Chapter 29 – The search"I'm sure you could do a better job, but right now I only care about my wife... I am in a bit of a rush" I ignore my uncle pulling out my gun and walking into the motel ahead of him. I was not sure if there were more of those thugs around, I needed to be on guard."God you’re such an asshole like your father and that’s not a compliment by the way. I mean it as an insult..." he groans behind me but follows me anyway.I do not respond, if I could be half the man my father is I would be happy. My father has loved my mother from the second he laid eyes on her; he taught me what it meant to love your wife and how to protect your family so if I could be anything like him, I would be happy.We start on the ground floor checking room by room, checking to make sure Zelina is not in any of them.But we got nothing on the first floor...We go up to the second floor checking each room carefully and she is not here...The third and last floor...We check everything single ro
Chapter 30 – Zelina is foundOnce the chopper arrives, we board, and my uncle places a hand on my shoulder."Hey... Niklaus do you remember how to fly this thing?" he asks starting the chopper upI nod "Yeah why?" I ask"In case we get her... Then I climb down the ladder to get her... I do not want to lose nine hundred trillion, by you falling out of the helicopter" he jokes."So, you actually know how much I'm worth?" I joke back."Yes of course... I do just those dumb accounting guys lie so I get less money" he says while rolling his eyes..."Second Uncle it’s not hiding it from you but it’s because we don't need more death threats and even more people will want money... And it is okay I will go down myself...” I glare his way"If you say so... You better return alive I am not facing your mother and your grandmother's wrath for losing nine hundred trillion and their precious baby..." he jokes."Ha-ha very funny... We both know my dad is their favourite... And you were not drugged ti
Chapter 31 – Zelina in the HospitalWhile in the helicopter... I called the private hospital owned by my family to prepare for our arrival, I continue to hold Zelina in my arms during the entire flight. She feels lifeless. I send out a silent prayer for her to be okay.The reason I am taking her to our private hospital is because I cannot have the press knowing about Zelina’s identity or about my wife being injured, once word gets out all hell will break lose and all my enemies would take it as a sign to hurt her to get back at me. the other reason I want to take her to the hospital is because my first aunt used to work there, but rushed back when I asked her to personally take care of Zelina... I do not trust anyone else with Zelina except my aunt.I am looking at my little wife... Her hands are bleeding, her back is bleeding, the bottom of her feet has cuts, her hair is a mess, her arm is swollen and out of joint... How the hell did she survive running for at least four hours? I fe
Chapter 32 – Mister Gang Lord10 hours laterZelina just got out of surgery, she had a broken femur and broken arm... luckily, She's safe... First Aunt comes to me"Niki Honey come take a walk with me... It will be a few hours before she wakes up" dread fills me at her toneI look at Zelina... And then I nod...Once we get into the hall"Look here Niki I'm really sorry we tried everything, but we couldn't save your baby, we didn’t know she was pregnant, and you didn’t mention it we found out too late..." my aunt explainsI stop dead in my track and look at her in shock. "Zelina was pregnant?" I whisper my voice barely audible. We lost our baby? a baby about which we did not even know.My aunt nods. "Yes... You did not know?" she asksI shake my head. "No... We were not even trying or thinking about having a baby yet..." I tell her"She is. I mean, she was two months pregnant" she informs meI bring my hand up to my face right now I do not care about this damn mask I pulled it off and
Chapter 33 – Dealing with the Gold familyNiklaus JacobsPOV"So, what do I get for you hurting my wife? And causing her to miscarry?" I say"Master Gang Lord, I'm sorry I... We did not know she was married to you or that she was pregnant" Scarlet Gold says “We did what we had to do to save the business you have to understand.” Scarlet gives me the puppy dog eyes. It disgusts me even more. My hatred for this woman has grown even more since seeing her all those years ago. I never liked her. Always looking for ways to get ahead by hurting others. That is the worst kind of people. "Didn't she tell you people she's not interested yet you fools keep bothering my wife, maybe I should just take your life in place of my child’s?" I ask giving her a cold stare, I sweep my eyes over to her father. "I... please master Gang Lord she was fine when we left... Please spare us for the sake of my daughter, you do not know but Zelina's mother is terribly ill, and we need the money for the company an
Chapter 34 – White lies"Let’s not worry about this now... Let us focus on you healing, Okay? We can worry about that once you are all healed up then we can visit one of the best hospitals in the world, okay?" I smile.I was not lying, even if we needed a surrogate in the future to have children, I would make Zelina’s dreams come true. if she wanted children, I would give her children. She glares at me. "Niklaus tell me the truth!" she shouts then grimaces. I pull a face; I hated seeing her in pain."I don't know I'll have to ask First Aunt" I tell her. I honestly did not know; I did not think about that. All I cared about was her health."Who?" Zelina looks at me confused."My First Uncle's wife Rebecca she's a doctor she did your surgery..." I explain"Dr Xiao?" she asks I nod "It's Dr Jacobs now, I had her fly in from Washington to take care of you" I inform herShe shakes her head "That's too troublesome"I smile kissing her head "Don't worry she did it happily... I'll call her
Chapter 35 –Later that night Zelina fell asleep I received a phone call from my first uncle (Kevin Jacobs) "First Uncle?" I answer walking out of the room, so I did not disturb my wife’s sleep"Niklaus I've heard you've caused quit a ruckus in California, I have to explain why there are roadblocks and all flights have been delayed, and worst of all I had to hear from Rebecca your wife was found... Am I your uncle or is it just an illusion?" he asks, I could hear his anger through the phone"I'm sorry first uncle..." I apologize"Fix the problem on your end, also I'll be in town soon since my wife and kids followed you to California" he says annoyed."Yes, uncle I'll arrange for you to say in the Great house..." I tell him"No need I've arranged to stay with your parents since my wife is there" he really is annoyed now. One thing people do not know about the men in our family they hate when time with their wives is taken away from them."First Uncle is something the matter? Did some
Chapter 36 – Arcenciel JacobsZelina JacobsPOVWhen I woke up the next morning Niklaus was sleeping on the sofa next to my bed. He looks terrible, he looks extremely exhausted, his jet-black hair is all messy and he has a deep frown etched on his face while asleep. I know I made him worry, this is all my fault, if my family were not so messed up, he would not have to worry about me, and he also wouldn't have lost so much sleep, if I had known I was pregnant there's no way I would have jumped out of that window. If I had known he was on his way, I would have waited, I would have done everything in my power to protect my baby. am I a terrible mother that I did not even know I was pregnant? So many what ifs are running through my head, if I had just stayed put and gone with my original plan by waiting until we get to the airport it would have been amazing, I would not have a concussion, broken femur, broken arm and lost my baby... I was pregnant for two months and I did not even know..
