Getting Away With Murder: A Mafia Story

19| The Warning Of Trauma

⚠️ WARNING: DEATH AND SADNESS ⚠️
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Me and Christian were with my brothers, while in a meeting. Our men were with us, as we were discussing about politics. "We have already lost millions, we need help from other mafias". A man explained. "You mean to secure the mafias together, but that could cost us everything". I frowned.

Calvin walked in, as we looked at him. "Calvin I asked for you hours ago". Christian rasped quietly. "I thought we were meeting in the main hall". Calvin said softly. "Many could die because of this". The man said to Christian.

"Haven't we just ordered our men to agree with the mafias, we'll hear their arrival soon". The man replied. "We'll send our men immediately". Christian explained, the man leaned forward. "My lord, I ask you-". Christian punched his hand on the table, as the man flinched back. I jumped lightly and looked at my brothers.

"I will not have the others think that we are weak, you have your orders, now go". Christian rasped, as the man bowed his head at us. They all left, as Christian hummed lightly. "You mustn't strain yourself". I said softly, while Christian smiled.

"Camilla, I am strong, the Valentino's are strong, I won't waste any opportunity to protect you". He explained, while I smiled lightly. Time passed, as Christian was in bed. I held his hand, while I was stood up.

"Camilla, come to me, they may not be much time, come lay beside me". Christian whispered, as I looked down. "I don't understand, you were doing so much better?". I was crying.

"The doctors say it can happen at the end". He said softly. "The end, don't say that". I shook my head. "Camilla, you've done more than enough, fought so hard for me". He shook his head.

"We should call for Diana". I nodded. "No, all that's left now is to enjoy my final hours in peace, alone with you". Christian whispered, as I smiled softly at him. I laid down with him, while his arms wrapped around me.

Time passed, as Christian gasped lightly. I sat up and looked at him. "Is the pain terrible?". I said sadly, while he hummed. "Whisper me our future". He said to me, while I looked down. "I can't bare to think about a future anymore, not without you". I shook my head. "Then keep me in it". He whispered.

"I wanted us to have children". I was crying. "Are they playing outside, don't you hear them?". He looked up, as I titled my head to the side. "Christian". I was crying.

He turned his head to the side, as I saw blood rushing down from his ears. "No". I said softly. "No, no Christian don't leave me, not yet, come back to me, no". I shouted, as my brothers walked in. I gasped and got off the bed.

"He's gone". My voice broke, while tears came down my face. "There's always a price, this is the healer". Ace explained. I saw a man, while he looked at me. "What do you mean a price?". I frowned. "A price of somebody else's life". The healer explained.

"If the price is my life, I will give it, do anything, but bring him back". I shouted, as Ace hugged me tight. "Are you sure?". The man asked, as I nodded. "Yes, yes do it now". I grabbed onto Ace, while my brothers looked at Christian.

The healer held his hands on Christian, after a while, he stepped off and looked at us. He went over to the other side of the room. Christian gasped loudly, as I ran to him. "Christian". I shouted. "Oh my god, you're alive". I smiled. "Camilla". Christian whispered.

The healer fell to the ground, while my brothers turned around. Ace shrugged, while he looked back at me. Time passed, as we saw a follower. "My lord, may I speak with you?". He asked Ace, as he nodded.
