After Six Years in a Coma, He Chose Another Woman Chapter 10
By the next day, news of the attack had shaken Palermo's underworld.Reeling from the blow, Lucas went on a rampage.He personally led his men to wipe out every Bellini stronghold.He fought like he wanted to die, and he came out of it badly wounded himself.Then he seized control of the square in front of headquarters.Chloe had been bound and hoisted high in the center of the square.She was covered in blood, barely alive.Lucas had summoned everyone who mattered in Palermo to watch.He had even sent men to bring Matteo, Sofia, and me.His face was deathly pale.He walked slowly toward Chloe.He shoved the cold barrel of his gun into her mouth.His hand didn't even shake.He wanted her death to become the bloodiest, cruelest spectacle possible. He wanted the whole world to see that I was the only one he cared about.But Chloe jerked her head back from the dark muzzle and burst into shrill, crazed laughter.She spat out a mouthful of bloody foam.Her venomous, mocking gaze slid past L

I braced myself on the edge of the table, slowly stood up, and walked to the window.I looked down the hill at the dark mass of Lucas's personal guards."Chloe did pay off the Bellini family."I turned around and looked down at him."Use your head, Lucas. Would the Bellini family really help one woman stage this elaborate charade for a measly few million euros?"The color drained from Lucas's face.I had barely finished speaking.A deafening blast erupted outside!A wave of heat ripped the window frame loose.The armored cars Lucas had parked along the road were reduced to scrap metal in a towering fireball.Matteo reacted fast.He yanked me down behind the couch for cover.A storm of bullets shattered the glass.They tore through the living room like rain."It's the Bellini family's main assault force! They're coming in!"Sofia shouted, shotgun raised.She leaned out and opened fire.Lucas hadn't lost his fighting instincts.Without thinking, he pulled the pistol from his waistband.H

Sofia came charging out of the kitchen with a black shotgun.Her eyes were fierce."I'm going to blow that bastard's head off.""Sofia, wait."I raised a hand to stop her.My voice was perfectly calm."Let him in. Sooner or later, he and I have to settle this."The front door slowly swung open.Lucas stood in the rain, facing us.He was soaked to the skin.His hair was plastered to his forehead, and his eyes were bloodshot with exhaustion.He stumbled into the living room.The second he saw me sitting there, alive, his legs buckled.He nearly collapsed to his knees.Matteo stepped in front of me in a flash.He pressed the black muzzle of his gun against Lucas's chest."Lucas, you came onto my territory uninvited in the middle of the night. That's not how things are done in Sicily."Lucas didn't even look at Matteo.He ignored the gun pressed against his heart.He pushed the cold barrel aside and lurched toward me as if all his strength had left him."Elena... come home with me."His vo

Elena's POV:Matteo's hidden safe house outside Palermo.Logs crackled in the fireplace.The firelight filled the living room with warmth.Sofia brought over a steaming bowl of thick soup and pressed it into my hands."Drink up. Six years in a coma, and you're nothing but skin and bones."I held the bowl and took small sips.At last, a little warmth returned to my numb body.Matteo sat on the couch across from me.He kept his head down as he patiently cleaned a black pistol with a soft cotton cloth."Palermo's in total chaos right now. Lucas has locked down every port and airport on the island."He didn't look up. His voice was calm and steady."He knows you left with me. He's tearing the whole world apart looking for us."I set down the bowl and spoke quietly."I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble."Sofia snorted and waved it off."Spare me. How many years did we spend dodging bullets together? Who's even keeping score of who owes whom?"She pointed at Matteo and winked."Besides

Everyone in Palermo's underworld knew the Don had lost his mind.Lucas smashed nearly every piece of furniture in the villa on the hillside.The drawers were empty. The closets were empty.Elena had even taken the photo of Aldo from the old desk."Find her! Turn all of Sicily upside down if you have to, but find her!"He seized one man by the collar and roared in his face.The entire port of Palermo was locked down at once, with guards posted at every exit.In the surveillance room, they pulled up all the footage from the docks that day.Lucas stared at the screen without blinking.On the screen, rain was pouring down.Elena didn't look back. She walked straight to a man holding a black umbrella.It was Matteo.There was a loud crack.Lucas drove his fist straight through the monitor.Glass shards bit into his hand, and blood streamed down his skin."Matteo... How dare he come back and steal my woman right in front of everyone?"Chloe came in nervously with a cup of hot tea.The sight

I looked up.Matteo was holding the umbrella.The shoulder nearest me was already soaked through.He was wearing a thin black trench coat.He looked exhausted from the journey, and a streak of dried blood still marked his cheek."Are you crazy?"I looked at the empty road behind him."This is Lucas's territory. What are you doing here alone?"Matteo gave a low laugh.He took off his coat, still warm from his body, and put it around my shoulders."I came for you. Someone told me it was pouring here and that you might catch a chill."He never once looked back at the couple still kissing in the rain behind us.He just quietly tilted the umbrella a little more toward me."Come on. Sofia's already got hot soup waiting."I looked back one last time at the man who had sworn before God, in the ruins, that he would never marry anyone but me.He was still holding another woman as if she were the most precious thing in the world.I looked away and turned around.Step by step, I followed Matteo in
