My Favorite Sin (Republished)

Chapter 20

~ L O R E N Z O ~

Shit. Everything hurts.

I slowly open my eyes to realize I'm laying in some sort of hospital bed—

What the fuck happened?

I scan the room and notice there's 2 chairs beside me, one of which Vinnie is sitting in, his head in his hands.

"Vincent?" I croak out, sounding completely unfamiliar.

His head shoots up, allowing me to get a good look at him.

His eyes have large and dark eye bags, his hair is a mess, and I can tell he hasn't shaved his face in awhile.

"You look like shit brother" I say laughing and he doesn't react at all.

He looks frozen.

After a second of him just staring at me he jumps up and tightly hugs me which causes a sharp pain to shoot through my body and I groan out "Get the fuck off of me fat ass"

He chuckles and let's go but when I see his face again I notice there's tears streaming down his cheeks.

It's not normal for us to cry, my father taught us from the day we could talk that we shouldn't cry. So whatever happened has to be serious—

My mind jumps to the worst possible conclusion, Leila.

"Is leila alright?" I ask, nerves racking my voice and he sighs.

No. My heart sinks.

No, no, no.

Fuck! I fucking got her injured or—

Or worse.

"Do you remember anything? Do you even know why you're here?" He asks me and I shake my head no.

"You were shot in the abdomen by Lucas's fathers men."

I feel my blood fucking boil.

That fucker Lucas. Even while he's dead is a pain in the ass.

He was my right hand and a very loyal worker to me for years—

Then he fucked Leila in the bathroom like she's some sort of cheap slut, knowing damn well she's off limits, so killed him.

I've wanted to do it since I found out he was fucking her while I was in Italy honestly. It was a matter of time.

I was merciful enough not to drag out his killing but now I regret that.

Vinnie takes in a sharp breath before continuing "after you where shot Leila killed the man that shot you and another one in your bedroom before that, she rushed you to the hospital and called me"

I smile at the new information I learned.

She killed 2 men on her own?

And she's the one who brought me here?

So she must be ok. Thank fucking god.

I look at Vincent's face and I can tell there's more to the story and it isn't good.

"They performed an emergency surgery and saved you but you've been in a coma-"

I cut him off "WHAT?!" I bellow, fear and anger swirling in my throat.

A fucking coma, "For how long"

He sighs and looks at the floor "brother calm down it isn't good for your body and you've been out for almost 2 weeks"
