Crowned love

Episode 10 Being with him

I was woken up by a terrible pain in my hand and head. When I opened my eyes, I saw the first rays of sunlight piercing through the blinds. In an instant, I remembered what happened yesterday and I sighed. I got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower, when I saw myself reflected in the mirror, I froze. My face looked even worse than yesterday, it was swollen and some scratches were accompanied by bruises. What am I going to do now? All this would not heal in a week, and I couldn't hide at home any longer. I had my responsibilities. I wanted to cry but I knew it would only worsen my condition, so I stepped into the shower and felt relieved as the cool water ran down my body. I stood for such a good few minutes when I heard a soft knock on the door.

-Amelia is me, Anna, are you okay?- I heard a soft voice behind the door and I groaned. Oh my God I was so tired yesterday that I forgot to call her and let her know what happened. She should know, there is not only my friend, but also my agent.

- Yes, everything is OK, I will leave in a moment and we will talk-.

-No problem, I'll make coffee and wait for you in the kitchen.I smiled. She knew that without coffee in the morning, I'm like a zombie and you can't talk to me

-Thanks, I will be there soon.- I have to get medication from the doctor, it may ease my suffering a little.

I went downstairs to the kitchen and saw Anne, Alex and John sitting at the table. She probably had already asked them a hundred questions, so she knows what happened, maybe and well, I will not have to do the same thing again in my memory. Yesterday, Marco asked me to tell him everything in detail and I didn't want to come back to it again. I saw that he was touched by the whole thing and he was worried about me. He was very protective and caring. He sat by my bed until I fell asleep and assured me a million times that I was safe now and I would never be hurt again. It was nice that someone cared for me so much.

-Good morning everyone,- I said and poured myself some coffee. I tried not to show how much my hand and head hurt.

-Hello dear, how are you feeling? I heard what happened and I was terribly worried about you. - I could see the sadness in her eyes.

-Everything is really good and I am sorry that I did not call yesterday. When we returned home I was very tired and fell asleep quickly - I tried to explain.

-I understand, don't worry about it. Marco called me and told me what happened-I almost choked on my coffee, he even thought about it, and how did he have a phone number for her?

-Really? I didn't know he had your phone number-

-I gave it to him - John stuttered - Mr. Castellino asked yesterday for her number. He also asked me to let him know when you wake up, he will be here soon.

-How is Marco already getting here?

-So I called him as soon as you got up- John seemed to be different and I didn't like it . I didn't want him to feel guilty, he gave me first aid and took me to the hospital. I have to tell them I have no grudge against them and nothing has changed. I still trust him and Alex.

-Okay guys-I turned to my bodyguards- I want you to know that what happened was not your fault and I do not blame you. I still trust you and I want you to protect me? I do not know what Marco said to you, but I will not change it.

-Do not worry, we will continue to protect you. We will appreciate your care and sincerity. We just decided with Mr. Castellino that the two of us will be with you everywhere and accompany you and, if the need arises, we will double the security - saying that Alex nodded my head and went outside and John with him.

-Amelia, I am so glad that you are safe and healthy-Anna smiled and hugged me a little, probably afraid that too strong a hug would hurt me

-I am also glad to see you. My hand and head hurt a bit, but I am about to take pills for the pain and it should be fine. My face worries me more. I have a week off, but you know that my appearance is my showcase? I took two pain killers and drank some water, I hope it will work quickly.

-Don't worry about the job. When I found out what happened, I wanted to call the main board and ask them for a day off for you, but Marco had already arranged it. He told me that you should not worry about it, you will come back when you get better and then you will make up for everything-.

-Jesus, he really did it all for me? -I couldn't believe that he could try so hard.

-Well, as you can see, he must depend on you-she looked at me and added in a low voice-, besides, you know what he really does, so hardly anyone would refuse him-.

I was curious if Marco was using his position as mafia boss to get things done. I already knew that he could be adamant and arouse fear with his attitude, and his name evoked respect.

