In Love With The Mafia's Wife

CHAPTER 8 – The kind words I needed

Olivia’s POV

Hurt and despair filled me when I thought about my mom. She was the first and last sweet thing that ever happened in my life. All I could do was pray that she would be born as a future queen in her next birth, for she deserved to have a comfortable life. Mom was so kind and generous that I believed even angels would worship her because of her golden heart. She tolerated every single sorrow that was inflicted on her without showing it to the outside world.

There was a lot to learn from her character. I wanted to show her the world, to give her a better life, and walk with her hand-in-hand into a luxury hotel. But, everything was gone and my reality was different. Even though it was hard, I had to face my reality. The only bright side was that my most horrible days were over, thanks to the stranger who killed Fedrick.

“How are you feeling now, Ma’am?” the doctor asked as soon as he entered the room while preparing his stethoscope.

“Doctor, I hope that you are aware that I am not in a good condition. I have hypoglycemia and I haven’t eaten anything in days,” I explained despite being dizzy.

Picking up my wrist to check my pulse, the doctor looked at me with confusion, “How do you know such terms, Ma’am?”

“I was a medical student years ago,” I said, disappointment lacing my voice.

The doctor checked my pulse and his forehead furrowed in seriousness. Then, he proceeded to check my heartbeat as well as my eyes.

“Hmmm….I see. Mr. Gabriel, she needs rest, not just physically but also mentally. My recommendation is whatsoever you were planning to discuss with her, put them aside for now. Don’t feed her anything except a glass of milk. She needs to digest food slowly. Her stomach has adapted to stay empty, so you would need to feed her slowly. I will also prescribe some vitamins and medicine, so, make sure she eats them accordingly with her meals. As for her food, I will prepare a suitable meal plan,” the doctor explained to him.

“How long will it take for her to recover?” he asked desperately.

What a jerk! He doesn’t care about my health but rather, is just running after some information that I don’t know. Grumbling underneath my breath, I cursed him even with my woozy state of mind.

“Perhaps it might take another week, depending on her strength and recovering capability,” the doctor replied while writing a prescription.

“Come on, Doc! Just give her an injection to boost her energy or something. Just do something, anything! Or else, I will blow your fuc*ing head off!” he barked at the doctor while waving a gun in front of his face.

My eyes widened with shock when I saw him holding a gun. After everything I had gone through, I was fed up with guns and all the bad vibes of the world. I thought that I was finally safe in a peaceful place and most importantly, I believed that the person who saved me was someone better than Fedrick.

“N…nooo…please…” I begged with my weak, shaky voice.

“Sir, you are making her afraid which is not good for her. If she gets a panic attack with her current condition, it would be critical to her health and her life. You know that this is something out of my hands. There are things that we can control and things we can’t, this is one of those things that I can’t control. You know that if I can do something about it, I would have already done so. So, there is no point for you to pull the trigger on me,” the doctor replied and the stranger slammed his gun on the table in frustration.

I felt safe after he withdrew his gun and returned it to its holster. But, his fury still rattled me. The man looked at me while gritting his teeth. He was like a raging bull, huffing and puffing as his nostrils flared in absolute anger.

“These are the vitamins and tablets she needs. Give it to her as prescribed with a glass of milk.” The doctor passed the prescription slip to the man and prepared to stand up from the bed. It was at that point that I remembered that I forgot to tell him about the pain I had in my lower private part. It was the reason why I couldn’t walk to the bathroom.

“Doctor, there is one more thing. My lower private part is in tremendous pain. It is so bad that I couldn’t walk to the bathroom. Instead, he had to carry me.” I pointed to the stranger, whose name I believed was Gabriel.

The doctor sighed and nodded his head. “In that case, I need to examine it, Ma’am. But, only if you are comfortable—”

“No, she is not! How dare you examine her private parts! You are a male doctor and you—” Gabriel turned to look at me with his reddened face.

“Don’t you have any shame? Are you going to just parade your private parts to a man? A few minutes ago you were embarrassed to see me shirtless, and now, suddenly, you want a man to examine your feminine parts!” he blurted out, all at once. His voice was like thunder and it echoed through the room. The doctor and I exchanged confused looks with each other as well as with Gabriel.

What the hell is wrong with him? I am showing it to a doctor. As a previous medical student, I know that this doctor has seen these things before in his life. It is not lust nor am I doing something s****l for him to bark like this!

“What the hell are you talking about? I am not going to sleep with him! This is between a doctor and a patient. Doctors do not have wrong intentions when it comes to their patient’s wellbeing, so you don’t need to bark like this,” I retorted, rolling my eyes at him. His jaw clenched and his fists shook with anger. I realized that perhaps I was a bit harsh in the way I spoke to him and that too, under his roof.

“How dare you talk to me like that? Don’t you know who am I, woman?” He walked toward me by keeping his heavy, long strides until he stood right next to me. My head began spinning terribly and I started feeling like I was going to faint.

