Chapter 98: Close to The Edge of Death

Bianca grabbed her phone, laptop and locked her office up tight, as she made it down the 15 flight of stairs in agony she saw her mother helping Marco to the kitchen. She followed behind them to the kitchen and stood at the archway looking at them both for long minutes. “I hope we’ve now understood one another, we are partners and that’s it you’ll stop touching me in every way or I’ll make you regret ever knowing me and my mother” she promised. Bianca waited for Marco to agree and once he’d calmed down and Anastasia had given him some ice and a pain pill, he finally shook his head “YES”. Bianca nodded her head and slowly turned to go towards her bedroom smiling the whole way. “Good and by tomorrow I’ll be printing up another contract/agreement about our partnership and you will be signing it. Then having the lawyers file it with the rest” Bianca didn’t wait for him to reply and went to her room. Once inside she dropped everything on her bed and slowly went down to the floor and cried softly feeling the pain ravish her whole body.
A few seconds later out came Breann from her closet with tears in her eyes and trembling, not from fear but with anger knowing if she made herself known to Marco or Bianca, she’d probably end up hurting Marco to the point of hospitalization or even death. Bianca didn’t know who it was but thought it could only be one person “Nevaeh”. When Breann got to the floor and to Bianca’s side, she knew it wasn’t Nevaeh and finally looked up and was in complete shock when she saw that is was Breann. Who was shaking and clenching her teeth and fist tightly together ready for the fight of a lifetime if she needed it to be. Bianca slowly sat up against her bed on the floor and once she was calmed and settled, she opened her eyes and saw Breann setting near the end of the bed on the floor. “Ahhhh… so it’s not a dream” she groaned between the pain that still wouldn’t subside. Bianca slowly lifted her phone and turned on the phones light and shinned it towards her “What are you even doing here? You really should not be here!” she warned.
Breann didn’t say a word just kept shaking, “I was just helping Nevaeh with the list you had her write down and thought it was better than just being somewhere else worried about you.” Bianca slowly moved and tried to get to her feet and every time she just crumbled back down with even more pain. Breann crawled to her side “You don’t deserve to be treated like this and you have all the training you need to kill this man or at least scare him to where he leaves and never comes back” she reminded her. Bianca looked up not wanting to go through the same old song and dance she went through with Nevaeh. “Why, the fuck are you even shaking? You’re supposed to be one of the best, at least what Alex has said” she half smiled. Breann jumped to her feet in one quick move “You think I’m shaking because I’m scared? I’m not scared I’m pissed and ready to kill the bastard, so this is me trying to hold back.” Bianca gave a little smile “Okay….okay killer calm down I’m fine just help me up and get me to the bathroom to take a hot bath. I’m sure I’ve got a couple broken ribs, but they’ll heal.”
Breann slowly helped her to her feet and to the bathroom, “I’ll start your bath and add whatever you want to it. I’m thinking a little lavender? It’ll help your body relax naturally” Breann said as she helped Bianca set on the bench inside her bathroom. Bianca didn’t argue and when the bath was finally ready, she undressed slowly and slowly got in the tub. Of, course not before Breann got naked and jumped in first. Bianca just eyed her and once again did not feel like arguing, but actually could use someone to hold her for a little while. 45 minutes later Bianca was calmer, and her body was all nice and clean thanks to the help of Breann. Who also helped her out of the bath and into her robe “I’m going to wrap your ribs up in some ace bandage wraps I’ve got a couple different ones here in my gym bag.” Bianca tried to reassure Breann that she’d be fine, “Again sorry for the blood I’m really having one of those months” she groaned (ha-ha) they both chuckled. Bianca sat on the edge of her bed and waited for Breann to return from the bathroom and when she did, she had her gym bag in one hand and the wide bandage in the other.
Bianca wasn’t sure what was happening “are you leaving once you wrap me up?” she asked. Breann shook her head “yes” and then turned her head “do you want me to stay?” Bianca didn’t want to admit it but didn’t want to be alone either. Bianca slowly rose to her feet and dropped her robe and raised her arms to let Breann wrap her ribs up. Breann stepped closer and slowly and carefully wrapped her up. “Now just to let you know this will be off by morning due, to I hate any type of clothing or anything on me when I’m sleeping” she said in warning. Bianca smiled the best she could and continued “Ummm you might want to stay to make sure it stays on, but if you need to be somewhere I understand.” Breann smiled and shook her head “no” indicating there was nothing she needed to get back to. Bianca slowly pulled back the sheets of her brand, new clean bed and slowly took Breann’s hand to help her into the massive bed. Breann smiled “Now this bed is impressive I don’t think I’ve ever seen one quite so big before” she confessed.
Bianca smiled and waited for Breann to get into the bed. “Ummm maybe I should be on the outside part of the bed in-case you get up in the middle of the night and need help to the restroom or need anything” she said as she walked to the closet and undressed. Once back at Bianca’s bed Breann went to get into the bed and before she got completely in, she stopped. “I’m not sure if this is a good idea and I know that the other day at the gym wasn’t a good end to your leaving… maybe I should go or just sleep on the floor to make sure things are okay with you until morning” she admitted, and Bianca was happy that Breann actually saw it but was irritated all at the same time. Bianca didn’t say anything just shrugged her shoulders and grabbed Breann’s hand before she could get any farther away from her and pulled her into the bed and with such force and pain to her body that Breann landed directly on top of Bianca.
Bianca gasped a little but didn’t say a word, “Good god Bianca are you okay did I hurt you? I’m so sorry, see this is what I’m talking about maybe I should sleep on the floor.” Bianca turned and let Breann slide to the bed “I’m fine chill out this is not my first rodeo with being battered and hurt so if you just relax and calm down for a minute. To at least enjoy this amazing massive bed that you can have however much space you need to sleep.” Bianca kissed Breann and once their lips touched Breann let it all go.
Bianca looked down at her and shook her head “no” when Breann tried to move away from her, and Breann frowned just a little. That was until Bianca slowly touched her and leaned down. “Trust me sweetness I’m bleeding like a river and the dam could break at any time” Bianca warned in a whisper into her ear as she stroked her arms. They both laughed until Bianca couldn’t even breath do to all the pain in her ribs. Bianca decided to roll over Breann and take two pain pills and rolled back over to face her new bed partner. Breann smiled and got a little closer and whispered, “I never thought I’d ever be here and if I was, I never thought it be in this room in this bed sleeping next to you.” Bianca smiled and rubbed Breann’s body up and down, “Now I’m not going to get anything started, because right now I just need someone to be here with me and hold me” she said as she slowly kissed Breann’s lips sweetly. Breann returned the kiss with sweet softness and passion that she was feeling for Bianca even though she tried her hardest not to. “Turn around let me hold you the best I can without hurting you” she whispered.
