#Chapter51

/"Her ribs are badly bruised it's a miracle they aren't broken. I gave her medication for the pain but it's better if she rests for a while./" The doctor spoke softly to Sebastian. She had just finished examining me.

/"Grazie (Thank you)./" Sebastian responded.

The doctor turned to look at me one more time, her eyes filled with sadness and pity. She shook her head slowly before leaving the room.

Leaving me alone with Sebastian.

I couldn't bring myself to look at him.

How had I not seen this coming?

How could I have been so clueless?

Sebastian was the head of the Alfonsi family.

The man I had fallen in love with was il Demonio.

/"I am sorry that you got hurt. That shouldn't have happened./" Sebastian's quiet voice broke the silence of the room.

My eyes snapped to his. And the regret I saw in his eyes made my heart lurch with hope.
