The Shark Mafia Boss

Chapter 11 - The Hospital

Olivia POV

I walk into a black SUV, I sit in the back and I put my head against the window and I let myself feel bad.

“Why? Why does he have to be such a dick? One moment he is sweet, and holds me, and protects me,

the other he is distant and cold”- I think to myself

I see NY pass by the window and when I notice we are in front of my building, I gather my things and

when I get ready to open the door, the door is opened from the outside.

“Thanks” – I say looking at the floor

“You are welcome Miss” – he says

I ignore it and open the building door and go towards the lift. When I get to my door and open it and I

step in dropping everything on the floor and I walk towards my bed, that’s when I notice that I am still

wearing his clothes.

I give it a sniff – Oh he smells nice. It is intoxicating.

I grab my phone and throw myself on my bed and I start texting Anna and John.

I tell them about the Gala and the shooting, but I didn’t tell them that was Raphael that killed the men,

they were both worried because of all the news and me not replying to their texts and phone calls. After

they were sure I was fine they said we would go out for a meal tomorrow their treat.

I call my mother and make some small talk, I don’t tell her I was at the gala so she doesn’t worry. We

talk about dad, work and she asks me about my love life and I can’t help but think about Raphael. I

make up an excuse and end the phone call and just stare at the sealing.

I get up going to the kitchen when my stomach makes a lot of noise and once again I forgot to go food

shopping and I honestly can’t be fucked, so I grab a glass of water and an apple that was left and I sit

on the sofa, that’s how I spent my Sunday. Wrapped around his clothes and watching TV.

When I look at the time is 10 pm and I decide to go to bed, maybe I will die in my sleep and save

myself from this tedious life.

I fall asleep and obviously I have a nightmare.

That man is grabbing me against the wall but this time I am naked, Raphael was there but he was just Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

looking, he had anger in his eyes.

“Raphael help please” – I cried

He looked at me and smiled, I hoped he would come and save me, but no, he didn’t move.

The man started to kiss my neck and caress my breasts and tried to fight him, but he was stronger than

me, then I heard him say “I’m gonna fuck you now, and he is going to watch” and when he says that I

wake up.

I am covered in sweat, I am shaking. I look at the alarm clock and it’s 5 am.

I get up and go to the kitchen to get a glass of water, I drink it and I decide there was no point in going

back to sleep as my alarm would go through in 1 hour.

I walk to the bathroom and I turn the shower on, while the water gets warm I brush my teeth, when I

finish I walk into the shower and I let my body relax under the hot water.

I wash my long hair and my body with my coconut shampoo and body wash.

I get out and I moisturise my body and do my skin routine, I apply a simple make up, as I am not very

good at it, just some mascara and some pink Kylie cosmetics lip gloss.

I go to my room and decide to wear a black pencil skirt that goes to my knees, stockings that end on

my thighs, a red button shirt tucked in the skirt, I walk back to the bathroom to do my hair.

I brush my hair back putting it up on a tidy ballerina bun, looking myself in the mirror I can see how tired

I look.

I go back to the bedroom and put on my black blazer to match my skirt. I put on a red pair of stilettos

and walk to the living room grabbing my work folders and my purse

“Shit I forgot to charge my phone” – I say to myself

I grab my keys and walk out, when I look at the time its 7 am, and I decide to walk to the ferry. As usual

I go to the top floor and sit reading a book. When I get to Manhattan I walk to the subway and go

straight to work.

When I get there Lucas is no-where to be seen. First class is only at 9am, so he wouldn’t be in until

8:30 and it is only 8:00.

I sit on my desk starting to look at the files piled up, “great, some more papers to grade” – I say to

myself

I get a hold of the first one and start reading it, and I couldn’t focus, my mind kept going to Raphael.

Why was he so sweet and caring one moment and the other an utter twat? What the fuck is wrong with

him?

As I keep reading the paper Lucas walks in and he seems surprised to see me.

“Hey, are you okay?” – he says stopping in front of my desk

“Good morning, yeah I am fine”

“I am sorry about what happened at the Gala”

My jaw dropped to the floor, fuck did he know what happened?

“I saw Raphael leaving with you on his arms, you were crying, did you see the shooting? I was worried

about you, I tried calling but your phone was off, and I went to your flat but you weren’t there”.

“Oh” – He doesn’t know what happened after all – “yeah I was close by and I think I got into a state of

shock and Raphael took care of me”

His face lost all colour, his eyes get darker

“I am fine though, I forgot to put my phone on charge, I spent the day watching tv yesterday” – I try to

distract him

“I’m glad you are okay, I wouldn’t forgive myself if something would’ve happened to you”

“Was not your fault Lucas” – I smile

“okay, so do you mind getting me a coffee and a muffin from the cafeteria?”

“Yeah sure” – I say getting up from my desk feeling a little dizzy

I leave the office and walk down grabbing his coffee and muffing leaving the bill on his tab and walking

back, I pass by some students in the corridor and I can feel some of them checking me out.

That kind of empowers me but at the same time freaks me the hell out. I only ever had 2 guys in my life

and both ended up cheating on me, so I kind of lost hope on men.

As I am about to get in the office I can hear Lucas shouting, as I can’t hear anyone else I understand

he’s on the phone, I decide to eavesdrop.

“Fuck you Raphael” – I hear him say

“NO, IF I’LL HAVE MY WAY YOU WILL NEVER TOUCH ONE HAIR ON HER HEAD”

What the actual fuck is happening. I decide to go in, so I open the door and I see Lucas’s face bright

red in anger, he is shaking standing behind his desk. I look up at him and get closer putting his coffee

and muffin in front of him. I now this conversation is about me, but he doesn’t know that I know, so I

lightly touch his hand and he smiles at me

“Fuck you, I gotta go” – he says hanging up the phone.

I walk back to my desk and sit reading another paper, and underlining what was wrong.

“Hey, I’m going to give a lecture now, do you mind staying here and keep doing that?” – He asks

shaking his head trying to push away his demons.

“Yeah sure” – I say smiling at him

He leaves and I take off my blazer, I get lost in time grading papers because when I look up Lucas is

back, a lot calmer.

“It’s lunch time, take your break”

Shit I forgot my lunch today. Not like I had anything at home to make lunch anyway. My stomach growls

and I realise it’s been more than 30 hours since I last ate properly. That apple didn’t do much for me.

I look inside my purse but I only had enough money for my weekly shopping and for the subway. So I

decided to go into the teacher’s lounge and grab a cup of coffee.

I finish my coffee while I was reading the New York Times that someone left on the table. I got up and

felt dizzy again but I ignored it, in the middle of the way back to the office I feel myself getting light

headed and the next thing I know I am in the hospital.

I open my eyes and I see Lucas sitting on a chair next to my bed and Tasha standing next to him, he

has his head in between his hands. Tasha is stroking his hair, what the fuck happened? When I turn my

head to look around I see John sitting next to my bed holding my hand.

I try to talk but I can’t. I feel something on my throat and I start to gag. Both their eyes meet mine and

Tasha calls the doctors.

I see relief in Luca’s eyes. What the fuck is happening?
