STONE HEARTED C.E.O 106 Annoyed
It was already nine. I had eaten only a little and drank no water at all. Being in this protective suit is making me sweaty and uncomfortable. I knew Jake didn't approve of me starving basically. He even offered to do it. But I politely declined. It is not that I don't trust him. It is just that I only believe in myself. It sounds like something that a control freak would say but trust me when I say this. I knew I had only limited time with Dane. Doctors told me that he is showing a large amount of improvement. It filled me with joy. But it also made me sad and nervous I soon had to leave.I take catnaps sometimes during the day. I get out of the protective gear at night and eat and drink as little as possible. Sometimes the nurse that confessed the truth to me stays while I visit the washroom. Other times Jake keeps watching Dane. Enzo is relentless I knew. He was only waiting for a lapse on our part and soon he would tear into our protective sphere. His parents visit sometimes and

"What is it Heidi?", I asked trying not to sound irritated."Why are you ignoring my texts?", she asked me straight forward."I wasn't. It is just that I have to be in a suit and be with Dane all the time", I tried. It is so hard to text when you are wearing a full body plastic gear. Plus she didn't say anything that is remotely encouraging in her texts."I wanted to know how Dane is doing?", she asked."Better", I said my voice clipped."So when is he going to wake up? Are you sure he will wake up some day?", she asked."Heidi how can you talk like that? He is going to be OK. He has been shot in the back. He needs time to recover", I told her."Are you sure about that? Maybe you don't want him to wake up because then you promised me that you will leave", said Heidi."What kind of a logic is that?", I asked my anger flared."Are you teaching me logic?", she asked me annoyed."No. I'm doing everything in my capacity to help Dane and so are the doctors. You need to be patient", I advice
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 108 Medical miracle
I closed the door after me. I didn't check whether Jake had left or not. I wanted some privacy while speaking with Dane. I wanted to do what Virginia suggested that I do. What if it works? What if Dane is listening to everything happening here. He is only unable to react. What of he misses our conversations and fights? I missed everything we had together. It is only the memory of those heavenly nights that is helping me to lead my life forward. I wished that Dane missed those just like me."Dane. I know you are tired of just lying there and you are listening to me. I miss you too. I want you to fight so you can come back to me. Please listen to me Dane", I said and tears fell through my eyes like river.I touched his hands they were cold and chalky. I didn't know whether he could feel those touches? I was wearing the protective suit to protect him from the infection. There wasn't any reactions from Dane but I wasn't allowed to feel dejected. I needed to help him find the ground. He is

Finally a doctor came and he went directly to check on Dane. I held my breath. I thought he would say that my husband is now cured and he will talk to me soon but he just sighed and turned to me. He finally decided to speak to me the only person who could talk to him. The nurse wasn't still here I wonder why? Usually they came in tow with doctor. I really wished that junior doctor I met came as well."Madam. Forgive me for asking again. Are you really sure that he squeezed your hand?", he asked me."I'm hundred percent sure he did it", I told him. I wanted to congratulate myself for not yelling at him though."Sometimes people who stay with such patients would tell us these things. But most of the time it won't be True. I'm not saying that you are lying. Most of the time it is just an imagination of your own mind", said doctor."I didn't imagine it. I know it happened. I felt him do it. Please believe me", I begged him."So what were you doing while he did the squeeze?", he asked w
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 110 Existential crisis
"What do you want?", asked Heidi. Her voice husky from sleep."I called you multiple times. Why didn't you pick up the phone?", I asked her."Because I need my beauty sleep", she shot back. I wanted to roll my eyes."You said you would be in touch", I said."I'm in touch just not for your whims", she said absently."Are you kidding me? I'm calling you to tell you a very important news about Dane. But you didn't pick up. Do you even care for Dane?", I asked her."What is it? Did he wake up from the coma?", she asked me. I flinched when she said that word. I try not to think of that word. It is very absolute. I like to refer his condition as sleep."He squeezed my hand", I said to her."So? Is it that important? It is not like he woke up and spoke", she scoffed at me."I'm taking care of him full time. It is a very big deal for me. I'm sorry I disturbed your sleep. You can go back to your slumber. I won't call again", I said outraged."Ziva calm down no need to sound so angry. I'm happy
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 111 Not enough
I heard a shouting match from outside. I sighed Heidi is here finally. I quickly went outside to see both Jake and Heidi fighting with each other. The nurse was looking at them in a mixture of admiration and fear. I'm sure she would never have seen her like this. I checked to see whether anyone was recording if they are then all this would become a different level of drama. First thing to do was to put an end to this screaming match. They are disturbing the other patients in the hospital. I'm surprised no security has come to stop. Probably because Jake owns this place."Hey stop it", I told them."She is here again. I will ask the security to throw her out again", said Jake."Who are you to throw me out? I have come here for Dane", she said with a hiss."Dane don't need you. He has got a wife. Don't think there is a chance for you now that he is in coma", said Jake. I winced when I heard him say that word. I try not to think of my husband's condition as coma. It sounds very absolute.
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 112 Disheartened
She left soon. I sat with Dane. I was very silent. I didn't know what to say to Dane. He was getting paler and paler. I knew it was a sign to worry. I heard that the longer it would take a person to wake up after a trauma the less is the chance of them waking up again.I heard a knock and opened it. There was Jake he brought two coffees. He was very composed."Get out of this and have this coffee Ziva. By the way where is Heidi ?", he asked me."Heidi left", I said."Well that was quick. For someone who fought that much you would think that she will stay at least an hour", he said with a smirk."She had work. She couldn't afford to miss it", I said."OK. If I agree with you will you come out and have the coffee?", he asked me."Yes", I said."Fine. I admit that Heidi is the hottest influencer who can't afford to miss a single party for a guy she claimed that she loves", he said.I would have laughed if Dane was not in the hospital. Because Jake was right. I'm trying to support a perso
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 113 Wake up call
I sat with him this time I was holding a Bible that Linda left. I started to read it to him. He was still sleeping. His face was chalky. Once I finished a chapter I put it away. I held his hands for many times and at one point I even thought I would go mad. So I stopped doing a week has passed after that. Heidi didn't visit for a single day. I fear she has lost her interest in Dane. Now a days I stopped getting messages from her asking me to leave Dane. Even Ella has started to re invent herself herself by launching her own social media and gained a few followers courtesy of her daughter.I heard from Charlie that Heidi was seeing some hot shot banker. This could be her reason for the less and less interest in Dane. Jake and his parents were the only ones who were religiously coming. I had to send back Jake because he was constantly travelling and working but still coming and staying the night. It wasn't good for his health.It seems me and Dane is living in a bio bubble. Charlie came

