intense it felt like it could break free at any moment. Matteo and Lucas stood close behind. The moment the elevator doors opened, Mia stepped inside without wasting a moment, with Matteo and Lucas quickly following. Lucas hit the button for the second floor, and the doors slid shut. The elevator climbed swiftly, the small space heavy with tense, suffocating silence.
As soon as the elevator stopped and the doors began to slide open, Mia pushed through, not waiting for them to fully open. She rushed out, her eyes scanning desperately.
"What happened to my husband? Where is he?" she demanded, panic rising in her voice when she saw Alessandro wasn't in the ICU.
"They've taken him to the operating room," one of the bodyguards informed her. Without wasting a second, Mia darted toward the operating room, her heart pounding with every step. Everyone else followed her.
"Mia!" Alexander called out, his voice filled with concern as he saw her rushing down the hallway. He quickly moved to intercept her, wrapping her in a firm embrace to try to calm her down.
"Let me go!" Mia struggled against his hold, her voice breaking. "Where is Alessandro?"
"Mia, please, calm down," Alexander said softly, his voice heavy with sadness as he tried to console his
Sister.
"Where is my husband?!" Mia demanded through gritted teeth, frustration boiling over. She couldn't stand how everyone seemed intent on keeping her away from the man she loved more than anything.
Mia shoved her brother with all her strength, desperate to free herself. But Alexander was worried about her physical and mental state. He didn't want Mia to see Alessandro in his current condition. The mere thought of something going wrong already weighed heavily on his heart. "The doctors are treating him in the operating room," he explained calmly, trying to keep his voice steady.
"But what happened to him so suddenly?" Mia asked, her voice trembling with fear.
"His pulse and heartbeat suddenly dropped," Alexander said gently. "But don't worry; the best doctors in the country are with him right now, He's going to be fine," he assured his sister, trying to ease her fears.
"I want to see him," Mia demanded, her voice resolute.
"Mia!" Alexander sighed, his face etched with worry. "You can't see him right now."
"Why not?" she shot back. "Doesn't this hospital belong to you?" she asked in a frustrated tone.
"Mia, there are medical protocols. We can't interfere with the doctors while they're working," Alexander tried to explain patiently.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
"Okay, I understand," Mia said, her voice softening. "I won't interrupt. I just want to see him from afar. I promise," she pleaded desperately, her eyes wide with worry. Alexander's heart melted: there was no way he could deny his baby sister's request. He nodded reluctantly and led her to the small glass window of the operating room. As Mia peered

around Alessandro, moving swiftly and with purpose. One doctor was administering injections, while another was preparing the defibrillator.
Mia's breath caught as she saw them place the shock on Alessandro's chest and deliver a jolt, his
body jerking violently in response. The tension in the room was palpable; nurses moved quickly, handing over tools and equipment, their faces set with grim determination. The beep of the heart monitor echoed, interspersed with urgent commands.
Mia pressed her uninjured hand against her chest, feeling her own heart race with fear. She whispered silent prayers, her lips moving in fervent hope for Alessandro's recovery. Every second felt like an eternity as she watched the doctors fight to bring her husband back in his consciousness, her entire being focused on that small window, willing him to survive.
Suddenly, the doctors stopped moving, their hands frozen in place. Everyone in the room stood still, eyes fixed on the heart monitor. The steady beeping had been replaced by a long, monotonous tone, and the zigzag line on the screen had flattened. Mia's breath caught in her throat, her heart seeming to stop for a moment as she saw the lead doctor shake his head, his shoulders slumping in defeat.
"No!" she screamed, her voice breaking with anguish. Without thinking, she shoved the door open and rushed inside, panic driving her every step.
Alexander was right behind her, calling out, "Mia?! Wait!"
But she didn't hear him-she couldn't hear anything except the ringing in her ears and the pounding of her heart.
All she knew was that she had to reach Alessandro, had to see for herself that he was still alive-that everyone else was wrong. Tears blurred her vision as she pushed through the room, her gaze locked on her husband's still form.
