Book 2 Chapter 10.
Amelia POV.
Laying in the bed at the hospital I have refused any visitors. I now have two of the members of the club stationed outside of my room to keep me safe, not that I give a s**t. This is why I never wanted to be in the running for the title.
Now, at the age of eighteen it looks like I may not have kids. All because of who I am and who my family is. I am not a bad person, so why does this s**t have to happen to me?
I wipe my cheeks before I take a big calming breath in and out as I look at the window. My life had barely begun and now this. It isn’t fair. The door opens and the same nurse who I learnt is called Marie comes in.
“Hey, sweetheart. It’s time for lunch.” She brings me the tray and places it on the table before she moves the table towards the bed.
“I’m not hungry.” I say to her, not looking at her too focused on own pain to care.
“You need to eat something. You won’t heal if you don’t,” she says gently to me like a mother trying to help.
“I’m sore and tired. I will eat later.” I tell her I won’t eat later at all and she knows it. She sighs and nods her head and checks my vitals before she leaves the room. My traitorous stomach growls, but I shove the table away and wince in pain at the sudden movement.
Pain is good. Pain means I’m alive, but dead at the same time. I may never have kids and if, by chance, I do, it will take a long time to have them. All because of who I am.
All because of some dickhead with a problem. Again, I have never hurt anyone, never so much as had a fight. So for this to happen to me, is just f****d up.
I lean back against the pillow and close my eyes. I just need time. I need to grieve, is it? Greive the fact I may never be a mom. Never see a little me running around, causing murder and
mayhem.
I cry myself to sleep. Only to be plagued with nightmares.
I wake screaming, and my wound is bleeding. I look at my hand and see blood under my nails and on my fingers. s**t.
“Amelia, what happened? Jesus, get the doctor in here now!” Marie shouts before she presses the button on the wall and she moves my hospital gown and curses. I look down and see the

dressing ripped away, and the stitches ruptured. Blood pooling and trickling down my hip.
What have I done?
“What on earth?” The doctor called doctor Simons walks into the room and sees what I am
looking at.
“Get her to the treatment room now, and someone prep theatre in case.” He shouts his orders. I look at the brothers and they are both on their phones. Great. I feel something pop and look down as the stitches burst and more blood. I panic as I am wheeled into a treatment room.
“Did you eat anything?” Marie asks me and I grit my teeth as the wound stings and burns and
I shake my head no.
“Sweetheart, I need to check it.” She says, and I breathe harshly to stop myself from
screaming when she checks it. Tears stream down my face.
“I know, sweetheart, I’m sorry. A little longer.” Marie says and I scream.
“The internal stitches have ruptured too. Get her under now.” Doctor Simons shouts and I
shake my head.
“No, let me feel it.” I say, and he looks at me in shock and shakes his head.
“Can’t do that sweetheart,” a mask is placed over my mouth and nose and I’m laid flat on the
gurney. Lots of people surround me, then I feel something cold enter my vein and I close my
eyes.
I wake feeling groggy, but it’s the blonde head I see resting by my leg that makes me more
confused.
I groan as I try to sit up and the head by my leg moves and I look at him. My vision blurred and
I fall back on the pillow.
“Lia, don’t move baby, you had to have another surgery. You will be OK,” the voice says, and I
blink to clear my vision and see Leo.
“Why are you here?” I rasp out and he looks at me with sadness in his eyes, but I don’t care. I
want to be left alone.
“You can go. I don’t want to see you or anyone else. Please leave me alone.” I say before sleep takes me once again.
I wake up back in the same room with the pale blue walls. It is dark outside, but the light above my bed is on. The machines beep beside me as I take it all in.
I had a nightmare and clawed at my side, pulling not only the external stitches but the ones

internally. I gulp and look around. I’m not alone. Leo is asleep on the sofa under the wind Stubborn bastard.
I need to be alone. I need to get away. I have to leave. I don’t want this life anymore. f**k, I even hurt myself and that is not who I am.
Jesus, what do I do? Do I run? Do I stay? Do I become who I was born to be? Do I hunt the bastard down and hurt him? No, no, that is not who I am!
“Why did this have to happen?” I ask myself under my breath. Well, I know why, but still it’s s**t. While the bastard Gabriel f*****g Torres is out there probably living his best f*****g life and here I am, no doubt, now on f*****g suicide watch because of what I did.
f*****g asshole. I place my hand on my belly and just let the grief wash over me. Let the pain bleed into my soul, let everything that happened to get me to this shitty point linger in my
heart.
I’m angry, sad, confused. But most of all, I need space. I need to figure this out. I should be grateful I’m alive, but to never have kids or to have problems conceiving and carrying them. What’s there to be grateful for? All because of some f*****g cunt who tried to kill me for shits and giggles? All because of who my family is. No thanks.
“You’re awake. Do you need anything?” Leo asks as he comes closer to me. I sneer at him and he sighs, shaking his head.
“What I need is to be left alone. Thank you for saving me, but that is all. You can go.” I say to him as I glare fiercely at him.
“Lia, please let me explain.” He says, and I shake my head and instantly regret it.
“Explain what? Why you have been following me? Why you are really here? Or maybe, just maybe, you want to tell me the damn truth? How did you know it was Gabriel Torres? And why come after me? All because your dad was a sick and evil cunt? Well, he got what he f*****g deserved and maybe you do, too.” I snap and then take a few deep breaths to calm myself
down.
“You know what? Just f**k off Leo, I’m not interested in what you have to say. GUARDS!” I shout and the door opens and one of the brothers looks at me, then at Leo and I point to him.
“Escort him out of the hospital. I don’t wish to see him ever again.” I say as Leo nods his head and walks to the door, but then stops and looks at me over his shoulder.
“Just so you know Lia, I will make this right. I love you.” He says, then walks out, closing the door behind him. I cover my mouth with my hand and sob.

How can any man love me now? Now that I may not be able to have kids. What’s the f*****g point of
any of this? I just need to be left alone so I can wallow in my grief. So that I can just see where I go from here. I need time and if I have to leave to get that, I will do.
