Alex's POV
"But anyway what's it gonna be Alex, any slight push from me now and Jasmine will really fall of the cliff, so what's your decision?" Ryan asked.
I looked at Emma, she looked so angry and she kept shaking her head signifying that I shouldn't do it.
Then I looked at Jasmine, she's in tears, she looked so scared, none of this is her fault, none of this have anything to with her, I can't let loose her life because of me, I can't.
I slowly took the recorder and Emma shouted.
"Don't do it Alex, don't."
"I don't want to but I have no choice" I said to Emma.
I pressed record and said everything Ryan instructed.
"My name is Alexander Sanchez and I am responsible for the complication that happened during the Prime Minister's daughter surgery, I injected her with Cemptrofin, a drug that induces heart failure because I wanted to kill the Prime Minister's daughter during surgery" I said and then stopped the recording.
"Wow that was great" Ryan said. "Now I want you to stand up slowly and hand me the recorder and no funny plans Alex, need I remind you just a little push from me and Jasmine is already down the Cliff."
I slowly stood up and handed the recorder to Ryan.
"This was much easier than I thought, anyway it was fun doing business with you" he said as he let go of Jasmine, quickly went to his car and drove off.
Jasmine fell to the ground and I quickly ran up to her.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
"I'm sorry Alex, am so sorry" Jasmine said weakly.
"Hey, it's not your fault, now stop talking or you might really pass out cause you are too weak."
I carried her to the car and Emma drove us back to the hotel.
It was obvious that she was angry but she kept silent.
We got to the hotel and I carried Jamine out of the car.
"Are you coming?" I asked Emma but she didn't say a word and drove straight to the Parking lot.
I carried Jasmine back to our suite and laid her on the couch.
"I'm sorry for all you went through Jasmine, you should rest so that you can regain your strength" I said.
"No Alex" she said as she tried to sit up and I helped her.
"All my life, I've always carried myself with pride because I've always tried my best not to be selfish and make a good decision. But today I was selfish Alex, I thought I was strong but.... but the moment I realized I might really die, those strength collapsed. Alex I wanted was to save my life regardless of what I had to do" she said as a tear rolled down her face. No
"If this is about the recording I made then don't blame yourself, I made the decision myself."
"No, that's not the main reason I'm apologising" she said and then sobbed. "Ryan..... He wanted me to leave you and come work for him, at first I said no but the moment I was standing a few paces away from that cliff, I agreed Alex, I agreed to betray you and work for Ryan, I deeply regret it but what scares me the most is that I might make the same decision again if am put in such a similar situation, am not as strong as I thought I was Alex and am so sorry" she cried.
"It's not your fault Jasmine, you almost lost your life, anyone would make the same decision if the were in your shoes."
"Am really sorry Alex" she said and I hugged her.
"I said it's okay" I said and then laid her down. "You should rest, I'll go get some drugs that'll help you regain your strength quickly."
She nodded and I stood up and walked out of the room then I met Emma and she walked up to me.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
"Sure, how's Jasmine?" She asked.
"She's resting, I am going to go get some drugs for her" I said and she nodded.
"About what happened today, you said something about saving me that night..." I said and she interrupted.
"I just meant I saved you that day from the fire and you shouldn't take any of the things I said back then to heart, I was just worked up" she said.
"Sure?" I asked.
"Yeah, you should go get the drugs for Jasmine" she said and I nodded.
"Thanks for everything you did today" I said.
"You welcome" she said with a smile and I was about walking away when she called me back.
"What are you going to do if Ryan takes that recording to the police station?" She asked.
"I'm not sure yet" I said.
"You must not loose your medical license Alex neither should your image be tarnished, you are part of a bigger plan and nothing must go wrong" Emma said.
"Again, you are saying things I don't understand."
"I'm just trying to say you have a great future and you shouldn't let Ryan ruin it" she said.
"Don't worry Emma, I know what I went through to get to where I am today, I had to go through a lot of hardships and a cycle of loneliness and endurance cause being a surgeon was really hard for me. I won't let Ryan ruin everything I've worked hard for, he won't win so easily, I'll find a solution to this, I definitely will" I said and she smile.
"It's a good thing you are determined, you should go now" she said.
"Later then" I said and left.
