Mr. Mafia

Chapter 7

SOFIA RAMOS' POV

Vincenzo came out of surgery but he was in a coma, the doctors said he shoud wake up soon and that his body needs rest. Gabrielle, Valentino and Isabelle are in Vincenzo's room talking to him because the doctor said that some coma patients could hear what people around them are saying.

They move Vincenzo into his room upon Isabelle's request, I haven't been alone with him since he came out of surgery, I'll just have to come back in the morning.

It was already 3 am, I plan to leave now and come back around 11 am. After saying my goodbye's to everyone, Isabelle had Giovanni drop me back home.

When  I got home, Mateo (her brother) was stitting on one of the kitchen stools, eating. I sat on the stool next to him, resting my head on the counter, I was so tired.

"Are you okay?" Mateo asks rubbing my head.

"Yeah." I lie.

I was not okay, I was scared that yesturday's event could happen again. Not just to Vincenzo but to anyone I cared about.

"We'll be fine, Sofie." Mateo assures me.

"Don't call me that, please." I groan loudly.

It's now 11 am and I was getting ready to go see Vincenzo, as I promised. I wore a forest green dress that stopped above my knees, I made sure to carry two guns and my usual three knives on my thigh holster.

At 11:45 am, I was finally at the Moretti's house, their housekeeper, Camile, let me into the house and I immedatly went to Vincenzo's room.

When I opened his room door, I saw Isabelle sitting on the chair next to Vincenzo's bed, holding his hand. My heart ached for her because of the pain those assholes who shot him, put her through.

As I was about to close the door, I heard Isabelle call me.

"Sofia, cara." She calls. [dear].

"Si?" I reply. [Yes].

"Come talk to him, I know you must want to." She says getting up from the chair and walking over to me.

"Thank you, Isabelle." I say hugging her.

After Isabelle demanded I call her by her first name and not Mrs. Moretti, I made sure to follow her demand.

"No need to thank me, bambina," She continues, " And Sofia, please don't hurt il mio ragazzo, he deserves to be loved." [baby, my boy]. 

I smile at her and nod, hugging Isabelle once again before she left the room. I sit down on the chair Isabelle previously sat at, I caresess Vincenzo's hand softly.

I lead closer to him, rubbing his cheek gently. Resting my head on his arm, tears begin to fall down my cheek. The tears that I had been holding in since I found out he had been shot.

"I said I'd be strong for you but here I am crying." I say laughing, wiping my tears.

"Please wake up, Vincenzo." I plead as more tears run down my cheeks.

"I was trying to be strong and positive for you but I don't think I can anymore." I say letting out a soft sob.

"Please, wake up." I whisper.

"Please, Vincenzo."

"Mia bella?" I heard a deep voice croak out. [my beautiful].

I look up to se Vincenzo, my whole body relaxes, he was awake. Vincenzo lifts his hand to my face, wiping my tears.
