"I'm sorry that I couldn't contain my emotions earlier."When the tension between Diego and Stellina had completely subsided, Diego lowered his ego to ease Stellina's irritation.From the sofa, Stellina looked up at Diego who was walking towards her. Diego's eyes showed regret, and Stellina instantly felt unable to stay angry with Diego for long.Stellina took a deep breath, then let it out. "Yes, I understand your reasoning, Diego. If Fabian and I hadn't been helped by Ranzo, we would have been captured by the Nuvoletti Clan.""Not just captured, Stellina. You could have been killed on the spot." Diego emphasized his words with firmness. He was already sitting next to Stellina."But, you really don't have a single wound on your body, do you?" Diego asked once again. Now he raised one of Stellina's hands, intending to take a closer and more detailed look, but his hand was jerked away.Stellina was startled by Diego's sudden touch. Diego was momentarily dumbfounded, only to realize tha
"The operation has been successfully performed, Mr. Diego. After this, the patient will undergo a recovery process."Upon hearing the words of the nurse, who was handling the bullet removal operation in Fabian's hand, Diego breathed a sigh of relief. His body seemed to relax to the point of bending down to hold his knees.Diego paused to neutralize his heart, which had been in a state of turmoil. After a few seconds, his body straightened up and gave a smile to the nurse in front of him.Diego nodded his head. "Thank you, I appreciate your efforts. Can I accompany the patient?"The nurse just smiled back at him. "Yes, the patient can be visited, but the patient is not conscious yet. When the patient regains consciousness, please call the doctor to recheck his condition.""Yes, nurse. Thank you again." Diego bowed his head briefly in thanks."Then, I'll leave."Without answering the nurse's words, Diego simply walked sideways. Letting the nurse out of Fabian's hospitalization room.Aft
Today, Fabian and Stellina's condition had started to improve. In Fabian's room, Diego stood with Stellina and the doctor who examined Fabian's condition."The patient's condition has improved, so there is no need to extend the hospitalization period. All medicines have been prepared and can be purchased at the hospital pharmacy upon payment." The doctor explained to Diego after checking Fabian's condition for the umpteenth time. Just to make sure Fabian could really go home.Diego and Stellina breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't just Stellina's condition that had improved after fainting yesterday. Now Fabian could even sit up and his body was no longer as weak as it had been three days in a row yesterday.Fabian, who was holding one arm wrapped in a cast, then smiled a little. So did Stellina. Meanwhile, Diego folded his hands in front of his chest and looked at Fabian rather annoyed."Did you hear? You've finally recovered. After this, you have to be more careful," Diego said, warn
"Stellina, what are you doing there?"Diego's voice jolted the attention of Stellina who had been watching the scene outside the window of the mansion for the past hour. Stellina was even more surprised to see Diego coming with two cups in each hand. As he got closer, the distinctive aroma of tea greeted Stellina's sense of smell."Why are you here all of a sudden?" asked Stellina, her gaze fixed on the two gels.Diego stopped in his tracks beside Stellina and handed her one of the gels. "For you. I made these personally," he said as he held out his hand.Stellina looked at the glass Diego handed her in surprise. Diego almost never made tea for Stellina. In fact, she thought he might be doing some other work right now."Why did you make this for me?" asked Stellina, showing her suspicion openly. "I don't think there's any reason for you to suddenly be so nice to me."Diego's thin smile that signaled sincerity faded in an instant. Now the look of annoyance on his face was immediately a
Diego sighed after helping Eston unload the suitcases from the trunk of the car.At the airport car stop, Eston, Matteo, and Stellina gathered around waiting for Fabian, Eston's personal driver, Diego, Eston's confidant, and Matteo's confidant to push the suitcases."Be careful with that suitcase!" exclaimed Eston, giving orders to his confidant.While they-including Eston-were busy with their own activities, Stellina accidentally turned to Matteo. It turned out that Matteo had been watching her for some time. Stellina was surprised when Matteo winked at her."What are you doing?" Stellina said to Matteo without making a sound.Fortunately, Stellina and Matteo were standing one step behind Eston. Their interaction went unnoticed.Receiving a glare from Stellina, Matteo smiled contentedly. For some reason Matteo could not stop flirting with Stellina despite the rejection reaction."Do not miss me," Matteo whispered very softly. His voice was barely audible because it was drowned out by
"Hey Diego, we met here!"As Diego and Stellina walked hand in hand out of the shop, Benigno suddenly appeared. Diego was confused as to which direction Benigno had come from and repeatedly looked around. But before Diego could react, Benigno's staggering body suddenly lurched forward and almost fell onto Diego.Suddenly Diego was forced to stop and take Benigno's weight. It was not only Diego who was surprised, but also Stellina who was confused by the man."Benigno, oh my... where did you come from?" Diego asked with a groan as his hands straightened Benigno's body.Benigno looked up at Diego with wide eyes. This made Diego sure that Benigno was really under the influence of alcohol. But Diego didn't know which club Benigno had gone to until they met on this street.Diego and Stellina were just about to head to the car park to go home. The clock was already striking eight in the evening."Diego, I had a great time. I didn't realize you were around," Benigno said. Although he was in
Today was the gathering of the wives of the Pavnozzi Clan capos.The crowded atmosphere in the mansion was unavoidable. All the servants were lost in their own busy lives. They were scattered all over the mansion. Without exception. Various types of decorations and event trinkets filled the rooms of the mansion.Today's important event required Stellina to overhaul every detail in the rooms of the mansion. For some reason, Stellina could not just fix them one by one. Since yesterday, Stellina had even consulted with someone who was an expert in choosing room decoration colors. Only a few things had their colors chosen by the expert, while the rest were chosen by Stellina herself.Descending the stairs after checking the second floor, Stellina walked over to the dining room that was directly adjacent to the living room. Stellina's arrival sent the servants into a tizzy. They were suddenly nervous after receiving Stellina's watchful gaze.But on the other hand, Stellina was focused on t
Despite their careful work, the servants at the Pavnozzi mansion were used to working under pressure. That afternoon when the capo Pavnozzi's wives arrived at the mansion, one of the servants, Cessa, accidentally spilled tea on Madam Massimo's dress.This well-built woman with her chin up was notorious for her cruelty. Suddenly, her face turned red with anger."How dare you spill tea on my expensive dress. Don't you see this dress is made of very expensive silk? Your lifetime salary alone won't be able to afford such an expensive silk dress, you won't escape my punishment," she scolded.Madam Massimo looked sarcastically at Cessa whose face was now deathly pale.Hearing Madam Massimo's sharp words, Stellina did not remain silent. She could not stand it when her servant was chastised and humiliated by Madam Massimo."Anthony should take Cessa downstairs. Maybe she's too tired, you know the place I mean is in the storeroom, don't you?" In a slight whisper Stellina spoke to Anthony.Anth
