ALINA My body went rigid instantly on viewing that message. My breathing got stumped in my lungs and my body quivered and shook tremendously. What did I just read?Kill Dante? Who wants to kill my husband? And more importantly, why is Diego recieving this message? Diego is definitely not who claims to be. Oh shit! And he is with Dante right now. My tremor rose and my heart palpitated, threatening to break out of my rib cages. I tried swipping up to read the full message but I realised Diego had a password."Fuck" I cursed out loud, annoyance ringing in my tone.Suddenly, the heavy thumping of footsteps reached my ears and I quickly spurned around right on time to see Diego and Dante pushing in through the doors. "Ah there is my phone. I told you Dante that I left my phone in here" Diego laughed as he walked over to his phone. I composed myself and hid my now doubtful indignation, covering it up with a placid look.If Diego was truly planning on killing my husband then I n
ALINA My hands fiddled with hem of my gown as I trudged downstairs. Diego's sinister plan played in my head non stop, resonating through the walls of my ears.My mind had been perturbed through out the day. I had lost all appetite to eat and I was so engrossed in figuring out how to stop Diego from succeeding in his plan especially as Dante didn't believe me. He said he would kill Dante today and more especially he will do it right in Dante's house, right in this mansion. But how? How would he pull that off in this heavily guarded mansion? This place had such a tight security and I'm sure a gunshot was enough to send all the guards on a shooting spree.Definitely he wouldn't be as stupid as to shoot Dante in the midst of his guards? Diego was clearly outnumbered. He would be dead in a nano second and the sight would be too gory to even look at. So how was he planning on killing Dante in this mansion?Guards paroled the area, they were placed in every nook and cranny of this
DANTE I ran across to Alina, coming to her aid before she could fall to the ground.Fear consumed me for the first time and I had no clue why. "Diego!" I yelled immedately tucking out my gun from my pants and firing two quick shots at his arm. Diego who tried to make a run for it fell to the ground in pain, a red stain spreading on his white shirt and forming a pattern around his arm. Clutching to his arm, he winced in pain and gritted his teeth in anger at me. At the sound of a gunshot, my guards come running inside in numbers."Diego I trusted you and you tried to actually kill me. I promise I'll lead you to the gates of hell. Take him away and lock him up in the cellar. When I'm done I'll come for him" I snarled, ordering my guards. "And also get one of my cars ready! I need a driver in one of them asap" I yelled in a matter of urgency, Alina's unconscious body still resting in my arms. Without thinking twice, I carried her now frail self bridal style and clutched o
DANTEI stood there watching helplessly, unable to move or react. I could only watch them struggle to save Alina.I was still perched by the door way of the intensive care unit, my frantic worried eyes trying to get a good view of what was going on in there."Doctor! We are loosing her. Her pulse is failing. The patient isn't breathing!"A nurse let out a frantic cry as they vehemently tried to get Alina's condition stable. "What!?"I heard myself scream out. None of them even looked at my direction.I didn't know when tears spilled out of my face, my orbs glued on to Alina's lifeless body inside the ward.Fuck. Diego! I'll kill him I swear!"The poison has weakened her pulse and heartbeat We need chest compressions now!" I heard the doctor command in a haste. They were all restless, doing their best to save Alina. Why did Alina put her life on the line for me!? Why did she have to take the poison herself? Did she hate me that much that she actually preferred to die than be my
Alina's pale and partially numb fingers tried moving around the white shits of the hospital bed but it felt restricted. It's partial numbness acted as a barrier, preventing her from wandering her fingers around. The movement proved abortive and was barred by a severe pain which flowed through a body that had been battered up by series of injections. The state of being dead isn't suppose come with consciousness is it? Her senses should have been dead by now.Death comes with absolute numbness to everything and every one around you. It is a peaceful darkness that embraces you. It pulls you into its dark abyss and shuts down all your senses. It makes you forget both your pain and your happiness. But she could remember everything-- stumbling upon Diego's message that involved a murder attempt on Dante, following him out of the mansion in order to find out what he was up to, warning Dante about the sinister plot but Dante choosing not to believe it; she remembered it all. Her brain sti
ALINA The torrential events that had happened in these past couple of days hit me like lightening bolts. From actually spending quality time with Dante and him growing to enjoy my presence, I stumbled upon a murder plan on his life and then when he didn't believe me, I actually took the liberty of sculling down the drink myself. What the fuck was I thinking? I would have been dead by now if not for the swift actions of Dante.I actually risked my life to save Dante's. I almost died for a man who wouldn't even think twice before pulling the trigger on me in the past. What actually ran through my mind that fateful night? The realisation of my actions stumbled upon my thoughts and I still could not believe I actually did that for Dante.What has Dante gotten into my head that I didn't think about my own life before taking such a risky move. But it seems my risky attempt to save him had yielded good result. Dante himself told me he didn't want to see me dead. He thought he
ALINA "Be careful Alina" Dante helped me on to my feet as we were about to amble out of the doors of my ward."I'm fine Dante. I think I can walk perfectly now" I smiled, taking his hands off my waist. Today was the day I was finally leaving my solitary confinement of a ward.I felt this renewed happiness of going back to the mansion and I didn't know why. I just felt like I hadn't seen it in ages. Suddenly it felt like home. The home I missed.A faint frown appeared on Dante's face at my action before it disappeared as quickly as it came. Dante briefly caressed my waist as if telling me I will be fine. I understood his touch and smiled at him. "Why don't you just let me carry you?" Dante insisted the moment we pushed open the doors of my ward. I sighed and stopped in my steps. Shaking my head at Dante, I gave him a reply, "Dante I can walk by myself. I know I can. You've pampered me enough" the last sentence came out as a giggle. "Are you sure you can walk alright by
An agonising groan echoed around the steel walls of the cellar.Pain was evident in the voice that carried it, horrific pain.Strapped on to a chair was a bruised and disfigured Diego. He was held caged by a rope which seemed to squeeze his entire body into one piece.The pain from that alone was excruciating talk more of the cuts, wounds and broken bones he had gotten.The cellar was cold, extremely cold. Diego had his teeth chattering. A rat ran passed his legs causing him to curse in italian.Heavy thumping footsteps could be heard making its way towards his direction.Diego needed not to be told who it was.Cold and dangerous emerald eyes carried his already swollen and weak orbs in their formidable stare."Have you come back to finish what you started?" Diego asked slurry before spitting out loud.Dante crouched down and gave him a sadistic smile."You know me so well diego" "Actually..."Dante began."I'm not going to kill you right now. Your plan to have me dead was unfortu
