Heaven Amelie's Point of View

It took me two days before I finally woke up. My body is aching together with my head. I feel so weak.

I woke up with Deus sleeping in the sofa near me. He was still on his business suit and he looks so tired. When he found out that I am finally awake he keeps on kissing me. He can't hug me because of my wounds so he keeps in taking advantage of my poor lips.

The next day, a lot of people came to visit me. Primo and Namika came first. Namika is emotional again and she keeps eating weird food combinations. Donny and Nayana also came to visit me too. They bring a lot of fruits and vitamins.

Ali and Kaiden is the last pair to come. Kaiden felt so guilty about what happened. He keeps on apologizing and, in the end, he dropped a bomb. He confessed that he is my brother. He is my mom's son. I was silent for a long time because I just can't absorb it just like that.

I finally got a family.

He is trying to explain everything to me but I stopped him. I am not yet feeling that well. My body is aching so bad and I asked him to talk to me about it some other time. He understands and he didn't push the topic. I'm am happy that he is my brother.

Later that night I finally see Tres. He went straight from his duty. He checks my vitals and utter some jokes to make me happy. He even told me how Deus reacts and what he looks like when I am being treated in the operation room. According to him he looks as pale as me. Tres is making fun of his brother while Deus is just silent beside me glaring at him. Deus is working with me in the hospital. He never leaves my side. He bought his laptops and paperwork here.

After two weeks in the hospital, I am finally going out. Deus is fixing our things and putting it inside the bag. I came to him and lean my body to him. I want to hug him but my left arm is still in a bandage and my right arm still hurts when I tried to move it.

"You want something love?" he stopped what he's been doing and turn to me. He looks at me and trying to read my face.

"You want hug?" he asked and I nod multiple times. Yes, he knew me too well. He gives me what I want in a speed of lighting. He is too careful not to hurt me.

"Thank you" I whispered to him.

"Everything for you love." he kissed my forehead. He cupped my face and pinched my cheeks. "I think you lost some weight. We need to take it back. We will eat a lot after we get out of here."

"I look the same babe. You're overseeing things." I said. He keeps on saying I lost weight when I actually didn't.

"Still, you need to eat a lot." what a hard headed man.

"Okay okay as if I'm going to win an argument with you." I rolled my eyes and he chuckled.

I called my personal nurse to help me change my clothes. I felt so useless. It seems like I lost both of my arms. Deus is feeding me all the time. He also helped me brush my teeth. My personal nurse helps me take a bath and everything that is awkward to be done with Deus.

After I cleaned myself, we're finally ready to go. I'm so excited to go home. My hospital room is nice because I got a private room but it doesn't feel like home.

"Ready to go?" I nod at Deus and he intertwined his fingers to mine and we started to walk. He wanted me to sit and relax in a wheelchair but I don't want to. I insisted that I can walk. My wound in on my arms not on my feet. I'm happy he didn't argue anymore.

A driver fetches us. I also notice a lot of men in suits scattered around the hospital. They also followed us home. What?

"Why are they here?" I whispered to Deus as he opens the car door for me. I am so happy seeing our house a few steps from where I am. There's this feeling of excitement inside me that is unexplainable.

I never been into this place for weeks. I want to run inside and throw myself in our bed but since I am injured I can't.

"For our protection love. I can't let anyone hurt you again." he said and I just nod. I don't wanna question him in regards with this matter. I already experienced being attacked and I know what he's been doing is our safety.

We entered the house and at last I feel at home. I go to see the kitchen and the dining. I also went to our bedroom and sit on the bed. I miss this. Deus is with me wherever I go.

"You don't need to follow me around babe." I said to him.

"I want you near me. The last time I lose sight of you, you were shot twice so I better stay with you all the time" he said while he is removing his shirt leaving him topless.

This guy really knows how to shut me up. We're living in the same roof for almost a year now and still I am feeling a bit shy whenever I saw him like that. I look at his face, then at his neck, broad shoulders, perfect chest down to his abs. I gulped. Why am I feeling a little hot?

"Tell me when you're done ogling at me so I change my clothes" Deus smirked at me and I rolled my eyes at him. I tried to hide how embarrassed I am. He keeps on telling me that I am a tease when he is the real one.

"Done?" he asked again taking small steps at me.
