Jack POV:
It's almost 6 hours, and I'm still looking at the red light. In these 6 hours, the fear of what if, something happened to her. What if... This what-if is killing me.
All this happened because of me. Why did I send her alone? Why didn't I take her to the office? Why I gave them a chance to hurt her and why I didn't reach her on time.
I still can't forget that scene where she was lying on the floor in her blood. Today, I am unable to fulfil my promise. Promise I made to her that every pain has to cross me to go to her. Everything has to face me first. But today I'm unable to protect her.
She is always there for me. She completes her promises. That day, she arrived on time before that girl could stab me. Then the whole week she took care of me. She made me a human from a lifeless body.
Where I used to kill every person. She did everything for me, even after how I behaved with her. The way I always did whatever I wanted. I caused her both mental and physical harm.
Thinking about all this, a tear fell from my eyes.
I don't deserve her. I don't deserve her, but...but she is only mine. I am never going to leave her.
She completely promises, and I know she will be alright.
I was in thought when the door of the operating theatre opened and the doctor came out.
"What happened, doctor? How is she? Tell me, if something happens to her, I will destroy this hospital. Tell me now!" I shouted in anger.
"Mr. Williams, please come down; you need to be strong to handle her, please." He said, But right now I'm anything but calm.
"WITH YOU TELL ME HOW IS SHE OR I SET THIS HOSPITAL ON FIRE?" I shouted at him, which made him step back.
"Sir... Please understand, this is serious," he said with seriousness.
Hearing this word, the fear took over me again.
"Operation is completed successfully, but we can't tell anything now. We have to keep her under observation after that. What is her condition?" He informed me.
"How much time??" I ask him.
"For 48 hours after that, we can tell her health." He said.
48 hours.
Just 48 hours.
But for me, it feels like a lifetime. Every passing second is slicing my soul like a razor. I nodded slowly, but inside, I was falling apart.
The doctor walked away, leaving me there, standing like a statue-broken, helpless, and consumed with guilt.
I looked through the small glass window of the ICU door. She was there, lying pale and still. Wires connected to her body, beeping machines monitoring every beat of her heart. The same heart that once beat for me with so much love... now fighting for itself.
I walked toward the door, pressing my forehead against the glass.
"Why didn't you fight for yourself this time, huh?" I whispered. "Why do you always fight for me, but not for yourself?"
Tears blurred my vision again, but I didn't wipe them. I let them fall. I deserved every drop of pain.
My phone rang, but I ignored it. I didn't care who it was. Nothing else matters right now. Just her.
I slowly sank to the floor, back against the wall outside her room. For the first time in years, I folded my hands together and looked up.
"God... I never prayed. Never believed. But if you exist... save her. Take everything from me, but don't take her. Please."
I stayed there-outside the ICU, unmoving. I didn't eat. I didn't drink. I just stared at the clock, watching the minutes crawl by.
Hour 3
A nurse came to check on me. She offered water. I shook my head.
Hour 6
The doctor walked past. I shot up, asking if there was any change. He shook his head.
"No movement yet. But we are doing our best," he said.
Your best?
I wanted to scream. But I didn't. I had to stay strong for her.
I walked back to the glass, staring in. "Come back to me," I whispered. "Please, just open your eyes once. I swear, I'll change. I'll fix everything. Just give me one chance."
Hour 12
"Sir, the doctor is calling you in the cabin." I was still looking at her through the window when the nurse informed me.
Like a lifeless body, I carry my body toward the cabin. I don't want to leave her like this.
"Tell him to come here. I'm not leaving her alone," I ordered her without removing my eyes from My Amore.
"But sir..." She tried to explain, but I didn't listen to her.
"Tell him to come here. If he wants to protect his job"
Hearing me, she nodded and went away. I was still standing. That's when I heard the voice of heels. I looked to that side and saw Jurey was coming toward me. Behind her, Adhiraj was coming. He was holding her purse.
