LOOSING HER

5000 Words
Dr. JASON'S POV The poison given to Cara was a very deadly one and I don't really know if she will survive it. The person that did this must have a death wish to dare the almighty Greg. Greg might be passionate, caring& attentive, but he is ruthless when provoked. His expression after telling him that she was poisoned has remained with me for 4 days now. He was really deeply hurt and there was no denial of the fact that he loved her. Cara is a fighter indeed, taking in all the pains and fighting for her life was a beautiful thing to behold. I picked up my car keys and headed straight for the door. I need to see the big dog and his woman. After checking to make sure that everything was in place, I drove off to Greg's estate. I can't stop wondering and worrying about how he is doing. His estate was as calm as a graveyard and none of the guards dared to breathe out for fear of unleashing the rot of their boss. As I stepped into his parlour, I found him looking at something I bet didn't even exist. "Greg" , I called softly before the trance left him." Are you okay", I asked again, now worried. Greg, standing up to properly greet his visitor, " I am fine Doc, good morning" he smiled. _" You are here so early" he started walking towards his bedroom with the Doctor tagging behind. "Duty calls" Dr. Jason replied. When I walked into the room, Greg walked straight to the edge of the bed, probably to observe what I was doing very well. Dr. Jason, feeling sad about the news he was about to break ." Greg, you need to let her go. She has suffered enough". Greg, now rubbing his head with his palms, " you know that's not possible. I can't. I am completely useless without her and she is in this mess because of me", he started crying all over again. Dr. Jason, looking alarmed " Greg, she has stopped breathing. s**t, this can't be happening, not now", I watched as he sat on the floor crying uncontrollably before standing up and straight to the bed. He lifted her into his arms and cradled her. Please don't go baby, I can't live in this world without you in it. I am sorry for causing you pain. Please don't leave me. He looked at Dr. With pains in his eyes, " Please wake her up Doc, I can't loose her. I have waited all my life to be with her, definitely not like this. Please wake her up Doc, I beg you with the name of God". He kept on shaking her, hoping he would wake her up, but didn't make any movement. Dr. Jason stood to leave. " I am sorry Greg, you tried your best, but I have to go with her body for autopsy". I went out and called some of the guards and, with their help, Cara's lifeless body was placed inside my car before I drove off. I am sorry buddy, but I need to do this. GREG'S POV I watched as they carried her lifeless body out of my room for further diagnosis, but I couldn't do anything. I was paralyzed and struck by lightning. Gradually, I started burning real flames before landing on the floor again. Someone should please wake me up from this nightmare. After crying for days without food, I took my bath and adorned myself in black before stepping out of my room to the dining table for breakfast. With that achieved, I walked straight to my car as the guards were already waiting and off to work. I don't care if they are all suffering because my girl suffered till she took her last breath. As I walked into my company I could hear whispers and movements. Instead of shouting " Get back to work like I normally do, I went straight into my office and dialled the number of my secret investigator and not long" he answered. Greg, " I have a job for you" he said. Unknown, Mmmm " alright boss, what is the job about" he asked. Greg, taking off his suit, " I will send the details to your email address and please be ready. I need to get to the bottom of this whole issue right away" before the line went dead. Immediately, I sat down on my executive seat, I ringed my secretary and, just like that, everybody felt the brunt. Some had files flying in their faces and others received threats of losing their jobs if they didn't take their time and, just like that, the day went by and it was time to go. Immediately Greg stepped out of his office, he couldn't believe the sight right in front of him and he started burning all over again. With one long stride, he was right in front of her shooting daggers and,, every form of weapon you can guess. Gracie, smiling. " Surprise, Greg" she said. Greg, looking at her closely, " what the hell are you doing here"?" He asked angrily. Gracie, looking a little upset, " just came to see you big daddy". She moved her fingers to touch his face, but he backed away and dragged her outside his company. I will forgive you for this attitude because I love you, but don't you dare try to embarrass me in front of your workers again. She told him. Greg, the little brat, really has to say. He hissed, " Look here woman, I don't ever want to see you anywhere near me nor my company again. Stay the hell away from me" he thundered. Gracie, nearing tears" I will report you to your father. You don't have any right to treat