XANDER'S POV:
I couldn't believe the words I just heard so I kept at looking at her dumbfound, waiting for her to reassure me, to laugh and say it's a joke or maybe she did not mean it in a romantic way. My eyebrows knitted at the last thought. I looked at her again to see her at the verge of tears and my eyes widened.
"Eva? What is it? Does it hurt?" I asked in concern. Hurt flashed her eyes and she turned her face away. I grabbed her chin gently, careful not to touch any cuts, and made her look at my face but she stubbornly shut her eyes tightly.
"Come on Eva baby, tell me what is it?" I pressed further. She opened her eyes and gazed into mine, gloomily.
"non mi ami piu." she said and tears once again flowed out of her eyes.
(you don't love me.)
"va bene, capisco." she continued and I was on the verge of bursting into laughter.
(Alright, I understand.)
"non sono abbastanza carina. non sono mai stato abbastanza per te. non lo saro mai." she finished with a deep frown etched on her face and a slight pout on her lips. I wanted nothing more kiss both of them away.
"sei la raggazza piu bella che abbia mai visto. non dubitarne mai. non hai idea di quanto ti bramo, di aver bisogno di te, di volerti e di voler essere li per te. te lo prometto. ti amo cosi tanto, mia regina." With that I wanted to seal my promise with a kiss. Leaning forward I took hold of her left hand which was uninjured and gently kissed her forehead, nose and then captured her lips in a soft yet passionate kiss. She kissed me back instantly and we stayed like that for a while before she pulled back and looked at me with a huge grin plastered on her face. That is the first time I've seen her smiling like that ever since she came and as corny as it sounds, my heart fluttered at the mesmerizing sight. I gave her a small smile of my own and her shone with mischief making me wonder what is going on inside her not so innocent mind.
(never say it. never doubt it. you have no idea how much I crave you, need you, want you and want to be there for you. I promise you. I love you so much, my queen.)
"The capo doesn't smile widely anymore, I see." she teased and I rolled my eyes while a small chuckle escaped my lips. I smirked at her devilishly making her mocking smile disappear.
"The capo requires a reason to smile and you just happen to be the only one here. Come on, make me smile." I teased back and she rolled her eyes.
"I can't given I'm lying on a hospital bed all beaten and bruised." As soon as those words left her mouth, the atmosphere became cold. We both fell silent and a scowl covered my features.
"Who did this?" I asked quietly and she bit the inside of her cheek, looking at the wall behind me.
"I don't know." she replied.
"So you just killed random people?" I arched a brow knowing fully well that she'd never hurt anyone without being a thousand percent sure that they deserve it.
"It's called self-defense, Xander." she retorted. The rage inside me reached it's peak and I sighed heavily.
"I am going to ask you again Xenia. Who. Did. This. To. You?" I asked emphasizing every word and she gulped audibly.
