The Long Lost Mafia Princess

Book 2 chapter 37

"Good" he says in a loving tone before bringing my hand up and giving it a small kiss making butterflies erupt and send chills around my body, the good ones this time.

I wake up in...my room?

I probably fell asleep in the car on the way home with Roman.

Did he carry me to my room?

I try to get up but pain shoots up my back.

I cry out and stop moving.

After a second or two, I slowly get up while gritting my teeth to stop myself from crying out in pain.

Holding myself upright by my furniture, I walk to my bathroom to the toilet.

I start to change my pad when I notice that I've leaked through.

No

No

No

Tears well up in my eyes but I blink them away.

I continue with what I'm doing before watching my hands and walking well more like stumbling to my closet.

I grab some sweatpants, a hoodie and clean underwear before going back to my bathroom.

I turn the shower on before I start undressing myself slowly.

It hurts to move.

My painkillers have worn off.

When the water is warm, I walk in the shower.

I try to shower as fast as I can since I just really want to lie down.

When I touch my abdomen, I almost cry from pain.

Soon I finish my shower and I quickly dry off.

After that I change into the clothes.

When I look in the mirror I shriek from the reflection.

There are dark circles under my eyes while my skin is so pale. My hair is a mess, I look...dead.

Well I definitely feel like it.

I don't even care at this point as the throbbing in my legs hurts more and more by the second.

I turn away and walk out of my bathroom.

I grab my phone, the book that I've been wanting to read for a while and some headphones. Than I stumble downstairs.

Halfway while walking down the stairs, I suddenly get an overwhelming cramp in my abdomen.

I bend over as tears start to stain my eyes and cry out.

The pain spreads further through my lower back and pelvic even more.

I feel my knees buckle while my legs start to give out on me, it hurts so bad.

I need pain killers.

Some tears fall out of my eyes while I try to walk down while crying out in pain.

I need to sit down, it hurts too much to walk.

I walk to the living room while still clutching my stomach.

Well shit...

Most of my family is here.

Some watching a movie on the tv, others just on their phone and more.

Roman turns to me, feeling eyes on him.

He immediately stands up seeing my tear stained face, my eyes still glistening with them.

He walks too me and picks me up in bridal style when he sees my legs almost giving out.

I curl into him while whimpering in my when I move too fast and a painful shock wave goes through me back.

"Ssshh you're okay, my love" he says while giving me a kiss on the head.

He puts us down on the couch while grabbing a blanket and putting it on us.

I look around the room to now see multiple faces looking at me with sympathy.

"You look like shit" Xander says out of the blue.

I look at him not knowing how to react, not even sure if I want to.

"I know, thank you" I say before turning a little so I'm closer to Roman.

He wraps his arm around me and starts rubbing my back.

I cry in pain when he presses too hard on my lower back.

Roman kisses my cheek while saying a soft 'sorry' to me.

"It's okay, it just really hurts right now because of-..." I don't say anything more but he understands what I mean and just scratches my back a little.

I feel a painful cramp come again, making me again clutch my stomach in pain.

Tears again well up in my eyes but as I try to blink them away, a few fall down.

Roman wipes them off of my cheeks, while helping me turn on my back so my head is on his lap.

He puts his hand on my abdomen. The warmth it provides, makes some muscles in my abdomen loosen.

A relieved sigh comes out of my mouth, when the pain subsides a little.

His other hand starts to play with my hair making me relax more.

"Breathe" he says gently.

Soon the cramp goes away and my dad enters in the corner of my eye.

He gives me a glass of water and some pain killers before also placing a heating pad on my stomach.

I give him a small smile and thank him.

He gives me a smile back while kissing my head, "I'll always help you when I can principessa" he says gently.

I give him another smile before he walks back to another couch, sits down and goes back to work on his laptop.

When the pain killers start to kick in, I open the book and start to read.

The book's name is: It ends with us.

And the author's name is Colleen Hoover.

I've read a few books off her and I absolutely love those, so now reading this one is so exciting. Colleen is known for her plot twists in her books, which I am a little nervous about especially since me now being extra emotional is not going to be..easy.

I'm not sure if I'll get through this book though, one of the trigger warning in this book is abuse.

I've read books with abuse in it these years and they haven't triggered me but this one is more intense.

This book is a story about a girl named Lily surviving abuse, it's about how she grows in life and so much more.

I start to slowly read the book and soon I get sucked in the story while Roman holds me tight to him in a loving way.
