Murder In The Name Of Love

C H A P T E R : 19

[Not edited]

IT'S BEEN TWO DAYS. Two torturous days and she still hasn't woken up. I don't think I've ever drove as fast as I did the day I got the call from Nicole.

I can't even blame anyone other than myself because it was my own man whose bullet struck my wife.

He was being held at one of our warehouses constantly being tortured but it still wasn't enough.

Because each second that passes and my wife remains stoic on that hospital bed, I get closer to burning down the world.

I had killed the man's brother because he was a traitor. I should've known he would try to carry out his revenge.

The bullet was meant for Nicole then why ?, why did Zoya jump in front of her ?.

Why would she try to save her enemy's sister ?.

I was going crazy with all these questions in my head and the only one who could answer them was infront of me, laying motionless on the hospital bed.

I haven't slept. I haven't even gone home. I don't know what it was about her that was pulling me towards her.

God she was making it so hard to hate her specially after this little heroic stunt she pulled.

I don't understand this constant longing inside my heart for her.

Maybe in another life, we could've been a normal married couple.

Maybe in another life, I could forget about my revenge. Forget that she was Zarq's sister.

But in this lifetime, that wasn't possible. I can't look at her for a full minute without being reminded of her last name.

And still somehow my thoughts start and end with her and only her.

Until a few days ago I wanted to kill her myself then why was seeing her laying so still made me want to beg for her to give me her fire back ?.

The fire in which she wants to burn me is starting to become my warmth.

It was all so confusing and i don't know where this thing between us is heading but one thing's for sure.

There was no happily ever after for us.

Zoya stirs a little and I rush over to her, not in control of my actions are all.
