Enzo's eyes widens and he swallows hard but he doesn't feel guilty about it even though he knows he is the cause of the accident, he just got the car from his promotion, he has been promoted but has decided to stay longer in Italy before going to California and he is determined to take Fiorella with him.
He quickly reverses the car and drives off without waiting or even calling for help.
"I hope he dies." Enzo chants with a glint of evil and hatred in his eyes. "I pray he fücking dies, I only want her to myself," Enzo smirks and continues speeding like an insane person.
He loses control of his car, he steps on the car's brake but because of his speed, his car crashes against a tree.

Enzo reaches his apartment, blood is dropping from his head, instead of treating his wound immediately, he calls Fiorella. She has gotten a new phone and it's easy to communicate with her now, she answers his call almost immediately.
"Hi, Enzo" She answers over the phone, her voice sounding cheerful.
He frowns knowing that Tito must be behind this happiness. He doesn't like this revenge scheme of her getting close to him, he fears that she might develop feelings for him, he is a snake and he is cunny, she might fall for his trap.
"Enzo" She calls because of his silence.
"I am not fine, I had an accident.'' Enzo winces and holds the wounded part of his head to block the bleeding but it is quite a waste of time.
"What!!!" Fiorella exclaims.
"Is it serious? does it hurt anywhere? should I come over? are you at the hospital?" Her questions makes him happy that she cared, that is one step to gaining her love.
"I am at home, please come fast, I don't think I can..." He fakes a shaky time and he pauses.
"Enzo, Lorenzo!"
Enzo with a small smirk on his lips, hangs up the call. He smirks for a while and limps to the couch and lays on it leaving his wound untreated.
Minutes later Fiorella arrives though it is late at night, she cares about Enzo, he has been a good friend to her especially in her father's case.
"Enzo!" Fiorella yells and bangs on the door but no response comes.
She twists the door handle downwards and it opens, she pushes it..
"Enzo" She calls and turns on the lights, her eyes widen when she sees Enzo in a pool of blood, that's just an exaggeration but she is really scared.
"Angel" She calls and rushes to him.
" Enzo," She calls and shakes him, she touches his forehead but he is already running a fever.
"Gosh, you have a fever and you are bleeding so much," She mutters fearfully.
She goes to where the first aid is kept, she brings it out and walks back to him, she starts treating his wound but she's a bit messy because of her shaky hands, the blood coming from his head is a handful.
Enzo smiles inwardly, he isn't really unconscious, he just wants to play the victim even though his new car has been damaged at least he gets to spend more time with Fiorella and have her shower her care on him, he hopes that this doesn't end and that Tito dies, that is is his major wish.
"Enzo be fine please, be fine," Fiorella mutters as she bandages his head.
"Jeez, there is so much blood," She winces, staring at the couch stained with blood.
She finishes bandaging his head, she cleans his face and the couch next, it is a tough job, but she succeeds in it.
"Goodness!, this thing can't come off," Fiorella scrubbed the blood off the arm of the couch.
She is done with that and puts things in order, she takes off his shirt and starts massaging his body and his forehead, she needs his high temperature to reduce. His temperature starts coming down slowly, some of her tears fall to arm.
"Are those tears" He smiles inwardly. "She is crying for me,"
Fiorella wipes her tears and stops massaging him with the wet towel, she keeps the things aside and sits beside him.
"Guardian angel, wake up please," Fiorella whispers, she is really worried about him.
"Maybe I should take him to the hospital," She whispers to herself.
Just then Enzo moves his fingers and flickers his eyes open like he was unconscious in the first place.
"Enzo" She calls with a happy smile.
"Fio... " He stutters and moves a bit.
"It hurts right? Let's go to the hospital"
"No, I don't want to, just get me some painkillers in the drawer," He mutters slowly.
"B-but"
"No buts, please just.. do what I say..."
"Alright" Fiorella sighs.
She heads to his room and takes the painkillers and goes back to him, he swallows the drugs and lays his back on the couch to sleep.
"Sleep close to me," Enzo requests with a small smile.
Fiorella is bothered by his request but he doesn't look fine, so she replies. "If that's what you want"
He moves a bit and she lays down on the space left on the couch, Enzo's lips brim with a smile, he groans a bit but ignores the pain and wraps his hands around her waist and she swallows hard.
"Slowly, but surely you will fall for me and forget Tito, that's if he is still alive" Enzo smirks and crosses his legs , making her more uncomfortable.

In the morning Fiorella makes some breakfast for Enzo and leaves a note that he should go to the hospital. She goes back home and makes breakfast for the kids. They are going to school today and Signora Ginvera wasn't aware of her disappearance last night.
She places the oily pan on the fire, allows it to heat up and pours in the eggs. She cooks the scrambled eggs fast and toasts some bread, she takes it to the dining table after that she goes to wake the kids up and get them prepared for school.
Seems like they slept with butterflies on their stomachs because they are all smiles this morning.
"Eat fast, you don't want to be late for school" Fiorella smiles.
"Mamma, when is Papa coming?" Noelle asks and takes a big bite of her food.
"Soon" She frowns and pours in some juice for her.
"I can't wait to see Pamela" Noello mutters and almost smiles.
"Pamela again," Noelle giggles.
"Just shut up already, bad ass" Noello frowns.
Fiorella leaves them both and goes to the sitting room, she is ready for work as well, she puts on the television and the news pops up.
"An accident has been recorded on the bridge where a car entered into the water and the patient is presently in the hospital, he has been identified as Tito Denero, the Ceo of silicon groups," the newscaster said.
The remote control falls from her hand, she sees the name of the hospital he has been taken to on the screen. Without a word, she runs out of the house.
___
Fiorella gets to the hospital in a rush, she stops at the reception and talks to one of the nurses.
"Is Tito Denero here?" Fiorella asks desperately.
The nurse checks the computer in front of her searching for his name.
"Yes, he is the emergency room 101" She is about to ask who the patient is to Fiorella but she doesn't wait.
Fiorella rushes to the emergency room and just then the doctor steps out.
"Doctor, how is he?" Fiorella asks at the brink of tears.
As if she knew his question, she retorts. "He is my fiancée,"
"I am sorry, miss," the doctor begins.
"Sorry about what?" Fiorella interjects.
"We lost him, we couldn't save his life miss, I am sorry, he is dead," He responds and her world crumbles that very minute.
