Mobster (BWWM)

Chapter 42

Marco (in coma)

Where the fuck was I? Where was my gun? Where were Kelly, Luca, Lorenzo, Salvatore, and the rest of my men? I tried to move but couldn't move. 

I tried to open my eyes but I couldn't open them. My eyelids felt swollen and heavy.

I felt warm hands caressing my head and forehead.

"Wake up, Marco. Please open your eyes, my baby boy." 

My mother's soft voice echoed throughout the empty room. 

"Mother, is that really you?" I asked, uncertainly. 

"Yes, my baby boy, It is me." She answered me.

"Open your eyes, Marco." She said softly.

"I am trying, Mother but I can't," I told her.

"Don't say that you can't. You can open them if you put your mind to doing it."

"I'm trying, mother but I just can't," I said to her while I felt her hands touching my sweaty forehead.

"You can and you will. You need to open them if you need to go back to Kelly and Luca."

"Mother, I don't want to go back. I want to stay here with you. I missed you." 

"I missed you, too, my boy but it's not time. Kelly loves and misses you. She's a very beautiful person. You have a lovely life to live with her." 

"She is." I agreed with her.

Kelly was a very beautiful woman. Both inside and out.

"I love you, Mother." 

"I love you, my baby boy. Now, open your eyes and get back to your life that awaits you." 

I could feel her moving away from my bedside. 

"Mother, wait!" I yelled. "Please don't leave me. I feel so alone here."

"You'll be fine, Marco. I'm always watching over you and Luca. You're a very strong person. That's why Giuseppe made you his successor before he died and not given it to that monster Leonardo. Goodbye, my baby boy. I love you always." 

She kissed my forehead and caressed my head one last time. "I'm always with you and Luca. Even when neither one of you don't feel my presence, I'm always there. Both of you are the only love of my life." 

"Mother," I called but she didn't answer me.

"Mother, I need you." I didn't feel her presence anymore and I knew that she was gone.

Before I knew it, I had fallen asleep again.

Kelly

I quickly got out of bed and ran to Marco's room. I had a horrible dream that he had died. My head was spinning and my heart was racing. 

The tears ran down my cheeks as I pushed open the door to the bedroom that he was in. 

He was still lying there in a coma. I let out a heavy sigh and went to sit at his bedside.

I held his hand in mine and gently stroked it. His fingers were so long and the palm of his hands were very rough. 

They weren't soft at all. 

We always joked about them. He would often say he was afraid that his rough hands would damage my soft delicate skin whenever he was caressing it. 

I smiled at the memory.

I continued to stroke his hand when suddenly, I felt his fingers moving.

At first, I thought that I was imagining it, or my mind was playing tricks on me.

No, I wasn't imagining it. His fingers moved again.

My eyes opened wide and I looked at him. He stared back at me with those captivating hazel eyes and I just wanted to hug and kiss him but I couldn't move. I was stunned and happy at the same time. 

"Oh, my god! Marco, you're awake." I squealed and smiled at him.

He lay there looking at me as tears welled in my eyes.

"Marco, I'm going to get the doctor and Luca. I'll be back, baby."

I rushed out of the bedroom to go and tell Dr. Ramos, Luca, and Anna the happy news. 

The love of my life was back. 

This was the happiest that I felt in months.

Thanks for the support, lovely people. I thought that I had updated this chapter already. It was when someone reached out to me and asked if I was still going to continue with the story, I realized that I hadn't updated for over a month. I haven't been doing much typing at work because I got bitten by an insect and my right hand and fingers were swollen. Hence, I wasn't able to update earlier either. I had a friend who was in a car accident and was unconscious for a while. When he woke up, he told us that he only remembered seeing and talking to his dead mother. I still couldn't believe it but I didn't doubt him. Anyways, peace and be safe out there. ✌️✌️
