Alessandro stood over him, still breathing heavily, his chest rising and falling as he fought to regain his composure. His anger was a fire, burning through every fiber of his being, but After a few minutes, he finally tossed the gun to the ground. Lucas rushed forward to retrieve it, signaling his men to clear the scene. Without a word, Alessandro climbed into the car, slamming the door with a force that echoed through the night. His fury hadn't subsided; it still simmered beneath the surface, every muscle in his body taut with tension. "Honey!" Aria whispered, her voice trembling. She was equally terrified by the man before her, the raw violence she had just witnessed. "Are you okay?" Her eyes searched his with concern. Alessandro cursed under his breath to see his wife terrified of him. But his anger was still boiling. He turned to face his wife and, without a word, he pulled her into his lap, securing her in his arms and kissing her fiercely. Aria let him hold her tightly, feeling the force of his kiss, arms around him, pulling him in, kissing him back with the same urgency, offering him the warmth of her love. Slowly, as the minutes passed, she felt him begin to calm. His kiss softened, the harshness melting away, but his lips never left hers. In that kiss, Aria could feel everything he was pouring into that kiss- His love, his possessiveness, his care, and his promise to stay by her side. It was a silent vow that everything would Be okay, that nothing would ever tear them apart. When he finally pulled away, his eyes were softer, his face no longer tense with fury. He gently caressed his wife's beautiful face, pushing a stray lock of hair away, his thumb grazing her soft skin. His eyes never left his wife's when he addressed John, still in the driver's seat.t "Take us to the hospital," he ordered, his focus completely on her and their unborn child. Nothing mattered more than making sure they were both safe. John nodded, and the car roared to life, speeding down the road. Within minutes, they pulled up to the hospital parking lot. Alessandro was the first to get out of the car. As he rounded the vehicle, he opened the door for Aria. However, instead of letting her step out, he scooped her up effortlessly and carried her toward the hospital entrance. "Hubby, I'm fine. I can walk," Aria murmured, a small protest in her voice. Alessandro gave her a firm look. "You weigh nothing. Don't worry, just let me carry you," he replied, his tone leaving no room for argument. Aria sighed, knowing there was no point in challenging her husband's stubborn protectiveness. People watched them as they walked through the hospital-partly because Alessandro was carrying her, but also because their disheveled appearance made it obvious they had come from a chaotic scene, as if they had just escaped some kind of accident. As soon as the doctor learned Alessandro Valentino had arrived with his wife, he rushed out, followed by a team of nurses and hospital staff. "Doctor, my wife's pregnant, and someone tried to kidnap her," Alessandro said, his tone sharp and unyielding. "Run every test you have to. I want to be sure she and the baby are both okay." His words left no room for questions, his presence commanding as ever. The doctor nodded, unfazed by Alessandro's tone. "Of course, Mr. Valentino. I'll make sure she's thoroughly checked and confirm she's healthy and safe," he reassured. A nurse gestured to a gurney, but Alessandro shook his head, refusing to let Aria go. Insisting on the nurse's examination room, ignoring the surprised looks from the staff. "Please, Mr. Valentino, you'll need to wait outside so we can do a thorough checkup," the doctor insisted firmly. Alessandro clenched his jaw, reluctantly letting go of Aria and watching as she was led into the examination room with the medical staff. As Alessandro waited outside the examination room, he saw Emily and Matteo rushing toward him. They had heard the news from John after Matteo called him when Alessandro hadn't picked up. Emily couldn't stay away; she had to be there to check on her best friend. She was desperate to know that Aria was truly fine, even though Matteo had reassured her after speaking with John. "Where is she? How is she?" Emily blurted out, her voice tinged with panic. "She's fine, Emily. The doctors are just running some tests," Alessandro answered, his tone softening as he tried to reassure her. "And how are you?" he asked, concern flickering across his face. "I'm alright, thank you," Emily replied with a small smile. Matteo, however, stepped forward, a serious look on his face. "Alessandro, I need to talk to you about something important," Matteo said, his voice low. Alessandro's brows knitted together. "What is it?" he asked, his tone sharpening as he prepared for whatever news Matteo had to deliver. Matteo relayed the whole story to Alessandro, explaining Vanessa and Vittoria's involvement as Emily had told him. Alessandro listened in silence, feeling no trace of emotion for Vanessa's betrayal. "What do you want to do with her?" Matteo asked cautiously. "What do you mean?" Alessandro's gaze hardened. "I mean, should I hand Vanessa over to the police?" Matteo clarified, watching Alessandro's expression carefully. "No. I want her to suffer the punishment she deserves," Alessandro replied coldly. "Make her disappear from the earth in a way that she'll fear to come back in any lifetime." That single sentence was all Matteo needed to understand. With a nod, he stepped aside to make the call, knowing exactly what the Italian don expected. Just then, the doctor emerged from The examination room, his face unreadable. Alessandro and Emily rushed toward him, and Alessandro wasted no time, his voice tense, "How is she...and the baby?" He held his breath, his heart pounding as he waited for the doctor's answer. "Don't worry, everything is fine," she whispered in his ear, feeling his tense shoulders relax as he exhaled deeply. "Our baby is strong, a fighter like his father. He'll be alright," she assured him, a mother's intuition telling her their child was safe. She poured all her strength and Determination into this belief, certain it would work like magic. Alessandro lifted his head, his eyes soft and full of pride for the woman he loved. In that moment, he knew: she was his anchor, his source of strength. "God, Aría, what would I have done without you in my life?" Alessandro's voice was thick with mixed emotions as all the love he felt for her was clear in his words. It was a genuine confession, one that surfaced every time life made him. Réalize just how close he'd come to losing her. "I know, hubby," Aria teased with a playful smile, her voice laced with mischief. "That's why I'm never going to leave you." Alessandro chuckled softly. His heart was now filled with hope and positivity, emotions that this incredible woman had brought into his life and had become his light in the darkest of times. He gently pressed his lips to hers, feeling her smile against him. "Okay, listen, I need a promise from you," Aria said as Alessandro pulled away from the kiss. He nodded attentively, his gaze fixed on her. "Make sure Matteo and Emily don't stop preparations for their wedding," she demanded. "They've come this far after going through so much, and now they deserve to get married as soon as possible-before anyone else tries to come between them." "You're right," Alessandro agreed, understanding the weight of the situation. "I promise, the wedding will happen on the fixed date." He vowed, his tone firm and resolute.
