Chapter 18

• Isadora's POV
• It's been hours, No one has said a single word since the nurse left. Not that there was anything to say in the first place. Rafael was in a trance like state. He hasn't moved from staring at his blood covered hands. I get up and grab his arm which seems to jolt him out of his trance and he looks up at me. His eyes were red and puffy. His hands were stained with blood but it wasn't just Mirella's. A few minutes after the nurse left, Rafael beat his hands bloody on the walls. It took all his brothers, Emiliano and two securily guards to restrain him. When he finally calmed down, he went into a catatonic state the rest of the time.
• "Come with ne baby." I say gently. He didn't say anything, He just got up and let me guide him into the bathroom. I ran the water and put his hands underneath. Gently nursing his torn up knuckles. Suddenly he jerks his hands away and yanks me close to his chest. Crying as he burried his face into my neck.
