The Heirs

The last verdict

Cinthia's POV

The silent cry in a corner in the hall disturbed me so much because I knew it was Richard's.

   Everything that took place in the span of just an hour changed the course of the whole family, I just can't understand how everything just turned out this terrible.

   From the doctor's report we were made to know that James was now out of surgery but they aren't so sure he would ever make it if he did the highest was to fall into a coma.

  That news shock the whole family as Kate couldn't stop weeping neither did Adrianna.

   My parents had sent Tyler and Kyle back home while they stayed behind to help the sad family.

  Why is all this happening Lord, I wanted to scream to God because I don't understand what's going on here anymore.

  "Richard",I called out before placing my hand on his shoulder.

   "Cinthia",Richard said before hugging me as he cried

  "This was all my fault, if I hadn't done what I did 6 years ago, none of this would be happening right now, what was wrong with me", Richard said in tears

   "This isn't your fault, yes you did something wrong but you never knew it would lead to this, it was all a mistake and now it's too late to correct it",I said honestly as I watched him cry

   "I hate myself right now, Cinthia I really hate myself, my dad is hurt right now and it's because of me, it's all my fault",Richard cried out

   I felt so sad for him as I let the tears roll down my face, it hurts Soo much to see him in this terrible state.

   Adrian's POV

I couldn't breathe

  I just couldn't breathe

I needed a drink

  No I needed something so strong

"I'm sorry but he's in coma", announced the doctor as he stood before us

  "No ",my mom cried out in tears as we stood in the hall on my supposed engagement day with Cinthia.

   It was now morning and we just got dad's report, this news left us temporarily shocked as we watched the doctor take his leave.

None of the things he said reached my ears as I thought of how I could have changed what took place yesterday.

  "This is all my fault",I said as I collapsed unto a chair in tears as I watched my mom and Adrianna in tears .

  I turned to look at Richard who was standing beside Cinthia in tears while she held his hand.

  Shouldn't I be the one she was meant to be comforting, I thought sadly before walking out of the hospital.

  I needed a drink.

   A strong one

  So I sat down at the bar drinking my sorrows away staring at the TV where a  news channel was going on about how the engagement between Cinthia and I  didn't take place.

  I guess no one has told them about dad's incident, I grimaced sadly before drinking.

  So many missed calls on my phone but I refused to pick them as my mind kept replaying all the memories I had of my dad.

  I couldn't help but to cry not minding the stares I was getting or the pictures of me people were taking.
