Stuck Between Two Mafia Hot Lords Confrontation
Claire's POV I drummed my fingers on the bed, my eyes fixed before me, staring at nothing in particular as I sat in the uncomfortable plastic chair beside Salvatore's hospital bed. The hospital’s typical smell of antiseptics and bleach flowed into my nostrils. I couldn't help but replay the events of the past few hours in my mind. The man who had caused me so much pain, who had treated me like dirt for so long, had somehow found his way to my door in the dead of night, covered in his vomit and begging for help.The guts of him! I had been torn in that moment, unsure if I should turn him away or if I should offer him the help he so desperately needed. But despite everything he had put me through, I couldn't bring myself to abandon him in his time of need. This was the problem I had. I was too kind. Too kind to my detriment. Now, as I sat in the dimly lit hospital room, the only sound was the gentle beeping of the machines monitoring Salvatore's vital signs. I couldn't shake off the

Salvatore's PovAs I lay there, I listened intently to the conversation between Megan and Claire. I was surprised to hear Claire defending me, and even more astonished that she was waiting for me to wake up after everything I had put her through.“I'm not going anywhere, Megan. I'll be here till Salvatore wakes up, whether you like it or not”Those words did something to me and I wasn't going to admit the sentiments.Maybe she didn't mean the words. No, that couldn't be true.My mind flashed back to the times Claire had saved me and a pang of guilt shot through my chest. I remembered the way she had nursed me, the way she had stood by me even when I was at my worst.It felt like I was dying, but still, she was there to assure me that everything was going to be alright. Even Megan, with whom my trust was strong, left me to die.I remember Claire holding onto me and giving words of reassurance.I felt a rise of emotions: regret, gratitude, and a…no? It cannot be. Was this…deep affection

Claire's POVI moved about the kitchen with ease, the sizzle of the boiling yam in the pot filled the air. I added a pinch of salt before I then grabbed a fork nearby. As I forked each yam to know if it was ready or not, I couldn't shake off the feeling that someone was watching me. I glanced over my shoulder, expecting to see no one, but my heart skipped a beat as I caught sight of Salvatore standing in the doorway.I jolted in surprise, and my hands stilled, the fork above the pot. Salvatore's eyes were fixed on me, and I swear I saw a smile at the corner of his lips. I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart, and made my way over to him."Ohmm, hey. How are you feeling?" I asked, trying to sound casual despite the flutter in my chest. Salvatore had just returned from the hospital."I'm fine, thanks," he replied, his voice low and smooth. "Just a little tired."I nodded, feeling a surge of relief. "You should get some rest, then," I said, trying to usher him away from t

Claire's povI slipped out of the house, careful not to make a sound. I had been feeling off for weeks, but I knew it would only worry me more if he found out. So I made the appointment in secret, hoping to get a clean bit of health and my mind at ease.Salvatore not knowing I was pregnant yet made me restless. I was scared about what he would do when he found out. My belly had started to harden and increase in size since last week and I sometimes suck it in to prevent him from finding out.By the time the belly started to rise, I would not be able to hide it from him anymore and I awaited his judgment. But before then, I needed to plan my escape, to secure the life of my baby and me.As I walked into the hospital, I felt a rush of anxiety wash over me. What if something was seriously wrong? What if I was putting my baby in danger? That wasn't a what-if question. I had passed through so much from Salvatore that it was expected.I walked into the doctor's room and prepared for the chec

Salvatore’s POVAs I sat in the sterile, white-walled waiting room of Dr. Tyler’s office, my heart raced with anxiety. Thoughts of my son, Davidson, plagued my mind as I waited to discuss his recent behavior with our family doctor. The faint smell of antiseptic lingered in the air, mingling with the sound of footsteps echoing down the hallway and the distant hum of medical equipment. When Tyler finally called me into his office, I entered with a heavy heart. The room was filled with medical textbooks, framed certificates hanging on the wall, and a desk cluttered with patient files. Tyler sat behind the desk, looking all sharp and professional. Medicine really looked good on him. I took a deep breath as I lowered myself into the seat across from him, feeling the weight of my worry settling upon me.“What's up, Salv? How have you been doing?” He beamed at me “I’ve been good, Man. It’s about Davidson” I paused, holding his gaze before I continued “His behavior has been so erratic lat

