that's fine. I will also take a nap before I visit the patient,” Joe and a few men that were around surrounded her luggages and helped her with them while I entered the car and stepped on the pedal all the way to the clinic.

I know that with the speed I drove, a hefty sum would have been added to my tab but who cares? All I want is just to set my gaze on Ava.

I pulled up in the car park and as usual, I found my way to the ward room where Ava was now awake and was facing the opposite direction. I slowly walked in, minding each and every footstep of mine so that I wouldn't end up alerting her.

Just then, I felt a hand tug at my shirt from behind. The person turned out to be Jessica who instantly placed her hand on my lips to shut me up.

I glanced at the clueless Ava before following Jessica out for d

    Ava's pov.“Here is your supplement, make sure you take it daily so that you will be strong enough to handle this pregnancy,” Jessica said and passed me a bag full of medicines.I thanked her and kept it in a safe space, knowing fully well that Coran would soon be here to pick me up. He left in the evening after we finalize the contract agreement, with the promise to return very early this morning.Jessica gave me a peck then prepared to leave, her hand was already on the knob when she stopped and returned back to my side with a baffling frown on her forehead.“I know you are still mad at me for keeping many things from you and I am willing to explain everything to you anytime you are ready. Also, I don't think keeping this pregnancy away from Coran is a good decision on your path, why don't you tell him so that he can protect you two?” She suggested.Truthfully, Jessica's action pained me even though I have been trying very hard to forgive her but I am still feeling skeptical about t

    Ava's pov With a creased eyebrow, I glanced at the extra cheerful woman before switching my questioning gaze back to coran who just winked at me.I swallowed back my breath then i proceeded inside, totally ignoring the woman since I couldn't match up with the negative energy surrounding her.“You could have at least replied to her greetings,” Coran said as soon as he dropped my bags in a safe corner. I don't know whether he just wanted me to be polite or he is supporting the girl but anyone it is, I chose to ignore him.“You need to see how cute you look right now, I think I should sign up for your feisty side,” he teased with my face turning crimson red. I was still trying to hide the fact that I was blushing when he spoke again, “ Aren't you so cute with your red face? You look like a squishy adorable doll,”If he was trying to make me laugh then he won because I didn't hesitate to show all my perfect dentition. I picked up my flip flop and threw it at him which he dodged perfectl

    Ava's pov “Ava! Ava! It's not what you think, believe me,” Coran called out as he ran after me but all I want right now is to get away from him and have my personal thoughts. Tears clouded my vision as I ran all the way to only God knows where. Finally, when i stopped hearing footsteps behind me, I began walking slowly till I found myself in a totally new place. “ Wow!” I admired it, almost forgetting what led me here. The scenery In Front of me was full of vibrant colors, the sweet and rich scent coming out of the flowers made me inhale softly. Everywhere looked like a place from Disneyland especially with the butterflies everywhere. The childish part of me wanted me to explore and I began to move slowly, touching and admiring the beauty of nature. I never knew something as captivating as this was here. Even with my tear stained face, I was so lost in my newly found garden tour that I didn't remember to check the ground that had been covered by weeds. Just then, I felt a sharp

    Chapter 38Ava's pov I would have ignored her word but curiosity got the best part of me, making me turn to her direction. Dr Navia smiled at the eager reaction she got from me and proceeded hinting at more words.“I bet you still don't believe me but let me tell you, Alessia was Coran's first and his only true love, she was the one that requested for that garden as her birthday gift and Coran agreed. Jessica can testify to what I am saying because they chose and arranged the flowers together,” she took a deep breath and left the stair passage.I also came down to hear more of what she wanted to say, “Everything was good until Alessia got pregnant for Coran which he denied and broke ties with him completely; some months later, Alessia wanted to abort the pregnancy which finally led to her death. This pained Coran so much that he had to vacate the garden and he also instructed everyone not to near the garden.”“But I went there and he did nothing to me,” I refuted immediately and this

    Chapter 39Jessica's povI stared through the door at the bunch of girls stealing glances at Dr Luca, who was busy with the patient he was operating on. “Cut,” he called my attention back and I passed the scissors across the thread, we continued this process till he was finally done stitching the wound.All the medical tools we used were dumped in the tray for sterilization while we began to prepare to leave the theater. “Can you adjust my rim for me?” He requested after changing out of the surgical glasses. I leaned closer and pushed his facial rim backward.“Observe the patient’s response before you wheel her to the ICU,” Luca turned and informed one of the nurses before we both left with him walking at the front.Luca went straight to his changing room while I proceeded to the restroom to do my regular girl's business.

