“| will be back later torrow morning to dress your wounds and to check up in that one that needs a little bit more care. Dr. Hannigan said as he closed up his suitcase and prepared to leave.

“Just make sure you take those antibiotics and pain relief drugs with meals.” He reminded me with a smile before leaving.

Oh, it had felt good to be home after every thing. | couldn’t do much yet until my cuts were healed and the suture had been removed which |

arrived to dress my wounds, had been bos hoping would be soon. The night Dr. Hannigan had a relief and a pain.

He had to clean the wounds before moving any further and had been concerned about all of them especially that one that | knew hurt more. When he applied the clear liquid to clean them out | shricked from the pain. Had it not been for the towel that Nancy had left for me to bite on, | would have surely cracked a window.

My wounds were then stitched followed by gauze to catch any oozing. Dr Hannigan was kind enough to attend to me at home when he had learnt of the severity of my situation before he agreed to take a look.

“Mama, do you want to have some breakfast now?” Hayley asked gently beside me.

She never left my side since | had returned except for when | was initially being examined. She was both relieved and slightly upset with me but | tried to explain to her that | had gotten in to some trouble but that | was safe now.

“Only if you share breakfast with me! It had already become a routine of ours. At each meal time, she would join me with a plate of her own and while we usually never ate in the room, | guess this time was an exception to the rule.

She nodded eagerly then rushed out the room to tell the chef that we were ready for breakfast. A tray with eggs, roast, bacon, and a bowl of fruit had been arranged on a tray and placed over a wooden table that sat over my legs so | could eat without any pressure on my legs.

“| like eating breakfast with you.” Hayley said as she but in to some roast of her own.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“| like it, too. Although I like that you nap with me during the day alot. With all the meds that | had been taking, | had been falling asleep shortly after meals and Hayley would either fall asleep with me or bring some colouring of activity for her to quietly keep her entertained while | slept.

She didn’t disturb me and was ever so mindful of me. As much as | tried to have her calm and not stressed out, she rarely listened and insisted on serving as a junior nurse at my service. | found it cute and it had only made me realise what an amazing kid she was.

“We could play a board game when you wake up from your nap later. She suggested and | agreed because there really wasn’t much else that we could do.

After just two days of complete bed rest, | was bored out of my mind but thankful to be alive. It was all so insanely traumatizing that my mind had began to block every thing out bit by bit especially how the ordeal or the exchange had gone down..

Hayley and I had eaten and chatted at our leisure and she hasn’t mentioned Dante once. Not that | was mad about that but I knew that it was only a matter of time before | had recovered and she would be asking about Dante again. | wasn’t stupid to think that I could erase him from her life but there had to be some rules.

“Maybe you should get some air today with Nancy.” | suggested to her lightly. “Check on the rose bushes for me. | coaxed her in to agreeing.

She loved the gardens and even the roses and if it tempted her to walk around and gsf some air out side then so be it. Obviously she shook her head. “No. Not until | know you're all better.” She insisted and | smiled at her look of determination.

“| will be fine. In fact, after | take my meds, | will be sound asleep. | pointed out and she pursed her I*ps considering for a moment before her eyes lit up like she had an idea but she simmered down before | could question it

“| think that’s a good idea then. I'll go with Nancy later when you fall asleep. She agreed and | eyed her suspiciously at how quickly she had changed her mind.

After taking my meds, the sleep had began to drag me down under and that was when the entire ordeal flashed before my eyes. It was like a horror movie that | couldn’t switch off and, worse of all, | felt it all and relived it over and over again but the meds were strong enough to keep me temporarily sedated trapping me within the nightmare.

| watched it all unfold all over again. | saw Demetri drag me out of the shed still bedressed with my wounds on display with Pheobe right beside him. | saw a tall figure in the distance as | was dragged closed to it until | figured out that it had been Dante here to collect me.

He held a large duffle bag in his hand and as we had gotten closer to him stoping just a foot away from him, he looked nearly unrecognisable. The blatant fury on his face made him look like a whole different person.

Pheobe began counting and once she got to three, | was flung across the invisible trading line and Dante threw the bag of money across at the same time and soon after was when all hell had broken loose.

There wasn’t even much time for Dante to try and steady me and | had barely managed to get to my feet with his support. My back that had been faced to my captors had turned so that now | could see them. They both ruffled wildly in the bag of money and that was when | thought that it would all be done and dusted.

Pheobe had gotten what she had always wanted and | was free if their torment and assaults.. 2/5

But | had been terribly wrong.

