Vincenzo kissed my forehead and walked out of the room after he made sure that we both ate our dinner.

"Just you and me again." Santino said as he looked at me

"You forgot about Jax." I said as I pointed my index finger at little Jax

"Yeah, sorry, dude." Santino said as he chuckled and looked at my dog

I laid down and tucked myself in a blanked. Jax was sleeping on top of me. He made a couple of cute puppy noises until he fell asleep.

"Will you hold my hand?" I asked as I looked at Santino

"Of course I will hold your hand, sweetheart." Santino said as he took my hand in his

We held each other's hands and it was so good to feel Santino's warm hand. He was so sweet.

He is alive and he is next to me. And I remembered how I felt when I thought that he was dead. I turned my head to the side and I looked at him.

He was giving me a little, concerned smile. He gently squeezed my hand a couple of times.

"Do you want to talk about something?" he asked as he practically knew what I was thinking about

He is my person after all.

"You know...when I saw that they shot you I thought that you were dead. It broke my heart." I said as I wiped away my tears with other hand

"But I'm alive, darling. I would never die and leave you alone. It's the most dumbest thing I could ever do. And I'm not dumb." Santino said and I smiled

"I tried to fight them. I really tried, but I couldn't, because they were too big." I said as I closed my eyes

I don't want to remember them, never again.

"I know, baby. But you tried and I'm really proud of you." Santino said as he squeezed my hand gently

"When I saw that Xander was with them I was shocked. I used to think that he was my friend..." I said quietly, I couldn't say it loudly

"He was a sick fuck. You couldn't have known that he was trying to hurt you." he said as he looked at me with these kind eyes of his

"His dad Viktor wanted me to tell him what you were planning. He said that if I tell him, he will maybe leave me alone." I said as I bit my lower lip

"But you didn't know what to say, right?" Santino asked as he sounded worried

"I didn't, but even if I would have known...I wouldn't have told him anything." I said as my voice cracked

"Baby, you can tell and do everything if your life is on the line. Please remember that." he said as he squeezed my hand again

"Please look at me." he said and I turned my head to face him

"Say it. If my life is on the line I can tell and do everything." Santino said as he looked at me, he seemed concerned

"If my life is on the line I can tell and do everything." I said quietly
