Author's Pov' Jackson and Lorenzo entered the ward and noticed the intense gaze in Vincenzo's eyes, who was lying on the bed while staring at the wall infront of him with his dark gaze which was screaming danger. "I'm glad that you're fine Vinc--" Vincenzo closed his eyes in anger and turned his head towards them. "I wasn't supposed to end up here man!" His whole body was boiling with anger. "Vincenzo, calm the fuck down!I know our plan was about to succeed but someone betrayed us at the very last moment by leaking the news to our rival." Jackson tried to calm Vincenzo, who was ready to lose his goddamned temper. "And who that fucking bastard is?" Lorenzo lifted his face to look at Vincenzo. "It's that old greedy brat James Martin and his son Thomas Martin." Lorenzo stated, Vincenzo was shocked to hear those names as they had been in his team for years and now it was time for them to pay for their betrayal, as Vincenzo hated betrayals.He was thinking about ways to hunt his
Author's Pov' Not only was her beauty attracting him, but the main reason was he was feeling a pool of attraction towards her because of her innocence, which was crystal clear in her dark blue orbs. "M-Mr Vincenzo, you can't hold my hand like this.I'm a doctor here and also there's a CCTV came--" Before she could complete her sentence, he cut her off by saying. "I don't care!" He pulled her towards him, making her bump on his chest.A cold shiver ran through her spin when she saw his beautiful amber orbs from much closer now.He slowly leaned towards her lips, wanting to devour them, but she quickly shook her head to the other side and pushed him harshly. "Excuse me Mr, this is a hospital and I'm a doctor here, not a slave or something, so behave yourself." Elena ordered him, telling the Mafia how to behave. Not only the Mafia, but a soon-to-be Mafia King is something else.No one had the guts to say this until now.Which was attracting him more towards Elena.She turned towards the
Elena sighed and stared out of the window as she was locked in a room which looked expensive.She never thought that after getting kidnapped she would be in a luxurious room like this, but she cared less about it.She just wanted to meet their cabo and her kidnapper.She was getting angry at the thought of it.She clenched, her fist ready to punch her kidnaper who wasn't even present there.Its been one hour and still her kidnaper didn't let her known about his existence.Lorenzo blind folded her on the way and then locked her in a room.Since then she was sitting there being frustrated and angry.As god just listened to her prayer and the door opened catching her attention at whoever it was.Elena frowned a little when she witnessed her kidnapper.Who was none other than Vincenzo Romano himself.He smirked at her and walk to where she was standing now while she was throwing daggers at him with her ocean blue eyes which was amusing him. "I didn't expect you to be here, Miss Elena." He said, b
Elena's POV'All my life I ran behind love. That was the reason why I ended up being a heart surgeon. I even got my first love, but the images are too blurry and livid to remember. I often get flashbacks, but the pictures are still too blurry to figure out due to my Amnesia. Yes! I have that mental illness and curse it on my faith. Why out of all people does it have to be me with that illness? I shouldn't say something like that considering I'm a doctor myself, but I can't help it because, in the end, I'm a human too. I'm human with frustration and anger. I even had some emotional mental breakdown because of it. Considering, I put my past life in blurry pictures instead of remembering all the events. Some beautiful events of which I still get flashbacks about.How has my life turned into swift seconds of moments? How did I get myself into this? Just how? How does saving a life got me into something like this? There are so many questions but no answers! What does this man want from me?
Author's POV'"Aarghhh"A painful scream left the man's mouth when Lorenzo hit his stomach with a steel-poll. He clutched his stomach due to the immense pain. Watching the reaction, a satisfactory smirk appeared on Lorenzo's lips when Thomas started coughing blood. Lifting the steel poll Lorenzo was about to hit him again but stopped hearing the voice behind him."Seems like you are enjoying this a beat too much."Vincenzo said with an arrogant smirk on his face as he enjoyed the view in front of him.Lorenzo chuckled before turning his head towards Vincenzo."I was having a little fun, but since you are here I'll leave this upto you."Lorenzo threw the steel-poll towards Vincenzo, and he caught the heavy object like a ball."By the way, I'm going on a mission to California since my father has asked for it."Vincenzo nodded in anticipation."On your way out, give a visit to my little birdy and ask her to come into the basement."Lorenzo gave a nod of acknowledgment."Anything for you!
