《Ruthless Billionaire》Five
Advertisement
Two months later
Two months was enough time to change everything around Alessandro Romano. Even if he was unaware and was taking longer sleep in a coma, his empire was crumbling down.
Though the media was not informed about the news and everything seem smooth inside Romano industries but the CEO himself was on the verge of losing his place. All because of Ileana Romano, step-mother of Alessandro Romano. Why? Greed to be in the power even against the cost of sabotaging her son, step-son.
Every person loyal to Alessandro was getting kicked out and replaced by Ileana's feet licking puppies. Even Darren had notice of replacement in his hand. Should he be surprised? No. He was not surprised by the moves Ileana took as it was her ultimate chance to be in power.
Now her final move was to stop life-support given to Alessandro. Early in the morning she rushed to the hospital to proceed with her final move. Never in the span of two months had she visited Alessandro in the hospital. Even though she kept everything updated, she was only waiting for the news of her step-son's death. But the removal of life-support could make her wish come true and she was there to make it happen.
She demanded the hospital authority to stop the life-support of her son. She ordered the hospital management to obey her as the patient's mother and new owner of the hospital. But the procedure took long enough that it was informed to Darren and Bianca. They were the guardian of Alessandro on his death bed.
Soon Darren rushed inside the doctor's room and demanded to adjourn the step but could not undo it. On the other hand Bianca was all tears holding Alessandro's hand. She was wrecked because of the news. She could not comprehend the idea. She knew he was the major investor of the hospital so why was not he being cured? She had her hopes. He had even moved his little finger once, weeks ago. Then why now?

"I have to save you." She whispered to him. She could not let him go. Not now when she had attachments toward him. Unknown but real even if it had to be a feeling of humanitarian.
"We will." Darren replied her putting his hand on her shoulder to encourage her.
"What can we do?" She sobbed.
"I don't know." Darren sighed.
"Can't we shift him to any other hospital where he can still get life-support." Bianca proposed.
"Only if we can escape him from here. His step-mother is after his wealth and she wants him dead. So, how will we take him out of this without risking his life?" Darren questioned.
"I know most of the people here. The incharge at mortuary can help us find a body double and show his life-support being taken off and finally escape him out at night but we have to elongate time till night." Bianca suggested.
"I will look for something," Darren informed and rushed out of the room.
"You will live and we will make it possible." Bianca squeezed Alessandro's hand.
*******
Later that night everything was done according to the plan, one side Ileana was happy to know Alessandro was no more a threat to her, on the other side Bianca and Darren took Alessandro to the public hospital to regulate his life-support with the help of office staff. Even Dr.Ethan shut his mouth and informed Ileana that his son was no more and ready to be buried.
No, Ileana did not bother picking her step-son's dead body from the hospital as she was in seventh heaven celebrating her victory. Little did she know it was temporary.
*******
"Any improvement?" Bianca asked Dr.Mark with hopeful eyes.
"He is. His brain is responding to our treatment and is slowly functioning. Hope we can soon remove his life-support." Dr.Mark consoled her.

"Thank you doctor." Bianca thanked him.
Just then Darren entered the room with lose tie and ruffled hair. It was his fifth interview this year and to his luck he was hopeless about it too.
After the replacement of major staff and board members in the Romano industries recession had bite everyone's back. That included Darren. He was Alessandro's right hand and hiring him would bring threat to the company. Therefore everyone played fair and did not bother hiring him.
With this the financial burden of Alessandro's hospital went on to Bianca and she did not complain that. She just had to shift back from her 1BK room to the orphanage and her savings for little Zina was nil that month.
"Any luck?" Bianca asked to which Darren shook his head.
"I don't think they will call." Darren sighed.
"Don't lose hope, be positive." Bianca patted his shoulder.
"So what did the doctor say about him?" Darren asked Bianca.
"He is improving rapidly and does not need life-support," Bianca answered.
"Well that is good news after such a long time." Darren chuckled making Bianca smile.
"He has grown a lot of beard, do you think he needs shaving?" Bianca asked Darren for his advice.
"Sure but he likes it long."
"I don't," Bianca complained.
"Do as you wish, he owes you that much." Darren laughed making Bianca blush.
"I will go buy a razor for him, do you want anything to eat?" Bianca asked Darren but he shook his head.
When Bianca walked out of the room Darren watched Alessandro thinking how such ruthless beast became so lucky that he had an angel by his side caring day and night, supporting him physically and financially. Even he was helpless. He had his own family to feed, his wife, daughter and one more in a row to pop-up four months later.
"Wake-up bastard, she is the one for you. Release her from the burden and make her yours," Darren whispered.
Just then Alessandro flicked his eyes open.
"Alessandro," Darren muttered in surprise.
