CHAPTER 14

Emerson POV
This is why she's not answering her phone. I thought to myself.

“Her friend, Venus is in the surgery sir.” Jayson said as we’re at the corner of the hospital looking from a distance.

“She looks like she's crashing into pieces anytime soon.” He added.

I didn't saw what Jayson did, he just left and when he came back, he's carrying four coffees. He gave me the other one and the other is for him.

“You're going to drink that all”? I asked confused.

“No sir, I bought it for you. I thought you would want to give coffee for them. It looks like they needed it.” He said as he gives me two more coffees.

Why I didn't think of that.

“You're right.” I said as he gives me a pen.


Love POV

“The surgery is successful but she's still unconscious.” the doctor said when he exit’s the door.

JC thanked her.

“You should go home and rest. I'll take it from here. Besides, you still have work to do.” he said, smiling. He really loves my friend.
“I'll see her first.” then I walk towards her ICU room.

There are lots of machines around her and I felt that my heart is aching the moment I saw her lying on that bed, sleeping. As I walk towards her, my tears starting to fall. I can't see my cheerful friend; she's covered with hose in her mouth, in her head, heart and hands.

“Wake up, you b*tch.” I hiccupped. “Don't you dare leave me here. We have lot of things to do and you still need to find me a guy like JC remember”? I wipe my tears. “You're strong and I know you can hear me so better wake up because if you don't, I'll come and find you there so I can drag you by myself.” I sighed. “Just..Just wake up please.” I pause. “I’ll be back later this evening.” I kiss her forehead carefully. By that, I left.

JC thanked me and I just nod. I have no energy left.

When I closed my door car, I put down the window for fresh air, and launch myself at the seat and drive fast. Why her? She has a perfect life before it happened. Perfect job, apartment, family and perfect boyfriend. I don't know where to go, but I just keep on driving until I saw a beach. I went down and walk towards the water. I launch myself on the sand.

It's like I was left alone in a dark place with predators and where I don't know whom I trust. It's just me, myself and I.

I don't know what happened but the next thing I knew, my head hurts. I touch it and try to massage it, but it keeps on throbbing and darkness comes through me and I can't see anything.

I heard a scream from a man I think he's asking me to wake up. I am awake, I just can see darkness. I try to move my hands but it's like it's frozen.

I know I was lifted and then I feel numb.


Emerson POV

She's hurt too much.

I saw her exiting her car and running towards the beach. But not like the last time we went to my restaurant. Her eyes are full of tears, full of sadness.

She cries really hard. I was trying to go to her but Jayson stopped me.

“She need some time alone, Sir. I think.” I sigh. He's right anyway.

I see her looking at the sky and then she fell. That alerts me. I ran to her, scream her name but I got no response.

“She passed out!” I shouted. Then I heard Jayson starts the ignition why I am holding her. I put her on my lap and held her when I checked her pulse and it’s beating. I lift her up and ran to my car.

I didn't put her down, I still hold her on the seat.

“Love, please wake up.” I mumbled. I got nothing.

“Are we not there yet”? I ask Jayson, sounding panic, I know.

He glances at his mirror to see me. “Almost there.”

I fished out my phone and call the hospital so that they'll be waiting for us.
Jayson stop at the emergency area and shout something like I need stretcher.

When I got out of the car, I transfer her immediately on the stretcher and ran along side with the nurses.

“How long has she been passed out.” the nurse asks.

I look at my wrist watch. “About... ten to fifteen minutes. I'm really not sure.” I said, praying for her to be okay. The worst-case scenario is she has cancer too and that's why she became close with Venus? Because they're alike? Stop it! That's not true.

The nurse asked my name and rely it to the doctor and came back at me.

She eyed me up and down. “Are you her brother or a family member sir”? she asked me. Do I look old to be her brother?

“I'm her husband.” I stated. It feels surreal calling me as husband. She might get mad at me when she wakes up.

The nurse's face was so shocked at my statement. She must have thought that I'm still single. Well, that's maybe true but still not available.

I raised my eyebrows and she blushes.

She immediately turns her back and went to a room.

I sat on the waiting area not knowing what to do. I fished out my phone and browse my contact list until I saw Jem Hanks' name and I press it and call him.

He answers it on the third ring.

“It should be between life and death for you to call me this early.” He said groaning. He sounds asleep.

“I am with Love Guildings, she passed out. We're in the hospital.” I said.

“Is she passed out because of you”? I heard him stand up in his bed and walk, no like running actually.

“Not me.”

“I'm on my way.”

He ended up the call.
I glance at my watch and I swear, it's the longest 30 minutes of my life. The doctor examined her with several tests.

A man who’s still in his sweatpants and a shirt stood there next to me. He sat down.

“What happened”?

When I look up I saw Jem then he sit’s down.

I sigh and decided to tell him the truth. He's my best friend anyways.

“I'll start from the very beginning.” I said and he look taken a back but nod.

“I saw her one time in a coffee shop crying on one corner. Her brown eyes captivated me and I don't how but the next thing I did, I told Jayson to have a background check on her. You know the drill.” I paused and look at him.

“Go on.” he said.
“I found out that she was cheated by her boyfriend, Sebastian Noris with her cousin Megan. I saw her again on the coffee shop with bitterness and anger on her face when she was talking to Megan the day after she found out the cheating.” I explained, drinking my coffee.

“Then I told Taylor to tail her and take pictures so --” I stopped when he interrupted me.

“What! Did y--” this time I stop him.

“Not when she's at home.” he sighs.

“I was there at one corner of the church when she's talking in her sister's Necro logical service. I saw how she have gone wild in the club because of her problems. I literally blocked every guy that were about to approach her when she was dancing. Some succeeded because she was the one who invited them.” I paused to breath.

“She approached me one time and flirt with me. She asked for my number and leave. I took her to dinner and see her carefree. Then after she went to her friend Venus who has brain tumor, she went to her car and sped off like a racer. Went to the beach, I just watch her cry and she fell that's why we're here.”

Jem looked at me in awe. “That's one hell of a revelation.” he shakes his head and I just shrugged.

The doctor approached us and we stand up. “Mr. Triumph your wife is safe and there's nothing to worry about but I might say that she's in a very depression stage for her to result to this. She's awake now, you can now go and talk to her.”

Jem and I both sigh. “Thank you.” we shook her hand and she left.
We walk towards the room when Jem looked at me. “Your wife, huh”? he smirks.

“Doctors won't say anything if I say I'm her friend or something.

We open her door and we both greeted with her smile. She's with a nurse.
“Hello, husband.” she smirks, Jem chuckled, me? I grin.
