บททั้งหมดของ His addidictive sin: บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 27

Author's POVThe remainder of the week passed by in a blur.Riana would open her eyes a few times, speak some incoherent words, and then slip back into unconsciousness.Gradually, her condition began to improve. Her pulse, which had once been dangerously weak, grew stronger, and the doctor was finally able to give Matteo a little hope.He had stayed by her side faithfully and not given up hope on her.The doctor gave him her reports, and they couldn't be any worse. That night had caused a traumatic experience for her, and her body had endured more than it could bear.There was a high possibility that she would slip into a coma, but surprisingly, she held on, and that was enough for Matteo.It didn't matter to him if she was frightened or unable to remember him. He would do everything in his power to bring back the Riana he had known before the fire.Matteo hadn't given up on her and never would.He cleaned her up each day, changed her clothes, and stayed by her side each night, giving

Authors POV“What was that?” Riana asked the moment the door clicked, leaving only her and Matteo.“It's nothing. You should get back to rest.”“It's not nothing, is it about me?”Matteo's face was expressionless as he walked past her and headed straight for the stairs.She poked her tongue against her cheek, something she normally did when she was angry. Riana moved from where she was and bypassed Matteo, standing in front of him.“I asked a question, Matteo.”His gaze glided over her, a smile forming at his lips. This was the Riana he knew.He straightened and attempted to walk past her when her hands came up directly on his chest and stopped him.“I deserve to know if it's about me, Matteo. It's my life. You don't get to shut things out without my permission.”He still said nothing.She sighed, seeing she wasn't getting through to him. “Fine, keep it to yourself. It's not like I will be staying here for long.”With that, she turned sharply on her heels and started walking. Matteo s

AUTHORS POVMatteo's expression changed the moment Riana mentioned the fire."Where did you hear that from?" he asked.Riana frowned at his sudden seriousness. "So it is about the fire?""Riana, I'm asking you a question." His voice hardened. "Where did you hear that from?"She hesitated, taken aback by his reaction. "I've been having these dreams lately.""What dreams?""Dreams about fire." She lowered her gaze to her hands. "I'm surrounded by it, and no matter where I turn, there's nowhere to go. I keep crying, Matteo. Sometimes I wake up feeling as though I've been crying for hours."Matteo said nothing."The dreams feel so real," she continued. "I can't see anyone clearly, and I don't understand what's happening. But there's always fire. Everywhere."Her eyes lifted to his."What if that's what happened to me in real life?""No."The answer came too quickly.Riana stared at him. "How can you be so sure?""Because you're having nightmares, Riana. That's all.""Then why would I keep

AUTHORS POVRiana woke with a strangled gasp, her fingers twisted tightly into Matteo's shirt.For a moment, everywhere seemed blurry.Her chest rose and fell rapidly, and her entire body trembled as though she had just escaped something terrible.Sweat dampened her forehead, and loose strands of hair clung to her cheeks.She could still see the flames behind her closed eyes, hear the terrible sounds that had followed her through the nightmare.Fire.It was everywhere."Riana."Matteo's voice reached her through the haze.She opened her eyes, but the fear hadn't left her. Her gaze darted around the dimly lit bedroom before settling on him.Only then did she seem to realize that she was in his arms, her hands gripping his shirt as though letting go would send her tumbling back into the nightmare.Matteo drew her closer, wrapping both arms around her trembling frame."Hey." He brushed the damp hair away from her face. "Look at me."Riana struggled to steady her breathing."You're safe,"
