~SEBASTIAN~ I was so worried about Levi that I could hardly focus on finding Karla. Levi hadn't come out of his room since the day he got discharged and I knew as the days went by without any news on her whereabouts, he was slipping further into depression and I didn't know how to help him because the only way I could help him is if Karla was found. “Why can't we find her?" I uttered as I sat down on the couch with a groan. Jessica immediately grabbed my hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze. “She will be found, I just know it. We just have to keep searching and not lose hope" I turned to her and flashed her a smile before pulling her close. I knew Jessica was worried, maybe even more worried than I was but she was trying to act tough for everyone especially Levi who was already on the verge of breaking. “We'll find her" I murmured then placed a kiss on her lips and she smiled. I was glad she didn't want to hide our relationship anymore and was okay with
~ZANE~ “We need to think of a plan before you run to her, Levi. Do you want to get yourself and her killed?" I uttered as I held him back from running out of the room. He struggled against mine and Daniel's hold before letting out a groan. “I don't care if I die, I need to save her. I don't even want to imagine what she's going through with every second we waste" I sighed. “I understand but we have to proceed with caution, Levi" He turned to me and I saw the sadness and anger in his eyes. “She's pregnant, Zane and the doctor said she won't be able to have another baby after this. If she loses our baby, I know it's going to break her so I have to save her before it's too late" I let out a sigh, truly understanding what he was feeling but it still wasn't a good idea to barge into the enemy's lair without a plan. “Kiara and I will go get Anastasia's blood for you meanwhile, Sebastian will take both our men down to the location and they'll have a stake
~ZANE~ As soon as we got back to Levi's mansion and handed Anastasia's blood to him, he didn't even waste a second before running back to his room to continue creating the weapon. “How was the visit? How was Anastasia" Daniel questioned as soon as Levi disappeared and I sighed. “She's in a very bad state and she has lost her powers" Heather gasped while Daniel's eyes widened. “Damn!" He muttered. “We shouldn't feel sorry for her, she deserves it. See what Levi is going through, only the goddess knows what Karla is going through as well" Kiara suddenly murmured and I sighed before taking her hand and pulling her close. “Listen to me my love, it's okay if you pity Anastasia,okay?" I wiped away her tears with my thumb. “But I don't want to, Zane. Why do I pity her when she did something this evil?" I smiled. “Because you are a good person and you have a soft spot in your heart for Anastasia after what she did for us" I kissed away her tears
~LEVI~ My heart was racing as we drove over to Jason's base, not because I was scared of Jason but because I was scared of the state Karla would be in when I see her. I reached for my phone while keeping my eyes on the road and tried calling Sebastian's number but he didn't pick which made me furrow my eyebrows. I tried again but still, he didn't pick up. “We need to hurry, I think something has happened to Sebastian" I muttered as I stepped on the accelerator. “Are you sure? Maybe he fell asleep and his phone is on silent" Daniel uttered but I shook my head. “No matter what, Sebastian always picks my call. He never puts his phone on silent and he's a light sleeper. Something is wrong, I can feel it" I clenched my fist around the wheel in anger. “Calm down, okay? Let's get there first" Kiara murmured and I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself but it wasn't working. I just hoped Karla and Sebastian were okay. When we got to Jason
~ZANE~ I always knew Levi had it in him to be bloody if he wanted to but the man standing in front of me was a monster. Despite Jason injuring him, Levi never once took a step back and made sure he slashed Jason with the dagger in his hand before Jason Injured him. “Do you know why it's easy to defeat you?" I heard Levi muttered then shot Jason twice on his stomach. Jason screamed and for a split second, I saw fear in his eyes. “Because unlike Liam, you are dumb and now I'm going to make sure you pay for everything you have done to Karla" Levi muttered threateningly then slashed Jason across his face. Jason growled loudly then kicked Levi away before getting up from the floor. His injuries weren't healing and he seemed to be weakening, that means Levi's weapons were working. “You bastard, I should have killed you when I had the chance" Levi just flashed him a devilish smirk as he clenched onto the dagger and gun. “That was your first mistake, underestimating me. How about this…
~LEVI~ The next few days went by like a breeze. I stayed beside Karla, holding her hand and talking to her, hoping she would hear me and know how much I missed her. “Yesterday, Zane bought your favorite flowers for Kiara. Apparently that's her favorite flower too. I'm sure you both have a lot in common and I can't wait for you both to meet. I miss you so much, so damn much" I murmured then leaned in and placed a kiss on her lips. “Wake up my love, come back to me" I let out a sigh as I wanted nothing more than to hug her tightly. “Hey" I turned around and watched as Sebastian walked in with his crutches. He had woken up before I did but his bones were fractured so the doctor asked him to limit his movements. I was glad it wasn't anything permanent except maybe some of the injury marks. “Hey. Where's Zane and the rest?" I questioned and he sighed. “Zane and Kiara are with the doctor while Daniel and Heather went out to get food for everyone. Jess
~ANASTASIA~ I kept quiet as Lucien led me into his house but couldn't stop myself from staring at him. He looked so worn out and tired, not like the Lucien I knew before. He had become more rugged looking. “Wait till the rain stops. If you want to kill yourself, do it somewhere I can't see you" He murmured as I sat down on the couch. He was about to walk away when I grabbed his hand.. “Lucien, I…" “Don't think because I brought you into my house means that I have forgiven you. I can never forgive you for what you did, Anastasia" He muttered and the tears streamed down my face before I could stop it. “Lucien, please…" “Because of you,my brother has gone through so much pain! His woman is currently fighting for her and their baby's life. All this is because of you and you think just because you came to apologize, all will be forgiven? You are a vile woman and no matter what, I cannot forgive you neither can I forgive myself. If I hadn't indulged y
~LEVI~ The next few days were hell for me. Karla wasn't showing any signs of waking up and the doctor kept bothering me that it was the right choice to take the baby out but I didn't want that. If Karla woke up, she'd want to give birth to her baby normally. I didn't want to deprive her of that. While Daniel and Heather had volunteered to go bring their children over since Kiara and Zane didn't want to leave my side until Karla woke up even though I tried convincing them I was okay because I didn't want to trap them here. What if…what if Karla took a year before she woke up? “My heart won't be at rest if we leave you this way just like you stayed by me when I was in an almost similar situation like hers" Kiara murmured as she placed her hand on his shoulder. “And you stayed by my side and became my voice of reason. Do not worry about us, we'll stay in a hotel in the meantime and since the children will be coming soon, Kiara won't be as anxious" I glanced at both
