The rain lashed down heavily at the dark, cloudy noon. The weather got surmounted by thunderstorms, lightning strikes, and rumblings. It blew a gale outside; thus, the weather was freezing. Kayla demanded that Anthony told her about his medications. She followed behind Anthony as they went into the secret room, listening as he explained each object found in the room, Sledge trotting beside them. He explained how the temperature bed helped with high temperatures. Kayla even flicked the button of the temperature bed on and off to see how it worked.So far, she hated every single thing he'd explained to her as they were all for his illness, yet they wouldn't save him from dying. The anger and strong emotions the room instilled, gave her the drive to set the room on fire, but she tamed the feelings.“Marcus must have received my gift. It's his rage that is causing the rain.”They got to the part where the medications were kept. Kayla raked her eyes through the good-for-nothing medications
Kayla walked through the hospital lobby. The hospital where Spencer worked. Spencer was the chief director of the hospital. Kayla came up with an idea, so she called Christian and Alicia to a meeting in Spencer's office. As she walked, nervousness beat her. A negative response scared her. What if she got negative responses from Spencer? Getting to Spencer's office door, she opened the door and walked in. All eyes turned to her the moment she stepped in.“Sorry that I'm late.” Kayla stepped forward, standing a few feet from the coffee table. “Anthony told me that I'm his cure. But there's no way I could make him drain me. Even if I were to try, he wouldn't give in. And I don't want to put him through the stress of resisting temptation.” “You forgot one. Losing you can make his life twisted and even worse than a life-threatening illness,” Christian added.“Are you willing to die for him?” Alicia asked.Kayla had no idea why Alicia had to ask, but she said, “I am. But for his happiness,
Like a flash, a day fled by without taking Kayla's pain away. Each day rather added to her pain and fear. Kayla stood staring at her reflection in the bathroom mirror, circling her hand gently on her stomach. One might think she overfed, but her bump was growing. A bump that just started growing would be removed tomorrow. Tomorrow would be a day she'd wish she never closed her eyes to remember. She would lose her baby tomorrow. Kayla pressed her eyes shut to avoid the tears from falling.Walking into the kitchen, she stopped in the doorway, watching Anthony imbibe a bottle of chilled lemonade. He smiled at her as soon he took notice of her presence, then he was approaching. Now a hairbreadth apart from her, his hands abruptly went down and grabbed her thighs as he lifted her and wrapped her legs around him, taking her to the counter. She took the chance and snaked her hands around him as their mouths collided as they explored each other's mouth.Many were the people who knew about her
“Tavia! Anyah!” Irene's scream stole Kayla's attention. “My girls.” Irene sprang up from the ground in panic, shivering and panting. “My babies.”They pushed and shoved their way through the stampede, and ran about with their eyes searching around for the kids as they screamed the names of the kids. Irene burst into tears when she called the babysitter's phone and couldn't reach her. She screamed her daughters’ names, wailing, running here and there, tugging at her hair. She was devastated, frustrated, afraid, and pained. Kayla was troubled, but never as Irene. All Kayla could do was look around for the kids.Gunshots erupted a few feet before them. The people running towards them were on the ground in the next seconds, their blood sputtering on Kayla and Irene's faces. Kayla and Irene came to a terrified halt the second the people dropped and a V Empire warrior came standing before them. The terror growing in Kayla began brimming over until she was stepping back. She stopped when the
Kayla sat up in the bed and drew herself backwards, leaning her back and head to the headboard. She exhaled, rubbing her forehead with her fingers. This headache again? It wasn't only the intense headache this time, she felt dizzy and unwell. Her eyes when she opened them felt sore and heavy like she dipped them into the water for too long. She rubbed her eyes gently.She combed her eyes through the room. The last thing she remembered was being at the mall with Anthony, contemplating whether to buy chocolates. How did she get to the bedroom? The sunlight permeating the windows and lighting the bedroom was a reminder that it was a new day. Her hand went to her stomach as she rubbed it. Pangs of emotions whelmed her, bringing tears to her eyes. She closed her eyes, trying to hold the tears back. Today, her baby would leave her.The door opened. Anthony stepped in with a tray containing her breakfast, a cup of tea, and painkillers. Seeing she was awake, he smiled. Last night was messy fo
Seriously, what was wrong with his mate? Even the beast was getting upset with her as of late. Seven days had passed since the day she returned from Nora's place, and since then, she'd been a different person. It troubled, saddened, and annoyed him, but he buried his feelings in the depth of his control and pretended he didn't take notice of her changes. If it pleased her, eased the pangs in her heart, or would help her get over her pain when he died, then he'd leave her be. But he wasn't sure how long he could hold out and tolerate the changes.These days he barely saw her, or even spoke to her, and it hurt his heart so much. Every day, she left home as early as five o'clock in the morning and returned home at ten or even at midnight. Even when he saw her, they acted like strangers because she denied him attention. He'd asked Srymium to stalk her, and Srymium said she went to work and sometimes hung out with friends and family. That was for all Srymium said, but it wasn't enough to l
Anthony parked in the hospital lot. Taking his blazer from the car coat rack, he shut the car door and donned the blazer over the white turtleneck sweater he wore before he walked into the hospital. He was at Asrijet conference when Spencer gave him an urgent call, requesting he drove down to the office quickly. Seven days had passed without seeing Kayla, and it had been like hell. He lived with the suffering, as the break was a source of her happiness. He had to endure the loneliness, even if it was his week of death. Anthony had no idea why Spencer requested he came that urgently, but he hoped Kayla was alright. He was heading to Spencer's office when a chubby, dark-skinned female nurse he knew came approaching with a smile slapped on her face. She was one of Spencer's hard-working nurses that worked both in NHO and the main hospital. “Dr. Spencer asked me to scoop you to NHO conference room. Man, a lot is going on down there as always.”“Is this about Kayla?” Anthony's fear led hi
It all started with Anthony showing symptoms of a life-threatening illness that brought turmoil to Kayla's world, to knowing he was truly sick and on the verge of death, and to finding a cure for his illness. And today, she was following the stretcher moving him into the OR to cure him. There was gladness in her heart, but it felt like glimmers that often came and went away as her heart struggled between fear and hope. Her hand fisted tightly with his. She wished to stay by his side throughout the operation.“You’ll be fine, okay?” Anthony nodded weakly. Medications and sedatives were spreading through him. “I love you.” She leaned down and planted a kiss on his lips.Anthony was emboldened by the kiss from his mate. He was grateful and glad he could see her and get a kiss from her. Because this might be their last kiss.Kayla followed the nurses and stretcher until they got into the OR entrance, and the door got shut after they rode him in. Tears slipped down her face as she stood st
