Bleeding Love

Chapter 59

Damon

I woke up during the night with an uncommon sound. It seems like a child is whimpering or shivering. I looked with half open eyes and realized I slept as she went in the shower. I laid down to rest a bit but I slept as my head hit the bed. I was sleeping diagonally over the bed covers but I am still under the duvet, how? Oh, its the extra one, probably she had pulled it up on me, that's why I am not wearing shoes. She must have taken them off as I remember sleeping in them. I turned onto my back and felt her hand in mine. A smile automatically came to me and I kissed it.

I heard that voice again and I got up. I was shocked when my eyes went up to her. That sound was coming from her She was the one shivering in cold. Why is she not under the duvet. because you were sleeping on it idiot I scolded myself. I sat up and touched her shoulder to wake her up. She was so cold. I got up from the bed and reached her side. She was shivering like a child exposed to cold water. She was just wearing my t-shirt and didn't even have a blanket of course she is cold. I picked her up and laid her under the covers. I increased the thermostat temperature and took off my shirt. I laid with her and pulled her into my arms giving my body heat. I rubbed her back "Doll , Doll wake up baby." I said slowly to check if she has not lost her consciousness or is coming down with fever or worse. She was so stiff except the shiver "Hey baby, wake up Doll." I said again and she moved a bit. Her eyes flutter open and she looked at me. "Hey Doll, wake up baby. Are you ok?" I asked whispering to her. "Hmmm" she just hummed in response but she was still shivering. I pulled her closer and kept rubbing her back. I got up and rubbed her feet too. Her feet were cold like ice. I kept rubbing her feet to give her some heat.

I moved to her once I was satisfied that her feet were warm enough. I laid with her and pulled her into my embrace. Slowly she warmed up a bit. Atleast she stopped shivering.

I kept on stroking her hair thinking about the recent events. Something is not correct and the thing that is frustrating me most is I am not able not able to put finger on it. Russo's allies are acting up. I know that. I lost a few important business and the people whom I lost them to are Russo's allies. Seems like Russo is coming out of shadows. But how, where? I have even captured Miguel but I am not getting anything out of it. Something doesn't feel right. Enzo and I are putting lot of nights as stake out to keep the vigilance but why I am not able to figure out Russo's leverage. I know he is planning something that's why when Antonio told me that Sophia left I got so paranoid.

I was interrogating Miguel when she called me. So I couldn't answer her. I saw her text that she wanted to go out but I cannot trust the surroundings right now to send her alone so I told her No. That's why I lost my shit when Antonio told that she left. How can she go when I said her not to? My blood was boiling at every unanswered call. I was damn angry at her and left the warehouse. I drank almost the whole bottle of bourbon in an attempt to calm my nerves down. I don't want to punish her too much. But she left. She defied me. How can she disobey my direct words? She knows me better than that.

The only thing I was not understanding that why the GPS tracker in her phone and in her necklace I gave is not moving and its still giving her location as home. If she has left why is it still showing home. Has she took it off? She never takes it off, though I never asked her. I never had to say her to wear it always, I knew she fears me too much to take it off and that's what always happened. She wore it anyways. Maybe today she took it off. I was confused and angry. "Fuck" I cursed banging the steering as another call she didn't answer.

"Antonio!" I blasted at him as I reached home. "Where the hell is she?" I asked grabbing his collar. "Don, I told her not to go but she said she will be back soon and left" he said. "No. No she is here only. Why is phone giving me the location of here?" I said in my confusion. "She didn't go, Don" we heard a voice from behind. "John?" I looked at one of my chauffeur. "Yes Sir I was the one she was about to go with. But then she received a text and canceled her plan. She told me to go to Enzo Sir with a packet. I just told her that I gave it to him." He told me. "What? Wait you said, you just informed her, where is she now?" I asked her. "In the backyard" he said. "Are you crazy??" I scolded Antonio to be such a delusional fuck. He made me so angry on her. I was so relieved that she is safe. Why was she going to meet Enzo? A part of me wondered but I drove that thought away and went to the backyard.
