At the last minute, the man caught one of her hands as her legs dangled in the air. Using all his strength, he tried lifting her up.
“Why are you saving me? Just let me go!” She shouted at the man that just saved her. “Just shut up and stop struggling.” He said as he used all his strength to pull her falling body off the bridge. After making sure she wouldn’t try anything stupid after her feet touches the ground, he breathed a sigh of relief as he glared at her as if saying why is she so stupid to think committing suicide would solve all her problems. Too weak to say anything, Jane collapsed due to exhaustion. “Hey,” the man protected her body from falling on the cold bridge floor. “Open your eyes and talk to me.” Not receiving any response, he carried her in a bridal style as he walked hurriedly to his car that was parked on the other side of the bridge. “Boss, what is wrong with her?” His driver, who had been watching his boss that wouldn’t care about anything even if the world collapsed in front of him, and wouldn’t even bat an eyelid if someone died in front of him, carried the unknown woman to the car with impatience written all over his face, asked the man. “Just shut the fuck up and open the door.” He shouted at the driver, who shivered and also rushed to open the car back door. “Drive to the hotel immediately.” He ordered his driver. “Yes boss,” he didn't need to be told twice. As they drove to the hotel they lodged in, the man was in a deep thought. He doesn’t know why he felt so scared of losing someone he didn't even know. He felt a sense of familiarity looking at her back view when he was sitting in his car, looking out of the window in boredom a moment ago. He came to Los Angeles for a business deal a week ago. It was a business trip that needed his present, if not, he wouldn’t be here. “Boss, we are here.” The voice of his driver brought him out of his thoughts. Not wasting any time, he carried Jane, who had been resting her head on his lap, out of the car in a hurry. “Leonard, you are ba…” Another man could be seen coming out of the hotel lounge, putting on a swimsuit with a towel hanging on his neck. Without need to tell, he definitely wanted to go for a swim. “Just shut up and come and take a look at her immediately.” Leonard didn’t let him finish his statement before shouting at him without stopping his footsteps as he made his way to the elevator. Looking puzzled, Dylan followed behind him looking lost. When has welcoming his friend turned to a fight? And what did he see just now? His friend was carrying an unconscious woman with fear evident on his face? He even brought her to him personally so he can check up on her. Who can explain what was going on to him? After giving the driver a curious look, showing how interested he was to know all that happened for the woman to end up here, he followed behind Leonard hurriedly. The elevator which Leonard entered with Jane in his arms was about to close when Dylan rushed in. “Who is she? Why did it seem you are almost losing your mind?” Dylan asked. “We will talk about that later. Right now, I want you to take a look at her.” Leonard replied. Ding! The elevator opened after ascending to the fifty sixth floor, which was the highest floor in the hotel they lodge in. Leonard rushed out of the elevator after it opened. Kicking the presidential suite door, he entered hurriedly as he placed Jane on the bed. “Why are you just standing there? Check what is wrong with her immediately.” “Right away.” Daniel replied after being stunned for the second time today with all Leonard's actions since he came back. Without wasting time, he went over to check on Jane, who was lying on the bed with a pale face. Dylan began examining Jane, checking her vital signs. She is exhausted, dehydrated and it’s like she just donated blood recently. My equipment are not here with me, so I can’t be sure of that. We need to get her stabilized.” Leonard’s face darkened with concern. “Get what you need, now!” Dylan quickly placed a call to his girlfriend, Lucy, who came together with him to Los Angeles for this trip. She was in their hotel room. “Lucy, bring my first aid kit, we have an emergency. I’m in Leonard’s room.” “What happened, is Mr. Bank sick?” Lucy asked with concern laced on her voice. “No, it’s not Leonard that’s sick, it’s someone else. Be fast, when you reach here, you will get to know the details.” After saying that, he hung up. “She will be here soon.” Dylan said as he continued his examination on Jane. Leonard gaze lingered on Jane's features. Something about her resonated with him. “Who is she?” Dylan asked, curiosity getting the better of him. Leonard hesitated before answering him. “I don’t know her. I saw her on the bridge… she was going to jump.” Dylan’s eyes widened. “You saved her life Leonard?” Leonard was about to reply when the door of the presidential suit was pushed open, revealing Lucy, who was putting on a short red gown that complimented her skin perfectly. As she entered, her eyes widened in shock as she saw who was lying on the bed. “Jane? Oh my God, is that…?”Sir Edward immediately rescued Ivy from his angry son. Leonard blamed his family for misleading him, making him accept Ivy as his wife. His mother breaks down in tears, asking her son forgiveness, telling him that they thought that Ivy was the only good woman for him.Leonard snorted. He didn’t wait to listen to their rubbish. It’s five in the morning when he left the hospital. He had told his family to forget having a son like him if he can’t get his wife back. This was when the Banks knew that they have wrong Leonard and his wife. However, there is no medicine for regret.Leonard made his way to the Lockwood’s mansion. Seeing their faces, he knew he wasn’t welcome here. He was also ashamed of himself. He asked them about Jane’s whereabouts but none of them speak to him. After a few minutes passed, the Lockwood still didn’t welcome him. Evelyn was the angriest among them. She lashed out at him, telling him how Jane had suffered silently for the past few month.Leonard left the Lockw
