“Angel...” My voice stood in shock at her figure, coming without any papers to check. As stunned as I was, she was unable to take a step towards me. Her consciousness stopped at the door.Her mouth carried something heavy that itched not to be buried alone. I opened my arms to embrace her. In my embrace, she searched for something that was lost. A sense of longing.“Miss.” She released my embrace while her tears were still flowing. “Does this mean you're still in contact with Master Mattheo? After what he did...”“Angel.” I smothered her sad voice with the soft touch of my fingers. “Don't think about me. The Mattheo thing, I'll decide after my battle with him is over. Why don't we have a drink first?”She continued to cry, I sat beside my bed. I prepared a warm drink for her, hoping that she could release her sadness. I didn't consider the background of how she got to this hospital, or where she got her information from.Probably from my mother. Thus, I had time to ask about Luke in o
“I-I'll do it!” After receiving a slap from me, she ran away like she had just seen a ghost. I'm glad she was able to accept my order so easily. Time wasn't wasted any more than this.'But, damn it. What did Veronica do that she didn't know Mattheo had arrived at this hospital? Imagine if Angel hadn't come and told her, Luke could have killed him!' I was so upset thinking about it. I immediately contacted the woman without a second thought.And as panicked as I was, my call was quickly picked up by her.“Where are you now?” I snapped impatiently. “Forget about Mattheo, you'd better get back to the hospital now. He's here - oh my, Veronica. You really can't do your job properly. How could you let Mattheo get away unnoticed? Do you know the impact you just made?”“Forgive me, Madam. But from what I hear, Sir Mattheo is still in his office. And for that I am heading there,” she countered. Judging from the noise behind her, it was certain that the woman was driving fast.That kind of spee
“But I have no intention of having Mattheo die before my baby is born.”“You can't be so careless! If something happens to Mr. Sinclair, he can fight back! But if it's you, then you'll be in grave danger!” One of them still insisted on forbidding me to leave.Both of my hands started to become the center of attention. Not only were they pulling my body forcefully, but in front of all the patients who were passing by, I could see them taking out a handkerchief from their pants pocket.'Oh, so now you want to drag a pregnant woman, huh? So Mattheo hired another dirty human to harm me this time.' I laughed ironically. Certainly, if I resisted, then the anesthetic would be the one to put me to sleep now.What a dirty way for a woman who only wanted to save someone's life.“You underestimate Luke Davis!” I snapped. I struggled as much as I could to release my hands that were locked by them. And avoided my face from the direction of the force, because I didn't want the handkerchief to touch
“What!? You're crazy!” I snapped in disgust. His life was almost taken by the God of death, and he still had time to worry about me!?“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and call a doctor! Anyone! Unless you want to see your Boss die here!” I snapped at the detectives who could only keep their damn asses quiet.Their duty to protect me was crossed by the fact that the man they thought was so powerful was lying weak in a sea of blood.Mattheo, my arm supported his head which was lying limply with its eyes open. I repeatedly checked his breathing to make sure he was still alive. I had no experience in rescuing dying people, so what should I do?“God, what can I do? What should I do? Oh my god...” panic began to consume me. At the same time, my stomach acid rose. My stomach was suddenly attacked by excruciating pain, an effect of how frustrated I was right now.“Move! The emergency stretcher is here! Please make way!” The emergency medical team finally arrived in a very short time. Matth
No, they were wrong. My pregnancy was still far from the due date. What were they saying that four doctors were running like mad towards me.'It’s warm.' I realized one thing, since earlier there had indeed been a warm sensation running through my lower body, accompanying the insolent pain that was like being slashed by thousands of razor blades. But this wasn't the first time I felt this way.How abnormal my living environment had been over the past five months, warranted something strange to happen to my pregnancy. Prolonged stress, malnutrition, unhealthy sleep cycles, what else? I'm still lucky I didn't die young.“Doctor, over here!” The blonde detective waved his hand at a group of doctors who were having trouble finding us amidst the chaos. Once they found the spot, the detective lifted my body with both hands. Followed by the other detectives, who split the task of helping the doctors to prepare the emergency stretcher.“What are you guys doing? You don't need to take me anywh
