It has been three days since I last saw Enzo and Dame. I have been doing almost 19-hour shifts at the hospital and crash when I get home. And by crash I mean I just lay in bed and stare up at my ceiling until another shift starts. I knew what I was doing wasn't healthy but I needed the shifts to get out of my head.
Becca has barely been home and when she is it is just to grab something and then leave again. I miss my girl. I miss our nights when we would talk for hours and drink wine as we ate pizza while we watch some cheesy romance she likes so much.
"Doctor Alverez!" A nurse yells as I walk by.
I rush over to where she had yelled from only to see a patient bleeding out. Not just any patient but Romeo fucking Ricci.
"Romeo?" I ask rushing over to help.
"Hey Lilith, funny seeing you here," He says groaning.
As I look over the wound I see he was shot.
"Fucking tell me my sunflower was not with you when this happened or so help me god I will fucking shoot you again," I growl my professionalism of being a doctor being thrown out the women thinking about my girl being hurt.
"She was not with me. She was at my house. I had to go out to do something," He says.
I nod as I pull out the bullet placing it to the side. I grab some stitching equipment and begin to stitch him up after making sure the bullet didn't hit anywhere that could cause more damage.
"Doctor, Mr.Ricci is here to see his brother." A nurse informs.
"Allow him in. I just finished up here. I just have to keep an eye on his vitals for the next 24 hours," I say taking off my gloves and throwing them out.
Just as I was about to walk out I bumped into someone. But before I could say anything I stopped in my tracks.
"Damien," I say in a whisper.
"Hello, baby girl." He says smirking.
"Doctor Alverez!" Another nurse yells before we could say anything else to each other.
"That's my cue," I say giving a small smile as I walk off.

I watch as my girl rushes off to see what has happened. Only when she is completely out of my sight do I head into my brother's hospital room. He looks up from his phone giving me a smile before putting it down.
"You girl sure does know how to scare the shit out of someone," He says making me chuckle.
"What happened?" I ask
"With what your girl or my leg?" He asks smirking.
"Your leg dumbass," I say smacking the back of his head.
"Hey, I will tell Doctor Alverez you are in here abusing her patient!" He says pushing me away.
I roll my eyes as I take a seat crossing my arms over my chest. I hear him sigh as he knows we have to get serious.
"We were set up. Fucking Russian bastard had ambushed us," He says looking pissed.
"Fuck," I mutter
"Yeah, fuck is exactly what we are seeing as even the Spanish mafia is on their side," He says
I look at him shocked. The Spanish Mafia. The strongest mafia out there. We are even a rank below them.
"Why would the Spanish work with them? It makes no sense." I ask
"Arranged marriage between their only granddaughter and the Russian heir," He says
Before I could say anything else I heard someone yelling outside. Not just anyone but my girl. I get up opening the door before walking over to where all the ruckus was coming from.
"¡No puedes hacer eso! ¡Esta es mi vida!" She yells at an old couple in Spanish. (You can not do that! This is my life)
"Esto es lo que tu madre hubiera querido. Esta no es la vida que ella hubiera elegido para ti," The elderly women says. (This is what your mother would have wanted. This is not the life she would have chosen for you)
I watched my baby girl sucks in a breath clenching her fist.
"No, ya no puedes usar eso en mi contra. No soy la misma niña que solías manipular con esa mierda. Así que te voy a pedir una última vez que abandones mi maldito hospital antes de llamar a seguridad." She says coldly pointing towards the exit. (No, you do not get to use that against me anymore. I am not the same little girl you used to manipulate with that bullshit. So I am gonna ask you one last time to leave my fucking hospital before I call security.)
I smile proud. But I didn't know who these two people were and why they were talking about her mother. Did they know her? Are they her family?
I take out my phone and text Enzo about what I had just witnessed. He just text me back that we would talk later because he was in a meeting. I sigh and head back into my brothers room.
