(this book is really cringey and there is a lot wrong with it but dont be hateful 🙄)
A girl-a mafia princess-falls in love with her pretty bodyguard, Aleksander.
He's...

I flip my body over and kick the blanket off of me. My body is sweating and burning.
I open my eyes, but they quickly close again when the bright sun hits them.
I sit up, kicking the blankets some more, just for fun. Looking around the room, I don't see Aleksander anywhere. Where is he?
The sweatpants I have on, feel suffocating and don't help with the heat I'm feeling. My stomach hurts bad too.
As I walk to my closet, I push the hair that's sticking to my face, away. I grab the hair tie off my wrist and tie it into a ponytail.
I search through my drawers, throwing clothes all over the room. Finally I find a light pink, silk pajama set. I hurriedly pull my other clothes off and put the set on.

As I trudge through the halls, looking for the man, my stomach only becomes worse.
Where is he?
Tears of frustration build up in my eyes and a knot forms in my throat. My eyes now blurry, I dont see a door opening and someone coming out, I only hear it.
"What's wrong princess?," Jax's voice sounds in my ears. I feel him turning me around and lifting my face up.
"I-I want Alek," tears rain from my eyes as I speak.
"Alek isnt here. Father had him go speak with Kaz a little bit ago," He informs.
What? No. I need Alek.
More tears fall down my face as I sob. "Princess, it'll be okay," Jax tries to soothe. "Come on. I'll take you to father and then I'll call Alek and tell him to come back asap, okay?"
I nod my head but my crying doesnt stop. Jax picks me up and places me on his hip like Alek does, but I like it more when Alek does it.
Don't tell Jax I said that. He'll probably cry.
He walks down the hall and re-enters the room he just left. Father is sitting on a couch, legs spread and phone in his hand.
He looks up, eyes instantly softening when they see me. "What's wrong, precious?"
Jax sits me down on his lap, my arms go around him tightly. "I-I don't feel good a-and I w-want Alek," I murmer into his chest.
He pats my back in a comforting way. "I'm sure Alek will be here soon, okay?," he assures. "Why don't we watch something on my phone while we wait."
He clicks on the Netflix icon on his phone and asks me what I want to watch. "Barbie dr-dreamhouse, please."
Father chuckles at me quietly, but clicks on the show anyways. I snuggle into his chest and watch the show, still wanting Alek here.

"Alek's here," Jax walks into the room and announces. "He's in the kitchen."
I give father a kiss on the cheek and speed out of the room, not caring about my stomach ache anymore. My mind is only focused on seeing the beautiful man.
When I get to the kitchen, I see him leaning his arms onto the counter, veins standing out more than normal.
No, no, no, Elvi.
I crush him into a tight hug, my arms around his waist.
"Hey, baby," Alek whispers. Butterflies tickle my stomach and make a smile break out on my face. "What happened?"
"W-well, I woke up a-and I didnt feel good. Th-then I couldnt f-find y-you, so I g-got sad, because you l-left without t-telling me. Why?"
I unwrap my arms from him and put them on my hips, glaring at Alek. He only become amused at my anger, which makes me more angry.
"You're father was rushing me out, darling. He wouldn't let me go back to your room."
As the man speaks, I hum along, not believing a single thing. Then he has the audacity, the audacity, to laugh at me.
I turn around, ready to storm off to my room, slam the door obnoxiously loud, and pout in my bed, waiting for an apology.
But, I dont get far before I'm yanked back by my arm. "Ow, you meanie head!," I exclaim.
"Stop it, Elvi," he warns. He picks me up and places me on the counter. My thighs jiggle, making me giggle. "You need to take some medicine and eat some food, then we can go watch a movie."
He hands me a glass of water and two pills that I swallow. He then cuts up some fruit, placing them all in a bowl. Strawberries, blueberries, apples, and raspberries.
He helps me off the counter, grabbing me hand as we walk to my room.
"Can we watch Moana?," I ask as we sit on the couch.
"Of course, darling," Alek responds and sits on the couch next to me.
That doesnt last long though, because when the movie starts, he places me on his lap, my back to his chest.
He feeds me the fruit with one hand, the other hand resting on stomach thats exposed by the top I'm wearing. I turn around to give him a kiss on the lips, slow and loving.
The words are on the tip of my tounge, but I cant say it. Insecurity and fear claws at my throat, not letting the words escape.
So I just turn back to enjoy the movie. This time we actually watch it.
