Blood Or Love (COMPLETED)

Chapter 15

Anastasia's POV

After having our dinner we went to a bar. Honestly I was happy that he was spending his time with me. Though he looked dishevelled and I tried to ask him what's wrong a million times, he just didn't answer. So maybe getting him drunk can make him spill the beans.

We went to a nearby club where all types of sweats and alcohol roamed in the air. "Ana are you sure?" He asked as he walked in. He's not the type of person to walk into such a bar where the whole crowd sticks to each other's skin.

I nodded and walked him towards the bar. First we ordered a drink of less alcohol content so we could enjoy the whole night to ourselves. Little did I know that he had already booked a room for us in the hotel that is just beside the bar. "Ana, just know that I really love you a lot. And whatever I'm going to do or whatever I do is for our betterment." He whispered, pecking my forehead. I didn't understand a single word of what he said but nodded anyway.

I forced him to the dance floor and we actually danced probably for the first time in such a place. Soon he was drunk as if it's no tomorrow but luckily I had only one drink that was totally non-alcoholic.

We walked out of the bar and his whole weight was on me. He couldn't even walk properly. There were a few men from the club who followed us but I didn't pay any heed to them until the eagle tattoo on their hand caught my attention.

They walked towards us, mostly me and started flirting with me with their hands instead of their mouths. I tried to shoo them away but Lori's weight on me was keeping me away. I made my way to our hotel but one man came directly in front of me and pressed my chest. I could hear the laughter from behind but I couldn't do anything. Not even a single thing.

I saw Lori slowly stand on his legs without wobbling as he did until a few seconds and started fighting with the four of them. He took out a shiny black gun from his pants. "Born killers. Die to you all. How dare you lay your filthy hands on my woman!?" His voice boomed and four shots were heard. He killed all of them straight at their heads. His aim is so perfect. The mafia king...

To be honest, at this point, I was scared of him. Lorenzo Giovanni is the Mafia king for this reason. His anger and his power. And now I'm scared of both. Anger too and power too.

I quickly rushed to our room that he booked for tonight and before I could close the door, he walked in. "Atleast talk to me, love." He begged me, his hand turning my face towards him. I slowly opened my eyes and looked at him. Glossy. "Ana I'm sorry. I really don't know what happened." He whispered and immediately brought his face closer to me.

He tenderly kissed my one lip and I felt like this kiss was more of an apology than the usual passionate one. I felt something wet touch my cheek. When we broke the kiss, I saw that he was crying. "Lori..." I whispered sitting up and hugging him tightly. "Ana, please help me. I don't want to be such a man for my woman. I don't want to be like this. But when I see something wrong happening, I don't know what takes over me and all I can see is red." He explained everything with his face buried in my hair. I rubbed my hand on his back and soothed him as much as I could.

"Let's sleep Lori." I asked as he shook his head. We laid down on the bed and I stroked my hand on his hair until he fell asleep. Not before pecking me goodnight on my forehead.

I woke up to some sounds. I opened my eyes and looked at where the voice was coming from. "Don't leave me Ana. I don't want to lose you again. Please stay. Don't go. Ana. Please I promise I won't hurt anyone anymore. I'll do just as you say. Please don't leave me Ana. I want you by my side. I can't afford to leave you. I love you Ana please stay. You don't know how much I love you. How painful it was for me to stay away from you for six years. I love you so much. I can't lose you. Please help me Ana." I heard his chanting of me not leaving him and saw him sweating profusely.