Their job was to help me stay sane. As it turns out, I need them. A tight grip on the hand, a stroke on the head, and various positive affirmation sentences full of affection, that's what I need now.The position that should have been filled by a husband was replaced by four doctors who kept encouraging me.“Mock induction is the most painful, but after that, you'll be fine,” said Dr. Feby, whose hands clasped mine relentlessly. “When you feel that wave, all you need to do is push. That's right, push with all your might.”“But when the waves of pain disappear, you need to rest. Otherwise, your strength will run out before your baby is born.”That's what they say. Blame it on the numbing pain in my waist and hips, so I couldn't really understand what they meant. Other than straining, breathing, screaming in pain, that was all I could do. Without the help and direction of the various doctors who accompanied me, I wouldn't have been able to survive.“Do it one more time, Mom! You can do i
Luke Davis POV“Go hide yourself, you fool!”There was a set of fingers that became an anchor to pull my ship, my body, which was anchored in a smell full of human blood. The hand should have been pulling me like she had sinned. Or was it because she was afraid of our hellish plan being known to all humans here?“Really. What should I do with a man like you?” The figure that had helped filter my consciousness back from the aquarium of amazement returned to her original figure. Natalia. Her clothes were in tatters, creating an image of how she managed to get to this hospital on time, looking like that.“Insolent bastard. The slightest carelessness, you would have killed my future husband, you rancid bastard,” said that woman, still not finished with her short breath. “Where is our agreement? Where is Luke Davis who I can trust? Just looking at your face right now I feel like I'm dealing with the devil.”I thought it was fear that was getting in the way. There was indeed a hand stalking
“Wait, what did you say?” I snapped. There was something strange about what he said. Or did I just hear it wrong because I wasn't focused? “Spill it again. What do you mean by broken?”Natalia, with her beautiful, foolish face, looked back at me with such astonishment that it made me cringe. “Huh? Don't you know? When you stabbed Mattheo earlier, there were a bunch of obstetricians who came with emergency equipment. Who else would it be but my sister?”“What?” How stupid of me. Such a big thing that I didn't realize? Did my body have a sudden seizure that I didn't realize something big was happening around me?“And if I'm not mistaken too,, Ah, I don't know. What's clear is that there are a lot of doctors there. Don't forget that's also why I was able to pull you out here, you idiot. Do you think it's easy to steal a chance from Mattheo's guards? Without that incident, there's no way you could have escaped safely,” she explained at angry length.“Damn it!” I growled. There was no reas
Belle's POV“Nggg~” Raven whined in tears when I separated him from his soft pillow. Not much different from her brother, Christ, who had already cried when his deep sleep was awakened. I really couldn't bear to wake them up in their unhealthy state.'However, Mattheo is already in Japan. It's only a matter of time until he finds the location of this hospital and my nightmare will come true.' I reminded myself not to let my guard down for a second in this critical situation.“Forgive your mother, my dear. I'm sorry.” I repeatedly apologized to my two babies who had to become victims of their parents' problems. I had to do this now or never.While Robert was still talking to someone on his phone, while the hospital was still too quiet for the guards to find me. Once again, I had to leave everything behind for my two babies. I'm not sure I would have survived if I hadn't hurried now.As soon as I found out Mattheo had reached Japan, the stitches in my stomach were excruciating. My stoma
Natalia’s POVI never expected to get a surprise like this, Mattheo's coming to the hospital and seeing me alone had managed to make my heart beat.I never imagined that Mattheo would even give me another surprise that was even more shocking than the previous one, not only did it make me do heart exercises, but it almost made my heart fall out of place because I was so surprised to see Mattheo in front of my eyes when I was just a few steps away from getting into the car.It was even more shocking that he was waiting for me there, like he already knew what I was going to do after this. Mattheo, he couldn't possibly know that I was going to leave and escape through the back door of the hospital and he couldn't possibly know that I kept a car in the backyard of this hospital either, right?''So, what are you going to say again this time? What are you going to explain about everything that has happened this time, where are you going and what made you decide to escape from this hospital?'
Natalia’s POVWho would have thought, a few moments after the phone call with Ragen had been disconnected, the doctor came back into the hospital room and he again checked my condition, which was still lying weakly on the hospital bed even though it had been assisted by drugs and also an IV tube that was still attached to my wrist.I will not waste this good opportunity. I will ask the doctor if I can get out of the hospital right now, so that I can meet Mommy Ragen without getting suspicion from anyone, including Mattheo if he finds me out there again.Unfortunately what I hoped for didn't really come true, the doctor stuck to his decision of not allowing me to be discharged from the hospital. My body that was still weak and not fully healthy was used as an excuse to keep me here.But I also can't stay here like this, I have to go and see Ragen before she does something much worse, she could tell Mattheo and twist the facts so that Mattheo only hates me.No, I can't let that happen!
