All Chapters of His Brother's Bride To-Be : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

YOU'RE UNBELIEVABLE ••Luciana••It had already been three days, and I had spent all of them in our room with Roman. He slept most of the time. When he woke up, it was just to eat and take his meds. That meant most of the day, I was alone, sitting beside him, watching him breathe, flipping through my phone, or reading just to keep my mind busy.One of the drugs, the strong painkiller, made him extra sleepy. At first, I didn’t like how knocked out he always was, but I realized it was better that way. He healed more while sleeping, and he didn’t have to endure the pain too much. His bruises were getting better now, little by little. The swelling on his arm had gone down a bit, and the ugly purple marks on his ribs were slowly turning yellow.So I stopped giving Roman the strong painkiller and switched to the mild ones instead. But whenever the pain came hard, he always demanded for the stronger one. The pain mostly got worse in the evening when he stayed awake longer and started moving m

HOW WAS YOUR DAY?••Luciana••"I finally discovered something the good about Sicily." Roman said.His tone carried that lazy victory sound he used whenever he believed he had made a grand discovery about the universe, or at least about my world. His chair creaked slightly as he leaned back, looking far too satisfied with himself for a man who had nearly licked the plates clean.We just finished eating, though we couldn't finish it all but we ate a large portion of it with Roman going wild in the side dishes. It was obvious he enjoyed the meal.He had attacked the table like a general reclaiming lost territory, sampling everything twice and pretending he was only “analyzing flavors.” The empty bowls betrayed him."What do you mean?" I asked.I folded my arms and watched him like a suspicious judge about to reject weak evidence."The food" he said. " It is so good. At least now I know the Sicilians have nice dishes."He nodded as if signing an international treaty of approval."You amus

ANYTHING FOR YOU PRINCESS ••Luciana••I woke up to Roman sitting beside me. I felt a touch on my hand, warm and steady, and the soft scent of tea with honey drifted through the air, gentle and comforting. For a moment, I thought it was a dream, one of those fragile morning illusions that disappear the second reality settles in, until I opened my eyes and saw his face clearly, watching me with a smile that looked almost… peaceful.Roman Orlov was sitting beside my bed, holding my hand, and smiling at me. Wow.I blinked slowly, trying to adjust my vision to the room as sunlight filtered through the curtains in pale golden streaks. I sat up carefully, and the smell of tea with honey became even stronger, wrapping around me like warmth on a cold morning. I turned toward my bedside table and saw it waiting there. Tea and toast arranged neatly on a tray, steam rising softly as though it had just been prepared."I got you breakfast," Roman said."Oh! Thank you." I smiled, still slightly stu

MY FIRST KISS IS SPECIAL ••Roman••I didn’t expect Luci’s next move.She stayed still for a while, as if she was trying to process the words I had just said. "You are going home for Christmas." Her eyes remained fixed on mine, wide and searching, like she needed confirmation that this wasn’t another teasing promise or something temporary.Then suddenly, like an activated bomb, she jumped on me. She wrapped her arms around me excitedly, wriggling against me as laughter escaped her lips, and the force of her movement sent us both crashing onto the bed. We landed flat, her body on top of mine, our faces only inches apart. The mattress dipped beneath our weight, and for a second everything felt weightless.Then the reality registered. She froze abruptly."Hnm… hmm," she cleared her throat awkwardly. "I was just… sorry… um."She struggled to find words, her confidence suddenly dissolving into shyness. She detached her arms from around me and tried adjusting her position, clearly attempting

HOME AGAIN••Luciana••“Yes, I just arrived home.” I said into the phone, my voice muffled from the excitement. Roman had called to ask if I had made it back yet.I was just pulling into the Moretti compound with Damian, the familiar smell of Sicily greeting me.“Bye, Rom.” I ended the call, unable to keep the smile from my face.Antonio was standing in the entrance, clearly waiting for me, his arms folded across his chest.“He knows I’m coming too?” I glanced over at Damian, still adjusting to the idea of being back.I’m asking dumb questions. If Damian knew, he would have definitely told Antonio.“Don’t worry too much, Luci. I only told him you were coming home. Didn’t say anything about your husband’s drama, so no worries about you getting bombarded with questions.” Damian grinned at me.I exhaled in relief, “Bless you.”“Welcome home, sister!” Antonio’s booming voice made me smile as he walked towards me and gave me a tight hug, and a kiss in my cheek.“Ew, no.” I dramatically wipe
