INICIAR SESIÓN34That a part of me was scared of losing him.Or worse, that a part of me still had FEELINGS FOR HIM.No, impossible!!!I shook my head cancelling out the thought instantly.There was no way in hell that was possible...Just then, the lights of the energy room went off and shortly after, the doors pulled open for a nurse to step out which prompted us to our feet.We had just approached her to query her when she quickly left in the other direction.Both Jarry and I stared at each other before staring at the open door where footsteps were heard.Now, a doctor emerged breathing a sigh."Doctor, how... How is he?" Both Jarry and I spoke in unison."Are you the males family?" Inquired the young doctor top see us nod in acknowledgment."Well... We managed to stabilize him and stop his bleeding.But I suggest you take immense care of him.The stress and pressure placed on his body should be avoided at least until after his body has fully healed" advised the doctor for a sigh of relief to qu
33"Lucian!!!" My voice tore through the air.The panic that set itself increased on seeing Lucian collapse to the floor.Quickly, my feet gave way. Hands going to touch him unsure of what to do but yell."Jarry" a sob escaped my lips. Voice croaked as I yelled out his name."Jarry come quick" I shouted surely ringing alarm bells in his ears that made him jog outside standing by the doorway but on seeing Lucian collapse down to the floor, his eyes widened before approaching him."What happened?" He questioned staring at me.Through blurry eyes dampened with tears, I looked at Jarry."I don't know. He suddenly started bleeding and... And..." The rest seemed to be cut off from my throat."Shit" he cursed up on seeing the blood that stained Lucian's shirt. His blood increased soaking more portion of his shirt."He's been bleeding for a while" he stated pressing a hand firmly to his wounds.A groan escaped Lucian's lips, his body reacting weakly to the pressure."I didn't know""You coul
32Indeed chaos rose.The moment Lucian's words eluded his lips, Sophie's eyes went wide.Jarry who was sitting quietly by the side had made a mess of himself when he coughed out the water he had intended to gulp down.Quickly,his hands went to the napkin at the side where he placed it to his lips damping off the water from it.Clarissa on the other hand was dumbfounded.Lucian had taken them all of guard with his answer."Lucian!" She yelled. Fiery gaze directed at him but he simply leaned back on the chair."What? She simply asked a question that needed an answer"He shrugged."So you like my mummy" although her voice was a statement it sounded more like a question still."But you can't like my mummy""Why not?" Asked Lucian. At this Clarissa stood, the chair created an unpleasant noise that dragged everyone's attention."That's enough Lucian" uttered Clarissa.The anger in her voice clearly emitted well.She was scared of agitating her daughter.Scared of Lucian placing useless tho
31It's been three days. Days without sounds of laughter.Where sounds of giggles and the sight of toys lying round was seen no more.On the bed, I laid almost lifeless with eyes that appeared to be a bit sunken.My Head raised to the ceiling staring at the empty space as my mind roamed wild.My appearance was a bit rough and scattered.Apparently, with Sophie gone I appeared to be lost in another world.In those three days, I hadn't eaten much resulting to my leaned state.Though Jarry had assured me that Sophie was in the best hands possible and that no harm had befallen her, I just couldn't place my mind at ease.I had pleaded to him to release Sophie to me but he wouldn't on the basis that Lucian hadn't given him an order to do so.Just as my eyes aimlessly wandered the room, a noise was heard from the living room but I remained still peering my ears open to hear it once again.Someone was in my house!And that couldn't be possible because Sophie was gone and so was William who bu
30In the quiet room which had it's curtain on either side of the room peered open allowing the sun rays to seep in, was a woman who softly hummed a song.Her gaze so gentle as it landed on the figure wrapped up with bandages on the bed.It's been three days he laid there unmoving and in those three days, Lucian's mother- Mrs Lena always visited.Her hands were on the bed. Afraid to touch him. Afraid to hurt him.When she saw what seemed like his eyes flickering, she squinted her gaze at him thinking it might just be her imagination.But when it came again, this time accompanied by a flick of his hand by his side, her eyes went wide in surprise.Body jolted from the seat leaning in towards him."Lucian..." She called softly but there was no response from him.Then again there was a flick of his hands and soon after, his eyes peered open.Dark gaze raised to see the ceiling."Lucian, you're awake" the excited voice of Mrs Lena boomed in his ears making him turn to the side where he sta
29Blood.My vision blurred with the sight of the tremendous amount of blood in my line of sight.It wasn't mine.No.It was his- Lucian's.It was then a realization hit me, Lucian had saved me!***The wailing sound of the ambulance blared in the air and in no time,the cold stench of antiseptics clouded my nostrils, patients crying for a reason or two was enough to make me acknowledge that we had arrived at the hospital.we reached the hospital.Placed up on a stretcher, he was quickly taken in for treatment.I covered my face with my hands and plunged myself into darkness but the chaos around me still seeped through into my ears.My body trembled as I stared down at my hands.The noises increased and the feeling of DEJA VU swept over me.I had experienced this before...Five years ago I was the reason Lucian was brought here and yrs later, I'm still the reason he was here.My feet paced round the corridors for long moments, fingers going to pinch each other waiting in anticipation.
26"I WANT FULL CUSTODY OF SOPHIE "'His words came out firm. UnShaken. And thorough.Like there was no way way to change his mind.His gaze was deadly as he stared at me like some unimportant item that stood before him. My mouth flew agape as I watched him sip the coffee."Never!" I let out in a r
25The preparations were set in motion.With the passport ready and our bags fully arranged, our departure sure did seem like it was set in stone but even with everything planned out, it sure did seem like something was bugging me.The worried look on my face I didn't know I had was seen by William
24"I can't seem to let you go Clarissa.I WON'T"Lucian uttered words that freely penetrated my ears and for a moment, my heart skipped a beat."Clarissa I'm..." Before he could utter the rest of his words, a sharp loud sound echoed round the room.Slap!It was an impact that turned Lucian's face
23"I'M SORRY CLARISSA" he spoke.Lucian held Clarissa so close that he could feel her warmth.He felt the way her body tensed against him.The way a slight gasp eluded her lips."Lu... Lucian?" Stuttered Clarissa and only when his arms around her lessened with hesitation, she turned to fist her ey
