Chapter 3

ผู้เขียน: Cocojam
The interrogation room door was kicked open.

Alex stormed in.

The pool of blood beneath me was growing, staining the entire chair red.

"Alex!" I reached for him with my mangled hand.

But Scarlett quickly stepped between us.

"Don't go near her!" she yelled, grabbing Alex's arm. "This killer has studied you too well!"

"She probably had plastic surgery to look like Valentina! She even copied her voice!"

Alex stopped.

"You protect Valentina so well, they knew that was your weak spot," Scarlett pressed on. "The second you get close, they'll find a way to kill you!"

"No!" I cried out in despair. "I'm Valentina! I'm your wife!"

Scarlett turned and walked toward me.

Her hands started patting me down.

"Just as I thought!"

She pulled a small metal device from my clothes.

"A pressure-plate bomb!"

She held it up high for Alex to see.

Then she slapped me hard across the face.

"Damn killer! Trying to blow up my man!"

Alex's face darkened instantly.

He turned away in disgust, as if he'd seen something vile.

"How could I fall for a trick like that?"

"Maybe there isn't even a baby in her belly," Scarlett said venomously. "Or maybe the baby's already dead and she's packed with explosives. We should cut her open and check."

This time, Alex said nothing.

His silence was permission.

"Doctor!" Scarlett yelled.

A doctor in a surgical mask walked in, holding a scalpel and anesthesia.

"No anesthetic," Scarlett stopped him. "I want her awake."

The doctor hesitated for a second, then nodded.

Alex turned to leave.

Just then, his phone rang.

"Boss?" It was the butler's voice. "The missus disappeared on her way to the concert hall."

Alex laughed.

"Her due date is today. She must have gone into labor and been taken to the hospital."

His voice was filled with excitement and anticipation.

"Clear out the jewelers! Find every doctor in this city! Find out which hospital my wife is in! Now!"

"I'm going to be a dad!"

He was as giddy as a child.

He didn't notice that behind him, a scalpel was already slicing into my stomach.

"Aaaargh!"

The pain almost made me black out.

The doctor quickly gave me a shot of adrenaline.

"This will keep you wide awake," he muttered.

The blade cut deep into my abdomen. Blood gushed out.

I could feel my life draining away.

Just as I thought I was about to die, I heard it.

A baby's cry.

Faint, but clear.

My heart nearly stopped.

"My baby!" I screamed with my last bit of strength. "Let me see my baby!"

But Scarlett clamped her hand over the baby's mouth and nose.

The crying stopped.

She tossed the tiny body into a trash bag.

"Nothing to see," she sneered. "Too bad. Stillborn."

My heart died.

My tears ran dry.

My soul shattered.

Scarlett pulled out a fake bomb she'd prepared, smeared it with my blood, and ran out to find Alex.

"I was right! She had a stillborn, and she really was rigged with a bomb!"

Outside the door, Alex was still on the phone, ecstatic.

"Buy Valentina the best jewelry! And arrange a private concert! Give her anything she wants!"

Anything she wants.

I lay on the operating table and let out a bitter laugh.

Nothing I wanted mattered anymore. Our story was over. Written in blood.

The heart monitor next to me beeped weaker and weaker.

Alex and Scarlett's voices faded into the distance.

I thought I was about to die.

"I can't just let you die," the doctor suddenly whispered.

He injected me with an anesthetic.

"Hold on. I'm getting you to a hospital."

The wail of a siren grew closer.

As they wheeled me out of the interrogation room, I was already drifting off.

Rain fell on my face.

I felt something cold against my neck.

The necklace.

The one Alex had just given me for my birthday.

Engraved on it were the words: "My Love."

My love. How ironic.

Just as the gurney was about to be loaded into the ambulance, I heard Alex's sharp voice.

"Wait!"

  • His Pregnant Queen in The Death Game   Chapter 10

    Valentina's POVAlex just stared at me.Then, he slowly pulled a gun from his waistband.He checked the magazine. Six bullets, all loaded."You want me to die, don't you?" he asked softly.His shoulders slumped in defeat. "Alright, Valentina," he whispered. "Okay."He placed the gun in my ruined hand. The cold metal sent a shiver through me."Go on, Valentina," he said, kneeling before me and pressing the muzzle against his own heart. "End it. End my pain, and end your torment."I looked at the gun in my hand.It would be so easy.Just a gentle squeeze of the trigger, and the man who destroyed my life would be gone.My child would be at peace. My pain would end.But I didn't move.Not because I still loved him.But because... letting him die so easily would be getting off too cheap."You think dying will absolve you of your sins?" I asked, my voice cold. "You think one bullet can make up for the life of our child?"Pain flashed in Alex's eyes."Then what do you want me to do?" he choke

