My Psycho Mafia Lover

His Act

It has been two days since that incident. Rose didn't utter a word. She always seemed lost and kept staring in space emotionlessly. She was becoming too weak and pale. James used to come to check up on her. He gave her injections so that she can sleep soundly. It was for the betterment of her weak state. He told Xavier that she is in a temporary trauma but there is nothing to get worried about.

But Xavier was becoming restless. He used to spend time with her 24/7. He didn't leave the house for two days at all. He always tried to talk to her but she never responded to him.

*****

Two days later

At 9:00 p.m.

Xavier entered the room with a tray of food. He looked at Rosaline and found her sitting on the couch next to the window. His heart ached as he saw her staring outside the window like a lifeless soul. Her eyes were empty and her face was blank.

Xavier slowly placed the tray on the table and walked toward her. He stroked her hair softly but she didn't respond. Xavier then sat beside her and held her hand.

"Baby?", he spoke softly.

No response

His heart turned heavy with remorse. He squeezed her hand and started sobbing.

"I am very sorry my Rosebud, I know I shouldn't have done that. I know I am an asshole b-b-but it's just that I love you very much. I know I kept you in dark for years and hid my real self from you but Baby, I was afraid...afraid that you'll leave me. You'll get scared of me knowing that I am not the cute Xavier whom you love so much but a dangerous mafia who is the boss of the most powerful and cruel gang in the underworld. You would have run away from me", he spoke in a broken voice. Rosaline still didn't respond to him.

"You know Rose, I don't have anyone except you in this world. After Dad handed me this empire, a few days later he got shot by the rival gang"

Rosaline became shocked after hearing his words. She looked at him with wide eyes.

"Yeah, I lied to you about his death also. It wasn't an accident", he confessed while lowering his head. Rosaline glared at him. Her blood boiled in anger.

How many lies he had told her? How much he had hidden from her and is still hiding? Rosaline felt like a fool falling for a liar and a cheater.

She harshly jerked her hand away from his hold but Xavier hugged her immediately. She kept struggling and pushing him but he started crying while hugging her tightly.

"Please forgive me. I love you very much, Rose. I also apologize for killing your friend Nick but I couldn't help myself when I saw you running away with him. I got scared...scared that he will take you away from me. But still, I shouldn't have done that. I am very sorry. Please forgive me, baby. I won't be able to live without you...I will never hurt you I promise...I am sorry Baby", Xavier started bawling her eyes out as he sobbed like a child.

Rosaline's P.O.V.

Hearing Xavier crying like a baby in my embrace brought tears to my eyes. I was very angry at him for what he had done but hearing his sincere apologies made my heartache in pain. He was acting like the boy with whom I had fallen in love. I forgot that he is the same ruthless mafia who had killed my friend and acted like a monster toward me. I was very angry and scared of him but I also love him very much. I broke the hug gently and cupped his face wiping off the tears.

"Xavier, I also love you so much. But promise me you'll never hurt anyone nor kill anyone. I'll forgive you only on one condition", I spoke sternly.

His eyes glistened with joy. He cupped my face and chirped, "What? I'll do any-"

'Leave your mafia empire."

Xavier became shocked by my words. He slowly removed his hands from my face and looked down.

"Rose, I can't leave it", he whispered sadly. His reply made me upset. Xavier looked up, he noticed the disappointment on my face. He then held my hands tightly and spoke while staring into my eyes deeply.

"But I promise not to do any illegal stuff from now on. I'll work only for the betterment of society. I will do all the good deeds through my business like how you wished​."

My eyes sparkled in joy hearing his words. I immediately hugged him "Thanks Xavier. I know you'll change", I smiled. Xavier broke the hug and cupped my face.

"First promise me you will forgive me", he scowled. I chuckled as he was looking like an angry little kid.

"I forgive you. I love you very much", I pinched his cheeks. He smiled.

"And I love you more than anyone in this world"

I started crying out of happiness. Xavier wiped my tears and kissed me deeply. I responded. We then stared into each other's eyes lovingly.

Xavier then made me eat the food and helped me in taking my medicines. He then laid me down on the bed. He also lay beside me and wrapped me in his arms while placing my head on his chest. His one hand was wrapped around my waist and his other hand was caressing my hair softly. I also wrapped my hands around his waist. After some time my eyelids turned heavy and then I drifted off to my dreamland.

End of Rosaline's P.O.V.

Xavier looked at Rosaline who was sleeping soundly beside him. He smiled and held her right cheek as he caressed it softly.

But all of a sudden, his gaze darkened. He started smiling creepily...

"Finally I got you back, Rose"

"His love knows no bounds and limits...No rights or wrongs...No rules or regulations...All it knows is how to keep her by his side forever...Either by Hook or Crook"
