SEVENTY FOUR
I was nervous when I see her smile and Immediately thought that something was wrong because of the nurse’s actions. I would have liked to go back inside but what about my son’s prescription.
Prescription?
The hospital never let us buy any medicine because when they didn’t have stock they themselves used to buy it for us. Ulysses is VIP so all his needs are the hospital’s obligations.
I think, there is something wrong.
I was about to go back inside when suddenly someone covered my nose. I fought back for a while but immediately lost consciousness.
What the hell is happening?
I WOKE UP lying in bed and had a bad headache.
“Argh!” I shook my head and look around.
I immediately got up when I remembered what had happened in the parking lot. I rolled my eyes and noticed that I was in a room.
“It’s good that you’re awake, Ley, your guests have been waiting downstairs.” I turned my back and I didn’t expect to see him.
“Hunter?” He smiled at me but a smile that’s full of sadness. I looked at him from head to toe. Only this afternoon he looked presentable when I met him in the hospital. But now he looks like a beggar with so much filth and his clothes are also stained with blood.
Blood?
“Hunter, what happened to you?” I hesitated to approach him. His face is red and his eyes were obviously swollen as he came from crying and his hands are behind his back.
“Come, Ley, I’ll show you something.” He approached me to lead.
I saw his right hand holding a gun and it was also full of blood.
Oh, God! What did Hunter do?
“Hunter, why do you have a gun?” I nervously asked him but he remained calm.
“Because now I’m going to finish everything,” he replied as his eyes started to cry again.
“What do you mean?” I know Hunter well, I know if he is sad, mad, angry, or what.
Right now, the way he acts I can say that something really bad happened.
“Let’s go, Ley, come with me. Don’t worry I won’t hurt you.” I hesitated to follow him but he holds me by the elbow and slowly guided me out of the room.
I wasn’t scared for my safety because Hunter didn’t seem to have any plan to hurt me but I didn’t know why my heart was beating so fast. I am not comfortable and I feel that something bad happen.
He took me to the living room and I was shocked by what I saw.
Kyla, lying on the floor and a lot of blood kept flowing in between her legs.
“Kyla,” I shouted and immediately approached her. My hands were shaking holding Ky unconscious so I forced her to wake up. “Ky, wake up.” I slapped his cheek lightly to wake her up. I also forgot that Hunter was with us.
“Ky, can you hear me?” I asked again.
God, what happened to her?
“Hmph!” She moaned then slowly opened his eyes.
“L-ley?” she asked straining to open his eyes. I nodded at her and held her hand.
“What happened?” She did not answer my question. Her face changed direction and she immediately cried.
“V-Vince,” she whispered as she continued to cry.
I followed her gaze and my eyes widened at what I saw. Vince sitting on the floor while leaning against the wall. Bathing in his own blood which flows from his head and other parts of his body.
“Vince.” I quickly let go of Kyla and immediately approached him then forced him to wake up.
“Vince, Vince wake up.” If earlier I was angry with him for what he did to me. Now, it suddenly disappeared after I saw him.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Because despite that anger, he made me happy because he gave me Ulysses.
“L-ley,” Vince whispered then smiled when he saw me. “Ulysses, m-my my-eyes L-ley, give it to Ulysses,” then he handed me a letter. “Please, my son needs my eyes,” he cried while saying. I just took in his hand the letter and immediately pocketed it then looked at Hunter.
“Hunter what did you do!” I shouted at him but he did not answer. Seems like he doesn’t care about what happened.
“Hunter, answer me!”
“They ruined my life, Ley!” He shouted at me then raised the gun to point at Kyla. “They played on me, on us, they used us for their own happiness. They ruined my lives and they took everything on me!” he shouted back at me.
I don’t know what he’s talking to about or maybe Hunter already knows the truth. But I don’t care about it all.
What matters with me now is to save Kyla and her baby as well as Vince.
“Hunter, let’s take them to the hospital.” Hunter just shook his head as he laughed then sat on the side as nothing happen.
“I loved Kyla.” Then look at Kyla who is now awake but fainting.
“Everything she said I obeyed. Everything she asked I gave. She manipulates me to punish you and I did so she could be happy. I married her because your dad and I knew that you were the ones who tried to destroy her before. And I felt sorry for her for what you could do more. Pity existed in me because I knew you would not forgive her for what she did to you. I tried to save her from your anger. But what she repays me! Why she keeps on fooling me?!”
He holds a grudge while holding the gun tightly.
“Hunter, let’s forget what happened before,” I said while crying.
“I accepted her back even you are the one I love. I married her and I forced myself to give her back the love I once felt for her. But FUCK! why she lies to me, Ley? I accepted her even though I don’t love her anymore. But she used to get pregnant to that asshole!”
So, he already knew that Kyla is not pregnant with him.
“Hunter,” I stood up and approached him then held out one of his hands. “Enough please, have mercy on Kyla and her child. Don’t include the baby in your anger.” But he just smiled at me as he continued to cry.
I felt his hands on my cheek while his tears continue.
“Why, Ley, I also let our baby die because of her, didn’t I? So, I also don’t care about her baby to other men even the three of them die in front of me. I won’t be imprisoned either, because Kyla is my wife and she’s pregnant with someone else. So, I can kill the three of them, now.”
God! What is he thinking now?
“Hunter,”
“I love you, Ley, and my mistake is I believe her. And I can’t forgive her for fooling me since then until now.”
