Unwilling

chapter 10.

Recap : 

Lucas POV:

Again, Leo started talking about how "she can visit whenever she wants." I asked him, "Who are you talking about, Anthena?" like an innocent child would. He replied with a yes. I was doing a happy dance inside. I can see Anthena a few times. Okay wait.... ...... ........ Why am I becoming like this? Am I falling for her? No, I am a playboy. I will eventually get bored with her.

Leo's POV:

I was sitting in the car, frustrated by the things that were happening. That's when I got a call from Luca saying that Amelia was in the hospital. I was so shocked. I can't even describe how I feel. I rushed to the hospital to see Luca and Mom sitting in the lobby of the hospital. I went to Luca and asked about Amelia. He helped me calm down. He described it as mild food poisoning. I know that it's not mild due to the condition Amelia is in.

So I thought of leaving the culprit for a few seconds to take care of Amelia. I am so worried about her. She doesn't deserve this life of danger. But I had to take care of her. I stayed for an hour in the hospital. Luca had told me about some girl he caught while she was trying to break into the house. She seems to be Amelia's friend. I want to surprise Amelia when she wakes up by showing her Anthena. I can't go home to bring her, so I asked Luca to treat Anthena well, which includes providing her food and a neat environment, and bring her here. He seemed happy about the task have given. The reason for his happiness has to be investigated later. I decided to stay in the hospital however long it takes. I sent Mom home with Lucy to take care of Cilia. I stayed in the hospital. After what seemed like an hour of waiting, the doctor said that I could go in and watch Amelia. I went inside the hospital room that Amelia was in, and my heart broke seeing her like this. Many tubes were attached to her; she used to be so playful, always smiling. But now seeing her on the bed with tubes attached breaks my heart.

I feel helpless now. I can't manage to live in constant fear of Brandon. I have to do something to build a secure life for Amelia. I sat there watching Amelia for hours. I lost track of time. That was when I started speaking to her. I want to share all the things, all my feelings for her. So I started speaking to her. 

"Hi, Amelia, I am Leonadro; you are the only person who can make me feel alive. You changed me from the moment I laid my eyes on you. You are the most innocent girl I have ever seen. I can't imagine my life without you. I want you by my side in everymoment . You might be worried about all the people who are always watching my back and are ready to stab me. But I promise you, I will protect you with everything I have, even if it means my death. I will go to the ends of the earth to make you happy. I am waiting for the moment I bend my knees and say three magical words to you. The moment when you come to me in a white dress, willing to share the rest of your life, at that moment, you will be the queen, and I will be your king. In that moment, when you come to me with our daughter in your hand, I am willing to spend the rest of my life with you. I know these won't happen because you hate me. And I don't want to put you in danger. So I have to let you go. But this will all happen if you wake up. So please wake up baby." 

I was crying the whole time. I wish that was my life with Amelia. "I know you won't hear all this, but I can't stop myself from saying this to you."

After I told this to Amelia, I heard some noise from behind. I turned to see a crying Anthena, which shocked Luca. She went outside the room, crying like there was no tomorrow. Luca went behind her. The reason for Lucas shock was pretty explainable. I have never shown any emotions except anger. So me showing an emotion except anger is not what you see every day. It's Luca who we are talking about. He has known me since I was in diapers. So he knows everything about me, except this side. So he was shocked.

Then, after a few minutes, a red-faced Luca and Anthena came inside the room. oh wait! Why is Luca's face red? It was Anthena who was crying right. I observed his face closely to watch a slap mark. Oh my god, Luca, the famous got slapped. She did the right thing. Oh my god, I was trying so hard to stop laughing. Luca saw me and was so embarrassed. He stopped in his tracks.

Anthena was coming towards me. She stopped when she was right in front of me. She was standing, and I was sitting. She knelt down and took both my hands in hers, and she said 

"Amelia deserves you. Before, I thought she was in the wrong place, but she is in the right place in the hands of the right person. I know you take great care of her. She has been through a lot, and the only people who loved her were me and her mom. Now it's you. " Anthena was crying so hard. I wonder what my princess has gone through. I was about to ask Anthena about Amelia's past when she started talking again. 

"What happened in her past is the thing she has to tell you. She will understand you. She is not as bad as she seems," Anthena said, then wiped her puffy red eyes. "I will go back to my house after talking to her when she wakes up. I promise I won't disturb you again, and I will wait in the lobby. Call me when she wakes up. One more thing, don't send this jerk."

She said this by pointing a finger at Luca. She said that she went outside the room, and I was awestruck by her words. Actually, I was wondering if Amelia would accept me. I have to get close to her. And I was wondering what Luca did. I was about to ask him what he did when the hand I was holding moved a bit....
