"Mom!" Reign exclaimed when he saw that his mom had fainted. His father, Zach, bent over her and checked her pulse. He turned to stare at Reign and said, "Take your mother to the hospital, along with Jake."Reign turned and stared at Dass, who had given up trying to pick up his gun and was still bleeding on the ground, with his mom, who kept crying, "Dass! My Dass! No! Please don't die!"He turned his face away, carried his mother in his arms, and walked out of the room.Jake had just put Tiffany in the back of his car and was about to go to the front when he saw Reign coming out with an unconscious Paige.He quickly opened the front door and allowed Reign to put his mother in the passenger seat.After Reign fixed up her seatbelt, Jake threw the car keys at him and said, "Please drive, I'll stay with Tiffany at the back."He went to the back and held Tiffany in his arms.The car started and Reign drove away from there. Tiffany had lost a lot of blood and didn't think she was going
Zach looked at the men and said, "Even if it takes one week, keep them both here until he is dead. Once Dass is no longer breathing, throw his dead body in the river." "Please, please," Candy cried and tried to crawl towards Zach, but he turned and began walking to the door. As he got closer to the door, he turned again, stared at her, and said to the men who were standing around her."Once you have thrown his body in the river, I will tell you what to do to her.""Rest assured, Candy, you will not be dying any time soon. I will make sure you spend the rest of your life, painfully reflecting on all the actions you have taken in this life. I will make you regret ever touching my daughter."As he heard Zach's words, Dass who was slowly losing his life began to cough out blood from his mouth."Help me, Mom," he cried. "Please help me, I don't want to die, l... I don't want to die.""Please let me take him to the hospital," she cried. "He can still be saved. Please, he's losing so much b
Tiffany saw Jake standing at the edge of a cliff. Dass was standing in the opposite direction, pointing a gun at him.He grinned, "Goodbye, Jake," and fired his gun at Jake whose loud scream pierced Tiffany's ears as she helplessly watched him fall off the cliff.She opened her eyes and gasped for air while the doctor who was observing her did his best to stabilize her."Am I dead?" Tiffany blinked and asked the doctor when she had been stabilized."No, you're still alive," the doctor who was still standing beside her replied. She began to recall everything that happened and asked, "Where is Jake? Is he okay?""Who is Jake?" The doctor asked. "He is my husband," she replied."Okay, then I'll let him know you're awake."The doctor was about to walk out when she added, "My mom too, how is she?""Your mom? You want to see her?" She nodded, "Yes, I'd like to see my mom too.""Okay, I'll get them for you."Outside, Jake continued to pace up and down as he waited for news from the doctor
Lisa's eyes widened in shock as she exclaimed, "Tiffany? Do you mean, Reign's sister? What happened to her?"Jake nodded, "Yes she was shot and she's in the hospital. I held her in my arms while she was bleeding and that's why I look this way. I'll just quickly change up and go back."Lisa, his younger sister, together with his parents all stared at him in surprise as he walked away and dashed into his room which he had not used in a long time.Meanwhile, Paige sat in front of Tiffany who was lying on her back and staring at her."My baby, how are you?" Paige asked holding Tiffany's hands, tears still falling from her eyes.Tiffany smiled, "Come on, Mom. You've always been a crybaby and even now you don't want to change."Paige wiped her eyes, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry dear but when I saw you bleeding with that gunshot wound, I was in shock. I never thought such a thing could ever happen to you.""Well, I'm here, mom. I came back because I knew I still had to see you." Tiffany told her
After Zach and Paige left, Reign and Cora went into the intensive unit to see Tiffany."If it isn't my hero and his adorable wife." Tiffany praised, the moment she saw them."How are you doing, kiddo?" Reign asked. She smiled, "I've been better, but I'm grateful to be alive. What about my other hero?""I actually forced him to go home and shower because he was covered in blood. He should be back anytime soon," Reign explained. "Don't worry, once he arrives, we will leave, so you two can spend time together."She nodded while he asked said, "You love him, right?"Tiffany smiled but did not reply."Come on, say it already," Cora chipped in. "I'm itching for the good news. I'm really moved by your sacrifice, Tiff. You are very brave and even if you don't admit it, it's obvious to everyone that you are in love with Jake.""Am I that obvious?" Tiffany asked. Cora chuckled, "You lover girl..what a silly question.""Don't tease a sick woman," Tiffany pouted and they both laughed.Reign str
Tiffany recalled how Jake had confessed in the car about his love for her right before she passed out and said, "Well, as for my feelings for him, I found a way to convey them.For him; he did say he loved me while I was dying, but, I don't know, maybe I didn't really hear it. Perhaps my brain is just telling me what I wanted to hear or what I thought I had heard, but I remember him holding me in his arms and telling me about his love for me..."At this moment Jake arrived outside with hismom, dad, and younger sister. When he saw that Zach and Paige were no longer around, he askedReign, "What happened? What about Tiffany? Is she okay?""She has opened her eyes, Jake," Reign told him. "And she is dying to see you. You're looking good, that's nice. Now that you're here Cora and I will go back home so we can freshen up. We'll be back tomorrow morning.""Thank you for everything, Reign." Jake hugged him. "You saved my life and Tiffany's and I'm sorry I yelled at you earlier. I was not in
Jake stared at Tiffany in surprise."Why are you shocked? Don't you want to marry me?" Tiffany asked him.He smiled, "Your question is strange. How can I not want to marry you?"She pouted, "Well, you prepared divorce papers and even signed them. How would I know if you consider me good enough to be your wife?""I have not processed the documents, Tiff. They are still with you and I'm guessing you didn't sign them." He told her. "Everyone still sees us as husband and wife because I didn't say a word about it. Moreover, it hasn't been up to six months since we got married. Even if you signed the papers, processing them now would not be possible."Her eyes dimmed, "You knew all this and yet you still signed those divorce papers. You could have at least discussed it with me but you didn't.Why didn't you ask me even once or stop to think about how your actions would affect me? I was very upset but I still traveled to your office to tell you about my feelings, yet you sent me away. You wer
Tiffany laughed, "How is that possible when you are just slightly older than me?"Jake smiled, "What I'm trying to say is that, right from when we were kids, I dreamt of spending the rest of my life with you. I would secretly watch you and marvel at how beautiful you looked.When we grew older and became teenagers, I realized that what I felt for you was love. I've never stopped loving you since then. Trust me, I tried to stop but my love for you only got stronger."Tiffany squeezed his hand which was intertwined with hers, "We lost so much time, thanks to my stupidity.""We will make up for it, I promise," Jake replied. "And as for getting married again, let's talk about it the day you get discharged from the hospital.""Hope I'm not interrupting?" A familiar voice suddenly asked.Both Jake and Tiffany had thought it was the doctor when the door was opened. They were both surprised to hear Lisa's voice, especially Tiffany."Jake got up and said to Tiffany, "I'll be right back. Let me