Salvatore's PovI had left the hospital after seeing Claire and Davidson curdled up and I had gone home immediately, telling his nanny I would see Davidson another time. I walked out of the kitchen, to the living room and Claire walked in just in time."Where are you coming from?" I asked trying to hide the fact that it gave me a different satisfaction to know that she cared for my son.Claire looked up at me like she was surprised by my question. "I went to the hospital," she replied, her voice weak.I raised an eyebrow, expecting her to lie. But instead, she told the truth. I was taken aback, but I didn't press the issue."What did you go there for?""Bed rest," she said. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I wasn't feeling so good and I didn't want it to affect my stripping classes""That's enough." I stopped her from speaking further. "I made you some food," I said, walking into the kitchen. "You need to eat something."Claire shook her head, feeling groggy. "I'm not hungry," she said.

Claire's POV “Stunning” Sasha breathed, stepping back to admire his handiwork. “You could stop traffic in that outfit, Claire. No, scratch that—you will stop it. You own this room, you own that stage. And that's on period!”Stripping day was here. After all the classes I had had, it was time to make some money for Salvatore. Classes had been hard but I was getting the hang of it and I was sure this would be better than the last time.I looked at myself in the mirror, taking in my image from head to toe. Long platinum hair cascaded over my shoulders, a flawless wig—one of Sasha’s favorites. He always said it framed my face just right. My fake lashes were thick and dramatic, and my eyes? They were smoky enough to kill. My lips had been doused in vermillion red, smudge-proof lipstick. All day, Salvatore hadn't spoken to me at home. I was extremely glad I had more rest to prepare for stripping tonight.When it was night, Salvatore had called me from his room, ordering that I pack my bel

I wasn't going to let any man touch her. The lustful eyes of men and the comments from the men who sat with me were not what I could handle. They wanted Claire, just as much as I wanted her.The door to the study room opened as Claire walked in. She wore a flared gown - anything looked good on her. My eyes dwindled as I watched her walk across the room. I had initially agreed to let her work as a stripper, but now I was having second thoughts. The idea of another man seeing her, touching her, was unbearable."Hey, come closer for a minute."She walked into my office, a look of curiosity on her face.I gestured for her to take a seat in the leather chair opposite my desk. "I've been thinking... I don't want you working as a stripper anymore."Her eyebrows shot up in surprise, "Why not?"My jaw cle

Claire's POV"I'm so excited for the baby shower," Elyse said, looking up at me with a smile. "We need to start planning the details. What's your theme? Have you thought about games and food?"Elyse and I were resting on the couch in the penthouse, enjoying a lazy afternoon together. We'd just finished lunch, and Elyse couldn't get over her excitement about the baby shower I was planning.I laughed. "Slow down, Elyse. I've barely had time to think about it.

Claire's POV The ringing doorbell interrupted my movie, causing me to wonder how it was, but I felt too lazy to stand up. Maybe it was my pregnancy after all. The doorbell rang again almost immediately but I didn't see any sign of anyone else coming to answer it. I took that as my cue to answer it. But just as I was about to stand up, Elyse appeared in the living room. “I'll answer it, don't worry” Elyse said I turned to the door when Elyse opened it, and I was greeted by the sight of Romano standing there, with a warm smile on his face. He looked just as handsome as I remembered, with his tousled hair and charming eyes. “Heyyyy” he drawled, stepping forward to wrap her in a hug. I could see the delight on her face as she embraced him. It was a sweet moment, one that made my heart swell and miss Don . I suddenly wished he were here. Damn you, Salvatore! I cursed inwardly. “Heyyy” She replied back “It's so good to see you” Elyse said, pulling back from the hug but keeping her han
Stuck Between Two Mafia Hot Lords In Coma
Romano’s POV I walked into the room of one of my underground houses set aside as a ward for Don’s healing and recovery. It all came as a flashback, rushing into my memories. How I had been tracking Don for hours, following the clues. I knew Salvatore's men were closing in on him, and I had to act fast if I was going to save his life.From a distance, I had seen Don sprinting towards the river, Salvatore's men drew their guns, aiming at Don who had just jumped into the river. I had to act fast, but I didn't have a choice till they weren't watching and I had stopped shooting. A few minutes after they had gone, I sprinted towards the water's edge, scanning the river for any sign of Don. That's when I saw him, his body in the water as he tried to swim away from the riverbank.But he was hurt, badly. I could see the blood spreading through the water, and I knew I had to get to him, fast. I dove into the river and I swam towards Don. As I reached him, I wrapped my arm around his chest, h

