Mia's heart raced as she hurried through the sterile hospital corridors, her steps echoing loudly against the linoleum floor. She got a call from Lucas that was abrupt and alarming: Adam had been found, severely. wounded, and was now hospitalized. She could barely get time to process the information as she immediately rushed to the hospital. As she approached Adam's room, Mia's eyes caught a fleeting glimpse of a familiar figure. Her heart skipped a beat. The broad shoulders and dark hair were unmistakable- it looked just like Alessandro. But before she could confirm her suspicions, the figure disappeared down the hall, moving with a speed that left her questioning her own senses. Shaking her head, Mia dismissed it as a trick of her anxious mind. Alessandro couldn't be here. She pushed the door open and stepped into Adam's room, her breath hitching in her throat. The sight that met her eyes stopped her in her tracks. Adam lay on the hospital bed, pale and battered, his face a mosaic of bruises and cuts. Tubes and wires snaked around his body, connecting him to the beeping monitors that filled the room with a steady, rhythmic sound. Panic surged through her as she rushed to his side. "Oh, my God, Adam!" she whispered, her voice breaking. "Mia!" Adam managed to flash a weak smile through his pain. "What happened to you?" Mia murmured, her eyes glistening at the sight of him in this miserable state. "Ah, don't worry, it's not much. I've had many incidents like this during my action scenes in movies," Adam said with humor, trying to lighten the mood. But Mia's concern only deepened. "Was it Alessandro who did this?" she asked, her stomach knotting and her heart aching at the thought. Adam took a moment to process her question before replying, "No, he didn't hurt me." His response gave Mia some relief, but she couldn't let go of the serious matter. "Was Alessandro behind your kidnapping?" she asked, her heart pounding and fear evident in her voice. Adam understood everything. He realized he had a chance to turn Mia against Alessandro and remove his rival in love. She would easily believe him if he said Alessandro had done this to him. But he couldn't it. Deep down, Adam knew that although Alessandro appeared ruthless, his heart beat only for Mia. If Alessandro had wanted to, he could have left him to die, but instead, he saved him and brought him to the hospital. This act changed Adam's heart and grew his respect for the other man, "No, Mia, Alessandro wasn't behind my kidnapping." Adam declared calmly. "He wasn't Mia gasped, unable to decide whether to feel relieved or shocked. Adam chuckled slowly at the irony of the situation. He never thought he would ever say this about Alessandro. But what Alessandro did, he could have never done this much of sacrifice for his lady love. As far as he understood, Alessandro Valentino appeared to be a very cold and possessive man. Yet, he was ready to make sacrifices for Mia, which set him apart from others. Mia deserved the best, and now Adam. Tealized that Alessandro was the only one truly perfect for her. He continued, "Now I understand why he came to save me. It's because of you, right?" Mia averted her eyes, swallowing the lump of regret in her throat. She regretted lashing out at Alessandro. without knowing the truth, having concluded he was guilty of Adam's disappearance. "He not only saved me, Mia, but he also took me to the hospital," Adam said, restraining himself from revealing the full truth. Alessandro had insisted that he shouldn't disclose everything to Mia, so Adam kept the crucial details to himself. "He is the one for you, Mia," Adam told her, putting aside his feelings. He loved her and wanted her to be happy. The truth was that both Alessandro and Mia loved each other, but neither realized that the other felt the same way. They were meant to be together, and Adam knew he had to let Mia go for her own happiness. "You can't find a better man for you than Alessandro Valentino, Mia. Don't ever let him go," he insisted. Mia blushed at Adam's words, her heart fluttering with a mix of emotions. But then a thought gleamed in her mind. "If Alessandro didn't do it, then who kidnapped you?" she asked, looking at Adam with a curious frown. "Did you see his face or know his name?" she asked, her eyes searching his for answers. Adam nodded with a serious expression. "Who... who was that person?" Mia asked, her eyes widening with nervousness. Who would have a grudge against the superstar Adam Whitmore when the whole world seemed to have a crush on him? "It's Louis Moreau, the real estate mogul," Adam revealed. "What?! But why would Louis want to harm you?" Mia gasped, unable to digest the information. Adam smiled wryly, his lips curving in a mocking expression. "Because he wanted to harm you when you refused to work with him and chose to work with his rival instead. Now, his rival, Julien Lefevre, is more successful because of you," he explained, leaving Mia dumbfounded. She had never known about this; Adam had never let her in on the details. "But I intervened and stopped him from causing any financial or physical harm to you. Not only that, I used my contacts to have him lose several contracts as payback for his evil deeds." He paused before continuing. "He was looking for an opportunity. After our argument his gaze met Mia's as he added, " I was feeling very low and want myself. He took advantage of that moment and abducted me. He even wanted to kill me after torturing me slowly. But thanks to Alessandro, I'm here safe and sound," Adam said, taking a deep breath as he finished.
