The Miracle!

Natalia finally reached the restaurant gate. She handed some cash to the cab driver and sluggishly got out of the car. 

As usual, the restaurant was empty. Whenever he was around, the restaurant was tagged as 'Reserved' 

He doesn't want any customer, apart from him. He doesn't want to be photographed or seen by the public eye. He could go to some other wealthier restaurant but, he still chose this one. All because of Natalia. 

"There you are Natalia, he has been waiting for over an hour. He could have our head served for dessert if we keep him waiting..."

The manager and some other waiters rushed, wrapping an apron around her waist and handing her the menu, right from the gate. 

"I'm not fully dressed yet..."

"It doesn't matter. Just go!" Her manager spoke and pushed her. She almost fell, but she hid how weak she was. 

She swallowed more courage and strength and walked into the restaurant. She head towards his favourite seat, somewhere far from the window. It was quite dark, just as he likes it. 

Everyone knew how Bellamy A. Brooke is. He is feared but loved by others. He's super kind and offer help to everyone and also... He's stinking rich. 

But, he has his dark side. Let no one take his simplicity for stupidity or he'll have you killed in front of everyone and make everyone put the blame on your dead body for being careless. 

However, towards Natalia, he is like an angel sent from the sky. 

"Good afternoon, Mr Bellamy" she greeted. 

He silently dropped his magazine he was reading and picked up his phone and turned off the timer.

"One hour, seven minutes and thirty seven seconds..." He uttered. That was how long he waited for her. 

"Forgive me, sir. I know I'm late to..."

"That's how long you'll spend with me today" he swiftly chipped in, smiling. 

Natalia's eyes widened. She looked around to make sure no one was peeping. 

"Mr Bellamy, I can't spend time with you like before. You are now married and..."

"I know. I love my wife. She's beautiful and bla bla bla" he claimed. 

"I know that you do love her. If not, you'll not bring her here for a romantic dinner every last friday of the month" Natalia added. 

Bellamy let out a sigh and took Natalia's hand. Natalia tried to force herself out of his soft grip, still making sure no one was looking. He had no chance of letting go of her hand. 

"Bellamy..." She called his name and he suddenly froze. 

She thought she had done something wrong but instead he pulled her close to his body and drew his lips closer to her ear.

"You finally called my name" he said and she gasped. She didn't realise she said that. 

"You're so close" she whispered to him. She was finding it difficult to breathe already. Her dizziness was back. 

"Call my name once again and I'll let you go" he said but there was no response from her. 

"Natalia? Natty?" He grabbed her shoulder and pulled her back. He watched as her head fell back, with her eyes closed. 

"Natalia!" He yelled. 

The manager and the others rushed into the restaurant and saw Natalia on Bellamy's lap. Their eyes widened in shock. They were even surprised to see that he also knew her name. 

"Don't just stand there! Open the damn door! Immediately!" He ordered, carrying her on his arm. He rushed out. His men saw him outside. Without any question, they opened the door. His personal assistant entered the car and drove off. 

"Where, young master?"

"The nearest hospital!" He yelled.  

The manager and his crew watched how Bellamy left almost immediately without eating anything after wasting so much time. 

They turn to enter the restaurant when they caught someone unfamiliar. 

"Who are you?" 

"Ah, I was just hungry and hoping I could stop by" she replied. 

"Sure, we are open. Come in" they walked her in. 

As she followed behind, she paused and turn back to stare at the path Bellamy drove off with Natalia. 

A cunning smile appeared on her face.

"Natalia, you have dug your own grave to let Bellamy A. Brooke touch your filthy body" Emily spoke to herself and rushed into the restaurant and pretend to be a customer.

.

Bellamy drove Natalia to the same hospital she came from. He was about to step out of the car with Natalia in his hand, when Leon, his assistant stopped him.

"What are you doing? I need to get her inside!" He almost yelled at his assistant. 

"I'll take her inside, young master. There are people everywhere. What will happen when your reputation is ruined because of her"

He sighed and stared at Natalia's calm face. 

"Fine. You, take her. I'll visit her in the evening. I need to go home. Cora is also sick" he said. 

"Understood, young master" Leon carried Natalia into the hospital. Another of his guard drove him off to his manor. 

He arrived and his butler walked him to his wife's room. The family's doctor was there. He rushed to her and took her hand.

"Will my wife be okay?" He asked. 

"Mr Bellamy, I'm sure she'll be fine. I know how much you love your wife. I'll do everything to save her" the doctor replied and he faked a smile. He wasn't thinking about the woman in front of him. He was wondering if Natalia was okay. 

"I'll leave you two for now. I'll come back later to check on you, Madam Cora" 

"Thank you doctor" she whispered. 

They both watched as the doctor left. Immediately the door locked, he threw her hand away and Cora turned her face away from him. 

Bellamy picked his handkerchief and wiped his hand. He considers his wife disgusting, even Cora thinks so. 

"If you're sick, you should have gone to the hospital or something. Don't call the fucking doctor to my house" Bellamy frowned. 

"My father heard of my sickness and sent the doctor. Why do you blame me?" Cora yelled back. The room was silent. 

