Marrying the billionaires son

The end

The smell of hand sanitizer first reaches my nose. I keep my eye lids closed and soon hear Colton talking to a girl.
Opening my eyes I see a girl in scrubs and has a clipboard who's talking to Colton. "Doctor will be in soon to talk about what happened." She whispers to Colton then leaves. Colton sighs and turns around but when his eyes meet mine he falters and smiles "hey Grey."
He whispers before sitting in the chair next to me.
"What happened?" I try to talk more but my throat comes together like sand paper preventing me from doing so. Colton grabs a cup and pitcher and fills it with water. He slowly brings it to my lips and I drink thirstily.

Once I finish three more cups of water I sigh. "So how long was I out?"

Colton looks at me and says "two days."

"How bad do I look?" I ask and he gets up and rummages through a bag. Pulling out a small mirror he shows me my face. Yellow bruises that are still healing line my jaw then I see a stitches on my cheekbone curving to my nose about 1 inch. The rest is just small scratches. Setting the mirror down with a small sniffle I smile "Well looks like I got more than I bargained for in the contract."
Colton rushed to me and sits down "no Grey if I had known that this would happen I would have never signed the contract to marry you."

I try to lift myself up but falter "Colton my left leg is killing me. It itches so fucking bad. Could you please scratch it?"

Colton frowns "I don't think that's a good idea."
I frown "why"
Colton's eyes well up with tears.
"What happened?!" I go to remove my cover from my legs but Colton grabs my wrists gently "the doctors tried to save it but your ankle was shattered into a million pieces and your leg hand suffered too."

I start to cry "Colton what are you talking about ?!" He let's go if my wrist and I rip the blanket from my body. My eyes land on my right leg and am meet with a stump. I have half my thigh then an met with bandages around it. I look to my other leg and sigh when I see it's all still there. My eyes catch on to the long five inch stitching along my thigh.
I trace my hand against the stitching.
"That was where one of the pipes in the stabilizer cut you while trying to get you out." I look at Colton through tears and notice his nose is red and his eyes rimmed with red like he had been crying.
"I'I m so sorry Grey," Colton looks at his hands "it should have been me."
I nod my head "Colton, don't wish that upon you. You had no control over what happened." We go through a long pause before the doctor and a police officer comes in.
"Hello miss Grey." The doctor says in a cheery voice. He looks at my sheets on the floor then to my exposed leg and stump them to my teary face. "Ahh I see you've heard the terrible news." His cheery voice went down five levels "When the firefighter got you out and sent you here I did everything I could to save both legs but I only managed to save one."

I wipe the tears from my cheeks with the back of my hands "Well Colton, I guess you'll have to do all the work." I try to lighten the mood. The doctor averts his eyes uncomfortably and Colton laughs "Like I don't do all the work in bed anyways." I roll my eyes at his response and throw a pillow at him. Wincing from the movement I lay back down. "We will give you antibiotics for the pain which will come and go. It should heal within a month month in a half. I'm having you go to this doctor." He scribbles something on a piece of paper before handing it to me " go to this doctor once every two weeks so he can check up on you. I'll be in to check on you in about two hours ok?"

I nod my head and he leaves. The police officer steps up "ma'am on behalf of the whole police station we would like to apologies."

I narrow my eyes at him "I don't care about apologies I care about the fact that that son of a bitch better be in jail."

"Ma'am he died in the car. The cement crushed his car and crushed him."

"Well That bastard deserved a slow death." I whisper.

"Ma'am I'm sorry to put this upon you after all that has happened but as soon as you get out of the hospital you need to go down to the police station and write down everything that had happened so we can put it in our records."

I nod my head and he leaves.

"Wow this sure feels like freedom." I roll my eyes as Colton pushed me to his car. The wheelchair makes a squeaking noise and I groan. "When's the prosthetic coming again?"

"I told you we have to go to a special store. I want to get one made that fits you perfectly."

I nod as he lifts me up into the car. "Remember we have to go to the police station." I tell him.

"Yes I remembered after the 10th time you told me. He starts the car and drives. I end up falling asleep.

"Come on Grey wake up." I feel someone shaking my shoulder. Opening my eyes I'm meet with Colton's green ones.
"Come on." He takes me out and puts me in the wheel chair. I look around "this is not the police station Colton."
"I know but I have to show you something before we go to the police station."
I groan as he pushes me inside a bar. "Colton I don't want a drink right now and you're driving so you better not have one."

He takes me to the bar seat and sets me gently in it. I turn to the bartender "you know what fuck it. I'll have a margarita please." I turn back to Colton "are you happy no- what are you doing Colton!" I bring my hands to my mouth as I see Colton kneel on one knee "Grey, I first  laid eyes on  you here and you'll be the only women I lay my eyes on. Will you marry me?" I look around realizing we are in the exact bar that I had bumped into him at. I look back a Him and see His hands open a small black box and my eyes lay on a gold band with a nice diamond in the middle and tiny diamonds surrounding it. I think about all the hard shit we've gone through and I already know my answer

"Yes"
