DanaI woke up for the doctors to run tests on me. The doctors were doing a thousand tests, which seemed unnecessary since they still hadn't found an answer. I knew this would mean more days in the hospital, but at any moment I was going to take my things and leave without permission.Jeremy arrived in my room shortly after they brought me back. He walked towards me with a smile and kissed me. Jeremy no longer had his messy hair or stubble on his cheeks. He looked like the Jeremy I remembered before I fell into a deep sleep.“Where were you?” I asked. “I thought you’d be here when they finished running tests on me.”“I went to have breakfast in the cafeteria, darling,” he explained. “I was with Demian.”“Demian is here?”“Yes, he's been here since early.”I didn't know if I was ready to see him again. Demian made my breathing short after so many months. His presence intimidated me and disrupted my behavior. Jeremy had something strange in his eyes, but I didn't want to ask. I wasn’t w
Demian"Don't worry, I'll be fine, Demian," said Rachel, touching her belly.No, she wasn't going to be fine. Rachel was so excited about having another child with me because she couldn't share her first pregnancy with me. It was special for her that we were expecting a child together. I feared she would become depressed. I've seen how different Rachel is compared to months ago. Since we've had so many problems because of Dana, her face has changed. She looked nervous all the time and on the verge of breaking down. A blow like this would completely devastate her. I never knew I would have to deliver such hard news to anyone."Rachel, we need to talk, honey," I said with a grimace.Tears immediately came to my eyes. I wanted to be strong so they wouldn't fall, but I couldn't hold them back. It hurt so much. I always wanted to be a father, and life rewarded me with a beautiful three-year-old boy. I felt blessed to learn another one was on the way, but I've lost him, and I can't stop fee
DanaI had to force Jeremy to go home and rest. My mother was going to stay with me again since Jeremy had been with me for months without returning home. Jeremy reluctantly agreed to leave. He gave me a kiss and left.Mom hadn't arrived yet. She sent me a text apologizing for the delay because the traffic was crazy today. I asked the nurse if I could take a walk around the hospital to avoid going stir-crazy. I needed to see something different. The room made me feel suffocated. They let me walk, but only if I used a wheelchair. My doctors were overprotective because of the pregnancy, but after what happened to Rachel, I wasn't going to take any risks.I moved the wheelchair to get around. The night fell quickly. Demian hadn't come to see me since this morning. We hadn't heard anything more about him except that Jeremy saw him in the men's bathroom, and he didn't look well. But they didn't talk, and Jeremy preferred not to ask him anything. Demian didn't seem friendly. I wondered what
DemianDana was kind to me and listened to me talk for almost an hour. I didn’t want to break down in tears in front of her, but I couldn’t hold back. In any case, I was glad I had cried in front of her and not someone else. Dana knew what words to use to soften my heart, and her touch on my hair drove me crazy. I felt like I was in the right place. I believe it wasn’t a coincidence that we met on the balcony. I didn’t think I would open up so much to her, but when it came to Dana, everything was uncertain. She and my children were everything to me. I wish I could tell her what I feel for her.But her mother interrupted us and opened the door to the room. She froze when she saw us together. Dana was still hugging me but slowly let go due to the discomfort. Her mother didn’t comment, but I know she didn’t like seeing us together. I’m sure she noticed my tired face.“Hello, Mom,” Dana greeted.I straightened up, quickly wiped my tears, and got off the bed. It was time to leave. Rachel w
DanaRage consumed me. Thinking about that woman made my skin crawl.I thought she would stop. I believed her madness would pause after what happened to her child, but I think I was wrong. Rachel has attacked again now that she knows I’ve woken up. Jeremy told me that Rachel and Demian were having marital problems because Demian loved me. That’s reason enough for her to want to ruin my life. She has made it clear in the past. She would show no mercy and make my life hell until she killed me, but I didn’t think she would go after Jeremy. He had nothing to do with what happened between Demian and me. If Demian loved me and not her, Rachel had to sort it out with Demian, not with my husband.I can’t find any other logical explanation. It wasn’t my kidnappers because they got what they wanted. Or did they come back for more? No. Rachel had to be responsible for this. Something in my gut told me so. An internal fire made me want to scream. Demian’s face expressed so much confusion, and I w
DanaOfficer Peter told me they would take my statement when other officers arrived at the hospital. Demian was being interrogated in a hospital room for comfort and to avoid fights with me. He was probably defending his wife tooth and nail against my accusations. But I wasn't going to stop until I saw her behind bars for what she did to Jeremy.It hurt to think that Demian believed I was going crazy. I knew my accusations didn't make sense, but they didn't make sense to him. Demian was blind. He saw what he wanted to see. And I wouldn't forgive him for humiliating me in front of the officers, making them think I was crazy.An officer came into my room to take my statement. I was nervous about speaking, but I made sure fear didn't stop me. I was tired of living under Rachel's threats, so it was time to lay the cards on the table. However, it was too risky. My statement didn't mean she would be imprisoned soon, and that made me Rachel's target. I didn't even want to imagine what would
"Why do you think Dana is accusing your wife, sir?"If there's anything that pains me in this world, it's Dana attacking Rachel after the loss we've endured. It seemed like Dana had lost her heart during her coma. I don't know what she's trying to achieve with this. Her desire for revenge against Rachel persists. I believe Dana wants to make Rachel's life miserable, as she's made it clear she intends to imprison her.Dana doesn't realize that she can ruin Rachel's life, but I'm here to prevent that. I had a bad taste in my mouth after the argument we had in front of the police. They interviewed us in different locations, and soon they would be seeing Rachel for her statement. I feared Rachel's spirits would drop when the police interviewed her. This was unfair to her. She had just mustered the strength to get out of bed and carry on with her life."Dana is obsessed with my wife. I believe some enemy of Jeremy attacked him, but my wife has nothing to do with it. We just suffered the lo
DemianI drove home to talk to Rachel. I had no idea if the police had already been to the house to talk to her, but I wanted to make sure I was the first to tell Rachel what was going on. I knew Rachel would hate Dana when she found out what she had done. I feared the accusation would hurt her so much that Rachel would become deeply depressed.I arrived home, and she greeted me with open arms. She wasn't expecting me home so soon.“Is everything all right?” She stroked my face. “You look worried, Demian. Has something happened?”I took her by the waist and pulled her close to me.“What’s going on?” she asked.“I’m sorry, Rachel. I tried to stop this, but I couldn’t. The accusation is serious, so they’re going to investigate you.”“I don’t understand anything you’re saying,” she pulled away from me. “What are you talking about, Demian?”“Jeremy was attacked in the hospital by two men. They slashed his throat with a silver weapon. He’s in critical condition in the ICU. The doctors say
