Carlos P.O.V
I was hugging Lexi since she is crying, and suddenly I feel her go limp.
I shook her, but she didn't wake up.
"She passed out from exhaustion. Take her to your room" Diego said and I nodded
I picked up Lexi bridal style and took her to my room. I put her under the covers and went back downstairs and went into Diego's office.
Diego was sitting at his desk doing work, while drinking
"I can't believe they would do that to her. What kind of family would abandon their child" I asked
"A bad family" Diego said as he took a sip of whiskey
"I never should've let her go back to her family. I should have stopped her" I said and punched a wall and screamed
"Carlos. Calm down. Everything that happened to Lexi only made her stronger. She will come out of this stronger then ever before, but if she does fall we will be their for her to catch her" Diego said and I nodded
Diego poured me a drink and I gladly accepted
"Damn right. I'm never letting her fall" I said and took a sip of my drink
"Why is she here anyway?" I asked
"She called me last week saying if she could come stay with me. I said yes, but I asked her why. She said she left home. On the phone her voice sounded so sad and broken. I have never heard her voice that broken, it sounded like she had given up. I never knew why she ran away" Diego said
"How could they do that to her. You know all she ever wanted was a family that loved her no matter what and she thought this was it. She always talked about her family. Apparently they didn't love her as much as she loved them. I know she could never hate them, but right now she should hate them." I said and Diego agreed
"Lexi could never hate her family, no matter what" Diego said and I nodded.
We just sat in his office in quiet trying to process what Lexi told us, suddenly my stomach growled
"I'm starving" I randomly said looking at Diego. He only raised his eyebrows at me
"What do you want me to do about it. Get up and make food if you are hungry" Diego said and I held my hand Over my heart which only made Diego roll his eyes
"Get out" Diego said and I laughed
I got up and went to the kitchen where I saw Amelia sitting down eating . (Amelia is Diego's PREGNANT Girlfriend)
"Hey Amelia" I said while looking at her plate
"Hello Carlos. And no there isn't anymore food. You will have to make some" she said which made me groan
"Ok. It's fine. I will just microwave Mac and cheese" I said which made Amelia laugh
"You are such a little kid. Anyway who was that girl who was in the living room" Amelia said
"Oh that's Lexi. She is the other leader of the mafia. She is like Diego's daughter. She is going to be living with us" I said and amelias eyes light up which made me chuckle
"You mean that girl was Lexi. The Lexi you and Diego don't shut up about. Oh my god. I will have a girl to chat with" Amelia squealed.
"Lia calm down. She need time alone before we can introduce her to you. She is sad right now and needs time to fix herself" I said
"Fine" she said while crossing her arms which made me laugh
"I'm going to sleep Goodnight" she said
"Night" I said to her as I hugged her.
While I was hugging her I felt a presence behind me. I turned around and saw Lexi.
Her face had tear stains and her eyes were red and puffy.
Lexis P.O.V (after she passed out)
I woke up and saw I was tucked in a random bed.
I got up and looked around. I saw that the room was all black with huge windows. I saw pictures of Carlos with faith and I. So I'm guessing this is Carlos room.
I need water.
I left the room and went downstairs and I heard voices, so I followed them.
I entered the kitchen and saw Carlos and a random woman hugging. I immediately frowned
Who is she?
Is that his girlfriend?
Why is she so close to him?
I saw that Carlos turned around and saw me and walked over to me.
"Hi. How are you feeling" Carlos asked me softly. I just nodded
"I'm good. I just need water" I said and Carlos filled a glass for me and handing it to me. I drank it so fast
"HI I am Amelia" the woman said as she extended her hand out to me
"Hello I am Alexia, but you can call me Lexi" I said smiling at her
"I don't mean to be rude, but who are you" I said nicely which made her laugh
"Oh I'm sorry. I Am Diego's girlfriend" Amelia said and my jaw dropped
"Girlfriend?" I asked
"Yup. That old man won my heart" she said and I looked at her skeptically
"Anyway. I have to go to sleep. This baby is making me tired" she said rubbing her belly
"Pregnant?" I asked confused
"Yup. 4 months" she said and left
I looked over to Carlos and saw him eating Mac and cheese
"She's so young and Diego is so old. Are you sure she isn't a gold digger. I don't want Diego getting heartbroken" I said
"I'm sure Lexi. I made our hacker look into every inch of her life. She is a normal woman. She just happened to fall in love with a man older than her" he said and I nodded
"Anything Else I should know" I asked him and he smiled at me
He has perfect teeth
"Well...let's see. We went over the girlfriend and her pregnancy, so yeah that's it" Carlos said which made me laugh
"Ok. I get it. Chill out" I said and yawned
"Come on let's get you to bed" Carlos said and I nodded
We headed up to his room and I was following behind him slowly.
"Hurry up slowpoke" Carlos said and I just rolled my eyes
We arrived to his room and I went to the bathroom and changed into pajamas. I walk out and see Carlos laying blankets on the floor
"What are you doing" I asked looking at him curiously
"You are going to sleep in the bed and I'm going to sleep on the floor" Carlos said which made me frown
"Carlos we have shared a bed before. Come on. I won't bite" I said as I got in bed and patted the other side
Carlos let out a breath and nodded and got into bed
"Goodnight Lexi" he said
"Goodnight Carlos" I said as I cuddled into him
I fell asleep surrounded by warmth
