Sinfully in love

Cursed

(At the safehouse)

POV: Jewel

"Hunter, sit down-"
"Jewel, please shut up, I don't want to shout at you right now." He said cutting me off. I got up from the bed and back hugged him, stopping him.
"At least sit down and think? You're roaming around like a bug." I said to him.
"Why aren't they here yet!?" He shouted and I tightened the hug.
"Shh...you're panicking, Sherrif." I turned him around and cupped his face.

He looked at me then at the floor, trying to calm down. He panics so easily, this must be so hard for him to come to terms with. He eventually calmed down and hugged me back and rubbed my back. "I don't know why you were at the hospital but I'm so grateful that you weren't at the bloody mansion."

I sighed and caressed his back. "Who are you waiting for?" I asked him.
"The high rankers...I called all of them here...the police are searching the mansion. I need all of the gang members isolated..."
"I think that can be put on hold for a few hours," I said to him.

"No...god, Jewel, my house was set on fire, Hayley's father died and shit-"
"Hunter...everyone needs some time off, this is too stressful," I said to him. He sighed and picked me up and laid me down on the bed.

Then climbed on top of me and kissed my neck before burying his face in it. I hugged him back and rubbed his back. Soon I felt him relax and he fell asleep. It had just been an hour of coming here and everyone was panicked.

I feel a little guilty because I do feel bad for Hayls and that Marcus guy. I just can't show it properly, my mind always goes back to how I'm going to tell Hunter about the pregnancy. I hope everything calms down again...or just ends now, it's getting way out of hand. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep as it was almost time for sunrise.

POV: Donato

Those horrifying scenes weren't ready to leave my head. As the hot water ran down my body, all the memories I had in that house walked past me. Ezio designed that house...and now it's burnt, gone, just like Marcus...Ezio...and probably a piece of me.

Yes, a piece of me...death took with Ezio...and now I lost another piece of myself. Marcus dying...burning broke all our spirit...especially Hayley's. She hasn't said a word since she stopped crying. Not a single word.

I left her on the bed and she didn't use any speech. I lost myself the moment I saw her breakdown on the concrete, I understood how it feels to see someone you love break piece by piece.

I turned the water off as I had enough of these thoughts, no one here has time for grief right now. A fucking man was burned alive, we all had work to do to punish the culprit. I wrapped a towel around my waist and walked out of the bathroom door.

I again saw that defeating expression on her face...she just sat on the bed with no emotions...just staring at the floor as silent tears fell from her eyes. I quickly wore my sweats and went towards her, I had enough of this silence.

"Amore...Hayley, talk to me please." I said to her, sitting on the floor, next to her. "You haven't said anything...please...just talk." I rubbed her hand as she looked up at me.
"I left him..." She said and those pearl tears again came up in her eyes.
"Hayley, it's not your fault." I rubbed her hand and kissed it. "I told you that 3 times."
"I shouldn't have...I knew something was wrong and still, I left..." She said, leaving me speechless.

I didn't say anything to that, not because I agreed with her but because I didn't know if there were any words left to make her believe it was not her fault. I was angry at the fact that I checked all the CCTV the day before the fire. I can't believe that Hunter didn't find anything from the CCTV, they were new.
