Cruel love

Chapter 8 Barbara

I woke up suddenly when Linda came with breakfast.
I must have slept while waiting for Enzo on the couch. He didn't come to the room last night if he had then I must have woke up in bed. I had refused to share a bed with him but he always carried me on it in my sleep.

I asked Linda " where is Enzo he didn't come to the bedroom last night?"
She didn't reply and bowed her head down. So I asked her "Is everything okay? Where is he?" She didn't reply and stayed like that I raised my voice just a little "Linda answer me is everything okay?"
Then I noticed tears falling from her cheek.

She replied in a quivering voice "Enzo Enzo got sh...shot yesterday. He is in first....first aid room doc...the doctor had operated him but....but he is still sub....subconscious." she started sobbing "they are not sure if he will make it or not."
I stared at her in shock and tried to make sense of her words then I ran towards the door. She covered my way. I told her to let me go but she didn't move so I pushed her aside and ran through the door.
She called for me and said you shouldn't get out of the room but I ignored her and tuned out her voice and ran everywhere in search of the first aid room. How will I find the first aid room in this huge mansion.
Then I saw Dante talking to a team of doctors downstairs. I ran towards him. When his eyes met mine he scrunched his eyebrows.

Dante walked towards me and grabbed my arm and took me to the side "what are you doing here? You were supposed to be in your room."
I replied panting "En...Enzo ho..how is he?"
His scowl relaxed at the mention of Enzo "he will be alright, a simple bullet can't take Enzo Russo down. He is the strongest man I know. We have been friends for years, trust me I have seen him survive much worse than this."
I nodded and asked "can I see him....please?"
He stared at me for a while and just when I thought he would refuse he nodded "come with me".
I followed him towards the first aid room.

When I entered the room and saw Enzo's huge body lying on the bed lifeless with an oxygen mask and drip injected to his hands tears filled in my eyes but I blinked them away.
Enzo was safe but he came back to save me he fought with the man so I could be safe. He put his life in danger because of me. He shouldn't be here I am the one who was supposed to be here. If it wasn't for me he must have been okay.
And at that thought tears started shedding down from my eyes.
He would have been okay if it weren't for me.

I sat beside him for a while and saw his handsome face. I raised my one hand and brushed his forehead with my fingertips and saw his perfect face for quite some time. Then pressed a kiss on his forehead and prayed to God to save his life because if something happened to him then I couldn't survive.

Dante didn't say anything and walked me to my room. Just when we reached the door. He said I could come and meet him once a day he would come to take me around 11 o'clock in the morning. I nodded at him.

It's been four days everyday Dante come to my room and took me to Enzo. I sit beside him see him and plant a kiss to his forehead and then Dante walks me back to my room.
But today the knock at my door is around 9:30 when I said come in Dante entered and I stared at the clock and then at him. What is he doing so early? Is Enzo okay?
He stopped my chain of thoughts and said and said "Enzo regained his consciousness." I ran towards him with a smile on my face and we walked the fastest we ever did towards the first aid room.

But I stopped halfway. Dante turned around to see me stop midway. He walked up to me and asked "what's the matter?"
I told him "Enzo hates me, he might not want to see me."
Dante said " you came to meet him every day when he was not in his senses now he has regained it, you must meet him."
I gave him an unsure look but started walking with him.

As we entered the first aid room. My eyes met Enzo's and tears started falling down my eyes.