    Chapter 40Ava's pov“Do you know Alessia?” I dropped the bombshell. I have been trying to take my mind off what Dr Navia said but everything was too real and connected for me to ignore… more so, she also mentioned Jessica's name without actually meeting her in person.Jessica deliberately feigned ignorance and answered, “is she your friend? Do you want me to search for her?” Anger riled up in my chest and I responded in a tensed voice, “I am in no mood for jokes Jessy, who is Alessia to coran?” She went silent over the phone for some time and I could hear her surroundings becoming more silent, it seemed like she was… changing location.“Don't I deserve an answer?”“Can you take a chill pill Ava? I needed to change my location to somewhere more comfortable to talk,” she sharply replied, making me feel a hint of guilt for talking to her like that.I could hear the faint movement of her leg over the phone till she finally stopped in God knows where, “ can you hear me now?” she finally

    Chapter 41Ava's pov My intuition was telling me to go back for the computer but it was too late, coupled with the fact that I was also very tired. I waved off the idea and went inside to sleep.…“You don't want to get late to work and miss the event,”I heard Coran's voice in my head, the voice sounded far away but it managed to alert my sanity.I stretched, groaned and stood up from the bed. Dressed in a six piece suit was coran who was standing at a measurable distance from my bed with his two hands in his pocket.“You heard me this time around, didn't you?”;he asked with a smile.Wait…“That wasn't a dream? Did you actually speak to me while I was asleep?” He nodded and I palmed my face in shyness. I actually thought it was a dream, but it turned out that it wasn't.“This is almost 7;30 in the morning,” he said, taking a quick glance at his wristwatch. His words resonated in my head, then I remembered my design on my computer I forgot in the office. I jumped up and ran all the w

    Chapter 42Ava's povI was beyond shocked when I heard her name, I was too flabbergasted to even take her outstretched hand. Almost immediately, she called my attention back.“Hi, do you mind introducing yourself as well?” She asked, waving her hand at my face.I managed to give a fake smile and I took her outstretched hand in a warm handshake.“Your hand is so soft and cute. I would also have fallen in love with you if I was a guy,” she complimented. I don't know whether she was deliberately hinting at something or she was just genuinely complimenting me.“Thank you, my name is Ava,” I replied, wanting to keep the conversation very Short but It seemed like she already knew me and was just here to keep me in the conversation.“Are you also part of the participants here?” she pestered and I briefly nodded my head in answer.She continued and said, “I am also here to participate, I returned late from abroad so my company has already concluded theirs.

    Luca's POVI stepped out of the bathroom as I rolled the condom packet between my fingers with a lazy smirk already playing on my lips.Jessica had been the one pushing for this, and fuck, I was already getting excited thinking about how much I wanted her—how much I had always wanted her. I guess taking things slowly wasn't in the cards for her. "Hey, you might want to—" I was saying but then I froze.She wasn’t there, She wasn't in the room, on the couch where I last saw her. I frowned as my eyes scanned the living room. The spot on the couch where she had been sitting was empty.Perhaps she was thirsty after the steamy moment."Jessica?" I called out as I glanced towards the kitchen. No response.A strange feeling had already begun to crawl up my spine, the kind of unease that didn’t make sense yet. Maybe she was in the other bathroom? I walked toward the door, listening. Silence.She still wasn't anywhere.Is she trying to play games with me? I wondered. Jessica really wasn't the

    Jessica’s POVI should have known Ava wouldn’t let this slide.The moment she got me alone after I had agreed to go on a date with Luca, I could see it all over her face—the disapproval, the concern, the desperate urge to shake me out of what she believed was a mistake.I understood that she didn't want me to have to go through that trauma but I promise I was fine. "You can't be serious about this, Jess," she said with her arms crossed as she stood in front of me like a mother about to scold her child. "A date? With him?" She asked me incredulous. I let out a sigh, I had already anticipated this conversation. I knew she was speaking out of a place of concern but I could handle myself. "Ava—" I was saying. "No, hear me out," she cut in as I saw the way her eyes burned with something close to frustration. "I'm not saying Luca's a bad guy, okay? I actually think he's annoyingly charming in his own way. But you... you've been through so much, Jess. Are you sure you can handle this?"

    Jessica’s POVI wasn't supposed to be know what he was going to say. At least, that’s what Ava had whispered to me the moment Luca showed up and Coran had called him away to speak with him. Ava had reached for my hand when I wanted to follow them and she had tried to pull me away from going with them. “Leave it to Coran,” she had urged me in a low but urgent voice. “You really don’t need this right now.” she had said to me and she was right, I didn’t need this. I didn’t need Luca showing up at Coran’s house, invading a space that had finally started feeling safe for me. I sure as hell didn’t need the way my heart stuttered the moment I sst my eyes on him, nor the way the world suddenly seemed to shrink down to just his presence the moment o noticed him standing there. But none of that stopped me from standing up and ignoring Ava’s grip."I'm just going to check up on them and let them be." I said to her as I ignored Navia's eyes on me and I quietly followed Luca and Coran as they d

