Gentle For Her (Editing*)

Chapter Twenty

Savannah

Driving to the bakery with Leo was, how do I explain this, weird very weird. He wouldn't stop looking at me, I mean that intense stare that would make me orgasm right there and then. I tried to start a conversation asking about him random questions but he kept giving me wrong answers. After a very long 45 minutes we arrived at the bakery and as always the workers were happy to see me, especially Nancy who takes care of things when I'm not here.

"Hey giirrrlll, is this the fiance" Nancy asked excitedly.

"Y-yes, he is my fiance" I said nervously. Nancy squealed very loud.

"Yayyy, I'm so happy for you, it's about damn time you forget about that Russian asshole and moved on." Nancy said and I gave her the look that Leo doesn't know.

"He doesn't know yet, shit sorry. Me and my big mouth, let me get back to work. Bye lovebirds" Nancy rushed out and disappeared.

"Uhhh let's go to the kitchen." I said and went in the direction of the kitchen after making Leo is following me. And judging by the look of his eyes, he had a lot of questions.

We got in the kitchen and Drew and Mike were there baking. They're my two bakers who came here fresh out of college. They sometimes switch places with the chefs from my restaurant.

"Put on an apron and let's get baking." I instructed Leo who complied.

I took out the ingredients for cupcakes and donuts.

Leo and I baked the whole day and it was fun expect when he dumped a whole bag of flour on me as revenge for this morning. He burst out laughing after that and his laughter was very melodic. And he gave me a new nickname, he now calls me 'Snowflake'.

"Ready to go snowflake" he asked with a chuckle.

"Grrrr, I'm gonna kill you for this." I growled. I gave him the boxes of cupcakes and donuts, I made enough for Sandy and Nora then made another batch for everyone else. I'm generous like that. Everyone left and I was closing up tonight. The bodyguards were already waiting for Leo and I, kinda forgot about them today. I took my key and when I pressed the unlock button, my fucking car blew up and sent us flying towards the wall. Whoever is behind this wants to see me carless.

"Savannah, are you okay" Leo asked me searching for any injuries.

My body hurt like hell and my ears were ringing. I tried to regain my composure until I saw his silhouette disappear into the darkness of the alley. Suddenly I felt the air being knocked out of my chest. Leo kept screaming my name but I knew I was about to get a blackout. I started seeing black dots and everything just went black.

Savannah just had a blackout in my arms again. I yelled for the guards to bring the car around, at least they're not hurt. We piled in and I made sure Savannah was comfortable. Harry drove way past the speed limit back to the house. We arrived in record time and I rushed Savannah to the infirmary. Nica quickly attended to her and did a through check up.

"Fratello, it's bad really bad but it will heal." Nica said in a worried tone.

"What's wrong with her" I asked nervously too scared to hear the answer.

"Well a few of her ribs are broken and her knee is fractured. Then regarding the blackout, she had another panic attack thus causing her to blackout. I think her body can't handle the panic attacks that's why she blackouts everytime she has one." Nica said looking at the clipboard in her hands.

"Damn it, this is all my fault. I shouldn't have allowed her to leave the house. I had a feeling something was going to happen but I thought it was just paranoia." I said running my hand through head.
