Raymond's POV
I keep on tapping Anna's cheeks but she is not responding, I ordered the fairy wheel to be stopped. Chloe was also trying her best to wake Anna up,the fairy wheel stopped and I carried Anna to a nearby bench. I laid Anna gently on the bench,why did she do this to me? She knew she has a phobia for heights, will a simple NO hurt her. If Chloe had not insisted on taking the fairy wheel,Anna won't get into this mess.
"Chloe I knew you were up to something the moment you asked us to pretend we are your parents" I said these words harshly not caring if I hurt Chloe or not,it doesn't concern me, "Uncle Ray,calm down I was only trying to help you guys" Chloe replied bluntly. "Did I ask you for help?" I yelled at her, the people looked at me as if I'm the bad guy. "Now see what you've done" I said in a low voice, "You guys had chemistry and I only wanted to help you, why do you keep blaming me?" Chloe yelled back with her tiny voice.
It's of no use bickering with Chloe,"When is the ambulance coming? Why is it so late? If she dies I'm locking down this place" I yelled at the attendant. I removed my sunshade, I don't even have the time to clean up the beads of sweats on my forehead. I keep tapping Anna hoping she will wake up, I glanced at Chloe. "You read Medical books are you not supposed to know the solution" I said coldly, "Well I don't really know if it works,how do I put it,kiss her to give her oxygen" Chloe explained. Why didn't I think of this before, I didn't waste the next minute,I opened Anna's lips and started transferring oxygen, "Sir the Ambulance is here" the attendant announced.
In a swift I carried Anna and rushed toward the ambulance,I laid her on the stretcher and the medicals started fixing different needles on her body. The ambulance started moving, Chloe was discussing somethings I don't understand with one of the doctors, "Daddy she will be fine" Chloe said softly, "Chloe not again. Please" I replied her coldly. "Sir don't get too worked up,your wife will be fine and don't get angry with your daughter. She is such a clever girl,she gave me medical reports already,and that really helped in our treatment" One of the female doctors with blonde hair explained with a gentle smile but I'm in no mood for that I just scoffed. "You can explain this to me when she is fine" I replied harshly.
Soon we got to the hospital, Anna was taken to the VIP ward, the machine beeping was a good sign she is still alive,Anna will twitch her face sometimes like she is fighting something or someone, "Uncle Ray I'm really sorry I was only trying to make you guys see you are in love with each other. I didn't know it will turn out like this" Chloe said looking down,my heart melt at Chloe's kind gesture. I pulled her tiny body into a firm hug, I realized how much I love Chloe,she even switched to her childish mode just for me and Anna. I know Chloe doesn't like behaving like a kid she sees as a boring stuff, sometimes I wonder if she is truly eight.
"How can I stay angry with you? You are my little devil oops little princess" I teased Chloe,"I will make sure I teach your children how to become little devil like me" She said,"No lovely Princess. I will like to have a daughter as sweet as you" I said trying to praise her, "Dad! Am I not your daughter?" Chloe screamed with dissatisfaction, "Oh yes you are my daughter,are you hungry?" I asked Chloe trying to be as sweet as possible. "Let's go to the hospital restaurant dad"Chloe said happily. I held her tiny fingers as we walked towards the restaurant, "Wow such a cute dad and daughter duo." "Don't you recognize him?" "Who is he?" "He is the billionaire CEO" "Really when did he get married?" "Such a shame he has a family I would have married him" I hear whisper as we sat down in one of the table arranged in the hall, "Chloe sit here I will get food for us" I said and walked towards the counter I ordered and paid for the food.
As I walked towards the table I can hear whisper on my appearance and I love it when people praise my looks. "Daddy you are late,we left only mommy in the ward,she must me missing us" Chloe screamed,this girl is a drama queen. I placed the trays on the table,"I'm sorry let's hurry up okay?" I said and Chloe nodded happily. I don't know why Chloe is putting on all these drama but I'm sure she is trying to teach someone a lesson. After we finished our food we walked back to Anna's ward, Chloe did not stop calling me Daddy and talking about Anna as her mommy.
