Xavier's pov:

Bianca has broken her right leg and arm, her neck, a few ribs and fell into a coma

That's what the doctor said last month

Alessandro hasn't moved an inch from beside her and he doesn't talk to anyone

He just lays beside her in the hospital holding her hand at all times

Riley and I have grown really distant from eachother

I have to do all Alessandro's work now and I barely see her and she doesn't like that

What else can I do? If the Russians see that the Italian mafia is getting weaker because the boss is with his dying girlfriend they'll come for us

War will start and I can't risk anything happening to my family

Riley on the other hand thinks I've grown distant because she's not ready to have sex with me

I really wonder how that woman's brain is wired

Jasmine has been really clingy too

She thinks I'll leave her like Alessandro did

I tried talking to Alessandro telling him to just let her hug him but the one time i told him I'll bring her to him He yelled at me telling me to not bring her anywhere near him or the hospital

I don't know what's gotten into him Bianca just keeps fucking with his head no matter what she does

She can't let him be

Tyler has to sit with Jasmine when I have to leave or else she starts crying

So basically it has been a very stressing month

And to top it off Anastasia is coming over

That means I have to tell Riley who she is and with how she's been acting it's very likely that she'll do something stupid

That's what had me sighing as I took a deep breath before entering Riley's room

She was cuddled up with her pillows and blanket on the couch her laptop on her lap, her hot chocolate in her hand and my oversized hoodie and her grey sweatpants is what she wore along with her reading glasses and a messy bun

She looked focused on her work as the lines she wrote in her assignment occupied her ocean blue eyes

I want our kids to have her eyes, I really do

Woah where on earth did that come from? She's mad at you these days Xavier don't let your mind wander around

But fuck the image of her sitting on that couch with two little blue eyed kids now lives in my head

Focus

I cleared my throat making her lift her eyes up to look at me before they went back down quickly

I frowned

I want her eyes on me not on the damn laptop

"Do you want something?" She gave me little to none of her attention

This feeling is...annoying

I want her attention

But if she wants to play that game I'll show her who's the coach

"No I just wanted to inform you that my ex-fiancè is coming over today" I turned around to leave but a loud thud made me turn back around

I let out a hearty laugh

I can't even stay mad at her

She got tangled up in the sheets and fell on her face trying to get up

She frowned at me confused as to why I'm laughing

She just looks adorable with her mad frown

I pulled her up and checked if that fall hurt her in anyway before finally looking In her eyes

"Fiancè? Ex-Fiancè?" She whispered

"It was business related not a love engagement happened when I was 16 but it was stopped a year later nothing to worry about love I just thought I shouldn't hide that from you" I searched before on the internet how to be a perfect lover and give your girl what she deserves

I memorized everything the page written by a 13 year old had in it

One of those steps was be open about your past relationships so I thought I shouldn't hide Anastasia from her

"Oh" she stayed silent for a few minutes

"What's on your mind?" I asked gently

"It's just whenever I feel like I finally have you all figured out I finally know everything about you, you prove me wrong" she gave me a sad smile

Fuck that smile hurts

"Hey it's okay you can ask me anything I'll answer right away" I pulled her into my arms

When I felt her shaking I pulled away to look at her face

"What's wrong Riley?" I placed my hands on her cheeks looking in her teary eyes

"I don't want you to leave I'm just not good enough I don't want you to leave me but you're so perfect and god I'm so...me I'm annoying and broken and sad and-and weak and pure disgusting-" I cut her off placing my lips on hers in a soft kiss

I felt her lips shake along with the rest of her body

God the way that she talked about herself is just so...hurtful

I pulled away and wiped her pouring tears "I'm never leaving you baby I love you so so much and I'm planning to stay forever you're not anything from those vile traits you described yourself with, you're the most beautiful, clever, outstanding, amazing person I know you hurt me when you talk about yourself like that" I sighed resting my head on top of hers "I know I've been distant lately but God you don't understand how much work I need to do everyday, if I don't that would put you in danger and you should know that I'd give anything before something happens to you okay? I'm not being distant for any other reason except having a load of work get that in your pretty little head" she didn't say anything just snuggled into me hiding her face in my neck

We stayed like that for sometime

I didn't count but I sure as hell know it was long

But I don't care I'd stay with her for hours if she needs It, nothing matters to me more than her

And I plan on showing her that everyday

Alessandro's pov:

1 month

4 weeks

30 days

720 hours

43200 minutes

2592000 seconds

That's how long it has been since she tried taking her life away

Since I've done nothing but sit beside her holding her hand

Why did she do that? Why did she do that to me?

She wanted to leave me again

She'll never give me a chance will she?

She'll always leave me

She'll always have the power to break me

I clutched her hand tighter resting my head on it

And what I swore I'll never do is exactly what I did

I saw a tear fall on her hand

That's when I realized it was my tear

I was crying for her

Again
