He was angry.

How dare she!

He loves her!

She was his wife!

If only Nacho, and Adriano never came around.

So now, here he was. In the hospital. He didn't like the thought of killing a newborn baby. But he wanted Laura back. He can't raise Nacho's baby. He was heading to the delivery wing. He held flowers to look normal. He went to the front desk and asked for her room.

The nurse looked up at him.

"I'm so sorry. But the woman you are looking for died early this morning during childbirth. I'm very sorry." The nurse said. Massimo nearly crashed to the ground. His Laura.... She was gone. "That can't be... Where's her body?" He demanded to know.

"The morgue sir. But only her husband is able to enter to say goodbye." The nurse said. But the moment when she said where the body was, he was already walking away. He needed to see it with his own eyes.

He got to the morgue. A doctor tried to stop him but wasn't able to as he just shoved the doctor out of the way. He went into the room and looked around. "Laura." He told the other doctor inside. The doctor quickly pointed, and Massimo went over.

He went over and jerked the sheet off and fell to his knees. She really was gone. There laid HIS Laura. He took her hand, and it was cold to the touch. She was gone! He laid his head on her cold pale hand and cried.

He lost HIS woman.

He soon had to get up. He kissed her lips one last time, and then covered her back up. He then left. He didn't know where he was walking to. But when he looked up, he was in front of the hospitals chapel.

"Massimo?" A familiar voice called. He turned to see someone from his past. "Mr. St. Claire?" He watched the man come over. Liam St. Claire was his father's best friend. The two hugged. They haven't seen each other since Massimo's father's funeral.

The two looked at each other. "What are you doing here?" Liam asked, keeping a hand on Massimo's shoulder. "My ex-wife died during childbirth." He told the man. Liam frowned. "I heard about the divorce. I am so sorry son." He told Massimo.

"What are you doing here?" Massimo asked. "Mila was on vacation here... She was attacked and was admitted. She was in surgery all day yesterday. She's resting now. My wife has been here in the chapel since we arrived." Liam said.

Mila.... Mila was Liams youngest child.

He held her as a baby when he was just a child. She followed him and his brother like a puppy. But only stayed like a shadow. She was a mousey looking child. When the family moved away, he never saw her much anymore. She didn't go with her father to Massimo's father's funeral.

"Do you mind if I go see her?" He asked. Liam smiled softly. "Be my guest. She's in room 286." He told him. Massimo nodded and walked away.

Walking into the room he looked around seeing that the St. Claires brought things to make Mila more at home when she was more alert. He looked at the bed and stopped. Looking at the now grown woman asleep in the bed.

He went over and moved her hair out of her face. Mila certainly has grown into a beautiful woman. His fingers touched her face. A possessive spark grew inside him. He felt a spark when he touched her.

She was going to be his. He won't give her or her family a choice. His father joked with Liam about Mila marrying into the family anyway. So, this will work. This was to be his new woman. His newest and last.

The future Mrs. Torricelli.
