After the doctor recovered from his shock, he answered , ” The young man is out of danger but has to be observed incase his wound gets infected.” He said and strode away. Stacy could not breath at ease. She was worried that something would happen to gabriel. After the girls made sure that the guy was alright, they bid their goodbye and left with their partners. Now only Stacy remained at the hospital to take care of her man. She pushed the door open and entered the room as quietly as possible. She did not want to disturb his sleep. Stacy moved near the bed and pulled the chair closer before sitting and holding his hands. The remorse of letting something happen to him was gnawing at her heart, making her uncomfortable. It did not help when she remembered that Gabriel was in this case because he had tried to protect her by taking the knife. The sight of him lying on the ground, covered in blood made her take a memory lane back to the day she lost her younger brother due to a similar incident. That thought was enough to trigger her mania which she had suppressed for years. she knew she could not bear to lose him. He was important to her. Although the two got entangled in an unpleasant manner, the guy had made a place in her heart without her knowing.
At first, Stacy thought it was about the sex. It was great but recently, she started missing him, especially when she went to work and he was left alone at the house. She would find herself trying to finish her work earlier so as to go back to him. She enjoyed teasing him, making him all flustered. She also loved his company even when everyone was busy doing his or her own things. Even with the silence, it was still comfortable. She loved it when she took care of him as a dutiful wife. But it was only today, when he was wounded and struggling to live telling her that he did not want to die that she realised she also could not take it if something happened to her. it was until that moment that she realized he was more of a fuck buddy. he was the man she loved. That realisation had been a huge blow to her mind but was thankful she realised it before it was too late.
Holding his hands ever so gently, Stacy started caressing them lovingly. He was the man for her. Her better half and from today onwards, she would do anything to keep him happy. she decided. Looking at his pale face, she found him beautiful. He had the sexiest lips she has ever seen, they tasted good too, she could affirm that. His brows were well crafted and his eyelashes resembled butterfly wings. His nose was pointed and had well prominent cheekbones. calling him handsome was belittling him. He was a piece of art, more of a male fairy. Her little fingers found themselves tracing every contour of his face. If beauty was a sin, then Gabriel was a big sinner. God surely took his time and effort in crafting him. Stacy remembered a poem she learned in her literature classes back in senior secondary.
Unparalleled beauty, worth the praiseBelonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
a maiden, resembling a starry night
beautiful to gaze, forbidden to touch
a deadly weapon, to the mankind
But in this case it was not maiden, but a man . Whose beauty was intoxicating, like a thousand old wine. This beauty was hers. Here’s to corrupt, hers to own, here’s to possess, hers to dominate and she couldn’t be any happier.
Lost in thoughts, she did not realise when two people entered the room. Two ladies. It was until she saw an elderly woman standing on the other side of the bed that she regained her composure. “doctor Rose.” stacy greeted. The lady before her was her senior in the field of medicine and also Gabriel’s biological mother. She was the same lady who urged stacy to take responsibility after accidentally sleeping with Gabriel. The woman said nothing to acknowledge Stacy’s greetings and Stacy concluded that she was angry. Who would not be? This was her son after all laying in the bed unable to wake up. ” What happened?” She asked after watching her son for a while. ” Attacked by the rebels.” Stacy answered. Silence enveloped the room after stacy answered. She did not know what the other party was thinking about so Stacy opted to remain quiet. ” I am taking him back abroad. It is not safe here and you are incapable of protecting him. I can’t let anything happen to him .” her words echoed inside the room slicing through Stacy’s heart like poisoned arrows. She could feel the immense pain shooting from her heart and spreading all through her body.
Stacy wanted to open her mouth and say that she was capable of protecting Gabriel but decided against it. It was of no use. Doctor Rose was known for being stubborn and not changing her mind, but she still said at last. ” can you wait until he wakes up, i have something to tell him.” She could only negotiate because persuading the elderly woman was nothing but a waste of time. ” I don’t have much time here, if he does not wake up by tomorrow, I will leave regardless.” The woman said with absolute finality and Stacy could only hope Gabriel wakes up as soon as possible. ” Aunt, why did you agree with her? Gab is already in danger and staying here even for hours is like putting him in more danger..” A crispy voice echoed in the room and Stacy turned to look at the source of the voice. a young and beautiful woman dressed in a white dress stood there with a worried expression on her face. But Stacy will not fall for her fakeness. She was an ideal lotus lady. Stacy snickered inwardly. she must be someone with inappropriate intentions towards her man.
