ADELINE
A gasp escaped my lips as I tried to move my bruised elbow. It was such a sharp pain that made me freeze in my spot for seconds.
“ are you okay? “
Aurora asked as she carefully sat next to me, concerned. I looked at her and took my time to answer.
“ yeah “
“ everyone was so worried. You should be more careful “
I looked away and the thoughts of Luciano flashed in my mind. I had been awake for four hours now and he was nowhere to be seen. He did not even come to check on me which somewhere broke my heart.
“ Luciano “
His name sent shivers down my spine and I looked at her as she fidgeted her fingers nervously.
“ he had been out since you lost consciousness “
It hit me. Right where it hurt the most.
My heart.
My hand slowly clutched against my chest as I took a deep breath.
“ okay leave everything, you should eat now. You haven’t eaten since you have woken up “
“ I’m not hungry “
I lost my appetite. He just …… can’t avoid me like this. He did not even come to check on me.
“ you need to eat- “
“ I-I want to be alone…… “
I slowly turned my back on her. I wanted to be alone. I needed to clear my mind from the horrible thoughts of having a life without Luciano. He did not know what he meant to me.
He was my …… everything after my father and I would not let him leave me just like how dad left me alone.

I slowly opened my eyes feeling someone enter my bedroom. I could not see who it was because of my back facing the door but I knew it would be one of the family member, making me eat some food that I refused to do.
“ I told you I’m not hungry “
I hissed at the sudden pain clashing my head and slowly turned my head. I took my time to bear the pain before looking up at the person and …… saw, Luciano Morelli.
He was holding a tray of food making me look at him in the eyes.
“ why are you not eating ? “
His voice came out stern and my …… eyes suddenly started getting watery. How could he come at this time and ask me why I was not eating? Why did not he come earlier? Why!?
I looked away and clenched my fists around the duvets holding it tightly agaisnt my chest.
“ I don’t want to- “
“ that’s not the reason I want to hear “
I looked up at him and a tear slipped down my cheek making him look at me with concern. He quickly put the tray on the table and sat on the bed next to me.
“ Adeline. Everyone told me how much they tried to get you to eat something “
I closed my eyes as warm water trickled down my cheeks making me sniff.
“ I-I hate you “
I mumbled as I continued to wipe my tears and he sighed before holding my arm making me jump. His touch sent electric waves down my whole body.
“ does it hurt? “
I lifted my gaze and pulled my arm back only for him to pull me back to him roughly and a hiss escaped my lips.
“ do not “
My chest heaved up and down as My breath hitched feeling him so close to me and I could feel myself getting …… overwhelmed with all those emotions. I suddenly wrapped my arm around his neck and hugged him.
“ I-I was scared- “
I felt him wrapping his arms around my waist pulling me close. His touch was an instant relief and I let loose feeling him close. He sighed and caressed my back making me relax.
“ you don’t need to be scared. Everything’s fine “
I was not scared about that. I was scared because i thought you wouldn’t come. I wanted to say those words out loud but could never.
“ Adeline. Now eat something “
He pulled back before making me adjust with my back against the pillows before handing me the glass of juice. I took it and slowly had a sip making me feel chills. Suddenly, his phone started ringing taking all the attention.
He curtly picked up the phone and spoke.
“ yes Elena “
The name of a female …… coming from his mouth stopped my actions. My heart skipped a beat as I raised my gaze to look at him.
“ postpone the plan. Ill take you out tomorrow “
Take out? A girl? My heart clenched as I watched her in disbelief. Was he dating- no he can’t be.
“ yes consider it a date “
He spoke in his calm voice making me look at him …… hurt. Date? Luciano Morelli,the mafia lord whom people avoided and who avoided women himself was …… no it can’t be-
A tear unknowingly slipped out of my eye as I looked at my trembling hands. Did he love someone? Was this the end of my love story? The story that did not even start yet.
