Heart of the Mafia King

Mind and Body

{Maisie’s POV}

I nodded, smiling up at him, “I’m sure Angelo, I’m not afraid of anything, as long as you’re with me.” I grabbed his hand, rubbing his knuckles softly. “So please, please, don’t run away from me..”

“I’d never run away from you.” He said, standing up and leaning over me. “The only way that I will ever leave you alone, is if you tell me that you don’t want to be with me, or don’t want me around.” He kissed my forehead softly.

“Why would I ever do a crazy thing like that?” I asked smirking up at him, I grabbed his collar, pulling him closer to me so I could kiss him. His lips pressed against mine made me feel so much better, even just having him close to me this way was enough for me to feel whole again.

“Ahem..” I heard Margo clearing her throat, before she giggled.

I pulled away, turning to face the window away from the two of them, feeling a blush creep across my face. “Is this a bad time?” Silas’ voice broke through the fits of giggles coming from Margo.

I turned back around as Margo walked him to my beside. He was in a wheelchair, with both of his legs, and his right arm in a cast. He wore a back brace, and every move he made looked like it cause him pain. “Silas! How are you feeling? Is everything healing alright?” I asked, scanning my eyes over him.

“I’ve felt better, that’s for sure, but I also feel better than I did a few days ago when I first woke up. I’ve been wanting to talk to you, the doctor said that you were a huge help when it came to saving my life. My family also told me that they’ve been renovating some of the rooms in the house for me, and my recovery. That you gave them the idea, and told them that you’d help me in any way that you can.” He said, smiling softly at me.

I nodded. “I did.. I just want to make sure that your recovery is handled properly.. I know how hard it is..” I said, before he cut me off.

“How could you possibly know how hard this is? I’ve lost the ability to walk! The ability to do things for myself! I can’t even go to the bathroom without having someone help me! This is the worst pain I’ve ever been in, in my entire life! You don’t know anything about this, and I don’t want your help! I’ve been trying to think of what to say to you for days.. but I wish that you’d never helped me!” He shouted, grabbing his wheel with his left hand and turning himself around. “I wish you would have just let me die!” He cried out, “Margo, take me back to my room!” He shouted, and Margo pushed him out into the hallway, motioning for someone to come get him.

“Silas, you can’t mean that..” she said, but he just shrugged her off.

Soon Marco came and got Silas wheeling him back to his room, she came back into my room. “Im so sorry Maisie! I didn’t know that he was going to say something like that! He’s just upset, I’m sure that he didn’t mean it!”

“Margo, it’s fine.. if anything we need to focus more on Silas now. He needs to feel loved, and safe now more than ever. I understand where he’s coming from, being unable to care for yourself is miserable, but it’ll get better, I promise.” I said softly, smiling over at Angelo. “Maybe you should go spend some time with your brothers, and your father. I’ll be right here when you come back!” I smiled, placing my hand on top of his.

“Maisie.. I don’t..” he began, but I cut him off.

“No, no, no Angelo. Your family needs you right now, so go ahead and try to help your brothers. They’ve all been through a lot this week.” I pulled his hand up, kissing the back of it. “Go on, it’ll give me some more time to rest, I’m kind of tired.”

“I.. fine..” he said, standing from his chair, and walking out of the room, making it to the hall. “Margo, will you stay with her until I get back.

“Of course I will.” She said, sitting down where Angelo had been sitting before.

“Okay, I’ll be back soon Maisie, get some rest..” he said, “Thank you bambina.” He nodded to Margo, before he turned, leaving us alone in the room.

I turned to Margo who was watching me, looking ad though she were about to explode with excitement. “What?” I asked, unable to stop the smile that spread across my face.

“You and my brother have really hit it off huh?” She asked, smirking and wiggling her eyebrows over at me.

I nodded. “I think we have.. but I worry.. Marco doesn’t trust me, nor does he seem to want me around.. and now Silas is angry with me..” I sighed. “I get it, I really do.. when I couldn’t walk, I was so angry.. I wanted the doctors to just let me die, and I wished that Robert had just kil*** me like he wanted to.. It was a painful recovery, and it didn’t help that even the people that were hired to help me were unkind to me. They saw the way that Robert treated me.. and decided it was okay to also detest me.. I went through a lot because of one man’s hatred.. I just hope that Silas can begin to heal, and feel better, not only on the outside, but on the inside. When he begins to heal his body, I hope that he’ll allow me to help him heal his mind too..”