Days turned into weeks, before Jane knew it, three weeks had passed since Leonard wakes up. She had tried all her possible best to see him, but she was block from all angle. The day she had confronted him and his family, with Ivy at the hospital, that was the day she had seen her husband last. She had rushed to Dylan office that day to ask him about the reason Leonard forgot about her. Dylan was surprised at first. He didn’t believe that of all people, his friend would forget the woman he can sacrifice his life to protect. Dylan had explained that due to the gunshot, his brain might have been affected, shutting itself down of the memories of whatever happened when the incident happened.A weeks time, her pregnancy would be four month. Her baby bumps had already started getting noticed. Her mother had already know that she was pregnant. The Lockwoods were not happy with the Banks for treating Jane the way they treated her.Although they were the one at fault, they can’t tolerate thei
Leonard's head was spinning at Ivy’s words. Different broken images filled his mind. However, the woman in his memories, he didn’t see her face well. Her face was blurry, but her figure seems to look like the woman in front of him.With this, he didn’t doubt her anymore. “I’m sorry for forgetting about you, wife. What happened? How long have I been in the hospital?” Leonard asked Ivy the question he didn’t seem to have an answer to.Ivy explains everything to him. He answered all his questions. Hearing him call her “wife” made butterflies flutter in her stomach. She told him about how he tried to save someone, but he got hurt in the process. Ivy told him all sorts of bad things about Jane. Not only did she put him in this condition, she didn’t care about his health at all. Ivy lied to Leonard that Jane hadn’t been in the hospital since Leonard was confirmed to be in a coma. She told him that she was the only one that had stayed with him for the past two months.Leonard’s expression t
“You Lockwoods dare to deceive the Banks by giving out a divorcee for marriage?” Sir Edward walked towards the women and pointed a shaky finger at Jane and her mother.Evelyn was speechless. She doesn’t know how to defend her family since they were wrong in the first place. Just when sir Edward was about to continue cursing at Jane and her mother, the operating room light turned from red to green.Jane was the first to notice. She immediately rushed towards the door. Not long, Dylan and his team of doctors walked out.“Dylan, how is my husband?” Jane fist was clenched beside her, fearing the worst. Dylan's expression wasn’t smiling at all.“The operation was successful. However, when Leonard would wake up is still unknown. He was lucky enough that the bullet barely escaped his heart. He will be in the ICU for observation for the next twenty-four hours. If he wakes up before twenty-four hours, his life would be saved. If he doesn’t, be ready for the worst. After he informed them about
It wasn’t up to thirty minutes before Jane was revived. She wake up to see a nurse changing her drip, smiling down at her.“Mrs. Bank, you are awake?” The nurse was pleased that Jane woke up earlier than expected.Jane scanned the hospital room briefly, before she hurriedly stand up from the bed. She immediately removed the IV drip that was inserted in her vein.The nurse immediately panicked. “Mrs. Bank, where are you going to? This isn’t the right time for you to run around. You need enough rest.” Jane didn’t reply her. She continue moving towards the door. Seeing this, the nurse have no other choice than to inform her about how delicate she is at the moment.“Mrs. Bank, if you don’t want anything to happen to your baby, you need to calm down.” The nurse statement make Jane halt in her steps. She turned around to look at the nurse in confusion.Baby, where is the baby? Jane was confused as she looked around the hospital room, but no child was there. Seeing her dazed look, the nurse
Jane immediately raises her head from Leonard’s neck to see Teddy pointing a gun at the back of Leonard’s head. Her eyes widened in shock. No, she would never allow anything to happen to Leonard. How would she leave without him?“Teddy, are you sick? If you dare shoot at Leonard, I won’t spare you.” Jane screamed.Teddy was slightly dazed at being shouted at by Jane, who didn’t dare to even look at him in the face when she was still with him. Now, for the sake of another man, she dares to threaten him. He was unwilling. He couldn’t accept this. Jane was his. The only man she should care about was him.“If you want me to spare him, come here.” Teddy’s voice was slightly gentle as he spoke to Jane.Jane wanted to jump out of Leonard’s arms but Leonard wouldn’t allow her.“Stay still. Why are you so eager to jump into other men's arms in front of me?”Jane was furious. She hit Leonard’s chest in anger as she tried to free herself from him, however, he wouldn’t budge. This man, in the fac
