A man dressed in an all-black overall walked briskly toward a dark yet sex-filled room. He brought out his phone and watched the video of a young woman being flung to the ground. Although it wasn't a hard hit, it would be enough to cause her injuries that won't be fatal.Except for the pregnancy. Her life might be spared, that was the order. Something nudged him inside as he thought otherwise. The complications should be on the pregnancy only. Then with a smirk, he sighed satisfactorily yet awaiting clarity."I don't want her dead. I just want the baby gone. She can't be with my child," he whispered as he tried to convince himself of his atrocity. As he was watching, a voice cut through the video. That was the voice he had been expecting. " It's done, Rex. I am sure before the ambulance would get there she would have lost the baby""I hope she is not dead, Barry. I don't want her to die. I just want her to lose the pregnancy," Rex said, his heart palpitating yet he stilled it. "She
Shirley never expected to receive such a call from the hospital. She had been trying to get hold of Ariana for a long time but the number was switched off.She was just about to call her office when the call came through. She had been crying and praying all the way to the hospital. Ariana was pregnant and an accident wasn't what should happen to her.Ariana had been very happy when she knew she was going to be a mother and her joy knew no bounds when Rex proposed to her.However the doctor's words were about to shatter her friend's world. Does that mean she was going to lose the pregnancy? "What did you say, doctor? Must the surgery be done?" Shirley asked, stuttering."The surgery must take place as soon as possible or she will lose her life, not just the womb"Shirley was shaking as the doctor told her there was no way out. She grip the hem of her shirt tightly as she fought back the tears threatening to fall."No-no other solution?" She stuttered again, her big green eyes gazing a
Vincenzo's eyes scanned all around the hospital and the fearful faces of the people around him. His gaze fell on the girl crying profusely. He wondered if this was the Shirley that Ariana wanted to save. The same girl that made him see Ariana. He wondered who was behind the girl's accident. He remembered the same thing that happened that day they met. If he hadn't acted very fast, she could have been hit that day too.Who was her enemy that wanted her dead?"Where is she?" Vincenzo asked, trying to control his rising anger. The nurses and doctors were all silent and shivering at the intimidating presence of the man that just came in.The man's aura was damn intimidating. It was even worse because he was angry but the question on everyone's mind was who exactly was the man that just came in."Do you have an idea of who he is?" One of the waiting patients asked."I don't. He is too scary, Mary. Please stop talking!" Her friend who could barely look at the angry man, shushed her.The o
Shirley watched the interaction between the strange man named Vincenzo and the doctor that just walked in. She was confused why the man was helping them. Who exactly was this man? She would have flared up and demanded to know his identity if the situation was different. But for this, she was ready to let go of every confusion as long as it was going to bring Ariana back to life. She watched Doctor Martinez as he was studying the case file. Before the surgery, Shirley approached him to see if there could be any changes. Having to hear that her friend was going to lose her womb was something she couldn't come in terms with.Ariana loves children. "Doctor, do you need to perform the womb surgery? Isn't there any other way to keep her alive?" Shirley asked, feeling anxious."Well, according to what I studied, the doctor's diagnosis is correct. We must perform the hysterectomy surgery on her or else let alone her womb, it would be difficult to save her life" Doctor Martinez said, lookin
In a well-furnished apartment somewhere in the city, the atmosphere was dense and filled with anticipation. It looked like the person in the room was expecting a call.She lifted her face with a smirk as her hands were clasped behind her back. She was pacing around the room in deep thought, her heart filled with hatred. Only one person was looming in her heart. Only one person was making her restless. She was praying fervently to hear the death of that person.She wasn't too interested in the pregnancy. It doesn't matter if she loses it or not as long as she dies alongside it! Not long after, her phone rang and she immediately picked it up. It was her informant she had placed to follow the woman. " What's the update? Is she dead?" She asked, not waiting for meaningless formalities. "I am sorry, Vera. We couldn't do anything to her before she was wheeled to the theater for operation," the person answered."Is that the news you have for me, Sam? Did I send you over there just for yo
