The Husband

Regrets and Decisions

I opted to taking a time off from the office however, I still had work redirected to my home, especially those that needed to be addressed urgently since I couldn't neglect that, however most of the time I stayed beside Cassandra watching her sleep.

Most of the time I was in her room, sitting on the love-seat next to hers with a table set up and my laptop and a couple of papers on it. I shut my home office away and just moved the table to her room and guarded, watched and longed for her as usual.

My ever growing habit recently was to take her hand and whisper things, telling her how the day went, how I missed her so much, telling her she needs to wake up soon because I am going crazy.

It has been a week since my visit with the Russell's, A month since the "accident". Antoinette has been the main topic of the paparazzi recently. She jumped bar to bar, caught leaving with a boy young enough to be her son

Speaking of her son, Andrew has gone on hiding. He never gave back the jewelries he and his sister of a skank stole, however I had people looking into this matter. Bethany has also been under the radar, either she was keeping lay low or she was hiding just like her brother. Her fianceé is now a fianceé of another, Aleksander was now set on marrying a better woman than Bethany.

On the other hand, last night it was said that Hank Russell was reported to be stealing money from the country and keeping it in his pockets, he was also alleged to be tied with the Mafia because of his Gambling debts.

"You got to wake up soon amore, everything is going according to plan." I kissed the knuckles of her fist, caressing her slender and pale fingers that I loved to hold so much.

People say: you'll never know what you had until you lost it.

That wasn't the case with me, I already knew if I lost Cassandra I would give up everything just to be with her. I am ready to live a life of peace and serenity with her, in our little haven isla cassandra.

"I miss you Cassandra.." I leaned in and placed a kiss on her forehead and lips, her heart monitor spiked up.

Her fingers tightened around mine taking me by surprise, I was over and beyond the moon and stars, she responded! I squeezed them back, shouting at the nurses who were on break to come and check on her. They all rushed in, carting in all the needed things.

"Mr. Sabella, I need to ask for you to please exit the room for now.." A nurse ushered me out and I took a last look at Cassandra before the door shut to my face. I have been pacing back and forth waiting for those nurses to get out and give me the good news I have impatiently waited to hear.

I have called The Langley's to inform them of Cassandra's situation and Darcy was over the moon, she wanted to see Cassandra immediately however she was currently in Russia doing a shoot and meeting with other people. I also informed the rest, like my family.

I waited impatiently, it took all of me not to pound on the door and demanding them to give me answers, because I know doing that won't help with the situation.

I was so deep in thought I did not hear one of the nurses get out and discuss things with the doctor who came not too long ago.

"Mr. Sabella.." The doctor called out and I looked his way, he was smiling a little at me and with just that look I felt the hope in me spike up.

"Is she okay? Does she remember me? Please tell me.. " I took a step on each question, grabbing his shoulders I shook him and stared at him in the eyes, worry and fear written on my face.

He patted my shoulder and smiled wide, before he can even say it, I stormed in the room.

There I saw her sitting up, looking out through the window as the light shone against her, the bandage that covered her forehead made nothing to make me admire her beauty.

She turned to stare at me, I met her beautiful light hazel eyes. Her ever soft brunette hair, cascading down her back like waves.

"Hey.." I smiled painfully and she smiled back sadly, opening her arms she beckoned me to come close.

"Oh God.. I missed you." She muttered, wrapping her arms around me she sobbed on the crook of my neck.

"I love you Cassandra, I am sorry.. I am sorry.." I repeated over and over again.

"I can't... I can never forgive you Logan, you have failed me... You didn't protect me." She whispered in my ear causing me to pull away from her and there I saw her much worse than what she looked like back then, she was bleeding so much, her skin as pale as snow and glass shards protruded everywhere.

She sobbed and covered her face, tears didn't come out.. Just blood.

I screamed and before I knew it I was back on my old position, sitting beside her an holding her hand, She was still unconscious. I fell asleep and I had a dream that she would wake up but it turned to a nightmare...

Did she really blame me for letting this happen to her? Does she really hate me?

Taking her hand near my lips, I pressed a kiss while I looked at her.

"I love you Cassandra.. You know I'd never let anything happen to you, I am really sorry.." I cried once more, in my 33 years of living, I have already cried more than I can count when I was younger but when I got older, crying was never something I did. She came to my life and I already cried 3 times.

When we got married, tears were in my eyes with how beautiful she was and twice when this happened.

My life is miserable without her and God I'll do whatever it takes to have her back in my arms smiling and telling me she loved me.

I had to leave the room, I needed to take a breather as everything turned to a mess. I wanted to confide with someone however, I know he'd bring that up again.

Lighting up a cigar, I reached for my phone and dialed his number, the first ring didn't even take a while before I could hear his voice on the other line.

"Ciao fratello."
