Daniel POV: Parking in the parking lot of the hospital we climb out. Xavier opens the door in the backseat and takes Amari into his arms. Walking into the hospital doctors and nurses come rushing to us with a bed. “Sir you can hand her over to us she’s in safe hands,” A male nurse says trying to take Amari from him “I think I’m capable of carrying my girl and putting her on the bed myself,” he says but the nurse doesn’t move out of his way “Look his just doing his job,” I say intervening because Xavier looks like his two seconds away from killing someone. He completely ignores the nurse shoving past him. He puts her on the bed himself and the doctors take her through the door Going to the waiting area I sit down whilst Xavier paces up and down. Every time the doors open we look up to see if it's the doctor but it’s not The door opens again and we look up to see the doctor who took Amari "Uhm Mr Stalin," the doctor says walking over to us and we stand up to meet her halfway. "
Shadow POV:Amari has been in hospital for 2 days and I haven’t left. I just pretended to leave after Daniel and fought but once I saw the lights switch off on this part of the wing I sneaked back in through the window Every time a nurse came in I would just hide in the bathroom, the closet, or even underneath the bed. I’m not going to leave Amari here alone. She needs someone to be bedside her when she wakes up. Not to mention the doctor doesn’t know that Amari needs to take BR12 every single night to keep her stable Looking over at the clock it reads 4:15 pm. The 3rd visiting hours of the day are about to start. Sighing I turn over to look at her. Her eyes start to flatter and the machine beeps loudlyRushing towards her I see that her heart rate is increasing she must be panicking. Placing her hand in mine I gently squeeze it to show her I'm here. Her heart rate goes back to normal and she slowly starts opening her eyes"Hey, sweetheart" I softly say leaning down to kiss her fore
Shadow POV:Driving deeper into the woods I reach a dead end. Well, the dead for people who shouldn’t be here. Stepping out of the car I leave it running as I run over to the sign that’s blocking the road. Placing it on the side I jump back into the car I continue to drive for 1km and then my cabin comes into view. Parking the car I turn the engine off. Climbing out of the car I head towards my front door, finding the key in the pot plant I open the door and I turn on the lights. Doing a quick sweep of the area. I grab a dustpan and a broomstick and I start looking for spider webs. Finding a couple around the house I sweep them all up. Finally happy with the place I go back to the car. Gently opening the backseat car door Amari's head falls directly into my arms. Picking her up I carry her bridal style. She starts stirring awake“Shhh got back to sleep I got you” I whisper and she snores again. I walk into the house and I go straight to the bedroom to put her down on the bed.Pla
Shadow POV:"It's no problem sweetheart", I say kissing her neck and her breath hitched. The sound made my cock twitch Leaning closer and closer to each other I lose patience and I grab her face. Smashing my lips with hers I groan twisting her head and deepening the kiss. Picking her up I put her on the table. Plates and glass click and clang when she lands She starts heavy breathing her chest rises and falls as I kiss her collarbone. My dick is throbbing and straining against my jeans. I step in between her legs and grab her thighs caging myself "You're so fucking special" I groan planting feather-light kisses on her neck"Thank you” she softly whispers grinding herself on me “But maybe we should do it in the bedroom” she rasps grabbing at my shirt "Sweetheart I want this whole place smelling like you. Like us by tomorrow so be a good girl and let me take you" I drag my hands underneath her dress and I cup her pussy to find her soaking through her pair of panties. She moans maki
Amari POV: I woke up this morning with Shadow’s arms wrapped around me and I’ve never felt more connected to him. I feel like we are getting somewhere“I’m thinking we go down to the stream today,” he says with my feet on his lap whilst giving me a foot massage. Looking away from the pages of my book I put it on my chest“It’s cold,” I say and he chuckles “It’s Moscow in the middle of winter of course it’s cold but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t explore,” he says and I smile “You guys have wolves,” I say trying to justify why I don’t want to go out. He chuckles rubbing my feet“And I have two loaded guns,” he says climbing on top of me “Whose scarier” he grins, and I boop his nose “The wolves,” I say and he rolls his eyes making me chuckle. He climbs off me and he sits back down in defeat “I would love to go outside but,” I say and he practically brightens up. He stands and holds out his hand for me “We don’t go too far from the cabin we stay close,” I say grabbing his hand and
Amari POV:Stretching my arm out to feel Shadow's side of the bed I pause when I don't feel anything. Opening my eyes I look around and see a note on the bed. Picking it up I read itOut to get suppliesSighing I get up and I wrap myself in the sheets. I thought he was going to wake me up for dinner but now it’s the next day. Rolling my eyes and shaking my head I shuffle my feet into the bathroom Grabbing a toothbrush and squeezing some toothpaste on it I start brushing my teeth. Spitting, drinking, and spitting out water I shut the tap. I shuffle my feet out of the room and to the kitchen my stomach grumbles. I’m starving opening the fridge there’s a container written salmon on it. Smiling I grab the container and pop it into the microwave Taking it out I open the container to see something like a pie. Hmmm, it must be a salmon pie. Grabbing a fork I pick up a piece “I guess it’s a first time for everything,” I say and then I put the fork in my mouth “Ohh that’s fucking good” I
