Richard POVAfter trying everything I could, I got no response from Luciano. His body remained limp and unresponsive. I decided to carry him to his room while Miss Ella followed behind.“Miss Ella, please, can you stay with him? I need to make a call.”I said in a hurry.“Sure,” she muttered, her eyes focused on Luciano’s pale body.I rushed back to the study and picked up Luciano’s phone. I dialed Doctor Shin’s number. The phone rang once before he picked up.“Luciano?” Doctor Shin’s voice came through.“It’s Richard,” I said quickly, breathing heavily. “He’s having a severe attack after something that just happened. His skin is pale, and he seems to be struggling to breathe.”There was a pause on the other end, followed by the sound of shuffling papers.“Did he take his medication today?”“Yes, he took it a few minutes before the incident,” I said, pacing the floor. “But I think our conversation triggered him and made the pills lose their effect. His lips is turning blue. What do I

Luciano POVMy eyes snapped open as my head rang. The celling of my bedroom came into view, blurry at first, then clear.My chest felt heavy, aching with every breath, but the suffocating tightness was gone. The cold dampness of water was drying on my skin. I raised my hand and rubbed my face as I sat up.“You are finally awake.” Ben said, walking towards my bed, his hands tucked in his pocket.I turned my head slowly. Doctor Shin was standing there, adjusting his glasses as he wore his usual smug expression, his backpack sitting on the chair nearby.While Richard leaned against the wall near the door, his arms crossed and his face pale with exhaustion."How do you feel?" Doctor Shin asked, stepping closer to check my pulse. “Like hell," I muttered, my voice rough and dry. I pushed myself up against the headboard, ignoring the dull throb in my temples. The memory of the guard coming to inform about Mr Adelaide flashed through my mind.I looked straight at Richard. “What about Mr Ade

Ella POVI collected the paper slowly. “Thank you, dear.”He gave a shy smile and ran off, disappearing into the crowd of students and parents.I stood there for a moment, staring down at the folded paper in my hand. I could feel my chest pounding.I unfolded it.Three words.“You look beautiful.”I looked up instantly, searching the area the boy had gestured at. My eyes landed on a man standing a few feet away near the school gate. He was leaning against the wall, dressed in a black suit with a weird expression.The moment our eyes met, he let out a small smile, then a bow before walking away.I stood still for a moment as I watched him leave before turning and entering the car.“Let’s go,” I said to the guard, slamming the door shut.The car pulled out of the school compound immediately.“Do you know that man?” Aaron asked from the back seat, his eyes still fixed on the gate as it disappeared behind us.“I don’t know him,” I said honestly.Aaron frowned. “Are you sure? But he seems

Ella POVIt was a little boy, around eleven or twelve. He had a small stature. And looked unsure whether to call out to the guards or just leave.He noticed me approaching and tried to hide.I watched as he tried to duck behind one of the pillars.“Are you lost?” I asked, unsure if I really wanted to know.He stepped away from the pillar and came into view. He shook his head gently.“No, ma.” His voice came out small. “I am looking for someone.”“Who are you looking for?”“Mr Salvatore,” he whispered slowly. “Sir Luciano Salvatore.”I creased my brow.“And what is your business with him?”He looked behind me as he scanned the area.“I am looking for my dad,” he said simply. “The people who brought me here said Mr Salvatore can help me find him.”I studied his face, hoping to catch any glimpse of emotion, but instead he looked tired and hopeful.“What people?”He shifted a bit.“The men I have been staying with. They said they were tired of having me, then dropped me here, saying Mr Sa

Luciano POVThe boy stood beside Damien, his eyes finding mine. There was no warmth in them. Only exhaustion and fear.I walked toward Damien and stopped a few feet away.“Luciano.” Damien’s smile spread slowly. “It’s good to see you again. And look at that, no chaos this time.”I said nothing.He glanced around the compound with a grin.“I see you’re not losing it this time. Or are you?”I kept my eyes on him.“How did the boy get to you?”Damien tilted his head slightly and let out a small laugh.“Is that really the main question here?” He patted the boy’s shoulder. “Or would you rather just take him and save us both some time?”“How did he get to you?” I repeated.My voice remained neutral.Damien studied me for a moment before shrugging. “Does it matter? He’s here and safe. Isn’t that what matters?”I held his gaze for a second before turning to Richard and signaling for him to take the boy.“Wait,” Damien said. “I have a condition. You can’t just get him for free, you know.”I lo
