My Winter

♤♡19◇♧

Nicolas' pov:

My blood ran cold as I was her lay on the hospital bed. Her lip had dried up blood and red marks on her necks. Hickey's.

Bruno show me the CCTV. It only showed outside the room, so all we saw was who entered and exited. I clenched my fist to contain my anger when I saw who walked out.

Lucien. As he stepped out of the room, he looked at camera and smiled. He did this to her. I am going to make his sorry ass pay.

The doctor is saying she probably had a panic attack. She'll wake up soon. And I'll be here, at her side, when she does.

"I'm sorry boss." Bruno was angry too. More so at himself though. "I monitored everyone who came and go. I don't know how he got in without me knowing." He looked down in shame.

"I am upset this happened to her, but I'm not blaming you." I assured him. "He slips by me too. He'll pay for this."

Beep. Beep. Beep. Went the machine.
Ugh! I hate that sound. I want to destroy it.

She stirred, letting me know she was waking up.
I quickly stood up and rushed towards her.

"Winter? Principessa?" I called her, waiting for those beautiful unique eyes to open.

Slowly, they did open. Revealing two very pale eyes. "Nic? What happened?" She tried to lean up, but I gently pushed her back down.

"I was hoping you can tell me." I sat at the little space at the edge of her bed, grasping her hand.

She winced and brought her free hand up to her head. "Ugh. My head hurts." She groaned.

"I'll get the doctor." Bruno spoke, exiting the room.

"Does anything else hurt?" She shook her head.

Just as soon Bruno left, he returned with the Dr. May by his side.

"Hello Winter. How are you feeling?" She asked, taking her mini flashlight out to examine Winter's pupils.

"I have a headache."

"Probably as a result from passing out. I'll get you some meds for that. Can you tell me what happened?" The doctor asked, putting her flashlight away.

I watched Winter closely as I saw realization come across her eyes. Panic reached them as she looked at me. "I had a panic attack. Nic... I..."

"I'll be back with those meds." The doctor left, giving us some privacy.

I cupped Winter's cheek in effort to sooth her. "It's okay. I'm right here."

"It was Lucien, Nic." She said.

"I know. I saw him leave on the CCTV." I gulped and put my head back. I can't believe I'm about to ask this. "Did hurt you?"

She shook her head. "He just... he said to tell you he said hi and give you a kiss for him." She look like she had something else to say, but she looked like she was gonna be sick.

"You won't have to tell me right now, okay?" I rubbed my thumb over her hand, comforting her. I wanted her to better than where she is now, before she felt like she needed to tell me. Seeing her like this... crushes me.

"He said I'll be back in his arms and he'll finish what he started." Tears escaped her eyes. She was scared.

I clenched my jaw. God I can't wait to kill him. "Winter, I will do whatever it takes to make sure you're safe. No body count is to high and no amount of money is too much. This isn't over till his life is in my hands. And I will make sure to end him. I will not let him touch you again. I promise." I leaned down and placed a kiss on her temple.
