demetrius
— She's out of danger, we removed the bullet that almost didn't perforate the intestine. She's sedated, she'll be discharged in a few days. For now, you will be under medical supervision.
I collapsed onto my knees, relief hitting me so hard it took my breath away. I took a deep breath, trying to compose myself as I got up .
"Fuck... Thank God!" — I faced the doctor, my hands were shaking — Can I see her?
He hesitated.
- Please? I insisted.
"It can't take more than ten minutes."
“Just looking at her from afar is enough. I said and he nodded.
I accompanied the doctor to the door of a room, when my phone started to ring, making me stop before going in, the name on the display telling me that Heitor was calling.
— Mr. Hector? — answered.
- Hey! Demetrius? How is my daughter? — he didn't wait for answers — I'm under arrest. But I sent that bastard to the hospital, I need help. My lawyer doesn't answer.
— I'll call one of the peons to sort this out, I'm going in to see her now. She's fine, out of danger, she'll be hospitalized for observation for a few days and then she'll be discharged.
He was silent for a few seconds into the call, then I heard sobbing on the other end of the line.
“I was so afraid of losing you. I need to go, contact someone for me.
"I will, Mr.
“Demetrius? he called before I hung up.
- Yes?
“We need to talk about you later. I felt an unusual chill in my stomach.
"Okay..." I hung up.
I already knew what he wanted to talk about, but I wasn't afraid. Livia was mine and I would fight everything and everyone for her. I sent a message to the person who least wanted it, Marcos, whether I wanted it or not, I had Mr. Heitor and would be able to handle the situation.
I put the cell phone in my pocket and the moment I entered the room, I saw the most beautiful face in the world, she was unconscious and pale, but she was still beautiful... I took my hand and caressed her soft face, I kept repeating the gesture for all the minutes I had left there with her, until, to my surprise, she moved.
“You'll be out of here soon, beautiful…” she stirred again, but didn't open her eyes. “I was so scared of losing you, I'll never put you in danger again. Forgive me. Forgive me... - I murmured, putting my head on the mattress and kneeling beside her, letting the tears fall.
Some time later...
livia
Everything that happened in the last few days was crazy, I almost died, Demétrio and my father almost killed Leonel, my father was arrested but he left in a few hours, according to what I was informed and my mother's bloody boyfriend was behind from bars now, after having had medical attention for the shots that hit him in the arm and legs and having been beaten by my father.
Considering the whole situation, the accusations that Leonel had made, were invalid according to the police investigations, and from what my father told me, they discovered other things about him as well.
Mariana had disappeared, we haven't heard from her since the event. Demetrio came to visit me now and then, he said that my father wanted to stay with me all the time and he needed to take care of everything in his absence, I understood, but I missed him so much.
Finally the day had come to go home, I already felt much better, I didn't feel any more pain and the wound was healing, I just needed to stay longer than expected in the hospital because anemia was detected in my exams.
My father was there to pick me up alone, I was a little sad not to see Demetrius there too, but I would see him soon. I was a little afraid of that distance.
“Come on, daughter. My father took me in his arms.
“Thank you so much for all your care, Dad. I thanked him , letting him take care of me.
The trip to the farm was longer than usual, I slept and woke up every fifteen minutes, my father was driving as slowly as possible, afraid that I would get hurt.
“We're here. he informed me when I woke up from the last nap, carefully helped me to my room and put me on the bed .
— Dad... I'm fine, I don't even feel pain anymore.
“Don't argue with your father. Rest, okay? — he kissed me on the forehead, when he was about to leave the room, he turned to me again — Daughter, can I ask you something?
- Clear.
“Don't think about dating now, please.
My heart skipped a beat and a chill settled in my stomach.
"Dad... Why?"
- Please.
I smiled nervously and nodded, unable to form words and watched him leave the room, I sat on the bed, looking around... How I missed my home, the farm, this climate. But most of all, I miss my boyfriend.
— Livia? I can enter? I heard Maria's voice and a light tap on the door.
- Clear.
- Hey how are you? He sat next to me and hugged me.
- I am fine. I missed you. I smiled at her.
— I'm sorry for going to the hospital a few times, Demétrio and I are taking care of things around here, without your father this becomes crazy!
— I understand... The important thing is that now we're all here, together and well. Any news?
- None.
"What about Kristen?" — I see the hesitation in her eyes — Maria? He speaks...
— She insists on staying behind Demetrius, but he doesn't respond to her advances, he runs faster than the devil runs from the cross. She also spoke to her father about her story being engaged to him being a lie.
"And what did my father say?"
“I wasn't on time, but it looks like they were going to talk about you. Her father was to send someone to observe this Kristen to see if she is up to something. he explained.
— My father asked me not to date now. I asked why and he just didn't say, he just asked please. - I said , distressed.
— What does Hector have on his mind? He can't ask you such a thing. — she sounded indignant.
“I've lived my whole life without him, I don't want to let him down now. I want to be the perfect daughter he thinks I am. I want to make him proud.
"Have you seen Demetrius since he arrived?"
"No... I just arrived, but I really want to see him, can you ask him to come here?" Please? I asked, holding her hand.
"Of course. I'll do it right away."
— Thank you Maria... — I hugged her again and she left the room.
I got up, took off my clothes and took a shower, taking all the precautions with the dressing that I was taught at the hospital. I put the dirty clothes in the hamper, dried myself, put on a comfortable dress and lay down again.
I don't know how long I closed my eyes, but I immediately opened them as soon as I felt warm lips kissing my neck until they took my lips.
- I miss you... - I whispered in the middle of the kiss, feeling my heart burn with love for him.
“Good to have you back, beautiful. —he replied and continued to kiss me —Are you okay? Are you feeling pain?
— I'm fine... You took a while to come. - I commented, when we parted our lips.
- I'm sorry. I was on the other side of the farm when I got the message from Maria, I left all my work and went home to take a shower, so I wouldn't come see you all dirty.
- I understand. Demetrius, did you and my father talk about us?
"I told him the truth about Kristen and he asked me about you but before I could answer he said he didn't want his daughter to be hurt but we were interrupted by a work issue and we didn't bring it up again." .
"What if he sends you away because of me?"
“It's okay, he hasn't done that so far.
"Demetrius..."
"Shhh... Don't think about it now." — He kissed me again, this time more intensely — I just want to touch you, feel you.
Suddenly, he got up, went to the door and locked it, came back and started kissing me again, gently and carefully at the same time as he had intensity, longing, desire and love.
And that's how I gave myself to him for the second time. It still hurt a little, but the pleasure he always made me feel was greater.
