Stay

Chapter 35--- Insidious

Hagel's POV

I sat in my truck for  a few minutes, watching after her back even though she had long disappeared into the house.  Maybe I should let her be for a while, she probably needs time alone.
Who wouldn't? After I had acted like a douche to her at the penthouse.

I stepped out of the truck and headed for my place in the garden.
That's when I heard it.

That loud single shout of fear, a shriek coming from the main house.
In a second, I sprinted towards the sound as the hall lights lit.
The air rushed out of my lungs as I came face to face with the most scariest sight I've ever encountered.

Hazel...

Lying at the tip of the stairs unconscious, her red hair dipped in blood.
In a second, I was beside her, yelling at the frightened Rosita to call an ambulance.

I could barely register the presence of my mother, Fiona and the sobbing Bethany and Jayden around me.
All I could think of was murdering someone.
Any goddamn sonofabitch who did this to her.

" Who did this! What happened?!" I yell as I watched their god-damned faces. But nobody's face gave a thing away. They all looked shocked and even scared.
But I know one of them did it, if not two.
Those bloody suckers!.

Before I could decide whose neck to break first, the ambulance and the police came. I helped carry her onto the stretcher but before I jumped into the ambulance, I looked at the faces of those people I called family and then swore to myself, I'll make whoever did this pay.

Even if it's the last thing I do!.

***†***
They had to perform an immediate surgery on her.
I paced the waiting room for God knows how long, my mind working fast.
Earlier, the police had come to question me.
I told them everything I Know and they assured me they'd find the culprit.
But that didn't satisfy me.
I want to find the bastard myself and have my way with him or her.
Imbeciles!

Someone fucken pushed her from the stairs!.
Why do they hate her so much? Why!
The chance of it being Jayden would be 30/70. The bastard still wants her, he would rather hurt everyone else just to have Hazel back.

The chance of it being Bethany is 70/30. The witch hates her sister's guts. But Bethany wouldn't do it herself, she'd rather get someone to do her dirty work. Why would she do that now? Especially since she knows I'm with Hazel. She knows Hazel is no longer a threat to her marriage because Hazel has feelings for me. She probably didn't do this one....or?.

Vidal.
No. Vidal is all bark and not bite. She can be frightening and cruel sometimes but she wouldn't do that right?.
She can do that.
She can do pretty ugly stuff when angry. And she seems to hate Hazel so much. There's a fifty percent chance she did it.

However none of them is as guilty as Fiona. If anybody would do that, it's her. Especially after her fight with Hazel. Fiona can be evil when she hates someone as much as she hates the very being of Hazel.

I'm done playing nice with any of them, they're all going to pay.
" I swear".

I marched to the doctor as he approached me.
" How's she?" I asked frantically.
" Well she's okay. She hurt her head pretty bad and bruised the old wound. But the surgery was successful we were able to stop blood rush to her brain. She needs to rest for now and recover"the doctor said.

I sighed softly, scrubbing my face as I prayed a thank you in my head.
" Can I go and see her?"
" Yes, but you'll have to wait a while, she being moved to a new room".
" Okay, thank you very much".
The doctor nodded and strolled away.

I sat down to wait but shoot to my feet an instant as I watched them file in.
My mother rushed to me, meaning to give me a hug. I held both her hands midway and pushed her back slightly.
She gasped and stared at me perplexed and hurt.
" Don't you fucken dare touch me" I huffed.

She shook her head disbelievingly and stepped back. I glared at them.
" How is she?!" Bethany asked in a tear stricken tone.
I didn't reply as I watched her silently.
" She's my sister! I deserve to know how she's doing!, Don't be so cruel!!" She almost yelled but I didn't fidget nor take my eyes off her.
Her actions almost seems believable.
If this is an act she's putting on, then she's damn good at it.
Except that I wasn't buying it.
Bloody murderers.

" How is she bro, did they operate on her?" Jayden asked with deep concern.
I just nodded at him and moved away from them as the nurse approached me.
" Miss Hazel Dawn's family?" She asked.
" That's me" I say cutting Bethany off before she or anyone could say shit.
" You can go see her now" the nurse said.
" Wait can I go too?!" Bethany asked hopefully.
" No please. Only one person can see her at a time." The nurse said politely and turned to me.
" Only ten minutes sir"
I nodded and left.

I have to see her, my Angel.

Bethany's POV

The second I saw her running up the stairs, I knew I had to do something.

Jayden threatened me with a divorce again.
That bloody ingrate!. He thinks I'm going to sit quietly and have him steal everything from me? Everything I worked so damn hard for!. To hand it over to the perfect Hazel on a silver platter?. Fucken nitwit!.
He had the audacity to tell me  Hazel means more to him than I ever did or will.
That bastard!.

What did I ever do wrong to deserve so much  punishment and unlove from the one person I'd kill for?!
Now he's unworthy of me. If I can't have him, nobody would. Especially not that bitch!.
I hate her. I wish that bullet had killed her!.
I wish she had never woken from that goddamn coma!.

Oh... I'm going to put her back there. In a freaking hospital where she belongs!.

I hadn't planned doing that to her now. I wanted that bastard Hakeem to do it. But now he's requesting for sex on daily basis for a week, before he do it.
That fool. I'll personally murder him while I ride him to  pleasure and death.

That's for later.
But for now, I have to make use of the presence of Fiona in the house. Her fight with Hazel a night ago is the perfect opening I needed.
So while she was sleeping her drunken ass off, I sneaked into her room and owwh! The bitch never packed fully when she left the first time.
So you see, it was pretty much easy to steal her black night dress, one with buttons and just wait for my dearest sister to come home.

And as always, even nature was on my side. The second I saw the headlights of Hagel's truck, I knew it was action time.
I carefully sneaked out of bed, watching Jayden sleep like the dead. In a second, I was wearing Fiona's dress on top of my black nightdress. Black gloves and a black mask.

The hall was eerily silent and dark as I waited for her in the dark, armed with my dagger.
Yes, I was going to stab her.
But fortunately for her, things didn't have to get that far.
The second she run up the stairs, stopped with her hands on her knees panting, I knew I had to push her...hard.

So I did.
But as always, she tried to gain balance, grabbing a button or two with her as I shoved her harder.
And the princess went flying down the stairs.
Outch.

To say I'm thrilled would be an understatement.
Nobody will ever suspect me. I have the dress and gloves hidden in Fiona's room.
That bitch. I've always wanted to punish her. Now she'll take the fall for this crime and god!.....
I'm a freaken genius.
I killed two ugly birds with one fucken stone.
I deserve a medal!

Now all I have to do is wait. I hope the police took the hint I gave them. By now, they should be busy searching Fiona's room whilst I cry my ass out here, playing the perfect heartbroken sister.

This is fun. Maybe I should have pinned it on Vidal.
I hate that witch so much.
But her time will surely come.
For now, I'll just sit back and enjoy the drama.

Maamamia , this is so damn interesting!
