Chapter 43

WRITER'S POV

Vera opened her eyes and found herself in a bathtub. She moaned softly when she tried to sit up and spirals of pain throbbed her whole body.

She felt as if a train had crushed her last night; it must be a miracle that she was still alive. She stayed calm in the warm water and closed her eyes again.

She opened them when she heard footsteps. She smiled weakly when Jackson entered the bathroom with a tray pan containing hot tea, fried eggs, and bread.

"I'm sorry, I thought I could control myself, I wanted to be gentle with you," Jack apologized, kissing her forehead.

When he wanted to pull away, she held him back and kissed his lips. She could at least use his sweet kisses to console herself.

"I might need a doctor, my womb… it hurts badly." She whispered weakly.

"I will call my doctor, give me some seconds." He said and gave her the tea to drink.

As he excused himself to contact his doctor, she took a sip of the tea and placed it back on the tray. She looked at the egg and bread, expecting the food to make her salivate, but it ended up making her nauseous.

She looked away and tried hard to stop herself from messing up the bathroom, but she threw up and winced in pain.

If she was at home, she would've given herself first aid by using her herbal pain relief spray. It has helped her a lot, and she can only get that type in Africa.

She has been through this before when she was pregnant with her first child. The pain reminded her of what Kenneth did to her and how she planned to pay him back. If only Jack didn't come into the picture.

Then she wouldn't have millions of dollars in her possession. She would still be working her ass out trying to make a lot of money and take revenge.

Would she have made half a million by now? Not even close! How many months has it been? At the most, two months and a few days.

When he came back to the bathroom, he cleaned up the mess, helped her out of the bathtub, helped her into one of his big t-shirts, and carried her downstairs to meet the doctor.

"You should be careful, even if she isn't pregnant, damage could be done to her internal reproductive organs. There's also the pain that accompanies it, sex shouldn't be brutal." The doctor said as he examined her lower abdomen.

"I understand that you are trying hard to get over that beast in you, but you have to work harder for her sake. Miss Santos, you can also avoid this by being there for him always. It would help a lot," the doctor added.

Jackson squeezed her hand passionately as if concurring with the doctor and silently pleading with her to stay.

"Isn't there anything that can be done to help him medically?" Vera asked worriedly.

"You should be more worried about yourself than him. Anyway, he's going to get over it quicker if he stays with someone he deeply cares about and respects a lot. Medically, if he takes more controlling drugs, something else might result from it."

"There has to be other natural remedies. It's not like he came into the world a sex freak, scientists should be able to come up with something other than frequent sex,"

"I will dig into it. There's nothing wrong with your womb, the pain is as a result of the penis hitting it hard severally. I will send some painkillers over here for you." The doctor assured her.

"I will come to the hospital for better screening when I'm fit just to make sure," Vera said.

"Thanks, doctor," Jack shook hands with the older man.

The front door forcefully opened on the doctor's face as he was leaving. He glanced pathetically at Jack before he quickly left.

Monica cursed the doctor and fell inside the room. "Oh, my gosh! My sweet husband! Look who we've got here, has she run out of money or something?!" She shouted, forcing herself to stand up.

Jack ignored her completely. He carried Vera and headed upstairs while Monica rained abuses on them.

"She's drunk! I hope Tim doesn't get to see her like this every day?" Vera asked disappointedly.

"She's a thorn in my flesh. I don't know how to push her away and there's no way Tim won't see her like that."

"And where's Tim now? I didn't see him again yesterday night,"

"I had to tell Max to take him to Mrs Briggs's house. I think it's a good decision after all. I might've reacted badly towards him and then he would get to see Monica in that ugly state."

"I think you should call Mrs Briggs and tell her to keep him there until later in the day when she must've been sober," Vera suggested.

Jackson did exactly what she said after he laid her down in bed. He locked the door to keep Monica away. He's sure she would get tired of making noise and stay quiet.

"Aren't you going to work today?" She asked when he joined her in bed.

"I can't leave you alone in this condition," he said, taking her hand.

"I'm fine, you don't have to stay…"

"I want to stay with you for now. I will be filled with guilt if I leave and I won't even concentrate, it's pointless going to disturb my workers,"

She rubbed her thumb on his lips and smiled mischievously. "If the vagina wasn't elastic, you would have destroyed me completely last night. I was really surprised, and excited, then I fainted,"

"You didn't faint," he laughed loudly.

"I fainted, you didn't know, then you banged me until I opened my eyes again. You weren't aware of that even after the climax," she accused playfully.

"Well, I'm sorry, I didn't know I was resetting someone's factory wrongly. Are you okay now?" He jested, tapping the tip of her nose.

She giggled and sat upright in the bed. He sat up, too, and squeezed her hands when her facial expression changed to seriousness.

"Vera, look into my eyes and tell me what you see,"

"What do you want me to see?" She diverted, staring into eyes that could see her soul and read her mind.

"I want you to see a man who cherishes, respects, adores, and loves you more than you will ever know. I want you to see how much that man wants to help you solve the horrific puzzle scaring you to death." He soothed.

"Oh, Jack," she whimpered.

"I'm gradually becoming a fool for love, that's how I feel. If only you would give me a chance to teach you how to love and help you heal. Can't you give that man a chance? Why can't you trust that man for once?" He wondered.

"I wish…" She bit her lip and hugged him tightly. "I have a child, Jack!"

The revelation made Jack pull her away to look at her face. She was trying hard to sniff back her tears, but they poured out uncontrollably.

"Stop crying and tell me everything that I need to know. Where's that child?" He inquired softly.

She opened up to him, tired of holding them inside her heart. The past has been keeping her in the dark, and making her forget how to be happy and see life from a brighter side.
