Hope's POV
I feel someone's breath.
I hear sound of birds.
Am I alive?
I open my eyes only to find Lorenzo staring at me.
"easy, easy, Love you are still hurt" I hear him say softly
"Why Am I alive Lorenzo? I don't want to be. I don't want this life" I cry
"Hey, shhh" He hugs me slowly
"I don't have no one. No one Lorenzo" I cry harder.
"You have me.I will never leave you. You will never be alone. You wont ever again be hurt by anyone including me" Lorenzo say's calmly.
"It was all my fault. I didn't protect you at dinner. I should have had guards around you, but I wanted you to feel better" He says crying
Is he crying because of me? What?
"No It's my fault. No one wants me alive" she say's sadly.
"Hope, I love you. We will stay in here for 60 days until we know for sure you are safe" He gives me a kiss
"What about your competition for your wife?"
"Hope, I already found my wife"
Can't believe his words. He really means it, He does love me.
"So you cancelled the competition?"
"Yes, I told everyone you are my wife"
In the evening I really craved a shower. I try to stand up but my legs didn't let me before I could fall Lorenzo catches me and I scream in pain. I am still sore from gunshot and it hurts a lot.
He helps me shower, get dressed and puts me in bed after. He comes in the bed with me and we lay and talk until the morning.
We fall asleep in a hug.
~ after a week~
He makes me breakfast every morning and brings it to my bed. He has been very caring for the past week showing me nothing but love. I couldn't be more happy and thankful for him caring me and my wounds.
