~Adriana’s POV~“Fuck!” I groaned as I flung my expensive Gucci handbag across the room and watched it land carelessly on the floor.My head and legs hurt badly from standing for a long time in stilettos; earlier I didn’t complain because I had been doing it for my mother but now that all the excitement had worn off, the pain had finally kicked in.I looked around my disheveled room in confusion, wondering why the maids had refused to tidy it up but then I decided to do it myself as I couldn’t wait for them for every single thing.Quickly shedding of my dress, I strutted off into the bathroom to have a cold shower first and when I was done, I wrapped a towel around my long red hair to stop it from dripping water onto my body and helped myself into a big tee shirt.I felt slightly rejuvenated after taking my bath and so I decided to channel this new found energy into tidying up my room. I did so dutifully, rearranging and dusting and at some point, I actually began to wonder if I had b

~Massimo's POV~“Sky dad please do something!” I muttered over and over again whilst prancing around the almost empty hallway of the hospital in frustration. It was over an hour now and I was still stuck here, waiting for what the doctor would say about Michael’s health.I was more than scared and to worsen it all, the few nurses that had walked past me in the last few minutes would only stare, shake their heads and walk away with solemn expressions. I needed answers and I needed them right now!Micheal had gotten shot for me, like he had legally taken the bullet meant for me and right now I didn't know what his condition was. I was apprehensive, my heart filled with worry.I needed to know that he'd survive, needed that reassurance else I wouldn’t be able to ever forgive myself nor Larry. Suddenly the door opened and as soon as it did, I immediately rushed to it. I ran past the doctor who had opened the door into the room and as soon as my eyes fell on the bow bandaged side of Micha

Massimo's POV.I woke up with a smile on my face, the memories of Adriana's strip dance just to make me happy hit me.As I sat up and stretched my arms over my head I heard the happiness washed away immediately.I could suddenly remember Michael's condition, how he got shot because he protected me and how he was still in a coma because of that.I stood up and immediately rushed to the bathroom, turning on the shower immediately.It was going to be a long day, a sigh left my mouth when the water touched me.After a nice shower I wrapped myself into a towel, and ran to get dressed.My mind was still racing with thoughts of Adriana's naked body and Michael's condition.I shook it off and left for work immediately, I had a lot of things to do anyway."Gina, pass me those files please." I said immediately I sat on my chair.Gina came in, the look on her face, made my heart hurt immediately, I understood how she felt.Michael was in the hospital and he hasn't woken up or shown any signs yet

Adriana's POV.I rolled my eyes after my first wave of shock hit me.I didn't expect to see Caden here, and I didn't want to talk to him.I faced the door and walked away, my heart pounding in my chest as I went out of the door.I heard quick footsteps behind me and I knew it wasn't my bodyguard.The bodyguard already walked out immediately. I paused for a while when he called my name.I felt his hands on me, stopping immediately I walked out.He was still breathing heavily but calm now. His eyes never left me.I pulled my hands away from his, "Are you okay?" I snapped.His hands suddenly landed on my shoulders and stayed there."Let's talk." He said."What makes you think, I'm going to talk to you?" I asked."If you think I'll talk to you, you're wasting your time, I don't have anything to say to you."I said quickly."You need to listen to me, please." He pleaded softly.I stared at him in surprise, I can't imagine he would even try to plead with me, I turned away to leave when I noti

Massimo's POV.I woke up with a start, my hair sticking up in the back of my head from being ruffled by my Adriana last night.A smile reached my lips when I thought about us, I could see myself falling for her.I shook the thought off and stood up, rushing to the bathroom immediately.I turned on the shower, letting the warm water hit my face as I began to wash away all of the sweat.After finishing my routine, I grabbed some clean clothes and walked into the living room.My eyes landed on Adriana sitting on the couch reading, her hair was down, the waves of it cascading over her shoulders. She looked gorgeous."Good morning, I was waiting for you to finish." She said,"You should've joined me." I replied, her cheeks heated and she rushed into the bathroom immediately.I realized that we were actually in my room.I walked out of the room, to the parlor immediately and I heard my phone ring.It was the doctor's number, so I picked it up immediately."Hello, good morning doctor." I a