  • His Pregnant Queen in The Death Game   Chapter 9

    Valentina's POV"You're still recovering. When you're stronger, I'll take you to the cemetery."Alex spoke cautiously, as if I were a porcelain doll about to shatter. "Our son... I had the finest tombstone made for him. White marble, and...""I want a divorce."I cut him off.Alex froze, looking as if he'd been struck by lightning. "Valentina, you just woke up. Don't say things like that...""I want the divorce papers on my table tomorrow," I continued. "And don't touch me again."I looked down at my hands.The long, elegant fingers were now twisted into impossible shapes.Purple scars crisscrossed the skin.These hands could never play the cello again.They could never stroke my child's face.But I didn't cry. I didn't feel despair. I didn't even feel anger.I was just... empty."Valentina, please, let me explain..." Alex knelt by my bedside.The feared Godfather was on his knees like a sinner."I'll find the best doctors in the world to fix your hands," he choked out."Germany, Switz

  • His Pregnant Queen in The Death Game   Chapter 8

    Valentina's POVDarkness.An endless, suffocating darkness.After my heart started beating again, I felt myself floating in a void, not quite alive, but not dead either.Sometimes I could hear Alex's voice, full of desperate sobs and confessions.But I couldn't go back.The Valentina who loved him was dead.She died in the rain at the docks. Died under the hunt he personally ordered.Died the moment our baby's cries were silenced.I heard soft footsteps. Someone entered the room.It wasn't Alex.His steps were heavier, weighed down with guilt.This person's steps were light, but filled with malice."It's ironic, isn't it?" Scarlett's voice echoed in the room, dripping with sick jealousy. "The great Don of New York, so devoted to a vegetable. He even declared war on my family for you."I heard her approach the bed.I could feel her venomous gaze on me."He hasn't slept in three days," she hissed, her voice a venomous whisper. "He's filled this room with cellos. Sits there torturing them

    Alex's POV"Everyone out!" the doctor yelled, pushing the crowd away. "The patient needs a sterile environment! Clear the room, now!"I was dragged out of the operating room.I pressed myself against the door, desperately trying to see through the small glass window.I watched them working on Valentina, hooking her up to a maze of machines.I watched her pale face.Half an hour later, the OR door finally opened.The doctor walked out, exhausted, pulling off his blood-stained gloves.I rushed toward him."How is she? How is Valentina?""We brought her back," the doctor said heavily. "But...""But what?" I grabbed his shoulders."Due to the prolonged blood loss, severe emotional trauma, and lack of oxygen to the brain..." The doctor sighed. "She may be in a vegetative state."The words hit me like a physical blow.A vegetative state..."Is there any hope she'll wake up?" I asked, my voice trembling."It's a long shot," the doctor said, shaking his head. "And even if she does, the damage

  • His Pregnant Queen in The Death Game   Chapter 6

    Alex picked up the silver cross, his hands shaking violently.The words "My eternal love" glinted under the lights.The token of his vow to protect me forever was now a testament to the crime he had committed.Scarlett tried to comfort him."Alex... I know you're sad, but Valentina is...""Get away from her!"Alex roared, shoving her away with a furious burst of strength.Scarlett slammed into the wall, letting out a pained groan."Don't you dare come near her!" Alex yelled. "Don't you touch her!"He pulled a gun from his waistband, the dark muzzle pointed straight at the doctor's head."You see this hospital?" Alex's voice was a low growl, the gun still pressed to the doctor's temple. "If she doesn't walk out of here alive, I'll burn it to the ground. With you in it. Now, save her."The doctor was shaking from head to toe."S-sir, she's gone... Her heart has been stopped for over ten minutes...""Then find a way to make it start again!" Alex pressed the gun to the doctor's temple."Sh

  • His Pregnant Queen in The Death Game   Chapter 5

    The pain was finally over.I realized I must be dead.The gut-wrenching pain, the desperate screams—they all vanished when my heart stopped.My soul floated in the air, looking down at myself on the operating table.What a wreck.My white dress was soaked in rain and blood, torn to shreds. The dog bites on my ankle were a mess of raw flesh.The gaping wound on my stomach was a horrifying gash.But what hurt the most were my hands.Fingers that were once long and graceful were now purple and twisted, bones jutting out beneath the skin.These were the hands I was so proud of. The hands that played the cello.The hands my beloved husband let be destroyed."There's nothing more we can do," the doctor said, shaking his head. "Go see if the family is here."Just as a nurse was about to leave, the door was kicked open.Alex burst in, his face a storm of anger and disbelief."This isn't Valentina," he roared, his voice cracking. "The informant was wrong. You can't tell me this imposter is my w
