Rafael sat in his office, his mind wasn't at peace, he just didn't know why but he got the feeling that things weren't right and that something was wrong but he couldn't pinpoint what it was, he got up from his seat and looked out through the window of his office, Florida was beautiful as always, everything going in the normal order but he was troubled, it might be because of what was happening with his woman and her sister, so far the heat on Nicole have subsided, not that much though, she was still getting lots of hates and he hated that he couldn't shield her from the backslash but his wife was strong and she has been coping well.Every since the news came out everything has been up and down, first he had to deal with facing another public attention that he didn't want, then investors started pulling out of deals with him and then there was his wife who was the bigger victim, she couldn't even leave the house and he felt guilty, she had to endure the most, his dealing might have go
Rafael let out a worried breath hoping that nothing bad had happened."Which hospital are you in?"He gave the direction, it was the same hospital that Nicole goes for antenatal, Rafael turned the car for a second time and drove straight to the hospital, he met Natalie in the hallway, she was looking scared and out of it, he hadn't expected to see her here, and automatically, he sensed she had something to do with Nicole being at the hospital."Natalie? What happened? What did you do? Where is my wife?"He asked, walking up to her, she looked even more scared when he got close to her."Rafael, Rafael, it's Nicole, she is not doing fine, there was so much blood,"She said crying, he looked at her and saw she had blood on her, his wife's blood."Where is my wife Natalie? What happened?"He asked, scared for his woman and their child."I didn't do anything, we had a misunderstanding, and things happened and she fell from the stairs, I didn't do anything to her believe me, please,"She pl
Rafael walked out of the hospital after making sure, no one except the doctors and nurses entered his wife's hospital room, the doctor already confirmed she wasn't waking up anytime soon, so he had to do the needful to make sure she gets justice, not even her parents were allowed to see her, he wouldn't let them, he held them accountable for what happened to his wife and their child, if only they had been able to get through to Natalie all of these won't have happened but they didn't, they were so slow about it and he felt stupid to have left everything to them, he could have stopped Natalie, he delayed, now look what that has caused him, nevertheless, he would still make her pay.He went back to the office when he got there, he forgot the reason he had come by, he didn't even think of what he came to do back at the office z he was just too confused and had just driven there without anything in mind, he got back in his car and dove back to the hospital without doing anything, his secu
Three days later, Nicole still laid cold in her hospital bed, she was responding to treatment but she wasn't waking up, it was as if she didn’t want to wake up, Rafael was fed up with hearing the same story from the doctor, they were giving him anything new to hold on to just the same old story every time he asked them what was up with her and why she wasn’t waking up. it was clear even the doctor didn't expect her to be this late, at least they made him believe that much even though they didn’t say that to him directly, he just knew by how confused they seemed too that they expected to be up earlier, he couldn’t lie that he was scared that she might not wake up again but he didn’t let himself dwell on negative things like that.He couldn't be with her all the time as he was still finding it hard to believe that she had disobeyed him which had lead to this, he still wasn't happy with her but he wanted her to be awake that way he can scold her, yes he was going to scold her a lot for n
"Wait, what?"Rafael asked, she could tell he was offended by what she just said but that's was it, he shouldn't have arrested her twin, it wasn't intentional, Natalie couldn’t and shouldn’t be blamed for what happened because it wasn’t right, it was an accident, if only she had tried to talk to her more calmly maybe it would not have happened."I said let Natalie go,"She said again."You, you must be kidding me, Nicole, you are kidding me, right? You can't have just said what I heard right? Ain’t no way you are saying that right?”He asked in an annoyed tone, she understood his anger but she wasn’t about to sit and let him arrest her sister no matter what, not on her watch."You heard me Rafael, let my sister go, she didn't do it intentionally, it was an accident, you can't lock her up,"She let out, she was still in pain finding out her child was no more but that didn't mean she would watch her sister get punished because of an accident that no one saw coming."I am not going to do
Nicole sat looking around the house, she was seated in her wheelchair in the living room, the house was empty, it's been over a week since she was discharged, she still had to use a wheelchair but she was slowly getting back herself, even though she still felt lost, what made it even worst was Rafael wasn't still talking to her, after he left the hospital that day and he never returned, he had gotten even more distant, the day she had been discharged, she had waited up for him but he hadn't come home, even two days after she was discharged he didn't come home, when he finally did show up on the thirds day, he didn't even acknowledge her, he walked right by her into their room got whatever he came for and left and he hasn't been home since, she hadn't been able to reach him, the only other person aside from her parents who reached out to her was Grace, she couldn't come around because she had semester exams, but she made sure to call her and she was grateful for that, Nicole didn't kno
"I said I want a divorce, I don't want to have anything to do with you or your family anymore, I want out of this marriage, it wasn't meant to happen in the first place,"Rafael let out, Nicole felt her world ending again, this wasn't it, this wasn't what she wanted to happen, she didn't want Rafael to leave her"No, you can't do this, why? A divorce? I don't understand? Until the accident we were cool but then after I know we fell apart but we can fix this, I don't want a divorce please,""I do, and I am going to get it, I can't stand you, Nicole , I can't stand seeing you anymore without thinking about the child we lost, the child I couldn't get justice for because you decided to play the sibling card, I can't stand knowing that my child didn't stand a chance because of some siblings feud and she had to suffer such tragedy and you won't even let me get justice, so this is my decision,"He said."I know, I know you wanted my sister to go to jail for pushing me, and you don't believ
"I love you Nicole , but I can't forgive you and if I can't do that, then I can't be with you, you might think this is not the best choice now but in the long run, you will realize this was the best decision, I hope you get through this and get back on your feet and be happy, sincerely, you made me happy but the sadness you caused me can't be written off by that happiness, I don't know if I would ever stop loving you, just like I don't know if I will ever forgive you, let's hope for the best for each other, good-bye, let's not meet again, I will send the papers over, all you need to do is sign,"He kissed her again as if it was hard for him to let go too, she held her onto him when his lips left hers."Please don't do this Rafael, please, I love you so much, I can't live without you in my life, Rafael please, I love you so much, I am sorry for letting our baby die, please don’t leave me, I can’t be without you now,”She pleaded, but he removed her hands from him, stood up and left eve
