Adriana's POV.I checked everything I wanted to take to the hospital.I tasted the food I prepared to give my mom again, before scooping it into a food flask.I put everything in the backpack I planned to take with me.Massimo gave me permission to visit my mom and I needed to know how she's faring.I sighed in relief when I reached the entrance of the hospital, but still my heart thudded against my chest when my eyes landed on her room. I took a deep breath, and opened the door.I glared at the bodyguards who followed me due to Massimo's orders.I didn't want them joining me inside the room, so I left them outside. I hesitated for a few seconds as I walked inside.My mom looked more healthy, her face lit up immediately she saw me, I rushed immediately to her side.She smiled. "Mom," I whispered."What are you doing here?" She murmured, looking at all my stuff which I brought with me.I frowned in a joking manner, "I'm here to visit.""And spend time with you." I brought out everythi
Adriana's POV.I rolled my eyes after my first wave of shock hit me.I didn't expect to see Caden here, and I didn't want to talk to him.I faced the door and walked away, my heart pounding in my chest as I went out of the door.I heard quick footsteps behind me and I knew it wasn't my bodyguard.The bodyguard already walked out immediately. I paused for a while when he called my name.I felt his hands on me, stopping immediately I walked out.He was still breathing heavily but calm now. His eyes never left me.I pulled my hands away from his, "Are you okay?" I snapped.His hands suddenly landed on my shoulders and stayed there."Let's talk." He said."What makes you think, I'm going to talk to you?" I asked."If you think I'll talk to you, you're wasting your time, I don't have anything to say to you."I said quickly."You need to listen to me, please." He pleaded softly.I stared at him in surprise, I can't imagine he would even try to plead with me, I turned away to leave when I noti
Massimo's POV.I stared at Michael, hoping he'll wake up from his coma immediately.The doctors in charge told me I should leave him to sleep a bit longer, but every time I left the room, I rushed back to see him immediately.I keep checking on him, my fear increasing every time.I frowned when I stared at the oxygen, hoping it'll make him wake up this instant.A sudden call jarred me from my thoughts, I rolled my eyes when I saw the caller ID."Why are you calling me?" I barked at my bodyguard."I'm sorry for disturbing sir." He said."Go on, did you accompany her to see her mom?" I asked."Yes sir, but she left the hospital hours ago, right now she's with Mr Caden." The bodyguard said."You told me to call if he comes around her." The bodyguard added."Where are you?" I asked, I could slowly feel my blood boiling.My hands were itching to punch something.I began clenching my hands tightly, the need to hit something almost overwhelming me."We're outside the café close to a men's cl
Massimo's POV.I woke up with a start, my hair sticking up in the back of my head from being ruffled by my Adriana last night.A smile reached my lips when I thought about us, I could see myself falling for her.I shook the thought off and stood up, rushing to the bathroom immediately.I turned on the shower, letting the warm water hit my face as I began to wash away all of the sweat.After finishing my routine, I grabbed some clean clothes and walked into the living room.My eyes landed on Adriana sitting on the couch reading, her hair was down, the waves of it cascading over her shoulders. She looked gorgeous."Good morning, I was waiting for you to finish." She said,"You should've joined me." I replied, her cheeks heated and she rushed into the bathroom immediately.I realized that we were actually in my room.I walked out of the room, to the parlor immediately and I heard my phone ring.It was the doctor's number, so I picked it up immediately."Hello, good morning doctor." I a
Adriana's POV.I can't believe I would enjoy my conversation with Michael, but it's been going well.He sure loves teasing as he did that everytime and chance he got.It made me laugh when I saw how he was also teasing to Massimo.His sense of humour was top notch to me, I couldn't help but giggle as he kept teasing me.I could see the fond look on his face whenever the two of them teased each other.He always looked so proud and amused while he did it. I couldn't help but smile everytime he said something.I began laughing now as he said something again, just to tease me once more.Michael laughed at my reaction as he continued teasing and teasing me back.At this point I thought I would die because of happiness, I felt relaxed and his energy was amazing."And you and Massimo are quiet the couple huh?" He asked in a teasing tone.I blushed immediately, "What are you talking about?!" I blurted out, my cheeks were red immediately.The night I spent with Massimo refreshed in my mind."S
Adriana's POV.I was shivering as I waited for a doctor to help him.I sighed in relief when I heard footsteps, I could see the doctor and nurse rushing towards him.The nurses carried him up and I followed them immediately, I stood outside waiting for them to finish.The thought of losing Massimo made my head throb painfully.I began pacing the room, biting my nails.Massimo's surgery would be tonight but I couldn't sleep at all.The bullet had to be taken out, and that meant a whole host of complications like sepsis or blood clots, or worse.He could die. My beautiful man could die on me.I shook my head, getting rid of the negative thoughts, he wouldn't die if they removed the bullet.The doctor was really good, he’ll have no problems removing it.I kept pacing the room, my headache increasing, my hands were beginning to tremble slightly.I bit my lip anxiously, I was scared, so very scared.My eyes began watering and I clenched my jaw as I continued to pace nervously.I didn't k
Adriana's POV."I'm his ex." She said,I somehow knew this already, but I wondered why she was here.I brushed it off immediately, I didn't really care, all I cared about was Massimo waking up.His condition really scared me, I paced the room again as I stared at the bed.I watched her sit down close to him touching his hands, "Please I hope you wake up." She muttered.I also hoped for that and I wished whoever shot him gets punished.The door opened revealing Michael, I ran to his side immediately."Why are you here?" I wondered who let him out of his hospital room."I got discharged." He replied and I nodded slowly."That's good, but you don't seem completely fine." I said and he nodded, staring at Massimo."I've made the police check the CCTV, the culprit will be certainly caught soon." He said and I nodded."I hope he wakes up, can't believe we've both landed in the hospital." Michael said."Yeah, I can't believe it either." I gripped my hands nervously."Why are you here Jamie?" M
Adriana's POV."How are you?" I asked, trying to keep a false bravado.I didn't want to seem like I just confessed my feelings and he heard me."I'm fine." he replied, still staring at me.I stared at him, trying to see if he was alright, I sighed in relief."I'm glad you're okay." I said sitting close to him, I avoided his gaze.I stood up when the door opened and the doctor came in."Mr Massimo, you're awake." The Doctor said."Let me check how you're faring." He said checking Massimo's vitals."Are you feeling alright? Does your head hurt?"Mussimo shook his head. "Just fine.""Good." the doctor smiled at us, "You can be discharged.""Thank you!" I said to the doctor as he was about to leave."I hope we'll have more opportunities to meet again.""But outside the hospital." I added and he laughed.Doctor nodded. "Yes, I would like that."He left the room and I followed him, closing the door."It's time for us to go." I said and Massimo nodded.We somehow left the hospital minutes la
