Emiliano didn’t go to Ride fast casino to fish out Logan, hell no he had better things to do than deal with the likes of Logan who pulled cheap stunts just to get to him. Crawford was the bigger fish and now that he managed to have Martinez oil company in his grasp, Logan was left penniless because even his private accounts he had in the US now belonged to Emiliano, and hence Logan was just a stray dog with no place to go that was why he wouldn’t think twice to run to his partner Crawford and after the little stunt they did with the factory Emiliano had a bone to chew, and therefore he was going to get his hands on the largest casino which was Crawford’s source of income then he would see who exactly Logan would run to.
“Hahaha do you think I’m a fool Emiliano, this building ain’t for sale I’m afraid”Crawford said with a sarcastic laugh as he coldly looked at Emiliano standing near his desk, since what he came for was private Crawford led him to his office accompanied by Trey and Crawford’s men. Emiliano didn’t pay attention to Crawford’s sarcastic terms because he knew how to handle men like him.
“You colluded with your little partner and nearly destroyed my factory, and you think it went unnoticed”Emiliano looked at Crawford as he remarked in an angry tone and actually hearing the truth Crawford went pale for a second but acted normal and straightened up.
“I did no such thing as it is everything is fair in business and if you have a rival… one gotta do what they have got to do”the man said with a smirk and Emiliano nodded in mockery because he knew how the man went in getting people’s money in a shrewd way and many had been left penniless all because of Crawford’s crooked ways, but now his game was over.
“Last warning, give me ride casino and I will leave as I came”Emiliano repeated for the last time and Crawford got angry because he already refused him and wasn’t going to change his mind and sell the only building which gave him millions at the end of the day therefore Emiliano’s proposal could as well as go to hell for all he cared.
“And I said I’m not selling it!”he yelled so much as he slammed his fist on the table and Emiliano gave out a sarcastic chuckle and took his phone out and walked to Crawford who couldn’t keep his breathing stable because he was angry.
“How nice but… I guess you will have fun selling it to someone who wants it so badly… Trey, show the man”Emiliano proclaimed with a serious expression and glance at Trey nodding at him to go ahead and Trey immediately took out his phone and walked to Crawford who had his brows creased not sure what Emiliano was planning.
“Here”Trey said as he shoved his phone to the man and Crawford with some hesitation looked at Emiliano then to the phone and picked it up and when his eyes fell on the screen, his entire facial morphed into a scared one as he saw the man in black suit with a deadly expression and Crawford knew who it was and immediately swallowed dry air, his life and family would be in danger.
“Hehe you know if I decide to make that man step in this game… you won’t get a penny from him and you of all people knows how ruthless he is”Having said that Emiliano walked to the door but stopped and turned back.
“Oh and warn your little friend that playing with snakes is dangerous he could lose his life if he continues to step where I step… Trey, give the man a token of appreciation for a warm peaceful welcome”Emiliano said with a smirk and Trey nodded knowing full well what his boss said and immediately Emiliano opened the door to walk out two huge men dressed in all black got in the office and closed the door. Emiliano stayed there without moving and after hearing Crawford’s cries and begging, he smirked and made his way back to the casino and once he got there, he spotted a friend of his at the bar counter, but Logan was nowhere to be seen therefore after he said hello to his friend, Emiliano left the building went to his car and drive away from their unfortunately he got in an accident on the way courtesy of Logan and for that he couldn’t keep his hands to himself therefore he taught Logan a lesson and knew the man would be in the hospital for a long time.
“How did you get this?” Sia asked as she was now cleaning his hand and had gotten rid of his blood stained shirt, and to her surprise he wasn’t hurt anywhere which meant the blood wasn’t his so how did he get his shirt stained or did he get into a fight.
“I’m fine… the question is how are you feeling?”he avoided her question and tried to avert her mind to something else but Sia wasn’t listening.
“That’s irrelevant, how did you hurt your hand… why are you so careless huh… this isn’t the first time, the last time you played a hero and got badly burned”her voice was full of anger as she dressed his wound, Emiliano didn’t utter a word he only stared down at her without blinking and felt strange. The tone of her voice carried anger but behind that anger was concern which he rarely got.
“I’m sorry I left the hospital without informing you… I had work”he said in a soft low voice, only then did Sia look up at him and met his piercing gaze.
“Really? You had work, and you came home like this”she asked him, but Emiliano didn’t know what to say next and Sia ignored him and continued bandaging his hand after applying some healing cream to stop the pain. It looked like he crushed a glass in his hand again.
“This is nothing, what’s important is how you are feeling… do you feel pain anywhere… tell me”he asked with desperation as he felt her neck then caressed her face, Sia blinked several times and shoved his hand away and got up to leave but Emiliano caught her arm before she could go.
“Let me go!”sia whispered through gritted teeth as she trailed her eyes from the spot where he was holding her then up to meet his gaze as she glared at him, but Emiliano ignored her death glare and held her by the shoulders.
“My life isn’t essential to me… as long as you are safe and alright I have nothing to worry about”he bent down to her level and murmured to her, Sia looked at him without moving and felt like killing him.
“I’m okay… so does that mean I can’t worry about you?”she asked him and Emiliano went silent and sia knew her answer.
“You need to rest now”it was more like an order and saying that he prepared to drag her to the bed but Sia stopped him.
“If I’m important to you then why can’t you be important to me”it was elementary if he valued her life then his life was as much important to her and wouldn’t want anything bad to happen to him.
“Sia don’t be stubborn, you got hurt and it’s my responsibility to make sure you have enough rest… so don’t get me angry”his voice wasn’t loud but strong enough to know he was angry but sia wasn’t going to listen.
“I’m not being stubborn how the fuck do you expect me to calm down when my husband comes home like this huh… you are making things difficult for me… how can you be so selfish not to see through my intentions”this time she couldn’t help but shed a few tears and Emiliano was confused as his grip on both her shoulders loosened and kept his eyes on her without blinking.
“What are you trying to say?”he murmured as Sia got close, more tears were falling, and she could feel her body aching like before.
“You… you are very special to me… if you think i don’t care then think again because I can’t stand seeing you hurt like this… you are the most important person in my life and if… if anything happened to you I… I would die Emiliano”she said with sobs and actually hearing her words Emiliano went still from shock
“R… repeat that to me”he whispered as he leaned close resting his head on her shoulder as he took in her sweet scent, all lost emotions rushing back and Sia could feel his heart pounding loudly and felt the atmosphere around change drastically as she opened her mouth to make a long time confession straight from her heart.