me this way" she shouted. Greg leaned close to her and whispered" You disgust me. I will never marry a woman like you. I had rather die than do that, so stay away from me" he said, before walking out, leaving her shocked to the bone. Gracie's POV I was in the states when information reached me that Greg had gotten married and the fact that the lady in question is a walking beauty didn't quite sit well with me, so I took the next available flight and here I am. It was all all over the news and this made me sick in the stomach. I didn't even reach my house but headed straight to this place to get disrespected. My life isn't all that beautiful to remember, even with all the money in my bloodline. I have been arrested a couple of times and my dad has always been there saving my ass. If not, I would have gone to prison by now. Coming in contact with Greg has changed a few things about me and I can't give that up. I will forgive you, Zaddy, just this once, for being a bad boy. Flash back to when my dad told me that I would be marrying his friend's son. I saw it as old-fashioned but when the pressure became too much, I had to leave our house to go and seek this man out. He was a beauty of a man and instantly, I fell in love with him. Jealousy cursed through my veins as I thought of the fact that he got married and I wasn't the bride. I won't give up on you! You are mine, trust me. I will surely get you back. No woman will take what is rightfully mine. I turned and headed straight to my car. " Take me home", I told the driver. We are not over yet, Greg. I can tell you that I can be more persistent. Finally, loving someone for the first time and this? No no no, not happening at all. She laughed wickedly. GREG'S POV Briefly after my driver took off, I called my contact "Start coming". I relaxed but still in deep thought. My father did this to me without considering the fact that I am his son. How can a human being be so evil, even to his own son? I have only just started digging to find out whom the real Parents of Cara are and now she is gone. She left me, he pushed the tears that were building up inside. I will not cry again until the culprit is found. Not long after they got home, he went straight to his bedroom, took off his clothes and dived for a cold bath. As the water touched his skin, he felt relieved, but the pain was still engraved in his heart. Greg stepped out in time to observe a drama happening at his gate as he approached the window.. Kris POV The silence in this house is beginning to deafening me. I feel for my boss. Loosing someone you love is not something one can easily get over. I hope and pray he finds peace and happiness one day because he deserves it. Suddenly, someone knocked at the gate. Who could that be? He checked the time. Hope it's not that mad lady again. You can't force someone to love. Some people don't just get it, neither do they have shame at all. I was lamenting when the knock came again and this time my anger grew as I approached the gate. I opened it to find a dirty looking guy. " What are you looking for?" Kris asked without tearing his eyes off him as he looked over it. While he was not saying " Cat got your tongue, I said who are you and what are you doing here?" I was about to bang the gate close when I heard the voice of my boss ordering me to let him in. I watched my boss as he went back to the main building, then turned to the ugly fellow still at the gate." I got my eyes on you". I shoved my fingers into his face, then stepped aside to let him in. After locking the gate, I went straight to the main building. I can't afford anyone hurting my boss again. I need to find out what this lad is up to. Isn't it that sick to let a stranger into his house or is he really sick? I kept on talking to myself. Not long after, the boss came down. Greg still couldn't believe the sight in front of him. His contact completely disguised himself into a hungry. He smiled and sat down. " Good morning everyone, as you all know, someone new has joined us today". He introduced him to the rest of the house and went back to his bedroom. Meng's POV A man needs to play safe all at the time. I started my investigation a long time ago. From the time I got there,I knew instantly that it wasn't the security man nor the driver. These people care deeply for their boss. I have made friends with everyone in the building as they mostly pitied me because of the state I was in when I first came here. The CCTV building has been wiped clean. This person is not just an ordinary person, he or she is a well-trained assassin and didn't just move in her today. Maryam, well she has refused to eat well or talk to anyone since the incident took place. She kept on blaming herself for what happened. Mostly seen crying at the back of the building. Treacy, she is always calm and reserved. Always in the kitchen preparing food or in the garden watching flowers when your boss is not home, but something about her doesn't just sit well with me. She is too perfect and quiet a muscle for a lady. They are mostly quiet and doing their chores so as not