TRUST ME Chapter 344
He nervously ran his large hands through his hair as his stomach twisted with anticipation and fear. Sandra came around the corner from the kitchen, a frown pulling her brows together. She had heard her husband’s angry growl and knew there was a problem. Fighting the urge to cry, she stood by the doorway, struggling to keep control over her voice.“What’s wrong?” she asked, fear racing through her veins like icy water.“Andre met with the team who installed the security system at Sabrina’s,” he said in a deep, angry tone. “He told them he was her fiancée, so they didn’t hesitate to explain the setup to him.”“Oh my God,” Sandra said in a quiet tone.“Clark is on his way, along with the police, and Irena will be there any minute,” he assured her, repeating her own calming response from earlier.“Creighton,” Sandra said, tears filling her eyes. “What if…”“Don’t say it,” he told her as he walked across the room and pulled her into his strong embrace. “We have to trust those in France to

“Irena,” Clark shouted, kicking at the burning timber separating him from the girl. The Firemen joined him a moment later, Sabrina beside them, mask across her face, her blouse wide open. The one man sprayed his foam on the flames as the second helped Clark move the beam, then hurried to where the girl lay unconscious."Get out of here,” the Firemen shouted to Sabrina as he tossed the empty extinguisher aside and moved to help Irena. Sabrina hesitated for a moment before being pulled to the front door by the Fireman holding her arm. Within seconds she was on the pavement outside the building, the heavy black mask still across her face. She fell to her knees coughing violently as she pulled the mask off. “My sister is still in there,” she gasped.“We’ve got it,” the Firemen insisted as a second one came to her side, pulling her toward the curb. “Please,” she argued around gasps for fresh air. “She’s pregnant. Please help save her.”“We’ll take care of it,” the first Fireman promise

The doctor nodded slightly and drew a deep breath. “She was still in recovery the last I knew. Her condition made surgery a little difficult,” he answered. “She has several second degree burns as well as a fractured pelvis, a broken humerus and femur. She will require several months of extensive physical therapy.”“What are her chances of walking again?” Rupert asked with a deep frown.“There shouldn’t be a problem with regaining full control of her gait. I would say three to four months of intense therapy. She will most likely need to have a cesarean section, though. A fractured pelvis would prevent her from having a vaginal birth, but her doctor will have to be the one to determine that when the time comes.”“A cesarean section?” Emma asked with a stunned look on her face.“A vaginal birth?” Bess asked immediately afterward.“You mean she’s pregnant?” Creighton asked with a very similar expression as the rest of the room’s occupants.“I thought you knew?” he said as the door opened

Giovanni’s frown deepened as he thought about the last thing he could remember. Then the past few hours began to seep through his conscience, and he looked up to Sabrina.“Andre?” he said in a hushed voice. “Are you alright?” he asked, his tone weak and filled with concern.“I’m fine,” she told him with a shaky smile as tears rolled down her cheeks. “I’ve been so worried about you.”“I’m alright, darling,” he told her, trying to raise his hand toward her cheek but found the effort difficult, and laid it back down across his stomach.Sabrina lifted his hand to her lips, kissing it gently before placing her cheek in his palm. Giovanni brushed a tear away with his thumb and smiled when she turned her lips to kiss his hand.“I think it’s time to let the boy get some real sleep,” Creighton said with a deep sigh. “I’m going to check on Irena before I go back to the flat. Do you want a ride, sis?” Sabrina shook her head as she laid Giovanni’s hand back across his stomach before resuming her

“We’ve posted security at all the exits,” he told them in his rich native tongue. “My men are stationed at the lifts and the underground parking. If he shows his face, we’ll catch him.”“Thank you,” Creighton said as he ran his large hand through his longer than normal dark hair. “Has anyone checked the flat?”“The manager let us in a few minutes ago. I’ll have a couple of men escort you up and stand watch.”“I want that man found,” Creighton said as he stood up. “There’s a bounty placed on his head and I’m willing to match it. I think it would serve everyone well if your men found him before a less honest person does.”“Don’t worry, we’ll find him. He’s too visible and too well known not to be spotted. This evening’s paper had photos of him in it, and I have a team of officers on their way to Bordeaux to bring his mother in for questioning. Inspector Ashford has filed a petition to have Monsieur Marez’ death reopened. I’m sure it won’t be long now before we have all the details to pu

Sabrina gasped as she dropped her hand to the table. The thought that she could actually be pregnant was the last thing she could have imagined. Even when Giovanni told her, before going to Euro Disney, that he would not allow her to marry Andre if she was carrying his child, the idea of having a baby seemed so farfetched she didn’t give it much credit. But now…“There is a chance, isn’t there?” Creighton asked, sitting in the chair opposite her.“I didn’t think it was possible,” she said in a hushed tone as she mentally began calculating the weeks since her last cycle. “We’ve been together since June, since the night we took The Tornado out. How could I have been so naïve?”“You’ve had a lot going on the past couple of months,” he told her. “It’s not surprising that you didn’t stop to consider the possibility.”“What am I going to do? I can’t tell him. He’s too weak.”“There’s no point in sounding the alarm just yet. When we get to hospital, you can get your blood tested. Once you kn

Sabrina paced the small corridor outside the laboratory. The nurse told her it would only take a few minutes for the technician to run the blood test, but that was nearly half an hour ago. She looked down the hall as the door at the end opened and a uniformed officer stepped through. Silently, she rolled her eyes. The last thing she wanted was to have to make light conversation with a strange man who was ordered to watch her every move.She looked through the glass window and into the sterile lab beyond, sighing heavily at the three workers who seemed to ignore her. She knew there were other patients who needed results as well, but surely her test shouldn’t take this long. Then her nerves began to jump. What if something was wrong? What if she wasn’t pregnant? What else could it have been?“You’re looking very healthy for a dead woman, darling,” the man said as he stepped to her side.“Andre,” she gasped with a start, turning to look into his face shadowed by the Policeman’s cap.

Creighton left his sister’s side once Peter arrived, allowing the two sweethearts the chance to speak with their parents uninterrupted. He knew they needed time to explain her pregnancy and discuss how they planned on proceeding from this point. He found the nurse Sabrina had spoken with when they arrived sitting behind a large counter in the middle of the hallway. The computer screen in front of her distracted her attention and she didn’t see Creighton step up to the counter. It was the audible gasp from the young nurse behind her that had her turning around to see the handsome man.“Excuse me,” he said in a flawless flow of French. “You were helping my sister a short time ago. She was getting some testing done.”“Oui,” the woman said, blushing softly. “I took her to the laboratory. Take the lift down two floors and it’s to the right.”“Merci,” he said with his typical heart-melting smile. He was far from a fool, and he knew how women responded to his looks. In a way, it was very f
