The Shark Mafia Boss

Chapter 50 - Thanksgiving part 2

Raphael POV

I wake up and I blink my eyes twice trying to get them used to the light in the hospital bedroom, I can

hear all the beeping and the machines around me.

I look around and I can’t see anyone. Where is everyone? What happened? I keep still, trying to

remember what happened. I look around and I see the button to press to call the nurse. I try to move

my arm but I get a shooting pain down my spine. Shit.

I move my toes and I take a deep breath, at least I am not paralyzed.

I press the button and not long after two nurses and the doctor walks into the room.

“Raphael, happy to see you awake”

I try to talk but my mouth is dry that I can’t really speak.

“Nurse, give him some water” – the Doctor says

“On the way doctor” – she replies.

The nurse gives me a paper cup with some ice chips and I put some in my mouth making me feel

instantly better. I let out a soft smile thanking her.

“So, Raphael, I need to get a lot of exams done, I will call Joseph and Tim, they’ve been extremely

worried about you”

I nod my head. This is not a position I am used to be, in a bed having someone taking care of me, only

once I’ve been in this situation, the first time I got shot. The second time the doctor came to my

penthouse to extract the bullet. And now this.

Olivia.

The thought of her invades my mind and I look around, what happened to her? I try and sit down but

my back hurts and the doctor tells me to calm down.

With a really low voice as if I was afraid to ask I let out – “Where is Olivia?”

“She is fine, she had some bumps and bruises but she was okay, she is healthy as a horse” – the

doctor says and I let out a breath that I didn’t know I was holding in me.

I nod and offer him a smile.

“I need o take you for some x-rays, CT, and some other exams” – The doctor says

I nod my head and I can see the nurses detaching the machines from my body and someone pushing

the bed out of the bedroom.

I had a battery of exams and everything was normal so I was allowed water and I had the lot. I was

really thirsty and now starting to get hungry.

Was I am taken back to my room I see Joseph and Tim talking while they both sit on the sofa in the

corner of the bedroom.

They both stand up as I am wheeled in.

“Nice to see you awake mate” – Tim says

“Boss” – Joseph says

“Hello boys” – I let out

The doctor and the nurses leave the room giving us some privacy and I look around making sure it was

safe to talk.

“Scott?” – I ask

“In a cell in the hideout” – Joseph replies and I smile, When I get out of here and I get to him he will

regret the day he was born. I will make him suffer so much he will ask me to kill him to end his suffering

and I will make him pay a little more and then I will give him what he wants, a slow and painful death. I

smile to myself.

“Company?” – I look at Tim

“Everything under control mate, Olivia has been looking after things with me” – While he says that I lift

one of my brows – “She is brilliant, she knows what she is doing and she already made you a lot of

money”

“Why is she working?”

“She says she needs the distraction, she can’t be doing nothing, she hasn’t gone back to her job, she

quit, her life is on standby waiting for you to wake up”

I remember those beautiful green eyes looking at me and I am so proud of my girl.

“She has been helping me too” – Joseph says

“Say what?” – I reply

“She is looking after the accounts and money part of the business, she is trying to get everything sorted

for you” – I smile really proud of my girl but I really don’t want her involved with the mafia business.

“Should I call her?” –Tim asks

I shake my head saying no.

“I need to recover a little more, I don’t want her to feel more useless then she is now”

“She is feeling guilty, she says if it wasn’t for her you would be well”

“That’s nonsense” – I say frustrated.

“Is she in the penthouse?”

“Yes, she hasn’t left since she went back, all she does is come visit you and work, she barely eats and

she barely sleeps”

“I want to see her, let me have a look at the security cameras” – I say

Joseph walks towards the bed and gives me his phone. I can see Olivia sitting on the sofa turned to the

tv but the tv is off. She is hugging her legs and she is wearing my clothes. I smile at the sight.

“She’s been like that for hours now” – Joseph says

“Make sure Maria is feeding her” – I say and Joseph nods.