to provoke their boss. Well, I got in the kitchen too, as l love food and have to spend more time on the beauty of making the dishes. Greg's POV I still don't understand why my contact is taking so long to discover whom the culprit was. It's over 30 minutes. I informed him to come to my room but he was not there. He got tired of waiting and was about to reach the door when someone knocked," come in he said", waiting for the intruder to step in. Meng carefully opened the door and said " Good morning boss, sorry I kept you waiting", he said, smiling. Greg, not very comfortable and already losing it." Get on with it will you?" He breathed out helplessly. Gracie's POV Back to the day I returned from the states and after my encounter with Greg, I got home and went straight to look for my parents and here they are being all lovey dovey while their daughter is in misery. " Dad ! Mum! " I shouted and started crying. My mum walked up to me and hugged me. "Oh my baby, what happened to you?" She asked while rubbing my back to calm me down, but the tears wouldn't stop. I was broke for the first time in my life. O man has always treated me the way he did, like I am nothing but a worthless living being. I cried until I was tired and by now my dad was beside my mum comforting me. Mr. Richard, turning red on the face and folding his wrist " who is this i***t that made my baby cry so much" he asked. I left my mum and hugged my dad before smiling wickedly. Nobody is taking what's mine, I laughed loudly in my heart Greg's POV My contact left today with one excuse after telling me the person that committed this crime under my roof and guess who? It's a she. My father's contact has been living with me for years and I didn't know. Damn! My father has always had me where he wanted me. He has always been fast ahead of me and now I am going to take over the game. I had my guards drug and tie her up while she was fast asleep as she was a well trained assassin. She came into my house with a fake identity and my dad was the master mind of all this. Flash back to when he brought her to my house few years I moved out from my parents house. He said that she was homeless, parents died mysteriously and she needs to survive. He begged me to allow her work in my house as one of my servants, well I accepted without knowing that I was digging the grave of my love Cara. I am so sorry Cara, please forgive me for not protecting you but I will carry out this revenge for you. Anyone that has the mind to hurt you doesn't deserve to live. I dressed up and went straight to the butcher house, yes I have a torturing and butcher house in my estate but hasn't used them for once until now. I ordered them to take her to the torturing room and wipe her till she faints, which they did before bringing her to the butchering house. "Hello Bella, surprise to have been caught I guess" I brought out the gun and gently touched it on my lips. He eyes widened and that's, there was no remorse for what she did. Bella, smiling before spating on the floor " what are you still waiting for, pull the trigger and get it over with" she laughed out. Greg, boiling in anger at the audacity and bravery of the lunatic in front of him. She must really love pain so much but I make it easier for her by sending her straight to hell where she belongs. He shot her on both legs and watched as she screamed before smiling. He hit her shoulder, then her hands and this time she was already wasted. It Bella, nearing her grave now " f**k you Greg, your girl will rot in...? Before she could finish her sentence he pulled the trigger and this time straight to her forehead. Greg watched as her body was soaked in her own blood, smiled in sheer victory before turning to his guards with a stern face " Clean up the mess and dump her body at the Cemetery" he started walking to his room but turned" this is a warning to anyone of you that will dare betray me, I will cut your body into pieces and send it to your family" he watched their scared faces now satisfied with the result he headed straight to the main building with a leaving an order to send the video of what happened there to his father. He wants war, he will see war. I am ready for you father. You dared to kill the only woman that makes me happy? We shall see. He undressed, went under the shower and drowned himself in the cold first before hitting his bed for a long nap. He dreamt that she came back to him and he held her tightly whispering please don't ever leave me again. I promise to protect you with my life. I love you Cara. Meng's POV Finding the culprit was not so easy as she was properly guided and careful with her movements. In fact I lost hope of finding out who it was until one midnight, hunger struck me so badly that I went straight to the kitchen only to hear someone whispering over the phone. "Yes boss, he is fine. He will soon get over her loss" she replied "Are you sure about that? " the other man on the phone asked her "Yes , boss. The poison was a very strong one. She won't survive it" she replied again. " Good, I know that I can always count on you. I