24 Hours Later

Beeps of monitor knocked at my door of sleep. It was so hard to answer it but eventually, I was getting power. The clouds over my mind were getting thin and I was becoming conscious of my surroundings a little bit. My eyes were ajar. I fought the heaviness in my body. I felt like crying as I gained my mind. My body felt too weak and tired to move even a finger but I jerked my face aside. I started taking heavy breaths even though I could feel a mask on my mouth. I was getting out of hands but I don’t know why my body wanted to do this. 

I wanted to shout and I did. I wanted to yell, I did and I wanted to run, which I would, soon. 

Hands grabbed my shoulders and a voice started registering in my mind, “Calm down, little one. I said calm down.” a deep manly voice calmed me, a few seconds later I learnt it was Nicolas so, without thinking anything further, I opened my eyes to calm my racing body. 

He was on top of my face, I looked at him while squinting. 

“Thank God, you woke up,” he said, and I recalled the moment that happened… when?

I tried to get up but severe pain in my abdomen arose. “Hey no! You’ve got stitches, keep laying down,” Nicolas scolded me, a tear fell from my eye.

“Is… he… no m-more?” I didn’t have the courage to ask him this but I had to know the truth. He didn’t answer me for a while, “IS HE NO MORE!?” I yelled at him my question, 

He tightened the grip over my shoulders, “Little one, this is life,” all the replied was this and I was going nuts, “I.asked.you, is my baby safe!?” I kept my voice low but pressed every word equally to show my rage. 

“No, he is… no more,” that’s it. He said the most terrifying words to me. I growled in pain, my tears were unstoppable and I stomped my fist on the bed but it only gave me a current of pain down there, down my empty womb. 

I screamed in pain, I kept screaming until nurses rushed in. They saw me in a terrible mess. I was mourning for my lifeless baby. I inwardly wished for death. That was my only hope to get my life back and they stole it from me, oh my little soul, they were too cruel to us. First, they unwantedly gifted me pregnancy and then took you away from me.   

“Malady, please it’s not healthy for you right now, you need rest,” she said with cracky voice, 

“FUCK OFF, GO THE FUCK AWAY! STOP CALLING ME THAT! JUST GO AWAY!” I yelled at her too, and for the first time in my life, I cursed someone. It was too harsh but I wasn’t in my right shape of mind. 

“Call master,” the second nurse said to someone.

“Oh don’t you dare to call him! I’ll break your bones! I DON’T WANT TO SEE HIS FACE. HE IS MY REASON I’M LIKE THIS!” I snapped her, “DAD, LOOK AT ME, WHAT DID THEY DO TO YOUR DAUGHTER. MUM, I NEED YOU SO MUCH, I MISS YOU. God, I miss you so much, mum” I sobbed which turned into hysterical cries. My hands were covering my face while I was a disaster. Pools of emotions were bursting in me. I wanted to go back to America and never come to this horrible place again. 

“Ladies, I order you all to wait outside, Malady needs to be alone,” Nicolas commanded them, I liked that he knew I wanted to be alone but I want to be with him, alone. So, I can hug him again and cry my soul out. 

Another senior nurse arrived before others could leave the room, “Mr Nightley, let us do our job, I’ve orders to give Malady my prime attention and she needs rest,” that lady said while striding ahead to me, she had an injection in her hand which she was preparing. I deeply emitted the air and asked her, “What are you going to do?”

She replied, “You need to sleep and don’t panic my beautiful, this won’t hurt,” as she was about to inject me. The door again opened and Julianna made her steps in. She was all modernly dressed and her perfume’s fragrance spread all over the VIP room. All nurses left the room and Nicolas too. 

I was out of breaths so I took deep gasps, that’s when the hustle started. “Lana, baby, Oh thank Mighty you’re awake. Oh finally! You scared the shit out of us,”. She rushed to me and placed a kiss on my forehead.

“Why are you here?” I asked her with a weak voice, my question was rude but I didn’t care. She was his sister and he has become my death note.

“Baby sister, I’m here for you, You bleed a lot and we all were so worried for you. Armando lost hopes that you will wake up. He stood beside you all night, you were sleeping and kept caressing your cheeks, placing kisses on your face, I saw him like that for the first time. But I sent him home because he was way too stressed about the baby. Now, I informed him that you’re up and he’s on his way here,” does she always talk trash? Can’t she keep her efficiencies to herself and mind her own business, always makes complications for me.

“What happened in that bathroom?” she asked me, her hand was on my forehead and she was lightly brushing it. I needed that. A lot. 

“Nothing, I don’t remember neither I want,” I indirectly asked her to not interrogate me as I was not in the mood.

As she opened her mouth to utter something, the door slam opened and Armando rushed to me. He was in crazy haste. 

“Oh, my kitten, my little baby! You are okay, right? Nothing can happen to you when I’m with you. I would’ve set the world on fire if anything might’ve happened to you, my kitten,” he cooed at me and peppered kisses on all over my face but I turned my face sideways. 

“I’m not okay! She took my soul away, how could I be okay!?” I yelled, and this one on Armando “I had told you, Armando, I did. Karma hits people, even their loved ones too and you see what happened here? Your sins cost my baby’s life. He wasn’t even born” I cried out again, my heart was beating way too fast and breaths were unstable. 

“Kitten, I’ll make her pay for taking my heir’s life, she has committed a sin and the devil himself can’t protect her from my wrath. I’ll take her life so painfully that her soul will remember it to eternity, my angel”