Natalia’s POV''Mattheo, can I talk to you outside? There's something I want to talk to you about,'' Robert said which made me turn my head, wondering to myself what Robert was going to talk to Mattheo about?Was he going to say something very important that I shouldn't know so Robert asked Mattheo to leave?Shit, why can't my brain think properly? Even if Robert asked Mattheo to talk outside together, I was sure that Robert wouldn't tell the truth. Yes, he is also the one who has always helped me, if what I hid from Mattheo was revealed, it would also drag his name and Robert would not do that, I'm sure.Never mind, I should just trust him for now. Trying to convince myself that Robert will definitely not do anything wrong, he must have thought about it and considered it carefully before doing something.''Talking together? What do you want to tell me, is there something important?''Robert without hesitation immediately nodded to confirm what Mattheo had questioned, confirming that
Natalia’s POV''Why does your face look so pale after seeing me? Your reaction is so exaggerated, it's like you're seeing a ghost.'' Mattheo mocking me again while I was still trying to convince myself that what I was seeing was real, that Mattheo's presence in front of my eyes was not a hallucination due to the effects of the medicine I had taken.But his coming to the hospital and visiting me was real.He was really in front of me and was even looking at me intently, my palms were getting wet when I saw the way Mattheo was looking at me. With my nerves getting the better of me, I tried to act casual despite the fact that my heart was almost out of place.I'm afraid that Mattheo knows the truth about me, I'm afraid that he knows what I'm hiding from him, and I'm also afraid that Mattheo knows what makes me here now.This stress that I'm feeling, I'm sure it has something to do with Mommy Ragen's request that told and forced me to follow her will, assist her to seize custody of both M
Natalia’s POVI never thought that things would never go as smoothly as Mommy Ragen wanted, the process of taking custody of the child that she wanted was not as easy as imagined.'There was too much drama to be done, too many lies that needed to be prepared in order to get everything that Mommy Ragen wanted.'However, the fire of desire that has been burning so big inside her makes she completely unadvised in any way, she still imposes her will and insists on doing everything possible so that her goal can be achieved immediately.Even I could only stay silent and pensive staring in disbelief at her in front of there who was still talking to the Lawyer to discuss what they would do next so that the custody of Belle's two children could fall into the hands of her grandmother who was none other than Ragen.I did not expect that her ambition to control all the assets inherited to the two babies would make her desperate to do anything, even to the point of trying to seize the custody of B
Ragen’s POV''Robert, no matter what happens. I hope you will keep your mouth shut from everyone, I don't want all this to leak out to others and put me in danger. Mommy would immediately suspect me if what she is planning to do is leaked to others, you want to help me right?''Robert immediately nodded his head, agreeing to what Natalia said to hide everything he knew. To keep everyone's mouth shut so that what was happening here wouldn't leak out.''Of course, you don't have to worry about me leaking it. I will definitely keep my mouth shut with everything that has happened, just relax.'' he reassured Natalia and managed to make her smile with relief, at least Robert could be trusted for now.''That's good, for the time being, we should hide everything that happened from everyone, especially Mattheo, he shouldn't know what his mother is planning. I myself am also reluctant to get involved with that oldman madness, I don't know what the end will be, but I can guess that things will d
Ragen’s POVFrom where I was sitting, I could see Natalia shaking her head, looking very distrustful of me who dared to go against the law to get what I wanted.Of course I dare because it's not the law that I will fight against that I have in mind, but the property that will belong to Belle's two children that will also belong to me if I manage to get custody of the two children.Whatever she thinks, I don't care what she thinks here either, I'm not asking for her opinion. But I'm just forcing her and the lawyer in front of me right now to do what I want.Yes, not just the lawyer. But Natalia must also comply with what I want, whatever I tell her, she must obey!''Why are you shaking your head like that, Natalia? What are you thinking?'' I asked her, furious too because more and more Natalia seemed very out of line with my mindset.''Nothing, Mom. Just.. I think I need to go to the restroom first, You just continue the conversation with Mr. lawyer.''Natalia immediately rose to her f
Ragen’s POV''Natalia, I only asked you to accompany me to the legal counsel. Why are you so scared of being found out by Mattheo? After all as long as we keep quiet and don't tell anyone then it will all be safe right, or do you really want me to do something to you first so that you will listen to what I say and make you want to obey my orders?''I stared at Natalia's two eyeballs so intently, giving off an intimidating aura that was so strong as to pressure Natalia and make her give up on her initial decision to refuse my orders.“Please, I can’t do this,” She’s still rejecting me.“You certainly know what I mean, Natalia. It's not a difficult thing to influence Mattheo to hate you by bringing up his children's names, I can do that if you continue to refuse me. Ah, how about I tell Mattheo that you secretly want to harm his children?''Natalia looked surprised when I suddenly turned my head to look at her, I also saw her body jumped up when I suddenly turned my head and looked at h
