Chapter 371: Shattered Soul

Alessandro was wide awake but he stayed in bed with an IV connected to him. He tried hard to think of his wife. She is alive in his mind. That's the only way he could keep his wife alive. He knew it. She's dead but he denied it. How can he accept it? His life is his wife and his baby. But it was taken from him. He should be dead. 

"Keira," He mumbled as tears rolled down from his eyes. "Why? Why didn't you take me with you?" 

Johanna stood beside him and she put a towel over his eyes. 

"Stop being dramatic Sandro. Keira wouldn't want you to die." She said as she sat on the bed beside him. "So, I will take over the Golden Age tomorrow. Your dad was going to work for your company." 

"I don't care anymore." He mumbled. "I only work for my wife but~~" 

"Yeah, stop being dramatic. I know that you are in pain. But we need to make that bitch pay. So, are you gonna just lie there?" 

Alessandro removed the towel from over his eyes as he wiped his tears. 

"How? I want to kill her and that man who killed my wife." 

"Hmm, well," Johanna smirked. "You only have to say what I will tell you. For now, you have to eat." 

"I won't eat." He said stubbornly. 

"Just a little. Or else, your revenge would go for nothing if you keep this up." Johanna patted his chest. "Come on! Mom is busy and your friends are downstairs." 

"Jo," Alessandro called as he closed his eyes. "I want to stay here." 

"Okay, but I will leave your food here. Don't do anything stupid." 

She stood and left him. Alessandro stared at the food and he didn't even feel like eating. It will never be the same. He removed his IV as he slowly walked to the bathroom. He felt groggy but he still reached it. He stopped when Keira was there who was busy putting cream on her face. 

"Love, you should put this on your face too. Come here." 

"Keira," He whispered as he took a quick step and she was gone. "Keira." He's already losing his mind.

Johanna was a little relieved that Alessandro showed up. He was wearing his suit and he looked thinner than yesterday. Zachary reached his arm and led him to the coffin. She sighed and shook her head. Alessandro grabbed a bottle of whiskey and he smiled at his wife and whispered something. She knew it. He was going to kill himself anytime soon. 

"Oh fuck." She mumbled and looked at Sophia's baby who was staring at her. "Don't ever say that word. Okay, forget it." 

The one-year-old baby only looked away and hugged her mother. 

"Sorry, Sophia." Johanna stood. Alessandro turned back from his wife as he opened the bottle and swung it. Then, he started walking straight out of the room. The boys followed him while Johanna eyed the two ladies, Sabrina and Andromeda. She approached them and she sat beside Sabrina. "I only need back-up," Johanna said. 

"Anything you want." Sabrina shrugged. "I can't risk EPUA though." 

"I don't need EPUA." Johanna smiled at them and the ladies knew well how crazy Johanna would become. "I will have to go early to prepare for work. Let's not waste time mourning Keira. She doesn't want that." 

The girls were a little puzzled but then they knew well that she was special. Johanna went upstairs to change her clothes and to get ready for work. She somehow saw Alessandro on the staircase drinking but she ignored him. She will let her husband watch over him so he won't kill himself. 

Connor and Quinn are still sleeping and she needs to be in the office before ten. So, she quickly changed her clothes into something formal. She put a light eyeshadow on and burgundy lipstick. She put her high heels on and walked toward the bed to kiss Connor's lips. It woke him up and he got startled a little bit. She frowned at him. 

"Oh, you~~you put makeup on?" 

"What?" She crossed her arms. He sat up and gently tapped Quinn's thigh so she wouldn't wake up. "It looks like you are too startled. I don't look good?" 

"No. You are beautiful." 

"Okay, I will have to go to the office to do a lot of things. I will be late. But do watch over Alessandro. He can't kill himself, not right now." 

Connor scratched his head. 

"What does that mean??" He asked. 

"He can't kill himself, not right now." She said again. 

"Babe, you sounded so brutal. Are you letting him kill himself or what?" 

She picked up her purse. 

