Chapter forty one: His return

DREWS POV. “Dominique shes pregnant! And we had a deal!”“How could he do this?” i smashed the glass tumbler in my hand against the wall, holding my phone with my eyes wide,She was in between the boys, with their palms fastened around her arms in the video he sent.Was she hostage now?I poured another glass of whiskey into my mouth, Feeling the burn roll down my throat. Mrs Rebecca had sent me tens of thousands of messages and in deliberate act to move on from her i ignored them all, i thought what she needed was time and space.After-all she never answered the question at the last part of the message.Or hadn't she seen it.I washed down another shot of whiskey.None of that mattered anymore at the moment. Absolutely none! As i combed my hands into my hair, i blazed out and swung into the road.What if i was too late?

Chapter forty two : The operations room.

“Both the baby and the mother, are going to make it out alive.” I said, fixing my gloves. There were slight whispers amongst the nurses in the room, but now was not the time for small talks.“The bullet,” i squinted my eyes saying.“From the looks of it, the bullet pierced straight to the to the arm,, but where it gets messy is it collided past a vein leading to the brain.”It would require the highest level of the profession to skillfully reconstruct the vein, without affecting anymore nerves.I took in a deep breath. “Guys we need to pull out the baby, …..prematurely.”The only way to ensure they both survive. The doctors blinked in confusion as they turned their gaze to Dr Felix questioningly. I tightened the surgical mask around my nose and picked up the sterilized needles. “Well shall we?” I said, smacking my gloves. The operation began and as a team, we all worked together to ensure the best of the outcomes. But she had been given certain injections to put her out, while

Chapter forty three: Denial

REBECCAS POVHe blinked multiple number of times. To be certain i heard him correctly. “Wait…what?” His lips parted.He couldn't hide his surprise. “Mrs Rebecca,” he hesitated, saying.“Why would you say that?” His voice toned down to almost a whisper, I shook my head unbelievably. “Are you going to deny it?” I looked at him dead in the face. “Deny what?” He demanded. “Mrs Rebecca For goodness sakes, i don't even know what you are talking about..” he said in defense.“Are you seriously trying to play dumb with me Drew?…. I scoffed unbelievably. But his face remained poker. “Okay fine. “ I spat. “So you are going to deny That you were one of the doctors who attended to me , Drew don't stress me more than i already am.” I carefully sorted my words.“I think there must have been some form of mistake.” He averted his eyes saying. “Listen Drew, Ive spent these past days, weeks, months in ashes, walking on thorns,…”I then moved my which was completely bandaged in pain. My arm.

Chapter forty four: Bandaged

DREWS POV.“You know when you say it like that…it sounds like its not the same me,” i adjusted, moving closer to her. But her face had no emotions in them,it looked like all the patience she had in her was threading on only a thin space for explanation. “Rebecca, look at me…,”“Please” Then she reluctantly motioned her eyes to me.“Allow me open up to you when the time is right …”i beckoned.“Then i guess its the right time for you to leave.” She said with annoyance.“You don't get it,” i countered her immediately. “Its not about me, it has nothing to do about me.” “Then whom is it about?!” She raised her voice, if that counts.“Its about you….” She stared at me unbelievably. “I became your driver, because of you. …” my tone faltered. “Still doesn't make any sense.” She flicked her teeth saying. “Its the only way i could get closer to you, to protect you.”“Protect me from wha….”She cut in Impatiently.I stared into her eyes hesitantly, Rehearsing the words to say to her b

Chapter forty five :Awake

RYANS POV “Anna?” I said, rubbing off the sleep patches in my eyes. I rose up from the bed lazily, as the rays of lights fumbled with my sight. Where was she? “Anna….” I called. “Anna?” I lifted my voice as i walked down the stairs, feeling a slight breeze of panic rush through me. But still there was no sign of her anywhere. And as my eyes swept around the sitting room impatiently, They landed on my phone which was tossed at the corner of the couch. Slowly, the tension within me grew, for so many reasons but the most was that, I never keep my phone away from me. Why? Secrecy purposes. Could she have read or seen something that made her leave so early? Then i picked up the phone. My jaws dropped. My heartbeat moving in a rhythm that no words can form. “Fuckkkkk” i cursed out loud. “Ten minutes on the phone with Fiona,?????” What possible conversation were they having?? What could she have said to her? I slammed my hand against the table. My he

Chapter forty six: The mighty whiskey

RYANS POV. I stood stuck in the pool of blood, my legs too paralyzed to move an inch. But as distraught as i was, soon, something caught my eyes, One that glued my eyes and tied my tongue. On the spot, i went down in a squat and stroked my two fingers across the blood. Picking up the diamond ring i adorned specially for her on our first anniversary. “Anna…?” My voice cracked. But it had sounded like an apology, For being useless to my own self sleeping while she was sent on a mission meant for me. My fingers were shaking, My lips trembling, My heart pounding. Was she killed the moment she stepped foot in here? What have i done?” I whispered to myself, folding the piece of jewelry in my palms. “What have i done?!!!!!!” I roared this time around. Rage sinking through my every cell, i pulled the door open forcefully and galloped in. Not Fiona, not an army of the people who did this, not the entire world could contain the hell i was about to rain down. No
