HIS

Chapter 19

Domenico's POV

Couldn't bring myself to sleep knowing the love of my life is fighting for her life at this moment. I've had the whole night to think, and it's true what they say about one's mind. It is your own worst enemy. I looked at her almost lifeless body lying in the bed next to me the whole night while holding her hand. The doctors came to check on her a few times during the night and couldn't give any updates other than that she's still the same. I believe she will pull through even though the doctors couldn't assure me of her fully recovery, I'm positive.

I left Olivia in that bed with a heavy heart, but I'll see her later. I did notify Marco and my parents, and they were beyond pissed when they heard what that bitch did. Marco and dad are on their way back and mom came to look after her.

I swear my mom loved her from the moment she laid eyes on her, not because she's beautiful but a mother with a genuine heart knows when a woman is good for you. She never liked my ex and she sure as hell told me of her feelings toward Isabella the moment they met after finding her in my bed. I feel blessed knowing I have a family that loves my wife to be.

I'm on my way home to take a shower, get dressed and pack a bag with a few sets of clothes as I'm staying with her until she's well again. I texted my secretary Maggy, to let Scott know that I'm in the area to get an update on the project. I need to make sure I'm going to get my money back or that's just the front, but he doesn't need to know that.

That little bitch will get what's coming to her and I will teach them all to never fuck with Olivia again. They will have to pay for everything they did to her.

I leave my house after getting dressed in a classic black suit with a white shirt and black dress shoes. I got in my matt black Ferrari 458 and headed out. On the way Olivia's phone buzzed in my left pocket of my pants. I checked it and saw the name Tessa pop up again. I decided to answer as they had been calling all night and I'm beginning to lose my patience.

"Hello" I answer.

"Hi, this is Tessa, can I please speak to Olivia, please?"

"Olivia is in a hospital bed in a coma tied to tubes and machines busy fighting for her life after someone heavily drugged her and tried to take advantage of her while being unconscious, but luckily, I got there in time before the last part could happen. Her heart stopped more times than I can remember but luckily, she pulled through, so Is there anything else I can help you with?" I questioned. I wanted her to know from my tone that I wasn't happy with any of them at this moment.

She was crying and screaming on the other side "NO! Please tell me she'll be fine. Please, No! This can't be true. She tried to call me, but I didn't hear my phone because of the noise. I thought she was still sitting there, I didn't notice her getting up, I promise". I waited for her to gather herself but she continued. "Can I see her, please?"

I probably can't blame them for Sophia's doing but at this moment I'm pissed at them, and I need to gather myself before I let them see her "I'll let you know when she's cleared to receive visitors."

"Thank you so much, and we're so sorry. We know we should've kept our eye on her" she said.

I dropped the call without saying goodbye because they should know just how pissed I am. I drove from the airport to come and save her while they were there having the time of their life.

I reached the mansion and are met with a guard "Mr. Scott is waiting for you, Sir" the guy said. I drove to the front door of the house, and it's opened by a middle-aged woman with blonde hair and stiff face.

"Hi, I'm here to see Victor Scott" I said, with a blank expression on my face.

"Hi, I'm Julia, Victor's wife and you must be Mr. Mancini?"

I nod and I am shown to a living room "Victor will be with you shortly, she mentioned".

It's still very early and just after the woman left a girl, also with blonde hair who I presume to be Sophia showed up.

"Hi, I'm Sophia, mom asked if you'd like something to drink?" she asked, while looking at me seductively and pushing her chest out. Do women still do shit like this to attract men? Not everything is about pussy, bitch.

"Hi Sophia, no thank you, I'm good" I rudely said, while typing on my phone and ignoring her further. I could see from the side of my peripheral view that she's standing there admiring me.

"Morning Mr. Mancini" Victor said, as he came in stretching his hand out for me to shake and I do just that

"Morning Mr. Scott, thank you for having me".

"My wife prepared a lovely breakfast, do care to join us?" he asked, and I just nodded in response. I don't think I want to ingest anything coming out of their hands or this house. I don't feel like being poisoned today.

I followed him into a dining room, and he showed me to my seat. He took in the seat at the head of the table. His wife and daughter came in dressed like the two sluts they were.

"Mr. Mancini, you met my wife already I presume; this is my daughter Sophia" He stretched his hand in the direction of his daughter entering with his wife.

"Yes, I met them both earlier" I say and nod in the direction of Sophia taking in the seat opposite from me and the wife the one directly next to him.

The maids entered and placed the trays with food in the middle of the table. "Please help yourself" Victor requested.

I added a piece of toast and put butter on with no intention of eating it. I'm just trying to keep up appearances.

"Mr. Mancini" Victor said, but I stopped him "please call me Domenico". To which he responds, "then please call me Victor" he says, and I nod accepting his request as well.

"So, Domenico, I don't know if you've met my lovely daughter before today, but she's a second-year student at NYU studying toward her bachelor's degree of arts. She's an aspiring actress, he said, with so much pride in his voice.

I obviously have to keep up appearances, so I go along with the act "good, I hope you do well" I say "Do you have more children, Victor?

For a second there a saw a sour expression on his wife's face, but I pretended not to see anything "she's my one and only daughter" he lied, without even a guilty expression on his face while his daughter flutters her eyelashes at me"

I nod and pretended to drink from the water that was given to me.

"Is there anyone special in your life Domenico?" Julia asked.

"Yes, I do have someone special in my life, but she's occupied currently but should be back in a week or two.

She nods and whispers to Sophia "enough time then" thinking I'm deaf and would not be able to hear what she's saying. This woman is a vixen that's teaching her daughter the same.

When we we're done with breakfast and talking about nonsense here and there, I decided to get to the point "do you have an update on how the project is going, Victor?"

"Everything is going very well and should be completed in three weeks. I would like to formally extend an invitation to you and your partner to the opening that will be held in exactly one month from now."

I nod "Thank you, we will be there" I say and will they get a surprise of their life. Now my baby must just wake up and recover in time.

"I will send you a full report later today so you can have a look at the current project plan with timelines" he added.

"Thank you, for having me. I still have another engagement to attend to, so I'll take my leave" I say as I got up from my seat.

"Please come and visit us again" the bitch Sophia says, but I just give her a fake smirk.

I'm glad I came to scope them out. I exited the house with them following behind me and waving as I leave their property, all smiles with their daughter that is fighting for her life, but their end will come in due time. Patience is key...
