Don't give up

As the ambulance sped through the streets, sirens blaring, I felt my heart tearing apart. I couldn't lose her. Not now. Not ever. I just got her back. Losing her wasn't an option, not at all. I wasn't ready for it. And most importantly, I wasn't ready to face our kids.What will I tell them when they ask what happened to their mum? How would I have them know someone shot her on her way to the venue? Was I too demanding when I asked her to come over? Would it have been better if I urged her to stay back? She would have been safe, I know that.“Nova, please hang on,” I whispered, my voice cracking. “I love you. Don't leave me.”The nurses worked to stabilize her, but I barely registered their efforts. All I could focus on was Nova's pale face, her closed eyes, not aware of what was going on around her. We arrived at the hospital, and the paramedics rushed to unload Nova. I followed, still grasping her hand, as they wheeled her towards the operating room. But just as we reached the door

Ask your wife about it

“Where are you, Dashiell?” My mother asked the moment she answered the call. It was as if she were waiting for my call, expecting it even. “Why didn't you show up at the venue? Do you know how worried I was? How much I tried to get in contact with you?!” she yelled out. "How could you act so childishly? Aren't you afraid of the tabloid and the story they will make up with your disappearance??" I pinched the bridge of my nose, inhaling deeply before I responded, “Something came up.” I didn't say more because I knew she wouldn't understand. Not only that, but she wouldn't be pleased if I left the company because of Nova. She wouldn't even care to know my wife was hospitalised.“Something came up?” She sounded sceptical. “What the hell is so important that you will neglect something like this for? Are you out of your senses?”“I just called because I know you will try my line. If you will be as unreasonable as you are now, I will have to tell you to forget about it.”I wasn't in the moo

Why didn't you tell me she's in danger?

“Huh?” I was too shocked to comprehend what just happened… Somehow, Nova might have met my mum, but what of the auction? Why would she sound so hostile when I only asked her about the auction? Could Nova have met her during it??? It seemed like —I froze when a certain thought filtered through my mind. What if Nova went to the auction? That would explain the huge amount of money she spent. Was she there because of my mum? Was that why she asked if I sent my wife over to counter her every move? Was she the one who got the prized item my mother wanted?A chuckle escaped my lips at that thought, and I had to cover my mouth when I received a glare from the man next to me, who was looking at me as if I were a pervert. He shuffled far from me, giving me a stern glare.“Sorry.” Apologizing, I turned and left the restroom, walking over to Nova's private room. A few nurses I met in my way nodded at me with a smile, which I reciprocated, something that wouldn't have been possible had it been th

She's awake

“She was shot,” I told him, realizing I wouldn't be able to keep something like this from him for a long time. Not only that, I could tell Nova wouldn't be pleased to hear I kept this from him. She would want him to know seeing how close they were. So close, it made me angry each time I thought about it.“Shot?!” He screamed from the other end, his voice almost deafening. “When did that happen? Where is she? Did you find the one who hurt her? Where is the bastard??"“If I did know that, do you think I would be here listening to you?” I scoffed at that, crossing my legs as my gaze returned to the door. I saw three doctors enter the room Nova was lying in, but I didn't move towards them because of the call I was having. “Where are you guys? Is she in the hospital? Which one?” “I don't —”“Mr Dashiell, your wife has woken up!” The nurse who was in charge of watching her said, rushing out of the room with a cheerful expression on her face. She was barely keeping the smile off her face.

Teasing him

NOVAIt hurts, so bad I wished to lie back on the bed and give in to the pain. I wanted to sleep, to act lazy for once because I was sick, but I didn't do that. I had never been one to act lazy. Dashiell kept on doting on me, almost like a mother hen. Each time I turned, he would provide whatever he felt I needed at the moment. It became so much that I had to demand he leave me for a minute.“Nova?” He poked his head into the room, grinning. “Are you hungry? I got soup for you.” He fully stepped into the room, smiling sheepishly as he raised the food flask. “It's hot and —”“I'm still full,” I groaned, glaring at him. “Do you want to complete what the man didn't, by killing me with food?” It had reached the point of asking this. Having him dote on me at every turn made it seem like he wanted to smoulder me with kindness and attention.Blushing sheepishly, he stepped towards me and placed the food flask on the table. “Do you want to sit up? The doctors said you need to exercise. Not

