Mafia’s Doctor

Chapter 7: Mari Finds Out

After everyone congratulated us and left. We were back in our room. Without a word, Marco took off his tie and undressed towards to bathroom. Hearing the hot shower turn on. I was able to let go and cry my heart out. I can't believe I was married to him.

I can't believe this is happening to me. What going to happen to my job? Will, he let me go back to work? Will, he let me see my brother and friends.

I could feel a panic attack creeping on me. My body was hurting. I felt like I am being stabbed by tiny needles all over my body. I walked towards the balcony and opened the doors letting the cool air. It was a chilly night the sky was pitch black. Stars light the sky like snowflakes in the night. The full moon bright and beautiful. It looked peace full. The night calmed me made me feel relaxed. It was a chilly night. Wrapping my arms around me I tried to make myself feel somewhat warm as I continued to look at the sky. 

I was oblivious to my surroundings when I felt a presence behind me. Turning I gasped. Marco was standing behind me wet and with a towel that was oh so dangerously low wrapped around his waist.

"What? You forgot I was here " he chuckled.

"No, I just didn't expect you to..." I was interrupted

"Be half-naked" he finished with a smirk.

Scoffing at him I turned back to look at the sky.

"Are you going to stay outside the whole night? It's cold" and on cue, I sneezed, twice.

Waking up the next morning in bed, alone and  I was surprised. I know I slept on the couch. Last night I refused to sleep in the same bed as him, so when I said I was taking the couch all he said was "fine by me" rude ass hole.

So imagine my surprise when I walk up in bed.

Getting up I tried to walk towards the bathroom where I lost my balance from dizziness. Grabbing the bed I tried to steady myself. When I was steady enough I tried to take one step at a time. Reaching the bathroom I did my business. I walked slowly towards my suite case and changing into my tights and an oversized t-shirt.

Hesitantly I opened the door. I was relieved when it opened. Still feeling slightly dizzy I walked towards the stairs into the kitchen. A cup of coffee will surely fix my dizziness.

But I was stopped at the scenery in front of me. Leo was playing Wii with the girl from last night.

"That's right Leo you s**t, you can't win,"  she said comparatively.

"Hey I'm only playing with one arm go easy on me" he simply defended himself.

"Oh hi, " Marco's twin said noticing me.

"My name is Mari, I am Marco's sister," she said extending her hand for me to shake.

Smiling at her kindness I accepted her shake.

"And I am sure you have met Leo," she said gesturing towards him.

"I never got the chance to thank you Doc, you saved my life," Leo said as he gave me a one-arm hug.

"I am glad you are doing better," I said closing my eyes as a new wave of dizziness hit me.

"Whoah Doc, you okay" Leo tried to support me with one arm.

"Yeah I just need coffee and I will be fine " I tried to balance on my own.

Mari extended her hand and placed it on my forehead

"Your burning " she gasped.

"No..I..m fine " is the last thing I said before fainting.

When I opened my eyes I was back in bed only this time with Mari next to me.

"Oh you're awake, here have some water," she said as he tried to help me sit and giving me a bottled watered.

"Thank you," I said and drank half of it.

"I called Marco he should here with the doctor soon," she said

"You still have a fever" she continued

"You don't have to tell him I doubt that he would care " I simply said leaning on the headboard

"What do you mean? He is your husband. He should care" she asked confusion written on her face.

"What? You do know that my marriage was forced " I stated. She looked at me with wide eyes. Sighing I decided to explain to her.

"I saw Marco shoot someone when I was walking home from work; he found me the next day and threatened to kill me then when he found out that my brother is the prosecutor that is after him. He made me marry him, so my brother will leave him alone in exchange for not killing me " I tried to explain the best that I could.

Her next action surprised me. She jumped in for a hug.

"I am so sorry you must have been so terrified" she continued hugging me. At that moment Marco walked in with a Doctor.

Mari pulled away and looked disappointed at her brother. 

"What happened, " Marco asked annoyed.

"She fainted " Mari snapped back. Marco looked at her sister challenging her to speak like that again. She just huffed and stumped away.

Chuckling at her behavior, a wave of nausea hit me. Barely making it to the bathroom I emptied the empty contact in my stomach. Moaning in pain I tried to get up. My body hurt a lot. I felt like crying again.

I didn't know that Marco followed till he lifted me in a bridal style and took me to bed.

"No, stop, I can walk " I protested feeling tired.

Marco gently placed me in the bed. Where the doctor was waiting to examine me. Checking my vitals, listening to my lungs.

"When did you last eat?" he asked.

" I don't know, probably two days ago," I said closing my eyes. I wanted to sleep so bad.

"You are dehydrated and stressed. That's why you got sick, your body needs to rest. Make sure to eat and sleep. You will be fine " the Doctor said looking at Marco, where he nodded.

Meanwhile, I was already half asleep and didn't pay attention to what he said.

"What about her fever, Can you prescribe something,? " Marco said,

"Here have her drink this when her fever spikes. But with food and fluids, she won't have to "the doctor said.

I heard shuffling around and the door closed. Assuming they left. I tried to get more comfortable so I can sleep. When turning to my side I saw Marco was still there. With the medicine in his hand. Letting my head with his other hand he pleased the medicine in his mouth and slowly brought the water to my lips. Placing my head back to bed. I was so tired I wanted to sleep.

"Sleep well mia principessa," he said softly kissing my head.

But I was already out like a light.
