[ Aitana ]I struggled for a moment to open my eyes only to shut them again as the bright light coming from the window and LED lights on the white ceiling were too much for them to adapt themselves. I tried to move my heavy body but winced as I felt a sharp sting on my right hand.An iv was inserted in my skin."Ana, baby you're awake."Alessandro's soft voice instantly relaxed me.After a few moments, I slowly opened my eyes only to see his concern laced face."Aless..."I weakly called out his name as my throat was dry.I found myself still on the hospital bed.I should start calling it my second home now."What happened to me or the baby?"I asked as I really don't remember anything when I passed out."Your blood pressure was a bit high when you fainted but you're fine now.You literally scared the shit out of me."He stroked my cheeks with a faint smile on his face which didn't reach to his eyes."Mr. and Mrs. De Niro if you feel okay then we can start the scan otherwise we'll schedule it
[ ALESSANDRO DE NIRO ]My heart was pounding on the speed of a jet plane as I waited for Dr. Martin to break the news I had been dreading to hear and hoped everything came out to be fine with my baby."Dr. Martin please say something, your silence is like a slow poison for me."I shred off my cold demeanor in front of the woman in whose hands, my wife and baby's life were either safe or jeopardized.She put off her glasses and glanced at me, her disappointed face confirmed half of my fear yet a slight flame of hope was burning in my heart."We have to terminate the pregnancy."She spoke in her baritone.That's it!I lost it,warm tears filled my eyes. I didn't care who saw my vulnerable side.I wasn't a mafia man anymore but a father who might loose his child,his first child. "Is it the only option or?"My question came out like a low whisper."I am sorry, Mr. Alessandro but if we don't remove the fetus eventually it will miscarry and your wife's life may also be in danger.It's better if
[ Aitana ]Alessandro had been acting very weird around me since we came to the hospital for the scan.I could see a strange sadness on his mother and Adam's face as they came to ask me about my health.Something wasn't right.I had a strong intuition but I couldn't figure out what it was exactly. I just hope my baby was fine.A smile automatically stretched on my lips as I thought about our baby and how it resembled a tiny dot on the screen.Alessandro's expressions were priceless.I had never seen him this happy and lively.I was busy in my thoughts when the doors creaked open and Aless walked inside.His eyes were red and swollen.Was he crying?A fear creeped it's way inside my heart.My gut feelings weren't wrong.Although, he tried to pass me a smile but it didn't reach to his eyes."Alessandro, what's wrong with you?"I asked firmly. The people around me gave me weird vibes and it was frustrating me to no extent.He sat beside me on the stool and got hold of my hands,"Ana, baby I have t
[ Alessandro De Niro ]"Boss, it's suicidal.Robert's men are everywhere, one single mistake from our side and we'd be slaughtered."Drake warned me for the third time since we had been waiting for Robert ,who was coming to crack an illegal deal with Tony at a retro bar."Don't be a pussy cat, Drake and focus on our mission. I didn't inform Adam and Chase because I do not want them to involve in this suicidal mission but tonight I'll get hold of this snake."I said not faltering my eyes from the entrance of the crowded place packed with bulky drunk hooligans and their prostitutes."Robert will be here in any minute from now. I think we should stick to plan A and try to strike a deal with Tony on a bit higher price. The man is only loyal to money and I am sure,he'll be ready to backstab Robert."Drake advised me for the umpteenth time."No one loves anything more than his or her life, Drake. Robert is a very despicable man.He must have a back up plan for such situations."I replied tight
[ Alessandro De Niro ]"Mr. De Niro, I did my end of the bargain now it's your turn to give me what your man promised me."The creepy man with two gold teeth grinned down at me."You mean the family treasure, Tony ?"I asked him playing along with him."Bingo."He did the Micheal Jackson move giving me a hard time to control my laugh."Chase, where is the box I asked you to bring from my car?"I turned to Chase who had his gun pointed at a very unconscious Robert and his son."It is on the backseat of your car."Chase replied."Tony, your tresure is waiting in my car which is parked at the back entrance of this club. Go and check it yourself and yes, take it away from here as soon as possible because someone can kill you with it if they find what fortune you possess now."I said to him throwing my car keys to him which he grabbed, his eyes twinkled with greed."But how can trust you Mr. Alessandro?"He arched his pierced brow at me."In the same way I came here on your signal, you might ha
[ Aitana ]It felt so good like a stone being lifted from my heart when we finally shared our mutual grief over the tragic loss of our baby.We spent the evening together, he told me that he wanted to fire Rita from her job because she left me alone in the garden and right now were arguing over the matter."You're out of your mind, Aless.The woman is best at her job.I could have gone completely insane if she gave up on my threats to leave her alone but she comforted me in every way possible not because you ordered her but as a true friend.She's like an elder sister to me.Please don't try to snatch a person whom I trust around me."I requested him."That's why I can't trust her.In our world, the closest people to us backstab in the worst way.I offered her help for her chidlren's good upbringing but she refused.May be she is trying to show us an honest side of hers because sometimes they are also deceptive."He came up with another excuse."I won't ask you for anything and believe if I eve
[ Aitana ]"What took you so long to see your uncle and cousin, my dear niece?" Robert chuckled lifting his torn lips," I heard that your baby couldn't survive, my condolences."He added.I clenched my fists trying to ignore his provocation but one mention of my baby was enough to send me over the edges.It took every single ounce of my strength to stop myself from shooting him in the skull."Where is your Italian pussy? He sent his wife instead of coming face to face.I told Liam not to ask Stefano to marry that dickless man to a Grayson girl but he didn't listen to me."He gave me a sinister grin."You're not going to talk to us, Aitana?" Sebestian tried to provoke me this time and the last thread of my patience finally broke,I put the safety off and aimed the gun at his leg and next the room echoed with his screams."You fucking whore.You made a grave mistake by hurting my son.I will make your life a living hell."Robert sneered, he was definitely seeing red."Drake, do we have the aci
[ Aitana ]I was hell shocked on myself. I killed two men. Everything that had happened begun to give a stirr inside my head,I felt numb,my emotions were scattered everything.I killed a man who took many innocent lives and destroyed their families,I killed a man who snatched the little rat of hope from me, my baby."You're okay, amore?" Alessandro rubbed my back in a slow motion as we made our way back in the main part of the club.I killed my tormentors and watched them taking their last breathes,their flesh slowly leaving their bodies."Ana?" His voice again brought me back on the earth then I noticed the black and white inetrior of his office and faint music coming from the club's general area."Umm yeah...I am fi..fine.I just need a strong neat whiskey to get rid of that horrible sight."I shook my head to erase those continuous replay of the murder I committed.He softly grazed my forearms and forced me to sit on his chair,"Your drink is on the way, Ma'am."He whispered leaning over
