His Light

A glint of emotions

Alex's Pov

It was the next morning as I woke up in that hospital bed alone, the warmth I once felt was gone. I looked at my watch and it was 8 am. I don't remember how I got here. The only thing that caught my eye in this room, was Lilac sitting on the couch and reading a book.

"Lilac you are up early." I said as she looked at me.

"Yeah, I woke up early" she said now looking down embarrassed. Was she blushing? It made me study her expression even more.

And then I asked myself why was I in her bed.

"Lilac why am I in your bed? Where did you sleep?" I was confused as I saw her blushing even more.

What happened after I came here.

"You were drunk and fell asleep in the bed as you grabbed me. I could not wiggle out, you were too strong." she told me in a small voice .

I don't know but I liked the fact that she was blushing because of me.

Then I stood up and made my way to the bathroom to freshen myself.

"Lilac I am calling my men and we are going home" I smiled to myself how weird it sounded because I never referred to the place I stayed as a home. "They will bring you some clothes to change into before we leave the hospital okay?" The only thing she did was nodding to what I said.

I went afterwards into the bathroom and looked at my reflection. I realized that I looked well rested for the first time in my life. Was it because of Lilac? Why am I so kind to her? I don't know I don't fucking know. I am fucking Alex Dalton I can't be confused. I became angrier and angrier and punched the mirror, breaking it into pieces. Blood now dripping down my knuckles.

I am full of rage and the littlest things set me off.

"ALEX ARE YOU OKAY? I HEARD GLASS BREAKING" I heard Lilac yelling in front of the bathroom. Why does she care? She confuses me.

"Alex can you please come out I'm scared" as she said this, I opened the door and looked at her. She was so short and so beautiful.

"ALEX YOU ARE BLEEDING, GIVE ME YOU HAND" she said worriedly as she carefully grabbed my hand and walked me over to the couch.

"Here sit I will ask for a first aid kit to take care of it" she said as she left the room. I couldn't complain. I was just shocked at her reaction. Why would she take care of my wounds after everything I did to her? Why is she being so nice to me? I don't understand.

I snapped out of my thoughts as I saw Lilac crunch down in front of me to take care of my wounds.

"Why did you hurt yourself? You could have lost a lot of blood. Be careful next time." was the only thing she said and I was so taken aback that I just hummed in response. Why does she care? I am a bad person nobody should care about a mafia boss.

I'm the devil itself. I am the embodiment of the evil.

And then I realized that she doesn't even know that I'm involved in a mafia.

I'm sure she has a lot of questions.

I looked at her beautiful appearance as she cleaned my wound and began to wrap the bandage around my hand.

"Lilac do you want to ask me some questions? I'm sure you have a lot of them." I said in a calm tone.

"Will you hurt me when I ask?" she said in a small voice as she nervously bit her bottom lip.

"I promise you I won't" I said as she began to ask me.

"What is your job and why did you k-kill that guy? The one I saw dead on the ground" she asked nervously.

"Don't freak out but I'm working in the mafia, actually I am a mafia boss and the owner of the biggest mafia in the US. And to your second question, I had to kill him, because he stole something from me" I finished my sentence as she stared at me with wide eyes.

"A-are you going t-to kill me too A-Alex?" she ask now trembling.

"No I won't, but you have to stay with me. I can't risk information going out even though I have power over the police." I said after she released a breath she was holding in.

But our conversation was cut short when a knocking interrupted us. Six of my men entered the room, which made Lilac hide behind me in fear as she grabbed my arm.

"Good morning boss." my men said in unison.

"The car is ready and we brought the clothes you asked for." was the next thing one of my men, Damien said.

Lilac now released her grip from my arm as she realized that they were no threat.

Then I walked up to Damien, who was holding the clothes I instructed them to bring for Lilac.

"You can leave and wait in the cars now" is what I told them, taking the bag from him.

My face cold and emotionless.

"Yes sir" they said in unison and left the room closing the door behind them.

I turned to Lilac and gave her the Louis Vuitton bag with the clothes in it.

"You can wear some of the clothes in the bag, I will wait while you change and then we will go home." Again this foreign feeling of the word home.

"Thank you" was the only thing she said as she went for the bathroom.

20 minutes later

After she stepped out of the bathroom, she was wearing a light pink floral dress, matched with beautiful white sandals. The dress was hugging her in all the right places. Her hair was tied up into a messy bun and she wore a little bit of makeup.

She looked absolutely breathtaking. And I couldn't take my eyes off her.

"I'm ready to go" she said as her voice brought me back to reality.
