The Billionaire's heart (The Billionaire Love #3 )

Chapter 14

Memories

I felt the worst kind of pain that can be known to mankind. I don't know how I have gotten it but it hurt so much. My eyes opened and I found myself hooked with many instruments. And at the far corner of my room was my mother sleeping with very surprisingly for me was with my secretary.

 She too was sleeping soundlessly. The door opened and Katie came in. I pressed my finger on my lips telling her to be quite. She nodded.

"I will call the doctor." She whispered and I nodded. She left me there to fend for myself. And little by little it started coming back to me. Katie's wedding, her bastard father and then the gunshot. That bastard shot me. Bloody hell, how was I suppose to know that getting shot can hurt this much. I think I know how Ezra must have felt.

But then my eyes once again darted on her. My beautiful secretary or shall I say the girl I love so much, was there any doubt on this? I guess not. I am in utterly helplessly in love with this woman, and this woman fails to acknowledge me. Maybe this runs in the family. First my mother, then my sister this time it is me. But my sister got her happy ending, mother not so much. I don't know which way I am going to roll.

I am however not very much sure about my fate, giving the circumstances I am in right now. I don't think I am very much going to be happy, until she understands my side too, but unfortunately for me she doesn't want to. No, she is stubborn I have to give her that, I heard the door open and my sister came in. Her eyes were red from crying.

"hermana, why are you crying, I am not dead. No one is dying in here today." She slapped me hard. Ok that was not what I expected her to do but, in her defence, maybe I deserved it. Maybe I made them too much worried with the little stunt that I had pulled anyone would have been angry. 

And I don't blame her for this. No, I don't blame anyone of them. It is entirely my fault I should have anticipated something like this can happen and could have intervened it.

"You fool, who told you to play hero?" She asked crying yet again. And then she hugged me. "I had already lost you once hermano, I don't want to lose you yet again. Do you how painful it was to see you on this bed hooked to machines nearly dead? You know how it had caused pain to all of us?" She asked. "I thought that my daughter may never see his uncle." Oh Rosa.

"I am sorry I wasn't thinking. All I was thinking about how am I going to save Katie." And where is Katie? I heard the door opened and Katie came in with doctors. "I would like to check on the patient can you all give us a moment?" The doctor asked. "I will be back." Rosa said and I nodded I saw Miss Morgan was looking at me surprisingly with a look of relief on her face.

"Katie. Can you stay?" I asked Katie as she turned around to leave. The look of shock was evident on Iris's face. That I didn't told her to stay. Well she should get use to seeing me and Katie together more. Because I have known her almost all my life. I have known Katie since my high school years. And she had seen me through my thick and thins. "Is that alright doctor?" the doctor nodded.

Iris huffed and walked out, possibly angry and jealous that I didn't told her to stay, but she should have known that I wasn't trying to make her Jealous. I just wanted to check up on Katie to see how she was holding up. She had been through much. And I don't want her to suffer yet again. "How is the pain?" The doctor asked. "I will live but my body feels like it is on fire and is getting dunked in ice cold water at the same time. It is bed."

He smiled. "You were shot at point blank range, you are very lucky that you had survived this. If Dr. Iris Morgan wasn't there to assist you, you may not have survived. You owe your life to her." I owe myself to her only if she accepts that I am hers and she is mine but this is not the case here doctor. "I understand, I am grateful that she was present there when she was so that I was saved or else it would have been a disaster." I told him.