Amari POV:Bored I walked into the dusty room and I did some cleaning up. Got rid of the cobwebs and opened the curtains to try to brighten up the place Tracing my fingers over all the books on the shelf one falls onto the floor landing on my feet and I jump back a little. Picking up the book it says Album. Aww this must have all his baby picturesOpening it I'm met with a picture of a girl. My heart stops. Underneath the picture, it reads Amanda Calvenski. Cause of death Untreated cancer. What the fuck why does this name sound familiar Turning over the page I'm met with another picture and my eyes widen. Underneath this one, it says Amelia Cadwell. Cause of death malnutrition Quickly turning over the page I'm met with another girl. This one says Amiyah Cadet. Cause of death suicide Who are all these fucking girls and why do they look like - turning the page I freezeMe...what the fuck. When did he even take this picture and who the hell are these girls? Dropping the album I clos
Shadow POV:My smile drops as soon as she leaves the room. What the hell have I just done? Telling her those girls on the album are my cousins has to be the dumbest thing I could ever do. That’s if she finds out the truth.Nothing has gone according to the plan everything just keeps changing I – just fuck. Leaving the room I go towards the front door and I grab my coat"Uhm tsvetok, I'll be back later okay I just need to get supplies" I yell loud enough so she can hear. Waiting for her reply I open the door"Okay...fiancé," she says excitedly and I chuckle shaking my head. I might have fucked up but I haven’t fucked up that bed Getting into my car I start the engine and drive out of the woodsOut of all the things she could have found she had to find that fucking album. Hitting the steering wheel a couple of times I stop. My ragged breaths fill the silent car space and I try to calm myself down but it’s not working At least I was able to divert the situation to the ring cause how wa
Daniel POV:It's been 6 months since Amari died and when Xavier pulled the trigger I was more than glad to find that the safety was still on. A part of Xavier died that day with AmariThe man that we still see today is merely a ghost with a broken heart He's been in and out of the facility and today I'm driving to fetch him Pulling into the driveway of the facility I see Xavier standing outside the doors with a cigarette in his hand and a duffel bag in the otherWhen he sees me he throws the cigarette on the floor crushing it with his foot. Parking in front of him I open the window"Hey," I say and he nods opening the car door. Climbing inside he opens the cubby hole and takes out a folded picture"She looked so beautiful," he says looking at their wedding picture"Yeah, she did," I say staring straight ahead. It still hurts to talk about her but today we have too "Turns out there was nothing we could have done. A while back the doctors predicted she wouldn't live past the age of 18
Xavier POV:"Are you serious right now the wedding started 40 minutes ago" Daniel says as I stand beside him at the altar. Damn, why is he so uptight?"I had to take care of something" I smirk fixing my suit when I think about what just happened in her changing roomEven though Daniel and I aren't close at all, for Amari's sake I made him my best man. The music starts playing and all the guests stand up. Smiling I straighten up when see Amari by the archway. There’s a bunch of audible gasps when they see her. Suddenly feeling out of breath I wipe my hands down my suit pants. She looks breathtaking. She makes her way through the doors and my eyes widen even more Fuck me After Amanda falling in love was never in the cards for me. I had trust issues and ever since then, the girls I've been with were just there to suppress the hurt I have accustomed myself to. Practically a means to an end When I met Amari I wasn't looking for love it was a simple interaction that had to happen cause i
Daniel POV:Too many days have gone by and every time I try to talk to Amari about the cure something or someone distracts her from the conversationIt's her wedding day today so I had the gift hidden under the gifts table for safekeeping. I wanted to tell her one-on-one but now I'll just tell her when everyone is in the same room this evening"Daniel you look handsome" Turning I see Bella standing in the doorway looking every bit as stunning as she is "Thanks, Bella", looking at myself in the mirror I have to say having the girls wear caramel and the boys wear Mocha was a nice touch to the weddingAmari wanted the wedding to look like a coffee drink. According to Bella the last three months Amari has been obsessed with Starbucks so you can imagine there is even a Starbucks pop-up shop at the reception"You look beautiful, Bella," I say turning to face her and she smiles doing a complete 360. Wow just wow. Walking over to her I stop in front of her "Thank you" She hooks our hands an
