Hundred and fifty-nine

Hundred and fifty-nine
Arnold's POV
" Do you have a moment?" I turned and it was my father.
" About Elizabeth, I have taken care of her." He assured and I looked at him with cold eyes. I hoped he had because I couldn't guarantee anything when she crosses me again.
I have been too nice to her and if she crosses a line, that would be the last thing she would ever do.
I promise I wouldn't hesitate to put her where she belonged.
" And your mother." He started but I didn't say anything and silently pulled a cigarette from my pocket. I felt this was going to be longer than I thought." I'm sorry I didn't tell you what actually happened." He said as I lit my cigarette." She didn't love me."
" In fact, she hated me for forcing her to marry me." He explained.
" Uncle Elio told me." I said and he let out a soft sigh." I'm sure he did." He whispered." I will go back inside. I'm glad we are getting along." He tapped me on the shoulder and was about to head inside the mansion when one of the servants ran over and fell to her knees." Boss Arnold, " she choked on her words and I narrowed my eyes.
The stick of a cigarette was plugged in between my fingers." It's. She fell from the stairs." She said and my eyes turned into a shade of black.
" Who?"
I demanded, my voice cutting through the cold 4 am air.
The cold darkness was dim yet morning.
" Angelina." She added and I looked at the mansion ahead of me. My fingers crushing the cigarette in my hand, I didn't know how I got out of the summer hunt and into the mansion but my chest tightened when I saw her lying on the cold floor just under the damn stairs and unconscious.
" Fuck, Angelina!" I cursed, my feet dragged me to her side and scurched down beside her, my eyes staring coldly at her with a sinister expression.
" What the fuck happened to you, Angelina?" I growled, sliding my hand underneath her and carrying her in my arms.
" You need to come over to the mansion. It's agent." My father said on the phone as I walked up the stairs to our room.
The doctor arrived within fifteen minutes and began checking her. I stood at the side with both hands caged in my pockets.
My father was there and of course Nikolai.
We just celebrated her birthday a few hours ago. She just accepted my proposal and wore my ring on her finger. She just agreed to be my wife again a few hours ago.
We were together and I left her side because I had a call from Lorenzo.
She was sleeping when I left to talk to Lorenzo and now she was unconscious with her head cracked open.
" It's not severe." The doctor said but she was still unconscious.
" Why is she unconscious?" I asked and he lowered his head. Not daring to look me in the eyes.
Seeing her lying there like that brought back memories from three years ago and I hated it.
I fucking hated the fear lingering in my chest. The heaviness.
The fear of losing her was something I didn't plan to experience again.
I fucking wished this was nothing but a fucking dream but unfortunately, it wasn't.
" Her body is in shock therefore she has gone into a coma." The doctor explained and my heart went cold.
Not again.
" Does that mean she didn't fall?" Nikolai asked and my father looked up at me.
" What are you insinuating, Nikolai?" My father asked and I spoke immediately." Bring the servant to me." I ordered and Nikolai nodded before leaving the room.
He returned after a few minutes with the servant." What did you say happened to my wife?" I asked coldly and she immediately went down on her knees." Please, Boss Arnold don't kill me. I didn't do anything g to her." She pleased and Nikolai took a step forward.
" If you didn't then who did?" He asked and tears streamed down her face, her body shivering obviously terrified." I didn't. I .." her lips shook, not only her lips but her entire body.
" I heard a scream. I heard her scream from my room, and when I rushed out I saw her lying on the floor in a pool of blood." She explained.
Nothing made sense.
" What the fuck, Princess!" The door cracked open, and Marco walked in with a frown.
His eyes landed on her pale face on the bed before shifting his eyes to me as if asking me what happened.
" Did someone try to kill her?" He asked the obvious.
Someone tried to fucking kill her and the question was who the hell had the guts to do that to my wife?
" We will find that out." I said in a cold tone." What are you going to do?" My father asked and I met his eyes." I will find whoever tried to kill my wife." I told him in a stern tone.
We both knew what would happen if I found out who it was.
She was mine and I made that clear last night. Everyone at the club knew who she fucking belonged to.
" I will take care of that." Marco agreed. My eyes shifted back to my father." Pull all the footage in the mansion."
Fucking yes, the mansion was decorated with security cameras. My grandfather made that plan to avoid any invasion or unwarranted attack from the outside. Enemies.
I left two of my men at the door and went to my grandfather's office, where all the footage was stored.
Marco pulled the footage.
We watched the footage from the dining hall and it seemed just like the servant said.
Her surprise scream came before she rolled down the stairs.
So someone obviously pushed her. She didn't scream in fear but in shock which meant she saw whoever pushed her.
" Do you prefer we wait for her to wake up?" Marco asked but I didn't have the patience to." No, " I said the words and Marco nodded.
" Check who else is in the mansion aside from us," I ordered.
" Elizabeth is, and I think she is sleeping in our room." My father said and I turned my gaze to Nikolai.
He knew what to do.
" Arnold."
My father called and I leaned my back into my seat."If she is the one, I will make her regret it." My deep, chilly voice cut through the room.
