Chapter 69 A firm support
VICTORIA’S POV
My eyes opened to an annoying phone ringtone, and I couldn’t help but wonder who made such a
bothersome invention. Of course, this feeling onlyes to mind when sleeping. Otherwise, no one
would dare to imagine such a thought in this world.
I groaned and rolled over but pulled once again into his possessive arms. Alessandro nuzzled the nape
of my neck and mumbled, “Let it ring, don’t leave me.”
I suddenly felt my heart flip inside in a happy mood as I bit my lips, suppressing the threatening smile
and nodded.
However, my happy mood was ruined when the phone started ringing again, and I heard his groan.
I patted his hand. “It’s alright. Might be an emergency.”
Aless groaned but let me go. I rolled to the other side and picked up the call without looking at the
screen and the caller.
“Hello...” I spoke in my sleepy tone.
“Are you sleeping still?” I heard Antonio’s astonished tone from the opposite side, and without even
seeing him, I knew he was surprised and watching his wristwatch.
I looked at the phone screen, and shit! It’s ten in the morning! In my entire life, I have never slept so
But today, I slept so long! Fuck! I turned to the side, ncing at the sleeping figure who had pounced
on me like a wolf the whole morning and worn me out!
“Victoria, are you there?” I heard his tone again; this time, my sleepy haze was already gone
I nodded, staring at the marbled ceiling. “Yes, I am. I overslept today.” Once again, I watched the
sleepy man beside me.
“How is everything at home?” I asked next and heard Antonio sighing, alerting me as I sat up, covering
the quilt toward my chest.
“What happened, Ant? Everything alright? Are mama and papa fine?” I asked, suddenly not feeling
good.
I didn’t realize my tone until I felt a movement beside me. As I turned my head, Aless was awake and
sitting close to me, watching me with a silent questioning gaze.
“Victoria, you have toe back,” Antonio spoke, raising my heartbeat. “Papa is not well. He needed
to be hospitalizedst night.”
“What?!” My eyes widened, and a part of my heart clenched so tightly that I forgot to breathe for some
time. “How is he now? Why didn’t you inform mest night? What happened to him?”
I cried out as I felt all my limbs going cold.
“Hey, Princess. Don’t cry. Calm down. Last night, Papa felt a slight ache in his chest, and I immediately
took him to the doctor. They checked him in an emergency, and the report said he had a heart problem.
His heart has a blockage and needs to be operated on soon. We need you here, Princess. Papa wants
to see you,” he said, and I was already crying ocean at that moment.
“Of course, I aming right now! I will directly meet you guys at the hospital. Please take care of
mama more at this time.” I said as I felt a caressing on my back.
It’s Aless. He doesn’t know what is happening but is trying to calm me with his worried and confused
gaze. Even now, my admiration grows for this man who knows how to be supportive in silence.
“Sure, we are waiting for you. Don’t worry; I am in the hospital with them. You arrive soon.” I heard
Antonio, and I hung up the call with no reply.
My hands clenched his arm tightly as I turned to Aless with my teary gaze. He wiped away my tears
and shushed me.
I can’t tell if it’s our intimacy, my pregnancy hormones, or the overwhelming emotions making me this
weak and a crybaby.
I sobbed hard. “Pa..pa, Aless...” I covered my mouth and huped. “Papa is in... The hos-pi-tal,” I
sobbed and stuttered. I was on the verge of copsing in his embrace, but he held me tightly and kept
me safe in his arms.
“We are going back to America.” I heard him saying, and I nodded in his chest.
I felt him moving as I was leaning on his chest. A few minutester, I heard him speaking, “Get the
flight ready; we will leave for New York in an hour.”
****
I took a sharp breath as I gazed out of the ne’s window at the white clouds. We are all on our way to
New York in Alessandro’s private jet, except for Jayden, who needed to attend a crucial business
meeting and would join us tomorrow. He requested that we keep him updated on Papa’s condition.
I was sitting starlight, tapping on the floor with my heel impatiently. I was impatient and called Antonio
at least five times and asked about Papa’s condition within an hour.
At this moment, I felt like my whole world is crushing apart. I was so close to my father since childhood.
Maybe he was angry when I changed my identity and did not talk with me for three years, and I never

med them for that.
I made a mistake that time and got my punishment. But now, the situation has changed, and my
parents and the whole family have be my mental and emotional support.
Papa held a special ce in his heart for me, and I spoke with him every day during my stay in Paris. I
even spoke with both him and mamast night.
But no one informed me about him. Why? And the following day, Antonio called and told me he was in
the hospital?! Oh, Lord, Please help my Papa.
Sitting so nervous, I felt an arm snaking me around. Alessandro was seated next to me, but my anxiety
made it difficult for me to speak to him. However, he seemed to know what I needed exactly and
remained by my side, providing unwavering support.
He pulled me closer and secured me in his arms, locking me in his calming scent. Even though I was
so anxious, I leaned on him. He is just like a shadow, always ready to protect and make me feel
protected.
I felt him dropping a kiss over my head as I heard his tone next, “Don’t worry, he will get well soon. He
still needs to y with his grandchildren.”
Even in this situation, I smiled a little putting his words into an image.
Well, I couldn’t hope any better...
