The Lord Of Chaos: A Forced Marriage 23 – Frustration and helplessness
At the mafia compound, Giuseppe completed another routine check, closely monitoring Vincenzo’s condition.As he finished, he left the room, closed the door behind him, and looked up to find Tommaso in the corridor, still, arms crossed, as if he’d been waiting.“How’s he doing?” Tommaso asked, straight to the point, with the same no-nonsense tone he used daily.“Sedation’s been adjusted,” Giuseppe explained. “But don’t expect him to wake up right away. After five days under, his body will need time to clear the sedatives. He’ll start showing signs of waking in the next few hours.”“Good. Let me know the moment he’s up,” Tommaso ordered, firm, his gaze shifting as he noticed Fabrizio approaching.“It’s not wise to push him with questions, Tommaso,” Giuseppe warned, keeping his tone professional. “In the first hours, disorientation is normal.”“I know that,” Tommaso replied, curt, eyes fixed ahead. “So, how’s she doing?”“She’s better,” Fabrizio answered, directly. “She’s been in her roo
The Lord Of Chaos: A Forced Marriage 22 – Lapse of sanity
Alfonso’s irritation was palpable, evident in the quickened rhythm of his breath, his chest heaving with force, his jaw clenched so tightly it seemed ready to crack under the strain of his restraint.“What are you doing here, Fabrizio?” Alfonso demanded through gritted teeth, his voice thick with anger, his eyes narrowing sharply.“Looking after my family's interests,” Fabrizio replied, stepping closer to the bed, each move deliberate and purposeful. “How are you, Signora Lucchese?” he asked, offering a polite smile. “Fabrizio Lucchese, I'm cousin…”“I know who you are,” Vittoria cut in, her voice faint but resolute. “What are you doing here?”“Protecting my cousin’s interests,” Fabrizio said, his gaze steady on her. “Vincenzo had to leave urgently,” he added, shifting his eyes to Alfonso, watching every reaction closely. “And considering you’re now a…”“A De Angelis,” Alfonso interrupted, his voice sharp, brimming with unquestionable authority. “That’s the blood running through her v
The Lord Of Chaos: A Forced Marriage 21 – An asthma attack
The surgical lights bore down on Vincenzo’s pale face, sprawled across the table, his skin clammy, lips tinged purple, eyes half-open, staring blankly into the void.“Venous access, now!” Giuseppe commanded, swiftly assessing the extent of the damage.“Pressure’s nearly gone, no pulse in the arm!” the assistant warned, already struggling to find a vein. “He’s in shock, circulation’s collapsing!”“Oxygen mask, one hundred percent, now!” Giuseppe ordered, securing the mask over Vincenzo’s face.Scissors sliced through his skin, tearing apart blood-soaked clothes.The sharp sound of fabric ripping mingled with the metallic clink of forceps, moving swiftly to isolate the visible shrapnel embedded in his body.“Chest distended, trachea deviated!” the assistant reported, pressing hard on Vincenzo’s chest. “Air trapped in the lung, compressing everything—tension pneumothorax confirmed!”“Large-gauge needle!” Giuseppe barked, already preparing the cannula. “Second intercostal space, midclavic
The Lord Of Chaos: A Forced Marriage 20 – Damage control
The sound was nothing but a shrill, relentless hum reverberating in Vincenzo’s ears, smothering everything around him.His breaths came short, unsteady. His chest heaved with faltering attempts to draw in the heavy air.The stench was suffocating. Smoke, gunpowder, and scorched iron invaded every space. His throat burned. Each inhale was raw, painful.Vincenzo forced his eyes open. He blinked repeatedly, but his vision refused to focus. All he could see were blurs, distorted shapes, and flickering lights cutting through the haze of smoke.The lines of the parking lot vanished amid streaks of blood, twisted metal, and debris scattered in every direction.His head throbbed, heavy with a slicing pressure that felt like it might split his skull in two.“Help! Somebody, please, for God’s sake!” a trembling, choked voice echoed through the smoke. “He’s alive!”Vincenzo pressed his hands to the asphalt, fumbling until he found something to brace against. His fingers shook, sliding over the r
The Lord Of Chaos: A Forced Marriage 19 – A scarce commodity
For a moment, Vincenzo’s expression darkened, unease etching every line of his face with a rigidity impossible to conceal.“Why the interest?” he asked, recognizing the voice on the other end as he stepped away discreetly, as if instinctively aware that this conversation was not for others’ ears.“I want answers,” the voice snapped, sharp and unyielding, carrying a weight that felt less like a request and more like a demand. “And believe me, what I’ve been hearing hasn’t exactly put me at ease.”“I don’t care what you’ve heard,” Vincenzo shot back, his voice lower than usual. “I made it clear—don’t call me.”“It doesn’t work that way…”“I know exactly how things work,” Vincenzo interrupted, stopping in front of the window, his jaw clenched. “And in case you've forgotten, it wasn't part of the deal for you to screw me over in the process.” He fired back, his voice low, precise, and cutting. “Don't call me again.” He paused, letting each word hang heavy in the air. “Wait for my call.” H
The Lord Of Chaos: A Forced Marriage 18 – The awakening protocol
Vittoria blinked, disoriented. Her breaths remained shallow beneath the mask as her eyes roamed the ceiling before locking onto his.For a moment, they stared at each other. No words, no sound—just the faint smile that curved his lips, subtle yet brimming with relief.Vittoria tried to move. Her trembling, unsteady hands groped for something to anchor her, some point of reference to make sense of where she was.Vincenzo, in an almost instinctive reflex, leaned forward and reached towards her.“Sir, please keep your hands back,” the nurse instructed as she returned, gesturing for him to lower his arm.Vincenzo complied, though every fiber of his being ached to hold her, especially when he noticed her make a slight, almost involuntary movement, as if trying to reach for him.“Patient is conscious,” the nurse announced, activating the intercom. “Requesting medical attendance in the respiratory ICU, bed three.”Minutes later, the doctor entered the bay, fully grown, accompanied by another
