Mafia Princess and Her Overprotective Family

Chapter 55

⚠️⚠️T/W MENTION OF SUICIDE⚠️⚠️

Xander's POV

Today's the day.

I've made many attempts before. All of which resulted in my father "beating the suicide out of me".

It's only been a few days since we saw the footage so Charlotte and dad keep reminding me it's my fault. They also want me nowhere near Adriana and hurt me if I'm too close to her.

That however is not why I'm attempting this time. As I was making my way over to Adriana's room to give her bunny I overheard Charlotte and dad talking

"I don't know Char. Last time we sent him away he came back 10x worse. He was abused and tortured daily at the first facility we sent him to. If it didn't get shut down he'd probably be dead. We took 7 years from him." Dad reasoned

"This one is better! Plus they're too much alike Sandro. We can't let her turn out like him. She's the best version of what he could be. We also can't allow him to put Adriana in danger again. You have to think about your daughter. Next time he hurts her Aleksandr might try to keep her. The facility is in Maine and he'll be kept there til he turns 18 but I spoke to the director. He said in many cases when the patient is unstable they can't check themselves out as adults. Xander will be there until he's finally better. This is tough love Sandro. Don't you care about him?"

"You're right. We need to protect Adriana and get him help. I'm just not sure how we'll get him there."

"When there's no one in the house staff members from the facility will sedate and transport him to Maine. Since he's attempted in the past we'll tell the boys he's in a psych ward for suicidal thoughts and actions. Then we'll say his date is being pushed back by the psychologist."

"Do you think this will finally fix him?"

"Yes."

"Okay then." Dad agreed

"I've already had the papers signed. They're set to come tomorrow while you guys are out doing mafia business."

It wasn't surprising but it was heartbreaking. Even after all the shit I went through he was still willing to send me away.

I worked so hard to skip grades and build my resume so I could go to a college far far away but I won't even get the chance at higher education.

I don't need to be fixed!

I took my prewritten suicide notes and slide them under everyone's door then left. I decided I wanted to make a scene with my death so I drove to my father's company building.

So here I am standing on the ledge taking in the last view I'll ever get to see.

This is it for me.

"Get down Xander. It's late and we should be focusing on Adriana's recovery. She's been through a lot of trauma." dad tells me

"You told me to stay away from her so I'm removing myself from the equation. This family will be so much happier without me." I shrug

"That may be true but the suicide will affect AJ and bring unwanted attention to the family. Stop being selfish and get off the ledge!" He yelled

Why do his words still hurt me?

"Dad what the fuck?" Vinnie yelled causing me to turn around

Him, Xav, Ace, and Teo looked so scared

"Adriana is just like me but you love her so much. What is it about me that makes me so impossible to love? Do you love me?" I asked desperately

I just needed to hear it!
