My Dangerous Wife (Sequel to My Dangerous Husband)

Chapter No.20

Heaven Venezia:-

"Did you go through the details I asked for, Rick?" I asked as I tried searching for someone who could be behind this threat on our database. I was looking for all of the enemies and the list of men Giovanni killed to protect the family and throne. Someone who could be looking for vendetta.

Rick nodded, moving closer to the screen in front of which I made piles of folders with information about Giovanni’s previous enemies. Now that the children are gone, I can focus on the current situation in peace.

"I don’t think I missed any part; I went through every detail. I searched their names, and their relations, and even searched the families and the associated members. But for the moment these markers fail to point toward each other, there is no direct correlation. Many of the persons who would have wanted revenge have been incarcerated, placed on house arrest, or… taken care of. Nothing has been found until now."

"Search harder, Rick. My family and this throne is at stake." I groaned, exhausted after working the whole day while Giovanni was getting treated by the doctors in the fort. I have talked to them and told them about Giovanni's situation and as of now, they are trying to find a cure for it. Doing their best to make the antidote.

"I know, Heaven, but why don't you go and rest? You have been working all day and look exhausted. It's not good for you and the baby, and you have barely eaten anything." Rick spoke, concerned and I nodded my head, agreeing with him that I need to rest if I want to do this.

"You're right, and I will go and take a nap for a few hours, just keep me updated and let me know if any situation arrives, okay?" I tell him and he nods when he looks over at the screen and frowns "What? What happens? Did you find something?"

"Look at the De'Lucas name over here. It is highlighted as if Giovanni did it before meeting up with the accident." Rick spoke, "They were creating issues way before Giovanni lost his memories, but now that the word is out, they are making issues."

I leaned closer to the computer and squinted at the brace of highlighted text I saw on the screen. "So the De Lucas was already on Giovanni’s radar," I whispered to myself. "It must have been going on for some time now even though it was kept a secret."

Rick nodded and spoke.

"Giovanni had probably marked them as hostile and maybe intended to take out the entire group before everything happened, " He paused, glancing at me. "If the De Lucas’s knew that Giovanni was onto them, this probably is their best opportunity to attack when they feel we are weak."

"They are wrong if they believe that one blow is enough to disable us," I managed to say, making fists with my hands. "It simply signals that we have to act now… I cannot allow them to relax, feeling they are in a superior position while in fact, they have been anticipating for an opportunity like this."

Rick nodded in agreement. "I will assemble the team and make sure that we are in order as far as the defense is concerned. But what about Giovanni? He would be in the middle of all this if he had his senses well intact; he would be planning right along beside you."

My eyes filled a small pang of regret as I remembered Giovanni who was lying in the medical wing and having no idea of threats accumulating around us.

"He’ll come back to us," I whispered more to the empty room than to Rick. "And until he does I’ll run this empire. But you’re right, Rick. It’s what Giovanni would want for us to be ready."

Rick immediately shot me a reassuring nod for which I thank him till this day. "Then we’ll be ready. I’ll begin collecting the newest information on the De Lucas and try to have an idea of what they might plan to do next." he began to leave when I stopped him.

"Rick, any news from Carmen?" I asked, taking a deep breath "Please tell me the package is on the way."

"Yes, the package is on the way, and so is the assignment, Heaven." he answers "Are you sure you are up for this, Heaven? Why don't you let me take care of this?"

"I appreciate your concern, Rick, but you are already doing too much and got your handful and to be honest, I can't do this without you. Your help and assistance means so much to me." I tell him with a smile "But this is something I have to do on my own to keep my husband safe and alive. Just wake me up when the package arrives. Alright?"

"I will now go and rest," he replies. I nod and head to my room knowing Giovanni's treatment will still take time. After making my way in the room I stripped out of my clothes and put on a silk knee-length black nighty. My boobs were aching and needed to be free from the torture of a bra.

During my pregnancies with Lorenzo and Gabriella, Giovanni would barely allow me to wear the bra, knowing how much it irritates me and whenever he got the chance, he would massage my breasts and give me feet and back massage. I really miss him, and knew he would be back to me. Back to me with his memories, but one thing is for sure. I will have him with or without his memories.

"Uhh, feels much better." I sighed, massaging them, and got under the covers. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I was asleep. This pregnancy was tiring as compared to others since in my last two pregnancies I didn't have to do anything but rest and in this one, I don't know if I will get the chance to rest or not with so many dangers and enemies lurking in the shadows.
