CHAPTER 27

ANALISE’S POV

I look around the table while having my lunch. Being eight and a half months pregnant is not easy but the happiest thing.
I am as big as a balloon and Luciano is on cloud nine these days. Everyone is impatiently waiting for the baby to come. We have shopped a lot for our baby.
I can’t wait to meet my son or daughter. I wonder how will it be when I will for the first time hold my baby in my arms. With each passing day, I am getting more worried.

Everything seems normal but I have a feeling in my heart like something is going to happen.
Well, I am wearing Luciano’s shirt which is too big for me and reaches till my mid-thigh. As I am alone so it doesn’t matter what I wear.
I again look around to see Laura glaring at me while cleaning the floor. I tried talking to her some days back but she was rude. She hates me.
She keeps glaring at me so I leave my lunch and get up to go into my room. She makes me uncomfortable.
I don’t want to be alone. I should just call Luciano so he can come and give me company as Chiara is also busy.

When Luciano gifted me the phone, I was that much scared that I didn’t even touch it for days contemplating whether should I return it to him or not.
I call Luciano and it rang only once when Luciano picked up.
“Missing me, Love?” His calm voice greets me.
“No, I am not. I was wondering when will you reach home?” I will not boost his ego by telling him I was missing him.
“I am on my way. Bye.” He cuts the call. I don’t know what is it but I am having a really bad feeling. What is happening with me?

I turn around and gasp seeing Laura by the door. What is she doing there?
“What do you want?” I ask her.
“What I want! You bitch! You trapped Luciano. He loved me before but you whore took him away?” she states angrily shocking me?
“What do you mean?”
“Today I will kill you and kill this bastard. I know it is not Luciano’s child. You are just a whore.”

With this, she jumped on me and punched me in the face. She slapped me again making me fall on the floor and my head spins.
She grabbed my neck trying to choke me.
“I have had enough. I don’t know what you have done to him that he threatened to kill me yesterday but today I will kill you.” She said tightening her grip on my neck.
I was losing consciousness when I heard a gunshot and Laura screamed. With my already half-unconscious state, I saw Luciano and blood coming out of Laura’s leg.
My eyes catch the sight of my blood-covered shirt and I scream because of immense pain shooting inside my body.
The last thing I saw was Luciano running towards me worried.

LUCIANO’S POV

My breath stops for a second looking at Ana. She is lying in my arms with blood covering her thighs.
I try to wake her up. “Love, open your eyes. Please.”
I get up and wrap my coat around her before picking her up in my arms. I run towards my car.
“ALESSO! OPEN THE DOOR. TO THE HOSPITAL.” I get inside the car with Analise in my arms. She is bleeding heavily. My clothes are covered in Ana’s blood.
We reached the hospital and she was immediately taken for the operation. Almost one hour has passed.

I am so much worried about her. I will take that whore's eyes out. I feel someone’s hand on my shoulder and see it is Niccolo.
“She will be fine. Don’t worry.” He reassures me.
“I want that whore alive. Call Alesso to not kill her. I will torture her to death myself.” I order angrily. Niccolo nods.
I should have killed her a long time ago. She was a good fuck when Analise was not in my life but after that, I never cheated on her.

Recently she got here otherwise she worked in my ancestral home. I will burn her alive. I thought there is nothing wrong with her working here.
Hours have passed since I got no news of Ana. I am getting insane. I am seconds away from killing everyone in this damn fucking hospital.
The door opens and the doctor appears. I immediately stand up.
“Se vuoi essere vivo, allora non dirmi niente di male.” I say to the doctor who was already trembling. (If you want to be alive then don't tell me anything bad)
“Complimenti Signore tua moglie ha dato vita a una figlia.” The doctor says making me shocked. My heart blooms with happiness. My anger disappears after hearing
it. (Congratulations Sir your wife gave birth to a daughter)

“How is my wife?” I ask.
“Her condition was very critical but you brought her on time. She is fine now with a little weakness.” The doctor says making me relieved.

ANALISE’S POV

I try to open my eyes but they feel heavy. I again try to open my eyes and blink rapidly because of the lights.
My vision clears and I look around me at white walls. I am in the hospital. I remember everything and tears start to appear. Panic settles in me.
I try to get up but I can’t because of immense pain in my lower body. I move my hands over my flat stomach and scream with tears rolling down my cheeks.
Where is my baby? Oh, God! Please don’t do this to me. Don’t take my baby. Tears continue to flow from my eyes because of immense pain in my body and heart.
The machine connected to me starts beeping rapidly. The door opens and Luciano enters worried and tired but I don’t care at this time.

“Where is my baby? Where is my baby L-Luciano? Please tell me nothing happened to it.” I ask him crying hysterically.
“Calm down baby. Calm down. Our daughter is fine.” Relief washes over me upon him. But my brain catches something.
“Daughter?” I ask not believing what I heard.
“Yes, love. God has blessed us with a baby girl. You just relax.” He says wiping my tears.

We hear the door open and I see a nurse holding my baby in her hands. Luciano helps me in sitting up by placing the pillow behind me.
The nurse hands me my daughter and gives me medication for pain. I look at my baby in awe. Just looking at her makes tears of happiness flow.
She is beautiful and precious. Her features are similar to her father’s. I stroke her cheek and she opened her beautiful eyes which are similar to mine.
I kiss her everywhere on her face. I can’t stop looking at her. I can’t believe I am a mother now. Luciano takes her from my arms and kisses her on the forehead.
“Thank you, Tesoro. Thank you so much. I love you.” He speaks.

“I love you too Luciano.” I say to Luciano looking at him holding our baby. He looks at me in shock.
“Are you lying?” He asks not believing me.
“No Luciano. I love you.”
He captures my lips in a passionate kiss. Our lips moving in sync. Suddenly we hear soft cries and he chuckles.
“I think it is time to feed her.” I say and Luciano hands me our daughter.

I move my gown up and start feeding her. Luciano is looking at us with so much love and affection.
“Have you thought of a name? We decided if we have a daughter, you will name her, and I will name our son.” I ask Luciano.
“Irene. We will call her Irene.” He says and I look at my Irene who is now looking at me with her big eyes.
The door opens and Niccolo, Aria along with mom dad, and Nio appear with lots of balloons.
“Finally, I have a niece.” Their talks and laughers continued till midnight.

I thank God every night for making me realize that it is not Infatuation but Luciano’s pure love. It was written in my destiny to marry Luciano and meet my parents again.
If Luciano never kidnapped me then I would have never met my brother.
I have found my happiness and family.
