Two months later~
Ashley’s POV-
Two months! It has been two month since the day Xander got shot. Rick was able to send help to us quickly so Xander was saved but he fell into a coma. The doctor said that the bullet missed his heart by just a fraction. I don’t even know what to think of what would have happened if Xander had died.
Every day, I stay all day with Xander praying and hoping that he would wake up but he never did.
“Please wake up! I need you! Our baby needs you too!.” I whispered into Xander’s ear.
Yesterday, I fainted and when the doctor conducted a test on me, it was found that I am two months pregnant! I cried for an hour when the doctor informed me about that. I am happy that we are finally going to become parents. I just hope that he wakes up soon.
“Ashely sorry for interrupting you!.” Rick who just entered the room said. Rick has been handling the mafia organizing for the last two months while Xander’s father handles their legal business. We didn’t want to drag the media attention on the news and so Xander’s father announced in a press conference that Xander and I went for our honeymoon. Only close family and associates know that Xander is in the hospital.
“It’s fine. What is it Rick?” I asked him.
“I just want to inform you that we have finally captured Xavier!”. Rick uttered.
Xavier! That is the name of the man who shot Xander. He is Xavier's rival both in business and in the underworld.
A month ago we made an ambush attack on his organization but he managed to escape.
“Very good! Where is he?”. I asked
“In the dungeon!”.
“Let’s go and pay him a visit! I will be back in love!” I whispered the last part into Xander's ear.
I stood up and followed Rick out of the hospital room.
“You are leaving?.” Lisa asked me when we met in the hallway.
“Yes Lisa, we will be back soon!.” I said and we walked out of the hospital.
We drove back to the mafia’s mansion.
"Are you ready?" Rick asked, offering me a hand to help me out of the car. I gratefully took it. I stood up and straightened out my dress, giving him a thankful smile that he half-heartedly returned.
We were both trying so hard to stay strong.
"I've never been more ready." I said, nodding my head and putting my game face on. My blood was hot with a fierce anger but my heart, my heart was completely shattered into a million remains.
It consumed me so much that I would find it hard to sleep, hard to eat...hard to exist.
"Come on, you can do this." Rick said, his voice hard with a newfound strength. I Swallowed hard, following him into the house and down into the secluded basement. At the closed metal door, I squeezed my fists closed trying to stop them from shaking.
"Here." Rick muttered, handing me one of the guns. "I'll be right behind you.
I took the gun even though I doubt I will be needing it. Killing him with a gun will be too easy. I want him to suffer first. I want him to feel the pain that we all have been feeling for the last two months.
I want it that my the time we are done torturing him, he will be begging for death by himself. For the past two months, I have been learning of the best way to torture a man and I happy to say that I have found enough information about it.
Rick effortlessly twirled his knife around his fingers, a blood-seeking vengeance taking over the both of us. When he opened the door, that feeling heightened to the greatest lengths and I grit my molars together.
Xavier was in the middle of the room, his wrists bound by a chain hanging from the ceiling as he balanced on the tips of his toes.
The sight should have had me grimacing, but a sadistic smirk made its way to my lips instead.
He lifted his head when he heard us entering, a patronizing but tired smile on his chapped lips. He had been dangling like that for at least two months and it was finally time for me to settle my scores.
“Well well well! Who do we have here? If it isn’t Xander little hoe. I heard he paid a million for you. Damn you must be really good in bed then. Why don’t you come here and give me a kiss?”. Xavier pouted his lips. I don’t know if he is trying to be cute or what but I found his behavior irritating.
I ignored him and went over to the table and dropped the gun. I put on the surgical gloves on my hand and picked up a pillar and a hammer and walked to him like a woman on a mission.
Xavier burst into laughter; “ look at you. What do you think of as a mafia queen now? Why don’t you leave the torturing for men and come here and do what you woman are good at. Come suck on my crot*h”. He smirked at me.
Since his hands were tied to the chair and there was no way he could move, I used the hammer and broke all the bones of his left hand fingers. Xavier screamed in agony making me and Rick to smile.
“Didn’t your mother teach you how to treat girls right?.” I asked him as I used the plier to massage his broken bones.
“O my mama taught me that the only thing girls are use for us fu*king! And I use her advice quite well!.” Xavier muttered. He is trying his best to act as if he isn’t in pain. I wonder how much longer he can hold it.
“Well then, I hope this teaches you how to treat them right then!”. I said and hit his right hand fingers hard until all the bones broke.
At this point Xavier could not hold it anymore. He hung his head backwards and cried out in pain.
“J-Just kill me already!….” Xavier breathlessly moans out. It is my turn to laugh now.
“We are not planning to kill you any time soon. This is just the beginning.
“You bit*h! I don’t think you have a backbone to do this!”. Xavier spat out.
“Did you forget your place? You are just … I didn’t allow him to finish saying what he wished to say. I use the plier and catch his crot*h with it.
“.,..ahhhhh!” Xavier screamed as tears rolled down his eyes.
“Wow! Did the hoe just make you cry out?”. I ask him as I apply force on the plier. Xavier cried out.
“P-please!”. He pleaded, putting a smile on my face. He is exactly where I wanted him to be.
After screaming for some minutes, he fainted. I dropped the hammer and removed the gloves.
“Tell the boys that they can have their fun with him but they should make sure he doesn’t die just yet!”. I instructed Rick and he nodded his head.
Immediately we went out of the basement, Rick got a call and so I paused walking.
“It’s Claire!”. Rick said when he finished answering the call. My heart picked up when I heard that. The call must be about Xander.
“What is she saying?”. I anxiously asked.
“Xander!” Rick said, making my heart beat irregularly. I just hope nothing bad happens to him.
“Xander is awake and is asking about you!”. Rick drop the bomb with a smile on his face.
“Really? Let’s go then” I said and without waiting for Rick, I rushed out of the house.
Tears of joy were pouring down from my eyes.
As soon as we reached the hospital, I didn’t wait for Rick to park the car. I jumped out of the car and ran into the building.
When I reached his room, a lot of people were there but I didn’t focus my attention on them but rather on Xander.
Immediately he saw me, he smiled and opened his arms for me. I rushed to him and hugged him tight and burst into fresh tears.
Xander hugged me back and kept whispering sweet nothing into my ears until I calmed down.
“Don’t ever scare me like this!”. I said as I left him.
“I won’t!” He smiled at me.
I filled him in about all that happened in the past two months he was in coma. All except the fact that I am pregnant. I don’t know how he will take the news.
“I have something to tell you!”. I nervously said.
“Yes I am listening!”. Xander smiled at me.
“I am pregnant!”. I murmured in a whisper with my finger crossed.
Xander used his hands and held my face up to look at him. He placed his lips on mine and gave me a brief kiss.
“That means you are not angry?”. I asked him.
“Why should I be? I am a good father to all, thank you !” Xander happily declared.
I let out the breath I didn’t know I was holding.
“Wait, did you think I would be angry? I love you and I am happy that you will be the mother of my children. I want to start a family with you and no one else!”. Xander confessed, making him smile at him.
“I love you too!”
At first I might be sad that my parents sold me but it all turned out to be good for me. I am away from my abusive parents, I now have a loving husband and amazing in-laws. Moreover, I am expecting my first child. I could not ask for more in life than this.
I thought I finally got my happy ending but little did I know that a new drama is about to start.
