They both fell on the floor as her lips hung open.Seeing the state he was in, her eyes watered as she realized he took the bullet for her. The hall was thrown into chaos as the reporters were beginning to scurry out for their dear lives while some were still filming and recording the events."someone call an ambulance now!!!!"she screamed at the top of her lungs as she sobbed, holding Maynard close to her.Sage rushed to Olivia who was already crying so hard.. He stopped on his track when he sighted a man through the window. the man was coming down from the roof of a building opposite to the press conference hall in a hurry. He immediately alerted the security guards and they chased the assassin.The ambulance arrived.

CHAPTER 99 :- More complicated situation.Sage drove straight to the hospital, he jumped out of his car and entered the hospital. He was too busy getting the assassin and finding out who the killer is that he completely forgot Olivia would be alone.She must be really devastated right now.His eyes searched before they finally landed on a woman whose head was lowered and her knees curled up."Olivia?" He called out and she lifts her head up to look at him. Walking towards her in long strides he found her face coated in dry tears and her eyes red from crying so long.Without saying a word, he pulled her into a comforting hug and she burst into tears once again."it could have been me Sage, it could have been me lying on that bed in a the brink of death but he took the bullet for me " Olivia said sobbing silently."it's okay. shhhh shhhh. everything is going to be fine I promise, just calm down. am sure Maynard will be fine..."As soon as he said that, the door to the ICU opened and the
CHAPTER 100 :- He is comatoseOlivia snapped her eyes open but quickly shut them back as strong Ray's of light flashed through them.She slowly opens her eyes when she heard footsteps approaching."How are you feeling?" Sage asked, grabbing a seat beside her and holding her hands."Maynard... I have to go to him! Gosh, how long have I been asleep? Maynard needs me" Rather than replying to Sage's question, her thoughts were clouded around Maynard as she have to get up."Please lye down Olivia, you must still be so weak. The doctor said you collapsed due to shock and also being stressed out""please, tell me how Maynard is? He was in a really bad condition a while back. Please let me go to him.. he needs me, I have to be there for him, I have to know what's going on" She began to sob." I donated my blood to him, so now he's in a stable condition"Olivia stopped sobbing and looked at Sage.. "You what?""Found out my blood is compatible with that of Maynard and I just couldn't sit back
It was nine 'o' clock in the morning. Harper walked into the hospital and headed to the receptionist."Am looking for Mr Maynard Sanchez". He stood aside patiently until the receptionist was done."Mr Maynard Sanchez is indeed in this. hospital but he is currently not in the position to receive visitors. It's an order from the police". The receptionist said with a polite smile on a lips.Harper was downcast, He sighed and nodded, then turned to leave. He was almost at the exit door when... "Mr Harper??" Harper turned and saw Olivia and Sage approaching him."Olivia!! Sage!!! I've been been trying to reach you both for a long time"" We lost our cellphones due to the commotion at the hall" Sage explained and Mr Harper nodded in understanding."About that... How's Maynard doing?" He inquired."Fine but slipped into coma. His condition isn't critical anymore"Mr Harper sighed in relief.." That's good to hear. Although, I can't help but blame myself.. if only I didn't pressure you into
"Vernes!!! you really have the guts to show your face here in the hospital. What the hell are you planning this time? to strangle Maynard or to poison him while he is unconscious??". Olivia asked angrily.Vernes let out a slow deranged laughter that lasted for about a minute before stopping suddenly and staring at Olivia pointedly. Her eyes revealing a murderous intent."Why would I try to kill the man that I love? Would that not be the mist stupid thing to do? if there is anyone that deserves to die, it's you Olivia!! Just like how I'd tried to kill you but you escaped death because he took the damn bullets for you". She said fiercely pouncing on Olivia with teeth and claws.Olivia surprised by her sudden action was slow to react and unfortunately received a scratch on her face. Refusing to back down from the fight, Olivia held unto vernes' hair pulling at it and vernes let out a low hiss in pain but managing to deliver a kick to Olivia's stomach.Olivia fell on the floor in pain a
The blade of the dagger caught light as it shinned dangerously with a cold glint. Olivia closed her eyes on reflex waiting for the pain but felt nothing instead vernes psychotic laughter reverberated through out the room.She opened her eyes slowly and met her cold eyes."Who knew the beloved actress of the people was so scared of death?" Vernes asked with a smile that was not really a smile. It was more like a creepy stare.Olivia didn't answer but her heart pounded furiously in her chest. She was indeed scared of death!"You said I would not be able to hurt a fly but you're wrong, I could simply just slit your throat open with this dagger.." She placed the dagger very close the Olivia's neck. Any slight movement and she'd be gone."Don't worry my dear Olivia. I don't want to kill you yet that will be too easy. I want you to pass through the same pain you've made Maynard has been in before I finally end you".Olivia finally found the courage to speak fueled by vernes insensibility."
The other detectives pulled Safe away but he tried to wiggle off their grip. He was so annoyed right now that their playing ignorant while the life of his friend is on danger without no lead."Please relax Mr Cavaltore and let's follow the right process. You might already identify the person as Vernes but we need to gather enough evidence to backup your claim. Falsely accusing someone without a valid evidence can be against the law" The detective explained.Sage brushed his fingers through his hair, thinking of what to do next.. Vernes have to be caught for all this troubles to be over. There's Maynard, lying in coma for days now and Olivia just got kidnapped, and there's no trace about her yet."What happens next detective?" He asked calmly this time around." We need to look for the nurse whose uniform was used by Vernes as you claimed. She'd be the only one to testify that it was indeed Vernes"" Then why haven't we found her? ""The men are still searching the hospital for her.
Sage stepped out of the ward and heaved a sigh of relief. He almost got chocked up with Maynard's questions and if he had not come up with that lie, who knows what would have been happening right now.Suddenly, a detective walked up to him.. "We found the Nurse who's uniform was used by Vernes as you claimed"" What? Were?" " In the ladies Bathroom. She was knocked out sedated as well"" Then what are we waiting for? Let's go, once she testifies that it was indeed Vernes, then it's enough evidence right?"The detective nodded and He Sage immediately rushed over to the ward were the supposed nurse was receiving treatment.Thankfully, she was awake and both the detective and Sage began to ask her questions which of course she was able to give the right answer.She explained she had wanted to use the restroom when she was suddenly attacked and knocked out, that was the last thing she could recall. The detective asked that she give the description of the lady while sage pulled out his ph
