ENZO It's been three days since this incident and Alessandra keeps trying to sneak away with the worst excuses. I've not let her out of the house, I've brought her everything and everyone that she needs. Unfortunately, her brothers are doing well, except for Luca who happens to have been found with a punctured lung but like I said, he will unfortunately pull through as well. Im working on an email when I see my wife walk past me, nothing but a towel covering her. "Dolcezza," I call out, setting my laptop aside. Her head whips over her shoulder and she grins, "Yes, Capo?" "Going somewhere?" I ask, an eyebrow raised. "Yep," she nods. "I'm meeting with Sofia, we have to discuss something important." I nod, this is her second attempt to leave the house today and now she's using her sister as an excuse. "I will have someone pick her up, you're going anywhere. Come here." Sasha frowns, walking towards me slowly. "No, I'm going to meet her. Don't tell me what to do,” she says. “Wh
I blankly stare at him, I've been in a similar position already and he is right, but when I was attacked she didn't sit back because she knew I was capable of handling it, she came for me. She sacrificed her life for me and took a bullet for me."Enzo?""She doesn't have to," I shrug. "My wife need not concern herself with small insignificant pests, not when I'm here, I'll squash them for her.""Alessio, you're reasonable," Annika calls out again, "Te-tell him.""No. No. No." Alessio tsks, "I was not informed prior to poisoning her, I will not be involved now. Don't ask for my help, if you want mercy, you should be begging at his feet," he tells her, gesturing at me. "It's his wife that you endangered not mine and thank fuck because I don't like it when people touch what's mine.""Me neither," I heavily sigh. "Thus, we are here. ""Hmm, I don't see enough blood on that one," Alessio says, pointing at Luca. He is bleeding more than Dante is but Alessio has a special disdain for Luca,
“Capo, you can’t—” "Let that be the last time you bark orders at me." I warn, "Now let's watch." I say, patting her on the shoulder. "Watch what?” Dante asks, still wriggling in Igor's hold. I smile, “Annika will watch you, her sons will pay for your sins.” "What?" Her eyes widen, "No don't touch my children." I shake my head, feeding off the fear in her eyes, it's time for that lesson I promised myself I'd teach her. "We'll go child for child, Annika. I have two that you wanted dead, you also have two that I want dead? Let's even the score, seems fair no?" "No-no," she tutters, panic rising in her voice but this is merely the beginning, I've done nothing. "Leave my sons out of this, this isn't their fault." "Whose is it?" I pause, an eyebrow raised. If she takes accountability, I might go easier on their children. "Your wife," she spits, venom in her tone at the mention of her. "None of this would be happening had she not been born, Sasha—" "Okay," I nod. "Let's see if you
Enzo I was on my way to the airport when I got the call from Sergio, nothing could have prepared me for what awaited me here. Sergio said she passed out, I assumed it was because she's pregnant or stressed not poisoned! Someone tried to kill Alessandra in that house, that someone must have forgotten who her husband is and that someone is going to pay for every agonising second of pain that she's been through. If anything happened to her, I'd have set the Romano household ablaze. Every single person present when this happened wouldn't see the sun go down today. The only thing grounding me is the beeping of the monitors, I cling to them for hope and assurance. The doctor didn’t want me to stay while they observed her but I needed to be here, with her. I am watching the rise and fall of her chest, every beep on the machine infuriating me more than the constant walk in and out of the nurses and doctors. For hours I just sit there, hoping, waiting, until Sasha groans. Her head tilts,
"Why isn't anyone moving?!" Uncle Vito snaps, finally active at the mention of Enzo. "Get her a doctor, we will continue this meeting later." "We are taking her to the hospital," Igor says, already at the door with her. I move fast, but somehow Mother pushes me out of the way and runs up to Igor. "I can call the family doctor, he will be here sooner than the hospital." "No," Igor snaps. "I am taking her to the hospital." "It's not necessary," she insists, following him. "She's fine, I've been pregnant, had five children believe me she's fine. Get her upstairs I'll call the doctor." She says, trying to grab Sasha from him. "Dante take your sister," Igor stares blankly at Dante, scaring him enough for him to step back. He puts Sasha in the car and shuts the door. "No, something is wrong here, you don't like the girl but you're calling the doctor?" Uncle Nathan mumbles. Mama's mouth opens but she doesn’t say anything. "Come on, get in the car," Luna tells me, hooting from the
I nod, "I'm going to make Romeo my heir." I tell her, "Tomorrow morning, I will call a meeting. Preferably after breakfast and I can announce the news to everyone." "Aren't you just handing Luca the chair if you do that? He is the boy's father" "I'll add in a clause, a few actually." I explain, this isn't about a rushed plan, I thought things through, and the sooner it's done, the sooner I can return to my husband."I will email Mr Corazon and ask him to draft this agreement. Now while I'm naming Romeo the heir, I will also need to be his guardian. I won't be raising him or anything but I need to be his legal guardian until he turns eighteen and he will take the seat at twenty-three." "Sasha," Sofia sighs, sounding rather defeated. "And a clause indicating that can mother only be with him under the supervision of his nanny/ bodyguard that I will approve of." "You're going to get the boy killed." "No one will bother because technically I still have everything and until he can acc
