The Devil's Angel (Angels of the Underworld: Book One) (✔️)

Chapter Thirty (Edited)

(Juliet's POV)

I carefully pulled the IV out of my arm and pressed down to stop the bleeding before slowly getting up. I made my way to the door and opened it quietly. I wiped my sweaty palms on my pants.Gio had one of the guys run home and grab me some clothes because I hated the hospital gown so now I wore leggings and a t-shirt.

I couldn't see any of the guys so I was in the clear. I quickly ran down the hall to the staircase and ran downstairs.

"Can I help you?" A woman asked as I wandered the halls.

"I-I am looking for my h-husband. Vincenzo Bianchi."

Her eyes raked over me from head to toe. "Visiting hours are over."

I stepped closer to her and got in her face a bit. "Do you know who my husband is?"

She began to sweat. "Y-Yes."

"Then you know what he is capable of so I'd hate to tell him that you were rude to me."

"But I wasn't-"

"Who do you think he'll believe? His wife or some random nurse?"

"He i-is in room 216."

"Thank you."

I pushed past her and made my way to his room. I had to calm myself down before I opened the door and went inside.

I walked in and quietly closed the door behind me. I turned around and gasped. I placed my hand over my mouth as tears streamed down my face.

My big strong protector looked so broken. He had IVs sticking out of him and a few other tubes. His head was wrapped with white bandages and he had a big bruise across the right side of his face.

I walked over to his side and sat down in the chair. I grabbed his big hand in my small one and kissed the back of it. I'd never seen him so broken.

"Hey, Marito." I whispered as I brushed my fingers along his right cheek.

"I need you to wake up for me, okay? I woke up two days ago and I miss you. Some of the guys haven't even left the hospital. They are looking out for me and watching over you but it's not the same. They don't say much. They just sit in silence. I can tell that Phoenix is really upset and feels guilty. He feels like he failed you. Knox is upset that Phoenix is upset and he misses you too. Gio found Adrianna and she's doing great. The baby is doing great. He let her come visit yesterday but I didn't speak to her or anyone else. I only spoke to them when I woke up. Now I only want to talk to you. I want to hear your voice. I want to see that smile and smirk that you give only to me. I want you to kiss me and hold me. I want..." I trailed off as I began to sob.

"I want things to be normal, our kind of normal though. I don't want a white picket fence or a nine to five job or anything like that. I want us to be in our house with Zeus and Stella. I want to go to Carlo's and then to the bakery. I want to go to Isabella's for new books even though I know you think I don't need anymore. I want to have little Vince and Juliets running around the house making messes and driving us crazy. I can't have any of that if you die so you can't die.

I know you don't like me barking orders at you but you better listen to this one. I want you to open your eyes and be perfect. I want my mean, grouchy, arrogant, cocky, loving, caring, merciless, badass, no-f*cks-given husband back. We still have so much to do and so many places to go. You can't leave me here on my own." I cried, leaning over to press a gentle kiss to his forehead

"But if you can't do it, if you can't come back to me, then that's okay too. I will let you go...." I choked up as the next words left my mouth. "But I will be right behind you. I will not spend one day or one hour on this earth if you aren't by my side kicking ass. A life without you is not a life worth living. You have to wake up. You can't let Giuseppe's sacrifice be for nothing. Please, I'm begging you. Wake up. For me."

It was then that I heard heavy feet coming our way fast. I looked over my shoulder just in time to see the door open.

Knox, Phoenix, and the others came rushing inside.

"G**damn it." Knox muttered. "Don't do that again. We have been looking for you. We thought you might've went to jump off the roof."

I wiped my eyes and looked back at Vince.

"Let's go back to your room now." Phoenix said placing a hand on my shoulder but I didn't move.

"Juliet," Gio said in a warning tone of voice. I ignored him. "I f*cking swear. If you do not get your pretty little ass up and come with us back to your room I will throw your ass over my shoulder and carry you up."

I looked over my shoulder and glared at him. "Touch me and I'll stab you."

He just rolled his eyes.

"You need to rest and you need to let him rest." Knox spoke softly.

"No, he needs to wake up. He has to wake up. I can't live without him." I said crying again. I felt like all I was doing lately was crying.

Knox crouched down beside me and placed his hands on my legs. "I know that, trust me, I do but we both know that he wouldn't want you sitting here crying when you're supposed to be resting."

I shook my head. "I'm not leaving his side. You can't make me."

He sighed and so did Giovanni.

"Fine but I am having a nurse bring in another bed so that you can rest too."

I nodded. "Fine but not the blonde nurse. She is a bitch."

"Deal."

A brunette nurse brought in another bed and put it beside Vince's. I laid down but never let go of his hand. I didn't want to.

Later when everyone left the room, I slid out of my bed and managed to squeeze myself in beside Vince in his bed. I was careful to avoid his wounds and bruises and rested my head on his chest so I could hear his heartbeat. It calmed me.

I don't know when I had fallen asleep or for how long but I knew that it had been a while because the sun was gone and the room was dark. The full moon shining through through the window and the lights from Vince's machine were the only light.

I thought I was dreaming when I felt a hand brush a loose strand of hair back behind my ear but I wasn't. I slowly pulled back and looked up. I was sure that my heart stopped beating when I saw a familiar pair of blue eyes looking back at me.

"Did I hear you tell Gio that you would stab him? I'd pay to see that, Moglie."
