[ Aitana ]

Aching Numbness

That's the only emotion invaded my heart since I got the most devastating call from Drake.

My husband was shot twice and currently hanging on a loose cord between life and death.

It had been ten hours which felt like ten centuries since I rushed to this private hospital where the best doctors of the city were trying their best to keep his heart beating for his life but the pensive looks on their faces whenever they walk out of the OT, it was very clear to me that he wasn't okay. Nobody was telling me anything about his current condition that hurt even more. I had no idea whether he had chances of surviving or....I shook my head to get rid of such horrendous thoughts.

My Alessandro wasn't okay.

My own father shot my husband to avenge his personal vendetta against me. A few hours ago,I was on cloud nine with the news of my pregnancy but now, the excitement had gone.

My hand slipped on my stomach. My heart bled with the mere image of my child born without a fat

    [ Aitana ]"My husband is fighting for his life. We don't know if he'd make it out alive or..."I sniffed looking away from my brother."Aitana please give me a chance to explai-"He tried to hold my hand but I pry him off."I don't want a fucking explanation, Chase. You guys had kept me out of this fallacy and you think you did a righteous thing?"I threw my hands in the air."I don't deserve your forgiveness, I know and I won't try either but you have to listen to what I want to say, Aitana. It's important."He said."Can we..can we just talk about all of this later?"I pleaded him through my eyes, at this point, my mind wouldn't register anything he will say."No, we can't."He refused."Do you have any idea how shitty I am feeling right now, Chase? I may loose the only person I have as my family, he's my husband for Holy Mother's sake!"I blinked my eyes in disbelief.The audacity of this man. He supported Alessandro in the secret plotting, got shot himself and still charading."Your fat

Come on, I'll be the first female Don in the mafia history and I have to live up the image."Than...thanks." She murmured timidly, her eyes still fixed on her lap."Look, Lisy or Lisa or whatever your name is, I won't be standing here all the day and watch your shit. I need some answers from you and you are going to it give me."I said without beating around the bush."Wha..what..kind..of answers?"Her voice shook profusely and at this point, my crazy hormones did tango inside my unstable brain."Are you a toddler who is learning to speak?"I kind of yelled on her. She flinched back in fear.I sighed in exasperation.She was actually very terrified by my presence. I had to act calm if I wanted her to speak and tell me what I wished to hear from her. I dragged the stool and made myself comfortable on it. It would take time for

    [ Aitana ]"Please take a seat first, Mrs. De Niro."Dr. Jones offered with a soft smile but the grimace wasn't hidden. There was some sort of bad news in his bag.Nevertheless, I sat straight, my demeanor not giving him any clue of how panicked I was feeling in that moment.He occupied his leather chair and adjusted his glasses and cleared his throat to drop a verbal bomb over my head."Mrs. De Niro, I am not going to keep you in dark for no reason. You're his closest family member here so I've to tell you this-"He paused and searched for a reaction on my face but I gave him none."How's is my husband, Doctor?"I ask him in a flat tone."We have successfully removed the bullets from the wounds, the wound on his abdomen isn't fatal, it will recover in a week's time but the other bullet missed his heart by an inch and brushed an artery. We had to perform several surgery to stitch the damage but he lost a lot of blood in the process."He said in a worried tone, for a professional surgeon

    [ Aitana ]Alessandro made me feels those things which couldn't be explainable in words. I never imagined myself diving in the colorful ocean of different emotions opposite to my bland life. He made me feel alive, he taught me to respect my worth.Loosing someone you love dearly, is the worst fear known to the human kind. It would be selfish on one's part to think their loved ones alwayw remain in good health and when they aren't, well I was feeling in the same agonizing way.I felt like a dagger was stabbed and carved my heart out of my chest. I wanted to feel numb but the pain was a constant reminder of the fear, I might loose my most treasured jewel, my husband, my love ,my everything. I clutched on the soft material of the blanket that covered his body upto his chest. His breathing was faint, if you don't notice it closely you may mistake him as a dead body laying on hospital bed."It's been four days, Aless. For fucking days I've see those blue eyes of yours staring at me. I am

    [ Aitana ]"I..I..am pregnant." I tried to speak but my mouth felt bone dry as his big eyes gaped at me like I wasn't pregnant but grown two heads instead."Oh wow! It's...it's an amazing news. I mean I am going to be an uncle and Alessandro a father." He seemed to process the news."Chase, I want you to keep this to yourself. I mean we have enemies all around us and many of them are hidden snakes. We don't know..who will strike us and I don't want the history to repeat itself." I referred to my first pregnancy and felt my eyes burning with fresh tears."Hey..it's alright. Come here."He gathered me in his arms and stroked my hairs,"I promise you, Aitana, I will protect you and this baby with my life. You're my responsibility until Alessandro recovers, okay. Please don't feel petrified, we'll overcome any hurdle coming in our way. This baby will come in this world and follow the steps of his parents."His words comforted me. I knew he would go to any extent in order to protect me and m

