"Now" l told the driver.
"No please sir Connor you know you can't visit the hospital l will go check up on her for you."
"Shut up Felix, stop spurting nonsense, do you even know how l feel l feel, oh my God! It's all my fault l couldn't protect her, l couldn't she is my fiancee for f**k sake and she is dying."
"Please sir Connor you can't visit the hospital again please."
"Shut up Felix, l don't want to hear any more."
"The f**k are you still waiting for? take me to the hospital."
"But Sir."
"Just shut up and drive."
What the hell is happening, why will lzzy jump off an hospital building, why was she crying? This is bad real bad , Coma? oh no this can't happen, why do you have to do this to me Daniella, l don't know what it is but you should have endured a little more for my sake, what am l gonna do without you.
"Drive faster" l told the driver.
After the long drive we arrived the hospital.
I rushed out from the car and ran into the hospital.
"Where is Daniella Abby" l asked the the nurse at the reception worriedly
but she was busy drooling and giggling."
"I know am quite eye catching but can you tell me you where is Daniella Abby."
"Huh, hmmm emmm l mean she is in oh let me check" she blabbered out stupidly.
Stupid woman.
"She is in ward 7" she said why giggling.
"Let me show you" she offered.
But my head was spinning already, memories came rushing in.
Shelly! Shelly! Shelly! I murmured and l slumped to the floor.
The nurse got hold of me quickly.
What's happening call the doctor, bring the stretcher were the last thing l heard and everything went blank.
"What do you mean by you can't find him?" I yelled at those bunch of useless fellows.
"Please sir you should calm down there is an urgent matter."
"Yes Philip."
"It's about Daniella" he said and l got up immediately.
"What happened to her?"
"She is in Coma, she jumped off an hospital building."
"What?"
"How is that possible? Why?"
"I don't know sir but she is currently in coma."
"The f**k! Why will this happen."
"Hospital address."
"It's Decrot."
"That's the same hospital her mother was admitted."
"Yes boss."
"Take me there."
"I want to see Connor when l return cowards make sure you find him."
"Yes boss" they replied.
"Daniella what happened to you?"
I rushed to the hospital and saw my son lying face up, shivering badly and murmuring words.
What happened to my son?
"Felix what happened to my son and what's he saying, where is the doctor why is he shivering badly?"
The doctor walked in.
"You are Mrs Braxton, my pleasures to meet you."
"Save the formalities, why is my son shivering, what's happening to my son."
"Who is Shelly?"
"Shelly?"
"Yes l think this always happens to him when he recall a memory of that person, have done what l can and he will wake up soon."
"Felix have you known about this and since when."
"Since he turned Eighteen when he was shot by hoodlums and admitted, this same thing happened, it happened repeatedly whenever he visits the hospital even if it's just for check up he always end up like this that's why we called the doctor over anytime he was ambushed we feared this same thing might happen."
"My goodness! Why did you keep it away from me?"
"I thought he has gotten over Shelly but l was wrong."
"How long those it takes for him to wake up?"
"He will wake up soon, it's just an emotional stigma, that person was very dear to him that's why he ends up like this when the memories are triggered."
"Since this always happens when he visits the hospital please make sure he stops visiting the hospital."
"Why did Connor visit the hospital? Was he ambushed again?"
"No he came to see Daniella, she was admitted and his in Coma."
"What?"
"Why?"
"Where is Daniella , Daniella!"
"Connor, my son you are awake!"
"Daniella, l want to see Daniella."
"Connor please wait you are not feeling fine."
"Am fine mom, l need to see Daniella."
"Felix!"
"Yes boss"
"How long was l out?"
"A day."
"What?" Where is Daniella?"
"She is in ward 7"
"Ward 7, let's go call the doctor l need to get out from here."
"Connor!"
"Mom don't, l know you don't know but she is my fiancee and now you know she is dying and l need to see her."
"Your fiancee? Connor are you nuts? You are my son how could you make such decision?"
"You are my son and l won't..........."
"He is not your son Helen."
"He is my son.".
"Kat what are you doing here?"
"Am here to see my son."
"Mom what's going on here?
"Mom what's going on here?" Connor asked confused.
"Hello mrs Braxton."
"Brielle what are you doing here? I thought......"
"Yeah, yeah, you thought l went hiding, but how can l hide when l was yet to find out everything, l always finish what l started Mrs Braxton."
"What the f**k is happening here?"Connor yelled confusingly.
"It's nothing son, Kat can we talk privately."
"There's nothing to hide anymore Helen am here for my son and there is no going back."
"Mom, what the meaning of this? What son his she talking about?"
"Don't worry Connor l have all the answers to your questions we are going to solve everything right here and right now" Brielle said.
"Okay this is wierd." Connor muttered.
"Here! Take this and listen attentively, this is the complete record, l gave Daniella the half of it."
"Daniella?" What the heck did you give her? Was that why she wanted to commit sucide."
"Sucide!" Brielle and Mrs Newton said in unison.
