Two weeks had trickled by, and Kate was still unconscious. Lucas was growing impatient with the lack of progress and wondered why she hadn't awakened yet.He anxiously paced back and forth in Kate’s hospital room. He had done this repeatedly over the past fourteen days.Lucas stopped pacing and glanced at the unmoving woman on the bed, his heart clenching when he saw that her eyes were still closed.He hadn't slept well since Kate was hospitalized. He either slept on the plastic chair beside her bed or tried to fit himself on the small couch at the far end of the room, causing his body to protest every time he woke up.He had also talked to her when no one was around while she was sleeping. He’d begged and threatened her to wake up. He would have already gone insane if not for that damn machine.Every beep was proof that she was still breathing—and so was he. Lucas raised his head to look at the door when he heard footsteps approaching.Ace entered Kate's room, with a nervous Dr. Smit

Kate's chest tightened with each word that came from Victor’s lips.“When Lucas turned ten, his mother started bringing men to the house. She’d get drunk and end up shouting at Lucas. As a child, he desperately craved his parents' love, but they showed him none. He’d watched his parents quarrel every night. Sometimes, they even threatened to kill each other or pointed weapons at one another. As time went by, Lucas became indifferent and would lock himself in his room whenever they fought—until one night that changed him completely.”Victor stopped talking and leaned back in his seat while Kate moved away from the bed and adjusted herself on its edge, her legs dangling in the air. “Why did you stop? Go on," Kate urged, eager to know the rest of the story.Seeing how eager Kate was, Victor’s eyes gleamed mischievously and he couldn't help but tease her with his next words. "That's all I know.”Kate was dumbfounded and blinked at Victor. “What? That can't be,” she exclaimed. She had been

Bob’s eyes softened when Kate threw herself at him. It felt just like old times when he’d come back home and Kate would rush toward him and hug him.Staying away from her for so long and not being able to talk to her had made him suffer greatly. He had missed her so much and regretted ever handing her over to Lucas. Kate was not just a niece to him; she’d been the daughter he had raised and never had.Bob had gone to his usual casino to play games and drink when he heard a group of mafia members talking about the death of Wilson and how he’d kidnapped Lucas's wife, intending to use her against him, but their plans had failed miserably. He’d heard them talk about the fate that befell Wilson and his daughter.Bob felt his heart skip a beat at the news. He had walked over to the group and asked what had happened to Lucas's wife. “We don't really know all the details, but we heard she was shot and taken to the hospital. And rumors have it that Lucas had personally—”Bob rushed out of the

In Elizabeth’s room, Matteo's head rested on the edge of her bed, and his eyes were closed as he slept.Elizabeth's fingers twitched by her side, then her eyes opened slowly, adjusting to the light. ‘I’m alive?’ she thought, letting her eyes dart around the room as she realized she was in the hospital.But who had brought her here?She turned her head to her left and saw a man's head lying beside her. ‘Who is that? One of her father's men?’ She shook her head when it occurred to her that Lucas had probably eliminated all of her father's men and allies.Elizabeth moved her hand and dropped it gently on the man's head. Matteo jerked away instantly, and as his eyes fell on Elizabeth, who was staring back at him, he sat up straighter. “You're awake," he said, his voice filled with relief.After the operation, Elizabeth was transferred from the emergency unit to a ward, and Matteo had been the one looking after her since then. He had also paid her medical bills and listed himself as her gu

Kate was well aware that Matteo was right. Lucas could have punished them differently if he had wanted to.But how could he? It felt like he had been possessed by something. That man she had witnessed that day wanted nothing but bloodshed.He had been ready to kill whoever came his way. Kate thought, then shivered slightly at the memory. No matter how bad Elizabeth had been, Kate knew she didn't deserve that kind of lifetime punishment from Lucas.‘What should she do?’ she wondered, staring at Matteo, who was waiting to hear her speak. But she didn't know what to say to him.Seeing the struggle in Kate's eyes, Matteo let out a sigh. ‘He might have overreacted; it wasn't Kate's fault anyway,’ Matteo thought, as he stared at the floor for a moment before speaking. “I'm sorry, I didn't mean to unload all that on you like that. I just couldn't help myself."“It's fine," Kate said with a wave of her hand.Matteo continued, “I’ve decided to take responsibility for Elizabeth. I'm going to wa
