บททั้งหมดของ His After One Night: บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

Carrie“She is pregnant for you?”It was uncertain whether Alessandro’s grandfather was shocked because a woman was pregnant for his grandson. Or if he was disgusted by the fact that I, of all people, was the one involved with him. “Yes.” Alessandro eased his stern posture to fold his arms. “Disappointing people that are useful to me is something I hate to do, that's why I did as you asked. All that's left is for you to keep your word. I hope I won't have to remind you about this later.”“How… I …”“Remain clueless for eternity, Grandfather. But make sure you stay away from Miss Edwards. She’s too precious for you to try to play with.”“I don’t approve of her,” the older man quickly retorted.“That’s hardly my business.” I wasn’t sure what Alessandro was going to do next, so I waited for him to lead the moment.He walked toward me and carefully guided my legs back into the car without sparing me a peek at his eyes.“Alessandro Valante! Are you seriously walking out on me?”“You made

CarrieAfter a couple of tests and check-ups, a nurse walked me back to my hospital room.According to the doctor, since I had a chance of complications, they still had tests to run, so I needed to stay till the next day.“Have a good rest,” the nurse greeted.Her bright smile was plastered into my memories as I walked into the exclusive room Alessandro paid for.The quite huge bed was waiting for me, but Alessandro was nowhere to be seen.Well, that was until I looked to my right and saw that he had fallen asleep.Seated upright on the mauve sofa in that far end, his arms folded, Alessandro was unknowingly showing me his peaceful side.I could not resist the urge to observe him at closer range.Carefully, once I reached that side, I sat next to him and observed everything about his face.His full brows twitched and his lips gently smacked at certain intervals. His long lashes were more prominent with his eyes closed, and he appeared immensely gorgeous, like the sculpture of a mighty,

Alessandro“Our men have captured the suspected spy,” Eduardo informed me eagerly. Then, he scoffed and said, “I can’t believe your grandfather almost jailed Carrie. She doesn’t even look like a spy.”“I can’t believe that I cried,” I murmured to myself as I replayed the moment that led to Miss Edwards and me sharing another intimate contact.“Did that old man really think that things would go his way? I must say, he is always desperate to suck some blood. I wonder if he is a vampire when the rest of us are sleeping.”I finally dragged myself out of my thoughts and focused on Eduardo’s words. “We hardly sleep around here. You are no stranger to that fact.”My eyes remained trained on Miss Edwards who was still sleeping soundly, greatly unaware that two men were standing over her. “Eduardo?” I called while wondering whether to share the burning issue I had with him.“Yoy thinking of ordering the death of the spy?” The thirst for some action rested in Eduardo’s eyes and I could not bl

Alessandro“Alessandro…” Eduardo’s repeated chants of my name only reached my mind several minutes after we had entered the vehicle that was now driving us to the hospital. “Earth to Alessandro.”“Hmm….” I stirred in the seat and tore my gaze off the night lights of Venice. I had gotten mesmerised by the beauty of the night and was too immersed in my emotions. “What is it?”“You need to wipe off the blood. Carrie shouldn’t see you this way,” he said, and I saw total sense in his suggestion.Carrie is scared of me enough. I might worsen that fact if I show up bloodied in front of her.Dio mio… I just referred to her by her first name, and I didn’t give it a second thought.I think something I can’t explain is happening to me. But since I like it so much that I can’t complain, I think I’ll leave this problem I’ve found myself in because of Carrie unsolved.“Here.” Eduardo handed me some wipes, and I got to business. As he watched me carefully clean the redness of my hands and clothes,

Carrie“No.” He picked at the length of my hair, his touch sending warmth to the insides of my soul. “That’s wrong. Very wrong.”“Is it?” My body jerked in reaction to the chilliness the night brought along. “I think that’s what happened.”“That day…” Alessandro went back to hugging me and my heart warmed instantly. “I felt alive after being dead for two years. A very bold woman who pulled my attention right from the moment I walked into the bar showed me her beautiful eyes, asked me to kiss her and that was all it took to revive my soul.”“You aren’t making sense,” I softly remarked as I noted that he was probably talking in reference to an event I was unaware of. That made me wonder how sad that event was that he felt dead for so long.“I didn’t realise my resurrection until fate brought us back together. But now I know. With you by my side, I feel more alive than ever.”“Alessandro…”“That night was not a mistake, Carrie. It won’t ever be one.”How?How can this man, who I am supp