    [ Alessandro De Niro ]My heavy eyelids fluttered open for a nano second only to squeeze shut due to the bright sunlight direction penetrating on my face from the window. I groaned in annoyance as I hate when someone open the curtains of my bedroom. It must be Aitana who loves to tease me.The smell of medicines and floor cleaner reached into my nostrils. It didn't feel like my home.Wait! I was shot and died then why am I not seeing the mythological scenes from the hell or even heaven if I have done something good in my mortal life.I again try to open my eyes with several attempts to adjust my vision in the lights and then reality hit me like a bulldozer. I was lying on the hospital bed, surrounded by the familiar machines and iv attatched on my right knuckle.I recalled what had occured when I closed my eyes. Chase and Drake were telling me to stay awake but I did the opposite as my organs begun to shut down or it was my brain which worked on the emergency and saved me from real de

    [ Aitana ]"I am pregnant, Aless. You're going to be a father again." I don't know what amount of confidence I mixed in my words but the reaction I received from him dropped it down to the bottom of my stomach.He stared at me with no expression on his face and unmoving eyes like someone replaced him with a mummy."Alessandro...I know..that we decided to wait for some time but..it happened. We're pregnant." I licked my dry lips, his silence was like a slow poison, killing slowly and steadily. Involuntarily, tears brimmed in my eyes and I made no efforts to control them."You're pregnant? I mean you have our baby inside you right now?" He asked breaking the heavy silence. I shot my eyes at him, he looked flabbergasted. The news came out like a thunderbolt stuck in the middle of a desert."I guess...yes. I am carrying your child right now. He's almost a month and a half old. I found out on the same day you-" I paused not willing to remember the most dreadful moment of my life when I r

    [ Alessandro De Niro ]"You look feasible, husband." Aitana roamed her hands sensually over my tailored suit and reached for my tie knot. Her hazy eyes were proof of the lust which was pooling in them."Don't start this game right now, Ana. I beg you or else, we won't be leaving this house for the next few days." I warned her as her delibarate moves were testing my patience. It had been over one and a half month since we last had sex and now it was taking a toll over me."I am not interested to leave either, Alessandro." She traced my jawline with her sleek long finger. I closed my eyes and tightened my grip around her waist to control myself from ripping her clothes and fuck her on the wall."Please, Ana...we need to go as for now." I begged her again."I know you want it too, Aless and I need you right in this moment. I miss your touches, I miss to feel you inside me. It's fucking two months, Alessandro." Desperation dripped from her words while she grinded her core on my already ha

    [ Aitana ]The warm sunrays falling over my face forced me to open my eyes but I closed them instantly as they hit their sensitivity after a couple of hours' sleep.After a few moments, I tried to open them again and glanced over the digital watch on the nightstand. It showed 7:15 A.M. It was a Sunday means I'd be spending the day with my family."Go back to sleep, mio regina. You haven't slept properly in last few days." My husband's sexy morning voice made me realise that I was caged in his arms while our naked bodies pasted together.I recalled the fierce sex we had for the most of the night after being away from each other for two crazy weeks. It was a pure hellish torture for Alessandro as we were worse than animals when it comes to sex even after eight years of our marriage."I wish I can but will your little demons let me sleep peacefully?" I turned to face him, whose enchanting dark blue eyes met mine."Hmm..they're our little demons but they can't be blamed when their parents

    [ Alessandro De Niro ]He stepped closer," Hand me over the key and I'll declare you my only heir after I die which isn't going to happen anytime soon but you'd have a great future.A dry chuckle left my throat."You will declare me as your heir?" I laughed that echoed in the dark celler."Yes, I will. You have my word, Alessandro." Irritation was visible on his face."What am I looking to you? A fool or a believer in good deeds thats pays in blessings, Liam Grayson?" My hand reached for a wine bottle from the nearest shelf."You're a smart man who doesn't think from your dick like most of the Italian mafias." He tried to flatter me but I found no reason to consider his offer."Preserved since 1995, nice huh. I wonder how it will react on my taste buds." I opened the cork of the bottle and gulped a good amount from it."Put it back on the shelf, Alessandro. I didn't invite you here to enjoy free wine." Liam lost his temper as per my plan."I am not stopping you from sharing whatever y

