All Chapters of Love Me Fiercely: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Yana's PoVI've been laying in the dark for the past hour, wondering what the hell I did to deserve any of this. My eyes are practically swollen shut because of how many times I've cried. Natasha finally got her wish, she can have him!My phone rings yet again, Laura has been calling me every few minutes, especially since I've turned my location off."What Laura?!" I ask in a raspy tone.She sighs, "Oh. Thank God! I've been worried sick!"I roll my eyes but grimace as my head throbs painfully. "I'm fine, I just wonna be alone right now."She groans lowly, "Sis, please come home or at least tell me where you are."Hissing my teeth, I hang up and toss the phone on the bed beside me. When the photos and video popped up on my phone yesterday, my phone slipped from my hand to the floor. Somehow, I summoned the strength to text Kyle ten minutes later and ask him to deliver my message to his friend.I decided not to call Zach's phone again, since he didn't take my calls when I was worried si

Yana's PoV Since I left, I've been tempted to return home with my tail between my legs. It feels like I'm on a work trip yearning to return home to see Laura and Alex. But I've started to recondition my mind to accept the things I can't change, despite the million messages and calls from Zach. Zach has been plaguing my dreams nightly while Laura and Alex have been pleading with me to return home. I question my decision to leave sometimes but I will have to live with it now. Our last conversation keeps replaying in my mind repeatedly. Flashback He ignored the nurse's order and got up from the hospital bed when I told him I'm leaving. I just needed to see him one last time, I kept telling myself. Zach presses my cold hand to his chest, right above his heart. "Feel what you do to me Yana…” He presses a kiss to my forehead. "You have my heart forever and always.” My aching heart desperately wants me to melt into his warm embrace, but I steel my resolve. "You promised you would never

Zach's PoVHope rises within me as I await the arrival of Detective Oraine Barnes in my office. For the last month, they have been chasing every lead and finally something concrete popped up.As soon as a knock sounds at my door, I open it and welcome him inside. He's preceeded by Kyle, Connor and Laura. I'm just grateful she hasn't written me off as yet. "Let's get right to it shall we." I state while taking my seat, and the others follow suit."Mr. Lindsay, we found the security guard who was working the night of your incident."I close my eyes and whisper a silent prayer before responding. "Okay, what does this mean for my family and I?"He opens his iPAD, clicks on a file then hands it to me with a video. "Miss Gomez paid him to doctor the hotel tapes, but he kept a copy as insurance."I play the video, and we all watch as Natasha and I talk heatedly for a few minutes. After that, I down the rest of my drink and then she struggles to take me to the hotel room. I'm practically pass

Zach's PoV The wait is finally over, the gang and I are currently in Brookdale's lobby waiting on Detective Barnes. He called me thirty minutes ago, telling me to get here ASAP. Kyle glances at his phone for the umpteenth time, then shoves his hand into his pocket. "What's taking him so long?"He hisses loudly. Connor snickers, "Don't get your panties in a bunch now bro." Kyle glares at him then rolls his eyes. "The only thing I wonna twist is her hair around my hand while Laura here, whoops her ass." We chuckle at Kyle's uncouth behaviour while Laura throws air punches. "Damn straight, I'm gonna knock her ass out!" Moments later, Oraine enters and beckons for us to follow him. The four of us rush towards him like our lives depended on it. "It took some time but we finally did it." He gloats as he presses the call button for the elevator. I sigh, "I just want this to be over so I can put it all behind me." He nods in understanding, "No worries, we're one step closer today." Mom

Yana's PoVA gloomy feeling has been badgering me all evening, I'm seriously worried and uneasy. I've been trying to call Laura but her phone has been switched off for the past hour. I dial Alex's number and wait with bated breath for him to answer."Hey Aunty Yana, what's up?" He greets in a chirpy tone.I smile, "Hey bubba, how are you feeling today?" I ask, not wanting to alarm him with my suspicions.He scoffs, "I'm ready to go home now and I miss you too." My heart pangs with guilt, "I miss you too baby." I blow him a kiss. "Remember to stay positive, they said you may get to leave next week."Alex sighs, "Yeah I guess you're right." He adjusts himself in the bed, "What's up with you?"I take a deep breath, "I'm okay hun, but where's Laura, I can't seem to reach her." Alex averts his gaze instantly, rousing my suspicions even further. "What are you not telling me?"He pouts, "I'm not supposed to tell you. She made me promise." A conflicting expression becomes etched on his face.
