The Daughter Of The Mafia Boss
Chapter 44

The hours went on forever, and Violeta still didn't know anything about Dylan. They were able to see her father a few hours later, but as he was still asleep from the anaesthesia they were unable to talk to him. But at least they knew that he was fine and that he would recover very soon, since the bullet passed through without hitting any arteries or bones.

When he finally managed to sit up at his mother's insistence, the girl couldn't stop biting her nails in anguish. She rocked forward trying to find peace and waiting for the doctor. Until at last the cursed man came out of the door, and she ran to meet him. -Doctor, my God, what took you so long? How is Dylan doing? Is he going to be all right?

-The patient's wound was severe, fortunately he didn't damage any organs, but he did lose a lot of blood. Fortunately we were able to get him out of harm's way and into intensive care.

-Thank God, can I come in to see him?

-Yes, but only for a moment.

She followed the doctor, full of hope to see him again, her heart was just a little wider knowing that he would be saved... As soon as she was left at the entrance of the room, she felt fear, but at the same time courage. She opened the door and there he was, she took a few steps into the room and approached the bed. The brunette bit her lips as she noticed the pallor on Dylan's face.

-Dylan," she whispers with a broken voice.

She caresses his cheek, but he was completely asleep. Violet's eyes welled up with tears that she couldn't hold back, now she was calm because Dylan would be saved.

-I'm sorry I didn't tell you before, I know you can't hear me, but I... I love you, what I said in the house is true, I love you Dylan," a nurse entered the room interrupting her.

-Excuse me, but you must leave now. The patient needs to rest.

-Yes -She nods and looks back at Dylan who is suddenly staring at her. -Dylan! -She exclaims in surprise.

-You waited too long to say it.

-Did you hear me?

-Every word spoken in the house and now here," she smiles, but doing so causes her terrible pain.

-Don't make any sudden movements.

-I see." Lick her lips.

Violet watches the exit noting that the nurse had left, but she knew she would be back any minute so she didn't have much time.

-Violet...

-I want to be with you, and I don't care what my family says, we'll be together no matter what. I promise, as soon as you get better we'll leave Dylan. I love you.

He tries to smile, but decides not to risk it, as he is really in terrible pain. Apparently the anaesthesia was wearing off. He looks into those beautiful eyes that drove him crazy from the first day he met her, Violet was beautiful, with all those cuts and scrapes she was the most beautiful woman in the world. He would be too crazy to let her escape.

-I love you too, Violeta.

-Miss, please, it's time to leave.

She nods as she smiles at Dylan, takes his hand and squeezes it a little before leaving. The brunette walks slowly as she walks away from her beloved. Violet smiles at him before closing the door.

[...]

Violet was walking down the stairs of her house a bit distracted, at that moment she notices that Liam enters the mansion accompanied by his sister Lucia, at that moment she opens her eyes with pure joy and ends up walking down the stairs with emotion. -Liam! -She jumps on top of him and falls into his huge arms.

-Careful it's hardly better, child," his sister complains.

-I'm glad you're okay, but if you keep squeezing me like this you'll send me back to the hospital.

-I didn't know you were going out today.

-I went out days ago, only we spent the days at the cottage," she smiles.

-Liam! Finally home you bastard, you've been missing from this house," Reece joins the family reunion. Violet, daddy wants to see you in his office now.

The brunette's smile fades, and she immediately takes the path to her father's office. It had been two months since what had happened at Alonzo Dallas' house, her father was released two weeks after his admission to the clinic and Dylan was not as lucky. But against all her family's complaints, especially her father's, Violeta organised Dylan's transfer to the United States. As soon as Demian was discharged they were all going back to Oregon and she wasn't about to leave him alone to fend for himself. But that was a month ago, so at that time he was confined to the family clinic and she went to visit him every day. But that morning she would have to wait, as her father apparently had other plans.

As soon as she opens the door to Demian's office, the man behind the desk looks up.

-You've been a long time coming.

-I hope whatever you have to tell me is quick, you know I have to go and see....

-I know, sit down Violet.

-What's the matter daddy?

-What are you going to do when Dylan is discharged?

-Dad, you know I love him, he's not an enemy, his father was, but he's not.

-I can't allow a union like that, you know that Violet.

-Is that why you sent for me? -She stands up completely out of her mind.

Demian, seeing her reaction, maintains his stance, Violet was trying to look intimidating, but those tactics didn't work against him.

-I don't care what you say, or what anyone else says, I want to be with Dylan.

-That's not the way things work, daughter.

-Father, I can't be away from him anymore, I don't want to be without Dylan." She lowers her voice and ends up tilting her head down, Demian looks at her with a stern expression. He's the love of my life, and..." Violet brings both hands to her belly, "the father of my baby.

Demian's eyes widen, focusing on the tiny hands of his beloved youngest daughter. Now his baby was going to have his first child. When had things gotten out of his control? He notices some tears running down his daughter's cheeks soaking her face. It was impossible for her to keep those two away, if she did she would lose her daughter and grandchild.

-Violet!

-Father, please.

She looks up tearfully, but at that the brunette notices an uncommon half smile on her father's lips as he looks behind his back. She turns around and notices Dylan standing under the doorframe. -Dylan! -She calls out to him in astonishment.

-Are you pregnant? -He asks incredulously, to which she just blinks.

-Yes," she answers in a barely audible voice.

At that, the young man runs towards her to wrap her in his arms, both of them melt in a strong embrace without caring that Demian is behind their backs watching them with some discomfort. -Why didn't you tell me?

-I just found out this morning," she answers, still hugging Dylan.

-Awww! Nice family reunion," the blond exclaims as he enters the office followed by Reece and Gaston. Open marriage?

-Shut up Daniels, you're unbearable," replies Demian standing up, "But yes, these two need to get married as soon as possible.

Violet turns around to see her father with a happy expression, the young brunette runs to her father to hug him tightly.

-Thank you father," he receives the hug, but gives Dylan a murderous look.

-You'd better take care of her and keep her out of trouble, or else you'll see.

-I think she's the one getting us all in trouble.

-I agree." Daniels replies, sitting down on a couch.

I'll keep an eye on you, just like I keep an eye on my brothers-in-law, it's normal, you'll get used to it." Reece approaches Dylan leaving a hand on his shoulder as he talks to him, and then the boy punches Dylan in the face. -REECE! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU? -his sister shouts at him, running to help her fiancé.

-Well, it was me, wasn't it, Dad punched, Uncle Daniels punched, I guess it was my turn to punch a new member. Besides, he deserved it for getting you pregnant before he got married.

-That's the attitude nephew, but at least you would have expected her to come out of her woes.

-How the hell did you know I was pregnant?

-Danielle doesn't miss a beat, sis.

-Damn Dani...

Violeta denies looking at the wound on Dylan's lip, the poor guy was convalescing and his brother comes like a savage to hit him. Damn! They were all crazy.