"How is she? What did the doctor say? She is out of danger, right? She will be fine, right? Why are you not answering me? Tell me now." Saying this, she held my elbow and started shaking me.
Seeing this, Adhiraj came forward and held her in his arms.
"Gulabo, she will be fine. You don't need to take so much stress." Saying this, he hugged her tightly.
I give them a side-eye and again look at the glass window. Where my princess is sleeping.
"Mr. William, what did the doctor say?" This time, Adhiraj asked me, which was asking his fiancée. Yes, fiancé, this great thing happened when I don't remember. Both are a pain in my ass. Why can't they stand or sit silently without interrupting me? Am I rude? Yes, I am.
I was about to burst on them when the doctor came. Seeing this, Jurey went to him and started asking the same thing. I closed my eyes because my head was hurting from so much noise.
"Mr. William, please come with me. It's serious, and I can't discuss this here. Please understand." Hearing him, I sigh and nod. Because now my Amore is not alone, these two, Mr. and Miss Fiancée, are here, so I can go to his cabin.
I followed him to his cabin and sat on a chair before he could tell me. He sat in front of me and started talking.
"Sir, it's so serious. We did her other tests, and now the result has come in." As I heard him, I immediately sat straight and started looking into his soul. He gulped, looking into my eyes.
"What is the result?" I asked him.
"Sir, the result is YOUR WIFE CAN'T BE PREGNANT." As I heard these words, I felt like everything was destroyed.
What she...she can't...be. No, no, no, it's wrong. I looked at the doctor, and then he said
"I think the goons hit her stomach multiple times and with so much power. Because of this, her congenital pouch colon is destroyed. That's why there are rare chances that she will be pregnant. Even if she got pregnant, there are chances of miscarriage, or her life could be in danger too." Saying this, he stood from his chair and left the cabin. Leaving me in my pain.
The words kept echoing in my mind like a broken record.
"Your wife can't be pregnant."
Each word hit me like a bullet to the chest.
No... no, this can't be true. She always dreamt of becoming a mother. Of holding our child. Of having a small family with me.
And now-because of that dream is shattered.
I sat there in silence, unable to move. The air around me felt suffocating. My hands clenched into fists on my thighs, nails digging into my skin, but I didn't feel the pain. The only pain I could feel... was hers.
All those times she smiled, looking at baby clothes in malls. All those times she said,
"Jack, I want a girl with your eyes and my attitude."
I used to laugh. I used to tease her.
And now?
I've stolen that future from her.
Because of me. Because I wasn't there when she needed me. Because I sent her alone.
My vision blurred. I wiped my face, but the tears wouldn't stop. I didn't even realise when they started falling.
I stood up slowly, weak in my knees, and walked to her room. Where she was fighting for her life.
This all wouldn't have happened if I hadn't let her go alone.
It's my fault.
All my fault.
I was drowning in guilt, suffocating in regret. My heart was bleeding far before my skin ever did.
As I stood outside her room, consumed by the storm inside me, I didn't even realise when that trolley passed by me.
I didn't realise my hand moved on its own.
I didn't realise I picked up that sharp surgical knife.
Until it cuts deep.
A line of red opened across my palm, but I didn't flinch.
"Aaahhhhh!"
The nurse screamed behind me, panicking in her voice.
But her voice felt distant-like it was coming from another world.
I was stuck in mine. In this hell I created.
The blood dripped down my fingers, hitting the white floor, creating a small pool beneath me.
But I didn't care.
Pain?
What pain?
The real pain is watching her smile through her heartbreak...
...is knowing she still looks at me like I'm her world, even when I destroyed hers.
The real pain is hearing that she may never carry our child... and knowing it was because of me.
The staff rushed toward me, trying to snatch the knife away.
"Sir! Sir, please give it to us-you're bleeding!"
But I just looked at them, hollow.
"She's bleeding from inside... and I can't do anything."
They finally wrested the knife from my hand. The cut wasn't deep enough to kill-but enough to make a statement.
