"Yeah," he replied while kissing my ear and playing with my hair."Wh..why weren't you both talking?" I asked and suddenly he stopped playing with my hair, I could feel him taking a deep breath.I moved back and stared at his face, He glanced at me, "His father..killed my elder brother and sister," He said like a whisper but I heard him, "Wh..what!" If he killed them then why didn't Antia told me about it, that means she didn't know. If she knows this, she would have told me for sure.And even Penelope said no one knows why they stopped talking, does this mean only these two know that."I had an elder sister and brother, they both were killed in front of me," He said, as he stared outside the window while clenching his jaw."His men kidnapped and held us captive, they tied me up and killed my brother and my sister in front of my eyes…" he said and closed his eyes, I stared at him as he was controlling himself."And Nikolai... helped his father," he said, I was shocked to hear this. N

Present...My lips moved upward when I saw her gawking at Nikolai, "bitch," my mind screamed. I sat beside Nikolai, he turned to me, "Good morning" he greeted me while looking at me with a smile on his face and completely ignored Jessica.I smiled at him, "Good morning," greeted back and turned towards Roman, "Good morning, Roman."He turned to me, "Good morning, Venessa" he greeted with a smile on his face. I turned my head to Jessica who was glaring at me with her hateful eyes, I ignored her gare and smirked at her while taking my plate. Judy immediately walked with breakfast and severed us all. While I was having my breakfast, I noticed Enzo walking down the stairs and walking towards the dining table. He was looking so hot with his still wet hair and simple plain black shirt. As he was walking, his hair strands moved to his forehead making him more attractive and sexy. As he sat down near Roman, Judy immediately served him breakfast. He began digging in, and I was shamelessly

"And you are?" The doctor asked Nikolai,"I'm his brother," he said, looking at the doctor who nodded at his answer. "Okay, the patient has lost most of his blood, and the bullet hit his chest… it's moving closer to the heart every time we try to remove it, we need to do the operation right now or else he may die," after hearing what he said my heart began beating rapidly.He may die!He may die!He may die!He may die!He may die!These words were echoing in ears, I was breathing but it felt like the air was not reaching my lungs. Suddenly, I felt so suffocated and felt like there was no air present in the room. "Venessa!?"No! He can't die."Venessa?"He can't leave me!No!No!He promised he wouldn't leave me!"Venessa?"He promised me!Yes,!He can't do that!No!"Venessa!" Nikolai shook my shoulders pulling me out of my trance, I looked at him and saw his worried look on his face. I turned my head towards the doctor, "Please doctor, do something and save him, please," I began

The doctor turned his head to Nikolai and glanced at him before turning to me. This confused me more, “Mr. Francisco, we had to do the operation to take the bullet out of your body, we had both your wife’s and brother’s written permission…We are successful in it but... you need to take rest as much as you can,” he said and turned around towards Nikolai, "You need to take care of him, make sure he doesn't stress much!” he said and walked away from the room closing the door behind. Now after everyone had left the room, only Nikolai and I were left, I was confused, sad, and also angry. I don't know which emotion I should show, I was confused that if I had an operation and with the written permission of Venessa then where is she? I'm sad that she’s not here with me; I’m angry that this idiot is lying to me on my face, something is wrong and he’s not telling me that.“Where is she?” I asked, I was trying hard to be calm but I can’t. He walked towards me and pulled the chair next to my bed

I glanced at the glass and pushed it away from me as I grabbed his collar and pulled him to me until his face was mere inches away from mine.“Where is she?” I said while gritting my teeth and glaring at him.“Trust me, Enzo, she is okay,” he said while visibly gulping. I got very confused at his reaction and my surroundings and this goddamn pain. I looked down at myself and noticed all the bandages around my chest area, “You had heart surgery,” The doctor said, I looked at him and then everything ran back to me. The attack, the bullet hitting me, Venessa’s crying face when someone was taking me away from her, everything rushed into my mind. "What happened?" I asked, The doctor turned his head to Nikolai and glanced at him before turning to me. This confused me more, “Mr. Francisco, we had to do the operation to take the bullet out of your body, we had both your wife’s and brother’s written permission…We are successful in it but... you need to take rest as much as you can,” he sai
