The Shark Mafia Boss

Chapter 15 - The ride

Olivia POV

I don’t know how long had passed, but I wake up naked on my bed wrapped up on a blanket. The last

thing I remember was having a bath. I look around to see a sleeping Raphael on the sofa holding his

phone.

I get up and wrap up the blanket covering my body and walk to him, I put one strand of his hair behind

his ear, he looks so peaceful while he sleeps, he looks like an angel.

I grab another blanket and throw it on top of him.

His phone rings and I grab it so he doesn’t wake up. I see a woman’s name but I reject the call, it might

just be his secretary or his assistant.

Almost at the same time I cancel the phone call a message comes in and I look, I swear I didn’t do on

purpose.

“Hey hot stuff, fancy a fuck?”

That’s what it said on the text, I felt anger coming over me that I couldn’t explain. I throw the phone at

his head and he wakes up

“Hey, that hurt” – he says grabbing his phone and massaging his head.

“GET OUT” – I shout at him

He gets up and walks towards me, he breathes confidence.

“I SAID GET THE FUCK OUT”

He grabs me by my waist and pushes my body towards his and calmly looks into my raging eyes.

“And why would I do that?” – He asks with a smirk on his face

“BECAUSE YOUR SLUT IS WAITING FOR YOU TO GO FUCK HER” – I say feeling a tear falling from

my eye, immediately I clean it with the back of my hand still starring into his ocean blue eyes.

I can see confusion, and lust on his eyes. We are not together. He just comes to my rescue when I

need it and then leaves. I have no right to feel this way but I can’t control it.

“What are you talking about?” – He asks looking down on me

“Let go of me” – I say trying to get out of his grip

“Not until you explain what is happening here”

I laugh in sarcasm

“You have to be fucking kidding me, one moment you want me, the other you tell me to fuck off, then

you say I will ask you to fuck me, when I ask you say not yet, and then you pretend to be worried about

me and pretend to care and then you get text messages from your girlfriend asking for a fuck” – I let out

“I don’t have a girlfriend” – He says with the calmest facial expression I’ve ever seen, He’s either a NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

great actor or he is actually telling the truth.

“That’s the only thing you got from all of that?”

“I’m just saying that I don’t have a girlfriend, and about you, I do care, if I didn’t I wouldn’t be here”

“You care?” – I say as if I could breathe again.

“Yes I care, but I have dangerous people around me, and if they find out that I care about you, you will

be in danger” – he says giving me a little peck on the tip of my nose

“Raphael?” – I say looking up at his eyes

“Yeah?”

“You’re hurting me” – he was grabbing me as if his life depended on it, his hands were so tight around

my waist that he was hurting me.

“Sorry” – he says loosen up the grip but not letting go

“You should go home and rest, I will leave the hospital tomorrow” – I say trying to distract both of us

from the tension that was between us

"I am not going anywhere" - he says

"Ok, but we should get some sleep" - I say

He grabs my hand and takes me to the bed and opens it for me, I jump in and he wraps me with the

duvet.

I look at him and smile, I close my eyes trying to sleep. But I can’t, my head is flying around, thinking

about what he said.

He cared, but he couldn’t. Dangerous people? I feel myself drifting into dreamland.

I wake up and it’s light outside and Raphael is nowhere to be seen. There’s a tray with pancakes next

to my bed, smells amazing.

I grab the plate and I start eating it, chocolate chip yam.

The doctor comes in to do the rounds and tells me that I am free to go. I smile and he asks me to take

it easy for the next couple of days. I nod and smile.

I grab my phone that was standing on the bedside table and I turn it on and there were 20 missed calls

from Lucas and 7 text messages from him. 3 messages from Tasha and a couple of missed calls from

Anna and John.

I message Anna and John saying that I will be discharged if one of them could come and pick me up.

I waited for about 20 min and I got an answer from John

“Love I am sorry, but I am at work at the moment and I can’t get out, I tried but the boss said no, I will

meet you after my shift”

“That’s okay, enjoy work” – I reply and I have nothing from Anna so I get up grabbing the small number

of things I had.

I grab my phone again and I start to read Lucas’s messages

“Hey, how are you?”

“Olivia? Are you better?”

“Olivia, Raphael doesn’t let me see you”

“Olivia are you upset with me?”

“Liv, please I am worried and I can’t visit”

“I miss you”

“Please call me”

After I read them all I decide to reply

“Hey, I am sorry about Raphael, I had no clue, I didn’t have my phone with me, I honestly forgot about

it. I am leaving the hospital in 20 min and I will call you then”

2 min later he replies

“I’m glad you are leaving the hospital, do you need a ride?”

“Yes please” – I reply

“I’ll be there in 10”

I start scrawling my phone and read Tasha’s messages and was wishing me fast recovery and saying

she was thinking of me.

I get dressed in the same clothes I was wearing when I fainted at work, I put my hair on a high ponytail

and I walk out of the room.

As I get to the hospital door I see Lucas waiting for me, he looks tired.

“Hey”

“Hey”- he says while he hugs me

“I am ok Lucas”

“Thank God” – he says opening the door for me to get into his car

We talked during the drive home, and he gave me a couple of weeks off which I thought was too much

but he insisted on me taking a paid leave.

We stopped at the groceries shop to get some food and he paid for everything getting upset when I

tried to pay, there was food for about 2 weeks there, from snacks to chocolate, Ice cream, fruit and veg,

meat and fish. I had a lot.

When we stop in front of my building I see a fuming Raphael waiting outside pacing.

I get out of the car and he walks past me towards Lucas grabbing him by the collar of his shirt pressing

his body against the car.

“WHAT DID I TELL YOU?” – He shouts at Lucas.

“RAPHAEL, LET HIM GO” – I shout grabbing his arm feeling his body all tense.

He was just staring at Lucas and that was scaring the shit out of me.

“RAPHAEL LOOK AT ME” - I say and his eyes meet mine, I see anger and fear.

“Put him down” – I say in a soft tone with one of my hands on his shoulder and he puts Lucas down.

Lucas starts coughing trying to catch his breath.

I grab Raphael’s face between my hands never breaking eye contact.

“I am ok, I asked him for a lift” – I say and I see his face tensing up and his eyes got darker, as if he

was being haunted.

He growls and I block everything else around us, it’s just the 2 of us.

“Hey, I am here, hug me” – I say and he hugs me, I feel his body relaxing and when I look at Lucas his

body is all tense and I say a mute “I am sorry” throwing him a small smile.

Lucas takes the bags out of his car and drives away, Raphael hasn’t moved since I asked him to hug

me.

How can this guy be so broken? One moment he is all tough and the other he is this teddy bear

needing my hug to relax.

“Hey, do you want to come up?”

He nods his head and I try to get away from his hug but he doesn’t let me go

“Not yet” – He says
