17. TOO MANY EMOTIONS TO HANDLE

HAPPY READING, GEMS! ❤

XENIA'S POV:

It's been two weeks since the attack that took place at my house and I feel a lot better now minus the fact that I am weak internally and get dizzy every time I try and get up to walk to the washroom. Veronica and Asher has been visiting me every day. She was so upset and furious after she heard what had happened in her absence but we eventually calmed her down. She starts panicking if she sees me moving even an inch and it gets annoying sometimes but I know that she cares for me so I let it slip.

Asher has been giving me reports about the business and all. We own hotels all around Italy, it gets pretty boring with all the paperwork and surveying but gotta do what we gotta do. I came to find out that Xander booked this entire hospital wing for me with a lot of security guarding inside and outside of the hospital.

Speaking of Xander, he had been distant ever since my nightmare but he still stays every night with me. I plan on telling him as soon as I go home. Home. I think I just found my home and it's Xander. Wherever he is, my home is too. Right now I am being fed soup by the one and only overly dramatic Veronica.

"That's enough." I say pushing the spoon away from my mouth.

"No, two more and you're done." she said feeding me the soup again.

"You're gonna win, aren't you?" I sighed. She flipped her hair and shrugged.

"When do you have to leave again?" I ask as she hands me a tissue to wipe my face.

"No I am not leaving, my next project is here in Florence." she replies placing the tray on the nightstand.

"How come?" I frown.

"I told them I can't leave my best friend here alone in this state so they changed the location." she shrugged and I huffed.

"I am fine Ver." I said.

"Sure." she replied and settled on the chair next to my bed.

"Asher's coming here in five and Xander is almost here too." she informed and i nodded.

"When do you plan on telling him?" she asks keeping her phone in her lap and looking at me.

"As soon as I leave this hellhole." I say and she nods.

"You can't keep things from him anymore, now that you both have confessed." she places her hand on mine and squeezes it gently.

"I know Ver. I don't want to either but it's hard opening up about it. It feels as if I am reliving those days." I sigh loudly.

"I can understand but the sooner you tell, the better." she advises and I nod my head in agreement.

Both Asher and Veronica were very happy when I told them that I finally laid out my feelings in front of Xander.

The door opens and in comes Xander and Asher laughing at something. I smile lightly upon seeing them. They both are growing on each other and I am more than happy to see my favorite men bonding together. Asher comes forward and hugs me, careful not to hurt me anywhere. Xander kisses my forehead and gives my hand a gentle squeeze. I look at him but he instantly looks away, making me frown slightly.

"How are you feeling?" Asher asks.

"Fine." I reply directing my attention towards him.

"Good, I'll come and pick you up tomorrow." he says and I nod.

"Xander's busy." he added and I scoffed.

"Yeah, whatever." I say and slip under the covers.

"See you guys tomorrow." I close my eyes to prevent the tears from falling. I don't know why am I so weak in front of Xander. Veronica kissed my forehead and they both left, leaving Xander alone with me.
