Chapter 3: Cassie & Summer

Hailey

I finally stopped crying after a long time. I don’t know what to even think anymore.

“R-Rob” I still stuttered while I tried to speak.

“yeah, Hailey?” he asked.

“When will I be able to go home?”

“I will ask them. Maybe two days”

“Okay…”

“I will be here, don’t worry” he smiled at me. “Okay?”

“Yeah. my perfect husband”

He smiled again. “yes, my perfect wife”

We smiled for a few moments. He can only make me smile even in these worst moments. I am so blessed to have him. 

“Has Alex contacted you?” I asked him. Alex has been supportive of our child from the start, but strangely he wasn’t here today.

“Nope. Summer did; she said that he is sorry that he is busy and he can’t come”

I sighed. “Ah, I will kill him. You are even busier than him! You are the CEO of the biggest company! And still, you are here, aren’t you!”

He smiled. “Oh okay calm down, baby, it is alright”

I sighed. “Well! I am tired!”

“Then sleep”

“Really?”

“Why not?”

“I wanna talk to you”

“We will talk later”

“Really?”

“Hailey!” he laughed. “Yes”

“Okay,” I smiled back. “Stay by my side for at least ten minutes and then you can go”

“Okay”

I smiled and closed my eyes. I feel safe whenever he is around.

Robert

I was sitting beside her and watched her close her eyes. She looks so beautiful when she sleeps. I mean, she looks beautiful when she is awake too, but even cuter when she is asleep.

I watched her and she slowly drifted to sleep. I have noticed that she is so used to having me by her side that she doesn’t sleep if I am not here.

And if I am here, she would sleep no matter the conditions.

I took out my phone and decided to address the matter to the Police: I am not the Mafia anymore, I would not get involved in all that ever again.

I told the police everything and then they asked me to ask these questions to Hailey because she should know if someone who gives her something to drink or eat, could mix the abortion pills.

I told them I was the only one who ever gave her anything to eat and drink and I told her that no one else should do that. And I of course took all the measures and all the safety precautions!

“So, I hope you can ask her and inform--”

“Yeah sure,” I ended the call. Well, do they really think I am gonna do this shit? When I know that she didn’t take anything from anyone? She knows how dangerous it could be because I am an ex-Mafia. She wouldn’t be so careless.

I stood up and went out.

“When will she be discharged?” I asked the doctor.

“Possibly, tomorrow, if all reports are normal”

“Okay”

I went out.

Cassie

I was in Nicholson’s house. A lot has changed in the last year. Oh yeah, I still do call him Nick sometimes, but he tells me to call him Alex. Well, you can’t change someone’s habit!

I came to know that Nick also had another sister. I was really shocked. They explained to me some of the things, which went totally above my head. I didn’t know that I had a sister!

Well, the house where we lived was sold out and then I shifted with Alex and his mom. Hailey was surprised to know about me too, but that's okay because I was adopted. But I still can’t believe that Alex had a sister and he never told me! 

Well, it brought good because to calm me down, they promised to give me something and I asked for education in Russia and they agreed!

I will go there in almost one month. I am damn excited.

I was at my new house with Alex. Well, he married Summer two months back. I was happy for them. I knew Summer always loved him and well, I didn’t know if he did that much to her, but I guess I was wrong. He wouldn’t marry someone he doesn’t love!

I walked out of my room and Alex was working on his computer.

“hey” I wished him and he looked at me and smiled.

“Hey Cas”

“What’s up?”

“Same old business” he sighed and closed his laptop. He looked at me. “How are you?”

“I am better”

“Take care of yourself”

“It was just a fever”

“And next time, it will just be a slap”

I sighed. “Stop being so overprotective”

“Why would I?”

“Because!! It is too much”

He laughed. “You are so cute. Go and have rest, I have some work”

“Ah, you always want me to go inside!”

“I didn’t say go inside. I just said have rest which means sit down”

I sighed. He is so difficult to understand!

I sat down and he opened his laptop and started working again. Summer brought the breakfast and we ate the food.

Summer makes awesome food. At least, I get such good food because of her!

We were eating the food when Alex’s phone rang.

“Hello?” he picked it up.

“WHAT? WHY!?”

“Oh… I will be there soon…” the call ended.

“What happened?” Summer asked him.

“Hailey’s child was aborted”
