Within seconds, different thoughts dropped on Arianna's heart. She remembered what the man had said …the rich brat is going to be assassinated…Was Jace the rich brat that was in danger? The two men, aiming their guns at him were going to shoot him and kill him. She was perplexed, she should look away and let him get killed, it would end her misery and pay off for the torture he made her go through. She almost died because of the emotional trauma he put her through. If he dies, it means karma has caught up with him. And it would be a compensation to her. But then, he is Eli's father. He is the man who made her a mother. How can she let him die if she could save him? Will she be able to forgive herself if Jace Hudson got killed before her eyes? How can she silence her conscience when she sees her son grow up without his father. She won't be able to forgive herself if Jace Hudson gets shot. At that moment, Arianna made a decision and ran towards Jace, he saw her
The news of the attack was being transmitted on social media. The CCTV footage of the whole scenario was being played. Everyone saw how Arianna shoved Jace aside and got shot instead. Fear gripped Chase and immediately called his brother. He was on call. But as soon as Jace was through, he called Chase back. "Chase, it's Arianna. She got shot. I'm afraid, I don't want anything bad to happen to her. I will never forgive myself if anything happens to Arianna because of me. She's being taken to the hospital. I am heading towards the hospital now. Please meet me there. I would have been dead, Chase. But Arianna saved my life and risked her own life instead…" Jace was shivering. When he hung up, he removed his blood drained suit leaving only the shirt on. Jace's shirt was drenched in sweat. Despite the chilling air in the car, Jace's temple was covered with beads of sweat. Richard called Genesis and she answered "How's Arianna now, I hope she's still breathing?" Gene
They all exchanged glances and Jace stood up from where he was seated and walked closer to Richard, "what do you mean Richard?" Rather than answer Jace Hudson, Richard's bottled temper flared up and he hit Jace badly in his belly. The latter staggered backwards and Richard hit him badly again on his face. Chase got furious and stood up, hitting Richard back in his belly, it was his turn to stagger backwards. Richard spat out blood and Jace's lips were bleeding as he also spat out blood. Genesis quickly came to the middle and held Richard. He was the one who started the fight and she needs to hold him first. But what surprised her was that Jace didn't fight back. Perhaps Richard would have kept dishing his blows if Chase hadn't stood up in his brother's defence. The two men glared at each other, both spitting out blood. "Bastard, you are the reason why Arianna is in there. We can't say for sure if she would make it or not. And you dare to show your inhumane face
Everyone stood up quickly and drew closer to Richard. His eyes went red. Genesis' tears were already running down her cheeks. "No, doctor, she can't die. Use the chest compressor, resuscitate her, do anything you can. In fact I'm stepping in" Richard pleaded. He placed his hands down and glanced at the theatre. "What happened? Is Arianna fine?" Jace demanded. Genesis pulled Richard by his upper arm and was sobbing profusely "Richard save Arianna's life" she sobbed. Richard held Genesis and kissed her temple. "Arianna is.." he choked. He couldn't bring himself to complete it. "Don't you dare say that last word, Richard" Genesis implored. Richard dragged her to Chase and said "Take care of my girl" and dashed into the theatre. He was not dressed for theatre work but got in and wore the Available one at the entrance and got in. He took the chest compressor from the head surgeon. At this time, he had stilled his heart. He wasn't looking at her from the persp
"Let's keep a proper relationship with each other, if not for anyone's sake, for Arianna's sake please" Chase declared, his gaze fixed on Richard. He was obviously referring to him. "I don't keep relationships with toxic people. Everyone get the hell out, I want my patient to rest" Richard insisted. "I don't want you to be Arianna's doctor anymore. You get out and I will have another doctor take over from you" Jace replied, his gaze becoming cold as he stares at Richard. "I dare you, Jace Hudson and I will get Arianna out of this hospital and you won't get access to her anymore" Richard retorted. "It's enough please, everyone. Why are you both quarrelling about it? Is it because of Arianna or there's another underlying reason you are not telling us? Arianna is special to everyone in our different ways. She's my bestie and childhood friend. She's your friend for a few years Richard and you are the one who stood by her when Eli was born. But she's Jace's woman
Eduardo just stood transfixed. She's the mother of the young master? She's probably the woman the boss was searching for in Z-City for a few years. This news came to him like a shock. But then,a faint smile appeared on his lips. He hoped a chemistry would grow between them when all of these are over. Emily Jason placed the remote down and hissed between gritted teeth. She is not interested in the news anymore. Why wouldn't the various channels find proper news for them rather than feeding them with such news? "Arianna is too forward. I know she did it deliberately to find a convenient excuse to avoid her engagement to the Keyamo family eldest master" Emily stuttered. What a smart woman. But no matter how much she pretends to escape her marriage to the rascal, she will eventually get married to him, except she dies. "What gave her the nerves to try protecting Jace Hudson? Is she stronger than him or does she have the power and influence he has?" Elisa bellowed.
Adrian Delmark is a two time senator of Z-City. He is an honest and sincere man but highly Private. After his second tenure elapsed as a senator, he left Z-City and went for holiday for three years in Spain. His only son was then rounding up his medical school and went to work as a housemaster in X-City. He was through with his program and immediately got hired by the hospital. It was only when Adrian and his wife Jane decided to return to Z-City did Richard resign and came to join them working as a consultant in general medicine at the Hudson's hospital. "My son," Adrian called, standing at the penultimate stair and beaming with a megawatt smile. His hands in his pants pocket and he glared at his beautiful wife and son. Adrian Delmark is a 52 years old man with a huge physique. He had a mix of gray and black hair on his head but looked strong and fitted like a man who had at a time been a great sportsman. He has twinkling eyes and faint dimples when he smiles. H
Richard nodded and sat properly. He glared at his parents. They are a family of three but the love that bound them together is stronger than the strongest cord ever. Nothing is going to take place without their collective decision. His parents are definitely going to take a decision or embark on a mission and need to get his consent and opinion. "I have discussed with your mom already and she already supported my idea. I need your consent as well. You are my first family and the most important people in my life" Adrian regarded. "You still haven't told me anything yet. What do you need my opinion on?" Richard asked, already yawning and feeling exhausted from the day's experience and work. "I know Richard. I am intending to run for the office of the prime minister" Adrian broke the news to his son. He glared at Richard, waiting for what his reactions would be. Richard's lips parted and he couldn't help but smiled broadly. He didn't say anything but was happy. H
