331 Straight To The Point Lena leaned back on the bed and stretched her legs out underneath the blanket as she took a moment to consider what her uncle said. She’d hoped he would’ve agreed immediately without bantering with her regarding the best overall decision. She didn’t need to be told it made sense to know that. However, Lena didn’t want to be in charge of everything. So, she would play one more card to push things in the direction she wanted them to go. “That rejection isn’t one…

330 Rejecting The Request Lena sneezed not once but twice. The rough sound and intensity made her nose and head hurt. Allergies or could someone she didn’t know about have been talking about her? The princess shook her head with a huff. If it turned out to be the latter, whoever the person responsible for talking about her better have been willing to say anything to her face later on. “You’re going to end up making yourself sick if you don’t think about slowing down at some point in time. You…

329 Someone Upset Her More Than Me? “Shit!” The curse word slipped out of Samuel’s mouth before he could even realize it. That call hardly went how he’d hoped it would. Lena shut him down the moment he tried to talk to her. Only a few words out and she pushed him away without a second thought. He ran an agitated hand through his hair. Perhaps coming out here hadn’t been the best decision after all. How could he fix things with her if he couldn’t even get her to talk to him? Samuel flopped…

328 So Much Like Your Father Why should Lena care about such things? The people who worked in the hospital were in the wrong after all. They’d been part of the reason this whole issue occurred in the first place. “If they have any issue with what I do, they can come and talk with me about it. I already had a discussion with the director about how to handle things moving forward. He seemed to be a smart enough man to understand what I requested from him.” The princess at least hoped he turned…

327 Don’t Do it Too Late 𝒾𝒏n𝗿𝒆а𝑑. 𝘤𝘰m By the time Lena did decide to make her way back to the room, Julian no longer seemed to be there. Temporary departure based upon the fact that all of his items still seemed to have been left behind. The princess snorted at this. Could she hold grudges? Absolutely. She’d not forgiven Jovani for everything after all. Even less so after recent events. When it came to family? Maybe not so much as others. Her uncle didn’t actually get anyone…

326 Different Modes for Different People Kane’s reaction didn’t come as a surprise to Alonso. Even if they’d not been close in years, that didn’t mean he forgot the mercenary’s behavior pattern. Different modes for different the other would always say. Out of most of them, the current mode was the one Alonso disliked the most. The pity appeal. Pity for what exactly? The mercenary never gave anyone pity so why should he be granted any? The right-hand many only shook his head, turning away…

325 Overstayed His Welcome Alonso’s hand gripped the tea cup tightly enough to almost break it. A small crack sound broke the silence. “Alonso, I thought that we had gotten over the hard feelings just the other day when we met. Why did you suddenly scurry away as though you saw a ghost.” The right-hand man jerked away before the other could place a hand on his shoulder. Turning to face the mercenary who wore a taunting smirk despite his broken nose and rather swollen face. “I know Jovani…

324 That Isn’t How This Works “Can’t it be something that happens later then? We’ve already got the food here though I don’t know where Alonso went. I think for now it would be better if we just focused on eating.” Samuel gave a quick look around the room. Only three places were seat, the rest of the chairs being taken away likely meant they would be eating alone. “If you would prefer to focus on eating first. That is something that we can do. Whatever you think would be best.” Not…

323 Not On His Side Jovani didn’t wait for the car to even pull up before coming out and meeting the duo who’d come to visit. The Vedova Nera boss felt fairly confident in the fact that his cousin would choose to side with him on his current dilemma. “What exactly do you think that you’re doing coming out in your current state? You’re supposed to be resting?” Alonso’s window rolled down as he scolded the other. Jovani simply smiled with a shrug moving towards the back passenger side…

322 Law of The World Lena wanted to go back to her father’s room but chose to avoid it knowing that Julius hadn’t left yet. Her troublesome Uncle whom she’d rather not see chose to remain as stubborn as herself. Wanting to be by his brother’s side even if that meant his niece refused to occupy the same space with him so soon after everything that took place. She’d eventually have to be in the same space with him. Just not when she was uncertain whether that would involve pulling a gun on him…