Charlie hadn't said anything to Dane. If only she waited for him to talk. Charlie pretended to say the truth so that Heidi comes clean before Dane. She had done it but I knew she will pay the cost for it. Dane now knows everything. The Wedding won't happen now. I felt a little sorry for my sister after all she had lost Dane again."You didn't say the truth to me. I'm angry at you too", said Dane."I won't blame you. I should have told you about Enzo but I was afraid you won't take it seriously", I confessed."His people had shot me and you think I won't take it seriously? Ziva please be mature", said Dane."I'm sorry Dane", I said."You made us lose our precious three years of life. I missed my daughter's birth and her significant mile stones. It is not something that I can forgive", said Dane."You are right. I was a coward and everyone used that knowledge to influence me", I admitted."You are not a coward Ziva. I wish you were a little more selfish. You sacrificed us for my life. I
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 238 Interference
When I reached the venue I was immediately ushered into the groom's room. I went to see Dane working on the laptop. My daughter screamed and went to hug him. He took her and lifted above his shoulders. Who knew my serious daughter was a fun loving girl ?"I miss you daddy", she said."I miss you too bug", he said."Don't get married", she said bossily."Why?", he asked curiously."Because mommy cries", she said shocking me.He looked at me with a hint of smile. I was dumb struck."I wasn't", I said to him.She climbed down from her father and took her place next to me. I gave her a warning look."Don't lie", she said to me."I'm not lying", I said to her."You said that daddy", she was about to say everything but I put my hand on her mouth."That is enough", I warned her."There is still time confess your love or it will be too late", he said with a smirk."No. Our life is not a rom Com Dane. Everything is not black and white", I said to him."Fine your wish", he said.I took my daugh
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 237 The heartbreak wedding
I'm a stubborn creature where the need arises. I'm not going to backdown even if he says that he can't live without me. But I knew he won't say it. I had hurt him enough but still he says he can't marry Heidi. I can't go home till we reaches some sort of agreement."Dane. I'm not going back where it all started. I want an out", I said painfully. I had a fair idea on how much I was hurting him."Fine. I will get married but you have to be at the wedding. If you decide not to come at the last moment the wedding is off", said Dane."You can't say that. Please I won't go back not with Enzo there", I said to him."The wedding is going to happen here and tomorrow. Remember to be there else there is no wedding. I had booked a cab for you. It is not a good idea for me to join you", he said. I nodded my head. I was ready already.I have to be there at Dane's wedding to my sister. The fate couldn't be any more cruel. It hurt me like hell to adjust to the prospect that my husband is going to get
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 236 Tangle
The thing about mistake is that we don't have a desire to undo it constantly but I didn't feel that way. Sleeping with Dane might be a bad choice on my part but I never regret a second that I spent with him. I would do it all over again if given another chance. But I shall remain silent. My thoughts never should come out of my head. It must stay there safe and silent. Even after I insulted Dane he being a gentleman had gone to fetch me fresh clothes. I stay there waiting for him to get the clothes. He must have ordered it through the hotel. But it still hadn't come. So he had gone there to check what happened to my dress. He might have fired somebody too if the hotel was his.I heard a knock and Dane came through. I stayed there very still. All my instincts said to go towards him. My emotions were over the top plus the amazing sex we had destroyed any small amount of self-control I used to have."Here is your dress", he said putting it on the bed."Can you give me some privacy?", I as
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 235 Settling the score
"I'm sorry for hurting you. I want us both to move on for the sake of Angel. You are also getting married to my sister. Let us end this please. What do you want in return for it?", I asked him."I want you to give me back every kiss I gave you. Then I will forget you and move on", he said."Fine. I have a condition too. I want you to give me back every kiss I gave you as well. So that we can settle the score", he said."Done", he said. I was the one who charged at him he bent down the kiss me. We kissed each other like there was no tomorrow. His tongue duelling with mine. I gasped when he bit my lips hard enough that it hurt. I bit him too drawing blood. He chuckled when he heard me growl. You better stop provoking me. I said in my mind.His hands cupping my boobs. I moaned when his hands tore my expensive dress. I didn't bother to put aside the tattered dress. It lied crumpled on the ground. I stood there in my undergarments. He removed a single boob from the constraints of my bra. H

