Authors pov

Sarah's heart was on verge of explode as they drove towards the hospital. She couldn't believe that Xavier's life is in danger. It was only few hours that they met and did those things in the meeting room.

She opened her purse and took her medicines, she didn't wanted to but she had no choice. Her hands were shaking and head was feeling dizzy by all the overthinking and stress.

'God! Please let him be okay...'

She prayed again and again.

"Is he okay?... Is there something serious?..."

She asked the guards again and again.

"Ma'am we honestly have no idea... We just got instructions from the Ace. We only know that Boss got attacked by the John's son and he is injured... I am sorry..."

He answered again with same politeness.

Sarah sighed and eagerly waited for hospital to arrive. Finally they reached the hospital and she hurriedly walked inside. The guards led her where Ace was sitting.

He was sitting on a bench in front of operation theatre.

"Ace how is he?"

Sarah asked in panic and he stood up from the bench.

"He is fine, thankfully he got shot on arm. Don't worry he will be fine..."

He assured and she breathed in relief still tears escaped her eyes.

"Hey it's okay... Don't cry."

Ace assured her.

"I don't know... Everything is new to me, I can't imagine him getting hurt..."

She confessed wiping her tears.

And Ace smiled, finally there was someone who cares about Xavier's life.

"It's okay... I understand..."

He gave her a friendly hug and rubbed her back consoling her.

After the wait of few hours the surgery was finally over and doctors came out.

Sarah and Ace quickly approached him.

"He is out of Danger... We are going to shift him in private ward... He will gain his consciousness in the morning so don't worry..."

He informed.

"Thanks man..."

Ace patted his back.

"Come on man... Xavier is my friend too."

The doctor smiled.

"By the way nice to meet you Sarah, sorry I couldn't attend your wedding..."

He said to Sarah.

"No problem... Thank you so much for saving him..."

She said gratefully. He nodded with smile and excused himself from them.

"Sarah you can go home, I will stay here with him. I have checked everything, the mansion is totally safe..."

Ace said and she shook her head no.

"No Ace... I want to stay with him. What I am going to do there anyway."

She said and he sighed.

"But it will be uncomfortable here and you must have a work tomorrow..."

He tried to change her mind.

"No, I'll be fine... I am staying here with him..."

She stood on her ground. Ace sighed and nodded.

"Okay then I'll increase the security... If anything happens call me immediately..."

He said and she nodded.

Ace saw Sarah struggling to stay in hospital. She has seen many injured people by now who were drenched in their own blood and was trying to avoid them still she wants to stay there for Xavier and he was appreciating her efforts. He knew that Sarah will be the best decision Xavier could ever take in his life, only if he knew the reality.

Nurse shifted Xavier in private ward and informed Sarah. Usually there was no permission for a family to stay overnight but obviously mafia was an exception.

Sarah hesitatingly entered the ward, she wasn't ready to see him in that condition.

She took a deep breath and finally entered. Xavier was sleeping on the hospital bed. He had machines and wires connected to his body. His right was bandaged and was in arm pouch.

She sat beside him and looked at him sadly.

"Please get well soon..."

She ran her hand through his hair and kissed his forehead.

She sat on the couch looking at him. This incident made her realized that it wasn't just a attraction. She really have fallen for him. When she heard the news of him getting injured it felt like she lost everything. She lost the only person who cares for her, who is there to provide her comfort whenever she needs it, who is her only family now because her own family has disowned her.

'Should I tell him that I love him or it will be too soon. I don't know How he will react, may be he doesn't like me the way I do. Am I taking it too fast. But I almost lost him today will it be too late when I decide to confess... It's only two months since we have got married... What should I do...'

She sat there thinking. Sleep didn't graced her Even for a second.

'If I have feelings for him then I should confess before it's too late. If he doesn't wants to accept it then it will be his decision and I will respect it. Instead of hanging between feelings it's better to confess and get over with it... I will tell him tomorrow...'

She decided in her mind but was too anxious and nervous thinking about it.

'What if he doesn't feel the same?

What if he gets angry or worst, insults me?

Ace said he is still living in his past and haven't got over His ex girlfriend yet, and in this condition how will he react if I confess my feelings.

But he is involved in a physical relationship with me, doesn't it affect him at any way. Doesn't he feel the connection'

She twist and tossed on the couch, her chain of thoughts got broken when she heard Xavier's moments.

She quickly looked at him and he was trying to sat up. She looked at him confused, Doctor said he will wake up tomorrow but he was waking up now.

She quickly rushed towards him and gave him a support and helped to sit back.

He hissed and looked at her with sleepy eyes while sitting up.

"Sarah?"

He mumbled like he wasn't expecting her to be here.

"Are you okay?... Do you need something?... I'll call the doctor..."

She said in panic.

"No!... Wait. Are you really here?"

He mumbled in weak voice and tried to touch her cheek.

She held his hand in hers.

"Yes I am here Xavier, don't worry... You are alright..."

Xavier smiled looking at her.

"Don't leave me... Please..."

He said and her heart filled with happiness listening his words.

"I am not going anywhere, I am here..."

She assured.

"Promise?"

He placed his head on her shoulder and she couldn't believe if she is dreaming or it's a reality.

"I promise, I will never leave you..."

She wrapped her hands around him.

"Please don't leave me... You have no idea how much I love you. I can't live without you..."

He confessed and her heart skipped a beat.

He confessed that he loves her before she could do And here she was thinking if he thinks the same about her or not.

Her eyes filled with happy tears.

"I love you Xavier... I love you too..."

She hugged him tightly.

"Then why you left me?..."

He mumbled almost in half sleep.

She frowned at his words.

"When did I left you?..."

She broke the hug and looked at him confused but he was already in sleep.

She gently made him laid back on the bed and covered in bed sheet.

"What he was talking about?"

She thought confused.

"May be I am thinking too much, he must be trying to say something else."

She shook her thoughts aside and smiled.

Her all worries flew away remembering his words.

'Finally I am going to experience first love of my life...'

She thought and looked at him with beautiful smile.

She hardly slept after the happy moment. She was never this much happy. Smile wasn't leaving her face for a second. She couldn't wait for him to wake up and talk to him.

'he loves me'

She mumbled and closed her eyes to fall in sleep.

The sun finally rise and Sarah woke from the sleep. First thing she did is checked on Xavier.

Before she close the curtains the rays fell on his face and he Groaned waking up. She stood there eagerly waiting for him to Fully wake up.

Xavier opened his eyes and sighed when he saw himself in the hospital. He kind of expected this after last nights attack.

He sat up and leaned against the bedpost lazily. His eyes finally landed on Sarah who was standing in front of him.

"Good morning, how are you feeling now?"

She asked smiling.

He looked at her lazily.

"I feel like shit but what the fuck are you doing here this early?"

He asked frowning.

Sarah's smile disappeared from her face when he said that.

"You don't remember last night?"

She mumbled.

"What last night?... Did you stay here whole night?"

He asked and her heart broke.

He doesn't remember anything. He doesn't remember that he confessed to her and she confessed to him.
