Nicholas Carrington:-
"Hey there, pal! Has your flight arrived in New York?" Just after I emerged from a lengthy surgical procedure, I talked to my best friend on call. As usual, the hospital was inundated with patients and crises, and as usual, I was engrossed in treating them to the point that I neglected to arrange for my driver to get my friend from the airport. He and I have had our respective hectic schedules over the past year, so we haven't seen each other For the past year.
"Regarding that, I know I said I would see you, buddy, but something came up. Because one of my comrades was injured in combat and is unable to continue the operation, I have been ordered to fill in for him." In a low, remorseful voice, he informs and continues, “As much as I want to meet you, I can’t, and hope you are going to understand. Duty calls. I became a soldier to serve this country and to dedicate myself in protecting its people, and by refusing to attend the mission, I feel like I am doing wrong to my country and its citizens.”
“Oh, so it means you are not coming?” I asked in an upset tone as I looked forward to meeting him. Zacharias and I have been childhood best friends and studied until high school together until he decided to join the army and I decided to become a surgeon. In a way, we both are serving our country and its citizens so I understand what he is referring to.
“But, don’t worry. I understand because if I was in your position, I would have done the same. Take care of yourself and don’t die on me. You have promised to meet me, dude, and it’s not just me, who was looking after to meet you today.” I said, with a genuine smile taking over my face. When I said that, I heard Zacharias sigh and speak.
“I know, which is the biggest reason why I am feeling so sad right now.” He answered “ I miss her, Nicholas. I miss her so much and want to be there for her, but it’s just I can’t ignore my duty. I know what I was signing up for when I joined the army.” His tone was sad, as he spoke about his biggest weakness in his life, well, not just his weakness but my weakness too, but she doesn’t know that “I promised Juliet that I would be coming to celebrate her birthday this year, but like always I have failed her by not being there.”
As soon, as he mentions and takes the name of his beautiful sister, I got lost as I remembered her beautiful blue eyes, long black hair, milky white skin, a perfect body of a goddess, and damn, just by thinking of her, and her perfect body I was getting hard in my pants and if that wasn’t enough, my thoughts took me to the one beautiful mistake that she and I made three years ago, the mistake of sleeping with one another on the night of her birthday when we both got drunk, only to wake up regretting the very next day.
She might have regretted that beautiful night, but I didn’t. Why? Because since the day, she turned sixteen, I began to build feelings for her inside of me, and by the time she turned eighteen I had already fallen head over heels in love with her but I was scared of confessing my feelings to her without breaking my friendship with Zacharias and his trust. Zacharias trusted me the most with his sister, and I couldn’t break that trust, no matter how madly I was in love with his sister.
“Juliet is a smart and understanding woman, so I am sure she will understand and besides no one is proud of you like your baby sister is of you.” I comforted him.
“I know, man. It’s just when I called her half an hour ago, she felt upset, and her voice was weak and broken like she had been crying.” Zach informs, and just with the mention of her crying, I was on my feet, ready to go and see for myself if she was safe or not.
She moved to New York one year ago when she got the job and since then I have been keeping an eye on her, she doesn’t know that, but I always do. Yeah, we had sex, but it was only once, three years ago. We decided to forget about it and move on without letting Zach know about it. I don’t know if she has forgotten about that night, but I am sure I haven’t as that beautiful night, hunts me every night in my dream.
“What? Did you ask her what happened?” I asked, worried as I made my way out of the hospital.
“I asked but she wouldn’t tell. Something tells me that her asshole of a boyfriend has hurt her. I don’t like that bastard. I swear I want to kill him with my own hands, and I would have if it wasn’t for Juliet being madly in love with him. Why can’t she see that man doesn’t deserve her?” Zach growls on the other side of the phone. I heard some murmurs in the background when he said.
“Listen, I am getting late. I need to get going right now. I have called to ask you for a favor. You know I don’t trust anyone when it comes to Juliet except for you. I swear if I was there I wouldn’t have been asking you for this, but while I am away on this mission, can you please look after my baby sister? I don’t know why, but I am having a strange feeling in my heart like something isn’t right.” He said out of concern and fear in his voice.
“Don’t worry, you go and protect our country. This country needs patriotic soldiers like you. I give you my word that I will look after her. I am just heading to her place right now to make sure that she is doing alright.” I said, breathing heavily because by this time I was running.
“Thanks, man. I knew I could count on you. Talk to you later. Bye.” Zacharias hung up. I was just about to step my foot out of the hospital exit, when an ambulance pulled up, with a paramedic team steering a wounded yet beautiful woman on the stretcher. The woman was bleeding from several places with really serious injuries. When I looked at the woman closely, I stopped dead in my tracks because that woman was none other than my Juliet. The woman I just promised Zack, to protect and look after while he is away.
“Help! It’s an emergency. The case of an accident. The patient’s vital is dropping quickly.” One of the paramedics announced with a terrified look on my face and my pulse racing from fright, I sprinted over to the paramedics who were carrying Juliet inside and shoved them aside.
"Get ready for the surgery immediately!!" I yell out instructions. "We have to do surgery immediately or she's going to die."
