“What’s happening to me? Is the baby okay?” she repeated the same question as they reeled her on a gurney. They arrived only 15 minutes later at the hospital, she was bleeding all the way there. Doctor Collins was by her side along with the nurses who pushed the gurney to the emergency room. “We don’t know yet, Jamie, we will take a look and you will have to stay calm.” “But there’s so much blood, it can’t be good … oh my God, is my baby okay?” she started to cry. Doctor Collins stroked her hair, “It’s okay honey, take deep breaths, we’ll have a look at your baby.” When they arrived at the ER, Gabriel and Perry were asked to wait outside. “Blood pressure … let’s check the vitals.” Everyone was busy around her. She couldn’t focus on anything other than the fact she was bleeding. “I can’t feel the baby,” she cried. “I can’t feel the baby,” she was panicking. They smeared cold gel around her stomach and Dr. Collins began her examinations. She looked concerned as she moved the sc
Rich Love Forty Three
It felt like all the lights in her world had been turned off, everything was dark. The baby blues hit hard. She curled up on her bed at the hotel for days. Everything hurts. Her soul ached and nothing can make her feel better. Her breasts were leaking milk, her whole body swollen, the wound from the C-section was painful but there was no baby. The worst thing was there was no explanation to why it had happened, one minute it was there, healthy and fine, the next it was gone. One minute they were planning to welcome a new person into their lives, the next was a funeral. She didn’t want to be there. She didn’t want to bury a tiny casket with her child in it. What was once growing inside her body was going to rot in the ground. Gabriel and Perry took care of the arrangement and said their goodbyes to tiny baby Kendall Patricia Love, the name they put on the tombstone. “Can you stay here for awhile? She needs the both of us here … and to tell you the truth, it’s hard for me too …” Ga

Two weeks after her miscarriage, she packed her suitcase. She put in all her maternity clothes she bought in Bhorma, she was taking them home to keep in her closet. She couldn’t bear to look at them anymore, at least for a while. She leftt most of her summer outfit in the hotel’s wardrobe, she will be back in a month or so. She looked into the mirror after she showered, and really looked for the first time. Her breasts, they weren’t round anymore. Her belly was getting back into its normal size, but not quite yet. The small incision from the C-section was visible, it was almost completely healed. Stretch marks, like footprints of what had been in her swollen belly. Soon enough, her body will get back to the way it used to look, except for the stretch marks. She put on her robe, tied the knot and walked out from the bathroom. Gabriel was standing over her suitcases, he came in from the internal elevator. She wasn’t sure what he was doing there. “You’re leaving tomorrow?” his hands w

“Do you think he really has a torture chamber in his basement? To be fair, I’ve never really explored his house, and it’s huge,” Jamie asked Perry when she was back home. Perry laughed it off, “Pfft … come one, Gabriel? My guess would be a dungeon where he keeps his Pegasus or a cave at best, you know … where he stores all his high tech shit for doomsday prepper.” They laughed. “But honestly, Perry … I don’t really know him that well, the times we spent together were amazing, but he never really opened up to me … it felt like he’s incapable of doing that, he didn’t stop me from leaving, even though I wanted him to, maybe he didn’t want me to stay … not really?” Perry leaned closer to her on the sofa, “It seems like he knows you better than you know him … you’re taking this break to figure yourself out and you should … I think Gabriel is a very intimidating figure because of who he is, it made you feel that distance, but everytime I see the two of you together, all I can see are tw

Jamie looked over her shoulder, the black car was there. After what Gabriel said, the car that gave her a sense of protection now felt like a threat. Her heart raced. “Are you sure they’re not your men?” “Men? There are multiple people inside? You can see them?” She started to pick up her pace as the car moved forward following her footsteps. “No … the windows are pitch black.” She glanced back at the car, “I think they know something’s up,” she said and ran faster. Her mind told her to run as fast as she could to a public area, but the commercial area is 5 minutes away. Then she heard a car door slam, and another, and another. Her earphones fell off from her running, she didn’t have time to put them back on. “They’re chasing me, Gabriel …” She tried to take a glimpse of the men who were running after her, but she didn’t recognize any of them. Three men in black suits and sunglasses were right on her tail. She looked around, there was no one else but her. Her constant looking

She looked at the barrel of the gun in horror, she laid back on the chair and raised both hands in front of her. There was no way of telling what he was going to do next. If he was going to shoot her, all she could do was stall him while she figured out a way to escape her situation. “Eddie … please, calm down, can you just tell me what’s going on? I promise I will try my best to help you,” she said calmly. “You had your chance to help me when I first came to you, Jamie! But did you? Huh?” he stood up still pointing the gun at her. “I’m sorry … I’m sorry … I couldn’t help you then, there was no way I could’ve helped you then, I didn’t know anything about the tapes … but I will try and help you now … if you tell me what the problem is,” she crouched on the armchair looking away from the gun that was so close to her face. Eddie started to pace back and forth, swinging his gun every which way. “He promised not to leak my video … he lied!” he screamed at her. Oh my God, she muttered

“Gabriel … what are you doing here?” she couldn’t figure out whether she was glad to see him or was she more nervous that he was in the room with Eddie holding a gun.Eddie grabbed her and wrapped his arm around her neck and he pointed the gun at her head. “Yeah, Asshole … what are you doing here?” He was calm, even though he too had a gun pointed at his head by one of Eddie’s men. “I believe we have an unfinished business, Eddie … I’m here to settle it … man to man,” he focused his attention on Eddie now. “Why don’t you just let her go so we can talk privately … I’m unarmed … those fine gentlemen have searched me … if you could tell him to leave us alone … I’m all yours,” he offered. Eddie scoffed, “You’re such a cocky son of a bitch … What makes you think you can come here and tell me what to do? I have the upper hand here … you see this gun?” he waved the gun and pointed it back to Jamie’s head. “I’m not afraid to use it … I can make a hole right through her head, right here, rig

A shot was fired. It startled everyone outside. Melvin’s first reaction was to punch one of the guards in the face and took over his gun. The other man pulled his gun from the back of his pants but Melvin was too fast for him. He shot the second man in the leg and arm and took his gun too. A second gunshot was fired. Jamie went into the room, she got down on the floor to avoid a stray bullet. She looked for Gabriel, he was not far from the door, he was on the floor. She saw Eddie still with a gun in his hand, he too was on the floor near the armchair where she had sat. “Eddie! Did you shoot him?” was the first thing that came out of her mouth. “Gabriel!” she shouted in panic. His shirt and jacket were stained with quite a significant amount of blood, but he was conscious. He sat up and checked on his wound. His left abdomen was bleeding. “Are you fucking crazy? What the hell did you do?” she screamed at Eddie. “Come on we have to get you to the hospital,” she looped her arm around