Chapter 47: Pregnancy test? Snuggling closer to him, I plop some butter popcorn into my mouth. A scary scene comes up in the movie and I hide my face in his chest. “Is it gone? Tell me it’s gone” I ask, and he chuckles resting his head on the top of mine. “It’s gone, Tsvetok,” he says. I take a slight peak to find the scene gone. This was my first time watching a horror movie. I haven’t had much time to watch movies lately, so Shadow advised we watch his favorite horror together. Mama. It’s about a dead woman who adopts these two little girls after their father tries to kill them. I thought it was going to be cutesy, but instead, she started killing people and refusing for the little girls to go back into humanity. “I don’t like this anymore” I sob, watching the youngest girl getting pulled closer to the edge by the demon lady. Shadow turns the T.V. off and turns to me. “No more, see,” he says. I blow out a breath and I shove a handful of buttery popcorn into my mouth. “It was s
Amari POV: "Hey you can't go in there," the shop assistant says. Turning we look at very out-of-breath and exhausted Daniel"You came, "I say smiling. He scans me from head to toe and smiles "I saw your note on my bed and I just couldn't miss this. Roza, you look incredible" he says nearing me. The tears I thought wouldn't fall start to fall one by one"Aww roza don't cry," he says bringing me in for a hug"I'm sorry"I whisper and he plants a kiss on my forehead"Don't be I'm glad I'm here" he says squeezing me tighter"I am too, "I say embracing his warmth"Okay well enough of the shit show we should get going," Bella says clapping her hands. Daniel chuckles and he breaks the hug. Fixing myself I go back into the fitting room and take off the gownWalking back out Daniel already has my dress on a hanger. He hands it over to the lady and she takes the price tag to the counter"Oh I am so glad you found a dress," the shop assistant says scanning the tag"I loved every piece but this
Amari POV:Xavier and I ate breakfast then we took a shower together. He suggested we head into town but instead, he flew us to Italy. I should have known he didn't mean the local town in MoscowAfter landing he got us a car that dropped us off in a street filled with many boutiques. Turning to Xavier I looked at him in confusion. I thought we came to get the ring "What are we doing here," I ask and he smiles pecking my lips"Shopping spree," he says climbing out of the car and waiting for me to do so. Grabbing his hand I jump out of the car. Still surprised and slightly confused I look at all the beautiful buildings. I knew I was homesick but being here now is making me realize that I missed Italia "We didn't have to go to Italy for this, "I say hooking my arm on his"Well you're half Italian aren't you so let's see if you're any good" he walks us towards a boutique with cute pretty dresses. Opening the door the bell dingles and the lady by the counter walks up to us"Salve, come p
Bella POV:God, it's always the good-looking ones that are such pricks. Marching towards Daniel's room I start banging on his door and then I turn the handle "What t-" Cutting him off I march into his room and start my rant"I just can't believe Xavier is such an asshole not to mention you were right his not a good guy shit what is his deal" I scream flopping onto his bed bedside him. He is quiet for a while so I sit up to see him looking at me with sleepy eyes and bedridden hair "Bella what are you doing here" he groans in his morning voice and I only realize now that I woke him up. Oh shit "Shit I'm sorry I didn't realize you were asleep," I say and he yawns running a hand through his hair ruffling it even more. Why the hell does he have to be so sexy?"Fuck so Xavier's really here," he asked sitting up and resting his back on the headboard. Wait what’s that smell "Oh my god you reek of alcohol," I say pinching my nose. I was too busy ranting I didn’t even realize it smelled lik
Shadow POV:I never went back to our room last night and quite frankly I just sat in my office drinking my frustration away. But it's 6 am now and I promised Amari I'll do betterSecuring my robe around my waist I walk out of my office. I walk down the hallway and the staircase and I enter the kitchen. Seeing someone sitting on the counter I pull out my gun ready to shoot but then I see the blonde hair. Oh it’s Bella"Hey," I say and she jumps off the counter clutching her cereal bowl in freight"Holy shit" is what she says when she turns around to see me"Fuckin in hell" she curses as she puts her bowl of cereal down"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you," I say opening the fridge and taking out the eggs"Uhm no ar- are you making Amari breakfast," she asked with a wide grin on her face and I rolled my eyes. I don’t know Bella or how to feel about her but she’s Amari’s best friend she can’t be that bad "Oh. my. god," she says smiling like a crazy woman whilst shoving a spoon of cereal i
Amari POV: "What" I rasp closing my eyes shut when he reaches my lower abdomen. His lips hover over my clit and I fist the sheets the anticipation killing me."I'm sorry," he says kissing my inner thigh and I sigh not understanding where this is going"For what" I ask and he pauses"Look at me," he says growing serious. Rising a bit I rest my weight on my elbows so I'm looking at him"I'm sorry for how I acted back at the cabin I uhm," he says nervously, and now I sit up straighter so that I'm giving him my devoted attention"I have PTSD and I didn't take my meds," he says not even looking at me truly speaking I've never seen Shadow this sincere. I honestly don't know what to do. I’m shocked and relieved that his being vulnerable with me right now "A long time ago I promised myself that I wouldn’t and I couldn’t fall in love with someone but I can’t keep lying to myself about how I feel about you," he says staring into space and I go towards him. Grabbing his face I make him look at
