The Long Lost Mafia Princess

Book 2 chapter 79

My dad takes my hands in his, "I'm so sorry Val, Alessia didn't make it through the night" he says.

"Dad, y-you can't joke like that. It's not funny, you can't just lie. Why are you lying to me" I say as tears form in my eyes.

"Val-" he says as he tries the cup my face in his hands.

"No!" I stand up, "stop lying, she's not dead. T-the doctors said that- that she'll live for around another month" I tell him as more tears fall down.

"If she made it through the night but she didn't. Her heart stopped before she was pronounced brain dead, there was nothing they could do" he says gently, still sitting down.

"N-no" I sob out as my dad stands up now too.

Elijah walks in the room so I quickly walk up to him, "tell him Elijah, tell dad that she isn't death" I cry.

He looks at my dad and when he shakes his head, Elijah wraps his arms around my body.

"I'm sorry, Val. She's gone" he whispers.

I break down as realization begins to set in.

I cry loudly as my legs give out.

Elijah doesn't let me fall though, instead he picks me up and walks me to the couch, putting me down next to him.

"Shhh it's okay, it'll be okay Val. Breathe, just breathe" my dad whispers as he has his arm wrapped around my shoulders.

I cry in his chest

It hurts

My heart feels like it's being ripped apart again

My breathing begins to go labored as I start to feel like I can't breathe.

My chest tightens as I start to see black dots in my already blurry vision.

"M-make it stop please dad" I sob out.

"Shhh, go to sleep principessa" he says before darkness takes over.

Arsenio Hernandez's POV.

I press on a pressure point on Val's arm before she falls limp against me.

I stroke her hair gently and hold her tight.

I wipe my own tears that have fallen from partly seeing Val suffer like this but also from knowing that Alessia died.

I know she was Val's friend but I knew her pretty well too.

She was a good friend.

Val is already dealing with so much and now this on top of that too.

I get another message so I quickly look down at my phone.

Roman.

That mother fucker I swear to god.

I open the message.