Meanwhile, Rex was pacing anxiously, waiting for his friend's call. He didn't know if Ariana survived the accident or not. If she doesn't survive the accident, it means he wouldn't be able to make use of the five million dollars.Someone needed to be held liable for payment. That was what he was trying to explain to Vera but she just wouldn't understand. He was the one that signed as a guarantor, so if any happens to her. He would need to return the money.As Rex was still pacing around, Vera came out of the room putting on a skimpy dress. He took a look at her sexy body and felt the urge to get down with her. But the thought of Ariana quickly brought him out of his lust. "Rex, you can't believe what I heard just now," Vera said immediately after she got close to him. He saw the smirk on her face and he knew it wasn't something pleasant. Could it be about Ariana? Was she dead?He let Vera hold his waist tightly, sniffing in his scent. He was supposed to get intoxicated by her action
Two Weeks LaterOn the bed of a spacious ward in a hospital, a fragile looking young woman in her early twenties, was lying eyes closed. She had a slender gorgeous body even with the white hospital gown on her and a bit curvy. Her white skin looked extremely pale against the white hospital gown with her auburn hair flowing all over her petite face that seemed to be drained of all colors.Ariana tried to open her eyes but the sharp light that penetrated it made her close it once more. She tried again. This time, she slowly opened them and finally adjusted to its brightness. Just when she thought she could stand up, she felt something sharp. "Arrrrrrggg!" She cried out in pain, her emerald green eyes shutting tightly once again. Ariana felt pain on her stomach and head. She touched her head and saw it was bandaged. Feeling confused, she pondered in her mind what had happened to her. She glanced around where she was and noticed she was in a room that looked like a hospital.Images of
She wasn't going to let anyone touch her baby! Ariana continued glaring at everyone and anyone that comes close to her."Where is Rex? Rex, they are going to kill our baby!" She said, screaming loudly.Vincenzo Alberto, watched as the girl went hysterical at the loss of her baby. He sighed wondering why it has to be her. Just when he had finally found a solution to his sickness, this had to happen. He felt pity for her and wanted to help her. It wasn't just because she was the cure to his illness but because he knows the pain of losing someone.He had lost someone too.Pulling himself together, he squinted his eyes as he walked closer to the girl. She was looking at him fiercely as if she would tear him out anytime."Just because your baby is gone doesn't mean you have to kill yourself. Get a grip of your emotions," Vincenzo said, drawing closer to her."Who are you to tell me that? Don't you dare tell me I lost my child! My baby is still here! Get away from me! I need to see Rex!"
"What are you talking about?" Vincenzo asked after a long silent contest between him and Ariana."The men who attacked are behind bars," She sighed heavily then leaned against the chair. Her hands went to her belly, rubbing it with a soft smile on her face."My heart sank when I heard the news about you being in the hospital, my love."Ariana muttered, her hands were still rubbing her tummy but one could see the sadness in her eyes."Come here," Vincenzo said with a worried look on his face. He won't forgive himself if anything happened to her.And the last thing he wanted at this moment was for her to be sad.Ariana glanced at him then stood up from the chair she sat on. She slowly walked towards him and sat on the bed."Look here, Ariana. There's nothing for you to be sad about. I love you and that's the one thing you should know." He cupped his hands around her cheeks.Ariana stared into his eyes for a while then nodded."I'll stay strong," She smiled. She held his hands for a while
The man from before stepped out from the prison with a calm look on his face. He took out his phone and dialed a number."Hello boss," the speaker said from the other side of the call. There were noises from the background but the man knew exactly what was going on. He looked around and whispered a few words to the phone."Get the car ready and make sure you monitor them very well. The man has already asked us to unleash the plan so we must clear this case tonight and leave no trace behind, you get that?" He asked slowly, still looking around. The responder replied with an affirmation and the man nodded and ended the call."Let's see how you're going to escape from this. You're going to die tonight and I will make sure I leave no traces behind. This job caused me a lot and it's a risk to my life," He muttered then left the place.The man stepped inside his car and drove out of the place towards the bustling city. A few minutes later he packed his car in front of Vincenzo's mansion."