"You can't let go of me right? You wanted to play me even after leaving me. I just played you back", he said with tight eyes."It wasn't any game Heidi loves you. She asked my help I gave it to her. I have no other interest in you", I said to him."Is that so? Then why are you on a date with me? How does it help your sister?", he asked me crossing his arms."I'm doing what I'm told. You said you will leave me alone after this date", I reminded him."I said and you listened. Things are that easy for you? Our life together didn't matter to you isn't that right? You couldn't endure a life with a handicap so you left me. But still you are here they are right what goes around comes around", he said."Why do you ask me to this date? Is it to torture me?", I asked him."No. I'm on this date to say you goodbye. You might have meddled with my life a lot. But after today you won't do anything like that ever again. I wanted to destroy you initially but then I realised that you are also mother of

"And what do you think?", I asked him."I know my feelings never died for you", he said thoughtfully."You are only saying this to punish me", I said."Why would I want to punish you?", he asked me."Because I left you three years ago", I said."It is correct that you left me. I don't think I can ever forgive you for that. But that doesn't mean that I had lost my feelings for you", he said."I think you want to bed me that is why you are talking about the feelings all of a sudden", I said."I would always want to bed you. I'm attracted to you physically and mentally. I will always want sex from you. Even when we are both a hundred years old", he said."I don't want you", I shot back at him."I realised that three long years ago. But that hadn't deterred me from wanting you like a Madan", said he."You shouldn't say such stupid things. I have used you in the past and disregarded you as it suited me", I lied to him."I got that. It still hurts. I thought you were in love with me", he sa

"You look beautiful", said Charlie carrying my daughter on her hip."Thanks", I murmured putting on the necklace.My open-sleeve dress had so many boob's that I was sure Dane would drool. I knew the game that I was playing is a dangerous one for both parties. It was like fighting with a sword that has no pommel. It can cut both."Is this some kind of a reminder for him? To have an idea of what he missed?", she asked me."I'm only getting ready for the date as he asked me to. That is all there it is. A single date where we will behave like it was the first time I'm seeing him walking", I said."You mean like while you were married to him", she said."Yes for a single date. But there won't be anything beyond that. He is going to get married soon to my sister. She had already told me that it is OK. Dane said that this date night is all he is asking in return for leaving me alone. I have nothing more to ask for from Dane and he will only get what he asked", I said."That is going to be to
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 231 Weighing everything
I have decided to give him what he want. I know it will be a lie to confess that it is something that he only he wants. I want that too. A date that we missed three years ago. I couldn't help but imagine what would have happened if I hadn't met Enzo that day. I want to see him walk towards me for the first time again. He would have been romantic and flirty with me all night. We would have ended that night early each of us eager to go home. So that we could celebrate together at night.I was very nervous. Something inside my mind warned me from going through with Dane's idea. It is not only a worst idea but the after math of the said date would be incomprehensible. I won't be able to forget and move on while he ends this fantasy of date. I would be left with broken pieces of my heart.I called Charlie for clarity. I doubt she has anything new to supply. I already know consequences of my decision even though it doesn't make a difference to me.She picked on the first ring. She had alrea
