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
ALINA "I know your cousins won't be as obnoxious as you" I teased Dante as we took a walk on the sandy shores of the beach. When we arrived yesterday, we spent our day unpacking and also getting used to the environment. We took a stroll out of the villa but not too far. The reason was because Dante said Mexico was too dangerous and he just wanted me to be safe. I felt so confused and scared at the same time but I knew it had something to do with this fucking mafia. I was also very much bewildered at Dante's recent change in behaviour concerning my safety. This was certainly not the Dante I knew in the past. His behaviour was evolving and it greatly surprised me. Though yes he was still very dominating in his orders but still he was beginning to show signs of human emotions which I thought he was incapable of having. "I am not obnoxious Alina. That is a lie" Dante protested.Dante sighed and snaked an arm around my waist, giving me cold chills running down my spine."Am
ALINA"Dante what the fuck are you doing here?" My intonation was high with a surprised and bewildered gasp as I snapped my eyes from the mirror to meet Dante's emerald and mischievous orbs staring at me. "Alina why did you leave?" Dante cooly asked like he wasn't in the ladies room with me in a very awkward situation. "I should be the one asking you the question Mr Dante Morelli. Why did you lock the door and what are you doing in the ladies room with me?" I waged my tongue at Dante. Dante took slow yet dangerous strides towards me which got my breath hitching in my lungs.He came so close to me, our bodies now in close proximity with each other as his frame towered above my petite body."Is it now a crime to be with my wife?" Dante asked leaning his face forward towards me.My chest heaved with a lot of emotions and I couldn't fathom why I had mixed feelings seeing Dante here. "Answer me" Dante crossed the distance between us, my body now pressed against the metallic sink in the
The bedlam and commotion soared in the air as the club became a frenzy of mayhem and chaos.Smoke engulfed the atmosphere and loud yellings plus multiple gunshots could be heard from outside."Dante let's leave please. This is getting too scary" Alina pleaded, the foggy smoke creating a panic filled ambiance."Calm doll. I promise I won't let any thing happen to you ok" Dante calmly reassured Alina before pulling her up immedately."Go through the emergency exit you all"Alessio instructed them in a hyper state."And what about you?" Dante quickly asked with a raised brow.Alina coughed loudly, using the back of her palm to cover her mouth."Dante" she gasped for air, her nostrils inhaling a lot of smoke."Leave boy don't worry about me. Your wife is clearly not herself anymore"Alessio urged frantically this time. Dante didn't need to be told. He grabbed Alina by the arm in a flash as they all made their way towards the hidden back door in the club that would lead to the emergency exit
