My Ex Mafia
Chapter 45

Nicole

"Everything's perfect, I love it" I said to him with a big smile on my face. His hands were wrapped around my waist as he rested his head on my neck, making me feel tingles with every breathe he took. "I knew you'd love it" he said as he gently turned my body to face him.
I wrapped my arm's around his neck as his were still around my waist. "You didn't have to do this you know?" I told him as we gently swayed our bodies in sync side to side. "I know, but I wanted to. I had to. I've been so distant with you and you don't deserve that. You deserve a lot more, you deserve the world"

I took one more glance at the backyard that had a 2 person table in the middle of it. The table had 2 candles on it as well as a rose and a cutlery set up. There were fairy lights lit up above table as well as a red carpet that led to the table.
It was romantic, it was perfect, it was like a fairytale. This was everything I'd ever wanted. The perfect date with the perfect guy underneath the perfect skies.

As I turned to look at him once more he had a gun aimed at my heart. "What are you doing?" I said as I took a few steps back. His eyes no longer looked at me with love but with the desire to kill. I couldn't recognise him anymore. I couldn't recognise the man that claimed to love me as he pointed his gun at me.
"Please don't do this... I-I...Love you..." I pleaded with him as he got closer towards me with his gun. "If you loved me, you wouldn't have done what you did." He said in a harsh tone not breaking eye contact with me.

"Let's face it. We both knew you'd die by me" he said finally closing the gap between us with his gun on my chest. "you don't have to do this Sylvester." I cried out in fear. He wouldn't actually kill me would he?

"I have to. The mafia comes first"

Bang

I jumped up from the dream, which made me cry out in pain. I was in a hospital bed with a few body parts wrapped up in bandage, I felt out of place, like I wasn't really there, but I was. The last thing I remember was the explosion. I called out to Sylvester but it was too late.
One moment my skin felt like it was being burnt off of my body, the next moments all I could feel was a large amount of pain traveling through my body, but that was all I could remember from that day.

"It's okay Nikky, you're okay it was just a dream" I heard a familiar voice say as they approached. It was Rico. He stood up from the side chair and called a nurse before coming to stand by me. He pulled out his phone and started to dial someone's number. "She's awake Boss " he said before dropping the phone and putting it back into his pocket.
It was Sylvester. "Sylvester" I said slowly in pain. It felt like my throat was on fire with every word that I spoke. "He's on his way now Nikky don't worry..." Rico said softly as he gently held onto my hand.

"He shot me...it felt so real... Sully shot me" I teared up as my throat got worse as well as the thought of Sylvester killing me. It felt so real, too real for my liking. Which made me wonder, if he had too, would he kill me?

"He would never hurt you Nicole you should know that by now. He'd do anything to keep you safe, it was just a dream" Rico said as he gently squeezed my hand and smiled at me. Rico was the best person to me. He was gentle and always reassured me whenever I felt out of it. He was like the older brother I never had which made trusting him easy.
I started to lose my train of thought as loud shouting noises began to appear outside the door. I got scared until he stepped into the room and all my fear went away. It was him, it was Sylvester. I felt a tear run down my cheek as I let out a sigh that I didn't know I was holding in for so long.

"Rico please give us a minute alone." He said in a neutral tone as he stood right by the hospital bed next to me. "Yes boss" Rico said leaving me alone with Sylvester. "How are you feeling?" He said as he gently wiped away the runaway tear that rolled down my cheek.
"I feel like I've just been blown across a room filled with fire" I said sarcastically with a fake grin on my face which made him sigh as he sat down taking my hand in his. "I'm okay Sylvester, I'm alive."
