Lucien's POV
Adeline, Alessandro, Celine and myself were on our way to visit Aarav again
We enter the hall and see the same nurse from last night leaving his room.
Her uniform is disheveled, even missing a few buttons, her hair is a mess, all of her mascara has run down her face
"I'm sorry. Miss Romano, I- I" she begins stuttering when she sees Adeline
"Just clean yourself up and get back to work" Adeline replies and the nurses walks away
Why didn't she scurry away like last night........Oh that's right, she can't, she just got....anyways
We barge into the room and see Aarav already dressed in a navy blue dress pants and waistcoat with a white shirt. The blazer was on the chair to the side of his bed.
His two guns with their holsters were on his bed and he was putting on his diamond earrings
"Ooooo, I have visitors" he says turning around
"How are you guys?" he asks us
"You're the one hospitalized yet you're asking us how we are. Shouldn't we ask you that?" Celine responds
He just shrugs
"Doesn't matter, now answer my question. How are all of you?" he says
We all answer positively, causing him to smile and say "nice nice"
"What about you? How are you feeling?" Alessandro asks him
"I'm good. I mean my chest still hurts but I'll be fine" he replies
"Why are you dressing up all fancy? You're not planning on escaping....are you?" Adeline ask, folding her arms
"You know I like dressing formal. Also no,, I'm not planning on escaping." he says and I see him cross his fingers behind his back on that last part
Adeline narrows her eye at him and nods in response
and then we all sit around and talk and laugh for a few hours before we decide to leave
We were walking in the parking lot when we saw a Bugatti Veyron parked there
Identical to Aarav's one
"Aless, you don't think this car look too much like Bixby's one." I ask
"It looks exactly like his. Too bad we don't know his license plate number of the top of our heads." he replies and scratches his head
We get into our car. All of us came in the same car. My Koenigsegg Gemera
We sit inside and as I'm about to drive off.... Guess what we see
Fucking Aarav climbing down the fire escape before he jumps down on the ground
He goes into the Bugatti and sits down. He starts it, revs the engine and pulls off. He drives in front my car, laughs and flips me off before speeding away
Adeline and Alessandro mutter curses and laughs
"Babe, call him. Here's my phone" I say, giving Celine my phone, and driving behind him
"There's no contact named Aarav" she replies
"Yeah, look for Bixby" I say and she nods, calling him
He answers on the second ring
"Where the fuck do you think you're going?" I ask and laugh
"Whatever do you mean. I'm laying on my bed in the hospital. Too injured to even consider leaving." he replies and I hear him laugh while saying the last part
I see him speed up so I do as well
"I race you to my place." I say
"You'll lose. How much money are we betting?" He asks
"Let's do a small amount. I say about 250 million" he replies
"Done" I agree
and as soon as I say that last part, he speeds up even more and puts his hand out the window, flipping me off once again
"You're driving like a bitch. Speed up" Celine says
"Jesus Christ babe, let me drive" Celine says, climbing on top of me, when my driving is not good enough for her standards
Not like I'm an underground racing champion or anything
"She's right, you drive like a bitch." Aarav replies and laughs
I should hang up the phone
"Wait, is Celine driving now?" Aarav
"Yes she is" Celine replies
"Makes no difference. Lucien, get your agent on the phone to transfer my money." He replies
Alessandro laughs and I turn around to glare at him
"Who's side are you on?" I ask
"I'm on the winner's team.....whoever it may be" he replies
Asshole
Celine shifts gears and within seconds, we're in line with Aarav
She unconsciously grinds into me and I grip her waists
"I could used to being driven like this." I say
"Hey hey, behave yourself. There's people in the car." Adeline replies
"Yes Chips, Have some shame" Aarav says, occasionally glimpsing at our car
"Shut up bro." I reply
Celine shakes her head and both cars make a right turn. My house is straight ahead. Both the gates are open
"You got this babe." I say, encouraging her
"No she doesn't" Aarav replies and cuts the call
This motherfucker then straight up leaves us in his dust and zooms to my house, he even made a show of drifting around my fountain, waiting for us
When we drive through the gate, he stops drifting and and parks his car
Celine also parks and we exit
"Fuck you" Celine and I say in sync when we Aarav leave his vehicle
"I'm open to the idea." He replies and tries not to laughs but as always
He ends up failing
I take my phone out and call my bank manager.
Aarav's POV
"Yes hello. I'd like to transfer 250 million into Mr. Patel's account." Chips says
That's me
"Yes skip all the paperwork; just transfer the money......Thank you very much. Have a good day." He replies and hangs up and shakes his head at me
"OHHH, speaking of money, I have this for you." I reply and open my trunk
I take out 4 duffle bags filled with cash and hand one to each of them
"That's from when I lost snakes and ladders." I tell them and then we all go inside
As soon as I walk inside, Adeline immediately slaps me on my head with all her strength
"Ouch girl, widdi fuc_" I begin
"Shut up, why did you have to escape? Was my hospital not up to par? What if you'd ripped your stitches climbing down. You almost died and then you do this shit." Adeline begins yelling at me
"Hey hey, its alright. Calm down." I say, hugging her
"I'm fine. Nothing happened to me." I attempt to soothe her
"Bullshit that nothing happened. The bullet missed your heart by a few centimeters." she replies
"Exactly, it didn't hit my heart. Now, if I make fudge for you, will you forgive me?" I reply and wiggle my eyebrows
Celine's POV
He actually did it
He made fudge for everybody
He made two trays for Adeline and one for the rest of us and he even prohibited us from touching Adeline's fudge
Alessandro tried to play the fiancé card but ended up getting his hand hit with a spoon.....multiple times
A few minutes later, both Lucien and Aarav's parents came inside and greeted us all, then Aarav's mom asked him
"Son, What time today did you escape the hospital?" she asked and we all turned to look at him
"About half two maa, why?" he asked
Uncle Zayne and aunt Aria erupts in laughter while Lucien's parents shake their heads
"HAHAHAH, I told yall, he would escape within two days." Uncle Zayne says and aunt Aria nods her head in agreement
"Aarav, why'd you have to escape son? You could've helped us win if you stayed in the hospital just for another day?" mama says
"Hold up" Aarav says and puts his hand up
"Yall made a bet on what day I'd escape the hospital....... I don't know if to feel proud or offended so I'll choose to feel proud." Aarav replies and nods
My phone rings and I see my mom callling
"Salut maman" I greet [Hi mom]
"Salut chérie" she replies and I hear my dad also say hello [Hi sweetheart]
"Guess where I am" she says and I can hear the excitement in her voice as well as my dad snickering in the background
"Where?" I ask
"Italy" I hear my dad say from the other side while I hear my mom hit him for shouting in her ear
I hear him mumble an apology and give her a kiss
"Are you serious?" I ask, quite excited
"Of course I am. We'll be there soon." she replies
"How do you know the directions?" I ask
"We contacted your parents in laws." she replies
and I blush
"Why you blushing Cheesecake?" Lucien asks and pulls me into a side hug
"Nothing Orchid." I reply
"let me hang up now. We'll be there soon anyways. We look forward to meeting everyone." she replies and cuts the call
I want food
