Chapter 50 Until death
GRAY’S POV
I and John followed behind as Luna and Lisa were being taken into the hospital.
I still had tears in my eyes as she was being pushed laying on the bed with her eyes close.
She’s pregnant too ? How could I have allowed her do something this dangerous when she was carrying our child.
I couldn’t protect neither my child, nor Luna. What the hell was I doing, what have I done. I never should have allowed Luna do something like this.
I was being stopped from entering the operating room with Luna, so I and John had to wait behind.
I roughed with hair so badly with Luna’s blood stains on my hands and shirt.
I had to use my hands to shut my eyes tightly as I wanted to stop crying.
Collins rushed in minutes later.
” Gray… Gray how’s she?” He asked but I didn’t even look at him or give him a reply.
A doctor came out and walked towards us.
“Can you all follow me “. He said, his voice sounding like something bad had really happened.
I swallowed hard and covered my mouth while I Collins and John followed behind.
” We couldn’t save her, I’m sorry but you brought her in way too late”. The doctor said making me immediately rush to go check if it was actually Luna or Lisa.
I paused immediately I saw Lisa, and a tear fell down from my eyes.
John came foward and immediately he sighted Lisa’s body he fell on the floor without uttering a word.
I sighed, hoping I would not lose like he just did right now.
He stood up and came towards Lisa holding her hands while rubbing her hair.
I nodded at Gray and we both walked out to give him some time alone with her.
” What about my wife, how’s she ?” I eagerly asked the doctor who turned his face away from me.
” She’s in a very critical condition right now, it’s not gonna be easy ” . He said almost making me fall but Collins held me tight.
” Please I beg of you… Save her.. I do whatever it takes. I’ll pay whatever amount you ask, but please save her ” I begged trying not to loose my mind.
The doctor nodded and walked back into the operating room.
I turned to Collins who was still holding my shoulders.
” Did you know? Did you fucking know she was carrying a child ?” I asked
” What? How on Earth….” Collins replied suprised just like I was when I heard her say that to me.
” She was carrying a child Gray, and yet we made her do such a thing. How could she keep such a thing away from me huh?”I asked trying hard not to release my tears.
” Shit…. It’s all messed up “.
I kept on pacing to and fro without seating for more than two hours and finally the same doctor came out again.
” We managed to save her from the worst condition, but I do hope she gets better and regains consciousness soon ” He said.
” Can I at least see her ” I said when he was about leaving.
” Yeah, but only for a brief moment” He replied and as we all turned to leave, two nurses came out running towards us.
” She’s bleeding, the patients bleeding” One screamed and when I heard her, I nearly had an heart attack as I rushed with the doctor inside the room Luna was.
” What’s all this , how the hell can she be in such a condition?” I asked myself as I watched as so many people attended to her trying to save Luna.
” Take him out please,” a nurse said to Collins who stood beside me.
I didn’t want to leave, but I had to in order to let them all focus on saving her.
5 minutes later a female doctor walked out.
” I don’t think we can save the baby…. it’s a really serious condition.. she lost the baby”. she said.
Though I was really mad hearing such words, but I had to think about Luna’s condition first.
” I don’t fucking care about the baby right now, I need her to live, I need her to be alive. Just ensure she’s out of danger please” I begged.
” I can’t guarantee you anything for now, but we’re trying our best to save her. It’s all up to her to fight and live”. She said and turned to leave.
I badly wanted to pull out my hair in anger watching Luna that way.
” I’m gonna kill them, I’m gonna kill those fucking bastards” I screamed loud and turned to leave but Collins held me back.
” Gray, stop it, what if you get killed , think about this Gray” He said but instead I threw him a punch.
” Because of them, she’s in this condition, in pain, in so much pain and here I am unable to do anything about it, here I am being a fucking loser watching my woman in so much pain”. I said and release my hands from Collins. But as I was about leaving I heard John’s voice.
” I’ll go with you. He did this to her….. and I’m gonna fucking kill him ” He said and walked up to me.
” Stay here and watch over Luna, I’ll be back ” I said to Collins and when he slowly nodded his head , I looked at Johnny and we both walked out of the hospital.
Speeding all the way, John grabbed two guns from the back seat and handed one to me.
” It’s gonna be tough, but right now I think I should know where he’s gonna be right now”. He said.
” Tough? No way. The only thing that’s gonna be easy is his death. ” I said and Increased my speed limit in anger.
Even though I was so hurt, his case was still worse than mine. Yeah I did lose someone too, and that’s my baby and I still don’t Know of I might lose Luna or not, but right now, Lisa’s dead. Fucking dead and it’s still all that bastards fault.
I mean how the hell could he do this to his son.
I parked the car roughly in front of the big building.
We both came down from the car and looked at each other.
” I’ll lead the way, follow me ” He said and I followed behind him.
We both kept shooting till the front exit was cleared and free for us to walk in.
There was a long passageway with about three men standing guard there.
We both hid behind a wall trying to think of what to do.
” Don’t worry, they won’t be able to hear us, the room is totally sound proof even the loudest gunshots won’t be heard in there.”He said making us shoot at all the men standing there.
I stood still breathing heavily and the more I imagined Luna, the more I closed my fist tightly.
Without even thinking, I started walking towards the room. He rushed yo to me and stopped me.
” I said I’ll lead the way. If anything gonnahappen to any one if us, then it should be me. You still have someone waiting for you to come back home safe and sound, but I’ve got no one. ” He said and moved to the front.
I followed behind, and immediately we got closed he forcefully pushed the door opened .
