Second Chance: An Heiress Reborn

The room was dark and soundproof from the inside and the outside. It was the right kind of place where wealthy people could make shady business deals. It was also the right kind of place to get away from that kind of thing. At least that's what Matteo thought.

Laying back on a sofa, this tall and handsome man lazily opened one eye in time to see what looked like a young girl slip into his room before locking the door behind her. The handsome man sneered.

Did his family find him so stupid that a trick like this would work on him?

However, his thoughts were quickly dispelled. Almost as soon as the woman locked the door behind her, she collapsed. He watched, head tilted, as she crawled under the table in front of him before pulling out her phone and uttered a few words before passing out.

" Pl-please, save me..."

The words tugged at Matteo's heart for some reason. He got up and crouched down by this young lady and gazed at her face with his dark eyes.

Hey face was pale, and there were dried tears on her tears, but he could see how beautiful she was. Her long black hair cascaded around her and her lips were plump and pink. His eyes lingered there for a moment before sitting up slightly.

He could see that she came from a family of influence, so she wouldn't be used in a plot to get to him. The only other explanation is that someone was plotting against her. Matteo's eyes softened when he realized that she wasn't after him. Instead, someone was after her. His large hands brushed against her face, when a knock on the door interrupted him. His eyes became icy again as he approached the door and unlocked it.

On the other side where three rough looking men who, as soon as the door opened tried to peek inside the room. Unfortunately for then, Matteo's tall and sturdy build didn't leave any room for them to look in. His eyes got colder, thinking about the vulnerable girl in his room. He didn't know why he felt such a need to protect her, but his instincts are what kept him alive his whole life, so he didn't plan on ignoring them now.

" Can I help you gentlemen?"

His words came out slowly, and there was a smile on his face, but his eyes were like never ending black holes, that from which only bad things could come from. These three men may have been thugs, but they weren't stupid. They would look for the girl elsewhere. They knew that no good would come from fighting with this man.

After stammering out an apology, they went along their way.

Matteo closed the door and went back to attend to the passed-out girl. He picked her up and laid her down on one of the plush couches. He pulled out his phone, never taking his eyes off the beautiful young girl, as he made a phone call. when the phone stopped ringing, he didn't even give the person on the other side of the call a chance to speak.

" I'll be there in 20 minutes, have a room ready"

With just those words, he hung up the phone, and called his chauffeur to bring the car around to the back of the bar. With no hesitation, he scooped the unconscious woman up in his arms and strolled out of the room, and towards the back of the bar. The three thugs had already gone their way and most of the other rooms were occupied so there were very few people out in the corridor. He was able to get her out of the bar and into the back of his car with no issues.

" To St. Francis Hospital now."

Having spoken, he closed his eyes, resting his head for the ride. His chauffeur was in shock. He had never seen Matteo with a girl before, and now he is in this car with an unconscious woman?!

Shocked and worried, the driver couldn't help but looking int he back for the majority of the car ride.

Eyes still closed; Matteo spoke emotionlessly.

" Eyes on the road."

The drivers snapped back to the road, scared to defy his master. He felt sorry for whatever girl fell into the arms of this tyrant!

It was at this moment, that Alessia started to stir. Matteo opened his eyes to look at her. The moment her eyes opened, they held his.

Her eyes still held tears and were slightly red, but they looked straight into Matteo's soul. She smiled blearily and moved closer to him. He sat there frozen, unsure how to deal with what was going on. She reached a small hand to touch his face, catching a scar on the left side of his face, and sighed.

"Did you come back to dance with me again?"

With those words, she lost all strength again, sinking into his arms, which unconsciously wrapped around her.

" You gave me a chance, but I messed it up" she choked out, fresh tears leaving her eyes, the pain plain in her voice.

He couldn't understand what she was saying, but he could understand her pain. The hopelessness in her voice spoke to his spirit, and although she wasn't making a lot of sense, he understood what she felt.

Running her hand through her hair, he comforted her.

" It's okay if you messed up. I'll give you another chance."

She sniffled, grabbing one of his hands and holding it against her cheek.

"And what if I mess up again?"

This time her voice was fainter. A pressure fell on his c.h.e.s.t, almost like he had been there before, with her before.

"Then I'll give you another one"

With those words she relaxed for a moment, before passing out again. Matteo checked her pulse to make sure she's okay. He turned his eyes his driver, who had been paying more attention to what was going on in the backseat then the road.

" 5 minutes."

Just those words were uttered in a soft voice, but the aura surrounding Matteo was dark and dangerous. The driver gulped, averting his eyes, before pressing his foot on the gas pedal.

Matteo looked down at the girl in his l.a.p with unreadable eyes, before turning head to look out the window as the hospital came into view, holding her tightly the entire time.

Within the next few minutes, the driver stopped in front of the emergency hospital entrance, sweating while looking at the time. Looks like he barely made it. He clambered out of the car, calling for doctors to help the young girl in the back of the car. But, when the staff came out with a stretcher to bring the girl inside, Matteo had already scooped her up and began walking towards the entrance. A nurse began to try to convince him to put her on the stretcher, but just found herself ignored as he barely looked her way.

Despite being ignored, she only felt admiration, and envy.

What a devoted husband!
