His Redemption

Chapter 8: Regret

Valentino Romano's POV

I stormed into my cabin and called in my PI. "Y-yes B-boss" he stuttered. I walked towards him in anger as he shook in fear. I punched him across the face as he stumbled back in shock. "You said she was his daughter, are you sure about that?" I said coldly as I glared at him and grabbed his collars in rage. 

"S-s-sir I don't know, I-I just know that she lives in his h-h-house, so I t-t-thought she would be his d-daughter" he said in fear and tears in his eyes. I glared at him and smashed his head into the wall making him shout in pain. 

"Go and find out who she is, I want you back in 1 hour" I ordered him coldly as he nodded quickly and ran out of the door. I breathed heavily as I leaned my forehead against the wall. "Please don't let it be her, please" I whispered. 

I looked back the painting and could see the resemblance between the two girls. I am so desperate to find my dove but if this girl is my dove then I don't what I will do to myself. How could I hurt an innocent girl. I will kill my PI if I find out this girl is innocent. 

I walked out of my cabin and into her room. The female doctor cleaned the girl's wounds up. She was laying on her stomach as her back was wrapped with bandages. I felt guilt and regret doing this to her. "She is very weak and needs a lot of rest, make sure she takes these medications and make sure she eats and drinks a lot" she told me. I thanked her and told one of my men to walk her out. 

I sat on the bed near the girl and tucked her hair behind her ear. Just then my PI barged into the room breathing heavily. "B-B-BOSS" he said in shock and fear. I glared at him and walked with him outside the room. "You came quite fast" I said sarcastically. 

He gulped as tears fell out of her eyes. "S-sir, s-she is not his real daughter, L-leonardo is her step father, I overheard Leonardo saying he is glad that the b-b***h has gone". My hands fisted in anger as my heart froze. 'What have I done', I thought to myself. 

I punched my PI and took my revolver shooting him in the forehead. Because of this shithead I hurt an innocent girl. I walked back into her room and sat beside her. I kissed her cheek as I stroked her hair. "I am so sorry" I whispered in her ear. A tear fell out of my eyes for hurting her when she had no fault in my revenge. 

She was unconscious for 4 hours until I heard a whimper. I quickly looked at her as I saw her silently crying due to the pain. I felt guilt and regret for what I did to her. I rushed towards her but she flinched at my touch which hurt me. "S-s-stay a-away from me" she stuttered. I know she was a strong girl but I had hurt and now she was scared of me. I felt hurt seeing her afraid of me, I didn't want her to fear me but it was my fault.

She slowly helped herself as she turned around sitting up wincing at the pain which made me wince as well. Her  eyes looked up at me with a hurt expression. She then looked down to my chest as her eyes widened. I was confused to see her like that. She kept staring at my chest so I looked down and saw my necklace hanging around my neck. My heart pumped fast as I slowly looked back at her. 

"W-who are y-you?" she whispered. I couldn't answer as I looked at her in tears and regret. f**k f**k f**k, how could I do this, how could I do this to my own dove. I fisted my hand as I screamed "AHHHHH" I punched the wall repeatedly again and again in anger. "I-It's y-you, from the s-s-streets" she muttered in shock. I turned around with red eyes that were filled were tears. I strode towards her engulfing her in a tight hg as I nuzzled my nose into her neck. "I-I am s-so so sorry my dove, I am so sorry" I repeatedly said to her. 

She winced in pain so I moved back a bit. I held her face with my palms as I wiped her tears with my thumbs. "I am so f*****g sorry my dove, I am so sorry. I-I thought you were his daughter and-" I gritted my teeth in anger thinking about him. He took my mother away from me and now the love of my life. She moved her face out of my hands and glared at me "Don't touch me" she spat in disgust. 

I moved towards her but she moved back making me stop. I felt like my heart was ripped opened. All those years I was trying to find the love of my life and now that I finally met her, I nearly killed her with my own f*****g hands. No wonder she affected me so much because she was my dove, my saviour.

 I was so angry and disgusted with myself. I stormed out of the room and into the same cell I chained her in. I took off my shirt, picking up my whip I whipped my back several times wanting to feel the same pain she did. I whipped as hard as I could gritting my teeth. 

I have finally found my dove and I am never going to let her go. I will beg for her forgiveness, I will never let anyone or myself hurt her ever again. I looked at my necklace she gave me and kissed the crystal. 

"I love you my little dove"
