Chapter 136

Jasmine

"The war had ended, Romano. Nelson is now dead and we can start our new life together without worrying about enemies attacking us again. You, Clinton and I will be leaving as a happy family now." I said to him but he shook his head.

"I am dying, Jasmine. I could feel my life ending." Tears rolled down my eyes because of what he said.

"Please, Romano, stop saying that. I can't leave without you, please hold on. I will do my best to save your life…." Before I could finish my sentence, Romano already closed his eyes. My heart flees from its cage, I am not yet ready to lose him.

"Jasmine, we need to take him to the hospital. We will try our best to save him." Tim said as they helped carry Romano to the car. My friends were beside me, trying to comfort me.

We won the battle but Romano's life is in danger. I don't know how I am going to survive if he dies.

"He will be fine, Jasmine. Romano is an Alpha king and nothing will happen to him." Nina said just to comfort me.

"I just hope that he makes it. Losing him is what I can't accept. I can't live my life without him. All my loved ones had left me and I can't be able to handle the pain anymore if Romano would leave me again." I said to my friends.

"Let us just about the brighter side, Jasmine. He saved you, Romano risked his life to protect you." My gaze turned to Ciara because of what she said.

"That is the problem, Ciara. Romano is in danger just to save me. I should be the one in that situation now, I should be the one to die." I couldn't stop my tears again.

"Do you think that he will allow you to risk your life, Jasmine? What will happen to Clinton if you die?" Khloe said and I am trying to prevent myself from sniffing but I couldn't.

"I don't know how to explain to my son if something happens to his father. All I thought was that I could have a happy ending but it seems like I wasn't destined to that. Problems won't let go of me and I am tired of that." They hugged me tightly.

"Everything will be alright, Jasmine. We are here for you and we promise you that whatever happened, we will never allow you to be alone." My friends never give up on me. They were the only motivation I had to continue life even when it seemed hard.

We drove out of the battle scene and brought Romano to the hospital. The doctor started their treatment to revive his life back. We were outside the operating room waiting for the doctor to come out and tell us the good news. I will never give up, I kept my hopes alive that my husband will survive this. If he dies, part of me will die as well. He is the man I love and if ever he leaves this earth, I know he will be taking my heart with him.

"Jasmine." Kenneth called, which made me hug him. He was rubbing my back as I cried in his chest.

"I can't live without, Romano." He sighed.

"Let us pray that he survives, Jasmine. If he didn't exceed me earlier, I would be the one in this condition and you would never be this miserable if I was the one in his condition." His words made me let go of him. He was crying and I could feel his worries about Romano. Tim and Harry were also crying.

"Don't say that, Kenneth. Don't ever think that I won't cry if you are the one in that condition now. You are important to me because you are my best friend, Kenneth." He nodded.

"I know, Jasmine but I can't think that I should have been the one Nelson bit. My heart shattered seeing you cry in pain, Jasmine." Kenneth said to me.

"It is okay, Kenneth. Stop thinking like that and let us pray that Romano will come back to us." I said to him, l walked away from him when I saw the doctor open the operation room. My heart pounded inside my chest.

"How is my husband, doctor?" I asked him which made him let out a deep breath.

"Are the patient's wife?" He asked and I nodded.

"Yes, I am. Please tell me my husband's condition now." I responded.

"I am sorry, he didn't survive." I collapsed as soon as I heard those words from him.

My legs started to tremble, I wanted to scream in pain, I wanted to punch the wall but I couldn't because my mind had already turned to darkness.

"W…. what did you say, doctor?" I asked, trying to make sure that I wasn't hallucinating.

"Your husband is dead." He replied and tears started streaming down my eyes. Those words I heard from the doctor was like a bomb which exploded in front of me. It was like a knife which stabbed my heart countless times and my heart started spinning in pain.

"No, no, no, no! This is not true. My husband can't die, please don't say that to me!" I wanted to attack the doctor but Kenneth stopped me. He hugged me tightly and I cried in his chest.

"I am sorry, Jasmine. We failed to save him." Kenneth said but I was still crying. I couldn't digest the words I heard, it seemed hard to believe. My husband is still alive. Romano survived and I will never accept the fact that he gave up but it came from the doctor. Romano is dead and I was unable to handle this pain.

That one word and four letters, it is so easy to say but it carried a heavy load.

"We have to accept the fact that Romano is dead now. You need to stand on your feet because your son is still waiting for you." I shook my head at Nina's words.

"How can I raise Clinton if Romano is not beside me? How can we start our lives if I am all alone in this life? I want to die too because I can't live my life without the love of my life. Romano was my happiness and now that he is dead, I am also dead as well." I said to my friends.

"Stop saying that, Jasmine. Your son still needs you. He has lost his father, do you want him to be alone?" Khloe said, her words brought me back to my senses. My son is waiting for me but how can I explain to him that he can't see his father anymore? He is still very young to experience this.

I don't know how to start my life without Romano, without my Alpha king but my friends were right. My son is waiting for me and I can't leave him. Even though I am broken, I have to gather myself and start my life because my son needs me. I need to accept my fate of not having a happy ending in this life. Not everything in this life has a happy ending but regardless of what happened, I need to be strong for my son. Romano will forever remain in my heart. All our memories will be kept inside my heart until death do us part. I will see him again in the afterlife and I can't wait for that to happen.


******One years on*****

One year has already passed and all the things that happened in the past are still fresh in my mind. I was in the company waiting for Kenneth to pick me up. My son is already four years old, he is playing with Tim and Harry in their apartment.

"Ma'am Jasmine." I was brought back from my deep thoughts when I heard the voice of my secretary. I turned my gaze towards her and I couldn't stop to raise my brows. She was holding a bouquet of flowers.

"What do you want?" I asked her but she gave me the flowers instead. I took it from her, my brows furrowed as I read the note on it.

A smile curved into my lips as I was reading the note. It came from Kenneth and he said his birthday wishes to me. Yes, today is my birthday but it seems like just a normal day for me. I don't really celebrate my birthday but I appreciate Kenneth's efforts.

"Did you receive the flowers?" Kenneth asked and I nodded.

"Thank you very much, I really appreciate it. Come on, we should leave now." He nodded his head responding to me.

Kenneth had been the shoulder I leaned on but my treatment towards him is still the same. I still can't fall in love with him and I am so grateful that despite what happened in the past, he never left me alone.

"Are you excited, Jasmine?" He asked which made me turn towards him.

"Excited about what?" I asked in my curious tone, he chuckled instead.

"It us a surprise, you will know it later, Jasmine." He responded.

I could feel my heart pounding inside my chest and I can't wait to get home. We arrived home in just a few minutes, I was shocked to see everyone including Romano's friends, my friends, his Beta and his Delta. The most surprising of it all was a man that caught my attention.
