Chapter 46: Michael


    “Sir, Mr. John and Mr Don are here to see you” Aurora said into the inte immediately I  picked it


    up.


    “Send them in” I called harshly as I reced the inte with a sh. Though, I''ve been going to the


    office, I''ve avoided seeing anyone in the past days that Nina has been in the hospital.


    After seeing Deborah with Austin in the hospital and Emma telling me that Deborah was happy about


    Nina''s ident, I''ve been avoiding her.


    Seeing her each day have been pure torture as I felt like strangling her for wishing dead upon my


    woman. “I hope you are innocent Deborah, because if you are not I will make sure you are put behind


    bars'''' I mumble to myself just as the door opens and John walk in followed by Don


    “John! How are you?” I ask them, motioning them over to the chair across from me. They both sat


    down.


    “Any news?”


    “Yes sir” John replied as he signal to Don to answer my question.


    “Miss Thomas is awake sir” Donald replied.


    “What?” Lillian''s awake. How? When? ” I asked them, shocked.


    Donald looked at me with a shocked expression on his face. “She woke up two days ago, I''m surprised


    you are not aware of it.”


    John was also shocked as he stared at me“ Are you trying to tell me that Miss Thomas hasn''t spoken


    with you?”


    “Yes. I guess she''s annoyed with me. Who would be?. I caused her friend''s ident. Because of me”


    “But we both know that was not your fault neither anyone else” John protested firmly as he tried to


    reason with me.


    “Anyway. I don''t hold anything against her. I mean I will have to talk to herter in the day but I will need


    the both of you to be extra vignt.

    “Yes sir” they both chorused.


    “I can''t believe that Deborah could do that to Nina. I know she hates her but_______”


    “Sir, Miss Melton is a lying bitch, I''m surprised you didn''t know about her since. She''s a scheming


    bastard” Don swore vehemently, getting annoyed. I don''t me him. His wife left him for another man


    leaving him to be hateful against all women.


    “The more reason I need you both to be vignt that''s remind me, I need you to guard Nina''s ward from


    today” I said pointing to Don. He nodded, smiling.


    I''m not leaving anything to chance especially after having heard that she was stirring, well I don''t want


    a repeat of what happened in the past.


    “But sir, what should we do with all the evidence? I''m sure you can sue them to court?” John inquired


    sitting up on the chair as he smoothened out his dark navy blue shirt.


    I smiled sadly at him “I wish it was that easy John. I don''t want to make a wrong move”.


    “Exactly boss. I agreed with you. If we should use Deborah of infidelity then we would never be able


    to bring Nina''s killer to justice ” Don replied, his face darkening  dangerously with venom in his voice.


    “That''s right. We need to find the killer first before we could use Deborah of infidelity?


    “Yes sir”


    “That will be all for now, if you will excuse me I have some things to take care of ” I exined to them


    as they both nodded and walked out of my office .


    I slumped heavily on the chair as my mind kept ying the words of Don” Miss Thomas is awake sir. ”


    Why? Lillian why?. I know what I did was bad but you shouldn''t have kept this away from me. Not even


    a call from Danny nor Andrea.


    They’ve all abandoned me to my fate.


    “Sir,Sir,!!” Aurora''s panicked voice brought out my thoughts as I turned to red at her“ What is it


    Aurora?” I questioned her with venom in my voice as I turned to look at her with disgust .


    “ Emm! I_____Mr. Alexandro is here to see you” Aurora stuttered fearfully as she avoided my eyes .


    “ I thought I told you I don''t want to see anybody for now. What part of it do you not understand ?” I


    screamed at her .


    “ I''m sorry sir” Aurora replied remorsefully as she turned to walk out of the door. She paused and


    turned to regard me slowly“ Sir , your phone has been ringing for ages. Won''t you pick it up?” With that


    she let herself out of my office. I red at her retreating back before turning to retrieve my phone from


    my back pocket.


    I stood gasping at the phone in my hand. My heart beat escted as I tried to calm myself down.


    “Hello”. I called breathlessly into the phone.


    ” Michael-Emm! Hi” Lillian''s voice calls out through the other line. I sat shocked not expecting her to call


    me.


    “ I''m sorry, I should have called you when I woke up but I was busy with the wedding preparations” She


    continued slowly , unsure of how I will respond.


    “ I''m not annoyed. I''m d that you are awake and okay. And I''m sorry about Nina”


    “ No- No- don''t say that. Nina''s ident and mine was never your fault. Though, I''m annoyed with you


    that you couldn''t fight for your love but I don''t me you for her ident ” Lilian said, as I heaved a


    sigh of relief. Thank God.


    “ I''m d you don''t think so. But I just won''t stop ming myself ”


    “ Don''t do that. Anyway I called you to know if you''ll still being to my wedding ”.


    “ Sure, I will be there ” I replied smiling but I just couldn''t stop wishing my heart that I would be going


    with Nina.


    “ Thank you. How is the preparation for your wedding going?. I heard you will be having yours a month


    after mine ” Lilian asked slowly.