    [ Alessandro De Niro ]"Fuck!"I slammed the broken chair on the concrete ground with so much force that it cracked into pieces. I was boiling in anger and a shameful feeling of helplessness. The bastard again fooled us. He wanted to continue this cat and mouse chase like he was enjoying my state.My face was covered with sweat even in the freezing temperature. It was the place where we got the signal from Drake's GPS, he had it hidden in his ear stud. All we found were the evidence of someome being held captive here. It had been four hours since I last communicated with Drake, we searched the nearby closed places but we were no closer to finding them and now, it simmered my brewing anger."Aless, we should take a break and sketch a new plan rather than wandering aimlessly in the streets. May be, we'd find another lead." Chase offered, it was past nine and they were already on the brink of giving up."You can go back and rest." I gripped the butt of my gun with such pressure that my f

    [ Alessandro De Niro ]The tension brewing in the air and ticking of clock was a constant reminder of my failure as a mafia man. Liam proved my incompetence and this time he made me realise how immature I was since the beginning, I had taken orders from my uncle and then Stefano, I hardly did something on my own."Aless, we traced the location by tracking Drake's GPS." Chase informed me.I gripped the railing of balcony. My mood was depicting the dark sky. Liam managed to abduct my best soldier while I went for a wild goose chase. He beat me at every instance."Where is the location?" I asked him without faltering my gaze from the sky, for some reason, I found a little comfort by staring at the vast blankness."Where a rat like Liam can hide?""A shabby place, a closed fight club or an abandoned work shop if I am right at assuming." I craned my neck in his direction."Bingo! You got it right. The bastard has taken shelter in a closed bicycle workshop three miles from here but we have

    [ ALESSANDRO DE NIRO ]"I don't know what are you talking about, Aless." The woman pretended to sound confused but she failed at it miserably."Oh please, Aunt, drop this act and tell us where is the Golden Box or Anita has her own ways of gutting the truth out of you." Chase said."I am not your Aunt, young man." She shot him a murderous glare. She hated being addressed as Aunt or any tag that reflected her aging."Mrs. Laura, please hand us over the box or I am well capable of breaking your bones and no one would find out what exactly happens in this room." Anita rolled up her sleeves.I could notice my aunt's forehead covered with sweat. She was scared but she was trying to hide it."Aunt, we're not here for any kind of violence. Anita won't lay a finger on you unless she receives my green signal. So, please give us the golden box and we'd set you free with no scratch on your skin." I used indirect threat to crack the stubborn lady."Are you threatening me, Alessandro?" She arched

    [ Alessandro De Niro ] "What is brewing between you and Alyssa?" I threw a teasing glance at Chase who had been smiling like a teenager since we bade our goodbyes to the girls at the De Niro air strip from where Marcus picked them to drop them off safely at my parents' house. It was quite hard for me to convince my lady tigress to tame her wild side until she deliver our baby. "Are you talking to me?" Chase, who was in his own world, asked me with red cheeks like I had caught him in the act. "As far as I remember, I and Drake are already engaged and married, so it leaves only you in the bachelor bucket. Tell us, Chase, what's going on with you and your damsel in distress?" I arched my brows at him for a good explanation. "It's nothing that's your dirty little brain is processing, Aless. She's a nice girl and your wife has given me her responsibility. I am only following her orders. Alyssa hardly comes in front of me. In fact, she rarely leaves the confinement of her room." He said.

    [ AITANA ] "What do you mean, you tracked down the lady who claims to have the golden box?" I asked Alessandro or I say no particular men present in the living room. "We found her, Ana." Alessandro's voice was calmer than last few hours like a storm has passed and breezes stilled. "You mean you found the woman who has the Golden Box?" I asked him again not able to believe it at first. "Yes, Aitana. Somehow we succeeded in tracing the number from which Liam received a call in the night that Alyssa mentioned. She's currently staying in Rome. Guess what? Alyssa was right about her ethnicity. "Chase said. Excitement was dripping from his tone. The hunt for the mysterious woman and Liam Grayson was no less than finding need in a heap of hay. "And how did you get access to Liam's person cell phone?" I narrowed my eyes in curiosity. As far as I remember, he never let anyone touch his cell phone. "We found it near the shore, it might fall accidentally from pocket during the attack." Dr

    [ Aitana ]Hours rolled on, I was as bore as I could be in the balcony of Chase, looking down at the busy street. It was refreshing to feel the late evening breeze while watching the sun set. The ocean's view from afar was a more pleasant experience. It was deadbeat silent in my small space but the inside was on turmoil.Alessandro was making several phone calls in the living room. His pacing became furious sometimes while he cursed in Italian. Chase and Drake's condition was no different than Alessandro. They had been trying to track down my father in the Peru, he was spotted there, probably dealing with local drug dealers. It was his mega plan to escape step by step to distract us but he was one of my least problems.His men were out in the search of Liam's network in the city who were still active and keeping a close eye on us.I groaned in frustration. I had been doing nothing but browsing through my social media accounts and watching online videos on pregnancy. They kept me out