The room was pretty dark making it the perfect place for me. but unfortunately I needed light to see identity him because I didn’t even know who the hell he was.
I couldn’t feel the presence of John beside me again, and as I was about moving forward the light turned on.
I looked backwards only to see it was Johnny who turned on the light. Without even uttering a word, he rushed towards his father and roughly grabbed him by the collar.
” You fucking cruel bastard… Didn’t you use me enough, and yet you still had the guts to kill her..” He yelled giving him a hard painful blow which sent his father on the floor.
I stood at a spot pointing my gun at the freaking fools who were also in the room.
“You never for once loved me did you ? ” He asked his father who was badly shaking while on his knees, but didn’t get a reply from him.
” Even if you kill me right now, I still will always treat you the same way. Like a nobody ” Mr Harold replied leaving me shocked.
” Seriously?”
John tightened his fist so hard trying to pull the trigger, but when he was about to, I pulled mine instead making the bullet pass through his forehead.
” He’s still your dad, I don’t think it’s right you do it ” I said to him when he turned to look at me but surprisingly in anger, he fired countless bullets into his father’s body even though the bastard was completely dead.
John walked towards the table and took a seat in his father’s spot.
” I swear, I just wanna get a bullet into every one of your skulls but I’m holding back right now ” He said with so much anger, while I stood watching him.
” Now I’m not gonna be like my father ever again, and I won’t force any of you to stay back ” he said with every single bit if authority trying to be strong.
I wanted to continue listening but then my phone rang making me take it out from my pocket.
” Collins, how’s Luna”. I asked immediately I picked up the call.
” She’s awake Gray, Luna’s awake. She wants to see you now, so get your ass here right now” He said and immediately I heard it I ended the call and ran out of the room .
” Hey” I heard John’s voice making me stop to look back at him.
” Thank you, and take care” He said and walked back into the room making me smile as I continued rushing towards my car.
I parked my car and quickly came down rushing inside the hospital and when I got into the room I met Collins beside her while she laid facing the ceiling.
” Baby” I called and ran to her giving her a light hug on the bed so as not to hurt her.
” Gray…. Gray…. I lost our baby. I’m so sorry” Luna said with tears in her eyes
” It’s fine baby, you’re most important right now okay … we can always have another baby anytime we want okay.” I replied rubbing her forehead while Collins stood up to walk out of the room and give us some privacy.
” Thank you so much for staying alive Luna. Thank you”.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
5 WEEKS LATER.
LUNA’S POV
” Dad ” I called immediately I walked into the house. It wasn’t even the same anymore and every looked completely different and unimaginably untidy.
My dad who was sitting on his favorite chair with a bottle of alcohol turned back to look at me, and immediately he saw me, he stood up in suprise.
” Moon , moon , it’s that you ?” He said making me smile.
Gosh, he still never forgets to call me moon, oh my precious dad.
” Dad” I called again after he recognized me and ran towards him to hug him tight and cry in his arms.
” Dad, I missed you so much. I’m so sorry I didn’t come to see you earlier, I’m so sorry” I said already in tears while he tapped my back slowly.
” No moon, I should be the one to be sorry for not saving you back then. I couldn’t do anything while you were being sold away by your stepmom. I’m so sorry. I searched for you everywhere but I couldn’t find you because I had no money to do so” He replied me .
” It’s fine dad, everything’s alright now. But what about stepmom, where’s she ? I asked and looked at Gray who was still standing behind us.
” She’s in jail now, she got arrested a month ago for child trafficking and forcing young girls into prostitution, she’s in jail with her friend right now”.
I widened my eyes in suprise hearing such words from my father.
” I won’t ever let you live this way dad. You’ll be coming with me.”I said
” Here, meet my fiance Gray. He saved me from the hands of that wicked woman, and we’re both getting married” I said with a smile as I walked towards Gray to being him closer to my dad.
Gray smiled after greeting my dad and took his hand for a handshake.
” Thank you so much son, for taking care of my daughter. Thank you.”. My dad said while Gray only smiled and looked at me.
” No need to take anything with you dad, everything you’ll need has been provided for you okay.” I said to my dad and held his hand and Gray’s as we both walked out and headed to the new house Gray got my dad.
Immediately we ensured he loved everything and was comfortable in his new home, I and Gray got back into the car and drove off after bading my dad goodbye.
” Don’t you wanna see her? Gray asked
” Who? My stepmom? . Nah, I’ve forgiven her from the bottom of my heart already and there’s nothing more. Though she ruined mine and my dad’s lives but she also made it easier for us to meet right? I said making Collins hold my hand with his left hand while using his right hand to control the wheels.
” I love you ” He said looking at me.
” And I love you too Gray” I replied and smiled.
We got back home and both headed straight upstairs, as I couldn’t even wait to tell Gray about it.
Immediately we got into the room, I hugged him from behind
” Gray, I have something to tell you” I said to him making him turn around to look at me.
” What is it ?” Gray asked with the sweetest voice.
” Alright, close your eyes first” I replied him and reached for my bag to get it.
” I’m pregnant” I said with joy handing him the results.
Gray flung his eyes open immediately and took it, when he opened it, he screamed and swooped he off my feet rolling round with me in his arms, while I kept on laughing till he dropped me on the bed and kissed me deeply.
” Luna, will you go to France with me? ” He asked making he use my palm to cover my mouth in order not to scream.
” Of course I will baby”. I replied.
” Till death do is part ” I said to Gray bringing out my pinky finger.
He smiled and brought out his too in order to join it with mine.
” Till death do us part “. He said and we both smiled before he leaned closer to me and kissed me passionately taking off my clothes.
