The Tiger

Chapter 24

Fernando's POV

"Wake up tigru! Please don't leave me," I whispered to her and it kinda felt like deja vu. Dr. Drew walked in from the other room and I let him examine her.

"She's been hurt really bad and so she might go into early labor. We need to land as soon as possible so I can treat her," he said.

"Early labor?" I asked.

"Yeah. She's pregnant. Almost 9 weeks," he said it with ease while the sentence broke me. How could she have survived all that shit even when she was pregnant with our child? I felt like it was all my fault and I couldn't stop blaming myself for all of this fucking shit. That bastard tried to kill my tigru and my child!

"Will she be okay?" I asked him.

"I'll need to treat her first," he replied.

We landed in one of my houses in New Zealand since it was the nearest. Dr. Drew immediately started to treat her. The boys had brought Gio here. I went to the room where Gio was kept.

"Brother!" Gio exclaimed as he saw me.

"Gio!" I retorted.

"Why did you do this?"

"Because I don't like seeing you happy! When we were young, mom and dad always praised you and chose you over me. I hated that. When dad started the mafia I couldn't take it over. I knew I didn't want to take it from the person who has never been on my side. I wanted to build my own empire. You had a best friend but I had no friends and it killed me to see you that happy. So I killed Aurora. Now, you got Sarah and I knew she made you happy so I wanted to kill her too," he said and it made me angrier.

"SHE'S NOT DEAD but you sure will be," I whispered to him. I took out the whip and started whipping him. He screamed in pain.

"This is how my tigru would have felt when you hit her. Trust me, this is not even the starter. If you want to die quicker, tell me where Jacob is," I shouted at him.

"I don't know," he cried as I hit him again.

"Come on! I know you put a tracker on him. Tell me where the fuck he is Gio!" I roared at him.

"You don't deserve that sweet girl," Gio spoke and my blood boiled more.

"I think I deserve her the most," I replied, hitting him again. "Tell me where Jacob is," I shouted, repeating my action. He started laughing.

I grabbed a knife.

"Tell me where he is or say goodbye to your fingers," I said pressing it against them, blood oozing out.

"I'm telling you. Stop!"

I didn't remove the knife but just stopped pressing it.

"Malibu. Beach."

"Tell me the truth," I said again pushing the knife deeper.

"I am." he retorted back. His face seemed serious. I sent my men and Adam to look for him. But didn't kill him. He's not gonna have an easy death.

I left that fucking bastard there and went to check up on my tigru. She still hadn't opened her eyes. A team of doctors was still working on her. I went up to Dr. Drew...

"How's she?"

"We cannot surely tell why but I am really sorry..." He paused removing his glasses.

"Sorry for what?" I snapped back.

"She's gone into a coma." He patted my back and went out of the room. As soon as those words left his mouth, my brain stopped working. God, please wake her up! I want to see that priceless smile on her pretty face again. I ran to my room. I knew I would make a mess there. It seemed like the floor under my feet vanished. Why her? This was all my fault. I didn't believe her and this whole damn thing occurred. She is almost 2 and a half months pregnant and in a coma just because of me.

After almost destroying my room, I fell on my bed pulling my hair. I heard a knock on the door.

"Please fuck off whoever it is!" I shouted.

"Son you wouldn't want to talk to me like that." I heard my mother's voice, almost instantly I regretted using those words.

"Sorry. I really don't want to talk."
"You need to, dear." She said sitting beside me and rubbing my back.

"Look, I know you loved-"

"Love. I still love her and will always until I die," I corrected her.

"Yeah, love her boundlessly. But sitting here and breaking things isn't gonna wake her up."

"But..."

"No. Shh! Let me complete. Don't blame yourself, darling, you were not wrong. You know Jacob from almost your teen years and her, hardly a year. It was obvious for you to have faith in him. Please listen to me and stop blaming yourself for all the trouble she went through, cause that will only worsen your health." She said planting a soft kiss on my temple.

"How did you..?"

"I asked Jeremy."

Even though her thoughts seemed completely true, I just couldn't get myself over the fact that I was acting to be rude to her, when she did nothing but tell the truth.

"I need to tell you something very important." She said holding my hand and forcing a smile.
"What?"

"Life is full of miracles. She can get through it. She is a strong woman indeed. I know my son's choices. You can tell her things and she'll listen. People in a coma can listen. Open all your confessions to her, maybe she will wake up. Surround her with happiness. Talk to her about your problems and how you miss her. But first, apologize." 

"Thank you," I whispered. These were the only words I needed to raise a new spark of hope inside me.
