Chapter 3 Accident

Chelsea rushed into the central hospital in town and as she returned to the ward where her mom was, the doctor stopped her before she went knots.

Her mom had been suffering from incurable heart disease, she had been on partial life support for two months and the call the doctor had made was that scary.

“Where is my mom, can I see her?“ she inquired raising her brows.

The lean man with sandy blonde hair found it hard to talk to her but then, Chelsea was losing it.

“I am sorry, Miss McCain, we lost her,“ the young man muttered out faintly.

Taking deep breaths, the young lady burst out in tears as she fell on the ground weeping. Shortly after, she left the mortuary after her mom was put there, she was so confused with the way she had her things breaking her heart and more.

Roaming the streets late at night, Chelsea felt the heat burn in her head, she had just lost her mom, the only lady who supported her that much. This means that the only family member she has left now is her kid brother, he is only ten years old but has a great mind of his own. It is sad how he would have to leave without mom now.

Chelsea hadn’t known she had entered an enclosed street until she saw two men walking up to her.

“See who we’ve gotten here,“ the dark haired fellow said.

Lifting her chin to pair his eyes with the men for the first time, Chelsea’s heart almost sank in her heart. She started moving backward but stopped when she heard another man pull the knife along the long wall.

“Give us your bag,“ the hefty man from behind say.

The young lady was no stand compared to these people, and before she knew it, they had pinned her on the wall, their somewhat leader, taking control.

“She is pretty and can meet my temperament,“ he said.

You spit on his face.

“In your fucking dreams. Now, let go of me before I...“ she started but kept calm when the man slapped her across the face.

“You shut up,“ he said firmly adding more pressure on her by slapping her across the face.

That was literally very scary, she could barely even scream because another blow landed on her stomach. When the man removed a sharp blade and placed the cold metal against her neck, she winced in pain and closed her eyes, she felt like it would take forever to be safe.

“What do you want?“ she asked in a trembling voice.

A small pause came in, Chelsea’s heartbeat accelerated, she feared these men were going to harm her, she was scared of dying, oh yes, she was, and her eyes moistened adding an extra layer of fear, considering that it was the end of her existence.

The dark cuffed hand leaned close to her and Chelsea used it as an opportunity to raise her knee right up to hit the man’s groin with it.

“Ahhh! you silly bitch, wait till I get a grasp of you,“ he screamed as he chased after the lady who had picked on her heels, running for safety.

Chelsea ran for her life but she felt the men’s breath on her nape, it felt so real, as if they were just behind her and ready to clutch her. The main road was close, she was getting there, she could cry for help at that point, but then, as she reached the light, she heard a big scratching voice, she rolled on the car before falling and hitting her head on the ground.

Laying on the ground, she heard people scream, images flickered around her face, the air around her chest had tightened up now, and that is the least she could do right now, to stay alive by opening her eyes.

Louis Joel Parker was from his company, he was meeting a new brand member and a talk with him about providing better services will just accelerate the pace of letting this workout and more.

Throughout the ninety minutes talks and waits, he had one person in mind, that was Chelsea, the warmth that crept through his neck made him want to return back to the school reunion, to know how she is doing, to push his nostrils into her thick Auburn hair. Chelsea was just perfect.

That changed when he drove past the streets and felt the pressure hit his face as he was in his own world not looking at where he was going.

When he ran into a lady, he had not been sure whether he was at fault or not, but when looking around, he noticed that she was being chased.

“What the hell,“ he called out coming out of his BMW, the latest version.

Swirling around it, his jaws drop when he gazed at Chelsea__ his heart lover, he loved her, and seeing that he had run over her because of some silly men, he had the sudden urge to chase them. Well, it happened that for now, saving Chelsea’s life mattered.

“Call an ambulance,“ he shot out ordering the people who had come around to stare at the accident.

Chelsea had blood coming out of her mouth, and her nostrils as well. It made him scared to hell, he didn’t want to lose her especially after seeing her after being separated for several years. He couldn’t risk losing her now that he just found her.

“Chelsea? stay with me please, the paramedics are on their way,“ Louis cried out.

This us the first time he felt that tingling sensation of tears rush at the back of his eyes, he wanted to cry, he knew he would actually do so, but damn, the man can’t that he had run over her made his mind prick him even more.

Chelsea heard Louis’s voice and opening her eyes slightly, she saw him there, that was the last thing she remembered before darkness enveloped her.