"I'm leaving. I hope you get better or better still, lost your life. I promise to give you a wealthy burial as your husband"

"Thank you my husband, for being so considerate" she spoke sarcastically. 

He threw the handkerchief on the floor and turned to leave the room. 

"Are you going to meet that waiter again?" She asked and he froze by the door. 

"Do you have a problem with it?"

"No, just make sure you two don't get caught. If I die, you'll be free and you'll marry her" she spoke. 

"Then, hurry up and die" he concluded and left the room. 

Cora laid back on the bed and started breathing slowly. She knew she was going to die soon but, she won't let him know about it. 

.

Emily arrived at the hospital and started looking for Natalia's room. She saw it was guarded by Bellamy's secretary and some other men. She frowned and tightened her fist. She was even given the VIP lounge. 

Some doctors stepped out of the room. 

"She'll be fine. She's just in a temporary coma"

"If she'll be fine, there's no problem with it then"

"I'll send a nurse to keep check on her"

The doctors agreed and left. They continued to stand guard at the door. 

Emily was still thinking of a way to sneak in and get rid of her sister once and for all. She rubbed her chin and started walking up and down. 

That's when she saw a nurse walking out of a room, dressed up. An idea immediately struck her. She sneaked into the room and saw it's a store. 

She changed and wore a fake name batch at the left side of her breast. 

She picked some tray and syringe to make her acting more precise. She walked out of the room and saw as the other nurse greeted her. 

She wore a fake smile and kept on walking towards the room. Leon looked at her once and signalled the men to open the door. 

Emily finally got in and saw Natalia on the bed. She had an oxygen mask on her face. 

She moved closer and smirked. 

"Tsk tsk tsk, may your soul rest in peace, sweetheart" she said. She turned off the machine and removed her oxygen mask. Natalia started moving on the bed. She was having problem breathing. 

She stood there and made sure she's dead. Till she carried the tray and left the room. 

"Will she be fine?" Leon asked her. 

"She's still unconscious. Let's pray she wakes up soon" she smiled and left. Leon noticed something but he didn't want to believe it. She walked in with the syringe and a small bottle and walked out with the same thing. 

He shook the thought off his head and continued to stay guard. 

Emily changed her dress, hid her face and dumped everything she held into the trash can, together with the glove she wore. 

"Natalia is out of the game... Just one thing left" 

After standing for another five minutes, a nurse walked towards them. 

Leon furrowed his eyebrows. 

"Who are you?"

"The doctor sent me to check up on the patient" she said. 

Leon shot his eyes wide open. He opened the door and rushed in. The nurse followed behind. They saw the mask has been removed from her face, the machine was also turned off. 

Leon slipped his fingers into his hair. 

"Fuck! Fuck!" He yelled, kicking the wall. The nurse pushed the blue button close to the hospital bed signalling the doctors. 

They rushed in but it was too late. She was already dead. Leon knew it was the first nurse that sneaked in. He rushed to the security room to check the camera but the whole team were all unconscious when she entered. The computers were all turned off. 

"That bitch!" He tightened her fist angrily. 

He brought out his phone, wondering what to do. He can't bring himself to tell Bellamy about Natalia's death. 

.

Bellamy on the other hand was on the way to the hospital to see Natalia. His phone suddenly rang. He didn't want to accept it till he saw the caller ID. He answered the call and leaned back on the car. His driver was staring at him through the front mirror. 

"Yes?"

"Mr Bellamy, your wife, Cora Brooke is dead" he was told. Bellamy didn't know if he should be happy or sad. Normally, he was supposed to go back home to check on his wife's dead body and start preparing for a burial but... He was still going to see Natalia. 

He has to fake his expression. 

"My precious wife... Is dead? How? How could you let her die?!" He screamed at the phone. 

"Forgive me, she had heart cancer and told me not to tell you about it. She probably didn't want you to be worried since she won't survive it anyway"

Bellamy was hearing that for the first time. He thought she had cold or fever. He didn't know she was that sick. That's why her family sold her to him because they knew she would die soon.

"Um... I'll be home soon" he said and disconnected the phone. He didn't know why he started thinking about her all of a sudden. 

  'Was I being harsh on her?'

  

It wasn't up to thirty seconds when the second call entered his phone. He answered the call after the first ring. 

"I'm on my way to the...

"Natalia is dead, young master" Leon interrupted him. His hand shook and his phone fell from his hand. 

Bellamy didn't hear anything apart from what Leon had just reported to him. 

He heard someone calling him but the voice seem far away. He can't believe that Natalia is dead. He won't believe it. He snapped back to reality and saw it was his driver calling him. 

"Young master, you have a call" he said. 

"Hurry to the hospital! Immediately!" He yelled. 

"Yes sir!" He replied. The driver was scared. He hasn't seen Bellamy this angry before. 

He picked up the phone and answered the doctor again. 

"What the hell is it?"

"She...it's a miracle, young master. Your wife is back to life!" He yelled. 

Bellamy didn't know if he was happy or angry. Happy that he doesn't have to go home to check on her dead body. Angry that she was given a chance to come to life but Natalia wasn't given any chance. 

He tightened his grip angrily.
