The mobster lover (English version)

Twenty two

Fabrizio narrating:

As soon as I finish removing the sheets from the bed, those same sheets impregnated with the smell of our sex, putting it in the laundry basket, I leave the room, walking down the huge hallway to the stairs. But when I was about to go downstairs, I see Perla's body lying at the bottom of the stairs and I run down after her, what happened to Perla? As soon as I hold her unconscious body, I scream for my men.

- Call a fucking ambulance!- I shout to my men.

They run off to call the ambulance, but you know what, I'm not going to fucking wait. I lift the unconscious body and take her to my car, one of my men comes running to open the car door and I put Perla's body on the back seat.

I close the door and go to the driver's side, opening the door and then getting in.

I drove like crazy to the best clinic in Milan, she can't die, I won't let that happen, I accelerate more and finally I'm in front of the hospital door and stop the car abruptly, almost running over other people, but I don't give a damn for this.
I get out of the car and open the back door taking Perla out and carrying her into the clinic and I see the nurses coming with the stretcher, I put her body on top of her and then she is taken to the operating room, I follow. I was about to enter the room, I'm stopped by a nurse, what the fuck does this woman want with me?

- You can't go into the operating room.- The girl dressed in blue speaks and I feel like pulling out my gun and shooting him straight in the head, but I'm in a hospital and it's going to get a lot of attention, for it controls me.

- Okay, I'll wait here.- I assure you, going to sit on one of the stools you have here.

Perla has been in this fucking room for half an hour and no word from her, my desire is to break down the door and simply enter.

- How is Perla?- I hear the voice of Yani, my brother-in-law and I turn to face him and he has a look of pure concern, just like me.

- I don't know, no one from this damn hospital gave me any answers about your condition.- I say kicking the chair where I was just sitting and I don't care about the looks of the others.

- If you love Perla, why did you marry Chiara? - This question catches me off guard.

- Because when you're born into the fucking mafia, you don't have the right to choose.- I growl and before he can answer anything, the doctor appears.

- Miss Perla Greco's relatives? - Call and we'll go to him.

- I'm the brother.- Yani says.

- And you?- He looks at me waiting for an answer from me.

- I'm the brother-in-law.- I reply scratching my head.

- Well, Miss Greco suffered an internal hemorrhage as a result of the accident, and had to undergo surgery as soon as she arrived, but now everything is fine with her, if you want you can see her, she is sleeping in her room.- He speaks and people nodded.

- If you want, you can go first.- Yani says and I nod, I walk down the long corridor until I find her room, and as soon as I enter, I see the love of my life there, lying on this bed and sedated, it makes my heart squeeze. I approach the bed and hold his hands.

- My love?- I call her, but I know I won't be reciprocated now.

- I just wanted to say that seeing you in this bed gives my heart a squeeze and that when I'm by your side, there's a mixture of feelings inside me.- I say caressing her hands.

- Valentina.- Perla calls, who will this Valentina be? Maybe she's just delusional and nothing more.

I decide to sit in the armchair and wait for it to wake up.
I feel nudges and I wake up and see Yani.

- I think you better go home, I'll stay.- He says and I nod getting up from the chair, but before leaving the room, I walk to the bed and give Perla a kiss on the forehead.

Then I leave the room, and when I was outside, I take my cell phone and call Dante and ask him to investigate what happened to Perla, I won't rest until I get the damn thing who did this to the my wife, I don't know what my life would be like if I lost Perla, I refuse to imagine that.
