Veils Of Darkness

Broken Hopes!

Author's Pov'

Not only was her beauty attracting him, but the main reason was he was feeling a pool of attraction towards her because of her innocence, which was crystal clear in her dark blue orbs.

"M-Mr Vincenzo, you can't hold my hand like this.I'm a doctor here and also there's a CCTV came--"
Before she could complete her sentence, he cut her off by saying.

"I don't care!"
He pulled her towards him, making her bump on his chest.A cold shiver ran through her spin when she saw his beautiful amber orbs from much closer now.He slowly leaned towards her lips, wanting to devour them, but she quickly shook her head to the other side and pushed him harshly.

"Excuse me Mr, this is a hospital and I'm a doctor here, not a slave or something, so behave yourself."
Elena ordered him, telling the Mafia how to behave. Not only the Mafia, but a soon-to-be Mafia King is something else.No one had the guts to say this until now.Which was attracting him more towards Elena.She turned towards the door, being flustered, and as she was about to leave he stopped her by saying.

"I know you're a doctor and I liked you as a doctor, but I'll like you more when you are beneath me, Elena."
Elena shivered, as it was the first time she had heard her name from him since he was admitted.Elena closed her eyes, being frustrated, while boiling in anger.She was frustrated, because this man made her feel things which had been buried a long time ago, and, angry with herself.She clenched her fist wanting to punch him so hard but unfortunately she can't since he was her patient with that she left from there not wanting deal with this man.

Next day! Elena went into her house which she had left a few years ago.She looked around to check if her father or brother was around.They were reasons for whom she had to leave her own house. Well, she never considered it as hers.Elena's mother remarried when her first husband died.Elena's mother, Dahlia.She never wanted to remarry, but as she was a single mother and it was getting hard for her to raise Elena all by herself. Neither she had any stable income nor could she get any job.One day, an old friend whom she knew from her college days.He confessed his love for her and proposed to her for marriage, as Dahlia was running out of money and raising a child all by herself was tough for her, so she accepted James's proposal and agreed to marry him as she thought he was kind and good hearted only if she knew.

Elena sighed with relief and went towards her bedroom.As she entered her mother's bedroom, she witnessed Dahlia lying on the bed with her weak body.Elena sat beside her and started to stroke her hair while Dahlia slowly opened her eyes as she knew who it was.She looked at her daughter with her loving eyes.

"My lovely daughter."
Dahlia placed her palm on Elena's cheeks while smiling weakly.

"Mom, why don't you listen to me?I clearly told you to take the medicine on time, didn't I?"
Elena scolded her mother.

"Oh my dear beautiful Ely, I'm already sick and weak enough.I'll die sooner or later.This medicine can't do much with it, we both know."
Dahlia said, which broke her daughter's heart.Dahlia had cancer.Elena tried everything she could to save her mother and was still doing it.She refused to accept because it was incurable.

"Please Mom, don't say it like that.I will cure you."
A tear made its way from her crystal blue eyes to her cheeks.Dahlia wiped her tears.

"My lovely Ely, tell me about you.Are you doing well?"
Elena held her mother's hand in hers and nodded her head while looking down.

"Oh come on, don't hide anything from me and tell me about your boyfriend."
Dahlia teased her daughter.

"Mom! I don't have a boyfriend and you knew that right."
Elena whined.
