Nero is looking at Chloe's picture, which he always carries with him in his purse. Matteo is standing in front of his boss's desk with a frown.
He looked at his boss, who looks so cold and unapproachable. Since he separated himself from miss Chloe, he became colder and meaner. Matteo knows the real reason behind his boss's behavior. But he himself is at the receiving end of his anger for far more times than he could count in these past four years.
But it is what it is. His boss is now immersed himself in boxing matches with people more stronger and skilled than he is. To Matteo's surprise, Nero never lost a single fight. His anger and frustration are fueling him and no one could defeat him.
"So you are telling me that after four years Juan is regrouping and might go after Chloe again?" Nero repeated Matteo's earlier words in a deep tone.
Matteo tried his best not to flinch or show his fear in front of his boss. He is loyal to Nero and it means that he cou
Chloe dressed herself in a navy blue sheer body con dress, which reached her knees. It's sleeveless and has a high neckline. She combed her hair and tied it into a ponytail. She applied some mascara and pink lip gloss. She picked nude color pumps and she is ready to go. She looked at herself in the mirror and noticed that she lost a lot of weight in recent years. She sighed and turned away from the mirror. A small smile lit up her face when she imagined Mia's face if she looks at her right now. She would definitely laugh at the way she is dressed. 'Why are you dressed up like an old lady? You are just 26, dress like one' she would say. She lost the interest to dress up nicely a long time ago. She doesn't have anyone whom she is trying to impress anyway. She locked up her double bedroom apartment, which she purchased soon after she got a job. This came with a nice deal and she couldn't pass it up easily. It's on the second floor and the s
David looked at Chloe closely. Her eyes are moving in the direction where their chairman is going. There are so many emotions playing in her eyes, he is surprised. So he was correct all along. She loved someone else and that's why she is not opening her heart to others. It's clear he too loves her deeply. But why are they not together? he thought. Chloe turned away from Nero and willed herself not to cry. But it is easier said than done. Her eyes are burning and she ran away to find a bathroom to hide. David became worried and tried to follow behind her, but their founder and chairman is already running after her. Matteo watched his boss run after miss Chloe sadly. 'They both love each other madly, but my boss's fears are making their lives miserable' he thought. David's eyes found Matteo, Who is looking in the direction where both Chloe and their chairman left. He mustered up his courage and approached Matteo slowly to ask what is going
A hard punch landed on Nero's opponent, which made him stumble and fall to the ground with a loud thud. But the sound of his fall is drowned by the excited cheering of the crowd around them. Nero waited and wished that his opponent should get up and fight with him again. But to his disappointment, he didn't. Instead, the referee came and declared him as the winner of yet another round. He lost count after his fourth opponent. He has been fighting his way through the best fighters they had and he won every single time tonight. He has to say, all of his opponents tried hard to win over him, but they failed. Who wouldn't want to win over their boss? Matteo is worried for his boss. He begged his boss that they should go back home, but he is refusing to budge. He has blood everywhere on his body. Some of it belongs to his opponents and some of it his own. If this continues for a little longer, then he is not sure if his boss would be alive to see the dawn.
Chloe woke up feeling like shit. She cried until she passed out from exertion last night. She is not feeling much better now either. She kept remembering Nero's face again and again. For a minute she saw his helplessness and anguish when he was standing close to her in that bathroom. But when she was about to feel hopeful that he would tell her what happened and why he had to marry someone else, he left. She cannot understand why he is doing all this. She needed an explanation for his behavior. She deserves that much from him. But he is not talking to her at all. That's the most depressing thing. She needs closure from him. Just like clockwork, she showered and got dressed for work. She drives herself to the hospital and walks towards her room like a zombie. Her mind is still filled with the images of Nero and the time they spent together. David was walking towards his office when he noticed Chloe. "Good Morning Chloe" he greeted her, but all sh
As soon as Matteo disconnected David's call, he rushed inside the Vitiello mansion to tell about this to Luca Vitiello. Luca was sitting in the living area, reading a newspaper."What happened? Why are you running like a crazy man?" Luca asked Matteo without turning to face him.Matteo stopped a couple of feet away from Luca."Sir, I just got a call from Dr. David. He is ready to help us" Matteo revealed.Luca nodded his head."Just like I expected" he murmured."Alright, call him and tell him to send Chloe here. Send a car to pick her up. Ask him to tell her that she is visiting a patient. Nero's arm needs some attention with all the fighting he did last night anyway" Luca advised.Matteo nodded his head and walked out of the house to do just that.After Matteo left, Luca shook his head with amusement."I never thought I would be setting my son up with a woman. Damn, retirement just seems to look a little exciting
Chloe quietly followed behind Matteo to see what happened to Nero. She doesn't want to face him again, but the thought of him being hurt is enough to forget about her reservations and go see what happened to him.She saw Nero's dad sitting in the living area, and reading a newspaper. Her feet stopped moving and she looked at him with confusion.'If Nero's father is here, then something must be serious. I think I will meet Nero's wife as well' She thought and walked behind Matteo on shaky legs. She is not so confident anymore. The thought of looking at him with a woman who is now sleeping where she used to sleep. The woman who is being pampered like he used to pamper her. When she remembered everything, her eyes began to sting. But she bit her lip and tried to think about anything else.Too soon, Matteo stopped in front of Nero's room and nodded his head for her to enter.Chloe took a deep breath before walking inside the room, expecting Nero and his wife.
Chloe rushed down the stairs after she poured her heart out in front of Nero. She would have ran out of the mansion if Luca didn't stop her."Chloe," he said and she immediately stopped moving forward and hastily wiped her tears away.She turns to face Nero's father with a forced smile."Hello sir" she greeted him softly, her voice hoarse from crying.She cleared her throat so that it wouldn't sound so rough. But it's clear that she is been crying."How are you, child?" he asked softly."I am doing good sir, thank you" she replied politely.Luca is not the kind of man who likes to beat around the bush. So he came directly to the point."I know my son is hurting you badly. I can even say that I can understand where his fears are coming from. And somewhere in all these years, I feel like I am responsible for his fears. I know what we do for a living. So I am hiding anything from you. You are going to be my daughter-in-law soon an
Chloe sat in her cabin the next day after she came from the Vitiello mansion. After listening to both Nero and his father, she can now understand why Nero did what he did. But she cannot forgive him for making decisions on behalf of her as well.To be with him or not is her decision. But he just pushed her away deciding what is best for her in his point of view. She can understand what he has gone through as a child is something no one should have seen and done at such a tender age. But he should not have done what he did.She remembered how heartbroken she was and how hard it was for her to wake up every morning thinking that he will no longer be in her life. But he completely disregarded his feelings. Chloe decided to move on with her life and try to forget about Nero.With that thought in mind, she sent a mail to her boss David that he needs to send another Physiotherapist to change the gauge and prescribe some exercises to Nero. After that, she i