"Answer me what did you give to her, what's in that record?"
"Calm down Connor, just listen to the record okay you will understand everything" Mrs Newton said.
"No l want to see Daniella."
"No you need to know this things before seeing Daniella, just stop worrying and listen Shelly will be fine" Mrs Newton said.
"What's with Shelly and Daniella, this is getting more confusing."
"Mom why aren't you saying anything."
Mrs Braxton stood frozen to the spot has she could feel her world collasping.
Nothing they say can be hidden under the sun.
"Brielle help him play the record.
Mrs Abby
"Ma'am please eat something, you haven't eaten for days the doctor said Daniella is out of danger and will wake up soon."
"Please this isn't good for your health you are still undergoing treatment."
"It's all my fault, she tried to commit suicide.
I knew she was either going to remember or find out one way or the other.
I knew this secrets won't be hidden forever."
"It's all my fault, thirteen years ago l was a pediatrician, l treated children and adolescent.
The Braxtons are held high esteemed in the whole of the US.
As you know they are the third generation family and they own the largest conglomeration in the US and my husband was fortunate to be Mr Braxton's secretary.
He was also a lawyer and a medical doctor, he was well to do.
On that fateful day, a young child was rushed in which and l later found out she was just six years old and fainted from shock.
Even in her unconscious state, she was sweating profusely.
"What happened to her?" I asked Mrs Braxton."
"This young lad saw what she wasn't supposed to, be so she fainted but l want you to tell her parents a different story when they come" she said confidently.
"With all due respect Mrs Braxton, l can't adhere to your request."
"Oh never knew you were this righteous, how about l tell the world how you killed the only heir of the Xanders with your carelessness."
The Xanders are the fifth richest and also held high esteemed and it's true l carelessly killed their son but it wasn't intentional it was a mistake l will forever regret, this was my secret and only my husband knew of it.
But how did she know about it.
"Excuse me l don't know what you are talking about" l lied.
"Hahahaha, you think l don't know, well your stupid husband told me some year ago when he was drunk."
"What? So you are the woman Abby was having an affair with!"
"You were having an affair with your husband's secretary?"
"How shameless." I said and she chuckled.
"See who is talking, barren woman, why won't he have an affair when he is married to the same gender" she mocked.
"Well that was many years ago but l can still use it against you, l have agents everywhere and this is just a piece of cake for them."
"Do what l say and l assure you that your secret will be safer with me."
"Just tell the parents that she has Dyspnea."
"What?"
"Don't question me doctor and one more thing like have said earlier she saw what she wasn't supposed to l,you know what to do wipe out all her memories not a single one should be left out, she brought it upon herself."
Few days later, l lied to Mrs Newton telling her Daniella was to undergo a surgery but to my utmost surprise and disblief Mrs Braxton told me to fake her death.
After making everyone believe she died.
Mrs Braxton asked me to kill her or send her to an orphanage since she knew nothing about her past anymore.
But l adopted her instead but never knew she was my husband's daughter never knew she wasn't Mrs Newton daughter but Mrs Braxton's, Never knew a mother could be that wicked.
And l never knew Daniella was involved with the Braxtons in anyway if l had known this wouldn't have happened.
I don't blame her at all if it were you how would you feel? Knowing all this thing's how will you react? Not less than hers .
She was been lied to all her life.
She was toyed with.
I should never have acted stupidly l should never have agreed to Mrs Braxton plans.
I should never have done what l did.
But it was all because of fear.
I was afraid.
"It's okay ma'am, Daniella will be fine, l understand everything but l think you did the best thing, if you didn't agree to Mrs Braxton's plans at that time she would have still found other ways to silence her, and maybe it would have caused her life.
It's a good thing you kept her and am grateful on her behalf, it just she allowed the pains to get a hold of her, if it happened to be me l don't know how l would have reacted either.
This things are just so unbelievable.
Thanks Ariel, it's a good thing Daniella has someone like you, what could we have done without you?
"It's okay, please eat now."
I will go check up on Daniella.
Wyatt
I got to the hospital and saw lots of familar cars parked there.
This is definitely Mrs Braxton car and that's for Brielle and the other Mrs Newton.
This cars cost millions it can't just be for anyone.
What are they doing here?
I walked into the reception and the nurses were drooling and giggling.
Assholes.
"May l know what ward is Daniella Abby?" I tried my best to ask politely.
"This Daniella girl is really lucky, the two Braxton brothers came to see her."
"What are you talking about?"
"Well your brother came to see the same Daniella but it's unfortunate he ended up admitted too."
"What! Connor is here."
"Where is he?"
"Come with me" she said while giggling.
We got to the ward, here he is she said and left.
I opened the door and froze on seeing the people inside the ward.
My guess was right they are really here but they were busy listening to some recording that they didn't even know l was there.
I stood frozen to the spot as l listened to everything.
Noooooooooooo! I yelled as the record ended and they all turned to look at me.
"Wyatt!" They called surprised.
Connor was crying already and l couldn't help it l cried too.
