The Mafia Wants Me

Chapter 16

Sarah POV

he repeats himself and I say i rolling my eyes "i'm fine thanks" about to start running but he reached for my hand and I quickly moved it away. He then leaning towards me  and said "you sure darling?" ugh i'm so tired of people calling names like "oh my love "and "sweetie" ugh god what is wrong with these men. 

Snapping out of my thoughts i look at him and take a deep breath. "yes i'm fine " I say getting down off the treadmill. He tries to hand me his towel but I grab my own towel,  wipe my sweat off and hand it to him. Smiling i turn around wiping my ponytail hitting his face lightly  and walking upstairs leaving. 

Brayden POV

when I saw Sarah come downstairs I was surprised she was wearing like a workout outfit because she didn't need to. She looked skinny and gorgeous  as always but I didn't ask her to put her confidence down. 

I left to finish business in my office when I forgot my phone. I go to the kitchen  to grab it and Sarah was gone somewhere and I found my phone next to the sink. Grabbing it I was about to leave when I saw Sarah's plate. That's strange she was so hungry this morning and she barely ate  her breakfast. 

I head into my office and start a meeting that lasted about a while.  When it was done and everyone left I checked on the security cameras from my computer. I checked the workout room cameras and saw sarah working out on the treadmill. I couldn't believe it she was there for like 2 hours running. 

Closing my computer it sit back and interlock my hands trying to understand why. would she? no. I decide to go ask her about so i get up heading towards the gym.   

I am walking out the hall and I see Sarah come out of the workout room. She looked exhausted and was breathing heavy. "hey Sarah are you all right?" i ask gently touching her forearms looking her dead in the eyes. 

"um ya i'm fine...I'm just a little dizzy right now" she said as she stumbled and closed her eyes. "are you sure?" I ask again but she looked down and tried to walk bumping into the side table with flowers on them. 

Sarah POV

I felt like I was gonna faint. Everything was dizzy and I was so hot. I could barely stand and brayden said something but it was all muffled and I could hear a loud ringing in my ear.  then everything went black and i felt myself fall to the ground with brayden wrapping his hands around me. 

Brayden POV

She suddenly clutched my forearm and fell into me. I kneel catching her before she hit the ground and grabbing her chin facing me as it jerked down "SARAH! Someone  help !" I yell to my bodyguards as I hold her head close to my chest. 

-=-=-=-=-

I picked her up and put her placed in one of our hospital beds. A doctor came running in checking her vitals and another bodyguard got some ice and a cold rag for her head. After about 10 mins She woke up slowly opening her eyes and laid here head back. "what happened" she asked sleepy. 

"Here drink this" I say sticking a plastic straw in her mouth with a cold glass of water. She drank it and I said "well you um passed out from a heat stroke. I mean you were way overworked.What were you even thinking about running that hard and for that long?" I asked trying to sound calm but it came out more mad. 

"I uh..." she whispered looking down taking a deep breath. I could see tears in her eyes through her hair but she wouldn't really let me see that. 

"you what? Sarah i want an answer now I know you barely ate your breakfast" I said sternly. 

she took a deep breath again and whispered sso sftly I could barely hear her "I.. wanted to loose weight... I'm not happy with my body" she looked down and picked at her fingernails. I put my hand over them making her stop picking and she looked up at me. 

A tear fell from her eye "Sarah you are so beautiful and skinny. Your body is perfect and I don't wanna hear you say those words to yourself ever again" I said as I saw another tear falling. "understood?" I demanded. 

she only nodded her head and leaned in giving me a hug crying. I rubbed her back rocking slowly back and forth.
