"I need to go to washroom", I said to interrupt the tension between them."You just went fifteen minutes ago", said him."I will take her", said Dane. I sighed NY relief."Wait I'm going with you too", said him."I'm Riccardo by the way", he said to Dane."I'm Tip", he said."I haven't seen your fights but you are a legend man", said Riccardo impressed."Thanks", said Dane. We were walking now towards the washroom.I thought I could talk to Dane but Riccardo is making it impossible."It might take some time. My stomach is upset", I warned the boys."Is it going to be smelly?", taunted Riccardo."Not like inside", I answered."See she has got an attitude", said Riccardo."You got fifteen minutes", said Dane."That is too long", complained Riccardo.Dane removed my mask and I was beyond the clouds. I wanted to hug and kiss him. But it is going to raise some questions."Stop eye fucking him bitch", said Riccardo.I glanced at his jealous face and was tempted to grimace. I can't even say
Riccardo returned after a few minutes. He appears eerily calm and collected. He stopped with the blow job requests. He frowned when he realised that I wasn't wearing the head mask anymore. Dane shrugged and said that I don't have to. He tightened his jaw in response. He knew that the new guard his brother had put forward had managed to win me. What he doesn't know is that the new guard is also my husband Dane Wellington. If he knew that Dane was here he would flip big time. I had warned Dane of the gun that Riccardo possess. But he somehow didn't find the thought scary as me. We couldn't talk freely anymore because Riccardo was here. Dane can't lose his cover for now.I was getting restless as the night approached he said that he would need the cops to distract the guards so he could escape with me. I would be with Dane finally. All the episodes of heartbreaks and betrayal long forgotten. All that matters were now survival of both me and him. But I knew the odds were not in our favor.
I couldn't control my tears. We have finally made it. I turned and hugged Dane hard. I never thought that I would be with him again. I thought I would lose him just as I lost my dad. I felt back of his shirt wet. I raised my head and saw his eyes were blood shot. He gasped as if he couldn't get air. He fell on top of me. I tried to hold him but I couldn't he was too heavy. I fell with him and minimised the impact. I carefully placed his head on my lap. I saw blood seeping down from the bullet wounds on his back. My tears fell uncontrollably. I couldn't take it much longer and I sobbed.Dane started to close his eyes and I screamed in disappointment. I couldn't believe that he is leaving me alone. The rain bullets has stopped finally. But they didn't have Enzo but have managed to wipe out majority of his crew."Don't leave me Dane. Please say something", I begged him.He opened his eyes and smiled at me weakly my heart wrenched at the sight of my husband nearly dying. I can't let him
"On your knees madam", said a cop wearing a bullet proof vest. There were five or six of them."What? Are you kidding me? You have come to save me", I told them."This is a protocol. We have to do it", he said."There is no time. My husband is back there. He is wounded", I begged them."We can't just follow you madam. First we have to search you and ask you certain questions", he said."Fine ask me fast. We have to save him", I reminded them.I was now checked for weapons. I felt humiliated just as I was with Riccardo. They made sure that I was a defenseless woman for the hundredth time.."Are you done?", I asked impatiently."Almost. Now can you tell me your date of birth?", he asked me.I rattled away the generic questions they asked me in the hopes that they will let me lead them to Dane. When they started to ask me about my school. I put my foot down."I'm not going to answer any more of your stupid questions. My husband is fighting death over there. If you are not going to help h
I had answered all the questions and it took almost an hour. I had no way of knowing how was Dane in the mean time. I was tensed all the time they asked me questions. They thought that I was worried for giving them information against Enzo. But I wasn't afraid of Enzo anymore. He had done what he could do already. He had ordered to shoot me and Dane took the bullets meant for me. There is nothing else in this world that matters as Dane for me. After I was done they let me go thankfully. I caught a ride with one of the kind officers who agreed to drop me at the hospital. I was desparate to see my husband.I saw Jake staying on the door and he sighed. I went to him immediately."What did the doctors say?", I asked him."There is nothing that can be said now. But I know he is a fighter he will get through this easily", assured Jake.He made me sit on the chair. I was shaking with silent sobs. I thought that he would be out of danger already but there was no such luck."I will bring you s
"You cheated on Dane?" asked Heidi."It is not like that", I said slouching."Don't bother denying. I got every on the phone", she said smugly."I'm not denying anything. I will confess everything to Dane. I don't intend hide things from him", I told her."You are a liar. If you didn't know that I Jd recorded everything on the phone. You would have denied it", said she."Trust me Heidi I won't lie to my husband. Believe me I would confess everything to him once he gain consciousness", I told her."What ever you better get out of here because I know Dane would never forgive you for your mistakes", said she."I know Dane. He is capable of forgiving he has a big heart than you think but tht doesn't mean I haven't wronged him. I will endure any punishment he dishes out for me", I told her."He is here because of you. If only you didn't create issues between Enzo and him", she said."I'm not going to argue about Enzo while Dane is fighting for his life", I said to her."Stop pretending th
Another hour passed and there was no improvement in his condition. I was really worried now. I had no idea what more to do. I have prayed as much as possible. I couldn't do anything else. I wanted to cry but couldn't my tears had all dried up. I had Jake with me. We were soon joined by his adoptive parents. I tried to console them but I didn't know how. His mother was crying too. I wanted to cry with her too. It was more easy. I saw Jake giving them coffee and trying to give them strength. I felt his eyes getting glistened occasionally. There was a limit to his self control."My poor boy", said Linda."Don't cry pray for our Dane", said Tom."I wish God would take me in his place", said Linda."Stop talking nonsense. Nothing is going up happen to Dane scolded his father.." Linda he would hate to see you like this ", I said when I was able to speak." My dear boy. How happy he was when you visited us? I thought my son will be getting his happiness that was withheld from him", said Lin
I was silent the entire ride home. But that wouldn't stop from chattering my ears off. She was very excited that her daughter is finally home and here to stay. What she wished was that she could have my husband as well. I rolled my eyes. She also told me that she hoped Dane leaves me like a hot potato. It itched me to say that she was only going to lose her hope. I knew in my heart that Dane would forgive me. But our journey won't be easy. But we have come a long way. I have complete faith that we would go a long way.When I reached home I saw that the home was well maintained they also had a living in house keeper. So the things were not completely out of order. I always wondered how they will survive without me but they have managed to survive and thrive. I guess I'm not as important as I thought. If only they let me live my life peacefully. Instead they want to cause more drama in my life.We waited for the queen to grace us with her presence. I wonder what she has to say to me. Bu
