The Girl He Hates 132 #Desperate times, Desperate measures
JASON“Kevin,” I said, seeing Kevin enter the room in the hospital where Kiera was lying unconscious on the bed. “What are you doing here?Kevin stepped inside, a tiny little munchkin hiding behind his back, a worried expression on his face. “Daddy,” the little girl whispered, tears welling up in her eyes as she reached out for me, running towards me for a hug.My heart ached as I witnessed her vulnerability and fear.“Aria, you shouldn’t have come here, baby,” I said, making her sit on my lap as she hugged me tight, her small frame trembling against mine. “I needed to see Mommy,” she whimpered, her voice barely above a whisper. I held her close, feeling the weight of the situation pressing down on us both. “I saw her carried away in an ambulance,” she continued, her voice shaky. “I was so scared.” I hugged her tighter, trying to offer what little comfort I could at that moment of uncertainty.“Aria, my baby...” I whispered, pressing a kiss on her forehead. “Mommy is here; look!” I sa

JASON“Are you sure he can help us?” Kevin asked as we stepped out of the car and walked towards the building. “You know, these places seem suspicious.”I raised my head, my eyes staring at Kevin, who seemed hesitant. “Are you scared?” I chuckled, placing a reassuring hand on his shoulder. “You deal with crimes and dangerous situations every day; this should be a piece of cake for you.” Kevin gave me a small smile, his confidence growing as we approached the entrance.“That’s not my point. I just don’t want us to get in over our heads,” he replied, his voice tinged with uncertainty. “Do you trust that guy we’re meeting inside?” he asked, causing me to pause and ponder his question. Despite my own reservations, I nodded confidently and replied, “I trust him enough to know that he is our only hope now.”“No, I don’t, but now he is my only hope,” I admitted, trying to reassure Kevin as we stepped inside the dimly lit building.Men in black suits stood at attention, eyeing us suspiciously
The Girl He Hates 134 #Let’s save your wife
JASONI took a deep breath, grateful for his willingness to assist me in my time of need. “Kiera... suffered from leukemia,” I began, my voice trembling with emotion. “But with treatment and care, her leukemia went into remission. However, because of that, her lungs suffered irreparable damage.”Antonio listened intently. “She needs a new pair of lungs to save her life.” I nodded, tears welling up in my eyes. “What is so hard about that? I will kill someone and steal their lungs for her,” Antonio declared, his tone firm and resolute.I shook my head, horrified by his suggestion. “No, Antonio, we can’t do that,” I said firmly. “Even I thought of that, but Kiera would rather die than have someone else’s life taken for her own survival.” Antonio looked at me, his eyes filled with determination.“Your wife seems to be interesting and strong-willed. I will find another way to help her,” he said, his voice softer now. “I have found one, but...”“But what if you found one that did the fuckin
The Girl He Hates 135 #A sense of Unease
JASONAntonia and I stare at the couple sitting across us in their tiny space; their faces show a mixture of curiosity and confusion.“Why are you here again?” the woman asked, holding her husband’s hand. “We already told her that we couldn’t donate our daughter’s organs,” she continued, her voice tinged with sadness. The husband squeezed her hand reassuringly and replied, “We understand that our wife needs the transplant, but we can’t bear the thought of parting with our daughter’s organs. We hope you can find another solution for her.”“She is on life support,” I replied, trying to convey the urgency of the situation. “We are running out of time,” I added, hoping they would reconsider their decision. “I know that for your daughter, it was a precious gift. It’s hard for any parent to make this decision.” I said it with empathy. “I am also the father of a girl, and I know how difficult this must be for you. But with your one yes, you can potentially save multiple lives and give others

JASONI stepped inside the warehouse, following Antonio and the couple down the narrow hallway. It’s dark, with only a little light filtering in through the high windows, casting long shadows on the concrete floor. The air is musty and filled with the smell of old machinery and metal, adding to the eerie atmosphere of the abandoned building.The wife whispered, barely audible over the creaking of the floorboards beneath us, “These places haven’t been touched in years.”The husband held her hands tightly, a look of concern etched on his face as we continued deeper into the warehouse, unsure of what we might find in the darkness ahead.Antonio chuckled and reassured, “Don’t be scared!” as he opened a giant door at the end of the hallway. Antonio chuckled, opening a giant door at the end of the hallway. “The place gives off a dangerous vibe. Best for torturing your enemies,” he said with a sinister grin, revealing a hidden room filled with chains and tools. The couple exchanged nervous g

JASON“Just a slap won’t be enough,” he said, his eyes gleaming with determination. “How about I give you a knife or a better gun?” he suggested, a dangerous glint in his eyes.“No….” The husband spoke firmly, shaking his head. “Maybe he’s a bad guy; maybe he’s the reason for our daughter’s suffering, but we can’t stoop to his level.” The husband spoke, holding his wife’s hand tightly.“You know that with his power and meddling, no law or justice system will be able to truly punish him,” Antonio said, his voice filled with frustration. “I am giving you a chance to do what needs to be done—to seek justice for our daughter in a way that the law cannot. Think about it,” Antonio urged, his tone pleading yet resolute.The husband and wife exchanged a meaningful glance, silently contemplating their next move. “Still, we can’t let our emotions cloud our judgment,” the wife finally said, her voice steady. “We are not bad people, nor will we stop at his level. Maria will never be happy if she

JASON“How is she?” I said, upon seeing Kevin standing in the hallway outside Kiera’s hospital room.Kevin sighed and ran a hand through his hair before responding, “She’s stable for now, but the doctors aren’t sure how long she will stay that way.”“Don’t worry, Marie’s parents agreed to donate her the lungs she needs for a transplant,” I said, trying to offer a glimmer of hope in the midst of uncertainty. “Hopefully, she can make a full recovery with the transplant.”“I don’t know, man; I’m not sure if she’s strong enough to survive the surgery.” Kevin’s words crashed over me like a wave of doubt.“What the fuck are you talking about, Kevin? Kiera is a fighter; she’s been through so much already. She can handle this; I believe in her,” I replied firmly, trying to bolster Kevin’s wavering confidence in Kiera’s strength and resilience.Kevin put a hand on my shoulder, giving it a gentle squeeze. “I want that too. I just can’t shake this feeling of uncertainty.”“Let’s just hope for th

JASON“Kiera...” I mumbled, planting a gentle kiss on her forehead. I whispered, “I’ll be right here with you every step of the way.”I brushed her hair, hoping that she would find comfort and strength in my presence. “You have to fight through all these for me, for Aria, for Kevin, and for everyone who loves you,” I said softly, squeezing her hand in reassurance. “You’re not alone in this battle, Kiera.”I feel a gentle squeeze on my hand as she is listening to words, even if she is unconscious. I lean in closer, feeling the warmth of her hand in mine, and continue to speak softly. “You are strong, Kiera. You can do this.” I take a deep breath, trying to stay calm and composed for her sake. “You fought for so long; there are just a few more steps to go. After the transplant is complete, there won’t be anyone or anything that can stop you from living the life you deserve.” I pause, feeling a surge of hope and determination in my own heart. “Know that I love you and always will, no mat
