" What is going on, why is she jerking". Luciano asked anxiously.
" Sir we are going to have to ask you to step out for a moment." The head doctor said to him.
" What do you mean, what is going on with my wife" he snapped, watching his voice so as to not shout.
" Sir, please step outside so we can do our job" the head doctor urgued, and it was as if Amelia could hear them because her shaking became more violent and the machines were beeping like crazy.
Luciano sensing the severity of the situation left, but not without taking one more glance at her.
Luciano watched from the small circular transparent glass, the doctor worked frantically worked on Amelia until she was stable.
***************
" Please, have your seat sir" the doctor said.
Luciano was called by the doctor to be briefed on Amelia's current condition. He sat quietly waiting for the doctor's diagnosis.
Looking at him now, one would not believe that he was the one throwing threats across the room earlier that day.
"Mr Rodriguez, your wife seems to have gone into shock induced coma." The doctor said. Luciano was expecting such, he was thankful that it wasn't more than this. He'd hate himself for that.
Even though she was just a pun in his game of revenge, she didn't deserve what happened today.
"When will she wake up?" he asked calmly.
The doctor didn't expect the calm reply but all that matters now is that, he was calm.
" That is uncertain for now, the thing about been in a coma is that it depends on the patient and the medical attention given to them." The doctor started.
"In this case, the medical attention is top notch, so ,regaining consciousness depends solely on your wife's will to live " the doctor informed and felt his heart skip a beat.
His heart? He didn't know that he still had that but ever since Amelia came into his life he felt alive, he felt warm inside, but admitting it would mean accepting it and he was not ready to do that yet - at least not until his revenge was completed.
He left the doctor's office after the doctor briefed him on Amelia's condition.
He didn't even tell her parents about the incident and he didn't even want to.
He arrived at her ward, and a surge of anger rushed through him as he watched Amelia's pitiful state from the viewing window.
He watched her for another minute and left.
********************
Two weeks later.
Luciano cleaned Amelia's body like he does since the incident. He has always been with She was still unconscious but She was getting better, so he flew her back home.
Her mom often comes to see her but Luciano spends the most time with her. His assistant was shocked at his behavior.
One time there was an important meeting, but Luciano couldn't be more bothered about it.
He didn't attend the meeting, he sent the assistant. Since then the assistant took care of all the work while Luciano played perfect hubby.
A soft sigh left Amelia's lips and Luciano felt as though life was breathed into his lungs .
Her eyes fluttered open, she blinked a few times to adjust to the light before finally opening them.
A smile tugged at his lips but it turned into a full fledged frown when he saw the expression in her eyes.
"Ahhh" Amelia tried to scream out but couldn't as her voice was a little strained but that didn't stop her from scurrying away from Luciano. Not minding the needles embedded in her hands. She was hysteric, frantically removing the needles from her hand.
Luciano felt paralyzed at the fear in her eyes.
What did those bastards do to his fierce tigress to make her this scared.
He felt a liquid drop on his hand, reaching out to his face he found tears running down his face, that too without permission.
He didn't remember the last time he cried, but now, now his tears ran freely.
Amelia on the other hand was still not calm, she had removed the needles and wanted to go down from the bed away from him but her legs failed her and she came crashing down.
Luciano instinctively reached out to catch her but she butt crawled backwards, shivering with great fear.
Luciano's hand hung in the air in disbelief.
Was she that traumatized.
The doctors, as if sensing what happened came in just then.
"We will take it from here" one of the doctors informed and Amelia hid behind her away from the other male doctor.
Luciano was sad, sad because she couldn't recognize him and saw him as someone who would hurt her like that. He gave a stiff nod and left the room.
Later that day, Amelia's mother came to visit her alongside her sisters. Her dad didn't want to see her.
Seeing how she spoke free with them tugged at his heart strings, was he going to admit why- hell no.
"Mom, I am scared" Luciano heard her say to her mom. He had been lurking around since he left her room.
Unable to contain his anger, he left the hospital.
He drove at high speed, bringing many traffic rules, but who would question him.
He arrived at an abandoned warehouse. The place seemed normal on the outside, but the secrets behind those doors were unfathomable.
He got down from the car barely containing the haste in his steps.
He walked into the warehouse, picking up a piece of wood lying randomly on the floor.
Walking further into the building, two men tied back to back against a pillar, with five others watching them closely. The place gave the ' I am not making it out alive ' vibe
Luciano took wobble chair and sat on it, he faced them. This would be a good time for a cigarette but he was not a fan.
The men tied up were haggard and unkept.
They were the goons that hurt Amelia.
God Father Marcello wholeheartedly sacrificed them to save the clan from Luciano's wrath.
Luciano watched them for a split second and snapped his fingers and they were woken with water that is literally freezing.
"Ah," they both woke with a start.
They both have scars on their faces. Hank and Fred, as God Father Marcello had called them, had been tied up and tortured for the pass two weeks. Hank is the original scar face and Fred was scarred by Amelia .
Luciano made sure they regretted their actions, but regret was far from what they deserved.
"Sir, please , I didn't touch her, it was all Hank" Fred pleaded earning a glare from Hank, while Luciano watched in silence.
"Boss, that's not true....." Hank couldn't complete the statement when Luciano's phone rang out. He raised his hand to demand silence.
The voice on the other side said something earning a smirk from Luciano.
The smirk in the dim lighted place seemed really sinister.
"Boys, you are in luck, I won't touch you today". He said as he dropped the call, Fred almost squealed in joy but the next words that left those lips took the little joy away.
"He will " he completed gesturing at a well built man. The both of them stood like ants next to him.
"Enjoy" Luciano smiled but it was short lived.
