All Chapters of A Nurse for the Mafia Don : Chapter 191 - Chapter 200

Grace's Pov A wave of relief washed over me, so intense it almost made me dizzy. I felt the waterworks threatening to start again, but I fought them off, the tearful smile from before finally breaking into a genuine, beaming one.“Thank you, Mum.”“Take care of yourself, and come home soon. And tell Silvano to expect a very long, very serious talk from your mother about taking care of her daughter,” she finished with a playful sternness that made me giggle.We said our goodbyes, and I ended the call, my chest swelling with happiness. The sun was just beginning to rise over the city, casting a warm, golden glow across the balcony. I felt Silvano's presence behind me as he wrapped his hands around my waist. I leaned my back to his front as he rocked me. “You handled it well,” he said.“You heard all that?” I asked. “Just the part of you telling her how much you love me,” he said, kissing my hair. “I think she is still worried,” I said and he turned me around to face him.“I would be

Grace's Pov The cold that had washed over me was a physical weight, crushing the air from my lungs. My mind, which had just moments ago been filled with the warm, giddy glow of engagement and joy about how my life has turned out, was now suddenly a chaotic mess of static.What? The single word was a silent, frantic scream inside my head.I didn't want to believe that. Elizabetta can't do that. We are friends. We are close. We have shared things, talked into the night, express our feelings.What is going on?Why is saying this? Or is my ear hearing something else. I didn't know when tears welled up at the back of my eyes. I can't believe it. Maybe she was forced to say that. Was someone threatening her? Or is she in trouble?Beside me, Harper and Valentina reacted instantly. Harper's gasp was sharp and loud, a sound of pure shock, while Valentina's face went from soft concern to icy fury in a fraction of a second. She left the door and took a step towards the kneeling Elizabetta,

Grace's Pov I couldn't bear to listen to her screams and cries. I couldn't bear to see her in pain so Silvano took her with him.Where he was taking her to, I didn't know. She was my friend. Even though she hurt me, she was once my friend and I liked her.All I knew was that Silvano was going to question her and punish her. What the punishment was, I didn't know. I was alone in my room, just staring at the ceiling while thinking of everything to go on. It shouldn't have happened. Nothing was supposed to go wrong. I sighed and went to the bathroom. I ran the bathtub, then I stripped my clothes and got into the bathtub.I relaxed my muscles in the water and stayed like that for a long time. It was when Silvano came back, I left the bathroom to meet him. I wrapped the bathroom rope around myself and left the bathroom.He was sitting at the edge of the bed, his head in his hands. I walked to him and lifted his hands before straddling him. He raised his head and I saw the darkness

Grace's Pov I was hurt. Deeply hurt.If anyone was keeping something from me, it shouldn't be Silvano. I agreed to get married to him. I accepted to do life with me. He shouldn't have lied to me and kept things from me.The door to his office was not a flimsy thing, but I slammed it with all the force my shock and anger could muster. The sound echoed in the silent hallway, a physical manifestation of the crack in my heart.Grace Green.I clung to the name, the one thing he hadn't tainted yet. Gattina. It was his pet name for me, a soft word in a harsh world, but now it felt like a cage, a pretty, velvet-lined trap built on lies.The name doesn't make me feel special anymore. It made me feel stupid.I ran. I didn't care where I was going, only that I had to get away from him, from that office, from the scent of his cologne and the sight of his stunned, speechless face. I wanted to get far away from anything that reminded him of me.The cake tray lay abandoned on his desk, its slice

Grace's PovI was tired of bowling my eyes out and I eventually left my bed to get water from the kitchen because the one by my bed side has finished.I found my mum making food and I was about to turn back before she saw me but she beat me to it. “Don't leave. Get whatever you want,” she said and I entered the kitchen and fetched the jug of water. I was about to leave when she spoke. “I found Silvano waiting outside the door. He said you didn't open the door for him.” I heard him. I heard him call my name, telling me he wanted to talk. Even begging me to open the door for him but I didn't.I didn't feel like talking to him. “Okay,” I said and was about to go when she spoke. “I don't know what happened between you two but you should both talk it out. You are not Grace I know. You are not happy and the last time we talked, you were happy. Talk to him and resolve your issue,” mum said and I nodded. “Mum, did you ever know what dad did exactly? Like his place of work?” I asked her
