The Bodyguard's
Sadness in the Last of Summer

"What happened to you, Principessa?" Adriano asked as himself. He lifted up and carried Miabella's slender body into the room. The middle-aged man laid her on the bed.

"I'm so tired, Daddy Zio" said Miabella with her eyes closed.

"Are you sick?" At first glance, Adriano looked at the princess' wrist, which was plastered. "What's this?" He grabbed Miabella's hand, then watched her closely. Adriano put down the weak hand and rushed out of the room. Her goal at the time was to find Luciella.

After asking some servants, Adriano was finally able to find the young girl in the backyard. "Tell me what happened to my daughter? Why does his face look pale? What pain is she suffering from?" the husband of Mia.

"That's ...." Luciella was confused to answer. Remembering the girl, the message from the young lady was so that she would not say about the situation she was in with anyone. However, on the other hand Luciella is also unlikely to not answer the question of the chairman Tigre Nero.

"I'm the father of Miabella. I'm entitled to know even if he forbids you!" adriano firmly with a sharp eye, as if piercing into Luciella's heart.

"Young ladies have miscarried, sir," Luciella replied stammered. I don't know what he'll find, after telling Adriano the truth.

"Miscarriage?" Adriano was in disbelief. “My daughter ... pregnant?” his voice sounded trembling as it held an overwhelming sense of surprise.

“Iya, Sir. The fetus in the womb of young lady is about two months old,” explained Luciella while bowing deeply. He did not dare to look at Adriano who looked angry. "Please don't tell young lady that I'm the one who told you. He would definitely be furious and might just fire me from here," Luciella half-begged.

"You don't have to worry. Thank you for telling me." Occasionally the man who was almost half a century old was restoring his dark hair violently. Adriano never felt this big. Anger, anxiety, and anger mixed into one in the chest.

“Can you do this to my Bella, Carlo!” adriano muttered in a very slow voice. However, both of his hands were already clenched perfectly.

“Is there nothing you want to ask anymore, Mr?” Luciella who was confused to see the attitude of the chairman Tigre Nero, finally ventured to ask for permission. “I have to finish the job immediately.”

Adriano immediately turned his head and looked at Luciella sharply. “Go,” said.

“Good, Sir. Excuse me.” Luciella nodded half-bendingly, before turning her back and leaving the father of her young miss. Adriano remained silent for a while before deciding to return to Miabella's room.

He saw the princess who he loved very much was sleeping with a sideways position. “Jeez, Bella. Why did your relationship get this far?” Adriano didn't care even though Miabella couldn't hear the question. He just wanted to reveal one of the many things that stuck in his heart.

Adriano rubbed Miabella's long brown hair gently and soulfully. One of the three gems in his life that he very much took care of with all his soul, turned out to have to experience a bitter incident like this. His mind drifted back to Carlo, the foster child whom he also deeply cared for.

Now, whenever Adriano imagined the handsome face of the blue-eyed man, all that was in his heart was anger and disappointment. He continued to dissolve in wishful thinking until his phone rang. Adriano reads Vlad's name on his phone screen. “Gosh!” The man immediately stood up. In a hasty move, he left Miabella's room after blanketing her beloved daughter to the chest.

Adriano rushed to the living room where Vlad had been waiting for him since. As much as possible he hid the angry face that was being felt through a calm smile. “I'm sorry for having made you wait too long,” he said feeling bad.

“Yes, all is well. Miabella just felt a little dizzy. I told him to rest. Let me represent him here,” explained Adriano.

“Oh, sure. That's not a problem at all, Mr.” Vlad replied with a big smile.

“I'll learn the proposal you've submitted as soon as possible. I'll give you the answer no later than tonight. The faster this cooperation is done, then it will be much better,” break up Adriano with confidence.

"Thank you, Mister. After all, I've been waiting too long for an answer from your daughter. I don't think it's wrong to work together. I have to admit that I don't have a big name in Italy. However, for the Russian region and its surroundings, you can check and prove yourself. I'm not a rogue businessman who would cheat in any way" Vlad assured Adriano

"Yes I don't think it's necessary. Marco has told me a lot about you, and I love it. Young but already in the business world. Marco says that you also have a gemstone processing workshop. Is that true?" Adriano corrected the sitting attitude and made himself look much more comfortable.

"Yes, Sir. I've been in the gemstone business a long time. Coincidentally, my father had also been involved in the same. It could be said that this was a hereditary business," Vlad explained confidently. There is pride implied in the eyes of the Russian man, although then suddenly faded. He touched her ear which was adorned with a small piercing.

"If you are going to be in Italy for a long time, then this cooperation will be much easier" Adriano said.

"Just calm down, sir. It can be done well" Vlad said as he tidied the blazer he was wearing. The man looked ready to leave. "I've been here too long. After all, miss de Luca also seemed to be being undisturbed. I'd better just go" said the blonde as he stood up.

Adriano followed him. He returned a handshake from Vlad politely. Adriano also drove the prospective business partner Miabella to the front page. The middle-aged man was still standing on the porch, even as Vlad Ignashevich's vehicle drove out of the second gate.

After the death of the young man from Russia, Adriano did not immediately enter. His gaze was fixed on the bouquet of lily flowers inside the trash can that was not far from where he stood. Adriano walked over, then picked up the beautiful flower. The card reads the name of the sender with the initials V.

The blue-eyed movement of the chairman Tigre Nero implies that he is thinking. A moment later, the man again threw the flower away. While walking, he still kept thinking. The sender found out that Miabella loved lily. Who is the owner of the initial V?

Adriano took the time to wash his hands first, before he went to work. For a while, the man who was still faithful with a dapper look stood while facing a photo of Matteo de Luca displayed on the wall, coupled with a photo of his parents.

"Matteo, I'm sorry that I failed to look after your daughter" he said. After that, he reached into the cell phone from the pocket of his white shirt. Adriano seemed to be contacting someone. While waiting for the call to be made, the man walked to the window and stood there. His vision was nilar to the vast expanse of newly harvested vineyards.

"Pronto." There was the soft greeting of a woman who was none other than Mia. "Darling, are you in Casa de Luca?" tanyakanya.

"Yes, Mia. I'm in the workspace right now" Adriano replied.

"Where is Miabella. How's things going? I miss you and want to talk for a minute." Some days he did not hear from his eldest daughter.

"Bella is sleeping. She had just had a miscarriage," Adriano replied straightforwardly.