I sank to the ground, my back hitting the wall. My blood smeared across the tiles.
"She was the only good thing in my life..." I whispered. "And I broke her."
One of the nurses wrapped my hand tightly in gauze, murmuring something about first aid, but I wasn't listening.
My eyes were locked on her room's door.
I hurt her more than any goon ever could... not with fists, but with failure.
"Doctor, Doctor, she is waking up," I heard Jurey's voice. Hearing this, I didn't waste a second and ran toward her room. I saw her hand was moving. I went and sat beside her. Then I took her hand in my hands. Her whole hand was now covered in my blood.
The doctor was checking her. That's when she opened her eyes. Seeing this, I felt like my heart was beating again.
"Where am I?" She whispers.
"You are in the hospital, Mrs. Williams," the doctor said.
Hearing him calling her Mrs. Williams is doing something in my heart.
After they asked her.
"How are you feeling?"
"I'm fine," she answered and looked at me.
After that, they ask her name, her age, where she lives, and why she came to New York. Whose answer she gives properly.
"Mrs. Williams, do you remember who he is?" Hearing this question, I felt like my heart was getting heavy.
.

"J...Jack," she whispered, then smiled at me.. Hearing this, I can't tell you how much relief I'm feeling right now.
"Okay, you rest for now..." Saying this, they left. Jurey and Adhiraj also went outside, leaving us alone.
She was looking into my eyes, and I was looking into hers. It felt like everything was invisible for us. That's when she touched my face with her palm.
That's it.
I immediately stood and hugged her tightly, then started crying. Yes, crying...
"Jack...what happened?" She said and hugged me with her other arm.
I didn't answer her for anything because I was not in a state to talk.
"Don't...do this again...please. Do you know how much...I...I suffer?" I said with difficulty.
Third-person POV:
"How I almost thought you were going to leave me... If something had happened to you, then...then what about me?" He said, Then look at her eyes.
"Amore, I'm sorry that night I let you go alone. I...I sent you alone. That's why all this happened....I...I'm s...sorry." Tears were falling from his eyes. His body was shaking, and his eyes were so red because of so much crying.
Seeing this, Naina immediately hugged him tightly. Now he was also lying on the bed beside her.
"Shh... You don't have to say sorry. Why are you negatively taking all this? Think positive and see I'm alive now because of you. If you hadn't come on time, then there would be chances that I may de..." Naina was saying this when he pressed his palm on her mouth.
"Don't say that word, please," Jack said.
"Okay, but now calm down, and also don't you dare blame my Jack. I will not tolerate any kind of shit about my Jack, okay?" Naina said and smiled lightly.
Hearing her, a smile also came on Jack's face.
*What's this?" Naina said and took his palm.
"You hurt yourself??" She asked him, looking at the big cut in his palm.
Seeing this, Jack hid his face in her neck, like he was trying to avoid the topic.
"This is not going to work. Go and get treatment for this; otherwise, forget about talking to me." Saying this, she looks to the other side.
Seeing this, Jack sighed and carefully stood from the bed.
"Okay, I'm going to get treatment." Saying this, he looks at her again. Making her raise her eyebrow at him.
He again sighed and left the room.
Seeing Naina smile, but then her smile turns into a sad and painful one.
She was having problems talking and moving her hands. But she didn't want to make him sad. As he was, so she didn't show her pain on her face.
Then suddenly she clutched her stomach when she felt a sharp pain in her stomach. She grabs the pillow to bear the pain because she knows if she calls the doctor now, then Jack will also come running here. She wants him to get his treatment done first. Then she will tell the doctor.
Slowly, slowly her face started to become pale and red. Sweat covered her forehead and neck. Veins were visible on her hands as she was controlling herself to not shout.
Suddenly, the door opened, and a nurse came inside. When she saw her condition, she immediately ran toward her.
"Ma'am, please calm down. I'm doing something; please wait." Saying this, she was about to give her injection when Naina held her hand in the middle.
