Chapter 4
When Bianca reached inside Alessandro's room, she did not find Darren. That was something unusual. He would never leave Alessandro alone. Either it was Bianca or Darren next him so not finding Darren in the room amused her.
Setting her shaving materials aside she took the razor and marched towards Alessandro to give him a shave. As she neared him with a razor she was welcomed with angry-looking eyes and that too of Alessandro himself.
"You..." Bianca whispered.
"Thought you could kill me easily?" Alessandro asked harshly arising confusion on Bianca's face.
"How could you think you could kill me easily? And razor? Seriously? Did not find any other weapon to bring? Who sent you here? Who?" Alessandro yelled her.
"Listen..."
"No you better listen just so that I threw you out and showed you your place does not mean you have to take revenge on me. Not even I am this cruel and ruthless." Alessandro gritted his teeth.
"You are mis-"
"Get lost. Get lost before I lose my mind and chock you right here just get lost I don't want to see your face." Alessandro screamed.
"I-"
"OUT" This was the last thing Alessandro shouted and Bianca ran out of the room wiping her tears but bumped with Darren.
Darren had his hands clenched. He knew what might have happened. He had informed Alessandro his life was in danger and stay alert but not after Bianca.
"That son of a bitch." Darren gritted his teeth but Bianca shook her head.
"Don't stress him now, his brain needs to function properly," Bianca argued.
"But he.."
"He does not need to know about me and you don't have to clarify," Bianca assured Darren.
"I'll take the leave." Darren nodded.
From the time Alessandro woke up he came to know he was bedridden for four months and his empire was no longer his. He was buried six feet down according to the media and he was nothing but helpless to core.
How could he sleep so long? How could he rest while his hard work and dreams were snatched by others? How could his own brain betray him? He was feeling angry, betrayed and defeated. Even his own friend Darren was giving cold shoulder to him and he had no idea what had gone wrong?
He just woke up three days ago. He was reincarnated and given a second life to conquer the world but what could he do when his one and only friend had shown his back to him.
"Darren I apologize for whatever mistake I have done just talk to me, dude. You know you are the only one I have at this moment." Alessandro tried to convince Darren for the nth time.
"Don't apologize to me, I am not the rightful person of your sorry ass," Darren replied bitterly.
"What do you mean Darren?" Alessandro asked in confusion.
"I said nothing. I am not your PA anymore and I can't befriend with someone cold as you so please grace my soul and let me go."
"You want to go? Go." Alessandro voiced making Darren speechless and eyes wide.
"I don't want anybody with me. After all I have nothing to offer you. Money? Power? Business? Nothing." Alessandro gritted his teeth.
"You still see low out of everybody Sandro, only lows. Four-month living with her changed nothing inside you. Oh! I am sorry, you were not alive but dead lying on the bed." Darren shouted to Alessandro when being accused of disloyalty when he was nothing but loyal to him and that was what he was being paid with.
Just in time Darren was about to leave Alessandro asked one last question, "Who saved me that day?"
"Your angel."
With that Darren left the room banging the door shut loudly.
"It's not the time to be angry Darren, you know he needs you." Bianca tried to convince Darren who was hot-headed from the time he entered the orphanage.
"He does not deserve any excuses." Darren pulled his hair in frustration.
"He does. He has gone through a lot of betrayals so it comes naturally." Bianca reasoned.
"Don't you think you take only his side?" Darren raised his brows questioningly.
"He has no one in his side." Again Bianca pleaded.
"He did it to himself. He threw you away without any second thought, he accused me of disloyalty. Who does that?" Darren rubbed his face.
"He is in such a phase that he has to be attentive. He has lost everything," Bianca explained.
"Just go to him. He needs you." Bianca dragged her out.
"What about you? Does not he needs you?" With that Bianca stopped halfway.
"What do you mean?" She asked in confusion.
"Don't act dumb Bianca I know you have feelings for Alessandro and you can't deny it. I have seen it in the past four months." Darren accused making Bianca speechless.
"You must have mistaken Darren, he is just someone I had to help." Bianca stuttered.
"Assume what lets you sleep at night, just don't fool yourself for too long. Now I have to go to Alessandro to give him some peace of mind." Darren bid his bye.
"Don't stress him a lot and please keep me away from your conversation, I know you have a big mouth and say hi to your wife and daughter," Bianca suggested to him with final wave.
"I knew you would come back, you are the only family I have got." Alessandro smiled as he saw Darren coming inside his room after leaving him alone five hours ago.
Even though Darren was angry after the bro hug he felt relieved to some extent. "You just have lucky star these days," Darren muttered.
"Did you say something?" Alessandro asked Darren but he shook his head.
"So what is the plan?"Darren asked playing safe and not dragging their issue more.
"I want my empire back." Alessandro gritted his teeth.
"And how will you get it back?"
"Romano industries is not the only place I have investments on Darren. At least you must be wise this much." Alessandro smirked.
"Collect our troop, we have battle to fight." Alessandro roared with determination to take what he had and more.
"And one more thing, who the hell admitted me in this shitty hospital?" Alessandro gritted his teeth making Darren facepalm.
"Long story short, your step-mother wanted you dead removing your life-support but with the help of hospital staff we took you out from there," Darren explained.
"We?" Alessandro asked.
"Yes." Darren shoved off.
"Your wife?" Alessandro asked again.
"You need not know." Darren huffed again in irritation with rapid-fire from Alessandro. He feared if he blurt Bianca's name.
"I will find out myself," Alessandro muttered in his breath.
Just like Alessandro said he had many investments in different companies inside the country as well as abroad. Even though Alessandro was suggested a complete bed rest he traveled around the world to gather his share and trusted people. He knew they were limited to count in fingers but that was enough for him than a group of greedy heads.
"The plane from New York is about to land Rome in ten minutes, please put on your seat belts and remain seated until the light goes off. Thank you." The voice came from the speaker.
Finally, Alessandro was back to Italy after weeks of travel. He had enough resources to fight the battle. He had returned to snatch what belongs to him. His power. His empire. But in this all he was missing something big, something major that Darren still had to answer or maybe someone?
As the plane landed on the ground of Italy, Alessandro was all set to attack Ileana Romano and show her permanent place. "To Romano office." Alessandro directed the driver.
As Alessandro set foot inside Romano corporate building everything went to silent, not even a single person tried to breathe. He was dead three months ago, how was he walking alive? Everyone had the same thought in their mind.
Alessandro did not waste any time and pushed the buttons of one and the fifteenth floor where he could find Ileana and her chickens. That would be the final blow for them, the traitors.
As the elevator blinked open Alessandro made his way to the CEO's room and opened it with force. With the grand entrance everyone inside the cabin had their head toward the door. But not later than a second they had dry throat and sweaty hands.
Alessandro was back!!!
