The Don's maid

Chapter twenty-five

Dante pov*

This man really thought I can trust him, seriously he came from nowhere proposing to help me and he expected I will cooperate, stupid! There is something fishy about him; I prefer to stay away so I ordered Mateo to send him. I gave him my back.

The next thing I felt was someone jumping on my back, grabbing me by my shoulders, followed by gun's shout. I turned and what I saw idleed my blood.

Valentina ...

Valentina I took her quickly on my arms before she fell on the floor

I looked around, I saw this man with a bullet in his shoulder mobilized on the ground by Mateo. The mansion was invaded by guards.

My brain recovered working after some seconds. I started to shout at everyone

"Call the doctor... Call the ambulance!!!"

Oh my God I couldn't believe what was happening, Valentina took the bullets for me and here she was draining of her blood and I couldn't do anything.

I couldn't stop the tears to flow

"Please baby hold on, please..."

She was looking at me with her fabulous green eyes that captivated me years back

I kept kissing her forehead

"Don't close your eyes...baby stay with me"

Seeing her smile at me worried me and the next moment she closed her eyes

"No No No Valentina open your eyes, don't let me here alone; I beg you love please" I yelled like a madman

"Where is the fucking Doctor?"I shouted

Mateo came and put his shirt on Valentina's wound to stop the bleeding.

There was a deafening silence like the time was stopped. Everyone was holding his breath...This silence was breaking by Elena voice

"Let me your bastard, let me go" She was debating with a guard who was holding her from coming near us. She beat him on his belly, freed herself and run towards us

"Valentina, Valentina wake up" She yelled

"Dante do something for God sake"

At this moment our medical crew came, they tried to push me but I didn't move. I can't let her.

"Please Don let us do our job" The doctor pleaded and Mateo pulled me from her

"Dante we don't have time let them save her"

Save her this words was ringing in my head

I was staring at the scene in front of me. The doctor letting out a breath after he took her pulse

"She is still alive, despite she lost a lot of blood, we have to take her quickly to the clinic to perform the surgery"

***

We are waiting in the front of the surgery room; it was three hours since Valentina was inside. I will become crazy waiting.

Elena was crying mess, Stefano trying to calm her. He came from the warehouse as soon as he knew. I hided my face in my palms Please God save her I prayed

I was bringing back to my sense when my phone rang, it was Mateo he stayed at the mansion to handle everything

"Yes Mateo"

"How is she"

"She is still under surgery" I sighed

"She will be fine Dante"

I massaged my eyes to stop the tears, not hearing any response from me he continued

"And don't worry about anything I am here; this bastard is in our basement he will pay and everyone who is involved will pay"

My anger came back instantly

"Let him for me I want him alive" I said gritting my teeth

"Of course Don, but I want to do my part with him too, I am in part responsible for what happened I should have been more careful..."

I saw the doctor, I cut the call standing up, Elena and Stefano did the same.

"How is Valentina" Elena asked, because I was just standing there like an idiot holding my breath

"The surgery went well but..."

"But what? Speak" I said eager to hear the rest

"Like you know she lost a lot of blood and despite transfusion her body didn't support so she fell into a coma"

Oh my God

"How long she will stay like this" I managed to ask

"I can't say"

I was angered by his answer he is a doctor or not, I grabbed him by his collar

"What do you mean you don't know? Why are you a doctor then?"

He was clearly afraid and he is right to be. Stefano grabbed my hands freeing this stupid doctor

"We did all we can but now only her body and her will can make the difference" He added calmly

After some seconds of silence I spoke again

"I want to see her"

"In my opinion you have to wait before seeing her" The Doctor said

I glared at him

"I said I want to see her NOW" I replied with a low voice looking straight into his eyes. He sighed.

"She was transferred into a special room, follow me"

I was shockedby th sight in front of me, I wished to die before see her like that. She was so pale surrounded by machine and tubes.

I sat near the bed, took her small hand in mine bringing it to my mouth. I kept kissing her cold hand.

"You have to fight Valentina, do you hear me?"

"I... I can do it without you; I was stupid to think otherwise... Please my love wake up don't let me alone "

Unable to hold back I burst into tears.

She has to be almost died for me to realize that I was doing wrong. Pushing her away to avoid suffering is completely stupid. Instead of trying to create moments together and enjoy life I kept pushing her away thinking that she and I will be safe like that.

Despite everything, every hurt I gave her she didn't hesitate to risk her life to save me, and that the true love is, it's risking our life and get out of our comfort zone for our loved one.

I didn't understand it until now, I was a coward. I was so confused to think about my selfish person that I didn't hesitate to make her suffer. I am so ashamed of myself; I thought about me first and that is the opposite of what I should have done.

Her love for me is beyond what I thought...I don't deserve her.

I hope you are all fine
