Jessica’s POV…
I woke up with my ears drumming, my head banging as if it will split into two, I tried opening my eyes but my eyelids hurts and it feels heavy.
“She will be fine, she will wake up soon, thankfully she has a small concussion but no other damage, her lungs has been expelled of water, she will be fine ”
“Thank you doc, thank you for everything ”
I heard two voices but I couldn’t register what they were saying, it felt as if their language were foreign and it sounds so alien to me, my mind went blank again.
XAVIER’S POV
It has been three days since we found Jessica and got everyone involved arrested, thankfully we got there in time if not, I wondered what would have happened, she hasn’t woken up yet, except for the twitches her fingers made sometimes no other thing anymore.
It still feels like a nightmare when I remembered what happened three days ago.
(FLASHBACK)
I went to the location I was told, it was so quite, I had to pack very far from there to avoid attention towards me.
I came out and crept towards the area, I was looking around while being discreet, I knew I have seen the place when I saw a black car packed there, I went into the building, everywhere was dark and I had to be careful too to avoid making noise or anything of the sought.
I heard the sound of water as I approached, there was someone standing guard there smoking, I crept slowly towards him, thankfully I was all covered in black clothes only my eyes were visible, I held his head and twisted very fast and hard, I caught him before he hit the floor, I then carried him behind the place, seems like I upset my injury because it started hurting again, I took out the medicine and swallowed without water, I went into the place, there were lights on inside and only two people are in there, I couldn’t see all the inside well, I had to calculate my move well before attacking to avoid getting shot instead, i brought out a silenced gun and shot the first person and second, i had a standoff with the third person who i didn’t see then, he appeared to be the boss because of his dressing.
“Where is she”
“Xavier, wow, you did really love her don’t you?”
“It’s none of your business, now where is she before I shoot?”
“Well…. guess”
I shot but my gun was out of bullet, then he hit me square on my stomach, I grunted in pain but thankfully the medicine kicked, we started fighting throwing punches here and there, my wound started bleeding and when he noticed he started hitting me there only, it made me dizzy and feeling faint, I disentangle from him and tried giving us space, but he wasn’t having it, I felt around and brought out my knife and aimed at his leg and stabbed, he shouted and fell, I didn’t give him time, I stabbed all four limbs of his crippling him at the moment, I searched around for Jessica but then I noticed the tank has a rope trailing inside, I immediately stabbed it, since it wasn’t metal, it broke immediately, I continued as water was drenching me and my injury, i didn’t care at all, due to pressure from the overflowing water, it broke and the weight of the water pushed me down, i was so dizzy but i struggled to my feet, Jessica was semi lying and semi sitting up, i cut the rope and checked her pulse it was weak but still there, I started pressing her tummy to get water out and once am done, I performed a CPR and then when she came to, the police arrived and I blacked out.
I woke up the next day, all cleaned up and bandaged, I got up and demanded to see her, she was just out from the emergency ward, I breathed in relief.
(FLASHBACK ENDS)
“I know we aren’t close but you should wake up, we have a lot to discuss ”
I said to her, she looks peaceful lying down there, if not for how pale her face is, and the bandage around her head, you would think she is just sleeping.
My men were still investigating the person that snitched on them, it must be from the company because apart from the people involved and the ten people she told no one else knows about this, so they must be from the ten people she told, the other two has already published the news to the public but nothing about her is mentioned,. I made sure of that
One kiss is all it takes
To fall in love with me
My ringtone sounded, I picked it up and answered,
“Boss, we have found them, they are members of the Global company ”
“Good, detained them, make them experience the same water treatment as my wife then hand them over to the police, tell them this ‘ if they don’t work well for them to stay there then I shouldn’t be blamed’ bye”
I hanged up and went to the doctor’s to check my injury, it’s healing back and am getting better, I went to the company to sought things out.
“Knock, knock, knock ”
“Come in”
“Xavier, how are you doing and Jessica?”
“Well am fine but she hasn’t woken up yet ”
“Oh, I heard everything that happened men and am sorry”
“Yes, it isn’t your fault, it’s mine because if I had rejected the favour in the first place, this wouldn’t have happened ”
“Don’t beat yourself, who knew it would be dangerous, it wasn’t part of the plan ”
“I know but I can’t help and think what if”
My phone rang again and honestly am getting irritated by everything
“Sir, ma’am is awake”
