" let me go and unleash yourself "
⚜️
| Diana La Rossi |
My eyes flutter open and rays of sunlight glow along my pale skin, making it look somewhat alive. I groan and rub my eyes, but hands capture my wrists and hold me down.
"Easy, don't move," a soft voice speaks next to me, Sofia.
"Where am I?" I murmur, and she closes the blinds for me.
"In your room. You got shot and blacked out. How are you feeling?"
"I'm okay, I think. Get these wires off me," I grumble and she laughs as she takes the IV off my arm and pushes them away. I grab her hand and she helps me slide up, and I throw the covers off, looking at the bandage on my leg.
"What did I miss?"
"Not much. But I think me and Lorenzo are something...," she sighs, her eyes distant, probably thinking about some memory together.
"I'm happy for you," I smile, and she giggles, kissing my cheek.
"You should be less stubborn because it's gonna get you killed."
I laugh, a cracked and broken sound. "A lot of things get me killed. How's Alessandro?"
"He's peachy," a voice speaks from the doorway and I look up, smiling at Carlson. "You however, are not. I don't regret throwing you in the pool you know."
I chuckle and he wraps his arm around my shoulder, his hands careful around my waist. He help me stand up and I thank him, using Carlson as support to get away from that room.
"What did was stupid, wasn't it?" I murmur.
"Definitely. You nearly got yourself killed. But not to worry, we got something out of it. Alessandro will explain the rest."
I nod and he helps me walk towards Alessandro's office. I latch my hand around the knob and twist it, opening the door. He looks up and my breath falters.
He looks like shit.
His hair is matted to his forehead and his eyes hold dark circles underneath, due to lack of sleep. His hands tighten around the paper in his hand and he scans me as I walk towards him. I thank Carlson and sit on the chair, huffing.
"Diana," Alessandro murmurs, tilting his head. His eyes are dark, battling with whatever it's going on inside his head. But yet they hold so many emotions and sympathy, I find myself completely mesmerised just as before, like I am put under a spell.
"Alessandro."
His name comes out as a barely whisper and he sighs, running a hand through his hair.
"I'm sorry," he mumbles, and I shake my head.
"Without you I would be in his chambers, tortured. Thank you, Alessandro. What I did was reckless and stupid, and I will take the blame for it. We should have thought about it better, but it doesn't matter now. What matters is that hopefully we got something out of it."
