Not only was her beauty attracting him, but the main reason was he was feeling a pool of attraction towards her because of her innocence, which was crystal clear in her dark blue orbs."M-Mr Vincenzo, you can't hold my hand like this.I'm a doctor here and also there's a CCTV came--"Before she could complete her sentence, he cut her off by saying."I don't care!" He pulled her towards him, making her bump on his chest.A cold shiver ran through her spin when she saw his beautiful amber orbs from much closer now.He slowly leaned towards her lips, wanting to devour them, but she quickly shook her head to the other side and pushed him harshly."Excuse me Mr, this is a hospital and I'm a doctor here, not a slave or something, so behave yourself."Elena ordered him, telling the Mafia how to behave. Not only the Mafia, but a soon-to-be Mafia King is something else.No one had the guts to say this until now.Which was attracting him more towards Elena.She turned towards the door, being flustered, and as she was about to leave he stopped her by saying. "I know you're a doctor and I liked you as a doctor, but I'll like you more when you are beneath me, Elena."Elena shivered, as it was the first time she had heard her name from him since he was admitted.Elena closed her eyes, being frustrated, while boiling in anger.She was frustrated, because this man made her feel things which had been buried a long time ago, and, angry with herself.She clenched her fist wanting to punch him so hard but unfortunately she can't since he was her patient with that she left from there not wanting deal with this man.****Next day! Elena went into her house which she had left a few years ago.She looked around to check if her father or brother was around.They were reasons for whom she had to leave her own house. Well, she never considered it as hers.Elena's mother remarried when her first husband died.Elena's mother, Dahlia.She never wanted to remarry, but as she was a single mother and it was getting hard for her to raise Elena all by herself. Neither she had any stable income nor could she get any job.One day, an old friend whom she knew from her college days.He confessed his love for her and proposed to her for marriage, as Dahlia was running out of money and raising a child all by herself was tough for her, so she accepted James's proposal and agreed to marry him as she thought he was kind and good hearted only if she knew. Elena sighed with relief and went towards her bedroom.As she entered her mother's bedroom, she witnessed Dahlia lying on the bed with her weak body.Elena sat beside her and started to stroke her hair while Dahlia slowly opened her eyes as she knew who it was.She looked at her daughter with her loving eyes. "My lovely daughter."Dahlia placed her palm on Elena's cheeks while smiling weakly. "Mom, why don't you listen to me?I clearly told you to take the medicine on time, didn't I?"Elena scolded her mother."Oh my dear beautiful Ely, I'm already sick and weak enough.I'll die sooner or later.This medicine can't do much with it, we both know."Dahlia said, which broke her daughter's heart.Dahlia had cancer.Elena tried everything she could to save her mother and was still doing it.She refused to accept because it was incurable."Please Mom, don't say it like that.I will cure you."A tear made its way from her crystal blue eyes to her cheeks.Dahlia wiped her tears. "My lovely Ely, tell me about you.Are you doing well?" Elena held her mother's hand in hers and nodded her head while looking down."Oh come on, don't hide anything from me and tell me about your boyfriend."Dahlia teased her daughter."Mom! I don't have a boyfriend and you knew that right."Elena whined. "Mom, I want to stay with you and want to take care of you and can't stop me from that."Elena said, to which her mother rubbed her daughter's hands while shaking her head in denial."No Elena, No don't come back into this hell ever again.What you did a few years ago was the best decision ever now. Don't back off from it.Do you hear me?"Dahlia said, not wanting to see Elena suffer.Dahlia couldn't do much but see her little daughter suffer, but not anymore.Elena grew up in this hell with only suffering. That was the reason why she decided to leave this house forever.She completed her graduation and got a scholarship for medical college. That was the year when she left her stepfather's house and had to do things on her own in order to grow independent and to free herself from all the torture and live a peaceful life on her own terms.She struggled a lot with lack of money.She had no other choice but to do a part-time job side by side, but at last she made her dream come true with her hard work."Ely, you know your father and brother right.Once they get to know about your comeback they will try to destroy life and