I'm concerned about you

“And you didn't tell me?” I glared, taking more spoonfuls of the soup because why not? I couldn't take my anger out on the poor soup just because he made me feel that way. “What did he tell you?” I pressed when he didn't respond to my initial question. He didn't seem like he wanted to do that. “Dashiell?”“Why didn't you tell me your car was tampered with? Would you have kept it from me had this thing not happened?” Though his tone was low, I could feel the hint of anger as he stared at me, his eyes narrowed. His question stunned me. It was the last thing I thought I would hear from him. Gulping, I asked instead, “How did you know?” “Brion informed me,” he responded, rubbing it on my face that my friend told me when I was trying to keep it a secret from him. “But that's none of my concern at the moment. I just want to know why you thought to keep this from me. I realize you don't trust me as much as I hope you will, and you are only doing this for the children, but I hope you will a

Do you still love him??

“I will be right back.” Before I could stop him, he was already at the door, slipping out before I could say another word. It was obvious from how he acted that he was running from me. But why?How could someone act as strange as he did after the argument we just had? It made little sense to me. Not only that, but it felt odd. Having someone who always fawned over me acting strange, felt so strange. I didn't like that feeling at all.Dashiell didn't return until an hour later. I know because of the small clock on the wall. He had it installed, so I could be able to tell the time with it. “Here.” He passed a phone to me. “My secretary brought this a few minutes ago. The numbers in your old SIM are in there. You can call whoever you want.” He turned and walked to the bench next to the door, and plopped down on it, stunning me. I figured he would sit on the chair next to the bed like he had always done, but he surprised me by keeping the distance between us. “Thanks.” I smiled at him,

A family heirloom

For the first time, I didn't answer it as fast as I would have. I actually thought about the question and mulled over it before letting out a sigh. “I know you don't support my plans, and you assume I'm wasting my time by doing this, but I hope you will understand me someday,” I said, going around his question because I couldn't think of what to give in response. It was a hard question. Before I got to know a side of him he kept hidden while we were married, I would have easily said I hated him, but I don't feel that way anymore. I don't like him, mind you, but I don't hate him. All I wanted at the moment was to make him feel my pain, whatever feeling you would call this. Revenge? This came close. It just wasn't hatred. “Nova, I don't —” “Call me when the kids return from school.” I disconnected immediately and switched my phone off, placing it on the cupboard next to my bed. Sighing, I covered my face with my palms, trying not to grit hard on my teeth as I did so. What was wron

Another attempt on her life

“Good afternoon, Mrs James,” he greeted in a husky voice, approaching me. The nearer he got, the more I felt like I had met him somewhere, but I couldn't, for the life of me, recall where that was. His eyes and face were oddly familiar, even though he had a mask on half of his face. Forcing a smile as I tried not to think of the strange thoughts going through my head at the moment, I sat up on the bed. “I'm good. Just feeling a little dizzy,” I responded truthfully, even though my mind asked me to run, to get as far away from him as I could. I frowned, wondering why I felt that way with a man who was obviously a doctor. Otherwise, he wouldn't be dressed as one, carrying a tab. “That's good to hear.” He ran his hand through his unusually long blonde hair. “We will have to take care of the dizzy aspect, though. As you are about to be discharged, we can't have any complications.” He dropped the tab on my cupboard and turned to look at me. “Where did your husband go? Why isn't he he

Another plot

LILITH I stormed into the dimly lit room, my eyes blazing with fury. The two men I hired to eliminate Nova cowered before me. They knew I was pissed at them. “You failed me,” I spat, my voice venomous. “Twice.” Jake, a blonde burly man with an ugly scar across his face, shifted uncomfortably. “We did what you ordered, ma'am. We tampered with her car.” “But she survived,” I snarled, my fingers drumming against the table. “How can you claim to do what I asked when you left a piece of evidence to make her suspect?! You were careless!” Max, the second man, spoke up. “And the second time, we tried to run her off the road.” I glared at them. “But she's still alive!” I repeated. “You are just a failure! Investing in you is nothing, but a damned mistake! Why did I even listen to Andrea when she suggested hiring you?” I paced around the room, my heels clicking on the floor. I'd waited extremely long for him. Too long. And she'd been in the way for far too long. I needed to get Nova ou
