My Mafia Savior

chapter 16

Ava's Pov:

Yesterday they were busy after matteo left with the boys Rora went to college and Bella went to finish some work and I was extremely bored yet tired so I slept in since I'm not allowed to move on my own.

Today's no different than the day before they're all still busy but Matteo is working from his office downstairs I guess I won't be able to go my physiotherapist

Knock knock

"come in" I shouted

"Sir matteo told me to help you get dressed for your session" a maid said softly

Spoke too early I guess

After I got ready matteo came in after he knocked without waiting for my response so much for a gentleman I see.

"ready?" he asked while handing me my phone annoyed "here's your phone I've had it since the incident it won't stop ringing and this mark won't stop calling"

"t-thanks"

"come on we don't want to be late we don't have all day"

He came closer to me and I got nervous, suddenly I was lifted bridal style into his muscular chest

I squealed "back to point zero I guess"

"what"

"how many times do I have to remind you that you bought me a wheelchair for a reason"

"don't act like you're enjoying this "he shot me one of his playful smirks

That made me blush so hard that I turned around so he won't see me "cat got your tongue I see" he smirked AGAINNNN.

"no" I whispered.

I felt his chest vibrating, wait, is he laughing!! It's the first time I see him laughing. Good cause he looks cute laughing.

Mmm he smells so good.

"thanks"

"huh?" I was confused as to why was he thanking me.

"you're thinking out loud"

OMG I can't believe he just heard me say he smells good. Kill me now.

He put me in the passenger and put my seat belt on.

"you know I can put it myself"

"don't you ever say thank you "he rolled his eyes

"thank you of course, I just hate feeling like I'm helpless and you have to babysit me like that"

He gave me a look I couldn't decipher then closed the door without answering me and went in the driver's seat
he took a deep breath "look first of all you're not helpless okay, second of all I don't babysit anyone and ava you should believe that your stronger that all of us combined, I don't know how it feels to live the lifestyle you lived but what I do know is that I wouldn't be able to tolerate it, believe me I would've killed him long time ago" I didn't even know that I was crying until he reached to wipe my tears and as usual I flinched.

"sorry, it's a habit "he clenched his jaw.

"yeah well you're a mafia leader"

"what?"

"you said you would've killed him well I'm not you"

The rest of the car ride was silent

He stopped the car once we reached the hospital and helped me out of course you know how and one of the guards held the 'empty' wheelchair. We didn't wait long all thanks to matteo glaring at the receptionist the whole 5 minutes waiting

I thought he would leave me alone inside which to be honest scared me well, I'm still not that good actually not good at all with new people but to my surprise he entered with me and even helped me but not to mention the glares and clenched jaw whenever I hiss or whimper in pain let's say the doctor was shaking in fear poor woman thought he would actually kill her if she hurt me again heads up Mr mafia it's not her it's the effect of my friendly father and sore limbs.

After 2 hours of glares and pain I'm done and we are back on the road

I took out my phone and took a deep breath and called Rose

It didn't even ring once before she answered.

"helloooo?" I started

"AVAA WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?" she screamed "I was so worried about you" she started crying

"don't worry boo I'm fine it's a long story so ummm wait a minute..." I looked at matteo "is it okay if rose comes over"

"it's your house now" he answered unbothered while being focused on the road.

"hey yeah rose can you come today to Matteo's house in an hour"

"Matteo's house, why?"

"I'll explain everything when you arrive I can't over the phone"

"okay love"

After I hung up the phone, I notices matteo is a bit nervous and his adams apple is moving up and down as he swallows.

"so ava there is this annual mafia ball thing in a month that I have to attend but I need a date would you like to accompany me?"

I stared at him in shock "I'm sorry but I'll have to decline your offer no offense though"

"why?" he asked as he clenched his jaw very hard.

"I'm not healed yet"

"in a month you'll be fully healed, now tell me the real reason" he shot back

"I don't like crowded places and I don't even have a dress nor can I afford one"

He didn't answer me guess he hates me right now I think he have never been rejected before

Even though he is not too fond of me right now he helped me to the living room where I found rose and mark already waiting for me but their smile disappeared once they saw my state

"VEEEEE, what the fuck happened??" mark shouted as rose stood frozen

"hey guys, I'm fine don't worry" I smiled softly at them

"he did this to you?" rose whispered sadly and I knew exactly who is she talking about

I nodded softly as matteo put me down on the couch leaving us alone.

"tell me everything now" rose demanded

So I began to tell her everything that happened that night from the abuse to almost being raped and how I hit him them escaped for my dear life and ended here where matteo and everyone is helping me get better.

As I finished she was full on crying and mark was calming her.

"I feel so guilty that I wasn't there for you that night I'm so sorry ava"

"it's okay boo there was nothing you could've done anyway and I'm getting better bit by bit everyday" I reassured her

"still I should have been there, ava you're really strong" she said sniffling

"so what's the deal with you and Matteo?" Marks asks winking

"wha-what are you talking about" I answered feeling heat creeping up my cheeks "there's nothing happening"

Just as he was about to reply

"Ava it's time for your medicine and how many times did I tell you to rest your fucking legs" Yup that's Matteo confirming Mark's accusation

"umm sorry I will go up now"

"nope I don't trust you with your legs I'm going to take you" he said and guess what he lifted me up and walked towards the stair for the umpteenth time yaaay note the sarcasm!
