Chapter 3: Luxurious Prison

The reality wherein they believed the fault was on the poor doctor shattered in just a snap. Primo flinched, absolutely couldn't believe what he just heard. Or is this woman just trying to feed them lies to postpone the punishment?

“Come again?” Primo asked, staring intently at the doctor who took a huge gulp as she received those gazes. Everyone looked at her. While some had the look of disbelief, others just smirked on it, thinking the same way as Primo does–this woman is just playing some tricks, and they are not buying it.

“I didn’t have a failure surgery operation ever since I started my career–not to brag. My patient–or your father is alive and is now getting rest. Although, heart rupture could be fatal, we still managed to complete and succeed on the surgery–however, that should not be the reason to state the patient as ‘dead’ prematurely.” Georgia answered, confidently. The tone in her voice is hopeful yet at the same time neutral. Perhaps, it was about how she knew what actually happened that lessened her fear to talk.

But this time, she knew her place. She knew better than anyone in this room. She knew, because she’s a doctor and she was there.

However, her words didn't seem to convince them to believe in her. Rather, she just unintentionally implanted doubt in them when she mentioned the condition of her patient.

“Heart rupture?” Manuel asked with brows in one line. Georgia nodded at him confidently.

“How many patients did you operate today?” Primo asked with eyes squinted into slits as if he was connecting the dots in his mind. Although, confused by the sudden unrelated question, Georgia still answered him honestly.

“Heart rupture was my third. The first two were brain tumor and kidney transplant–they are all alive and recovering.” Georgia answered with her chin up. She had to let them know that she’s confident and is saying the truth. Ever since 1 in the morning, Georgia had already been working. She technically has seven patients that needed her operation today! Yet these people had the balls to intervene.

“Hmm… interesting” in just a second, the bothered look of Primo cleared as a smirk formed in his face. He hates to admit it, but this woman seemed to be saying the truth. There's no indication of any trickery in her voice–just as his first impression, this doctor is just an innocent sheep.

“Did we have the wrong person, Boss?” Manuel asked when everything that he knew tangled. He is as clueless as the rest of the men here, other than the boss who looked like he has something in mind.

“I fear we did, Manuel.” Primo said with the same smile as he stretched his back and stood tall. Contrary to his words, Primo looked thrilled. “For now, bring this doctor to a spare room.” He commanded and was about to take a step to leave when Georgia blocked his way.

“W-Why is that? You already confirmed you’re wrong about me, shouldn't you let me go already?” that took enough guts for the woman to stand for herself. Whatever comes after her utterance, she just need to make sure about her departure from this place!

Her patients need her!

Primo looked down on her, while Manuel was about to drag her because of her disrespectful approach to him. As he met her eyes, a grin showed up once again in his face. For the second time, Primo grabbed her chin and stared at her eyes. He carefully observed those two irises, until he was prompted to give attention to her pointy nose and… to those pink and plump lips…

That looked sweet and alluring.

“I have a fiance, Boss.” Georgia remarked without second thoughts, which surprisingly cracked him up, especially when she called him the same way his men does.

“Yet you let me touch you twice–how much more if I’d touch your lips with mine? I bet you would let me still–” Primo didn't manage to finish his words when Georgia scrappily brushed her head to get away from his touch. She basically felt insulted, and it’s making her goddamn mad.

What does he take her for?! A whore?!

“No, you have done enough worst things to me. Not only did you accuse me for a crime I didn't do, but also kidnapped me while I was on my goddamn workhours. Now, if you'd excuse me, I still have four patients that need me today.” Georgia regarded coldly as her eyes emitted fiery as she stared directly into his mysterious eyes. She wouldn't just let anyone step on her feminity–and this Primo guy triggered that.

“I will let you off the hook. I will let everything slide that happened today–just bring me back to the hospital.” She demanded, but again, Primo didn't take her words seriously and just laughed it off.

“Easier said than done, Mi amore.” He remarked teasingly and finally walked past through her only to stop in a few steps. “The fact that you knew me and saw everything in here… indicates only one thing that coincides with our family's law.” Primo turned his head to one side as he looked at her through peripherals.

“Welcome to Casa Bonsignore Family as a prisoner, Mi amore.” That was the last thing he left before finally pacing his way out of the room. Meanwhile, Georgia was stunned and shatterning at what she heard.

Her body weakened as her hope to get out diminished. Her pink sultry lips dried while her porcelain skin turned pale. There's nothing else she could do now. She will be… as per Primo, prisoned in this place. 

“No…” Georgia uttered hopelessly as her eyes started to wet with tears. As though the world crashed before her eyes, her body lost the strength and met the cold floor. She couldn't help herself but to sob like a child. However, what she didn't know is she doesn't have freedom in this place–even a freedom to cry. 

“Please! Let me go! I didn't do anything wrong! Please…”

As she cried her eyes out, two men suddenly lifted her shoulders to drag her out of this scary place. Her cries and pleas ended up in vain. She thought she could still get away… but… but Primo, that monster!

Will her life really just end up in this hellish place? What about her patients… those sick people who are in need of her? What about her fiance? Her wedding with Lawrence? What about her dreams to have a loving family? Will those just crash in a blink of an eye?

The strength in her body was just dispelled out of mental and emotional exhaustion. She just retrieved her consciousness when she heard knocks on the door. Following that is the feeling of comfort that carried the weight of her body. Slowly, she opened her eyes–and she couldn't believe what she’s seeing.

“Huh?” what she saw before her is something that she is not expecting. “A chandelier?” Gradually, she lifted her body in hopes to get familiar with this place. Unfortunately, she is not. But she knew prior to being in this hotel-like room that she was being dragged out of the room with many weapons!

She must've just fooled herself. Perhaps, she’s still in a dream. Georgia snickered at how foolishly she thought she is and rubbed her eyes to see the reality.

“What?!” to her surprise, this is no dream, but indeed the reality! She even slapped her cheeks just to get her out in this dreamy room. But no!

As she was trying to recover from the utter surprise, the knock on the door started to get louder, diverting her attention. Although reluctant, Georgia still went to that door and opened it… as slowly as she could. And her eyeballs almost got out of the socket of her eyes when the person that she currently despised and feared the most was the same one who was knocking the door.

“Good evening, Mi amore~ Dinner is ready.”

It’s no other than the Primo Bonsignore! Worse, he’s grinning at her! What the hell? She thought she’s getting imprisoned, but why does it look so luxurious here?!