My head starts pounding so I allow my head to rest back against the pillows and I think they got the

hint.

“We will let you rest and we will come back tomorrow” – they both say and I nod.

I shake both their hands and they leave me alone looking at the security cameras on Joseph’s phone.

As if it was magic I fall asleep almost instantly. When I wake up again the bedroom is dark and I don’t

know what time it is but I am hungry. I press the button to get the nurse and when she walks in I feel

my stomach turn.

“I am hungry” – I say and she smiles at me.

“I will get you some food Mr. Lockwood” – she says with a gentle voice.

Not long after she walks back in with a tray with some food. There was toast, orange juice, apple and

banana, cereals, milk, and coffee. I smile at the smell of coffee.

“The doctor would like to talk to you, Mr. Lockwood”

I nod my head while I have a mouth full of cereals.

Not long after the Doctor walks in.

“Raphael, I m glad to see you eating”

“Doc” – I say while I eat some apple.

“Raphael, you will need some therapy to help you walk again without the help of a walking cane, your

back got affected by the bullet and you lost the strength on your legs”

“I understand doc” – I say

“We can get you the best therapist here in the hospital”

I shake my head in a negative way.

“I want to leave” – I say

“You’re not ready to leave, we need to keep you under observation” – the Doc says

“I will have someone looking after me, I just can’t stand being here anymore” – I let out

“If that’s what you want I am going to need you to sign your discharge papers taking responsibility and

knowing it is against medical advice”

“I will sign anything”

As we finish our conversation Joseph walks in.

“Boss”

“Joseph, I need you to get everything ready at the hideout, I need a hospital bedroom set up for me,

but a lot more comfortable than this, I will need a physical therapist, and Olivia can’t know I am awake

and out of here”

“Sure boss” – Joseph says grabbing another phone and start making phone calls. I kept his phone so I

could look at Olivia, I forgot about that.

A couple of hours later I was inside one of ours Black SUV and Joseph had taken care of everything.

I was taken to the hideout and my therapy started straight away.

A few days passed by and I could see Olivia going crazy in that penthouse, she would cry herself to

sleep and I starting to struggle to be away from her.

“Boss” – Joseph walks in with urgency

“What happened?” – I ask already knowing that tone of voice

“We’ve been attacked, the underground was under attack”

“Okay, get every man on it, I want to know who did it, how they found us and get Olivia here”

“Boss?”

“Bring her the fuck here, get Michael with you”

“Sure boss”

I see Joseph making a phone call to Michael while he was leaving and now it’s a waiting game.

About 3 hours later I see through the security cameras that they are back.

Olivia is with them and she is looking worried.

I gab my newspaper and I keep reading it, knowing that will take them some time to bring her in, they

will need to prepare her for me, so she doesn’t have a heart attack.

When I notice their presence near the door I put the newspaper down and I smile to see those beautiful

green eyes wide opened looking at me.

“Raphael” – Olivia says my name as if in a whisper. As if she was afraid it was a dream

“Hello Love” – I say grabbing my walking stick and walking in her direction. But she starts running

towards me and throws herself at me. Hugging me tight.

“careful” – Joseph and Michael say at the same time

“How?” – she asks looking me in the eyes

“I’ve been awake for a while love” –I say kissing the top of her head taking in her amazing scent.

“You left me” – she says starting to cry against me.

“I am sorry” – I say while I tilt her face with my fingers under her chin so she can look at me.

“Never leave me again”

“Never” – I reply panting a soft kiss on her lips.

“You should sit again boss” – Michael says

I look at both Joseph and Michael and I nod, Olivia helps me sitting back in the chair and as my back

meets the chair I flinch

“Does it hurt?”

“A little, but I’ve had worse”

“Leave both of you” – I say looking at Joseph and Michael

They both leave and Olivia kneels in front of me between my knees and hugs me tight. I look down at Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

her and all I can do is grin. This woman is the most amazing woman I’ve ever met and I am never

letting her go.