Elena's POV'"And now you all are going to pay with your lives."I gulped in fear, hearing the danger lying beneath his threat. Why is he involving me in it? I never did anything wrong to him, so I don't deserve this kind of treatment from him, especially after saving his life."But you saved my life, Amore, so you don't deserve this."Did he hear my thoughts? I shivered internally when he leaned closer and spoke in his dangerously deep voice."And I was thinking about doing something else with you."My eyes widened at his statement. What does he mean by that? I could feel him smirking when he felt the goosebumps on my skin. I was about to question him, but suddenly the door went open, making me freeze in the place after witnessing the person in front of me while he released his hold on me by letting me go completely while his other men caught me."C-Capo, please forgive me."My eyes went cold watching the person in front of me. What is he doing here? Isn't he supposed to be with my m
Author's Pov'Elena was sitting beside her mom on the bed after her mother got discharged out of hospital. Dahlia rubbed Elena's back in a comforting manner after Elena confessed about how her life took a drastic turn. Elena was scared, anxious, sad and nervous. She still doesn't know how to feel about the situation.Her step-dad had just traded her over to Italy's most fierce next-in-line mafia king. She was still digesting the fact that her step-dad could step so low. She had never felt so helpless before. Even after being an independent woman, she felt helpless."I can't see you sad, you know that, right?"Dahlia spoke in her weak voice. She was still recovering."He is destroying my life too, Maa. It seems like all my struggles and handwork are useless."Dahlia broke the hug and looked at Elena."Don't lose hope, Anni. Remember what I taught you?"Elena nodded her head before answering."No matter how difficult the situation becomes, never lose hope."Dahlia smiled."Right! And I
Vincenzo was leaning against the glass window of his luxurious office while smoking a cigarette. A usual smirk plastered on his face as the man in the background groaned in pain."Ahhh!"He groaned painfully again when Vincenzo's men didn't show any mercy to him, because that's what happens when you mess with the wrong person, aka Vincenzo Romano!The man's body hit the ground while he coughed blood. His face was filled with bloody bruises while Vincenzo was enjoying every second of his painful screams and pleads."P-please I beg you.. Let go of my father."He slowly turned his head towards the girl who was tied up in the corner.Vincenzo signaled his men to stop, and they occasionally did, which made that weak man kneel on his bloody knees. Vincenzo approached him with his steady steps yet dangerously. Crouching down at his level, Vincenzo's deadly gaze was piercing through his soul."This is what happens when you try to mess with me."His tone was as dark as his eyes. The man lifted
Elena's POV'He leaned closer to my ear so only I could hear it."Maybe you can prevent me from touching you now, but you can't carry it later when we are alone. Until then, behave well because I don't want to harm your sick mother who's going to get a discharge soon."I looked at him utterly shocked and scared, but I was more scared than shocked because I know this man has more psychotic tendencies, and he could actually hurt my mother without a second thought. I still remember how he killed the man inside the bus who helped me to escape that day.My mother was my weakness and hearing about her made me more scared than before. I wish I could do something about it. I wish I was powerful like him, but I'm not weak either. I'm powerful in my own way, but my power becomes powerless when he's standing against me just like a queen without a king.If I was shocked before, then I'm blank and speechless right now."You are a heartless monster."I didn't know what else to say to my groom, who h
Elena's POV'"I’m here, aren’t I?”I snapped at him, my voice sharper than I intended.I turned to face him, my eyes flashing with defiance.“I’m dressed, I’m ready. There’s no need to babysit me.”Lorenzo tilted his head, studying me with a cool, unreadable expression.“You say that, but your eyes tell a different story, doc.”I froze, my mask of composure slipping for a moment. Did he see through me so easily?"That's not the case right now. I'm here to take you to the Aisle."I looked away, controlling my tears, which were threatening to fall."I don't want to go."His eyes studied me once again with his unyielding gaze before saying the next unexpected words."I know that you are forced into this marriage, and maybe you consider it as your nightmare, but you should know that every nightmare has its own ending."I stared at him blankly, not believing a word he said to me just now. How could he say something like that and keep those hard expressions on his face?He was soft somewhere
Author's POV''One week later!'The day had betrayed her before it had even begun. Elena woke up to the shrill, mocking tone of her alarm, but it wasn’t just the clock that was relentless; life itself seemed to conspire against her. The sun, hidden behind a thick veil of clouds, cast a dim and suffocating light through her window—neither warm nor welcoming, just a muted gray that matched the heaviness in her chest.There was no ray of hope, no grand epiphany. Just a heavy sigh and the faint, distant echo of a woman who had given her all, only to be left with nothing to show for it but the ache of a day gone wrong.The room was a gilded cage, shimmering with luxury yet suffocating in its purpose. The bride’s chamber was an orchestra of chaos—styling tools hummed, brushes swept across delicate skin, and a dozen pairs of hands fussed over her as though she were a doll rather than a woman with a mind of her own. But Elena, the reluctant bride, sat motionless at the center of it all, her e
