The Billlionaire’s true love

Two bullets

George’s POV

Okay the coffee was maybe an excuse, I just needed some space from my dad, how am I meant to tell Emily all of this? She’s going to hate me!

What if she thinks I already knew all about this?

No she wouldn’t think that I mean I didn’t even know who she wm until just now, and my dad and mum how have they kept all this to themselves for twenty years! My bloody business partner, is actually the girl I love! If I knew this all before though I maybe wouldn’t of even wanted her, I’d she knew all this before she met me, she maybe wouldn’t of wanted me either.

“Eurgh I need to stop thinking about all of this” I say mumbling to myself.

“Is everything okay George? How’s Emily” a voice says gently behind me.

It’s Layla oh s**t it’s Layla I forgot she was with me.

“Erm yeh Emily’s going to be okay hopefully she’s in surgery now” I reply calmly whilst getting my coffee and taking a seat next to her in the canteen.

“Why was your dad here George and why is he Emily’s next of Kin” Layla said calmly I could tell looking at her she wanted answers.

“Look Layla I have only just found all this out myself, My dad is Emily’s next of kin but to be honest I think I need to explain all this to Emily herself first, I would feel bad people knowing the truth before her” I say to Layla whilst placing my hand on top of her.

“Have you lied to her George? I don’t think she could take anything like that, she doesn’t trust easy you know? Please don’t hurt her” Layla says whilst now rubbing the tears that are pouring from her eyes.

What a mess I move seats next to Layla and wrap her up in my arms. I hope she know I would never hurt Emily, jeez if anything I love her she’s amazing and so perfect.

“No Layla I haven’t lied to her but when she wakes up I need to tell her everything I’ve just found out, it’s very important. But she will be okay I will make sure I don’t hurt her, I promise you Layla” I say whilst trying to comfort her. Her head raises from my chest, her cheeks all flustered and tears still streaming out.

“I believe you George” she said .

Just four words but they were four words I needed to hear right now.

Myself and Layla drunk our coffees, we had very little small talk. My father said they operation would take five hours it’s now been six hours. Surely she must be out soon.

“I’m going to go see if there’s a nurse Layla she was meant to be out an hour ago” I said calmly

Layla just nodded, you could tell she was worried just as much as me.

I approached the reception desk can tell we have been here a while now I’ve seen three different receptionists swap over from shifts. Now it’s a slim blonde on the desk must only be in her early twenties, can already tell she is trying to get my attention before I even say anything to her with the way she’s playing with her hair.

“How can I help sir” she says whilst smiling as wide as possible at me.

“I’m wanting to know how my girlfriend is. Emily Green? She’s in surgery” I say whilst hoping the world girlfriend will shut down her flirting before it starts.

“Yes I will get a doctor to come speak to you as soon as possible” she says with less sod a smile now.

“Thank you miss” I say politely and walk back to the waiting room.

It’s very awkward my dad has said very little, to be honest I don’t blame him every time he has tried I’ve just shut him down I’ve not even given him chance to explain anymore let alone needed him to tell me she was going to be okay.

And Layla well god love her she doesn’t even know what’s going on properly so keeps giving my dad the daggers when he’s saying she will be okay. And gives me bigger daggers when I won’t even talk to my dad. God it would be a lot easier if she knew what was actually going on but I would feel so bad on Emily if she thought she was the last to know about her own past and I told her best friend before I told her. I need to do what’s write for Emily, I’m sure Layla understands this.

“Mr Green” the doctor says politely

“Yes” both me and my dad say at the same time.

“Mr Frank Green” the doctor re says.

Seriously still needing to talk to my bloody dad it’s my girlfriend!

“Yes that’s me” my dad says calmly probably aware I’m getting mad.

“Can I talk to you in private” the doctor says quite matter of fact.

“It’s okay you can talk here this is my son who is also Emily’s boyfriend and this is Emily’s best friend Layla, they both care for Emily a lot and need to hear what ever you have to say” my dad says, finally he says something useful, I give him a small nod of gratitude.

“Very well, Mr Frame. We have managed to do the operation, we did hit a slight problem whilst operating but we believe Emily shall make a full recovery” the doctor says politely.

“What problem was this?” I said quite matter of fact.

“Well sir, the bullet was lodged in her lung but we also found a second bullet and it has damaged one of her ovaries, meaning her chances of having children now are a lot less we are unsure what or how much damage has been done with her fertility but we can work with Emily on this when the time is right” the doctor simply states.

“A second bullet?” I ask confused.

“Someone did say they heard two gun shots” Layla said.

“These were two different bullets from different guns” the doctor stated “we’ve bagged them for the police so they can investigate. Emily can see you in a couple of hours she’s sedated but we need to make sure she’s stable before we bring her round she’s been through a lot” the doctor says whilst smiling and begins walking a way.