We waited till evening before retired back home, Anna is still in coma, I called Ava to forward all the documents through email. The next day I drove Anna to the hospital after breakfast, Mike and his wife joined us. They went to see the doctor in charge of Anna's treatment so they can talk. Mike was a bit flustered because Chloe forced us to the amusement park but I calmed him down.
General POV
Somewhere in Nashville
"So what plans do you have now?" Ava asked raising a brow, "Well I don't have one,you know I have to hide I'm still wanted" Jake replied with a bitter smile, he blame his greediness for all this mess. Jake looked at the woman in front of him,he smirked and licked his lips seductively. This woman always turn him on with her exposed cleavages everytime they meet. He is not really interested in Anna,he now wants this woman.
Ava scoffed "Then why am I paying you?" She asked with a questioning look, "I didn't know someone will protect her,you promised to get the person." Jake replied still staring at her boobs, "I have not got the chance to look into it properly Jake" Ava replied seductively. Ava adjusted her dress and posture, giving Jake the green signal. They were both filled with lust,Jake smiled he knows that what she wanted,aren't all female bitchy?.
Using one of his fingers to signal "come over" to Ava, Ava stood up seductively and catwalked with her six inches heels making rhythm due to the friction between her heels and the tiled floor. She sat on Jake's lap and launched directly into his mouth,her tongue slide skilfully into his mouth,Jake moan softly her warm tongue is making wonders,he is in cloud 9. Ava started undoing his buttons,Jake pushed her on the sofa without breaking the kiss he worked his fingers on Ava's curves, "Be my bitch" Jake said in an hoarse voice, "Yes make me you bitch" Ava replied as she quiver under his intense touch.
Ava couldn't take his teasing anymore, her desires are at the peak,she really want to do this with Raymond but he won't even take a glance her, she decided to enjoy the moment. "Jake fuck me already" Ava screamed,she want to feel the real pleasure, "Okay " Jake said and ripped off Ava's clothes. Their moans filled the room, "yeeesssss I'm coming,fuck your bitch Jake, yesss yessss" Ava screamed as she felt a wave of pleasure,she reached her first orgasm but Jake continued until they are both satisfied. The room became hot accompanied with the aroma of their love juice. Ava washed herself and wore one of Amanda's dress,she drove out of Jake's hideout satisfied.
Ava's POV
I reached for my phone as it keeps on ringing non stop, "Yes what do you want so early in the morning" I said not knowing who's on the phone, "Well the time is 2:46PM,that's none of my business. Come to the amusement park near the city hall ASAP"Jessie screamed at the other side. I realized I woke up late today. Thank God today is Saturday, a little blush crept on my face as I remember my activities with Jake he is so goooood. I jumped into the bathroom and wore one of my lazy day outfit, black leather trousers, armless crop top with a black leather jacket I picked a black face cap from the rack.
I entered my car and started the engine,I drove down to the amusement park, it must be an important stuff Jessie or I'm going to kill you. I parked properly in the provided space. I called Jessie and she told me to walk inside towards the biggest ice cream stall. I froze on the spot, I smiled as soon as I recognize him, Raymond in amusement park is very rare, "mom and dad let's take pictures" I heard a familiar voice,I looked at the direction of the voice and it was the annoying girl that always disturb Raymond. I don't know the type of connection she has with Raymond but I hate her because Raymond cares for her and even pampered her but it's been up to two years since I've seen her. Is she Raymond's daughter? How could he possibly have a daughter with Anna? Jessie dragged me to a corner, "I think they are really her parents" Jessie whispered into my ear, I got angry.
Why will he hide the fact that he has a family from me,I crushed on him for five good years. "Having a family does not hinder you from getting what you want right?" Jessie whispered again,then I felt all the anger I feel just now fading away. "Yes you are right,let's just watch them for today we will find out the loopholes in their relationship" I whispered back into jessie's ear. "That's my Ava,get what's your girl" Jessie hailed. While taking pictures the little girl asked them to take couple pictures,she even gave them an intimate pose,I fumed with anger. They left the ice cream stall and we followed them,the girl asked them to enter to enter the bouncy castle with her and the agreed, Raymond was looking at Anna through their jump,they will fall on each other sometimes,I kept my cool I can't ruin this.
