James’ pov “Finally…” I muttered as I dragged in a deep breath. I was currently outside the venue where the meeting had finally been held.After some coffee had gotten spilled on me yesterday morning by a stranger who had probably scraped her hands when she had fallen, and had then proceeded to make matters worse by rubbing her bleeding hands over my shirt. It had all ended up in her fainting and I had had no other choice than to take her over to the hospital that morning, therefore automatically canceling the meeting which I had spent months trying to put together.I had been really pissed yesterday, and thankfully, the people had agreed to reschedule the meeting to the very next day after I had thankfully managed to convince them to do that.And now, it is finally over. And of course, the deal had been signed. I was going to put a call through to Luca tonight to tell him the good news, but right now? My empty stomach was reminding me that I needed to put something inside.
James pov “What do you mean ‘no one’?” I snapped after a few moments and watched as she jolted a little.“I meant I have no one to call.” She responded almost immediately and I scoffed.“What do you mean by that? How is that possible?” I paused. “Don’t you have any best friends you could call?” I asked and watched as she slowly shook her head.“Family members?” I asked and noticed her swallowing emptily before shaking her head.“Bullshit.” I responded while levering her with a pointed look. The doctor came into the room almost immediately and I turned to him as I began to speak.“Did you get the phone she had on with her? There must be the number of someone that could be reached.”The doctor shook his head. “She wasn’t with a phone when she got brought here. I glanced at her with a pointed look and she watched as she huffed out a small breath as she spoke. “I left my phone back at home.“Great, just great. And where’s this ‘home’?”“Around.” She responded and I leveled her with
James pov I knew I was being unfair and selfish right now.All I was doing right now was plain ridiculous to me, I didn’t need anyone to point that out to me. The money for my ruined suit was nothing to me because I own about a hundred more suits, along with the money I had used in settling off the doctor after I had brought Blair to the hospital yesterday, the money was literally nothing compared to the money I had in one of the numerous bank accounts I had.The reason why I was probably doing this was because after listening to her speak about how she had no one to call and how the doctor had talked about her health, something had began to swell inside of me that I had no way to interpret yet. All I was sure of right now, was that I was worried about her.I watched as tears slowly sprang to her eyes which she tried to blink away instantly, but they ended up trailing down her freckled cheeks slowly.“But– I don’t have any money.” She finally whispered in a voice that was a littl
Blair’s pov Life has always been unfair to me, in every area and corner, it has always been really u fair to me. The fact to that as soon as I was overcoming a particular problem, so was another one coming up, right out of the blue. It was starting to get quite tiring and I really wished there was wasn’t I could get it to stop.The hospital’s door got pulled open without knocking, and even without glancing over, I knew who it was.“You’re getting discharged today.” He announced in a deep voice that I was starting to despise really well right now, because that was the voice of the man behind my latest dilemma right now.I remained silent and flinched when I felt something being thrown on me.“Don’t just act like you can’t hear me right now, I really don’t have the time for this right now but still made time for this.” He snapped and I glanced at what had been thrown at me, which I now realized were clothes, right before I glanced up at his unsmiling face. Of course he was in a su
Blair’s pov Despite how much I had tried to convince him that I could make my own way home and didn’t need him to take me home, he kept on insisting and here I was in his car that probably caused millions of dollars. I squirmed in the psssenger’s seat and felt really embarrassing because he was definitely going to see the place where I stayed.He had still not started his car yet, and when I glanced at him, I realized that he was writing something on a couple of papers. On noticing my stare, he began to speak. “I’m just sighing my part of the papers, I’ll be done in a few moments.”I remained silent because I was wondering how that was any of my business, but then he was handling the papers to me after a few moments and I was blinking at him in confusion.“Go through it and put in your signature.” He explained and i spluttered. “Why the hell do I have to go through it? What’s it to me?”“You might as well go through it instead of asking me all these.” Was his response and i hu
Luca’s POV After putting a call through to Jane’s and informing him of the blown up condo, I asked him to do some research, like I was also going to start doing here, and then it wasn’t long before I was ending the call.I was worried, I couldn’t deny it.Just imagining what would have happened to Sofia and I if we had gone back to the condo last night was leaving the cold feeling that had lingered as soon as I had read that text some time ago. I rolled out of the bed and ruminated through the closet here, there was only a few items here, all our stuff back at that condo had been definitely ruined. My laptops and the documents I came all the way from Italy with, was burnt as well. It was a good thing that one copy of those documents I had with me was still available back in Italy, and the files on my laptops could easily be regained back. What I was worried about now, was the person that was behind this.I racked my brain but no one in particular was coming forth, and Witt a
Luca’s POV I knotted my tie while throwing a quick glance at the wall clock was, we were already running late and the venue was at least a thirty minutes ride away.“Bunny? Are you almost ready?” I called out as I picked up my guns and shoved them into their respectful positions on my body, as Sofia called out a response. “Yeah… but, I can’t reach my zip, can you please come give me a hand?”I made my way towards the dressing room and was speechless as I closed the distance between us to stop behind her. Feelimg floored concerning how perfect she looked, I pinched the zipper and carefully pulled it up.The dress was silver in color, and the straps holding the gown up was tiny silver linings. It was long, although the slit at the left side of the dress was so high, it was directly under her bubble butt.She turned around to glance up at me and I puffed out a deep breath as I cupped her cheeks in my hands.“I guess you’re going to call me stunning right now?” She asked and I
Luca’s POV I was on my feet in an instant, gun already out just as more people emerged from the crowd with guns already cocked, making it more obvious that it had all been planned from the very start. I began to fire my gun while tugging Sofia against me because there was nothing that she could hide against right now.I tried my best to ignore Sofia’s trembles as I fired away, as I was shooting, so were the groom’s and bride’s family doing as well. When the groom ended up getting shot and his white suit turned red in an instant, was probably when it dawned on everyone that this was freaking serious, because they were all screaming and sucking in an instant. After a few more moments, I realized that the people who were shooting weren’t here to hard anyone, but to take out the groom’s family.And so I asked Sofia’s to duck like everyone was doing, and then I went to the middle of the aisle to stop one of the men from getting to the front of the church by kicking his gun out of hi
