My Addiction by Ida Gonzalez (summer reading list TXT) 📗

"Calm down everything will be fine, you'll see your brother will recover, he'll get through this." I hug her tightly, Iam strokes her back giving her strength.

Finally I make him sit on the armchairs that are in the waiting room, Giancarlo approaches me, patting my back. "It'll be fine, man, you'll see." I nod. "I'll go drop Cloe off at the apartment and I'll be back." said my brother.

"Thanks Gian, but it's not necessary, I'll stay here.

"I'll be back in the morning so you can go home," he answers. 

Then in the middle of that desperation I remember Paula, I would like to call her and tell her everything that was happening, but she will be asleep and also very upset with me, I think it will be best if we talk tomorrow.

Ian had gone to get a coffee for Lidia, when he came back he gave it to her, and Giancarlo had left with Cloe a while ago.

Then Ian walks over to me, "Dante can we talk for a moment."

"This is not the time Ian." I spit angrily.

I'm mad at me, at him, I love Paula too much, I don't want to lose her, I don't want anyone to steal her from me, I know Ian is still in love with her, and that's what makes me so jealous.

"Dante, it's not what you think. " he continues in the same way.

"I don't want to listen to you Ian."

"With a fuck, yes you will listen to me, because of your stupidity and hard headedness, you will endanger Paula." he got upset and all my alerts woke up, I move closer to Iam defiantly fixing my eyes on him.

"What do you mean she's in danger?"

"Yesterday when you found us hugging, and you didn't let Paula explain what happened, I had found her with that idiot Marc who had threatened her and was estimating her."

My whole body tensed up, I felt an immense fury that I couldn't explain, that idiot dared to lay a hand on my wife, after I made things clear to him last time

"And what the fuck did you do?" I spit angrily.

"Only because Paula asked me to, I didn't break that asshole's face. " Iam spits. "That's why she had her eyes like she was crying."

"Apparently it was not the first time that something happened with Marc, Dante, from what I could hear and according to Paula told me, he wanted to hurt you and his son.

 I feel my blood boil, I will never let him do that, he will never hurt my son or Paula, first I kill the son of a bitch.

"You must talk to her, Dante, something's going on."

Now I'm more than furious with Paula, why didn't she tell me? She's so oblivious, she hasn't learned yet.

"Why the fuck didn't she tell me anything about what was going on?" i growled angrily.

"Relax Dante, I'm sure everything has an explanation."

"Yes and she is unconscious, if she was in danger she should have told me. She doesn't think about my son, she doesn't think about her." Fuck!" he growled in annoyance.

"Listen Dante, you have to trust her more, there has to be trust in your relationship." I stare at him, I know he's right, I let myself get carried away with jealousy and anger and forget to listen to her.

"I'm not going to deny it Dante, I'm still in love with Paula and I don't think I can get over it just like that, but I would never betray you, you're my brother, since I found out about you, I stayed away and padlocked this, I don't think it's easy for me to see the woman I love with my best friend. But I can't fight that Dante, you are my brother, you know, you and Leonardo are my best friends. And she is your woman, yours and nobody else's. I wish she loved me like she loves you, but that will never happen. "

I walk up to Iam and give him a hug, patting him on the back, Iam is a noble man with a giant heart, he deserves a woman who loves him as he deserves.

"I know old man and forgive me, I apologize, the truth is that I should trust Paula more, and you, but I just can't control this jealousy, I'm very impulsive.

"She will be very upset with me, but me too because she hides things from me, and I think she should trust me and tell me everything that happens to protect her."

At that moment the doctor comes out again and we see him talking to Lidia.

We approach her quickly. "Is something wrong?" I ask.

"Yes, I'm afraid we have to perform the operation urgently and we need two people to donate blood."

"Yes doctor, we will. " replied Iam.

"Very well, come with me inside."  We nodded and followed the doctor.

After a while we went out, we realized that it was already daylight. Giancarlo was back, this time he came alone.

"What happened?" he asks. "Leonardo is having surgery," I answer.

"Dante you need to go take a shower and eat something." says my brother.

"That's right Dante you need to get some rest." now it was Lidia who spoke to me.