"Alessandro is already drinking without any food in his stomach." She fixed her hair and turned to him. "I will be very busy and make sure to take care of our daughter. I already pump milk and it's in the fridge." 

"Why?" He asked. "Why are you going to work when it is your sister's funeral?" 

She sighed as she put her earrings on that he bought for her.

"Because I have to work." 

Quinn woke up and turned her stomach as she looked at her with that messy hair. Then, she approached her baby and kissed her. "I will miss you, baby girl. But mommy has to work and deal with bad guys." 

"Babe, your brother-in-law is depressed and shattered. Why do you think that you have to work?" 

"It's not me." She shrugged at him. 

"I don't know what you mean." He mumbled. "You are messing with my head already." 

"Change her diapers." She told him. 

She kissed his cheeks. 

"Goodbye." 

Johanna walked downstairs and found Alessandro again. 

"Alessandro. If you want to kill yourself, at least gather some strength first so you could kill Wendy." She reminds him. 

"Kill her. I want to torture her." Alessandro said. Then, Johanna stood in front of him and grabbed the bottle. 

"Then, eat. You little fuck." Johanna's words were harsh and the boys were surprised. "Killing yourself this early won't solve anything. Also, we will have to hold the burial sooner." 

Alessandro stared at Johanna. 

"That's your sister right there." Alessandro scowled him. 

"Yes," Johanna grabbed his shirt. "And I will work and work and soon, kill that bitch. Since you can't handle it." 

Johanna left while the boys had those wide eyes and looked at Alessandro. 

"Bro, she's right," Zachary said. "Your sister-in-law is badass. You need to listen to her." 

"She's harsh," Adamson said. 

"But I agree with her," Travis said. "If you want to torture and kill this woman, you should eat and drink water rather than whiskey." He said as he passed the bottle to Adamson. 

"I don't understand. Why can she be so cool at this?" Alessandro asked. 

"There are people who move on too fast," Adamson said. "You haven't eaten for like two days now. Bro, I know that's tragic but, you should listen to her at least." 

"Bro, you said that you wanted to kill her and torture her." Zachary reached for Sandro's arm. "Then do that. But you need a strong body to do so." 

"He's right." James Mondragon agreed. "So, let's eat?" He suggested. 

Alessandro shook his head as the boys surrounded him. Adamson and Travis scoop his arms while James and Zachary scooped his legs. They take him to the nearest kitchen as the maids and butlers serve them food. He looked down at the soup. It was the soup that Keira complimented well in this mansion. 

He picked up the spoon as his eyes started heating up and the boss rubbed him. 

"Hey, do you think your wife is happy that you are miserable?" 

"No." He said. "But she's dead now. I will be with her soon." He whispered and he started eating. The boys looked at each other. They knew how much Alessandro loved Keira and that he was willing to follow her anywhere even if it was death. The boys also loved their wives and if it happened to them, they might also do the same. The most painful thing was, he lost both. His wife and his unborn baby. 

"Here, a little bread," Adamson suggested. 

"Hello, Uncle!" Connor exclaimed as Alessandro looked up to see Quinn in Connor's arms. He stared at the beautiful baby. He looked away since he didn't want to feel more in pain. But then, Connor quickly gave the baby to one of the boys. "I need to go to the bathroom." He exclaimed and rushed out. 

Quinn started crying as the boys quickly tried to coax her but no one could. So, Alessandro stood and took Quinn. Since Quinn was very familiar with Alessandro, she stopped crying. 

"Uncle is here." Alessandro hushed her as she quickly leaned and still looked sleepy. 

The boys were quiet but then James quickly made a joke to lighten the mood. In that way, Alessandro wouldn't be very lonely. 

"I think she's hungry. Where's her milk?" 

Quinn cooed in a very long tone. Then, she raised his head and stared at the boys. 

"I think we aren't that handsome at all," James said. "Look at those judgmental eyes." 

The boys looked at each other and laughed as Alessandro cracked a little smile while admiring Quinn.