"There's nothing serious."I groaned when I heard someone speaking and grabbed my head unconsciously. I felt the soft mattress underneath me and those soft cushions. Where am I?I slowly opened my eyes to clear the vision and my head hurt like hell. Literally like hell. Setting up my vision clearly, I looked around my surroundings just to find the devil standing beside the bed, tall and dangerous.That's when I recalled how suddenly I fainted on his chest and the next thing I felt was him picking me up in his strong arms.Did I anger him by spoiling his mood because of the way he was staring at me with a scowling face before returning his gaze towards the doctor who was still busy inspecting me!"Give me the genuine reason behind her passing out."Vincenzo demanded in his scary voice."Lack of eating and skipping meals. How many days has it been since you haven't eaten anything?"I tried to avoid Vincenzo's gaze before responding.I knew I had to be genuine."Three days to be more spe
When I entered the huge glassed building, a man whom I consider to be one of Vincenzo's men escorted me towards his penthouse. My jaw dropped when I saw the interior inside. It was a huge penthouse. Maybe a whole floor was gathered into making it and, as usual, the interior had a dark aesthetic with a classy look.Clutching my bag, I made my way towards his study room, following the man who was escorting me."Here!"Opening the door after knocking on it, he indicated me to go inside. With a racing heart, I went inside and heard the closing of the door shut behind me. Can't he just keep it open for my sake?I gulped, looking at the scenario in front of me. Vincenzo, who was shirtless, was busy playing chess with Lorenzo. Focused on their game. I swallowed hard. What am I supposed to do now? Just stand there and watch them play until the game was over?"Welcome sister-in-law!"I flinched out of my thoughts when Lorenzo greeted me out of nowhere.He played his side of chess while my gaze
Author's POV'"Can you fill my one more wish."The driver looked at her stunned through the mirror."I'm just a mere driver, Miss."He responded while keeping his eyes on the road."I know, and I won't ask you to do anything which is out of the box for you."Elena fidgged her fingers together nervously."What's it, Miss?"Her eyes snapped at him when he said that."Actually I want to meet my mother, and she's in hospital."She looked at him through the mirror, hopefully, while he looked hesitant."But it's not up to me, Miss."He tried to convince her."I know, but the hospital is just near."She spoke while pointing outside."I'll just come back after meeting her. It won't take long, I promise."The driver's eyes looked hesitant before he picked up his phone to call his capo, making her annoyed."Capo, Mrs. Romano is asking to meet her mother, who's in a nearby hospital."Elena frowned when the driver addressed her by her soon-to-be husband's surname.Placing the phone aside after ha
Elena's POV'I made my way downstairs towards the living room. The feeling I was feeling right now was beyond anything. I'm so happy that I got his approval, so I can finally meet him.I never thought that it was going to be so easy. If he were just like this and gave in to my every demand, then life would be so easy, but whom was I fooling? Only myself."Just because the great mafia agreed on meeting you don't get your hopes high, Elena."I shook my head before taking the last stairs and was about to make my way towards the exit but got stopped by no one but James."Don't you have manners to tell me about where the hell you are going? Or you don't think it's necessary?"I turned around being annoyed. Why is he doing all this drama when he never really cared? And he knew exactly where I was going, so why the hell was he asking?"I'll go with the second one."I replied while crossing my hands across my chest. I knew he must be boiling in anger because it was crystal clear from his faci
Author's POV'The sky wore a shroud of brooding charcoal, clouds sprawling across the heavens like ink spilled on parchment. The air was thick, heavy with the scent of rain yet to fall, and the faint whispers of a restless wind curled through the barren trees.Shadows danced and deepened, casting the world in hues of muted gray and silver, as if mother-nature herself was holding her breath.A quiet melancholy hung in the atmosphere, not ominous, but serene, a tender reminder of the beauty found in the quiet embrace of darkness like the devil sitting inside his penthouse's office.The outside's dark beauty was perfectly matched with the devil himself."Did you get to know who helped her out of the house?"Litting up his cigarette, he looked out of the huge glass window while his one hand remained in his sweatpant's pocket as his back was facing Lorenzo."About that, yes."He responded while spinning the ball in his hand."And who's that?"Vincenzo asked while taking a long drag of his
I was still shocked after what I witnessed inside my bedroom last night. A freaking camera and I know who's doing that is. Of course, no other than my so-called fiancé.Thank god I didn't change clothes in the bedroom, but soon my relieved expression turned sad as the realization came crushing to me.Sooner or later he will claim me as his. It's certain in his eyes after I have noticed the way he looks at me.I shook mentally while staring at the breakfast in front of me which that maid had left for me. It feels like my appetite has died along with my hopes.Probably two days since, I haven't eaten anything despite being a doctor myself. Moving my gaze up from breakfast, I stared out of the window as the sunlight glowed my bedroom into a golden hour."I want to see Maa, so badly."I'm literally dying to see her, yet I have to ask for people's permission to meet my own mother.How ironic does it sounds right? Finally, lifting myself up, I made my way towards the door before banging on
