The Billionaires HeirsAdrian…Everything instantly stopped and went darker when I no longer felt her with me. She could die, and this could be the last time I ever see her. The world didn’t deserve her, and I didn’t deserve her either, but both I and the world, along with our children, needed her. They were still in her room. Somehow I managed to get to the emergency room, but anything after Ashley left my eyesight was a blur. I couldn’t see, I couldn’t hear, and I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t live; all I felt was hurt and fear of the unknown. The pain I was feeling was of the worst kind. The kind that you didn’t know if you said enough, you didn’t know if you loved them the most you could, and you didn’t know if you would ever be able to say everything you wanted to. As I sat down, I felt a hard substance in my pocket and was reminded of what I was going to do before everything happened. I reached into my pocket and pulled out a small box. Ashley had been unconscious for two days now
“Come on, son,” she replied, walking away from the room and back into the waiting room. I looked back into the room where Ashley was and my breath came back to my lungs once I saw her vitals normal and the nurses and doctors relaxed since the few seconds I had seen them. I then let my legs follow my mother out to the waiting room, where she was already sitting, along with Jason and Freddie.As I walked into the room, Jason and Freddie looked up at me and immediately stood up, both of them frightened by the news that I was going to deliver.“She is alive,” was all I could give them before I collapsed into the chair next to my mother, emotionally drained and too scared to think of what the future held. “Adrian,” Jason said, making me lift my head up as it was hanging low. I watched as he took something out of his back pocket and handed me a small piece of folded-up paper.“She gave it to me the day before she came to New York. I think she knew and would want you to read it; she told me t
Adrian, my love. I have fully forgiven you for the things that happened in the past. I know this sounds like a goodbye and maybe it is but I want you to know that the last few months I got to spend with you and our children were the best gift I could have ever asked for. If I don't make it out of here alive and I don't get to tell you all these things in person, I want you to know what I was feeling. Please try to find love again. I know it won't be easy to move on from here but the day you do find someone special again, I want you to love her as you will lose her. I know it won't be the same love we used to share but I know it will be even greater because she will be the one who meant your broken heart. I want you to give love another chance after I am gone, because you deserve it.I love you so much, Ad.Your one and onlyAshley.Tears fell onto the paper as I re-read the last few words over and over again. She really did love me and I truly and wholeheartedly loved her with every si
The Billionaires Heirs Third-person POV Ashley's body felt numb. She didn't remember how but she did know she was in the hospital. The handle of the door turned and in walked Doctor Charlene. Her face was solemn and Ashley could already sense what she was about to say."I'm not going to have much longer, am I?" It wasn't a question; it was a statement, and she already knew the answer.Doctor Charlene shook her head. No."Adrian already knows, doesn’t he?" Again, Ashley wasn't asking and Doctor Charlene nodded once again."You can send him in then." Doctor Charlene simply nodded, giving her a half-smile. She understood that she had seen cancer eating Ashley from the inside.Ashley watched as the door opened again. It was Adrian who came rushing in but he closed his eyes as he wasn't ready for what he was about to see. His breathing was uneven, his heart barely beating, his hands shaking uncontrollably, and he could hear his heartbeat in his ear, drowning out all the noise until he he
He kissed her passionately. It was soft and gentle. It didn't last long but it didn't have to. The kiss held the words they had left unspoken. A knock on the door diverted their attention, pulling them back to the sad reality as her mother walked in carrying a tear-stained Bella and Ashton, who was holding his grandmother's hand."Mommy, are you sick?" Bella asked.Ashley looked at her children, not knowing what to tell them. How did she break the news to them? She knows she should tell them something so that when her time comes, they won't be devastated."Yes, Mommy is sick and has to stay in the hospital for a while longer," Adrian said, looking at his kids. He knew Ashley didn't want to burn them at such a young age, especially with death.They spent a few hours talking to their mother and when Adrian noticed how tired Ashley looked, he asked his mother-in-law to take the children home.A week later... It had been a week. Nothing had changed. Ashley still lay in the hospital bed. A
Tasmyn stood gaping at Ashley like a fish, completely shaken at her honesty and straightforward comments. Ashley could only guess that this woman has been insulted before but never to this extent. She would have felt a little bad if it weren't Tasmyn who was receiving the insult."Now, Ashley, we were once friends." Tasmyn tried to suck up, seeming to have finally found her voice again."No, Tasmyn. Let's be honest, we were never friends because friends don't go after their friends' husbands. If you dare to try to tell people that we were friends, I will deny it. And you can fucking bet when I die you will be the first one I will haunt and I will make sure that you wish you were dead, so yes, I am on my death bed and nothing would give me much pleasure to haunt you in my afterlife so get ready because this bitch isn't done with your skanky ass yet." If it were even possible, Tasmyn's jaw hung even more as Ashley said those words. She tried to compose herself by straightening her dress
The billionaires heirsThird-person POVThe phone call came late one night. The hospital number flashes on Adrian's screen. Adrian scrambled up as he looked at his phone. He picked it up immediately, worried about why they were calling him this late. Something must have happened. The nurse who called him was nervous and didn't talk as soon as Adrian picked up the phone. "Hello?" Adrian asked, getting irritated by the second. Why are they calling him if they don't talk? The nurse on the other side of the phone looked at another nurse, pleading with her eyes but none of them wanted to be the one to tell Adrian the news."Are you going to talk any time soon? If not, I'm hanging up," Adrian yelled, frustrated.The nurse swallowed hard and took a big breath. All of them are afraid of the famous Adrian Black. "Mr. Black, there has been a development in your wife's condition and Doctor Charlene asked if you could come in to see her." The nurse finally said."What development?" Adrian snapped.
The billionaires heirs Third-Person POV… Her eyes felt heavy as she stirred and tried to stretch and crack her back. The room was bright, making it even harder for her to open her eyes. She felt a little hand on her and heard a little scream in her ears as she recognized who it was. She forced herself to open her eyes to look at her little girl.“Mommy, mommy, Ashton, look, mommy." Bella’s sweet smile filled Ashley's vision. Her two front teeth were missing and her hair was braided neatly. Next to Bella, Ashton sat with his hair neatly backward, and just like Bella, he had two missing teeth and was dressed in his school uniform."Oh my God, thank you." Ashley's mother's hands flew to her mouth, seeing her daughter awake and she quickly pressed the nurse's bell at the side of the bed."We thought you would never wake up," her mother said through tears. "I will be right back; there is something I need to do." "Mommy, can you come home today?" Bella asked."Mommy, are you all better?"
