ログイン"If I had known, I never would have let her get involved with someone like him. Now I feel like I've failed as a father," Christian murmured, drawing a heavy sigh from my lips."It's not your fault at all. She's an adult, and besides, she had no idea he'd be here—at least, that's what she told me," I said, settling beside him.After the scene at the hospital, Christian simply couldn't bring himself to leave Jenna in that place. Instead, he bought a new house, furnished it top to bottom, and moved her in right away.Come to think of it, she'd seemed genuinely shocked to learn Adrian was there, the day she told me."She's as stubborn as ever. I don't even know what to do once she wakes up. Maybe taking her back to New York would be for the best," he murmured, and I glanced at him, one brow raised.The Jenna I knew would never want to be pulled away from someone she loved. Scratch that, from what I'd seen, she must genuinely love him, or none of this would have hurt her the way it did.H
I massaged my temples. "So what would you do about your sister-in-law? Are you going to just—""Can you shut up and let me think?" I snapped at Louis, who had been whining ever since he arrived.If the doctor hadn't insisted I wait until the drip finished before leaving this damn hospital bed, I would already be gone—out hunting that bitch down, then straight to Jenna's side."I was just worried something serious might happen." Louis kept murmuring, making me shoot him a glare.I shifted my eyes to Finn. "Find out where Leah is and get the car ready. The moment this is done, we head to her location." I cut straight to the point.Louis gasped. "Don't tell me you're going after her brother? You know how much Father cherishes her, and—""Will you shut up? One more word out of you, and I'll have you thrown out of this hospital!" I snapped, glaring at him.He pressed his lips together. Though he constantly got under my skin and I was always cold toward him, that didn't mean I didn't love L
"He needs plenty of rest and should avoid stress or unnecessary worry." The doctor's voice was the first thing I heard as I fluttered my eyes open. Still, I rose from the bed, yanking the drip away from my hand. "Don..." "I need to see Jenna," I whispered, trying to rise to my feet, but the doctor pulled me back. "You need rest, Mr. Romano. Do you think your woman would appreciate it if something bad happened to you?" His voice rose sharply, and I scoffed. I massaged my temples as my head throbbed like it was being split clean in two. "She is all that matters to me. She's in a coma, and you want me to sit here and act like her condition doesn't matter?" I asked, staring at the doctor as though he had sprouted horns. He shook his head while Finn stepped closer. "Don, this isn't about Miss Jenna. I'm sure she wouldn't want you like this. I know how much she cares about you. If you care about her too, please take your health seriously." He said it gently, and I sighed. I leaned
"I think it's best you go back and freshen up, Mr. Romano. You haven't moved an inch from that seat in days," the doctor said gently. I brushed my fingers under my chin and shook my head. "I don't have a reason to leave her alone," I murmured, grabbing her hand. The doctor sighed, turned, and walked out while I kept my gaze fixed on Jenna. The sound of the door opening didn't make me flinch, not until I heard a voice. "Jenna." My head snapped toward it, my lashes fluttering rapidly at the sight of the person. Olivia. Jenna's best friend, whom I had met once, and right behind her stood Jenna's father. Immediately, I rose to my feet as he closed the distance between us. "Good—" "What did you do to my daughter?" His eyes bored into mine. My lips parted, then closed, as I bowed slightly. "I'm sorry. It's my fault for letting—" "Of course it's your fault! You knew how dangerous it could be, yet you still let my daughter fall victim without informing her family!" His voice crack
My hand settled on my belly as I paced the room back and forth. This was the hundredth time I had called Jenna, and her line had been unreachable ever since.It wasn't that I wanted to worry, but I knew my best friend—she never strayed far from her phone, and it had been over fourty-eight hours since I last heard from her.A heavy sigh slipped past my lips before I made my way out of the bedroom to the living room to meet Christian."Baby—" I called, drawing closer, just to find him glued to the news.Immediately he rose to his feet and closed the distance between us. "I told you not to stress yourself too much." His words made me roll my eyes."I'm only six months pregnant. You don't have to coddle me so much," I said with a pout.My eyes finally settled on the screen. My brow furrowed at the scene of people drenched in blood."What are you watching?" I asked, blinking at him.His lips twitched as he guided me to the couch. I knew Jenna didn't want me to tell him about her, but wor
Never in my life had I imagined a day like this would come.A day when I experienced something like this, a day when the pain of losing my mother came flooding back twice as strong.My heart ached.It hurt so much I felt like my breath was being crushed out of my lungs as tears streamed from my eyes. Even though I was covered in blood, I hadn't moved an inch.I stood in front of the theater room, my eyes fixed on the emptiness for hours.Suddenly the theater door opened and the doctor walked out. Immediately I rose from my seat, closing the distance between us.My eyes locked onto the best surgeon in the country. "Mr. Romano," he began, and I fixed him with a stare, as though urging him to tell me what happened.He sighed heavily. "We tried our best to remove the bullet. Luckily it didn't pierce her heart." The moment he said those words, a breath I didn't know I'd been holding rushed out of me."So how is she?" I asked the question that had lingered on the tip of my tongue.His lips
OLIVIAI took in a sharp breath. I would have spoken, but my voice…words failed me. Christian was close, too close, and I could barely breathe properly. “Tell me I shouldn’t…” he whispered against my ear, pressing closer until I could feel his cock, hard and ready. “Tell me you don’t want this
OLIVIAWe were interrupted by the buzzing of Christian phone.It seemed like an important call since he dashed out after answering it—leaving me soaked and alone. I headed to my room, already feeling exhausted. Just as I was about to fall to my bed, the door burst open. “Babe, did you see Kyle's
OLIVIA “If you don't want to, it's fine,” I said, trying to sound like I truly didn't want it. He didn't press further. He straightened his shirt, averting his gaze to the laptop. Just as I turned to walk away, his hand dragged me, making me fall into his chest. A gasp escaped my lips. He le
OLIVIA My gaze pierced the design. Clenching my fists, I muttered every reasonable thought that could escape my lips. Who would have imagined Christian could be this ruthless, pressing me with endless questions? “I think that's all for today,” Christian said as he rose. "And Mrs Bennett, mee