1 watched it all unfold in slow motion. Pheobe reaching behind Demetri to retrieve a gun which she aimed right at me. | froze and my heart beat out of my chest, pounding in my cars. | stared right down the barrel of the pistol not knowing what to do next.

It is going to be fine. Do not be afraid.’ Dante whispered beside me sounding far more at ease. | found it odd that he was so laid back when a gun was literally pointed in my direction and could very well turn to his with just a small adjustment.

| heard Dante warning Pheobe, urging her to think before she did any thing rash but he didn’t know how deranged of a woman she was. The power, the control that Pheobe held right now only served to fuel her madness. Her slightly red eyes were fixed on me like she had locked me in as her

target.

Her finger moved against the trigger and | shut my eyes preparing for the blow of the bullet. Dante had seen it too because it grabbed my shoulders and shoved me out of the way just as the deafening sound of the pistol echoed through the vast expansive space.

| didn’t feel any thing but then | heard a second gun shot that came from an entirely different direction. My eyes flew open to find Pheobe crumpled to the d*rty ground.

Demetri let out an earth shattering howl before he kneeled beside her limp b*dy and began shaking her begging her to wake up. It was surprising to see such a large, physically strong man crumble to his knees.

Pheobe hadn't responded to him and my eyes were fixed on her refusing to look away. She was dead. There was no questioning that

When | actually looked away and at Dante his face was expressionless but he was not the one that had fired the shot. It seemingly had come from nowhere.

The sight of her still, unmoving b*dy covered in blood in the middle of her saturn dress had been imprinted in my mind. My dream faded in to nothingness but out of no where, Pheobe appeared with her blood shot eyes ready to pounce on me..

My b*dy jerked away from the shock and a small scream escaped me. | sat upright, my face drenched in sweat and my chest heaving rapidly trying to catch my breath.

| removed the covers from my b*dy to cool down as | wiped away the sweat from my face. | blinked several times trying to push away the images that reminded me of a reality that | would prefer to forget.

But that was the thing about reality. No matter how hard one tried to suppress it, it only came back harder to haunt us.

It

was only two days since the incident and | didn’t expect it all to just vanish from my mind but |

also hadn't expected it all to manifest as nightmares.

My hand searched for my phone which | found beneath one of the pillows. | used it as a distracted and also to check for any emails that Lucy may have sent to me that needed my attention.

There were a few notifications and emails from work but it had mostly been briefings about meetings that | had missed. | didn’t mention to Lucy what had occured but | did say that | was not well and would be out for a week or longer.

After reading through the briefings, | saw missed calls today as well but | was not caught off guard by that at all. Dante and I hadn’t spoken much the entire drive back to the city. | was quite and still reeling in from what | had been through and witnessed. Dante didn’t speak much aside from asking if | was okay and arranging for the doctor to come home immediately when we had got back.

me

| hadn't contacted him since then and | didn’t have any intention of ever doing so. It was only a matter of time before Dante showed up here for Hayley and he would surely try to approach like nothing was wrong.

| heard the rushed foot steps against the floor approaching the room and | quickly pulled the covers over me to hide the bandages since Hayley had many questions when she saw them.

“Mama, you're awake!” She exclaimed as she hopped in to her room with her hands behind her back. “I have a surprise for you.” Hayley rounded the bed excitedly and her eyes shined with eagerness. “What is it?” | looked at her expectantly trying to think of what she could possibly have behind her back.

“So, | went with Nancy to check on the roses and it was all so pretty that...” She paused and pulled. her hands out from behind her back. “I had to cut you a few.” She handed the brightest bloomed red roses to me that had foil wrapped around the stems to keep it together.

“Aww, these are lovely, Hayley.” | looked at her before taking a big sniff of the roses and it smelled fragrant. “It's a smaller bunch then the ones daddy sent for you.” She said in a small voice. “and less fancy.”

| reached out and move a few dark strands of her hair away from her face. “These mean more to me than anything, sweety. Thank you.” She grinned immediately.

“When is daddy coming over anyways? | miss him a lot. Okay, so she transitioned from avoiding addressing Dante entirely to now referring to him as her dad.

“I'm right here and | have been missing you, too, Hayley.” Dante’s voice filled the room from the door way.

Hayley ran over to him and he picked her up before twirling her around then placing her back. down on to the floor. Dante looked over to me and so much flashed through his eyes all at once

that it had me feel dizzy trying to keep up.

| reminded myself to stay strong and all the reasons why he is and should just remain the father of my child and nothing more.