The went towards the fairy wheel, didn't they have enough fun? The girl kept calling them mom and dad, "Ava I want to use the bathroom,it will take at least 30 minutes for them to finish the first ride" Jessie said, I also want to use the bathroom, "let's go together I also want to use the bathroo0m" I said we both walked towards the bathroom. Ppp On our way back we decided to grab ice cream since we still have time, we talked about random stuffs while eating the ice cream. I gisted Jessie about my activities with Jake and I promised her threesome with Jake. "Okay break over let's go" I said and Jessie followed me quietly.
"Ava do you think thirty minutes is over? Even if thirty minutes is over the second ride would have taken place right?" Jessie asked, it's true maybe technical issues, "I can't believe a woman fainted" one of the girls walking by said, "I heard she has a phobia, the husband was blaming their daughter" another said, "But cuteness lives in that family, the husband is like a Handsome devil, the wife too looks beautiful without make up" another said. I glanced at Jessie and we walked the wheel looking for Raymond. I was shocked, "Ava they were talking about them" Jessie screamed, the staffs did not allow people go near them, suddenly Raymond place his lips on Anna's lips, "that bitch even pretend to be sick just to get a kiss. Tch so shamelessly" I said, "Why will she do that? Let's follow them I think the ambulance us here to take her" Jessie said.
We rushed towards my car so as not to miss them I exceeded the driving limits, they rushed her towards the VIP ward, we couldn't go with them so we stayed outside. Hours later Raymond came back with the little girl she was just screaming daddy this, daddy that and I got really annoyed and they headed towards the hospitals cafeteria,we followed them. Raymond left to get their food, the girl screamed again "Daddy you are late! We left only mommy in the ward she must be missing us". I stormed out of the hospital in anger and despair, we were meant to be together, it's getting late I drove towards one of our favorite bars. I just want to drink, I continue ordering for more drink. I don't know why I feel a stab in my heart. That girl I must get her,she is making things complicated for me when I almost grab Raymond. I did not know when I passed out, even in my dreams Anna mocked me. I won't let her or her daughter win.
Anna's POV
I found myself in a beautiful garden the scents from the flowers feels so refreshing. A beautiful butterfly perched on a purple hibiscus flower I tried to catch it but it flew away the moment I tried to touch it. This butterfly is so captivating I must get it,I followed the butterfly till I got to a road. This rood looks familiar it's raining,why does it feel like a deja vu? A car was moving towards me, it has lost control, why does everything feel familiar. The car screeched to halt on the edge of a cliff. I ran towards the car, I opened the driver door and the face was so familiar. "Dad" I called out, "Anna my little Angel it's me your dad" the man replied. I checked the passenger seat there are two more people in the car a woman and a little girl. "Mom" I called out. "Mi tesoro(my treasure)" my mother called out.
I really miss these faces,my mother is Italian so she find of calling me that name, I cried oh I really want to hug them. "My little angel I'm sorry I couldn't fulfill my promise of walking you down the aisle. I see you found the man who truly love you,I can rest in peace now" dad said gasping for breath, "Mi tesoro,we are always with you. Please take care of yourself and protect our boutique,I'm sorry that's the only thing we could leave for you" Mom said as her breathing gets shallow, "stop talking let me rescue you,I will save you mom and dad" I said trying to get them out of the car, "It's too late little angel. We love you remember that" Dad said, "Mi tesoro I'm sorry we didn't get to say a proper good bye. We love you" mom said and they both vanished. I felt two strong arms on my waist, "Don't worry you are safe" A husky baritone said,this voice sounds familiar.
I turned around and I was surprised, "Raymond is that you? Are you going to vanish and leave me like my parents?" I asked him amidst my tears. I feel frustrated,sad and tired, I was happy to see my parents and the next minute the left me alone. "I will never leave you Anna I promise" Raymond replied and pulled me into a firm hug. Then everything became still, I feel safe and happy, I don't really know why but I just like this feeling. This is perfect I want it to remain like this, is Raymond the person my dad was talking about? "Don't you dare leave me Raymond" I said sharply, "I won't leave,Anna promise you won't leave me too" Raymond replied,"I promise I won't leave you,you are my...." I was unable to finish my sentence before a strong wind pulled me away from Raymond.
