Anastasia's wishes

Chapter 35 - Rescue Mission

Nathan's POV

We arrive at the warehouse in 30 minutes. When we arrive, the team works immediately. They know what to do. They take their position. We know that the front door is locked. We need to find another entrance. And we have to do it quick.

We find another entrance when suddenly I hear my wife screaming. I see from the window how my driver drags her and tries to rape her. She is already beaten. Her eyes are swollen. Her head is bleeding.

Her scream breaks my heart but my brother holds me. Lisa is holding a gun to her head. We have to be careful. Sniper is taking a position now. I can't watch it any longer when suddenly I see that asshole beats my wife and choke her.

I'm going to kill those two. When Diego takes the guns and points it at my wife. I hear a gun is fired. My heart stops beating. Is my wife get shot?

But then I see Diego fall. Sniper shot his hand.

I run to my wife. She's unconscious. I look at her two kidnappers. Blake already holds them down. I walk to their place. I kick Diego and start beating him when Blake holds me.

"Your wife needs you. Take her to the hospital."
I'm nowhere to finish beating them. But he's right. My wife needs me.

Anastasia's POV

I know this smell. This is the hospital. I thought I'm dead already. I try to open my eyes. But I can't. I try to move my hands and legs. But it hurts. Every part of my body is hurt. I try to move it again.

"Ana?" I hear Nathan's voice. I start to cry.

"Ssshh, sweetheart. It's okay. You're safe now. I'm here baby."

I cry harder. He tries to hug me but he's afraid to hurt me. I don't care. I need him to touch me. He hugs me lightly. He calls the nurse to alert them that I'm awake. He kisses my face, my hand.

"Dr. Davis, this is Dr. Black." I know him. Dr. Black is a doctor in my hospital.

"Every part of my body hurts," I sound funny.

"You have a concussion, also your eyes, throat, and lips are swollen. We stitched your head and your lips. There are bruises all over your body including your ribs. You have to breathe slowly. Don't make a sudden move or you will have a headache. Take it slowly. Get some rest, okay? I have prescribed some medication for your pain."

"Okay. Thank you."

"Dr. Davis, I'm administering your pain killer and anti-edema. You'll be sleepy. You need to sleep."

I hear the door opens and then closes again.

"Nate?"

He strokes my hair. "I thought I lost you. I'm sorry, Ana. It is my fault. I should've listened to you not go to that party. None of this will happened."

I try to touch his face. My eyes are kind of blurry but I know that he's crying.

"I'm okay. We'll be okay, now. Did he... raped me?" I don't remember much about what happened after he started to beat me.

"No. He didn't." Thank you, Lord.

"Where are they now?"

"Let's talk about it later. You need to sleep first."

"But I need to know, Nate. Tell me please," I beg.

"They are in jail. For a lifetime. I give the police all of the evidence of Lisa killing that man. I'll make sure they won't get out of the jail."

"Parker? Where is he?"

"He is with your cousin and my family at the house. Relax baby. Get some sleep."

And then I feel his lips brush my forehead lightly. I feel so tired.