"What are you doing?" Naina asked in pain.
"I'm giving you anaesthesia, ma'am; it will help you." Saying this, she again tried to inject Naina, but Naina again held her hand.
"But...*gulp* but the doctor said there is no need for anaesthesia now... Then...then how are you giving me this? " Saying this, she tightened her hold on the nurse's hand.
Hearing her words, the nurse gulped, then she pushed Naina onto the bed and came over her. This time she was trying to give her an injection on the neck.
"Just wait for 5 minutes, and then you will be free from the pain for a lifetime." Saying this, she tried to inject her, but Naina was holding her hands.
The blood was coming from her IV drip. Pain was clearly visible on her face, but don't know from where she got this much power to fight.
The injection was just a little away from her neck when, don't know when, Naina raised her leg and kicked that nurse with all her energy.
The nurse was not ready for this, so she fell a little away from the bed. In this, the injection she was giving to Naina. Accidentally, she pressed the injection, and the liquid went into that nurse's mouth. That's why her face started to become blue.
Naina was taking deep breaths. The whole bed was covered in her blood. The pain was clearly visible on her face. After kicking the nurse, she felt like her body didn't have any energy.
The door of the room again opened, and this time Jack came inside. When he saw Naina's condition, he quickly ran toward her.
"Amore, what happened to you? DOCTOR, COME QUICKLY!" He shouts and holds her hand, which was bleeding.
"Amore, you are...you are okay, right?" Saying this, he started to wipe her face with his hand.
Naina, with her little straight finger raised, pointed toward the corner in the room.
Jack looked there and saw a nurse lying on the floor. Something white was coming from her mouth, and her body was turned blue.
Seeing this, Jack felt like his heart stopped beating. That means someone tried to...
In some time, the Doctor came, and Jack's guards too.
They immediately did Naina's treatment.
"Doctor, my Amore is not safe in this hospital. I want you to do her treatment at my house."
Jack ordered the doctor, who was now standing in front of him.
"But sir..." The doctor tried to explain. But does Jack listen to anyone? No, he only listens to Amore, and the world listens to Jack.
"My house is much, much safer for her than this hospital. and make all arrangements. I don't want a single mistake here... Otherwise, you know" Saying this, he went to Naina's ward.
The doctor was standing there and looking at Jack's back. Then he sighs and gives orders to his team to make arrangements.
When Jack came inside the room, he saw her. Who was smiling at him, hugging him, and scolding him? Now she was lying on the bed again, covered in wires and an oxygen mask.
He sat beside her and took her hand in his.
"Sometimes I feel so proud. Proud that I'm a man of a woman who doesn't need me to protect herself. Today you are in this condition, but still you fight. You don't know how much pride I'm feeling right now. My Amore is so strong that she doesn't need her Jack to protect herself." He said and put his head on their joined hands.
He was feeling so many things.
Like anger at himself that he again left her alone, which allowed the attacker to attack her.
Sadness that he again failed to protect her.
Happiness that she is safe now, and he will take her to their house.
Proud that he is a man of women who is this strong.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and after getting permission, Max came inside.
"Sir, everything is prepared." He informed.
"Hmm... Also, did you find anything with that nurse?" Jack asked while still looking at their joined hands.
"Yes, sir, we found a phone in her locker. Also, there was a transaction of a large amount in her account. We are now finding the person who sent her money," Max informed us.
"Hmmm...fine. Once my Amore is fully recovered. I will deal with every single person personally. Till then, you handle everything," Jack said. While saying this, his eyes became red.
Max nodded and left from there.
After coming outside the hospital, a guard came toward him and asked.
"Sir, how is the situation?"
"Nothing is alright; they made a big mistake. A very big mistake. Now there will be a war. The war of blood and death. And in this war, everyone will see that Jack Williams, whose name was enough to make anyone pee in their pants. Who was resting till now? But now they wake up the devil, and this is going to destroy everyone..."
EVERYONE.