    “ I _____I''m not sure yet. I need to see you and Danny, when do you think you will be free?”


    “ Why ?. Are you okay? Do you need anything ” Lilian asked with a hint of fear in her voice


    “ No , nothing. I need your help with something ”


    “Okay. I will check with Danny and get back to you ”


    “ That''s okay by me. Thank you Lilian and goodbye okay” I smiled as I hung up the call excited that I


    got to talk with Lilian. I hope Nina wakes up soon, I can''t wait to apologize to her and right my wrong.


    I came out of my thoughts as I heard amotion outside my office. I stood up to go open the door “


    What''s going on here Aurora? I screamed at her as she cowered from the sound of my voice.


    “I''m sorry sir. I didn''t mean to disturbed you but Miss Melton wanted toe in to your office but I told


    her she can''t ” Aurora exined quickly with her head bowed.


    I look from her to Deborah who stood in front of Aurora''s desk screaming at her “ Let her in” I called


    slowly to Aurora as I turned to mmed the door loudly on Deborah''s face.


    “ Michael. What''s the meaning of that ? How can you have your employee insult me? Don''t you know


    I''m your fiancee and the mother of your baby” Deborah continued nagging as she dropped her bag


    loudly in front  of me.


    “ I''m not  in the mood to exchange words with you. I''m stressed out and tired. Please just let me be,


    Deborah ” I exined slowly to her. I run my hands tiredly through my head as I regard her with


    disgust. I don''t know how a woman could behave so gullible and she doesn''t even feel remorseful for


    her actions.


    “ You''re tired. Fine. Where have you been? You haven''t beening home since Nina''s ident? ”


    Deborah asked as she sat heavily on the couch opposite mine.


    “ I''ve been with Andrea. Why? Do you have any problem with that?”


    “ No______ I mean I” Deborah stuttered  slowly, lost for words. I scoffed at her as I stood up and went


    to sit behind my table.


    “ I mean, why are you staying with Andrea ? What happened Michael? You''re changed. What


    happened to our love?” Deborah called on the verge of tears. She brought out a face towel to blow her


    nose while I ignored her. Her fakeness does not bother me anymore.


    “love? Did you just say love? Deborah, do you know the meaning of love?


    “ Of course, who doesn''t? I do” she answered rolling her eyes at me as she tried to touch me. I flinch


    out of her touch “ Don''t you dare touch me. I don''t love you and will never do. Please leave me alone.


    “But we are getting married soon” Deborah eximed shocked as she regarded me like I was joking as


    tears continue to pour down her cheeks.


    “ In your dreams. I will never get married to a bitch like you. Never!!” I screamed at her. I''m getting fed


    up with her, why can''t she see that I know all of her secrets. I wish I could tell her now to get her off my


    back forever.


    Deborah''s face hardened as she moved closer to me with so much hatred in her eyes “ Really. We are


    getting married. Whether you like it or not. I''m not giving birth to my child outside wedlock” She picked


    up her bag and turned to walk out of my office, ring at me.


    I stood up, gathered myself into my bag as I went out to the only ce that gives me peace of mind.


    Mark pulled the car into the hospital and came to open the door for me. I walked into the elevator as I


    rested my back against the wall trying to calm my overly beating heart.


    I opened the door to Nina''s ward and sat down. Her Mom was sleeping on the couch close by and Don


    was standing guard at the door.


    I took her hands in mine. Kissing it slowly, I flick her hair away from her eyes “ Be mio, I miss you so


    much. When are youing back to me?” I said bitterly, the tears were spilling down my face onto her


    hands. I sniffled and took out a handkerchief to clean my face.


    Her mom jolted away and nced at me. She smiled sadly at me before turning to walk out of the door


    to give us some privacy.


    Nina was sleeping soundly on her bed, if not for the rise and fall of her heart beat I would have been


    scared that she was dead.


    Surgery has been done to correct most of the damages on her face and body as I rub my hands


    through her palm praying in my heart that she wakes up soon.


    “Be mio, pleasee back to me. I promise to fight for our love. I will fight for you” I sobbed as I


    rested my head on her hand crying profusely.


    I wish I could do anything for her toe back to her parents. Her brother has not been going to


    school because of his sister and he has been avoiding me. And I know that Lilian is annoyed with me


    though, she won''t say it.


    “ Tesoro, I love you so much. And I will do anything for you. I wish all my money could bring you back to


    me, I would have done it for you because I love you” I whisper into her palm.


    My phone ringing in my back pocket causes me to stand up, I peck her lightly on her forehead and turn


    to walk out while pulling the phone out of my pocket .


    “ Hello Lilian ” I answer immediately, while nodding at Don at the door. Mrs Miller greeted me in the


    hallway before she walked back into her daughter''s ward.


    “ Okay. Let''s meet at Lush Beauty.Yes. I will see you tomorrow. Bye. Thank you ” I replied and hung up


    as I got into the car.


    Mark wordlessly put the car into reverse as he drove me to my parent''s house where I''ve been staying


    for a while now.
