Mafia Contracted Wife

Laura

Ava Anderson

I knocked on the door of the room of the new patient I was assigned to last week before entering. It was a young girl of twelve years who was diagnosed with leukamia.

"Hi" I greeted her mother who was sitted beside her daughter.

"Excuse me" Her mother said before leaving the room to go answer a call.

"I brought your drugs. The doctor said you have been improving which I'm very proud of" I said arranging tne drugs in the order she was meant to take.

"When am going to leave here?, this hospital has destroyed my sense of smell" She groaned. I adjusted her pillow so she could sit up properly.

"When you get better what are you going to do?" I asked as she quickly gulped down the drugs with some water.

"First, I will go shopping and then cook a nice, delicious meal for my mother. Then I want to play football and show the boys on my street that I am the boss" She beamed with smile as she spoke. I so wanted to pull her cute cheeks.

"I would love to play ball with you" I said sitting by the bed, my body turned towards her. She shifted closer to me.

"Can I tell you a secret?" She whispered staring at the door.

I nodded.

"I sometimes dream and it always occur in real life. I dreamt that a man choked me to death and my mother was crying, I remember seeing this snake tatoo on his wrist" I held my finger to her lips.

"Whenever-"

"Wait, let me finish" She interrupted glaring at my finger. I nodded for her to continue.

"And then I saw you in the dream, you were going through some challenges and it looked like you wanted to give up. In the end you were happy but a lot of blood was shed" She said

I've never had someone dreaming about me.

"Whenever such dream happens laura, you pray and rebuke it. You are too young to die, I mean, you have a life ahead of you and you have to show those boys that you are a better footballer than them" I said holding her hands closer.

"Can you at least promise me that if I die you would tell my mother that I love her. She will feel bad but I know I will be sitted at the right hand side of God" She said wiping a tear that had managed to slip from her eye.

"I promise you Laura"

"Nurse Ava, you need to see this" My fellow nurse rushed out of the room where I was washing my face, I quickly cleaned my face before following her.

A man ran into me in the hallway, he entered the elevator but I managed to see a bit of his face. Another man passed me but he went in another direction.

He was wearing a black hoodie which managed most of his face but a long scar ran down from under his left eye to his jaw, he smirked when he caught me looking at him and covered his face more.

As he did, his hoodie raised which revealed a snake tatoo on his wrist.

"Nurse Ava" I turned around and followed the nurse until we were standing right in front of Laura's room. I was so confused as to why she brought me here.

I pushed the door opened and let out a gasp when I saw the scene before me, Laura layed limp on the bed with pale skin. Her mother held her hand watching silently, two doctors stood by a corner talking.

"What is going on?" I asked no one in particular as I reached out for Laura.

Her pale skin were now cold. I held her hand and examined it, the snake tatoo on her wrist caught my attention.

The tatoo she talked about and the one I saw on that hooded man wrist.

She was killed.

He killed her.

I walked to the other side of the bed and stood behind her mother who was just staring at her daughter with no emotion.

She was entering into shock which was not good.

"She is dead, Laura is gone" She muttered as I gripped her shoulders. Laura was her only child and she had lost her husband when she got pregnant so it must be really painful losing the ones she loves.

"She loves you. Laura said I should tell you that she loves you" I said. I walked out of the room with tears fighting to come out.

God, why does this have to happen?

I ran to the room where everyone who works here keep their things and began packing mine. Someone placed their hand on my shoulder which made me jump in fear.

It was Zoe.

"The doctors said her windpipe was blocked as a result of choking. The security team is trying to check who was last seen with her before her death" She collected my bag and we both walked out of the room.

"They should have done that before she was killed, why do we even have cameras when it is not being used at the right time?" I asked.

"Let's hope they'll get who killed her"

We stopped in front of the same elevator the hooded man used and I opted that we should take the stairs, we don't know if he has damaged the system in the elevator.

I turned around as I felt someone watching me, this feeling has been lingering for days and it was making me uncomfortable.

I slammed the phone oh the table which cracked the screen. Paul had just informed me that one of Ava's patient was killed in the hospital, he managed to get the fingerprint from the door handle and I was waiting for Marco to scan it.

This was not what I expected, I hope my suspicions that they have found out about Ava is not true. I was so close to losing it right now with everything that is happening, the cctv footage from the hospital was playing but I could not see the man's face with the black hoodie he was wearing.

All I had gotten was the tatoo in his wrist which Paul told me was stamped on the girl's wrist before she was killed.

"Move it back to when he hit Ava" I told one of my men.

Apparently, he had brought out a small knife but stopped when Paul walked into the hallway with a pistol.

The killer was smart but not very as he had left his fingerprint on the handle of the hospital bed which a nurse who worked for me cleaned after the fingerprint was taken.

Marco finally entered my office. He sat on te seat across from mine and I looked up at him expectantly but the look on his face was that if disappointment.

"I got the man but it was a dead end. His body was dumped somewhere. Looks like whosoever sent him outsmarted us" He placed the information along with some pictures on my table.

The man skin was peeled especially the wrist where the tattoo was meant to be.

"How is she?" I asked as Marco walked over to the door.

"That is what I'm going to find out. Forget about meeting her tonight"

How was the chapter?

Sorry for the late update, I've been preparing for my graduation.