I heard the doorbell and guessed it was him. I was curious how he would react to my sight. I didn't put on my makeup today because I wanted my face to heal faster, my hair was tied into a ponytail and I was wearing loose tracksuits. Today I wasn't the beautiful woman he usually got to see.

Marco strode into the kitchen confidently and lowered his gaze at me. He was watching me as if he wanted to check my mood.

-Good morning, my beauty, how are you today?-. He came and kissed me slightly on the cheek. I smelled his citrus scent and I sighed. I liked the way he smelled and the way he looked at me.

-Now it's better today, thank you. Anna made me a coffee, so I woke up-pointed at my friend and he seemed to notice her and nodded her head to greet her-

-Hi Anna, nice to see you-.

Hello Marco, thank you for letting me know about her yesterday's accident-she looked at him first, then at me.

-I thought that Amelia would not have the head so I decided to turn her off-for him it was an obvious idea.

Anna smiled under her breath and stood up.

-I am going to get together. I have a few things to do. My dear, when you need something just give me a call and I will come tomorrow.- My best friend gave me a kiss on the cheek and she headed for the door.

When the door closed behind her, I turned and ran straight into Marco.

-How are your hand and head? Are you still in a lot of pain? - he was watching me carefully as if he wanted to check if I would lie

- In the morning I was in a bit of pain so I took my medication, but now it is better - my head started to spin, but it was rather his closeness that affected me like that.

-You should rest. Today my housekeeper will come to you and will take care of the house and will cook for you so that you can heal quickly.

-Marco, I am very grateful to you for everything you have done for me, but you don't have to send anyone here. I can really handle it, I can always order something - I felt so awkward that he helped me so much.

-No way and nothing more to say,- he raised his hand in protest.

-I promised you that I would take care of you, so do not refuse me-I was already opening my mouth to add something more, but he grabbed my sore hand and kissed me lightly. Then he looked at my face and inspected it very closely. I frowned.

-You are in pain,- he asked, and he stroked my cheek gently.

-No, but you can see how I look now, without makeup and with bruises - I looked down.

He took my chin and made me look at him.

-Amelio, you are the most beautiful woman I know. It doesn't matter to me your bruises. Of course, I wish you didn't have to go through all of this, but my feelings for you haven't changed. On the contrary, they are even stronger.-Jesus, how handsome he is, and when he spoke to me like that, he looked and touched my knee, bent under me. I felt a blush on my cheeks and a tightness in my lower abdomen.

-I heard from Anna that you dealt with my case related to the competition. They gave me a break? -I asked.

He sigh.

-Yes, yesterday I told them that you had an accident and you need to recover. Of course, I said that the press can't find out about anything, you don't have to worry about it.

-Thank you, how will I repay you for all this?

-Do not thank you. I am glad that I can be close to you. I will take care of you. I want to get to know you better and spend time with you. If you feel better, we will go somewhere together, just me and you-not asked, but stated. Well, he was used to not being against him. I don't like to obey orders, but in this case I liked it.

Then I remembered something else.

-Marco and what is this guy from the park?- I knew he was still there somewhere and he was hunting for me.

-We probably have traces that we are still checking. I guess he had to watch you and he knew what you were going to do, but don't worry anymore, he won't be able to surprise us anymore. He's not as anonymous as before, it's just a matter of time before we get there. -

-I guess I won't be completely calm until you don't catch him-I really had enough of this uncertainty.

-We will hit the bastard. I talked to your bodyguards and they know what to do. Now you should lie down and rest. Sleep is the best way to regenerate. I have a few meetings in the city, then I will stop by and we can have dinner. What do you say? - he asked and I was happy. I liked being in his company.

-Sure, I would love to see you tonight-

-Sleep sweet my love- he came and kissed my forehead very gently and then left. And I dreamed about a handsome man who wanted to protect me from all the evil of this world.
