The Mafia Bodyguard

"Stop-" I said and he raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Stop what?"

"Stop telling me you care." I replied. "Why?"

"Because I'll fall for you." I replied honestly. He was slightly taken aback by my words.

I placed my hands on his shirtless chest pushing him away, so I was out of his arms.

"What's wrong with falling for me Elenora?" He asked me.

"It hurts."

"I wouldn't hurt you."

"Not you. Love. Love hurts. Their pain breaks you more than your own. Caring, loving hurts." I replied honestly still not meeting his eyes.

"Is that your definition of love?" He questioned and I nodded.

"Then I guess we need to stay away from each other. Or I'll fall in love with you." He said and my eyes immediately shot up to his.

He wasn't lying-

He walked towards the door not daring to look back as he left.

What is happening to us?

I looked at the tray of food on the table as I sat down on my bed.

He cares

And it might ruin us

I was catching feelings for him, and I had to stop

'Their pain breaks you more than your own.' I said to him.
That was my definition of love.

But his pain hurt me more than my own.

Then does that mean I love him?

Elenora Cela was married to an Albanian Mafia Prince. He would abuse her physically and mentally and she had nowhere to escape. All she had was hope, but over time that vanished too. Until he came...

Her bodyguard...

Or that's who she thought he was.

Giovanni D'Angelo was the Italian Mafia Don undercover as Elenora's bodyguard. Every time he sent someone undercover they would always fail, so he decided to go himself. Little did he know that things would take a twist when he finds out that Elenora's family background was linked to his. Never did he think that he'd end up asking her to marry him.

"You're rich so why are complaining about the price?" He asked me.

"Because, it's just a ring."

"No, it's not just a ring. This will show everyone that you're mine, so I'll make sure It's as big as possible for everyone to see."