“Ple…ase, I am…I can’t…” I mumbled incoherently.

The doctor tried coming in between us, “Sir, please. You are forgetting how critical her health is.”

“Listen, I don’t care if you are a doctor and if she is just a patient to you, I am saying this one last time. She will be checked by a nurse and no man is allowed to touch her.” Gabriel gritted his teeth. Soon, his threatening voice started drifting away.

“Nurse, quickly examine her. We will stay outside,” the doctor finally said.

“No. I am not going anywhere. I don’t trust anyone at this point. So, you can stay outside.” His voice was demanding and rough.

Why is he so stubborn for such a simple thing? He is behaving like I am his wife or girlfriend. I was someone else’s wife and just because he saved me, it doesn’t mean that my life belongs to him or that he can take any decision regarding my life.

“Ma’am, may I check your lower part?” the nurse approached me and asked. I only nodded in response since it was hard for me to talk and concentrate anymore.

“Go ahead. But, I need a glass of glucose soon,” I said with great difficulty after a while.

“I will get that for you after this, Ma’am,” she replied kindly and pushed up the duvet which covered my lower body. Then, through the corner of my blurry eye, I noticed him watching me.

“What are you looking at? Turn around and face the wall,” I demanded with my weak and shaky voice. He let out a sharp exhale and turned around, facing his back toward me.

Then, the nurse started to examine my lower part. First, she moved my dress up and looked around closely with her gloved hands. I felt her touching my inner thighs and then finally when she touched my va**na, I screamed out in pain.

“Aaaaah!” At once, Gabriel turned around to us in shock.

“What is it?” His face contorted into a look of concern. I, on the other hand, gulped with shame because my dress was pushed up and my lower part was clearly visible.

“What the f—” I quickly moved my dress down.

“What is it, Nurse?” he asked the nurse as if nothing happened and as if he didn’t see anything. Didn’t he see my lower part? If so, that is good, but I am sure that he did sneak a peek for sure.

“Ma’am, your lower part is badly hurt. It has bruises just like you do all over your body,” she revealed with a gloomy face.

That bas**rd didn’t even leave my feminine parts alone. He took revenge on every inch of my body when I refused to sleep with him.

“Are the bruises healing?” I asked with a shaky voice as tears started to prick my eyes.

“Ma’am, I am sorry about what happened to you. As for the wounds, they are healing slowly. You know how sensitive these lower parts are. It seems like they are burn marks, most likely from a cigar!” she explained and my eyes widened with disbelief. I wanted to throw up with disgust. Yes, I remembered back when I was holding my breath, tolerating his torture while he smoked a cigar calmly. I couldn’t recall much, but I assumed that after I collapsed, he burned my lower part to release his anger. What a psycho!

“What? Can’t you do something to help her feel better? I know the wounds on her body are slowly healing. However, her sensitive parts should heal faster. If not, germs can infect her body,” he reminded the nurse.

“I have to clean the wounds and redress them, but unfortunately, it will be intolerably painful for her.” The nurse’s words made me gulp in fear and my throat ran dry.

“Do whatever you can, but I can’t allow the doctor to do it. So, I hope you have experience in wound dressing,” he said.

“No, no! Please! It will s... lowly get better when I have my vitamins and food enters my system,” I begged with terror. I had enough pain and I could take no more.

“Listen, you have to endure this pain, otherwise your life will be in danger.” Gabriel sat on the bed next to me and scanned my face with his icy-blue eyes.

“No, no…I can’t endure any more pain, please. I will not bother you, I will walk to the bathroom by myself, but I can’t do this. I can’t tolerate any more pain,” I pleaded through my cries.

“Nurse, I will handle her. You start to dress her wounds,” he insisted. While the nurse prepared to begin, he held my hands and pinned them to the bed.

“No, please! For god’s sake, listen to me! I can’t, I will die!” I screamed at the top of my lungs. I hiccupped, sobbed, and begged for them to understand my pain.

“Shhh…. please let her do this. Your pain will be there for a little while and after that, you will feel better.” He nuzzled my neck and whispered soothing words in my ear. His voice and words were like snowfall on fire, rain in a desert, and a sip of water for someone who had been thirsty for days.

It was like I was floating in the air. Soon, I started to feel the burning sensation of the medicine applied by the nurse, but his hot breath and his kind words took me to another dimension. All the men I knew in my life tortured me. First my dad, and then Fedrick as well as his gang members. All of them were bloodthirsty vampires! I didn’t know about Gabriel and I didn’t care. All I felt at that moment was that someone was there for me, to take care of me.

After a while, I started to see black spots and I felt my mind sway into unconsciousness.

“Sleep now, you will feel better soon!” That was the set of words I wanted to hear and soon after, I shut my eyes tightly.
