Robert

I went out to talk to Alex in the meantime. I was almost sure that he had nothing to do with this, but I should be careful. 

He was sitting on the bench in front of the ward. He got up as he saw me.

“How is she, Robert?” He asked.

“Better, I suppose. Of course, she was… uh… really broken, but yeah she slept now, so”

“Oh okay, that’s good”

“Hm…”

I sat down beside him and he sat too. There was a silence while I wanted to know if he had anything to do with it but I knew that there was no way. I had to wait for at least 24 hours and it is so frustrating. Even with the advanced technology, I have to know now. 

It’s like if Alex had anything to do with it… then he can do anything more in these hours. What will be the use? I had to act on the spot. Also, I think they were smart enough to know we can figure out who the number belongs to, so maybe they plan on doing something before 24 hours? 

I don’t care about me but I can’t see Hailey in more pain.

“Alex?” 

He looked at me and sighed. “I hope everything becomes fine soon, Robert. Hailey did nothing to get all the sadness…”

I ignored him. “I wanted to know something, honestly”

“Yeah?”

“Did you have anything to do with it?”

He looked flared up at that question but then took two deep breaths and calmed himself. “What type of question is this, Robert?”

“Just answer me”

“I won’t fucking answer you because you might very well be the one to do this!”

Is he insane? Me!?

“Are you completely crazy!?”

“No! My words make more sense because you were the one who was always beside her! you were the one who always gave her food!”

I scoffed. This is madness. “You are crazy”

He stood up. “In the last year, I thought we improved our relationship, Robert, but you are still the same and mind this, we are enemies for life”

“At this moment, when Hailey is breaking down and needs us, you would start this?” I talked rationally and stood up too.

“Yup I would, because you are the one who started it”

“It is not my fault! You know that no one can be trusted this easily!”

“Same goes for you, Robert!”

“But I never…” my voice trailed off as I remembered what I had done with her always. All those memories flashed in my mind and the last year vanished. I remembered the tortures, her screams in the punishment room… and it… broke my heart.

“Yeah? You never what? Hurt her?”

I took a deep breath and looked the other way. My eyes were tearing up. I know I always hurt her but… I… I love her…

“Robert you started this fight when I was trying my best to mend our relationship. I know Hailey needs both of us right now and we will be here. But damn, we are enemies and always will be”

I nodded slowly and he left. Maybe it was wrong to ask him but… what other choice did I have? I am good at reading reactions so I thought that maybe I would figure out the truth from the way he reacts! But I didn’t realize that the price was this big.

I sighed and went inside. From what I perceived from his reaction, I don’t think he had anything to do with this. I ruined everything for nothing.

-----

Summer

I was standing near the reception as Alex was inside. He said that maybe Hailey needed him more than me, so he only went inside.

I saw him coming outside so I went to him. 

“How is she, Alex?”

“She is sleeping, so I didn’t meet her”

“Okay, so--”

“I am going home” 

“Uh… you are not gonna stay and wait?”

“Nope, you can if you want to”

“Well, okay…”

He nodded. “Are you okay?” I asked him.

“why not”

I nodded and then he left. Something was definitely wrong but uh, you gotta stay away from him when he is angry. He mostly gets too angry to talk with. Yeah, those typical anger issues. But he is a really good human.

I went inside and sat on the bench in front of Hailey’s ward. I just hope everything becomes fine and I also wanna know why Alex is suddenly angry…

I received a call.

“Hey,” I said. “Cas?” 

“Hey… where are you?” she asked. Oh, I told her we are going to the hospital, is she really calling to ask this?

“Hospital, of course”

“Alex… he isn’t with you, is he?”

“What happened?”

I heard sobs from the other side which increased my heartbeat way too much. “What happened?” I repeated.

“He… he had an accident… and he is in ICU. It seems like he is in critical condition…”

“WHAT” I stood up. “Which hospital?”

“I will send you the address”

“Something’s off with you too, isn’t it?” I asked her. She sounded dumb. 

“I… they think that it was a planned murder… but um…”

“WHAT!?” 

I took a deep breath and calmed myself. Murder? Why? Who?

“But don’t worry, I am just reaching. You stay with Hailey”

“You sure?”

“Yes”

I sighed and ended the call. Why Murder?