Now everywhere is dark, where is Raymond? What about my parents? How did I get here? "Haaaahaaaaaa, I will destroy you. You can't run away from me,you are mine" I heard a scary voice said, "who are you? What did you do to me? How did I get here? Where is Raymond?" I asked the questions without taking a breath,all I could hear as a reply was evil laugh. I got scared I started shivering, I sat down and hug my leg, "it's cold" I said. "Anna are you awake?" I heard a familiar husky baritone again,my heart leapt in joy.
I opened my eyes slowly trying to adjust to the light,did I go blind? Or was I addicted to the darkness? I saw several people in white coat and a pair of almond eyes looking at me, it's Raymond his eyes was filled with tears. Raymond does not cry, "Did you cry for me?" I asked him softly my throat feels dry, "I.....I thought I will never see you again Anna" he replied, my heart melt. I felt wetness in my eyes and I allowed them to flow, no one has ever worried for me except for my parents. "Thank you Raymond" I said to him, I feel a tiny hands holding my right hand firmly, "Aunt Anna it's all my fault I should have forced you to enter the fairy wheel with me,I'm sorry" Chloe's tiny voice melt my heart,"Come"I said to her and she walked towards me.
I hugged her firmly "Why should I forgive you when you did not offend me? Should I scold my daughter?" I said and wiped her tears with my thumb,"you were in coma for two weeks" Chloe blurted out. "Really I was here for that long?" I asked trying to be sure, "Yes Anna but you are fine now,you just have to rest" Raymond said and I smiled. "Raymond I had a dream it feels so real, I met my parents but they left me. Raymond they were in great pain before they died. Then you came over and hugged me, but a strong wind separated us" I frowned as I finish the last part of my dream. Raymond stroked my hair, "don't worry no one will seoerate us" he said. Each stroke make me drift back to sleep, this time it was a peaceful one.
I woke up, Raymond handed a glass of water to me, I tried to hold the glass but my hands was shaking, Raymond collected the glass and placed the glass on my lips. After I finished the glass I asked for two more glasses before I get satisfied. "Don't worry much,it is because she just woke up and she was in coma for almost three weeks" Marie explained to Raymond. "I understand Marie, Anna are you hungry? Marie made some homemade food for you" Raymond said and I nodded my head,I'm really hungry I can't believe I did not eat for close to three weeks.
After I finished my food Mike entered and we chatted for a little while before he went outside with Raymond. Marie and Chloe chatted with before Marie rushed out because there is an emergency, Chloe and I talked before I slowly drifted back to sleep. I feel at peace, I feel so safe only because of Raymond. I just realized how much I mean to him, I think I'm in love with him, I didn't fall in love with him because of his money or looks. I just fell in love with the ordinary Raymond Quin, I remembered how he looks peaceful when we were jumping in the bouncy castle, he held me with care,he was afraid of me falling down. His hugs make me feel safe,he was there when I needed him the most.
We lived together in the same room and he did not take advantage of me for once, even when I was rude to him he smiled at me instead of getting angry. When he felt Nashville is not safe for me he allowed me to stay in his house and even prepared a luxurious office and workshops for my sake. He makes me happy even when he teased me I feel happy. What else do I need? Raymond is my Knight in Shinny armour. He is definitely the one my dad said, I hate to compare him with Jake but the difference between them is glaring. Raymond will never raise his hands on me while I was just a punching bag to Jake.
Oh I regret meeting Jake,the worst day of my life was the day I saw Jake. But Raymond filled my life with sweetness, he changed my life, but what if he does not like me? What if I'm not his type of woman? What if he is just doing all of these because he wants something from me? Anna pull yourself together, Raymond has more than enough and Raymond is not Jake. Yes they are not the same,the is a vast difference between them. My mission now to find out if Raymond also likes me.
