Chapter 123

"Don't tell me your name if you don't want to, I will find it out myself and everything about you, just don't forget this face and my name." He turn around when he heard the door open and the doctors step out of the surgery room.

"Doctor, what is the news?" Jimmy asked as he walked over to them in a hurry, Triffany gently stood up to hear the news, her fingers crossed, hoping that nothing happened to the lady, hoping that she is saved.

"Can I see you in my office for a moment?" The doctor asked and Jimmy look at Triffany who was standing far off with her hands clasped together.

"Yes, sure." The doctor walked away and Jimmy turned to Triffany. "You!" She look at him. "Make sure you stay right there and not run away." He told her and following the doctor.

Triffany sat down on the chair with hot tears flowing down her chin, her voice has been ringing in her pocket all this while and she knew who it might be.

She took it out and answered, putting it on her ear. "Hello Nick."

"Hey, where are you? You told us you will be here soon, your parents are worried, must you make people worry over you all the time, stop acting silly and get yourself here, the food is already getting cold, and I am hungry, I don't even know if you are a princess or queen to make us all wait up for you."

Nick said all this in one breath, he stopped when he heard the soft sobbing of Triffany, he knew something was not right, she would never be silent whenever he was blabbering things. "Hey Triffany, what is wrong?" He asked from the other side of the line.

"Nick, I have got myself in a huge mess." Triffany started crying as she pressed her lips together to suppress the tears.

"What huge mess?" Nick asked her.

Triffany head sound of footstep approaching her as she look at the person, it was Jimmy Billy coming over, he has that poker face and his hands were in his pocket, she quickly hung up and got up.

"I am sure you are curious on what happened to my fiancée." He exhaled softly. "Well I have a good news and a bad news, which one would you love to hear first?" He asked her and Triffany was silent.

"Well, everyone love good news, I will start with that." He bite his lower lips and smile, but something in his smile told her there was more to the bad news than the good news.

"She survived." He smiled but it didn't reach his eyes. "And she will be transferred to a bigger hospital in the state."

"That is a relief." He runs his hands through his hair when he saw Triffany breath a sign of relief.

He forcefully held her arms. "But..." Triffany looked up at him with a trembling gaze. "Will you call that a good news after hearing the bad news?" His question made her lips dry, she felt a thorn grow in her heart as she wait for him to continue.

"She is in coma and may never wake up." He told her and Triffany’s body felt weak as she was in a daze. "Now tell me, is that a relief!" He shouted and left her as she drops on the floor.

"You, what is your name?" He asked her again. "Answer!" He shouted.

"Triffany Joey." She muttered.

Jimmy Billy squat close to her. "Well, Triffany Joey, a life for a life, if the only person i have left in this world dies, if my fiancée dies, you Triffany will be mine, you, Triffany, I shall come back for you."

He held her arm again and she look up at him, her eyes blurred with tears. "I want you to promise me, promise me that all this will be fine, promise me that if anything happens to her, you, you will become mine."

Triffany look up to the stranger who was now in tears, she remembered the look on the ladies face as she choked in her own blood, she remembered the ring that was on her finger and now she realised that she must be the only person Jimmy have, what else does she have to say...

"Promise me!" He said out loud again.

"I promise."

Carlos stood by the French window in his office at the villa holding a glass of whisky, it was three in the morning and yet he haven't gone to bed.

He has been thinking, thinking of what next to do, it wasn't entirely Triffany’s fault, but she has taken the blame and now she felt guilty.

He rubs his hand on his forehead, how do he make her stop thinking that way, how would he make her focus on the baby and not Jimmy.

He sip his drink, he wonders what Gabby will say to him if she was here, Carlos put down the glass and started spacing around the office, this could help him think of something.

Ruining Jimmy's company wasn't the right thing to do, going to that length was not the right thing after he has lost who he counted as family.

Thinking on this Carlos halt and turn around looking at the his desk and the lamp stand on it, now he knows what to do.

Triffany had told him that Jimmy was back for her, and by coming back, it means that his fiancée was dead, also she said Jimmy told her that the lady was his only family.

Carlos walked over to the desk, he picked up his phone and dialed Garrett number. "Hello Garrett."

"Carlos, do you know what the time is?" Garrett said with a hoarse voice, perhaps just waking up from the sound of his ringing phone.

"I want you to look into something for me." Carlos say down and opened his desk drawer, bringing out a file.

"What is it?" Garrett asked from the other side of the line.

Carlos looked at the file that had once been given to him by Garrett. "Jimmy Billy." He raised the file up to his face to look at it closely. "I want you to look into his family members for me, I want to know all about who he is related to and if his parents are still alive."

"Carlos, could this be..."

"Yes, it could be a clue Garrett, to solve all this and end it all once and for all without getting anyone hurt." Carlos put down the file on the desk.

"Alright."

"Also, I need you to out the name of Jimmy Billy's fiancee of three years ago."

"He has a fiancée?" Garrett was surprised.

Carlos got up from his chair and walked over to the French window. "Yes, he has, Triffany have told me everything, just do what I ask you to do, please."

"Okay." Garrett knows well not to ask more questions, this was not the right time, and Carlos will let them know if they must. "You should get some sleep too."

"I will." With that Carlos disconnected, he closed his eyes, his other hand hold the space between his forehead, how will he end all this?

He exhaled softly and open his eyes, then he walked out of the office and back into the room, when he got there he saw Triffany struggling in her sleep and he ran over to her.

She was sweating and her brow was furrowed and she kept mumbling what he couldn't understand. "Triffany." He called her name and held her hands.

She was burning up and in tears too. "Triffany!" He got up to go call a doctor.

"Carlos." He heard his name and stopped, he turn around and look at Triffany whose eyes were still closed. "Carlos."

"Yes, am here Triffany, right here." He sat by her bed and held her hands again. "I am right here." He used his hand to brush her hair gently and she calms.

He raised her hand to his lips and kissed it as sadness filled his eyes, seeing her this way was more hurtful, he close his eyes, he hand still held up to his lips. "I am right here."