  • Entangled with the Mafia Boss    Doing what is right

    Luca's POV I wasn’t supposed to be here,I know that much but the moment I heard Navia casually mention a barbecue at Coran’s place—and the fact that Jessica might be there, I shut my thinking.I already had it planned out, I was visiting a friend in Milan. An old pal, but upon hearing that she was going to be at Coran's place on Saturday, I just knew that this was my chance to see her and if I got lucky, get to speak to her. I had called, rescheduled my visit to Milan for a few more days and prepared to visit Coran's mansion when no one was suspecting. I had spent days trying to figure out where Jessica had disappeared to and everyone refused to tell me, they were all acting clueless. Not Ava, not Coran, and definitely not Jessica herself as she had somehow either deactivated her phone or blocked me from contacting her. It was like she had vanished into thin air, and I had been left with nothing but restless nights and this growing frustration that gnawed at me at every thought of

  • Entangled with the Mafia Boss    Ava's invitation

    Jessica's pov The afternoon sun was warm and it's golden rays were sprawled over estate as I pulled up to the gates of Ava and Coran’s mansion. I had debated coming because I was a bit hesitant for reasons I didn’t want to acknowledge, but Ava had been persistent, She kept texting and bothering me. Begging that I came. What had finally pulled me to the bathroom was a particular voicemail she sent to me. "Jessica, it's just a casual barbecue. You need to get out of your apartment for once," she had insisted over the phone. "And before you ask—no, Luca won’t be there. He’s traveling to Milan for a few days. You won’t see him, I promise." Those were her exact words. That promise had been the only reason I had agreed on visiting. Well, plus the fact that it's been days since I last saw Coran. He wasn't one to bother me, but I knew he wanted to see me as well. Now, as I stepped out of my car and adjusted my sunglasses against the blinding sunlight, the sight of the grand villa stole

  • Entangled with the Mafia Boss    Coran is angry

    Luca’s POVI was still at the hospital with my mind still reeling from the photos Nadia had shown me earlier, when my phone vibrated in my pocket. I didn’t even check the caller ID before answering.“What?” I snapped impatiently into the receiver speaker. “Get to my house. Now.” Coran’s voice was sharp and his tone left absolutely no room for argument. I frowned. “What the hell is this about?” I demanded. “You know exactly what it’s about.” His tone was controlled, but there was an edge of something that resembled a hardly contained anger under his voice. “Get here, Luca. Or I’ll come to you.” he threatened. The line went dead before I could respond, I let out a harsh breath as my jaw clenched. What was this? I get that Coran could be overbearing and too demanding at times, this could probably be just some emergency. Perhaps an integral part of his Mafia family like Lorenzo was in an emergency and needed to be treated on as soon as possible and he needed my help but whatever thi

    Chapter FourJessica’s POVI sat curled up on my couch with my knees tucked to my chest while staring blankly at the untouched pizza box on my coffee table. The TV was on and some mindless show was playing with the volume on mute.My fingers dug into the soft fabric of the blanket which I had wrapped around me. It was more or less a very feeble attempt at comfort that did nothing at all, to say the least to ease the chaos inside me.I had locked myself inside my apartment since last night and had tried to use that as a means to shut out the world. My phone was off and my laptop was closed. The only sound that filled the space in my apartment was the occasional drip of water from my kitchen faucet. But even with all the silence I simply couldn’t quiet my mind.Because all I could think about was him.Luca.I clenched my jaw as my stomach twisted with what felt like guilt and self-loathing.They had become my companion now. Admittedly, I enjoyed it. I enjoyed every single second of i

    Chapter 3Luca's POV I walked into the hospital the next day and was greeted by the usual sterile scent of disinfectant that instantly filled my lungs. The place was as busy as usual—doctors and nurses moved around with purpose, while patients were wheeled down corridors. Conversations naturally blended with the occasional beep of heart monitors. A typical scenerio of a busy hospital. As I stepped my foot into the office room, something felt off... Jessica's usual cheerful self wasn’t anywhere to be found, everywhere was quiet and sad. I swallowed hard as I dropped my folder bag on the chair.I carefully checked the locker room, the changing room and even the damn supply closet where she sometimes stay whenever she wants to avoid paperwork. Nothing.I clenched my jaw as I pulled out my phone, prepared to call her.The call went through but soonest, I got the same response I have been getting since the previous day... Voicemail.“Jess, where the hell are you? Call me back.” I said in

    Chapter TwoLuca's POVI let out a groan and stirred as sunlight filtered through the half-open blinds of the hotel room and another tired moan escaped my lips. My body felt warm—too warm. I reached out instinctively and my fingers grazed the empty sheets beside me. The place felt warm but the spot was vacant. I let out a frown as I turned my head. The bed was unmade and the sheets were in disarray. I took in a deep breath and instantly I recognized the unmistakable scent of jasmine and vanilla that still clung to the fabric. It was a very familiar scent. Jessica’s scent.And then realization hit me. .JESSICA'S SCENT! Holy shit.Now fully awake, my eyes widened as fragmented images from the previous night surged through my mind. The wedding. The drinks. Yes. I remembered them all. The laughter.