Hours passed by in a flash and the sound of people whispering drifted into Rex's ears. He tried to open his eyes but it seems like his muscles weren't ready to answer him.He struggled for a while but when he saw that it was pointless he laid on the bed and listened to what they were saying."Just take a look at how broken his fingers are, not even surgery can repair them. It is so unfortunate that he has to end up with those people. It seems they haven't stopped their endless and stupid traditions. Oh! I feel for him," A male sighed heavily and from the look of it. It seems he was in the prison hospital.'Was I taken here by them?' Rex thought."Come on, stop it already, look at the way you are speaking?! It's not like the one sleeping on the bed is innocent too! They are all criminals!" The white haired man yelled angrily."They committed a crime! They went against the rules and regulations of the country and so they must be punished by the law! So it is better you keep your mout
Rex sat in the far corner of the cell monitoring the other mates who were shooting glares at him. His mind was filled with thoughts. "It has been a day or two since I got trapped in this cell, while Ariana is out there with that fool," Rex clenched his hands tightly as waves of emotions overwhelmed him. "As long as my plans work out, I will never regret being in this place" He thought while still watching them. One of the burly men in the cell pointed at him and the duos behind him nodded.'I can sense trouble,' His eyes narrowed slightly as the huge man in the middle stood up and walked towards him with a cold and sinister look on his face."Newbie, isn't it about time you pay your respect to the elders in this place? I gave you two good days to come to your senses. Haven't I been generous enough?" He smirked. Rex calmly stared at him for a while then at the men behind him. He kept quiet and focused on the plan he had in mind."Hey you!" The man yelled angrily."You punk! Aren't
Vincenzo looked around his office, he didn't want to be here today, he knew that well, he would rather be at home with his beautiful wife and unborn child.But he also needed to work and sort things out and leave the house because he despised the idea of lying to Ariana.She didn't approve of him getting to the root of the matter, she was chill 'It's out there already' she said, justifying her nonchalant attitude toward the whole issue.He is like that she was not worried he would hate that, with her condition she need not worry. He had read that somewhere.As much as he wanted to let go of the issue, he also wanted to find out where the press had gotten the information, it couldn't have just been out there. He knew how much he had guarded this secret.Finding the truth was not going to be easy. He knew this, these journalists and media people can be very uptight, and getting answers from them would be extremely hard.But he was a determined man and was set to do anything within his po
In between all the chaos of trying to clear the air about the news that came out, Vincenzo also started to get calls from investors in his company saying they wanted to pull out.Everything was crumbling right in front of him.He could afford the investors pulling out at this moment. He had just invested all the company's money, including the ones the investors wanted to pull out. So whatever happened would have to come from him.He'd go bankrupt if that happened.He called the investigator he hired to find out the root of everything. He prayed to God that if it was Rex, he'd make him suffer for a long time.Ariana was the only one doing everything for him at that moment because everyone he had given tasks had turned up with bad news.She requested that she go in to head the meeting with the investors in hopes that she'd stop them from pulling out of the company. After all when they have their child, it would be his property, and she couldn't afford that slipping from him.After the
Rex felt bad that Ariana's feelings were hurt in the process, his plan had only been to hurt Vincenzo.But it was inevitable actually, Ariana had made him admit instead of taking things the way they were she had sought closure and hurt herself in the process.He knew Vincenzo would come for him once he knew the truth, he loved Ariana too much to not have any Justice for what he did, and he was well-prepared for anything.Being well aware of the influence Vincenzo had, Rex knew he couldn't do it alone, he required help, some sort of backup, someone to be there for him if things went South.He found a perfect partner in Marcus, their hate for Vincenzo had brought them together, and they intended to take him out of the way, certainly.When Rex heard the sirens just outside his house, he wasn't scared, he had backup, and he knew he wouldn't stay there for long.***“Trending on many social media platforms now is the contract paper that seems to belong to Mr. Vincenzo and his wife.”“The c
Ariana got up without a word and walked out of the house without looking back, she got what she wanted and her mission was done.She took off her heels immediately, she slammed the door behind her. Holding the tears back until she got into the waiting cab.“Go,” she said as she stepped in, slamming the door and making the driver jolt in his seat before turning to look at her.“I'm sorry” she apologized as she caught a glimpse of the look on his face.Without another word, he drove out of the premises.She let the tears flow, Rex had abused her. He probably didn't realize it, but he did, taking off her clothes and taking those illicit photos of her.Safe to say, he was and still is sickly obsessed with her. If he truly loved her, why did he chose Vera over her? Why did he hurt her or was she meant to be hurt by all the men she loves?Was it her fate? She looked out the window, watching as the street went by as they drove with her mind reeling with different thoughts. Wondering what V
Vincenzo woke up a happy man. Every day was good for him as long as he had her with him. Everything in the world seemed okay.The sky was sunny, the birds were chirping, and all was right.He got up from bed, but not without kissing her on her forehead and her protruding stomach.He was careful not to wake her up.Furthermore, he felt she needed more rest. Likewise, he wanted to avoid anything that would cause any complications to arise.He got up, showered, got dressed in a particular suit he had chosen for that day, and dashed on her perfume. He wanted to be reminded of her all day long.He went to check on her before he left, in case she had already woken up.Panic coarse through him as he didn't find her on the bed. He felt his heart starting to race.He calmed down when he called out her name, and he heard her voice from the bathroom. “Is everything alright?” She asked as she stepped out of the bathroom, confused as to why he looked so worried.“Everything's wonderful, darling"
