Chapter 3

Henley

I opened my eyes to the beeping of machines here and there.

My blurry eyes looked around to take in my environment.

When my vision became clear I looked around and it was a white room, seemed like a hospital ward!

My eyes widened recalling what had happened.

Someone had shot at us that time in the car!

My poor heart was beginning to run a marathon.

I sat up on the bed, wires were connected to me, and the machines were close to the bed.

Where was this? and where the hell was Sandro?

The door opened and Sandro walked in.

He was dressed in a blue tuxedo suit that made him look more handsome. His blue eyes were bright and that smirk on his face that was saying; 'keep looking made me want to slap him so hard.'

Wasn't he injured just now? How come he was well dressed and all?

Looking down at myself, my eyes widened when I noticed I was wearing the hospital dress.

"What is happening here? why I'm I in this?" I asked.

"Calm down, will you?" He said and sat down on the stool close by.

"What is happening Sandro?"

"You've been sleeping for three days now sweetheart." He said and I frowned.

"What three days, today is Tuesday and I'm sure about that. Maybe that wound infected your head." I said and he nodded, before pulling out his phone and showing me the date and the time.

The time was 9 am and it was Thursday morning.

"How... How did it happen? What are you all saying?" I looked up, shocked and angered.

It was all his fault.

If had had not come looking at me! This wouldn't have happened.

None of it would have happened at all!

"It wasn't the hit Henley. Your heart is getting worse than before." He said and my eyes widened.

My heart?

I had almost forgotten about my poor heart which was suffering more than it should.

"Are you crazy? Or maybe you're stupid." He cussed and I clenched my fist.

"I can see you're now perfectly fine but If it weren't for you Sandro I would be perfectly fine where I was..you just had to come to find me and cause me more problems!" I hissed and he nodded.

"When I'm I leaving this place? I can't bear to look at your face again. And where the hell is my brother?" I spat out, trying to pull out one of the wires but he yanked my hand off.

"Don't do that!" He yelled and I flinched.

What was wrong with this guy?!

"I'm not sorry Henley. But you have to accept the truth. Your brother is dead but I didn't kill him, not that I would not have killed him if he were alive. I would have enjoyed killing him. And second, your brother was in debt and you have to pay up now." He said and I laughed.

Was Sandro stupid?

And wait...whose brother was dead?

"Lies. You see..you can go lie to every bitch you see out there but not to me. You can not lie to me, Sandro. I know Tim is alive and I'll never pay back anything. Now get the fuck away from me and let me go!" I yelled.

He stood up and walked to the door.

"And one more thing Henley.. you're not leaving this place again, I'm not sorry to disclose this to you but you'll be staying here for the time being darling." He smirked and walked out of the door.

My eyes widened and I quickly removed all the wires from my body and headed for the door.

I banged hard but it was locked from the outside.

"Open this fucking door, Sandro! Please let me out, I have to go!!" I yelled out loud.

It was already evening as I watched the city from my hospital window.

I looked down at the Polar Vantage V2 on my wrist.

It was a heart-monitoring watch and it looked very expensive.

Alessandro was a jerk! I cussed again and rubbed my forehead.

I was so hungry that my belly had begun to churn but no one was near to hear my cry.

The door suddenly opened and I turned to see Sandro walking into the room.

"What are you doing here?" I asked and he shrugged.

"I thought you'd be hungry but if you're not. I can have it taken back." He said and made to move.

"You don't have to go when you're already here," I said, and he scoffed pushing the trolley into the room.

"I want to go home, Sandro. I promise not to say a thing to anybody." I said and he rolled his eyes.

"Do you think you can say something to anyone? After all, your brother's life is at stake as well." He said.

"I knew my brother was alive..you crook!" I said and he frowned.

"Limit the number of insults you render to me."

"Or what?" I cocked a brow and he smirked.

"Bad things happen sometimes..and you know it." He said and I rolled my eyes.

I walked to the bed and sat on it.

The weather was cold, making my nipples hard to the point they were shooting out of my hospital gown.

"Where's my bra?" I asked.

"Of all the questions." He smiled and looked down at the food.

"Who took off my clothes?"

"Me of course..who else?" He replied.

One thing I knew about Alessandro De'toire was that he was a man whore, a dangerous flirt, and everything unholy.

If god were to come to earth two minutes from now. Sandro would never make it to heaven.

As god had said; only the saint would make it there. Sandro was not even among the last ten.

"You have to know the reason you're still here." He said, snapping me out of my many thoughts.

"Hmm?" I raised a brow and he licked his pink lips.

"You can never leave again Henley, after the accident, to protect you from the others I had to do something." He said and I frowned.

This wasn't going well at all!

"I signed an Omerta with your name. You are never going back!"

"What?!"
