Chapter 24—------------"The woman who has stolen your heart from…" "From who, Kate? No one has stolen my heart. It belongs to its rightful owner, no one has stolen it," he gasped, "You know what, I'll give you the chance to love when you get well. You'll find out your heart is not stolen, but rather sacrificed."He explained, persuading me to accept the surgery calmly without any bad feelings. I began to wonder how my bills would be paid, and whose coffers that money is going to come from. "What will you do if I refuse to survive? Will you go and meet your lover without me?" I groaned, trembling and cramping the bed sheet, "what will you do if I am unlucky?" I burst into tears."Well, that's an incredible question, I may not be able to see her. She's just like a bird, she's very beautiful and eloquent, yet, I might need you to decipher if she's my real bird or not," he explained in a parable, "I would need someone to hold my umbrella when I am kissing her, and that person should b
Chapter 25--------------- Two Days Later-------------------I woke up to see Dr. Marilyn again, not knowing how she ended up there. The first doctor was a man. Yeah, I saw him and heard his voice even when I was on the brink of dying. Yeah, I cannot forget that. Although, I wasn’t feeling the nasty pain in my heart anymore. My right foot was tightly wrapped in a P.O.P. bandage and hanging up. I think I survived the surgery. “Welcome once again, brave girl!” Marilyn celebrated, standing up to change the cannula. I thought that was the last one until she inserted a new one and sat back in her seat. “Am I spending another day Marilyn!!?” I yelled out my frustration. She couldn’t say a word for a while. She was flabbergasted about the question and how I yelled. Personally, I sensed that was bad, but I was angry.“You have been here for two days and…no…are you alright, Kate?” “You are my doctor; you should know better! Marilyn, I am tired of being here, and besides, let the male doc
Chapter 26—------------MATT'S POV—---------At the club at 7:36 pm ********** "Give me my favorites," I requested after I reached the club.I had a lot on my mind as I found myself in the club. I swam through the dancing wet bodies, not realizing I was wet by their sweats. "Are you alright, Mr. Matt?" the bartender asked, drifting a glass of hot tequila to me. I liked it when people could tell me my state through my actions, so I did give him a reply. He could have guessed first, maybe, it would have dragged me into a conversation, letting me spew all I had in there. I was trying to lock everything with alcoholics. I picked it and gulped it down, without even trying a sip first. It was just hot in my throat, nothing much. I needed something which would help me numb the pain and forget about every tiny word Kate has said to me. "Hey dude, I want it hotter." I requested and rested my heavy wallet on the counter.I vigorously pushed the glass back for him to fill it, but unfortu
CHAPTER 27-----------------“Sorry, her mother took her away three hours ago,” the nurse said, “we also didn’t want her to go but we had no choice but to take her away.” She added, analyzing my change of mood.“I thought she was going to stay here for about four or five days, what the fuck are you telling me,” I whispered in the ward where Kate was, sustaining only an inch between us, “should anything happen to her, I am going to hold you guys accountable for that, and put you in trouble just like Dr. Osborn!”I felt like fucking her to teach her a lesson, she wouldn’t have tested my anger again. By the way, she wasn’t bad. I was only crazy about the fact that I didn’t meet Kate over there and I was afraid my words were going to vanish. “Why did you let her go?” I asked, wanting to know why she left the place without even texting me, and not even Antonio. It was suspicious and I needed to know before I stepped out.“Please, let me go, I don’t want to scream, you would get into troub
CHAPTER 28—--------------KATE'S POV—---------------"This one costs $16.00, trust me, your friend will like it," she bragged, folding the umbrella, "it's spring and as you know, it rains a lot. Just take it to him."I sat in my wheelchair looking at the hundreds of umbrellas, and all I could pick was an expensive one. I needed to get it for Matt before we met again. Maybe, would pass by his house and leave it there. "Alright, I'll pay for this," I took it and rang my coins left in my purse in her hand, "thank you." It was my last coin. I had spent all of my money, on food and unnecessary stuff like this umbrella. I even got myself a new phone, which I wanted to take back for my money. There was no use to be using an expensive phone and starving as an outcome. I should have thought better. Reaching the main road, I made a move and stopped. I was afraid to step in. Cassandra has gone to school and mom didn't even know I was coming out. A good Samaritan just pushed me from behind t
Chapter 29 -----------“I fell in love with you just the first day I met you, Matt.” I confessed, “But I never dreamt of you having the same feelings,” I sobered at his back.“Yeah, I felt the same, I was shocked to see a beautiful girl like you, working for me as my maid. I had to control my feelings, and also confirm if you were the right person.” He said back, turning his head to rest for a kiss on his cheek.I wanted more of the kiss but the rains were getting worse. I wanted to be kissed all night long but Matt wasn’t thinking about something else. My wheelchair, and how we were going to get up there. He carried me at his back like a baby girl. When he reached the children’s playing grounds which were always empty and unlocked, he made me sit on a chair while he lay down to rest and enjoy the rain.“Matt, I love you so much,” I said, falling on top of him and kissing him passionately. His lips tasted like sweets, so I suck saliva from his mouth. Maybe, the rain entered his mou
Chapter 30------------“Please, I can’t breathe. Let me go.” I pleaded with my hands tied at my back and against a solid hard round object. I could not breathe properly and I could not hear any talk nor move, yet I pleaded to be let free. I sat on the floor and from the feeling, I figured there was sand. But my cry and screams hitting back at me gave me courage, it was an enclosed area, and that gave me a bit of comfort.I stayed on the ground trying to get myself out of whatever thing they tied my hand with, but it was a strong knot and my strength couldn’t make any change towards it. “Kate!!” a woman echoed in the room, “the devil was right beside me, yet I blamed and killed an innocent Angel.” She added and rustled a metallic object.“Who are you, please let me go,” I begged, tried to stand up but fell on my side.“A sick girl… a sick poor wretched girl who wants the prince charming for herself! The person speaking didn’t sound familiar. I was thinking it was Catherine but that
Chapter 31---------------MATT’S POV*********“They took my daughter away,” Kate’s mother cried, “I can’t remember anything aside from letting them in. Do you think she’s dead?” tears rolled over, as she cleaned most.Her room was scattered, things lay here and there. Her jewelry, clothes and dresses, papers and pictures, and a lot of other unimportant stuff but there were no traces of blood in the room. I saw my coat safely hanging on the wall. But that wasn’t what I was looking for. “Did they leave anything here?” I asked.“Yes! Yes!” She scrubbed through the papers and brought out one and started to read, “Report to the police, and your daughter will be gone.” She handed it to me after she had read it.“Where is her friend?”“Cassandra is in school.” She said and began to touch her heart.“Are you alright, ma?” She couldn’t let her word out. She left her mouth ajar and sat back in her chair and looked up. Her face was so pale like a ghost. I suspected she wasn’t alright when I
