The Mafia Boss Chapter 67

Geovanni's POV

I sat down next to Royalty on the floor after she let me in and she wiped her tears.

"Sorry you had to see me be a crybaby." she tried to be cheerful but I was seeing right through her.

She was heartbroken and hurt and was trying to be happy. She was like a broken rose now I could feel her pain.

"Did you want something?" she gave me a fake smile which almost looked real

I looked at her a little and extended my arms and pulled her into a hug to my chest. I buried my head in her soft hair.

"Cry." I whispered to her softly "It's alright to cry when you're hurt. Cry Royalty. Let it out."

I felt her sniffle a little before her water tap broke and she gripped my shirt and began to cry into my shirt. I let her cry while I buried myself in her hair.

"You're broken and hurt." I said softly as she cried harder "Let it out."

"It hurts." she cried "It hurts so much."

I poured some of the blue powder into his water and gave it a good shake. He was practicing boxing with a sandbag and I was in the shadows doing my dirty work. I replaced his bottle in the same spot and snuck away before returning a few minutes later but with a lot of noise.

"Hey babe." I waved and he looked up

"Hi Jenn." he smiled at me.

"Here drink some." I took up his water bottle "I don't want you dehydrated."

He chuckled and took the water from me and took a sip. I smiled to myself.

He's all mine now.

"Want to go out for dinner later?" he asked me

"Sure." I answered "Where are we going?"

"That's a secret Jenn." he teased me and stuck his tongue out at me.

I went up to him and kissed his cheek.

"You need a shower." I joked "You stink."

He rolled his eyes playfully.

"Tell me something I don't know." he said

"You're sweaty and you're bathing with me." I answered and he laughed

"I'll be there in a while." he took another sip of water

"Alright." I smiled and went off.

Xavier's POV

I drank the rest of my water finding nothing wrong with it before grabbing my towel and wiping my face. My mind went back to my break-up with Royalty. Something felt off with me but I couldn't put my finger on it. I pushed the thought of her sad face out my mind and got up. I walked up the stairs two at a time. I met Royalty on the way up and our gazes locked for a while.

"Hi." she said awkwardly and put down the vase she was carrying

"Hey." I answered and watched as she neatly put the flowers in it

She stood back up and turned to me looking at the floor. I could tell she was nervous at seeing me alone. She mostly saw me with Jennifer and during those times I did things to make her jealous.

"I got to go." she turned and ran off and I started after her

Since when are we like this? Is there something I'm forgetting?

I couldn't figure it out and I just walked into the kitchen. My head started to hurt a little but I didn't mind as I went into the fridge and took out a cold soda then went up to my room to meet Jennifer.

Royalty's POV

Why did I have to see him?

I was running and I found myself in the garden. I leaned on a tree and wiped the stray tears I hadn't known had fallen. I sat down by the pond with my back against a tree. I raked my fingers through the grass slowly.

Why is he so different now? We fought a lot before but now we fight and can't make up. Was he really bad before or was I too blind to see it? Why do you keep thinking of him Rei? He's done with you and now you're nothing to him.

I sat down hugging my knees as stray tears rolled down slowly. I heard a soft purr and looked down to see R.J. snuggling close to me.

"Hey." I choked on tears while petting him softly

He purred softly in response as though feeling my pain. I put my head into my hands and cried. It was almost midday when I made my way back inside. My head was pounding and I felt worn out and tired from crying. I met Neveah and walked right past her as though I was in a daze.

"Hey Royalty." Neveah stopped me "Are you alright?"

"Yeah fine." I looked at her "Just a headache."

I walked off before she could ask me anything more. I went up to my room and locked myself in my bathroom. I went into the cupboard and rampaged through knocking things out in the process. A glass bottle fell and broke but I didn't care. I kept searching until I found the Aspirin and popped the packet. I popped two into my mouth and drank some water from the sink. I put my hands on the sink and bent over.

C'mon stop hurting!

The headache got worst and I popped in another pill crying and hoping the headache would go but it didn't. There was a knock on my bathroom door.

"Royalty." Neveah's voice said from the other side of the door and I could hear the concern in it "Are you alright? Royalty!?"

"I'm fine." I lied drinking some more water "Just a headache."

"Royalty open up." Neveah tried turning the lock "It's not just a headache. You were crying. Your eyes are red."

"Neveah I'm fine." I cried

"No you're not!" Neveah began to pound on the door "Open up! PLEASE!"

I heard my bedroom door open and I heard a masculine voice.

"Neveah. I heard a bottle breaking from next door." Cristiano said "Is everything alright?"

"It's Royalty." I heard Neveah answer "I don't know why but I've got the feeling she's not herself now and she's locked herself in the bathroom. She said she had a headache and with all the shit going on I'm afraid she'll hurt herself."
