All Chapters of Love In The Dark: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Later That Night.I honestly passed out. And I'm in bed. I calloused fingertips brush the stray hair back from my face and I groan, turning my face into the warm, male chest at my side. The arm around my waist tightens its grip, a kiss is placed at the top of my head and the last remains of sleep are wiped from my slightly drowsy mind.My eyes open slowly, and I frown at the male chest before me. How had I ended up in the bed? And how the hell had I ended up wrapped around Vincenzo like a blanket?Was I not hurting him? Of course I am!"How are you feeling?" I look up to see him frown worriedly down at me."Are you alright?" He was asking me if I was alright? Why? I wasn't the one that fell from a two floor house, I'd only passed out at the sight and sound of his pain. It isn't like its a fatal reaction… trust me, it's not."I am fine, but you have not answered me." He smiles down at me gently, cupping my cheek."I'm fine. But, how can you not feel bad. I crushed your ribs right now?"

But I think we all can agree that Alcohol is a solution, in chemistry of course.So I drank. To get her off my mind.After the party, we all took the limousine there, Leilani was quiet trying by all means to never look me in the eyes.Claire and Frederick noticed the tension, Mom was just happy, busy asking me when I am going to marry, which is never. The girl I wanted to marry is married to my brother. I shouldn't have come to my father's funeral. Maybe this wouldn't have happened.Everyone was busy laughing at a joke Frederick cracked. He was a comedian by nature but I didn't feel like laughing. “Okay I get it. Now kids, don't come close to the balcony it's not stable.” Sophia says.“Sophia Di Costa, the Billionaire's wife can't even fix the balcony?” Edgardo asked and Sophia hit his head with her purse.“I don't have kids running around. But now that I do… I'll get it fixed in two days. For now I am tired.” Sophia said as she walked up the stairs.“Good night!” They all said and

My head, it hurts so bad. This is it. This is the end, isn't it? Blood keeps flowing to the floor beneath my big head, like a puddle of rain of death. Yes, this is the end.How can I still see? I have a chance right? No, impossible. There is no fixing this. I need to sleepI'm tired, so tired. But I cannot give in, I cannot sleep. To sleep means to die, I must stay strong. But my body can't take it anymore, perhaps I should just sleep and save my strength until help arrives. Yes, yes that would be best. Save my strength. Help will be here soon.I heard footsteps.I don't think I'm going to make it. No, I know I'm not going to make it. It all ends here, this is where I die. That's okay, I don't have the strength to fight anymore anyway. I'll just wait then, wait for my final breath. After all, I deserve it, It was just a poisoned bread and I was hungry. Well, it did satisfy the appetite but, it's killing me softly. Perhaps killed me.I could still hear their voices. Maybe this is the ba

The Next Day.Claire heard someone hissing out lot of bad words and the person growls, groans. She quickly opened her eyes. Taking in her surroundings, the dark floor and the dark grey walls. Noticing she was in a room that did not belong to her. It was unfamiliar. She sat up, but quickly grabbed the sheet and covered her chest. She was naked. She looked at herself and then clips of last night flashed back and she was alarmed. She turned her head around slowly to face the male staring back straight at her. Edgardo Di Costa, her best friend's fiancé. He turned.He just looked ahead. His back was facing her. She swallowed hard as she waited for him to say something. But he didn't. Just sat there, at the side of the bed- he was barely on the bed. One question popped into her head. What have she done?He sudden movement startled her that she followed each and every movement of his with her eyes. He stood up. He dropped his blanket that was covering him. She sighed.He stood tall staring a

{Edgardo's POV}I don't deserve you, Leilani. As much as I hate to admit this, Vincenzo does. I know because he is my brother, known him for my dear life.I just felt betrayed, I never meant to push you off the balcony, I never did. And I am truly sorry. I know you have no clue what is going on, if you did, you wouldn't want me to lay a finger on you or even worse, to cross paths with me.You belong with Vincenzo… because I think I found someone who… makes me a better man. But, you're clueless and I can't just give you to a stranger. Who does that?That little snore was so satisfying to hear. You are so beautiful. I love you. I kissed her forehead and walked out. I saw Vincenzo talking to Mom. Did I mention that we never talked? Not even a word. Just like 8 years ago. We never contacted each other. That makes me sad, and somehow angry.“Mrs. Di Costa!! I said I am okay. Mom seriously, quit worrying. My ribs finally recovered so I am okay.” I heard Vincenzo say.“Please, if you have so
