Masuk“Ethan,” I choked out.My hands moved from my sides, to his shoulders.My fingers dug into his flesh, as I stammered.“Sh…she’s dead.Everything I worked for.Everything I sacrificed for, it’s all gone,” I whispered.My grip around his shoulders grew deeper, and I could feel my sharp nails digging into his skin yet he said nothing.Not even a flinch.His fingers ghosted over my cheeks as he breathed.“It’s okay, baby girl.Let it all go.I’m here to hold you.”The moment those words left his lips, I felt like a dam had been let loose.Tears slipped from my eyes, as a small sob left my lips.His forehead moved away from mine, and this time— he held my entire body, joining it to his, as he hugged me tightly.My face against his chest.I could not tell when or how my sobs increased, but they did.Tears poured out uncontrollably this time staining his white shirt, but he didn’t seem to care because he held me tighter.My sobs turned louder, drowned by my lips pressed against his chest.I
Her face was ashen white like the color of snow as she stared at me.Her lips parted, and a small sound slipped out of them.“How did you?Ho…how did you know?” She stammered, almost falling to the floor luckily she was held in a bruising grip by the cops. My lips curled into a wide smug smirk as I watched her.Satisfaction filled my veins as I watched her face twist in terror.“It was not hard to guess.You both bear an uncanny resemblance.Although it’s not noticeable at the beginning.But I can see those venomous and vengeful eyes anywhere,” I hissed, my voice dark and hard while I stared at the face of my mother’s killer.I turned to face the cops, knowing I had more things to do.“I have concrete evidence of her involvements in my mother’s death,” I said.Raising my hands in the air, I pointed directly at her.“She’s an accomplice to the murder of my mother—Gina Harnes,” I roared.My gaze narrowed as I stared at her. “Take her away now.I’ll be coming to the station immediately
My stomach clenched watching them, as bile rose in my throat—one which I struggled to gulp down.My mother said nothing.Her lips pressed tight in a hard line as she watched Vivian with hard eyes.Her silence angered Vivian, making her face crease in anger and she landed another slap on my mother's face.I flinched from the sound of the slap.My chest burnt with pain, and I watched helplessly as my mother struggled to cover the pain she felt and appear strong before Vivian.Tears clouded my vision.My hands which held the phone twisted tight around the edge, and it took everything in me to remain calm.“You’ll hit me as much as you want Vivian.But, I swear to you—I’ll never talk.Never!” She screamed in Vivian’s face.Vivian’s eyes flared in rage on seeing my mother was serious.But then—her lips curled into an evil expression.“That’s good then.You’ll keep silent right?” Vivian asked with a scoff.My mum watched her, trying to keep on an emotionless expression, but I could clearly
I ended the call, the moment he uttered ‘okay.’I looked up to see the policemen from earlier standing by the side of that door.Ethan must have called them over there.Good! Now, the matron had nowhere to run to.My phone dinged—the notifications of videos clouding the front screen.Not hesitating, I moved through to them all, knowing exactly what I was looking for.My hands paused on a particular video.And I looked at the time written on it—nine forty five, which was a few minutes after I left the hospital.My mother lay on the bed still peacefully asleep.I stared at the screen, watching as the matron walked in her room.But the sight of who was beside her, made the air from my lungs disperse.It was—Vivian.Even through the phone, I could see the murderous expression on Vivian’s face as she watched my mother lay there peacefully.She then turned to the matron, her voice echoing through the loud speaker of my phone.“Wake her up.I want to see the pain in her eyes when I finally
“Please save my mother, Ethan.Please…please…save her,” I was hysterical.I watched as Ethan’s eyes flared when he watched the doctor who was currently quivering on his feet after he heard my words.Ethan moved towards the doctor—and within a fraction of a second—his hands wrapped around the doctor's throat and he lifted him off his feet.The screams of the nurses echoed in the air.The doctor's red face as he struggled to gasp for air filled my vision.“What did you plan on doing to her?” Ethan growled, pressing tighter.“Speak!” He hissed his voice hard, filled with dark promises.The doctor trembled in his hold, finally parting his lips as he choked out.“We were about to remove her organs.Her body had been donated to the teaching hospital to be used for medical experiments as we wished,” he muttered, gasping for air.My hands froze on my mother's still face as I looked at him.My lips parted from shock and fear.“Wh…what?How dare you!What gave you the right to use my mother as
Ethan’s voice echoed and the matron flinched.She clenched her fist tightly besides herself, her hateful gaze on me.“We still have some procedure to complete,We cannot just allow her to see the body,” She insisted.But, I could hear the hint of fear in her tone.Ethan, hands on my hips loosened slightly, and he turned to face the police officers.His sharp eyes on them.“I believe hiding patients' information from their family members is a crime,” Ethan declared, as he pointed directly at the police officers then the matron.“Take her.Make sure she rots in the cell, for thinking she could lay her hands on my woman,” he growled.The matron's eyes widened with shock and fear, when she saw the officers moving toward her.“What….y…you can’t do that.How dare you?I did nothing wrong.That woman there should be arrested!” she screamed.The officers barely listened to a word she said.“She assaulted me, I have proof of it,” she screamed pathetically, struggling against their hold.“You c
