Chapter - 140 - A ghost

The woman was stunned and coughed a few times as her throat went dry instantly. She was embarrassed but didn't want to show it and refuted saying, "As if! I am just keeping an eye, so you won't harm me." Zane chuckled and nodded before continuing with the treatment.

A nurse walked to her bed and asked, "Please tell me your name, age, phone number, and address." The woman hesitated a bit but eventually told the details. "My name is Auria, 25 years old, +84************, Westwill residence, University Street." Zane couldn't control and scoffed upon hearing her name. The nurse thanked her politely and left. Auria looked at Zane and asked, "Is something funny?"

Zane stopped and looked at her fury-filled eyes. He smiled at her and said, "I think your name should be something that means whirlwind or thunder rather than Auria, which means a soft breeze." Auria was furious after hearing Zane's remarks and felt like punching his handsome face. Zane chuckled at her expression and continued to stitch her wounds.

Zane completed stitching her cuts on the abdomen and arm and looked at her bloody face. In such a short period, he knew Auria was arrogant and wouldn't allow the nurses to clean her up, so he signaled the nurse to give him the wet wipes. Zane adjusted his stool height and reached out to clean her face with the wet wipes. Auria sensed his action and immediately leaned back in defense.

"What are you doing?" asked Auria with a confused look. "Look at your face! Are you a blood sucking monster?" reprimanded Zane. Auria was confused and touched her face slowly.

'How can I be so stupid? Thank God, Papa is not here to see my face, or else, I would have been murdered by now!' thought Auria, still touching her face. Zane didn't know what she was thinking and started to clean her wounds on the face without waiting for her permission.

Auria was startled and caught his hand. "Relax. I'm just treating you," said Zane in a low soothing voice. As he cleaned her face, he noticed Auria was beautiful and charming. 'She is beautiful. Why do I have such a thought? Zane, she is your patient. Come to your senses!' Zane shook off his thoughts and put the last bandage on the side of her jaw.

Zane looked at the pretty round brown eyes and said, "Don't fight around and spoil your pretty face." Auria looked at Zane and blinked her eyes in doubt. 'Did he just say I am pretty? or was he mocking me?' By the time she came back from her thoughts, Zane disappeared.

Auria looked around the room but didn't see him. Auria sighed and looked at her wounds. "I should have at least thanked him," mumbled Auria.

Soon police officers came into the room and started to collect information on all the women involved in the fight. "Phew!!! Those women are crazy!" exclaimed Liam after drinking a sip from his coffee. The others also whined about the crazy women they had encountered. Zane smiled at their whining and agreed that those women were crazy, but he couldn't wipe out Auria's cute face from his mind.

In the meantime, Gianna had a refreshing bath and decided to meet Mrs. Rogers. "Gianna! When did you reach? You came at the right time. I just started to cook dinner!" Gianna smiled at Mrs. Rogers and asked, "How is your health?" "I am fine like an old wine! Look at you! Your face has become so pale, and those dark circles make you look like a ghost! How will you get a boyfriend if you look like a ghost with dark circles?"

Gianna was amused. 'No one has ever described me as a ghost till now! Mrs. Rogers indeed exaggerates!' "Where is Frank?" asked Gianna as she helped Mrs. Rogers with the vegetables. "He has gone to the gym. He will come by dinner time." Gianna had a peaceful time after a long time and also had a delicious home-cooked dinner before leaving for her apartment.

The next day, "Derrick, as I said the last time, there is no way out this time. They have solid evidence against you, or else why would they insist on a warrant? The warrant is in the process as we speak. Confess and receive a lighter punishment." Derrick glared at his lawyer and spat on his face. "Don't you have any shame telling me this? I was raising a donkey all these days! Incompetent fool! Get lost!" roared Derrick.

The lawyer immediately went out of fear for his life. Derrick thought of many ways to bail out of jail, but all options were dead ends. For him, there was only one way to bring everyone down with him. Derrick never knew the Capello family would cut him out so brutally.

"So, shall we start, Mr. Derrick?" asked Nora mockingly. Derrick was immediately pulled out of his thoughts and looked at her in a daze. "You are officially under arrest. Let's meet again after the formalities." Nora signaled Dan to take Derrick out. Derrick lost all his hope the moment Dan placed handcuffs on his hand. He had no other way now.

Derrick was led to a large room and saw all his men sitting on the floor in different lines. The men looked at him with worry-stricken faces as if they were asking when he would get them out. He avoided their glances and sat far behind the line.

"I will not go down alone, Capo! I will bring you all down!" muttered Derrick.
