where I should've been (EDITING)

chapter 11

Petra's pov:

      Today I'm gonna visit Vanessa at the hotel.she finally told me the name of the hotel she was staying.

   We have been getting really close this past few days.i called off the men that was supposed to watch her house once I knew she was out of that hell hole.

   I arrived at the hotel and got in. I walked to the receptionist and gave her my signature smile, which makes the ladies drool over me.

    "Can you give me the room number of Vanessa-" I paused when I realized I didn't know her last name.

   " I'm sorry ma'am we don't give information about our guest to strangers. And besides there could be 20 other Vanessa's in this hotel." She said twirling her hair in her fingers and biting her lip.i internally rolled my eyes, But she was right though.

    "She has a little girl.she's African.cant you do this for me? Please?" I asked at her seductively.

   "Alright.but I'm just telling you because you asked nicely. Well that Vanessa you were talking about.checked out this morning. Her husband came and took them back home saying something about good things coming to an end. He is very weird. She said scrunching her nose up.

   "What!" I said a little too loudly. Making her jump a bit I then apologized and ask again.

  "Did you find anything suspicious about him?"

   "Yeah. Alot actually. For starters there was a band aid on her head which wasn't there yesterday. And two she was walking weirdly,they probably fucked.....but I doubt that seeing as the child was there and last but not the list the child was clinging to her mother even when he tried to touch her.she would cling more to her mother avoiding his touch."

     "You saw something like that why didn't you call the police or something? And why would you let a fucking suspicious man to go into the room of your fucking guests!" I said getting angry.

  "I- I didnt-"I held my hands up in the hair cutting her off.

  I don't have time to argue with this incompetent woman I'm going to that house.

    Vanessa better be okay when I get there if not! Both Maurice and miss incompetent are gonna be good as dead.

    I walked to my car and sped to vanessa's house. I called my men to meet me there asap.

   I pulled up to the drive way and came down from my car and saw my men parking behind me.

    They were three of my best men.

   I heard cries. I quickly rushed to the door and knocked.

  No answer

  I began banging on the door.i heard shuffling noises and glass breaking. But no one was answering.

  I gestured to my men to break the door down.

  Which they did with ease.my blood ran cold when I saw the battered figure lying lifelessly on the floor in a pool of blood, with a crying child next to her.

  Her body was covered in blood.

  I Immediately ran in and put Vanessa' head on my lap. I looked around and there was no sign of Maurice.

   I told my men to check the house and bring that bastard to me alive.

   I checked to see if there's a pulse but I felt nothing.

   Tears started streaming down my face. I failed her! I failed the only person I gave ever felt something for.

     I carried her bridal style and told Dami to come with me.

      I carried her and placed her in the back seat and called one of my men to bring Dami to the hospital.

  I couldn't put her in the front seat. She's still little.

    She agreed to go with him after alot of convincing.

      I'm taking Vanessa to the hospital,I refuse to believe she gave up.
   Maybe I checked her pulse wrong?.

( At the hospital)

        Vanessa has been in the room for hours now, doctors keep going and coming out of the room.

     But they haven't given me any fucking update yet. ughhhh!! I think I'm going crazy.

      I called Maddy earlier to bring food for Dami. Poor kid, she couldn't even eat her food.
 
     And to top it all Maurice was no where to be found.

   How did he fucking get away?

   My men are currently looking for him right now. They'd catch him very soon. I trust the people looking for him to not delay.

     "Family of Vanessa?"

   I immediately stoped pacing around and got to the doctor.

    "Doctor how is she?"

    "I'm sorry we-

     "No no! She can't die what the fuck! I thought you guys were the fucking best! You can't fucking tell me she died! I yelled cutting him off.

   "Miss calm down" the doctor said calmly
   "Don't tell me to calm down! You calm damn"

   "Petra can you let him speak" Maddy said from behind me.

   "What does he have to say? She's fucking dead maddy. She dead!!" I said sliding down the wall with tears streaming down my cheeks. I never got the chance to show her what love really feels like.

   "She isn't dead. You would know that if you had allowed me to speak" the doctor said making me snap my head up fast.too fast I must say, making me hit my had on the wall but I ignored the pain.

    "She didn't die?"

      "No, we were able to save her life but we lost the baby. She had several stab wound to the stomach. There was also bruises from her chest down to her stomach, She had a concussion. Cos there was hits to her head. But she's fine now and she's resting. We will move her to another room and then you can see her. Do you guys know who did this? Do I need to inform the police?" He said making me nod my head

     "No,no we already did. The police are on it" I said,I also apologized for yelling but he waved me off and told me he has had worst encounters. She was pregnant? That monster beat and stab her knowing she was pregnant with his child?!!

    I felt something touching my legs I looked down and saw that it was Dami.

   "Is mommy gonna be okay?" She asked her eyes were all red, due to all the crying

    I crotched to her level and smile. "Yes princess....She would be fine in no time and she will be out of here."

    "I rather stay here. I don't want to go back to that house" she said  angrily.

   "You won't ever have to go back to that house. When your mommy gets better I'm taking you guys to my house."
 
"Really?"
"Yes"

    "Yayyy" she said dancing around happily

  "Do we get to see her?"she asked

   "Yes... We'll see her when she's transfered. Is that okay princess?"

    "Yeah"

   "Let's go sitdown before they call us in" I said taking her hand and walking to the chair

   "Alright."