    HaileyI was happily eating the ‘edible’ porridge. Well, not that happy because Robert was also eating it because of me. He doesn’t need to be that sweet, you know. He can just be like a normal husband.But I sure love him more when he is like this.I looked at him and he looked back at me.“Eat your food”“Nope,” I replied.“May I know the reason, miss?”“I am not miss!”“Well, Misus?”“Yeah better!”He laughed. What is so funny, huh? How dare he call me miss when I am married to him!“Oh keep on laughing, I am angry” I pouted and he got up and suddenly kissed me on my lips. Then he got away and looked into my eyes.“That is gonna be hard. Are you sure you are gonna remain angry?”I sighed. He knows that his kiss just melted me. “Nope”

But the aura he had yet again was similar to that and it was freaking me out.I thought he had a change of heart.I looked back into his eyes.“Robert. Get off me…” I whispered, lovingly. I know that, if I want him to listen to me, I have to be polite. He just looked at me, without saying anything. I waited for him to react.Then he traced his finger around my face and sighed. “You are beautiful”“I know,” I whispered. I don’t know why, but he feels so different. Then he looked at my lips and slowly kissed them. I kissed him back because he hates it when I don’t.His kiss too felt a little different but I ignored it. Then he got away and laid beside me. I sighed and calmed my heart. My heartbeat was over 100, I guess.

    SummerI was at home with Alex. His hand was hurt and his leg also almost fractured, so he is on bed rest. After long pleadings with the doctor, we were able to bring him home. They wanted to keep him there.I brought water to him and sat beside him. We just came yesterday and he is already so bored. I heard Hailey was also fine, but we couldn’t visit her because Robert had told us all to stay in our houses and take care of each other. Well, I don’t know if that was a good decision, though.I kept the glass on the table near his bed. He looked at me. “You are so good, Summer. I mean, really. You do so much for me--”“Uh, don’t start again” I sighed. He is suddenly on with his gratitude for everything since last night.“uh okay. Well, how is Hailey? Did you talk to her on the phone?”“Oh no, not today. Yesterday I asked her, she was good”“That&rsq

I didn’t know how to react to something like this because I had thought I would never face it again. But here he was, again saying the same thing.“You know what I am saying, don’t you? I don’t think you have any sort of hearing problems. If you do, then tell me, I would consult a doctor” he said so with a smile.I was completely taken aback. I didn’t know a single thing.Don’t tell me my entire work, everything I ever did, sacrificed, worked for, and compromised… went to waste. This is a nightmare.I have to wake up, this can’t be the reality.I closed my eyes. “Closing your eyes won’t change a thing”I got up from the couch we were sitting at. He smir

Now we’re gonna celebrate your birthday”I smiled. Yes! It is gonna be so much fun. Maybe I will make new memories and forget what happened today anyway.“Yeahh” I replied.The car started and the speed was good. I was enjoying the scenes that went by. It looked so beautiful. My life was going smoothly and it was good. I know that it is not a good sign, what happened today but anyway I do think that maybe it was some prank. I mean, he never gave any explanation… but I don’t know.I just can’t jump to the conclusion that he is acting. I trust him, after all we are married for two years. and maybe one year wasn’t so beautiful, only I know how much I loved the last year

Why?”“Because I want you too”“Firstly that makes no sense because I am not a businesswoman and secondly, for that you brought me here and did all that? Unbelievable”He sighed. “look Hailey. I knew you would not agree. And you may not understand how important this is to me, so I thought to keep a backup plan”“Backup plan? To blackmail me?”“I…” he sighed. “You can just use better words”“Like what?”“Like to just explain you”“That makes no sense. You have no better words for this. there aren’t any better words.

If he knew, he would not be doing this right now!We were walking to his car. I wish I knew what was the reason behind this but seems like I don’t. Maybe this all was planned? and the year was fake?

    HaileyI was looking at him. I was in the same Ambulance as him because I wasn’t much hurt. He was really hurt and the doctors were hesitant in making the right call: they were confused if they should take him to the hospital first or should perform an operation on the way.The bullets had seemingly pierced deep. I was already in tears. “He’ll be alright, right?” I asked the doctor. He was concentrating on his breathing and looked at the monitor consciously.“he should be.”“W-what do you mean should be! He has to be!”“Please be calm, mam. We are doing the best we can.”I cried and cupped his face. “I love you, Robert. You have to get well and that too soon. Do you understand me!?”I saw his lips curl into a slight smile. I smile widely noticing that. Was I hallucinating or did he really smile?

I can’t fail.“I’ll give you everything John, leave her, ” I said to him again but he ignored me. He forced Hailey to look at him.“That day I stopped” He smirked. “Today I want and I will do it in front of your husband.”“John!!” I yelled but he didn’t even pay any heed.“Let’s go inside.”He smirked as he went inside.

She smirked and pulled me closer and joined our lips. “Let’s talk.”“Talk, huh?” I kissed her back and hovered over her. “Start then.”She blushed and looked at me. “I think that I have recovered.