Elyse's POV Just as I settled into the couch for a movie on Netflix with a tube of Pringles and a glass of lemon squash, my phone beeped and a notification came in. It was a message from Romano. My heart skipped three beats. I abandoned my movie for his text. ‘I can't wait to see you in the dress. Sign and collect ASAP. And no, I'm not spilling the location’ Wait, what? This could only mean one thing. Romano was taking me out. He was asking me out on a date. A proper, restaurant date. We hadn't done this before, although we had a lot of chemistry. I liked Romano a lot and he liked me right back, so there was no way I was going to say no or stand him up. The doorbell rang immediately and I answered it. A face–capped man with a package, clipboard and pen stood, waiting for me. I wrote my signature hastily, got the package and dashed back inside.I didn't even bother exiting Netflix, I just grabbed my phone and sprinted up the stairs. I got into the shower right as I got into my roo

Claire's POV I watched as Elyse and Romano said their goodbyes. He gave her a long peck on her right cheek as they hugged. “Alright guys, let's get going now” I signalled to them. The sun was getting brighter and I wanted us to get to the penthouse before late afternoon. I looked at the wall on the clock. The time read 09:10 am. “Take care, Elyse, I'll miss you” Romano smiled at her “I'll miss you too” She smiled back Our bags were hauled by some bodyguards to the trunks of the two vehicles taking us. When they were done, we said our final goodbyes to Romano, waving and smiling. We boarded the vehicles and soon, we were speeding down the road. It was going to be a long ride so I decided to keep myself busy. I plugged in my earphones and selected a movie –Disney’s Mufasa– to watch. Baby Nolan on the other hand was enjoying Cocomelon which was playing on the mini television in the car. I wasn't sure exactly how long we took but we were at the underground penthouse already. We ali

Claire's POV "Let's take a moment to remember…" I held back more tears, even when my face was red and swollen. "…a mentor, a brave man, a brother, ...a husband" I couldn't control it anymore.Romano came to my side, rubbing me by the side as he comforted me. Elyse sat at a side, her expression numb, she said no word nor did I hear a sob, but her face watered.I wanted to tell her again that I was sorry. That this was entirely my fault. How would I be able to live through this guilt? Staying in the same house knowing that I pulled the trigger and even made no effort to find his body for a proper burial."Don was everything…to me, ..to us" I continue, in between my sobs. "I love you, Don." I kissed the flowers, as I placed them on the little pavement around our former house, where Don and I spent most of our memories.Since there was no corpse to mourn, I thought it was only proper to pay tribute to his property. This wasn't a mode to move on. Never, could I move on from this. But ra

After a while, Elyse slowly pulled away, first wiping her tears before she wiped mine. “That's okay, Claire, that's okay. Enough with the tears” She wiped under my eyes “What matters right now is that you're back, hale and hearty” “I know, right “ I replied, my eyes still teary “I'm so glad to be home, Elyse. You don't know how much I've missed you guys” I broke down into fresh tears. My outburst lasted for quite a while and Elyse did nothing but be patient with me, while rubbing my back and saying soothing words to me. I calmed down after a while, only shaking with silent sobs. “Come right in. Sorry we left you at the door” Elyse ushered me into the house “It's fine. You all were surprised to see me” I replied as I sat on a couch. I looked around the house, taking in everything. I had miss

It was like Salvatore kept interrupting every moment I wanted to have with Don, even in my dreams.I rolled on the bed, cuddling the pillow to my chest as I resumed crying.
