It was 9 in the morning when I plan on going back to my apartment to get some clothes and stuff to change, cause up until now Lexi was still laying on her hospital bed not knowing when is she going to wake up.
I was about to leave the hospital when I get a phone call. I get my phone to see who it is and as I realized it was one of the police officers.
I immediately pick up the phone and answer it. "Hello?". I asked on the other line.
"Hello Ms. Ximenez, can we invite you today?". The officer ask, I agree to meet with them before going to my apartment.
As early as I got in the police station they started on giving me some information about the people that they arrested at the event were Lexi got injured.
"Ms. Ximenez, we have discovered that this people are part of Kiss Kill Gang". I was paused for a moment.
"Where in the people in that gang are doing sexual harassment on their victim and force them to take drugs before killing them; perhaps is Mr. Marcus on this gang?". My forehead started to wrinkle as if my eyebrows were going to hit each other.
"A gang?". I asked in confusion.
"Yes, do you perhaps notice any behavior of your ex-boyfriend that is suspicious?". I take a back on my seat and started on flashing my memories.
Then it hit me right away, I remember when we lived together and he was always going out every midnight and coming back after three hours. He will go out wearing a normal formal suit but will come back wearing only a white polo while holding a red spider lily.
I told that to the offcer that is asking me, even though that particular moment didn't happen this time but hey maybe it was connected.
"Spider lily you said?". I can tell that the offcer was in shock by the way he ask me.
"Why is their something wrong?". I asked.
"Spider lily, especially when they are in red...it's associated with death and you said he come every night with that after going somewhere". I was left shocked my mouth did open a bit, that was really shocking.
"And other than that did you notice something else?". The officer ask once again.
"A tattoo". I remember he has a tattoo on his right shoulder.
"I remember that he has a tattoo on his right shoulder, it was a skull with a spider lily on the left part and like a blood dripping out of the skulls eye". The officer seem sad about what he have heard and was thinking twice if he should let me know, but after a few minutes of silence he speak again.
"I'm sorry to inform you, but it's confirmed Mr. Marcus is part of the gang and you are definitely in danger now". The officer said.
My world seem to stop for a moment, I didn't just marry a cheater in that life but also a killer ;oh my gosh.
After a few moments I got to my apartment but I was escorted by some police, when they found out about Marcus they didn't hesitate to send some police to assure my safety and also did the same for Lexi since she almost die because of them.
I pack some of my clothes and other necessity when I get home.
1:00 p. m
When I get back from the hospital I saw Lexi now finally awake, she's talking to her mother,feeling overjoyed I run towards her and hug her.
"You're awake, thank you". I can feel her touching my hair with so much affection on it.
"Thank you too for taking care of me". She said, I let go of her and finally face her. Her mother then excuse herself for a moment and give us some time to talk.
"My mother told me everything that had happened, thank you for not leaving me". She said and held my hand.
"She told you everything. But what about you? When will you tell me about what really happens?". I confronted her, I-I just can't live a life like this where in she continues on doing everything for me and even sacrificing herself just to save me.
"I'm sorry Val, I thought they were going to keep their promise once I did that". I was puzzled but quite have a clue.
"So you made a deal with them?". I asked, she nodded.
"Yes, that's right." She answered.
"So when did that deal happen you're with me almost everyday so when?". I was angry but trying to control my emotions.
"Remember that time when we had our first night together? That morning when I get out of your condo room I noticed some people circling around your condo". She explained and paused for a minute before continuing.
"I confronted one of them and we had a huge fight before they take me to where Marcus and Gabrielle was, then that's when the deal happened I plead to them not to hurt you and the sacrifice...was my own life". She said giving an end to my questions.
"You should have told me about that Lexi, my gosh cause what if you really die?". I said almost crying.
"Then I'd be happy cause at least I know you were safe and was going to leave a happy life". Fuck this woman I really hate her mindset, being like this, how can she sacrifice her own life for someone like me?
"Please do-don't do that again, I don't want to lose". My voice started shaking, my hands keep on trembling, I was in pain, I was in anger, my emotions were mixed up after hearing about all of those things.
"I'm sorry Val, that's the only thing I know that can save you". She whispered in my ears as I lay on her chest bursting into tears.
All I wanted was to break up with Marcus and be happy in this lifetime, I did broke up with him, but why can't I be happy?