promised to take care of your family and I will. Just do your job well" he said. " Sure boss, thanks so much" before the line went dead. I quietly went back to my room after my discovery. I couldn't sleep again neither was I hungry anymore. Gezzzz! Tracy. So it has been you all this while. Pretending to love flowers and being all nature fan and here I was thinking that it was Maryan. The next thing I did was to check her data base and forwarded it to my friend to dig her out. Within minutes, here I was standing in front of my phone glancing at the biggest nightmare of all times. Tracy isn't just an assassin, she was a weapon. Has been trained for years by Greg's father before bringing her into his house. She does everything perfectly in a calm way that you will never suspect any devilish movements from her. I informed Greg about my findings and disappeared as my job is done there. But before leaving, I liked to his workers that something happened and I needed to go but will come back next time. I still can't believe that it was Tracy, I completely ruled her out. What a trained mother fucker, forming all saint but capable of ending another human being. For what gain exactly? What is wrong with people? Thank God for night cravings. Greg's POV Waking up to the sound of my phone ringing I already know who it was so I picked it up and put it on voice recording. " Hello Dad" I waited for him to shout and scream down heaven but instead he was calm like nothing happened. Does he not care that he lost his contact? Of course the devil does not give a damn about his disciples. " You did a great job son, I was already tired of that contact and her family. She played her role well while it lasted and brought me back my son. I don't care if she is dead, she was only but a tool" he laughed. Is that all life is to my father? A tool? I began to boil immediately" I see" I replied. Start getting ready for your wedding, I am glad the little brat is out of the way. You have no excuse to say no now unless you want me to react really bad" he said before the phone went dead. I quickly forwarded the voice to a new contact on my phone and relaxed back on my big king size bed that now looks like a monster trying to swallow me up. Allowing my mind to play back to the events that took place in my house. After my contact told me whom the culprit is plus the fact that she is a weapon and can't easily die like that. An idea struck me immediately. To kill the devil, you need another devil. I went to my torturing room in the night spoke with Tracy. She didn't feel remorse for what she did but I didn't care so much. My interest was to make the two demons fight each other so I worked on her mind. Tracy's POV I woke up to find someone standing right above me and my body has completely healed. Yes, I was turned into a weapon as a child and not many people know about that including Mr. Vicson, Greg's father. He believed that I can fight but didn't know that it will be hard for someone to kill me. I was offered a phone, playing the voice message and became instantly at alert. Greg was right after all, even if I died my family will not be spared. Tears were already building up. The thought of loosing my entire family sent me into serious panic.I stood up immediately and the young man gave me a car key and watched as I drove away in high speed. Nothing should happen to my family otherwise, hell will let loose and I will burn you alive Mr. Vicson. I drove straight to my house and from the outskirt of the building things were not looking well at all. Stepping inside,I saw blood everywhere and there lay the body of my parents. Following my mother's hands and eyes before she took her last breath, I found my two little siblings hidden under the table. I rushed over and hugged them both. We need to go, I told them. Everyone is gone and knowing the kind of person Mr. Vicson is, his work there is not done. He will not like to leave traces to avoid the authorities catching up with him. I took my siblings to a nearby uncompleted building and watched as the men came back and set my home ablaze. This time I couldn't hold the tears anymore, we all cried until there was no more tears left. My mind, soul and body screamed for revenge and that is what I will get. "Mr. Vicson, you can't get away with this. I will find you and burn you" I shouted. With that, I took out the phone the young man gave me and dialled Greg's line "Let's meet" I ended the call. Only two people survived in my family, the rest were murdered including our maids. I watched as my only surviving family lay on the floor exhausted after crying so badly and slept off. What would have happened if I didn't get here on time? They would have been burnt alive under that table. I felt really bad for not being able to protect my family. I agreed to work for Mr.Vicson just so I can provide for my family as my mum is bedridden and my father can't see very well again as a result of an accident that happened years back. Now, they are gone. Greg's POV Smiling to himself after getting a call from her, he quickly picked up his phone