The Long Lost Mafia Princess

Book 2 chapter 82

Well let's just say that wasn't really thought through because the second I stand up I feel my legs give out.

Stupid muscles

My head immediately starts acting up too before I fall down completely.

My eyes roll back but I feel Roman grab my arms, trying to keep me upright.

"Fucking hell Valentina" my dad curses under his breath before walking up to us very quickly and grabs me since Elijah is already out of the room by now.

My dad picks me up and puts me back on the bed next to Roman once more.

"Valentina, you can't walk. You're muscles haven't been used for a long time so you have to take things slow. It's going to take time, you can't just randomly stand up. If Roman wasn't there to catch you, you could've gotten hurt principessa." My dad says while stroking my hair.

"I just want to go home" I mutter while closing my eyes.

My head I swear to god I'm going to chop it off.

"I know you want to go home, but we have to wait for a few days okay. Just to make sure everything's alright" my dad tells me.

"I hate hospitals" I say

"I know, I'm sorry." My father tells me.

"I'll stay the night with you" Roman says

I open my eyes lightly and look at him.

"You don't have to, you're hurt. You can go home in a warm, nice, comfortable bed" I say while referring to his foot.

A hospital is horrible and I don't want Roman to stay at a horrible place, definitely not when he's hurt.

He shakes his head, "I'm going to stay, whether you like it or not." Roman says determined

I look at him unimpressed but close my eyes again since my head is literally killing me.

My dad goes to sit down again while grabbing his laptop for work while Roman just pulls me into his chest.

"Are you in pain?" I ask Ro

"No, it just hurt when my foot got broken. It doesn't hurt anymore nor do any other parts of my body" he tells me.

"You're lying" I say.

"Okay, maybe my ankle hurts a little but nothing else" he tells me.

Guilt starts to pull at me once more as I swallow down that lump in my throat.

"Babe, stop feeling guilty. You didn't do anything wrong, my love" Roman says while stroking my back up and down but making sure not to touch any pained parts.

"I hurt you" I mutter while hugging him tighter.

"No- you saved me" Roman corrects me, "now get some rest. Close your eyes, I'll still be here when you wake up" He tells me while pressing a small kiss on my sweet spot which takes everything inside me not to make a sound.

I do as he says and make myself more comfortable before I close my eyes.

Soon my surroundings fall away as sleep takes over.
