Enzo ran for his life with some of his men after seeing how hot the firing was. Vincenzo, Martina, and Roberto managed to get out of the compound alive with the help of Bruno, who also had a bullet in his lower arm. Bruno drove the car out of the vicinity recklessly and hit the road to the hospital. Vincenzo sat at the back as he helped to stop Roberto’s bleeding. Martina was fidgeting as she watched Vincenzo rap Roberto’s right upper arm with a cloth. Vincenzo had torn this piece of cloth from his shirt. “Why didn’t you run when I asked you to?!”Roberto asked with gritted teeth. The excruciating pain he felt didn’t give him the chance to yell. He was covered in sweat. “I don’t know! I was stuck… I didn’t know why I couldn’t move! I’m sorry!”“You are sorry but I have been shot!” He groaned. “I never said you should get in the way of the bullet, okay? Don’t blame me!” “Enough, both of you! I am trying to concentrate here!” Vincenzo yelled in anger, and they both went mute

Roberto was discharged from the hospital after ordering the nurses to let him go. He wasn’t a weak man so he chose not to be in bed like someone with cancer. “It is just a bullet,” he told himself. He walked out of the hospital with Vincenzo and headed for his car. The sleeve of his shirt was torn and stained with his blood. He got to the door and Bruno opened up for him. Bruno also had his hand bandaged. The nurses treated him the same time they treated Roberto. “Can you drive?” “Yes, boss. I feel much better now. Thank you.” Bruno bowed, and Roberto nodded. He entered the car and met Martina sleeping. Her head was almost touching right her shoulder. She sat in the middle of the seat, and Roberto sighed. He looked at Vincenzo and spoke up, “Sit in the front.” Bruno closed the door and hurried to the driver’s seat. Vincenzo moved to the front and entered the car. Roberto sat suitably and was very close to Martina. They were only a few inches apart. He could hear her breathing, a

Martina smiled with her lips against his, after noticing he didn’t open up to it. She withdrew from the kiss and stared right into his eyes. “I stole your first, didn’t I? I am worth one of those bullets now, right? Roberto was yet to recover from the shock. He stared at her blankly. Many things got him speechless. Her boldness, the way she kept his passionately with her eyes closed, the way she looked into his eyes, it was like she pierced his heart. Roberto’s grip on her neck grew very weak, and she lowered herself to the pick gun. His hand fell off her neck, and she looked at him while she was still squatting. Her eyes trailed up his legs and stopped on his Pelvic region. “Get up!” Roberto woke to his sense, and Martina sprang up to her feet. The look on his face wasn’t the blank, cute one anymore. He was fuming in anger. Martina swallowed hard after seeing his face. She thought she had control over him already, but she was wrong. “Did you just kiss me?” His voice cam

“I should take a bite? This is your breakfast, Roberto. I have mine in the kitchen.” Martina responded. She knew Roberto didn’t trust her to the extent of eating the meal she had made. “I’ll not eat this food until you have tasted it. I’m not stupid, Martina. You want to kill me but, it’s not possible.” Martina broke into laughter and folded her arms under her breasts, raising her robe so that her fair and fresh thighs were visible. “Don’t tell me the great Roberto Galante is scared of food poisoning.” “Why would food poisoning scare me? I’ve been surviving my whole life, and that is because I am a wise man. Now, take a bite!” Martina shrugged her shoulders and sat on the dining chair in front of her. She stretched her hand and picked one of the chicken laps. She dipped it into the kitchen bowl and moved it to her mouth. She locked her eyes with Roberto’s and tore some meat from the bone sexily. She started munching on it and kept her gaze on Roberto. Roberto’s eyes got

Martina got to Vincenzo’s room and saw the doctor had arrived and was attending to him already. “Vincenzo.” She called, and he turned his head to look at her. A smile divulged on his face, and he waved to her to move closer. “You are done.” Martina nodded as she moved closer to him. She sat on the bed and looked at the doctor. She creased her brows as she noticed he looked familiar. “What’s wrong?” Vincenzo noticed the look on her face, and the doctor also looked at Martina. He also furrowed his brows after seeing her. “Miss… I know you.” “Yes. You look familiar, but I can’t remember where I have seen you.” “Are you serious? It isn’t even up to a week. We met at the hospital, Miss. You borrowed my phone to make a phone call.” “Yes! It is you! Thank you so much for that day. It meant so much to me. I never knew you were a doctor.” She bowed with a large smile on her face.“I’m happy I could be of help. You looked like you needed it badly.” Vincenzo looked at both of
