Only Yours

Goodbye

*Two hours after Lilah got kidnapped*

ELIJAH'S POV

I can't help but silently cry to myself in our bedroom.

When she said see you soon did she mean in hell?

At least when she was in the pool house I knew where the fuck she was.

I sit up, on her side of the bed.

My feet touching the ground and my hands gripping the sheets harshly.

There was a knock on the door and anger just rose to the surface.

"Elijah-"

"What? What? What, what, what, what?! What could you possibly want from me right now??" I ask Greyson who's head is sticking through the door.

"We have an update on Lilah.." he replies.

I nods my head for him to continue.

"Might want to come and see." he continues.

I stand up and follow him downstairs and outside.

Two of my men approach with Lilah's arm's on their shoulders.

Her hand is hanging low and she can barely walk.

"What the hell happened?" I ask Greyson.

"She was barely walking up to the front gate. By the time they got to her she passed out on the ground. They searched her for bombs and now she's here." he replied.

"Okay, but what happened to Giovanni?.."

"We don't know yet. They said she hasn't said anything yet." he replies.

I leave Greyson walking over to Lilah. I'll meet my men halfway.

They spot me and head towards me.

Once i'm close to Lilah I hold her head up.

"Giovanni sucks at having last words." She tells me with a small weak smile.

"What happened?" I ask, looking over her whole body for anything crucial.

Her left leg all the way down to her ankle definitely needs some attention.

"I'd really love to explain later." she says tiredly.

"Well I need to know what happened to Giovanni. Are you safe?"

She looks me dead in the eyes and for a second I felt like peeing myself.

"Alright. You'll tell me later." I nod in agreement.

I kiss her quickly, "Call Dr. Quille, make sure she's okay and treated for. ALSO, someone please let me know what the fuck happened to our backup."

My men go and do just that. A few other's assisting with Lilah.

I take a moment to myself.. A breather.

I almost could've lost Lilah again for good.

She told me to trust her and I did..

It's just as the minutes went by.. I started to lose faith.

Holy fuck am I glad I didn't.

Okay well I did, but it was restored once I saw her.

Her soon wasn't soon enough.

I was about to be in the pool outside with Damien.
