Matteo expected Mia to fight back or argue, but to his surprise, she remained calm and composed.

"Don't worry; I will see him from afar. But I need to be here for him," Mia replied firmly. Matteo pursed his lips, nodding in understanding.

They both boarded the elevator and pressed the button for the third floor.

"I went to get a coffee since no food or drink is allowed in the intensive care unit waiting area," Matteo. explained, even though Mia hadn't asked. Mia nodded in acknowledgment.

Matteo cleared his throat, trying to start a conversation. He knew how his friend was fighting for his life in the ICU. Having witnessed everything, he knew that the Italian don couldn't prove his love to his wife or clarify the misunderstandings between them. Mia still didn't believe her husband.

Matteo understood how Mia must have felt when she left Alessandro and the beliefs she held at that moment. But the misunderstanding needed to be cleared between them. Since his friend was still unconscious, Matteo decided to take matters into his own hands. He resolved to convey all the unsaid things Alessandro couldn't express, as his cold-hearted and ruthless mafia friend was unable to say good. things about himself and show his love.

Aria, Alessandro has always loved you. The news of him being a womanizer was all fake, a cover to protect you from his enemies. If they knew how precious you were to the mafia boss, they would target you to weaken Alessandro," Matteo explained. Mia was stunned. She had always believed Álessandro didn't love her, especially since he had never openly shown his affection.

"Did you know from the very beginning that I was his wife?" she asked, her gaze filled with questioning.

"Yes, I was shocked when I saw you after six years, but I wasn't entirely sure that it was actually you. However, Alessandro never had any doubt. From the moment he saw you, he knew you were his Aria. When we thought you had died, Alessandro fell into a deep depression and lost the will to live. He loves you so much, Aria."

Mia listened as her husband's best friend revealed shocking truths she had never known.

"I had to literally fight with him to keep him alive, and only with medical help could he return to his former self." He paused, observing Mia's stunned reaction, before continuing. "You know, Alessandro could have forcibly brought you back, but he chose not to. He wanted to win you back and earn your love on his own terms."

Mia was once again taken aback She was fully aware of what her ruthless mafia husband was capable of. But he chose not to use his power and strength to bend her to his will.

The elevator door opened with a soft bell as they reached the third floor, but Matteo didn't stop. He continued speaking as they walked toward the ICU where Alessandro was being kept.

"You know, Aria?" Matteo began, his voice filled with intensity. "When I suggested he take a DNA test to prove the paternity of your kids, he refused." Mia was once again shocked by this revelation. "He could have easily secured his inheritance by submitting the DNA report and proving that Gia and Maximo are his children, but he didn't. He willingly gave up on wealth and power," Matteo added, pride evident in his tone. "Do you know what he said?"

Mia gestured for him to continue. She was too intrigued to speak.

Matteo smiled softly as he spoke, recalling his friend's words from a night when Alessandro was utterly drunk and had finally opened his heart to him. "He said, 'I married her for power and wealth, and I don't want to repeat that mistake again." He doesn't want anything, Aria, Matteo looked at her, his eyes pleading "He only wants you and the children to be with him. You are all his real wealth and power. Don't leave him. He can't survive without you."

"Who said I'm going to leave him?" Mia whispered, her voice trembling as her eyes glistened with tears. "I'm not going anywhere, and neither is he, she declared with desperation, her love for her husband overwhelming her emotions.

Matteo came to an abrupt stop when they reached the ICU room where Alessandro was being treated, prompting Mia to halt as well.

"How are things going?" Matteo asked the guard stationed outside Alessandro's room. Mia noticed there. were four guards around the Italian Don's room, with two more posted near the elevator.

"Everything is fine. No threats," the guard replied crisply in his professional tone.

"Has anyone come by?" Matteo asked, turning toward Lucas.

"Yes, Mr. Vinci. Two nurses' came to check the boss's vitals," Lucas replied.

This made Mia pause. Something felt off. The receptionist had told her that only one nurse was assigned to Alessandro for the night.

"Why didn't you go in with them?" Mia questioned, her voice laced with annoyance.

"Mrs. Valentino, they said no one was allowed inside except hospital staff, Lucas explained.

"Did you check their names?" Mia asked urgently, her heartbeat quickening with a growing sense of

unease.

"Yes, ma'am. One was Nurse Livia and the other was Nurse Bianca," Lucas replied calmly.

"No, that's not her!" Mia shouted in panic.

She couldn't explain further as she darted toward the door, but Matteo and Lucas understood immediately. Without wasting a second, they both ran after her as Mia used her uninjured hand to forcefully push the door open. 746