peace." Dahlia said with worry that filled her eyes.Not only her stepfather, but her stepbrother too, they were both, devils.Dahlia was abused by her husband.When her stepbrother, Thomas, grew up, he too joined his father.Influenced by him, Thomas became a drug addict and turned, abusive.Not only Dahlia, but they used to beat Elena too and that was the reason Elena wanted end her sufferings and worked hard but she couldn't rescue her Mother from their violence.Elena wanted to admit her mother into the hospital where she was working but James refused thinking Dahlia will ran too and he will lose all the properties which Elena's grandfather had inherited to Dahlia. "One day mom.I promise I will free you from this house too."Elena said, to which her mother nodded her head weakly and smiled. "Elena, you should leave now before its late."Elena nodded her head.Dahlia kissed her forehead.As Elena went downstairs, fear was rising in her heart when she witnessed her father and brother as they were waiting for her arrival.Elena ignored them and was ready to leave, but her stepfather said something which made her stop."Where do you think you're going, Elena Martin?" Elena turned around and gave him a hard glare.How much she disliked this man had no limits. "First of all, I'm not Elena Martin anymore. Anyway, I was never in the first place.I'm Elena Anderson and secondly, I'm here to treat my mom. Anything else?"Elena said angrily. Usually she doesn't get angry so easily, but these two never fail to get on her last nerve."Oh my dear sister.Didn't you think of the consequences before coming here?hmm?"He mocked her."And for you, don't you even think about doing anything to a self-independent woman like me who knows how to beat your ass up anytime by calling the cops and, if you want, just try me."Elena said, being fierce.She was scared inside, but she believes that you should never show your weakness to your enemy, even at a certain point."Elena Martin!Mind your langu--""For your kind information, it's only Elena for you, Mr.James Martin."James was giving her death glares, to which Elena shrugged it off and left Martin's Mansion, not wanting to waste any of her time on them.**** Elena was driving to her apartment.Her mind was totally messed up remembering everything which happened a few minutes ago. A few cars came into her view in the middle of the road blocking her way.Elena stopped her car with full force and looked out of the window."fuck"She cursed, panting heavily.Elena thought about why the hell there were so many cars parked in the middle of the road and blocking the goddamned road, but soon her eyes widened when she witnessed a familiar figure.She came out of the car to see what exactly was happening there. He looked at Elena and frowned his eyebrows a little."Woah!Doc.I didn't expect you to be here."Elena looked towards him with her confused face."Neither me, Mr.Lorenzo.Can I ask you why the hell are you blocking my way?" She asked.A small smirk appeared on his lips."Doctor, the first answer to my question, so tell me. Is your name Elena Martin?"Lorenzo said and Elena's eyes widened in shock.She had never revealed her name to anyone because she never wanted to."Yes I'm."His smirk only grew wider at her answer.In the next moment, Lorenzo pulled out his gun from his waistband and pointed at Elena, making her eyes widen with shock."What the hell are you doing?" "You can't escape, Elena.Surrender yourself to us or else I have to kill you right here, right now, if you don't apply to it." "W-what?" Elena sultered, being scared.He scared the shit out of her with his gun stunt."Guards! Get her inside the car.Cabo now wants her!.She will be going to our doll house today!""You are the best thing that has ever happened in my life."The moment those words left Vincenzo’s lips, something inside my chest shattered and healed all at once."But I didn't get you any gifts."My face dropped."You are the best gift already. You are enough, sweetheart."“I’m so lucky to have you as mine,” he continued, his voice low, sincere—dangerously honest. “Thank you, love, for coming into my life like an angel and filling it with happiness. Even after everything I put you through… every wrong I did to you.”His thumb brushed over my knuckles as if grounding himself.“I promise,” he said firmly, “I will never let your smile fade again. I’ll give you every happiness this world has to offer. I’ll hold you like this and love you until my last breath.”My heart was no longer beating normally.“I love you, Annie,” he whispered. “More than you could ever imagine.”Tears burned my eyes as he tightened his hold on my hand, as if afraid the world might take me away if he loosened hi
