~Zion’s POV~
I was suffering from a severe headache. After turning around, I heard what sounded like a baby wailing. I only cracked my eyelids open a little, and there was my daughter’s stare waiting for me. She was my world and still is. While I was holding her, I came to the realization that I was now dressed in my own clothing and that I had returned to the bridge where I had been found by Kelly’s men. I looked around, and I felt dizzy, but I had to force myself to drive home. Home for Aurora to meet her mother and her brothers. Her thighs had such a puffy tone. I turned the key in the ignition and drove to my house. When I arrived at the villa, it was a little before 7 o’clock in the evening, and I walked straight to my room. Maya was spacing up and down, and she rushed to me, carrying and hugging Aurora. When I saw her grin, I felt a sense of relief; however, after that, my legs were unable to carry me any further. The drug was still present in a significant amount in my system. After that, I passed out on the floor, most likely as a result of the aftereffects of the drug. The last thing I registered was Maya’s calling for help.
~Maya’s POV~
When I first saw my daughter with my husband, I experienced a sense of calm. However, as I took my daughter in my arms and gave her a hug, Zion collapsed to the ground, exposing lipsticks and love bites all over his neck. My blood boiled. So he slept with Kelly to bring back Aurora home? When I saw that he was trembling and sweating while he was lying on the ground, I realized I had to get someone to help. I was taken aback by what I heard when his father and grandfather entered the room where we were sitting.
“She drugged him!” His father screamed. I remained in the same spot while I tried to piece together what it was that he had to go through in order to bring back my daughter. A portion of me finds it hard to accept the fact that he did not take pleasure in any of it. I am aware that ours has ended. This is a reality that I am aware of. Even though he slept with her in order to protect our girl, would I be willing to sleep with the same man again? I watched as paramedics loaded him into the back of an ambulance and hurriedly transported him to the hospital after its arrival. Call me crazy, but I didn’t go with them. It is expected of me to be there to show my support for him, but why is that? He did not obey my orders. He went against everything he vowed not to do. He has betrayed our promises. I went back and noticed bruises on my daughter. I couldn’t hold back my tears. After giving her a bath, I immediately began to breastfeed her. She looked so tiny. I suddenly recalled Mishka in my mind. I took my phone and called her.
Mishka: I heard everything, baby. Lucas and I are on our way.
I was just speechless. My only response was to cry uncontrollably while simultaneously breastfeeding my daughter and shakily clutching my phone in the other hand. I simply remarked in a low voice,
Miya: Okay
I was startled when I heard someone knocking on the door.
“Come in!” I yelled, and my dad walked in. I spotted him glancing around. My first idea was that he might have hurried to the hospital along with the rest of them. “I thought you might have gone to the hospital with everyone else.”
“No, Cupcake. I wanted to talk to you. How are you feeling?”
“I’m fine.” I lied through my teeth.
“Maya, you can’t lie to me. I may not have been a better dad to you all this while, but I know you. ”
“I want to kill him. I want a divorce. He betrayed me.”
Currently, my daughter was sound asleep. I went to put her down. Because I couldn’t control the shaking of my hands, my dad assisted me in putting her down. He reassured me that everything was going to be all right while he held both of my hands. The door opened and my stepmother walked in. They didn’t go to the hospital? That took me completely by surprise. She made her way up to me and gave me a hug.
“Oh, darling, I can’t tell you how happy I am that my granddaughter is back. Maya, you are very fortunate to have such a nice husband. He did not put himself first, which is exactly how a father ought to act.” I felt like yelling at the world. Everyone was quite busy singing praises to Zion. Don’t they get the fact that he fucked another woman? I am happy my daughter is back, but in the process, I lost my husband. “Honey, would you kindly let Maya and I have some time to ourselves? I’m sorry to bother you, but I need to have a quick conversation with her right now.” After giving a nod, my dad got up and left. My mother took my hand and led me into our living room, where she sat me down on one of the couches. When I gazed at her, tears came to my eyes. She gave me a hug.
“Why did he have to sleep with her? Why?”
“Look on the brighter side, Maya. You’ve got your girl back. Right now, we do not know what drugs Zion was given, but as it is, he isn’t responding to medication.” My eyes became wide.
“What exactly do you mean by that?”
“Maya, Zion forces himself to drive back here. It’s likely that he wanted you to cuddle with your daughter. We still don’t know how he got here, but he was already in danger when he got here and none of us saw him.”
When he gave me Aurora, I will never forget the pang of sorrow and the eyes filled with remorse I saw on his face. However, when I kissed Aurora, I noticed a grin on his face, and that’s when he passed out.
“What do you mean? Isn’t he tired from what he did with Kelly?”
“Kelly gave him an unidentified substance to get him to do what she wanted. Zion is currently coma, but they have been unable to determine where the drug was manufactured. I want you to be courageous, my sweet baby. He needs your support, so cry if you need to. I know you are angry. I want you to be by your husband’s side when he wakes up. Then you have every right to rant at him to your heart’s content. It’s possible that you’re feeling furious and questioning a lot of things right now. However, you are aware that Zion is a wonderful parent to his children. It was not easy for him, but he had to do it. Right now, you have your daughter and even if you take action, Kelly won’t harm Aurora. You should go and spend time with your husband. Together with Emma and Grandma, I shall watch after the children. You can count on us to support you.”
I don’t know how I feel about being with Zion. Nevertheless, despite the fact that I am uncertain about how I feel, I am still his wife. I have no idea what my emotions are right now. I want him to live long enough to see our children become adults, but as for the rest of our lives together as husband and wife, I’m not sure what I think about the possibility.
