The Billionaire's wife Chapter 18
©S A F I E CHAPTER 18 GABRIEL I hesitated, standing in front of the operating room, my eyes puffy as I look back at Neola and Luke. The pair looks nervous yet hopeful, I gave a nod at Luke and was about to approach Neola when the doctor approaches me. The doctor nervously smiled at me before saying, "I am glad to inform you, Mr. West that the baby and Mrs. West are stable." Neola squeaked next to me, her face splitting as she smiled. " It has taken us a while to be able to proceed with the operation because we needed to regulate their vitals. There have been some clotting because of the scarcity of oxygen on their system and we cannot let her give birth naturally because she is so weak to do so. Additional to that, she's unconscious, which results to us performing the caesarean section, come on inside now for the cutting of the cord." The doctor returns in the room without waiting for me. I stole a glance back at the pair before following him in. A nurse appeared beside me a

© S A F I E CHAPTER 19 NEOLA "Gabe? How come you are here?” I whispered to my brother who is sleeping peacefully next to Elle. He bolted up from his seat, his face dishevelled."Oh, I-uh, I fall asleep? Did I fell asleep? " He frowned down at his shoes, scratching his head and looking more like a ripe tomato with his hair rumpled, his shirt wrinkled. “I didn’t expect that I will fall asleep.” He brushes his hands on his face and tried to tame his hair. I could've laughed at him in a different situation but not right now. He looks pitiful; He really is suffering. "How is she?" I ask him, my eyes trained on Elle's face. She has dark circles under her eyes and she looks paler than she used to. I sat across Gabriel, giving him some time to manage his thoughts. "There have been no improvements with her condition. They say that it might take her a while for her body to recover because of what happened." I turn my gaze at him, his eyes were red and he sniffed, averting his eyes, "I

I stared at my watch and waited 10 more seconds, transferring the bouquet on my other hand, looking at the door as the sign changes from 'closed'"Mr. West, you're early again," I smiled at the Liza, the elderly nurse who watches over the neonatal platform. She handed me the usual costume which includes some gowns, cap and a mask. I shrug off my watch and give her my phone before putting on the hospital gown over my suit, hair cover on my head and mask over my mouth.It's been a week after the accident. A week without a response from Elle after the incident of her eye, opening. There's a little to no update from Joe searching for Cherry and Victoria.Though we have figured that Victoria has been undergoing therapy somewhere in Europe that is not disclosed by her brother whom I have to track down for weeks. As for Cherry,

© S A F I E CHAPTER 21 ELLE *dream* I felt so cold. I look around, not understanding why I feel so wet and cold, as though I am drenched with water. I blink my eyes and my vision adjusted, showing me the view of the vast ocean. The sight of it suddenly made me scared and I cowered. In that instant, a man appeared in front of me and my heartbeat doubled. Who is this man? I stared at the man as he struggled with the ropes; His coat was drenched, face ashen as he frowns holding my hand now, which surprises me, "Go to your Mama, Ella!" "But Papa-" "Now, go!" He pushes me, making me stumble off the deck and down to where my mother sat on the bed, comforting my brother. I couldn't fight the curiosity I am feeling as I stared at the woman and her child, cowering from under the broken sails of the ship, the wind blowing wildly, "Mama! What's happening?" Thunder rumbled in the distance and I crouch down, hugging my knees so that I am protected. "Mama, what is happening? Why so lo

I was surprised when Neola suddenly stands from her chair, turning her head on the floor as she bit her lip, "Neo?""Uhm-I probably should be going, I needed to-" She paused, her cheeks red making me figure just as much of what she was thinking. I shake my head at her direction, taking Jacob's flannels as I lean close to her and whispered, "Neola," she raises her head, her eyes lost and guilty, "I'm talking about my boy, Jacob. There will be no boy on earth that will receive my love more than my angel. Only him, Neola...""But, how 'bout me?" The blonde lad suddenly peered out of the door as I speak; Luke came in and I settled back on the bed, watching him as he prances towards me, taking a seat next to me and resting his head on my shoulder. "Don't you love me too?""Luke," I can't help but smile at him as I reminisce the day I woke up a week ago from what I thought was an endless sle

© S A F I E CHAPTER 23 GABE "I need you to settle my appointments for tomorrow with the Bueno's," I glance at Joe as he sat across me, his form stiff. "And I need you to make sure about the information about Cherry and Victoria. Had there been any occurrences that might lead us to them or it completely ceased?" I shoot questions at him, not wanting to waste any moment as I start to phase. "It has been half a year or so since we heard about Cherry Woods. She completely disappeared in the face of the earth." He cleared out his throat and nodded like he needs to do that to convince himself that it has almost been seven months. He gripped the back of the chair and focused his gaze at me, "It seems like Cherry is Victoria. They have the same features and we can't find any trace of Cherry Woods as though she was a made-up person. I am pretty sure that Victoria did that to make you believe. She stopped attending to her shrinks a couple of months ago, Mr. Atkinson, remember?"I nodded a

©S A F I E CHAPTER 24 ELLE "Yeah," I caress my son's cheek and wipe the drool on the sides of his mouth. Jacob gurgled in appreciation and stick his tongue out, making me laugh at him. I smooth his head, making fun of his little spatter of hair and put the bottle of milk on the bedside table, listening to Luke as he talks on the other line. 'Do you think you can manage to bring him with you?' "Mmhmm, I am confident." I push the blanket off me and carry pulled Jacob by his feet making him giggle as he enjoyed sliding down the bed, "Oh, right. It's 6 in the morning now, maybe I'll just meet you there at 9?" 'The Italian restaurant, yes. But I am planning about treating Jacob to a toy store nearby. We shall meet there.'"Okay. See ya," The other line ended and I put the phone back at the side table, bouncing Jacob on my hips. I snatch his bath towel and nuzzled his cheek making him giggle and hit my face with his chubby little hands, "You, my little prince will finally go out wi

©S A F I E CHAPTER 25 GABE "Everything's being monitored, sir. We expect that within 24 hours, the plan will work. Victoria should just take the bait and we got her," I squinted my eyes at Ryan as I listen to his report, raising an eyebrow at his words, "Are you certain?" "Yes, sir. Considering the possibilities, Victoria shall need assistance to carry on with her plan and with this system, we can easily track her down as soon as she uses her card.""Feasible, I guess. You may now retire the rest of the night, Ryan." I hear him shuffle through the door and wait for his footsteps to fade out of the room and back to the hall. I put the files down and take the picture Joe has brought for me from his last visit to Elle's place.I stared, scrutinizing the picture. My chin, my eyes, my hair, my nose...everything. No one will doubt it that he's really my son. My boy has grown so much in just two months since I saw him. I never got the chance to hold him or speak to him since we had
