Chapter 021
Akira's POV
"No oh..." I screamed wanting to push Wolfie from my side and shade the knife that Ethan was holding, he was aiming at Wolfie, and he charged at Wolfie. Wolfie turned almost immediately and the knife went into his side stomach.
His blood spouted, and the whole place was color red, I stood there confused, I felt like I was some bad omen, that whoever came near me get a share of my curse.
Even after Ethan had stabbed him, he was still bent on pushing the knife into any available part of Wolfie's body again, this time, Wolfie was aware of his move, and he kicked him, causing the knife to fall off his hand. He threw punches at his face, and Ethan staggered, he wasn't even drunk but he was acting like a drunk fellow. His strength was no match for Wolfie.
I stood there, watching Wolfie send punches to his face, before the security rushed to us, and pulled Ethan away, when he turned to me, he saw my face was clouded with terror even though I wasn't the one hurt but I was looking more dejected than the hurt one. "Are you..." He was about to ask if I was fine when my voice interrupted him.
"Wait here, I will get help," I said as his blood kept spouting out profusely, he was bleeding badly. Instead of worrying about himself, he was worried about me. For a second my brain wasn't working well, I didn't know what to do, I just grabbed my hair tie and soaked the blood. "You should press this to it, while I get the security to help us." I rushed to security to help me take him to the hospital, when we finally got to the hospital, he was already unconscious, he had lost too much blood, and the last thing, he did before he passed out, was to give me his mask, although he didn't say a word, I knew he wanted me to cover his face.
He was taken straight to the emergency room immediately we got to the hospital, I was rushing towards the room, "I am sorry missed you can't come in." One of the nurses stopped me, and I stood there, blaming myself for what happened. It's a good thing the operation was successful, the place had been stitched and he is still unconscious, probably as a result of the anesthesia, given to him
I grabbed my phone, I needed to call someone because I was losing my sanity, what if something happened to him? I thought of calling Meredith but do not have his contact, so I called Vida but her number didn't go through. "Fuck..." As the world seems to be on my shoulder. He was moved to the ward after the operation.
I hurried to him after the nurses and doctor left. Guilt, was all I felt, if I hadn't gotten involved with Ethan, nothing would have happened. Wolfie will still be healthy and probably kissing his fiancee. I frown at the last part of my words, I subconsciously move my gaze to his lips, the mask I wore covered his eyes but not his mouth.
'His lips are pretty.' I murmured. 'stop it Akira, it's bad enough that you put him in this condition and now you are having dirty thoughts about him.' I scolded myself inwardly as more tears drop my eyes.
I sat in that position for hours, hoping that he would wake up, my tears kept coming like the wave of the sea, and I ended up sleeping on the chair with my head on his bed and my hand grabbed his.
The sound of heels woke me from my sleep before I could register what was happening around me, a pair of hands ended up on my face, "What the heck did you do to my fiance?" Is Katerina, and Meredith.
I shut my eyes, it's all my fault, I deserve it. I muster the courage to relate what happened. "I am sorry, it happens because of me. It's my ex-boyfriend that attacked me and he was only defending me. He was there to protect me but I put him in danger, I apologized, I am sorry I could not protect your fiance. If I had the power to turn the hands of time, I would have done better."
"And you think your worthless tears would make up for it?" She pushed my shoulder harder as I staggered backward, I wasn't expecting that.
"I am sorry..." I murmured as my knees buckled and pleaded.
Katerina, Wolfie's fiancée, glared at me, her eyes blazing with anger and accusation. "I hate to hear an apology, you should know that, you shouldn't have let it happen in the first place, you should have let that stupid boyfriend of yours kill you, instead of my fiance and you have the guts to show your face here." she spat, her voice dripping with contempt.
My eyes widened in shock at the venom in Katerina's tone. "I swear, lady Katerina, I didn't mean for any of this to happen," I pleaded, my voice trembling with emotion. "I would never do anything to hurt Sir. Wolfie."
But Katerina's face suddenly darkened, "it's you, that girl from yesterday that was trying to seduce my fiance?" I shake my head,
"I wasn't doing that, I was only..." She raised her hand stopping me from explaining myself, her expression remained cold and unforgiving. "Save your excuses, Ms. Whatever. First, it's you wanting to seduce him and next, you put my fiancee's life in danger, and now he's battling for his life," she accused me, her words are like a knife to stab my heart. I know I am guilty but I don't think I deserve this outburst.
Tears welled up in my eyes as I struggled to find the right words to defend myself. What is there to defend, it's all my fault. I had never intended for the knife to go to him.
"I didn't see that coming until it was too late," I choked out, my voice barely audible over the sound of my sobs. "I never meant to hurt him."
The more I apologized the more she got irritated and her gaze remained icy and unforgiving as she stepped closer to me, her voice filled with resentment. "You should have been the one stabbed not him, I don't care if you died." she scolded, her words were harsh. "Now my baby is lying in that hospital bed because of your stupidity and your poor choice of boys."
My legs felt like jelly beneath me as I struggled to stand. I wanted to keep apologizing and explain myself if that would make Katerina understand that it was an accident, but the words caught in my throat, there is no need, she will never understand, and I don't blame her if I were in her shoes I will do the same, my life is not even worth half of Wolfie's life.
Katerina continued to berate me, while my mind couldn't rest, it raced with memories of the moment Ethan stabbed him because of me. I raked my brain to search for possible means that I could have prevented the accident, but all I found was a gnawing sense of helplessness and despair.
"I'm sorry," I whispered, my voice barely audible over the sound of my broken heart. "I'm so sorry."
Her expression remained cold and unyielding as she turned away from me, her gaze fixed on the bed where Wolfie was lying fighting for his life. "I don't want to hear your apologies," she declared firmly, her voice laced with contempt. "Just stay away from us, get out, I don't want to ever see your face, get lost." She screamed pointing at the door. "Get out..."
