65 POWER

The soft rain pattered on the roof the sou ds soothing Anna. She wasn't going to wait any longer to go see Vincenzo.

She stood up and left the cafe. As she crossed the road toward the hospital the rain increased and in seconds she was drenched.

She didn't even feel cold she was just in another world. She didn't know what to do. Everything was too much and for some reason she was supposed to figure it all out on her own.

She could see Vincenzo's mother and father and she walked into the hospital but she didn't want to talk to them.

She just wanted to see Vincenzo. She passed by them and as they called her back she just ignored them.

How was she supposed to handle everything on her own?

It's like everything had been placed on her shoulders and she was supposed to be perfect and save the family name.

When she had asked to be respected and have something that people would recognize her for this had not been something that she had expected.

The words of Vincenzo's father rang in her head.

"You have to take over the company until he is okay, he's in no state of mind to manage a company ", he had told her.

Managing the company was going to be hard for her but not as hard as convincing the board members to let her be the CEO.

She wanted to run away. She wanted to get as far away as she could so that she could run away from the responsibilities.

She had once thought that she would be happy if something ever happened and she had power but she was miserable.

She felt like the world was out to get her and no matter what she did it was not going to be enough.

She had not spoken to Vincenzo about any of the things they had told her. He had not even seen her. They had just bombarded her with responsibilities the moment she had walked in.

Her phone kept ringing but she ignored it. She didn't want to know who was calling, she couldn't handle anything at the moment.

It was as if her head was on heat and no matter what she did to calm it down it wasn't working.

She could feel a migraine coming up and she took a seat. The nurse who was walking by noticed her struggling and hurriedly came to her side.

"Are you okay ?", she asked Anna.

"Yeah I think it's just a migraine ", Anna said as she smiled at her.

"Okay lemme give you some water maybe it will help ", the nurse said as she went to fetch Anna a glass of water.

Anna could remember seeing Dylan the moment she had walked into the hospital and she had wondered what he was doing there.

He and Vincenzo had never been friends before not that she knew of and what had shocked her more was seeing him with Vincenzo's parents acting like. they had known him since he was a toddler.

He had disappeared into thin air out of nowhere and it had somewhat made Anna happy that he was not there.

She didn't know how she would feel with him where her husband was. She knew there was nothing wrong she was doing but still, it made her feel a certain type of way.

As she stood up she felt like finally her body was doing okay. She stood outside Vincenzo's room and tried not to seem like she was scared of what she was going to see.

She opened the door of his room and entered. The only thing that she could hear was the sound of the machines that were controlling his body.

He looked peaceful sleeping but she gasped as she saw how much he had been hurt.His leg was in a cast but that wasn't what had broken her heart.

She stared at the bandage that was wrapped around his head and she wondered how much damage the crash had caused.

Vincenzo's parents had told her that he could t remember things. She wondered if he would even recognize her if he saw her.

She couldn't control the tears that escaped. She hadn't prepared herself for this. She had tried to not thinking the state that he was in while she was away but there was no way Sue could escape the thoughts now.

The door opened and she didn't turn to check she just assumed it was one of the nurses doing a check on the patients. She wiped her tears but they just kept falling.

She felt like her heart was breaking into pieces. She had t realized how much she was scared of losing him and in the state that he was in the thought were more real .

She couldn't survive it so all he had to do was make sure that he survived for her . They deserved one shot at least .

Her fingers touched his hand and it was warm ,she wantwd to squeeze it but was scared that maybe she would hurt him .

She turned since she couldn't hear any sound from.the person who had entered the room and her heart broke in piece's .

All she wanted was to be with her husband without anyone pissing her off but all people were trying to do was piss her off .

Why could t they just let her be ?

Vincenzo squeezing her hand shifted her attention from the intruder to him. She tur ed to look at him and just stared at him hoping that he would open his eyes .

She hoped that he would see her and try to smile and maybe he could remember who she was . That was what she was scared about .Him not remembering her .

Vincenzo ope ed his eyes and closed them immediately. For some reason opening his eyes hurt him and gave him a migraine .

He was squeezing someone's hand and he wondered who it was but it felt familiar . It was someone that he knew .

This time as he opened his eyes he got used to the lighting and his eyes were fixated with a figure that was standing at the edge of his bed .

It wasn't a face he had expected to see at the hospital .

"Briana ",he said pure shock in his voice .
