Chapter 90: Chapter 89: Lost him

The moment the scream escapes her lips another gunshot rings out and that is of Scar’s bullet piercing in Alphonsi’s arm.

The hold Raffaele has on Bella’s waist tightens for just a second, his eyes getting clouded over.

After the terrified scream had escaped her lips she gasped softly before raising her trembling hands to touch Raffaele.

The pain, she waits for it to come while slightly shutting her eyes as she prepares herself for the pain but nothing comes.

And that is when she feels it, Raffaele’s tight hold on her waist slowly becomes weak and as she feels his heavy breath which is then transferred to her ear and hitting the skin of her neck she opens her eyes slowly.

"Ra..Raff..Raffaele" Bella stutters in disbelief, her hand moving up quickly to hold the hand which is slowly slipping from her waist.

He stares deep into her eyes, his deep orbs carrying its intensity that is in every and set on staring right into her soul.

Maybe she expected some kind of emotion to be in his gaze but at that moment his expression only softens when it lands on her.

Slowly like a huge building about to collapse his body starts lowering.

Bella gasps trying to hold onto him but he proves strong and heavy for his huge frame.

Draven and Angel rush towards them their expression marrying concern as Draven shoots orders to his men there.

Before long, Alphonsi and his men are being captured and the arrival of an ambulance is heard.

They quickly move him outside and throughout his gaze remains fixed on Bella’s face with his huge hand clasped tightly around hers refusing to let go.

Tears fell down her eyes at the sight of Raffaele in such a condition with blood gushing out of his body.

Each tear unknown to her is precious to Raffaele as for him they are Pearl’s which shouldn’t be wasted for such matters.

"Don’t cry baby" Raffaele says, tightening his hold on hers and Bella is shocked by how strong his voice is.

Angel is also there crying as she insists on calling Emiliano to inform him of their brother not even caring about the kidnap or anything that has to do with it.

He is placed on a stretcher and put in the ambulance with a worried Bella beside him.

Not only Bella but also the nurses present in the ambulance are shocked when Raffaele suddenly sits up.

"Pl..Please lie down" Bella stutters in tears as she attempts to help him lie down but he wraps his arms around her waist and pulls her body closer to his.

"Raffaele" Bella calls out in horror, staring at the face of the man who has a cheeky smile.

"Sir you need to relax" The nurse says in a hesitant voice as he attempts to detach Bella from him.

Raffaele growls and shifts with her still in his arms but stops as a groan escapes his lips from the pain.

The pain however is nothing compared to the happiness he is currently feeling in his heart.

Seeing Bella so worried about him tugs at his heart and suddenly different thoughts fill his head.

’If she is this worried about an injury then maybe he should get injured frequently’ That is what runs in his head at that moment as he pulls her body closer.

"You are worried about me" He whispers in her ear with a small smile tilting against his lips, a small coat of sweat forming on his forehead.

"You took a bullet for me" Maybe it sounds cliche but it always did for her when she read it in books or watched movies where things like this occur but now witnessing it and being the one for whom a bullet was taken she cannot help but feel new emotions threatening to burst through.

Raffaele stares at her hoping his eyes conveyed just how much he felt for her, how meaning his love and obsession is for her and the heights he would go just for her.

She stares at him, her own gaze filled with confusion and at that moment she cannot help but think and ask herself.

’Just how much he loves her’ how deep his love is for him to take such a drastic step without thinking twice.

"I’ll do it all over again and more baby" Raffaele says, his voice still lowered as that small smile refuses to leave her face as he gazes at her.

"Pl..Please just rest till the bullet is removed" Bella pleads, trying to stop her body from pressing against his wounds to prevent him from any sort of future pain.

But it all seems impossible as Raffaele presses her body closer to his, so close that she can feel the sticky red liquid which is blood staining her and sleeping right into her dress.

"Only if you’d stay close" Raffaele says, his voice sounding unlike him and Bella, seeing the determined gaze, finds herself nodding her head.

At her approval he places a gentle kiss on her forehead and when he pulls away he glares at the nurses who are currently intimidated by the man.

A nurse steps forward intending to apply first aid but a glare from Raffaele is enough for her to look at Bella for help.

Bella looks back at Raffaele and notices how his eyes are slightly unfocused and how he is rapidly blinking.

Due to his blood loss, the stubborn man’s body is going weak and succumbing to the world of darkness but Raffaele tries hard to fight against it.

His grip on her tightens for a moment before it loosens and the words which his eyes have been conveying to her spills put subconsciously.

"I love you Bella" It echoes through the air and the sincerity and emotion in that sentence has the other occupants gazing at Bella with different emotions.

Admiration because they wonder how such a man has fallen victim to love.

Awe from how even when unconscious his grip remains on her and is unwavering

And envy because they aren’t sure if any person will ever love them the way Raffaele loves Bella.

After driving for some time they get to the hospital and it becomes a little problem for them to detach Bella from Raffaele and it only becomes possible when Emiliano who was already waiting with an anxious face helps.

Bella is pulled away and instantly his hand shoots out in a silent yearning for her warmth against him.

"Baby"

"Bella" Those are the two words he keeps un chanting while violently shaking and Bella quickly rushes towards him and places her hands on his cheeks to cup his face.

"I am here" Even in a state of unconsciousness when her voice reaches him he finds himself feeling completely at peace and serene.

A small almost unnoticeable smile makes his way to his lips as he now remains still.

He is willed into the emergency room and Bella is asked to wait outside.

Bella sits on the chair set out there and just when the first rows of tears fall the sobbing sound beside her makes her attention to divert.

She has been so lost in her thoughts that she hasn’t even registered the presence of the others in the waiting hall.

Angel is seated close to her with hunched shoulders and a trembling figure as tears fall out of her eyes.

A new wave of tears instantly appears in her eyes and Bella moves swiftly before wrapping her arms around Angel and silently they cry.

Draven watches them feeling slightly uncomfortable at the sight of his fiancee crying but all ways are lost for him on how to properly console her.

He watches how they hug each other pouring out their sorrows and his gaze moves to Emiliano who is standing in a corner on a phone call.

He can see how tense he also is and from the amount of time Emiliano has run his hand through his hair one can tell just how anxious and scared he is.

This is not the first time Raffaele has been injured and he knows it isn’t the last given their line of work but the thought of losing someone precious has always been scary.

After ending the phone call with their father who makes him promise not to tell his mom and Bella’s mom as they would both freak out, he ends the call and makes his way back to where the girls are sitting while still sobbing.

Sighing to himself he walks towards them and envelops them both in his arms.

"Drama queens, Hollywood is missing out on amazing actresses" He says trying to lighten the atmosphere and it works a bit as Bella hits his shoulder playfully while Angel lets out a his as she stops the small smile trying to make itself possible.

"AnD besides Raffaele is not dead yet" He says and instantly the amusing expression on their faces is gone.

Just as they part their lips say something the doctor steps out.

"I’M SORRY....."​
