2026-07-29 20:00:01The smell of the hospital is already suffocating me. Two days lying in this bed, staring at the same white walls, hearing the same sounds—hurried footsteps, the monitor's beep, the squeak of the nurses' cart.
Two days that feel like two weeks.
I never imagined that resting could be so exhausting.

A Second Chance For The Billionaire 32: Ravi Bonetti
I sat in the conference room before everyone arrived. The long dark wood table reflected the cold light from the ceiling fixtures. My coffee cup was cooling next to my open laptop, but I hadn't taken a single sip. The watch on my wrist showed a few minutes until the meeting started, but my body wasn't there. My mind remained in the apartment, in the image of Manu asleep against my chest, the scent of her hair soaked into my shirt, her small hand resting on mine when I placed it on her belly.I shook my head, trying to compose myself. I needed focus, needed to be the CEO my employees knew, not the man who, for the first time in years, had slept deeply because there was someone in his arms."You look terrible, Ravi." The amused voice pulled me out of my trance. I looked up and saw André walking in. He, my b

I woke up to the smell of fresh bread before I even opened my eyes. My body still felt heavy, as if the bed had invisible hands holding me there, keeping me from getting up. It took me a few seconds to realize it wasn't a dream. When I slowly opened my eyes, I saw Ravi standing in front of the bed, balancing a huge tray in his hands, with a discreet smile on his lips."Good morning," he said, and his deep voice sounded so close it pulled a hoarse, sleepy laugh from me.I sat up slowly, adjusting the pillow behind my back. The tray rested on my legs, and my eyes widened. There was coffee, orange juice, cold cuts, fruits cut into perfect pieces, still-warm breads, pastries, jam... There was so much food it looked like a movie set."Did you make all of

I woke up with a strange feeling. For the first time in months, perhaps years, my body didn't feel heavy with fear, but just heavy with sleep. The mattress was so soft it seemed to hug me, and the warmth around me didn't come only from the covers.It took me a few seconds to understand what was happening.Ravi's arms were firm around me, like a chain that didn't trap me but protected me. I was nestled against his chest, his strong, steady heart beating against my back.I smiled slightly, without meaning to. It felt wrong, dangerous, but at the same time... so good.Except my bladder didn't share that comfort.I sighed softly a

The phone was pressed to my ear, Carmen's voice echoing in my head like an uncomfortable reminder of a world that, for now, I no longer felt belonged to me."Mr. Ravi, tomorrow at nine you have a meeting with the investment board in Milan... at eleven, a video conference with the lawyers in Vienna..." She paused, the rustling of pages being turned reaching me. "At two in the afternoon, an in-person meeting with the directors from Zurich."I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath. The cold leather of the wood-paneled wall supported my hand. I had always been that man: the one who kept order, who never wavered, who faced three, four, five meetings a day without even thinking of backing down. But now... now every commitment sounded like an obstacle between me and the room at the end of the hall.

The steam from the bathroom enveloped me like an unexpected embrace. I stood there, in front of the bathtub, almost unable to believe it was real. It had been so long since I'd known what it was like to take a shower without fear. Fear of the door being opened at any moment, fear of screams, of accusations, of being ripped from that small moment of peace.My chest tightened. I had forgotten what it felt like to be safe.The bathtub was full, the water releasing a light lavender scent. Around it, on the edge, rested bottles of liquid soaps, bath salts, creams... all new, sealed, as if they had just come from the store. They were things that would never have a place in my world. And yet, they were there, clearly bought for me.My fingers trembled as I took off my robe and dipped one foot into the water. The warmth enveloped my skin, sending goosebumps across my entire body. I stepped in slowly, feeling my whole body give in. It was as if every part of me had been

The smell of the hospital was already etched into me. The antiseptic, the IV drip, the constant footsteps in the hallway. I had never spent so much time lying down, unable to do anything but eat and wait for the hours to pass. The rest was harder than any job I had ever done.And yet, that wasn't what made me most uneasy. It was the look.Ravi was sitting in front of me, as he had been for the past two days. It didn't matter the time, it didn't matter how late he had come back from work—he was always there when I woke up, always there when I needed him. Now, he watched in silence every forkful I brought to my mouth, as if he wanted to make sure I was really eating.I tried to ignore the strange feeling of being cared for. I didn't know how to h
