The Mafia Mistress

The one where I won

Grace's pov:
Pain.

That is all I felt in my entire body at the moment. The constant beeping noise was annoying than ever. Not that I don't know what the beeping comes from, the situation is somewhat repeated history.

I opened my eyes to the bright lights stinging my iris. I felt some weight on my right hand. Looking down I saw Jared holding my hand while his head rested beside my waist on the bed. I feel bad for him. I put so much burden on him. Not just him Mark as well. They do so much for me and yet no matter how hard I try I will never be as good as them. So respectful, successful and supportive. The things I'm saying right now are not coming from the person I am in front of the world. It's a side nobody knows accept for a few people. Including the one who betrayed me. The one I fell for.

I moved my hand a little making Jared jerk his head up.

J: Grace.....you're awake...
G: hmm.....

That was all I could say. I felt like all my energy was drained out of my body. I realised I did not have the oxygen mask on. Which was a relief. That shit is annoying. I was trying very hard to speak and only managed to stammer Jared's name.

J: shh...its okay you don't need to speak. Its alright. Do you need anything?

I nodded my head confirming I don't. I saw him rush out of the room. He came after a few minutes with the doctor. He came closer and checked the monitor. He checked my heart beat, temperature and took my blood to diagnose for any kind of diseases I may have gotten through the bullet. Later then the doctor told me to rest.

Jared's pov:
She's okay. Thank god! Grace is fine and awake.

After the blood diagnosis it comes out she is free from any diseases and the glucose now will be removed because she can eat. Thank goodness.

On my way back from the wash room I happened to cross by the cabin of doctor Potts. I heard him calling to me for a chat.

D: hello Jared, have a seat
J: thank you
D: um...we need to talk
J: about Grace?
D: yes...
J: anything serious?
D: no...I just need you to know that her condition is very weak. She is barely able to speak. So I just need to tell you that we might have to keep her here for....a while.
J: and how long exactly is this while?
D: depends...as I told you she is very weak. Even after discharge there has to be a person to take care of her all the time. Any type of stress can worsen the situation. So I just needed to inform you this so that you are mentally prepared.
J: but......she will be fine right?
D: indeed yes she will. But we have to be very patient with her. She needs extra care.
J: I'm ready to give her all the care she needs but do you assure she will be alright?
D: yes she will.....don't worry.
J: thank you.

I left his cabin to go back to her room. The things he said were bothering me. But he said she will be fine. I know she will. I will do everything to keep her alright. I can't lose her.

I won't.

1 month later

Jared's pov:

J: Grace!! Come down! Dinner's ready!

G: coming!!!

I saw her rushing down the stairs in her favorite shorts and tshirt, while I placed the food on the table. I made her favorite pasta recipe for dinner, with a layer of cheese on it. She loves that.

Yes Grace is just fine. She's okay. And I can't even describe in words how happy I am about it. It's all I could ask for. After her discharge from the hospital I've been staying with her at her house. This is because we can't tell Jenna about the incident because she'll just go crazy if she knows. We decided to tell her after a while. Plus I want to be around her to take care of her. Make sure she doesn't need anything. And I personally am loving that. This is just making me fall even harder for her. I've been staying here since the past 4 days. But technically I've been with her 24×7 even at the hospital for the entire month.

Anyways right now I'm just admiring how adorably she's savoring every bite of the pasta.

J: you like it?
G: like it?...I love it. It's amazing. You should be a chef.
J: yeah?
G: mmhm
J: well you should be a food taster. Seeing how much love eating.
G: oh I would love that. But I don't like seafood.
J: you don't?
G: nope...except for prawns I like them.
J: ooh cool.

We finished dinner and she helped me do the dishes and clean the kitchen despite my protests....but everyone knows she's stubborn. No one can convince her for not doing stuff.
After all this we decided to watch a movie since we were both just bored. We sat down on the couch all set to start. We wanted to watch something thrilling but ended up watching Frozen.

After the movie ended I was about go back up but she pulled my hand making me sit back on the couch.

J: what?
G: we need to talk
J: okay...about what?
G: promise you will answer honestly and won't get mad.
J: okay I promise
G: where is Sebestian?
J: .......
G: Jared please tell me what did you do?....Everytime I asked you either change the topic or tell me something like doesn't matter or forget it and stuff like that. But I need to know. Where is he? Tell me please.
J: fine.....he's dead. I killed him
G: what!?

Hello people! I hope you all are doing great. Thank you for being so patient despite my delay. Anyways stay safe.
All the love❤
