Lost Soul (Book #1)

43|Father

Anastasia's POV:

This was all too much. All I cared about right now was Nico coming out of surgery alive. With an exasperated sigh, I went over to sit down since I was feeling light-headed. I pinched the bridge of my nose trying to collect all my thoughts. I sat there unaware of the concerned looks that I was getting from everyone.

"How long did you all know that I was at the top of my father's kill list?"

"About a month," Alek mumbled out. In any other situation, I would yell at them, give them a piece of my mind. I was too tired to do so.

"Why?"

"Why don't we talk about this when we are all calmer," Adrik suggested.

It was early morning, we had been waiting all night. We received updates here and there about how the surgery was going. All I was hearing was the number of complications they were facing. Gianni and his dad both donated blood, he had lost a lot of blood last night.

Adrian and the twins stayed in the hospital with me because the others needed to locate our sperm donor. Calvino was with us, but he spent most of his time barking orders in Italian and yelling at his phone. I couldn't blame him, he wanted to make sure that he took revenge for Nico.

My eyes widen as I saw a doctor come through the doors. Was this all over, were we finally going to know if the surgery was successful or not.

The doctor took off his scrub cap as he approached us.

"I was able to successfully remove the bullets. However, he lost a lot of blood and flatlined twice during surgery." I felt my heart drop hearing the doctor talk. Evangelina was holding my hand squeezing it.

"At the moment he is in a coma, we aren't sure when he will wake up. The nurses and I will be regularly checking upon him to make sure that his conditions improve." He finishes off.

"Are we able to go see him right now?" I asked.

"Yes, the nurse will take you to his room." He gestured us over to her. the nurse walked us over to his room.

There he was hooked up to a bunch of machines. My heart broke, but I kept myself together urging myself not to cry. I kept repeating to myself that he is strong and would make it out of this one.

It was night time and Evangelina and I was the only ones left in his hospital room. Everybody else was focused on finding my father.

"Honey, are you sure you are okay with staying here the night?" Evangelina was ready to leave, Calvino had told her that it would be best if she were to rest back home. I refused to leave Nico's side, so as much as my brothers tried convincing me they couldn't.

"Yes, don't worry I'll keep you updated," I assured her.

"Also, don't worry about my husband. He and I are going to have a long talk when we get home." I smiled at her words. She kept telling me how stupid Calvino was and how I shouldn't listen to a word he says.

Before all this happened he and I had a good relationship. We would always go to dinners at his parent's house, so I would spend a lot of time with them.

I went through the duffle bag that Amaya so kindly brought me. I was going to sleep here so I needed to have my things here.

I went to the restroom to brush my teeth and change into some PJs. Once I came out I walked over to Nico. I kiss his forehead before going to sleep. I'd been so tired lately that I would manage to knock out quickly no matter how much I tried fighting my sleep.
