Chapter 23: In Which It Hurts
It was yet again one of those days where Alexnder was nowhere to be seen the whole day because of him being away on another one of those missions and Isla had an incredibly boring day.
She wanted to see him as soon as possible at night so she decided to just have dinner with at the pool house, have whatever he was gonna have, hence, she retired to her room earlier than usual without dinner and got ready to sneak out to see her boyfriend.
As usual, almost like second nature she stepped on the nearest branch of the tree out of the window and got a wise grip on the one above, then she placed her right foot on the branch below the one she was on, this one was a little less thicker than the one she was already standing on. However, when she put her other foot down along with all her weight on that branch it snapped.
Before Isla could even reach to grab the branch above her to keep herself from falling, she tumbled down along with the branch and ended up on the ground

I would die worrying about your baby. You've already given me several heart attacks today to at least last a lifetime I am not letting you out of my sight if I can help it" Alexander said talking a seat beside her on the bed.She blushed at his comment as he lovingly and really stroked her cheek with the pad of his thumb, still flushed from the crying."We both seem to get injured lately, one way or another her huh?" she made a slight joke to let lighten the mood but her getting hurt was

"Do I have to get on that thing" Isla said making a face towards the wheelchair that was perched in front of her."You can use crutches ma'am but it's recommended that you don't strain your foot at all, it will help fasten up the recovery plus it won't be very convenient to use the stairs with crutches" Alexander put her options in front of her as the maid set up the wheelchair and put the crutches by the wall.Isla knew that even though Alexander was being formal and had laid out her options in front of her and even though she wanted to rather take the crutches, she knew those hard eyes giving her that look, silently communicating to her that she better take the wheelchair or she would definitely hear an ear full from her boyfriend the next time they are alone.She gave him a dirty look before saying begrudgingly "Fine, the wheelchair it is then""Wise choice ma'am I'll help you onto it, if you wish so" he offered."That would be helpful, thank yo

Alexander took off his coat which had a bullet hole on the side from when he had barely escaped it inside as he left the compound that they had gained back. Finally, he could go back home.However, that thought went down the drain when he overheard some of the Gambino men talking."Miss Gambino's flight lands in half an hour, we should get going" Alexander stopped them in their tracks to inquire."What is this about Miss Gambino and her flight?" he questioned and one of them gulped before answering."Well, we received the info just this morning that we are to receive Miss. Gambino from the private port in half an hour just this morning, her flight lands here at 5"That came as a surprise to Alexander as he dismissed them. Isla didn't mention her arrival on the phone when they had talked just the day before, at night and neither had Mr. Gambino but hearing this news made him a little impatient to see her because now that he knew, t

The car came to a halt in front of the five star hotel that the whole Gambino security team was staying at.Alexander got out of the car tossing the keys to the valet before someone else had the chance to help her out. At least this time he didn't carry her out and saved her the embarrassment of being carried through the hotel lobby plus, it would have been pretty suspicious, he already crossed the line a little when he received her at the airport.So instead much to her annoyance she had to use the crutches which she had grown tired of but her ankle still needed the support.The whole security team had to walk slower because of her but not a peep of protest was heard from any of them."It's a big hotel, you'll have a long walk to the room, I can get you your wheel chair if you'd like" Alexander offered from beside herand she contemplated his offer. It was hard walking with the crutches and it would tale forever for her to get to the room on them plus it

"How come you never mentioned that you'd be coming to Italy yesterday on the phone when we talked? was this supposed to be a surprise of sorts?" Alexander asked.After their intimate bath they just sat on the king sized bed in each other's company, with Isla snuggled up to him as he affectionately ran his fingers through her soft silky hair."Well no not really, it wasn't meant to be a surprise or anything infact I didn't even know I'd be coming to Italy when we were talking on the phone it was like midnight when dad informed me that I had a flight early at like 5 Am in the morning to Italy and then after that I packed and got like an hour sleep before having to leave but I guess it turned out to be a nice surprise" she explained offering him a smile."It did, too bad you have a dinner date with that sleazy bastard" His jaw clenched at the thought of the dinner from hell that Isla will be attending.She too scrunched up her face at the impending doo

The bastard could be doing anything with his girl and he wouldn't know, he hated this feeling of being helpless.He looked at his wrist watch which now read 12am and there was no way he was going another minute without knowing what was up with Isla.He was about to barge in with every intention of beating up anyone who tried to stop him but before it could come to that, the door opened and one of the servers from inside came out."Is there a Mr Rossi out here?" She asked looking around and Alexander immediately stepped forward."I am" he said and she turned towards him."Oh, alright, Mr. Seigel is calling you inside" she informed and Alexander didn't need to be told twice as with in a second he
