Chapter 24

Massimo

My feet were propped up on a chair as I sat beside my grandfather’s hospital bed. He was still unconscious, making his prognosis grim. The doctors told us that the longer he stays in this state, the less likely he will regain consciousness. He stopped breathing before my grandmother found him. One of the servants began CPR when she screamed for help, but they had no idea how long he’d been down.

My father was back at the family estate dealing with the organization. I knew at some point he’d take over here in Italy for my grandfather, but not like this.

Slipping my phone out, I texted Madison. Being away from her made me realize I needed her. She’d seeped into my soul the moment I made love to her. Now that I’ve had her, I wasn’t about to let her go. She felt it too, but something was holding her back. I told her all about my family and childhood, but I knew nothing about hers. Something told me it was the reason she fought what was happening between us so hard.

Madison: Massimo, a personal driver, really? We need to talk about this. I don’t want people thinking we’re together because I want your money.

Me: I don’t care what they think.

Madison: I do!

Me: No one will treat you differently or they will deal with me.

Madison: Don’t go getting all murderous on me.

Me: For your safety and my sanity, use Freddy. We will discuss it more when I return this week.

Madison: Fine...

I smirked, holding the phone in my hand. She wasn’t a pushover and verbally sparred with me when she didn’t like something. It was refreshing to have a woman that didn’t just cower down to me. Eventually I’d take her upstairs to Fantasia and show her how being submissive sometimes can benefit her. I missed her. Glancing around at the empty hospital room, I wished I’d brought her with me. My family would love her, even if she wasn’t Italian. Hell, she had the personality of an Italian woman regardless of her blood. I fired off another text.

Me: I miss you

Madison: Really?

Me: Yes. I should have brought you with me.

Madison: Next time. Got to go to class. Be safe. Miss you, too.

I started to type and erased the words. I wanted to tell her exactly how I felt, but would it freak her out? Typing my response again, I stared at it. How would she react to this? I deleted it again. No... those were words I should say in person. Instead, I set my phone down and stood. The city outside my grandfather’s window was slowing down for the night. It was a bit after seven here on the boot shaped island. The city was old and catered to the art and music crowd. It was known for the food and architecture, making it a hot destination spot for the wealthy. The weather was nice pretty much year-round, unlike the climate in Vegas.

The raspy voice of my grandmother startled me.