Juliet Diaz:-I looked at him with raised brows and stood firmly on my ground while he itched to run his hand on my belly. I could see his struggle, and it was breaking me, softening me up."Explain what, exactly?" I asked, "And, if you have a twin brother, then where is he right now?""Already texted him and he is on his way over here. I knew you wouldn't believe me. It will take him a couple of hours to be here, or maybe less than that," he replies and asks, "How are you doing? Are you doing okay? Are there any complications in the pregnancy? How are our babies?"He looked around for the couch, took my hand and made me sit on it, acting nervous and helpless."You shoudn't be on your feet for long. Sit and I will explain everything to you." he tells me, "Do you need water, juice, anything?" he asked and looked at the stove where my soup was cooking on low flame. "You are hungry? Let me go and finish it up for you. Just give me a few minutes."He begin to get up to cook me something w
Juliet Diaz:-I stood frozen as a statue, as if my feet had been glued to the ground and I couldn't move. I was completely lost for words, and the only thing that was going through my mind was his betrayal and the urge to kick him away and run far away from him. I know I should be doing all the things I am thinking in my mind, but the words that came out were utterly different. I didn't plan to say anything to him."Yes," was all I could speak until. He stood still like me with unreadable emotions. His hands trembled as if he wanted to reach out to me and hug me and rub his hand on my belly."Ca...can I come in come in?""Umm...yes,"I stood frozen as Nicholas stepped inside, the door closing behind him with a quiet click that sounded louder than any explosion in my ears. The air between us tightened. It was like the walls knew who he was, and they shrunk around me in protest.He looked like a shadow of the man I remembered—unkempt, hollow-eyed, a beard lining his jaw that had never b
Juliet Diaz:-After six months:-I have just stepped out of the clinic after my routine checkup and smiled, looking at the sonogram in my hands with the biggest smile on my face as I ran my hand on my pregnant belly. Yes, I am pregnant. Six months. I know I was on birth control, but I missed one time and doubled it the other day, but it looks like it didn't work, and I ended up conceiving that night with Nicholas's baby."Don't worry, my munchkins. You and I are going to be just fine." I told my babies. Yes, two. I am pregnant with twins and laughed when I felt them kick."So, did you find out the gender?" The old lady named Jessica asked in French, with excitement on her face. Jessica is my landlord here in Androa, and a very sweet one. She saw me crying at the airport, vulnerable and alone. She helped me out after I explained everything to her. She took me in, saying I could stay with her as long as I wanted. She knew I needed space from everything, but what I didn't expect after on
Nicholas Carrington:-"No....no....no!" I shouted and smashed the things around when Zacharias gave me the news that she never landed in Florida. "You said she is coming to Florida! You said it yourself, Zach, now where is she? Where is my woman, you asshole?""Hey, watch it, Nick! I am worried too. Are you forgetting she is my sister?" Zach snapped. "I swear I booked her the flight to Florida. She was supposed to land an hour ago. I am as scared as you, but we need to calm down and start looking for her and finding whatever information we can get.""Oh my God! This is all my fault! I pinched my nose and feared for the worst. "I shouldn't have attended that meeting. If I had been with her when she woke up, this wouldn't have happened. She wouldn't have gone out without me, watched my twin kissing his wife, and misunderstood as me. Fuck, Juliet! for making me go to that meeting."I begin to breathe heavily. I tried to inhale and exhale, but nothing was working out. I was having a panic
Nicholas Carrington:-"No...no...no, fuck! It's all because of you!" I shout and paced around the room like a maniac. "Fuck! No wonder why she left me, because she thought it was me. Damn it!""Nicholas, you pacing around and shouting like this won't do you any good." Athena, my twin's wife spoke, as hse approached me and placed her hand on my shoulder. "Your brother's private jet is on standby. Get in it and reach the states before she does. You need to make her understand that it wasn't you who cheated on her before it is too late.""Don't you think I know that?" I snapped, then heard my twin growl. "I am sorry, Athena, but Juliet doesn't work that way. She has got trust issues and won't believe me unless I give her the evidence of my innocence.""Then what are you waiting for? We all should fly to the states." Chrysander announced and looked over at Athena. "Would you be okay to fly, Mi Amor?""It's my eigth month, so yeah. It's not like I will pop right now." she replied with a sh
Nicholas Carrington:-I returned hotel after a successful meeting with the director of the hospital here in the Italy. He offered me a job, but I am not looking for one. I told them that I have a plan to run my own hospital from now on. They want me to do critcal emergency case, so I offered them a deal. To invest inmy hospital and I will do it for them. They have got a great research team and equipments and I am in need of them so it was a win-win for both of us.On the way back to the hotel I bought flowers, chocolates and her favorite pasta, along with a teddy bear. I just can't wait to start my life with my Juliet, but the moment I entered the hotel room, I was met with nothing but silence. There was no sign of Juliet. I searched for her in the bathroom, in the closet, but everything was empty. My heart begin beat fast in fear, when my eyes landed on the engagement ring I gave her last night.I leaned down to pick it up, when my phone rang flashing Zacharias's name on the screen.
