Hiding the Billionaire Mafia’s Twin

“My baby” Gwendolyn screams louder. “It hurts” She cries, rubbing her stomach in pain.

“Someone help me!!!” Gwendolyn screams, a maid runs into the room and is stunned.

“My lady” She calls and rushes to the aid of Gwendolyn.

“Take me to the hospital, I don’t want… to lose my baby” She coughs in between.

The polyclinic **

Tito rushes back to the clinic, holding the antidote tightly, he can’t risk it breaking like in the movies, no magic would bring it back. He goes to the emergency ward and alerts them. “I brought the antidote”

Fiorella’s eyes widen and she goes to him hastily. “You really brought it” Fiorella sniffs.

“Yes,” Tito responds.

He faces Laura and tells her to call the doctor “Tell the doctor I brought the antidote”

Laura leaves to call the doctor.

“Where did you get it from?” Fiorella asks curiously, staring at the bottle.

Tito stares at her and she looks totally different without the eyeglasses or the hideous wig, he gawks at her hair, her pale face, she’s really beautiful.

“From the person who had the poison…I know I have a whole lot to explain to you but I will do it when our daughter is fine” Tito mutters, this is the first time is ever talked gently to her, his conversation with her has always been unpleasant.

Fiorella blinks multiple times wondering if it’s the same Tito Denero or someone else.

“Don’t get ideas” He said, going back to his usual hoarse voice.

She jerks out of her thoughts and turns to the doctor who is already behind them.

“This is the antidote” the doctor requests and Tito gives it to him carefully like an egg.

“I hope it works” the doctor smiles and leaves.

Noello marches to Tito, like he was ready for a fight.

“Not this kid again” Tito rolls his eyes, forgetting for a minute that he is his son.

“How did you get the antidote?” Noello asks, in a commanding voice.

Tito gasps and frowns. “It is none of your business!” Tito shrieks and walks away from there.

Fiorella wipes her tears and stares at both of them, their attitude is the same, cold, arrogant and hostile.

“Noello, are you hungry?” Fiorella inquires in a shaky voice, her lips still trembling.

“Yap” He replies in a low, shy voice, that thick tone wasn’t dominant.

“That’s what you get when you act stubborn and avoid breakfast” Fiorella seconds before rubbing her eyes in a childish manner.

“Whatever” Noello hisses and walks back to where he sat.

Fiorella sighs, he’s back to his old, rude self. She faces Tito who is still lost staring at her from where he is standing. Fiorella quickly looks away, she looks gorgeous right now, that’s why those sexy eyes of his are on her.

“Noelle, be fine for Mamma,” Fiorella mutters sadly.

Gwendolyn wakes up from her unconsciousness, she turns side to side and sees she’s connected to an IV drip. She struggles to sit up, her maid assists her by putting pillows behind her back. She has no family in Italy, they are in different countries, her parents are in America, she has underdogs that run her company for her and they dare not cheat her.

“My lady, how do you feel now?” the maid asks.

Gwendolyn touches her belly and her mind goes to her baby.

“Is my baby fine?” Gwendolyn asks with tears welling up in her eyes.

The maid keeps quiet. “Answer me!” Gwendolyn screams and holds her stomach.

“I’m sorry but the doctor said you lost the baby, it was too weak to survive the force” the maid replies as gently as she could.

Tears roll down Gwendolyn’s cheeks and she suddenly laughs. She laughs hysterically like she has become suddenly demented, she starts speaking incoherently “No, you are lying, Tito’s babies are fine, I’m going to have twins, a girl and a boy, he likes children, I like kids too, this can’t happen!”

Her maid feels so sorry for her.

“No, this can’t be happening” Gwendolyn cries heavily.

“My baby is safe” She wails loudly.

“Tito!!!” She shrieks hatefully.

The polyclinic ***

Good news has been given by the doctor, that Noelle is out of the woods, after that Fiorella goes to check on Signora Ginvera who’s blood pressure has spiked up.

“Noelle is fine mom, stop being worried, you should rest” Fiorella giggles and pats her head slowly..

“I’m so happy” Signora Ginvera smiles.

“Mamma, I will be back” Fiorella smiles and kisses her hair.

She leaves the private room and goes back to reception, Tito has paid the bills and Noelle has been transferred to a private ward as well. Meanwhile Noello is groaning because of his stomach which is hurting because of hunger.

“Noello, are you alright” Fiorella asks worriedly and meets him.

Fiorella looks around for Laura.

“Where’s Laura?” Fiorella asks Noello.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“She left” Noello groans.

“Noello, let’s go to the doctor” Fiorella suggests and touches his stomach.

“No!” He refuses because he’s scared of needles.

“Here”

He looks up to see Tito who drops the plastic bag of spaghetti bolognese on his lap.

“Eat” Tito orders.

“Are you trying to poison me too?” Tito rolls his eyes and walks to a seat. Fiorella smiles at his gesture.

“You should eat” Fiorella mutters and pays his head. She goes to sit beside Tito.

Noello opens the plastic bag, seeing the yummy spaghetti and fork inside it, his stomach rumbles more.

“What if it’s poisoned?” Noello mutters. “To hell with poison” Noello scoffs and starts eating like his life depends on it. Fiorella giggles watching him.

“How did Noello get poisoned?”

“It was all Gwendolyn’s doing, I told her about the twins and she gave them some chocolates through me and…” He trails off.

“That witch, I am going to skin her alive, I swear it!” Fiorella swears angrily.

Tito sighs and decides to start the conversation about their past. “I don’t understand anything, I don’t remember you”

Fiorella directs her gaze to him, maybe for the first time she can look into his eyes more calmly.

“It’s been six years and I never knew the man who got me pregnant. It happened so fast in an Exclusive hotel and I was drunk and I think you mistook my room for yours. I don’t know what happened but the next morning, I discovered that I had just lost my innocence… months later I discover that I’m pregnant, I was actually engaged at that time and I couldn’t get married to him anymore, it would be atrotious for him to take care of another other man’s children,” Fiorella explains, she recalls everything and tears fills her eyes.

It was hard being pregnant, taking care of the twins, and being poor made things worse. Tito finally remembers her as the woman, who kept calling him someone else’s name in the room, she was really drunk that night.

“I couldn’t afford anything, I couldn’t get a good job or even send the twins to school properly, they were always sent home because of their fees” Fiorella pouts, fighting back her tears.

“I’m sorry for not being there for you” Tito replies.

Fiorella’s face is filled with shock to hear him say sorry. “Did you just say sorry?” She gasps and smiles.

“I won’t repeat myself” He pouts.

“I mistook you for a hookup girl that was hired to relief my stress, I didn’t mean to destroy your life”

“It’s fine, you gave me two beautiful children and they are the best things that has ever happened to me” Fiorella smiles beautifully..

Tito places his hand and hers, caressing it gently. She faces him with a wider smile. Noello looks at them and frowns, he can see Tito flirting.

“Ah!” He shrieks.

“Mamma, it hurts” Noello fakes a groan.

“Noello” Fiorella calls worriedly and goes to him, she touches him.

“Where does it hurt?”

“Everywhere, Mamma” He cries.

Tito notices the foul play, while Fiorella is busy touching him, Noello looks at Tito and sticks out his tongue.

“Like father, like son” Tito murmurs with a smirks.