and texted her the location before getting dressed. This time, he was going to see her with his most trusted guard to avoid suspicion. He went straight for his car and his driver took off to the scheduled location. When he got there, she was already seated waiting for him. He smiled and walked up to her " Hello Tracy, we meet again" he pulled the sit back and sat down. With a straight face, " why did you call me" he asked as he relaxed on the sit. " I need a favour from you" she replied " What could that be" Greg asked looking at her closely. " I have two siblings that survived, I need you to help me keep them in your house" she replied looking down on her feet. " And What will I gain from that ridiculous favour of yours, huh"? Greg asked looking really upset. " I have the antidote for your ladies poison" Tracy replied. Greg sitting up slightly " what the hell are you saying? Cara is long gone and you are saying that you have the antidote?" Now he was burning up. God help me because I will strongly strangle this lady this time. " I am serious, she isn't dead. Just sleeping. Death will kick in, in the next two days" she replied anxiously." Look Greg, I am good at what I do, if you want to see Cara again then you must take me to were ever you kept her" she said fidgeting. She couldn't find herself to look at him after what she did and how much she saw him suffer when Cara was declared dead. This time she started crying, what the hell did I do to a poor girl." Please Greg, you must take me to her, I need to right my wrongs for once in my life" she said crying bitterly. Greg couldn't take his eyes off her and suddenly it hit him that he has been so badly hurt and mourning that he didn't bother to call Dr. Jason to know what is going on since he wanted to do an autopsy. He quickly reached for his phone and dialled his line. First ring, he didn't pick up. Cold sweat broke open on his forehead finding it's way to his nose and eyes. He wiped them off with the back of his palm and dialled again and this time he picked. " Doc, where are you, we need to see. There has been some changes for the past few days" I need to see Cara's body please" he said and started pacing. " That's not a problem, come to my house right now" Jason replied acting all normal. " Alright" Greg replied and ended the call. Why his house, what is going on here. He went into action immediately and before long they arrived at Dr. Jason's estate. Greg rushed to the door but he didn't need to knock as Jason was already at the door with the doors wide open and he went right inside shouting where is Cara, Doc? His eyes was moving around the house. " Follow me" Dr. Jason said and started walking towards his guest room. Everyone followed him immediately into the room there lay Cara. Greg rushed to her side and took her into his arms. "She can is still breathing but has not opened her eyes ever since I took her away from your house" Dr. Jason said. Greg looking at Tracy" Ain't you forgetting something?" He asked. Tracy moved closer to the bed and brought out the antidote from her bag " please open her mouth" she told him and this he obeyed without question. " This will take some time before she will wake up, maybe a few hours" she finally said after depositing the whole portion in her mouth. "Then we wait" replied Greg. He sat and watched her as her breathing slowed and picked up instantly, then sweat set in before her body became warm again. Dr. Jason went to talk with Tracy and he got to hear the whole gist of what transpired this past few days. He felt sad actually that Tracy could do something like that but was happy that she was here to help. Tracy couldn't stop saying how sorry she was and Greg wouldn't leave Cara's part for a minute. Dr. Jason excused himself and went inside to inform his maid to prepare something for everyone to eat especially for Cara. The moment she wakes up, hunger will kick. With that done, he went back to his guest room 2 hours later to find Greg already asleep curled around Cara with his hands hugging her. He smiled and went back to his sitting room where Tracy, her two siblings as she informed him and the guard are. He observed that she has relaxed and was gradually falling asleep then he crept back to his room. There's is going to be a long waiting today he said before allowing the hands of sleep to overpower him. Cara's POV I woke up to discover a huge masculine hand holding me and I can barely breathe. I tried to open my eyes a little more but the brightness was too much so I closed my eyes again before headache set in leaving me gasping for air and before I knew it I was shouting as the pain was crucial. I can hear movements in the building and the arm holding me went off immediately and next thing I heard was Doc, Jason before I went into a long peaceful slumber. Greg, immediately he sensed her body moving, he was awake and before long she started shouting in pains. He rushed off immediately to call the doctor and everyone followed him to the room. Greg was happy that Cara is alive but was sad that she was in pain. Dr. Jason had to sedate