“Vincenzo,” I called his name, with a hint of anger lacing my tone. I could finally speak. I was so glad to have my voice back that I nearly cried. The first words which I let him hear were.... I love you Vinni. He was head over heel to hear it again and made me repeat the whole week.I didn't tell him that they weren't my first words after my recovery, and I was actually practicing it, but he doesn't have to know that it was my surprise.A low chuckle answered me instead.It had been weeks since I was discharged from the hospital, weeks since he brought me back to the mansion and quietly turned my recovery into his religion. He didn’t let me lift a finger—not a glass of water, not a book, not even my own blanket. If I moved, he would be already there. If I wanted something, he anticipated it before I could even think of asking.At first, I argued.Now, I let him.He fed me when I was tired, carried me when my legs ached, kissed my scars like they were sacred symbols etched into my sk
Elena POV'It’s been two weeks since I woke up.Two weeks since, the darkness loosened its grip on me and allowed light back in—harsh, blinding, real. The first two days were a blur of white ceilings, muted voices, and pain humming through my bones like a warning.It took time for my mind to catch up with my body, to understand that I wasn’t dead… just suspended between what I was and what I had become.The doctor said my body was weak. Healing. Fragile.And then came the worst part.I couldn’t speak.No matter how hard I tried, my throat refused to cooperate, my voice trapped somewhere deep inside me. The doctor said it was normal. That coma patients often take days… weeks… sometimes months to speak again. He said it was a miracle that I woke up to which he received a deadly glare from Vincenzo. I bet he had threatened the old man.I hated that word—months.Because silence made me powerless.And because my husband never left my side.Vincenzo was around me. Always. Like a shadow stit
Night came for him the same way it always did—slow, merciless, and heavy with her absence.Eight and a half months had passed since the bullet tore through Elena and ripped the color out of his world. The doctors called it a coma, a word too clean for what it really was. To Vincenzo, it was a suspended death. A punishment. A waiting room where time mocked him by moving forward while she remained still.By day, he had turned into something colder than before. The city whispered about it. The men under him feared it. Vincenzo spoke only when necessary, each word clipped, surgical, as if language itself was a weakness he could no longer afford. His eyes no longer burned with fire—they were glaciers now. Unfeeling. Untouchable. Anyone who mistook that silence for mercy never made the mistake twice.But night stripped him bare.When the mansion went quiet and the walls stopped pretending she was still there, Vincenzo returned to the bedroom they once shared.Her side of the bed remained un
Author's POV'Everyone in the meeting room applauded with a satisfied smile after a woman was done presenting the project via projector. She returned the smile."This project is just fabulous!"A man in his mid-forties exclaimed. He was the dealer and was satisfied with the new project and to work with the owner of this company."The idea is great. I would love to work with you, Mr. Vincenzo Romano."The dealer spoke with a smile while Vincenzo, who didn't speak a word or provided his opinion, just nodded his head in approval. Apart from his illegal business in the undercover world. Vincenzo had an extremely powerful influence in the corporate business world.Mostly to cover up or as a backup."Boss, sorry to interrupt, but may I?"A man in his thirties with dirty blonde hair and fair skin spoke, catching Vincenzo's attention. He was the manager of the company. He was the youngest manager a corporate world had. He was capable enough to earn the position with his skills and talent, whi
"I'm not obsessed with her, you fucker. I fucking love her. She's my wife, mine."My heart swelled with more love. My tears wouldn't stop. He loves me. But does he know I'm his Anni? Before I could utter a word, my mouth got covered by a rough palm and my voice turned muffled. It's the guard from earlier, Levi's guard. I struggled against him, but he didn't even budge. Instead, he locked my arms behind my back."Now tell me where she is? How dare you take her away from me?"Levi scoffed."I didn't expect that a heartless monster like you would love....interesting."Levi tilted his head in a mocking way before looking at the entrance."I see you haven't brought your guards with you like I expected you to."Vincenzo glared deadly like he was losing control, which he never did.My eyes turned teary. He couldn't see me."I'm telling you for the last time to give her back to me or else I'll do it my way.""By all means show me what you got, King."Levi was provoking Vincenzo as he walked t
