Luca stepped into the grand mansion, the opulent décor reminding him of how far he had come. He was relieved to finally be in the safety of his room, but as he reached for the doorknob, his phone rang. The Caller ID displayed Rio's name."Hey man," Rio greeted him from the other end."Hey," Luca replied, his voice lacking its usual enthusiasm.Rio sensed something was wrong. "What is it, Luca? You don't sound good."Luca took a deep breath before revealing the terrible news. "Someone attacked Elena last night. She's been admitted to the hospital.""What?" Rio exclaimed. "Did you catch the attacker yet?"Luca shook his head, even though Rio couldn't see him. "No, I'll head to the police station later to file a complaint. Talk to you later, Rio. I need to be with Elena now." Luca hung up and let out a heavy sigh.The thought of losing Elena made him shudder. Last night had been a nightmare. He had planned to surprise her by visiting her studio and taking her out to dinner, but instead,

Elena's phone rang, and she picked it up with a heavy heart. It was Ryan on the other end, his voice laced with concern. "What happened, Elena?" he asked.Elena let out a deep sigh before answering. "I got into an accident recently. Someone tried to kill me, Ryan," she said, her voice shaking with fear.Ryan was incredulous. "Jeez! And you're just telling me?! What are we? Strangers? How could you…"Elena cut him off. "It's fine now. I'm recovering," she said, hoping to calm him down.But Ryan wasn't having it. "Do you think someone knows our plan and is trying to kill you?" he asked after a long pause.Elena didn't think so. "The police are yet to catch the attacker. Plus, Luca promised he's going to get to the bottom of it all. I trust him," she said, trying to reassure Ryan.Ryan was furious. "What? You trust him now? What the fuck, Elena!" he yelled.Elena sighed again, feeling the weight of Ryan's anger. "He's not a bad person. Maybe his family is, but not him, Ryan."Ryan didn't

Rio stood alone in his dimly lit room, dressed in a luxurious bathrobe, holding a crystal glass of champagne. He was dancing to Italian classical music, twirling and waltzing with grace and elegance. To an outsider, it may have appeared as though he was celebrating a great victory. And in a way, he was.Everything was finally falling into place for him. He had successfully destroyed the relationship between Elena and Luca, his biggest rivals. He sighed in satisfaction, reminiscing about how it all began. It all started with Carlos, the agent of his destruction.After the incident that almost killed Elena, Rio's minion had confessed that he had no hand in the assault. That night, he had taken a day off, even though Rio had instructed him to keep a watchful eye on Elena. Initially, Rio believed that his minion was lying, but as time went on, he discovered the shocking truth. Carlos, Elena's ex-fling and secret admirer, was the one who had attacked her.Rio had sought out Carlos, threate

Elena paced around the room, checking her phone for any missed calls or messages from Luca. It was close to midnight, and he still hadn't returned. She wondered if he was still angry with her after their argument earlier that day.Finally, she couldn't take it anymore. She picked up her phone and dialed Luca's number, half-expecting him not to answer. To her surprise, he picked up."Hey," she said.There was a long pause before he replied. "What do you want?""I was just wondering where you are," she said tentatively."At the study," he replied curtly."The study? You're still in the same house as me?" Elena said with disbelief."Yeah," he said.Without another word, Elena hung up and headed to the study. When she arrived, she found the room dimly lit, and Luca sitting in a chair, staring into space."Luca?" she called out softly, approaching him.He didn't move or even look at her."What's going on?" Elena asked, her voice rising with frustration. "Why are you avoiding me?"Luca stoo

Rio clenched his teeth, frustration pulsing through his veins. He ran his hands roughly through his hair, trying to contain the whirlwind of emotions swirling within him. Closing his eyes for a brief moment, he took a deep breath, steeling himself for the decision he was about to make."I can donate for him," Rio finally uttered, his voice laced with determination. The doctor's eyebrows shot up in surprise at the unexpected declaration."I'm blood type O," he added, his words hanging in the air with a sense of purpose.A flicker of realization crossed the doctor's face as he comprehended the gravity of Rio's offer. "Oh," the doctor responded, his voice tinged with both surprise and gratitude. "Alright, this way," he continued, motioning for Rio to follow him. With hesitant steps, Rio reluctantly trailed behind the doctor, his mind filled with a cascade of doubts and questions.What the fuck is he thinking? Rio couldn't help but question his own sanity as he followed the doctor to the
