Chapter 22: The unplanned.
“Laura!” Fiorella exclaims, her eyes dilated seeing how the glass shatters and blood slowly drops out of her palm. Laura is still looking emotionlessly.
“You hurt yourself” Fiorella yells and rushes to Laura.
“Laura, are you alright?” Enzo asks, making Laura jerk out of her thoughts and finally feels the pain.
“Ouch” Laura yelps in pain.
“Where is the first aid box?” Enzo asks, he can see blood really dropping from her palm.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
“In the drawer” Laura replies, tears start welling up in her eyes.
Fiorella tries touching her hand but Laura snatches it away, Fiorella is a bit stunned by her reaction.
“It hurts” Laura mutters teary eyed.
“Sorry,” Fiorella mumbles .
Enzo comes with the first aid box and opens it, Fiorella moves away from there allowing Enzo to treat her. Laura smiles when she sees Enzo touching her hand.
“This is going to hurt” Enzo mutters and laird mods childishly.
“It won’t hurt if it’s you doing it” Laura smiles and sniffs.
Enzo starts removing each broken glass in her skin, Laura simply reacts with low moans. When Enzo finishes with that he adds some antibiotics.
“It stings” She groans slightly.
Fiorella kind of pouts watching Enzo take care of someone else, he’s her guardian angel not someone else’s but Laura Tosseli is her friend, so she can make exemptions.
“Sorry, Bestie” Fiorella smiles sadly.
Laura faces her and returns the smile. “Thanks”
Enzo bandages her hand and keeps the things away.
“Thank you, Enzo” Laura smiles and stares at her hand.
“You should change the bandages later, so the wound won’t get infected” Enzo advises with a smile.
“Don’t worry, I will make sure I treat her hand myself” Fiorella volunteers.
“No way, she would kill me with pain, you would be like the more it stings, the faster it would heal” Laura mimicks her and they burst into laughter.
“I’m sure she’s capable of that” Enzo laughs, he goes to keep the first aid box in his place.
“What do you think, I deal with two children everyday, one is sweet as a lollipop , the other who is cold as ice, what do you expect?” Fiorella laughs out loud.
“It’s not easy being a single mom, that’s why you are my heartbeat, you have a strong heart ” Enzo mutters lovingly, even a dumb person will see that he has feelings for Fiorella.
” I know right ” Fiorella snickers at him
Laura’s smile slowly vanishes but when Fiorella faces her, she plasters a smile on her lips again.
“Why did you come here?” Laura inquires.
“Erm… it wasn’t anything important, don’t mind me” Fiorella giggles nervously.
“We can all go for lunch later,” Enzo suggests.
“That would be an excellent idea,” Fiorella agrees.
“Actually, I don’t think it would be a good idea, I feel a bit tired and my hand is wounded too, I don’t think I will be able to eat” Laura disagrees with the intention of cancelling the lunch idea.
“I can feed you,” Fiorella said jokingly.
“Funny” Enzo laughs.
“I’m leaving” Enzo winks at Fiorella and leaves the room.
“Bye, Laura” Fiorella waves and leaves the office as well.
Laura frowns heavily. “I don’t want history to repeat itself Fiorella, first it was Dante, you are not going to take this one away from me,” Laura grumbles.
” We are friends Fiorella, I don’t want to hurt you!” Laura mutters and sighs.

“Why do you always dress this way to the office?” Enzo inquires, he hardly recognised her when he saw her in the office. She looks totally different, nothing close to beautiful.
“Actually, if I had to be employed, I really had to dress like this, if not Gwendolyn Ramos, the Boss’s fiance might see me as a threat to her ” Fiorella explains and Enzo nods in understanding.
“You are a smart girl” Enzo smiles and caresses her cheek with his thumb.
“I know” Fiorella blushes.
Enzo takes a look at the hickey again and decides to ask “What’s this mark, I mean hickey on your neck?”
“Hickey?”
Fiorella touches her neck and remembers when Tito sucked her neck like a vampire.
“I don’t know, I think Noelle gave it to me when she slept in my room” Fiorella fakes a grin.
“If you say so. Heartbeat” Enzo smiles.
“Heartbeat, I love that name” Fiorella giggles and continues walking with him.
She’s not ready to see Tito yet.
–
Tito comes out of the bathroom, the pain his d*ck has reduced.
“That b*tch” Tito moans and steps on something.
He looks at the floor and sees an identification card on the floor, he picks it up and checks for the owner’s identity.
“Fiorella…” Tito trails off and skips her middle name, the last name gets his attention.
He keeps staring at the last name.
“Evette!” He mutters and stares at the identification card again. “That name rings a bell” Tito mumbles and takes the card in his hand.
He brings out his phone and makes a phone call.
“Matteo” He calls, immediately the call is answered.
“Morning, Boss” Matteo responds, sounding happy.
“Save your pleasantries, I don’t need them” Tito pouts.
“Research about this name, Fiorella Evette, I need you to focus on that surname, Evette, check if that name ever belonged to anyone in the clan, it sounds pretty familiar” Tito orders..
“Yes boss, I will get the information as soon as possible” Matteo replies.
“Good, don’t delay” He said sternly and hung up.
He stares at the picture again and sighs.
“Everything about you is familiar but f**k!, I don’t seem to remember anything” Tito cusses and ruffles his hair.
His phone rings and he picks it up without checking the name of the caller.
“Matteo”
“Who’s Matteo” Gwendolyn asks .
“Argh…” Tito growls and grips his hair in frustration.
“Tito, how long will you stay angry with me? First I wasn’t feeling fine and now, it’s worse “Gwendolyn mutters with a pleading and sick tone.
“I don’t feel too well,” Gwendolyn mutters.
“And so?” Tito asks, there was no emotion in his voice.
“Come visit me, I have something to tell you” Gwendolyn requests.
Tito takes the phone away from his heart and hisses before hanging up. A message pops on the phone.
“Tito, come please, it’s urgent”
From Gwendolyn x
Tito sighs and rolls his eyes.
___
Reaching her Mansion, the maids open the door for him. The mansion is beautiful, sophisticated, and almost everything in the room is made of pure gold.
From the furniture , tiles to chandelier, even to the stairs and the rooms too. Tito climbs up the stairs and goes to Gwendolyn’s room.
“Babe, I missed you” Gwendolyn smiles, she rushes to hug him but he doesn’t hug her back. He pushes her away instead.
“When are you going to forgive me?” Gwendolyn asks sadly.
“Is this what you said was urgent?” Tito asks and finally looks at her face, she looks pale, she is still in a nightgown.
“I’m being patient, Woman, you are wasting my time, I have things to do in my company” Tito yells.
Gwendolyn suddenly has the urge to vomit, she runs into the restroom and starts throwing up.
“Gwendolyn” Tito calls confusedly, he walks to the restroom door and starts knocking.
“Are you alright?” He questions but she doesn’t respond. She opens the door and walks out.
“What’s wrong with you?” He inquires and holds her face.
“Tito, I have a life growing inside of me ” Gwendolyn replies and his hands drop from her face.
“What do you mean?” Tito asks dumbly.
“I’m pregnant!” Gwendolyn yells.
