“Oh, fuck!” Alexander cursed, holding his head in his hands. “The doctor told her everything?” he repeated Matteo’s words, his voice tinged with panic.
Matteo nodded, his expression filled with concern. “Yes, and she’s not even talking to me now. But before she shut down, she let me have it–and probably gave me an earful on your behalf too,” Matteo murmured in a hushed tone, making sure Mia couldn’t overhear.
“I’m doomed,” Alexander sighed, his face growing pale as the weight of the situation sank in.
“Go and talk to her.” Matteo urged the Duke.
The Duke hesitated, uncertainty clouding his expression. “She’s your sister. She won’t hurt you, I promise.” Matteo taunted with a chuckle.
“Be quiet, the Duke scowled, taking a deep breath before heading toward his sister. He found her seated on a bench outside the ICU room.
“Mia, look! I..” Alexander began, but Mia raised a hand, her eyes blazing with hurt and anger as she fixed her gaze on her older brother.
Don’t say a word!” she warned, each syllable sharp and deliberate.
“Please, petite sceur!” Alexander pleaded carnestly. “Give me a chance to explain.”
“What is there to explain?” Mia snapped, her voice trembling with disbelief as her eyes glistened with the sting of betrayal. “You hid the most crucial information about my husband’s health. How could you do this
to me?”
Alexander’s heart ached at the sight of his sister in such pain. He stepped closer and knelt before her to meet her gaze directly.
“I admit I kept it from you, Mia, and I did it intentionally because I wanted to shield you from the stress and pain,” Alexander explained, despite knowing his sister was reluctant to hear him out.
Mia shook her head, unwilling to be convinced by Alexander’s explanation.
“I’m hurt, Alexander. Of all people, I expected you to be honest with me. And what was there to hide? I eventually found out, didn’t I?” she mumbled, her lips trembling as she lifted her tear–filled eyes to her brother.
Alexander’s heart ached at the sight of the pain and hurt in his sister’s eyes. That was why he had kept the truth from her; he couldn’t bear to tell her that her husband was dying.
“I’m sorry, petite sccur, Alexander said with a stern yet earnest expression. “I truly care for you, and I will always do everything I can to protect you.” His sincerity made Mia’s heart soften just a little.
She sighed deeply. “I’m only worried about Alessandro’s safety,” she said, troubled by the fact that they still hadn’t identified who sent the assassins after her husband.
“Don’t worry,” Alexander reassured her as he stood and then sat beside her. “I’ve increased the security measures significantly. No one will be allowed into his room without undergoing a thorough security check, whether they’re a doctor or a nurse.

#Finished
Alexander knew that the mafia king had many enemies, but he had underestimated the severity of the threat to his life while Alessandro was comatose, assuming he would be of no harm to anyone in his current state. Alexander was also conducting his own investigation, hoping to uncover a lead soon. The person with such deep–seated animosity toward the Italian don could also pose a threat to the Duke’s sister and her children.
“Mia, I’ll stay here. You go home. You’re not well and need to rest,” Alexander insisted.
Mia turned to face Alexander, her expression softening as she replied, “I can’t leave Alessandro alone. I’ll stay here with him until he wakes up, her voice resolute.
“Mia, don’t be stubborn. Listen to me…” Alexander tried to persuade her, but Mia shook her head.
“No, I won’t go home. Please, Alexander, don’t press me on this she said firmly.
