Chapter 16 ❤
I was crying profusely, seeing her like this sadden my heart so much.
‘I know it linda’s work, how can she do this to me ‘
The ambulance came and christabel was placed on a stretcher, we got to the hospital in 15minutes.
She was taken into a ward, I wasn’t allowed to enter so I stayed outside. I couldn’t sit, I kept glancing at the door.
“Richærd, what happened? where is Christabel? ” I turned and saw it was my mom with my dad too.
“Mom, she was shot, I don’t want her to die. I love her mom, I love her” More tears dropped down from my eyes.
‘I won’t be able to get myself if she dies ‘
“You love her? I mean you fell in love with her?” Mom asked and I nodded.
“OMG, don’t worry, she’s gonna be fine ” she assured me.
“She’s not going to die son ” my dad spoke out.
“I know it linda’s doing, she’s the one who sent them, she threatened to deal with her and she did”
.”Don’t worry son, we will get to her later, let just pray Christabel should live ” my dad patted me.
‘ I can’t afford to lose her just like that ‘
5 minutes later…
The doctor came out, I ran to him “How is she? I mean the girl that was shot? ” I asked, impatiently..
The doctor sighed “She’s…. ”
“Go straight to the point, she’s what? ” I yelled.
“Calm down, she’s fine. She’s really a strong woman, we were able to remove the bullets. So she’s okay now ” The doctor smiled, I didn’t know when I hugged him.
I felt very relieved, christabel didn’t die. OMG!
“Can I see her please? ” I pleaded.
“Hmm.. yes.. but she’s still sleeping ” he replied.
“Okay doctor, thanks so much ” I didn’t wait to hear his reply when I ran to her ward.
I opened the door and saw Christabel laying on the bed. A tear dropped from my eye.
She had bandage on her stomach where she was shot, I walked to her and sat beside her on the bed.
“Christabel am sorry I didn’t protect you from the bullets, and thank you for staying strong for me, I will always love you with all my life ” I said, holding her left hand.
Suddenly, a woman in her fifties came in with a man which I know he must be her husband.
She was p-nting heavily, I looked at her well and saw the resemblance of christabel.
‘She must be her mother ‘
“What happened to my daughter? someone should tell me” she half yelled.
“MA please calm down, she was shot but she’s okay now ” my mom answered her
She calmed down but not fully “Who did this to me? what’s my offence? ” she was crying.
An hour later..
Christabel’s parents and mine went home cause I told them am gonna stay here with christabel though they insist but I told them not to worry.
I glanced at christabel and didn’t know when I slept off.
Christabel’s pov
The next morning…
I opened my eyes slowly, everywhere was blur. I recalled what happened to me yesterday.
I was shot on my stomach .
The blurring became clear and I could hear a beeping sound, the walls were painted white.
I stood up but i was held down by a sharp pain in my stomach. I heard someone mumbling and I traced it with my eyes.
‘Richærd!! ‘ he was sleeping on the small couch and I stood up finally sitting on the bed.
I remembered when I said “I love him” before I landed here. He opened his eyes and saw me smiling.
“Christabel!! you are awake? ” he ran to me and sat beside me.
“Yes Richærd, am awake. How was your night? ” I asked staring into his swollen eyes.
‘He has been crying? ‘
“It wasn’t fine but now that you are awake, I think it fine ” I chuckled.
“Okay, can we go home now? please I want to go home ” I pleaded, I didn’t really like staying in the hospital for long.
“No, but the doctor said you will be discharged on Friday ” he answered smiling.
“Friday? that’s long! ” I exclaimed.
“Yeah, christabel am sorry I didn’t save you from the bullets, please forgive me ” he was about crying.
‘why is he blaming himself ‘
“It nothing, you don’t have to blame yourself for it richærd, forget about it okay? ” I said, looking down at his plump l-ips.
“Is there something on my l-ips? ” he asked touching it.
“No.. No.. Nothing ” I looked away shyly.
“I know what you want ” he smirked.
‘What I want?’
“What? ” I asked.
He bought his face close to mine till we were lip to lip.
“This” He k-ssed me on my soft l-ips and I responded, forgetting the pain I was having.
“I love you christa ” I heard him say.
‘ Only my father call me Christa ‘ I smiled.
“I love you too richærd ” I said after we broke the k-ss.

Chapter 17 ❤
“I love you too richærd ” I said after we broke the k-ss.
“Hmm.. hmm.. ” I saw my mom, she cleared her throat and dad too is here.
“Mom! Dad! you are here ” I was surprised and happy as well.
“Baby! how are you and your health too? ” she asked.
“Good mom, and you too? ”
“Same dear, I and your father came here to check on you and thank God I bought you food cause I know you would be hungry when you wake up ” she gave me the food and I smiled.
“thanks mom”
“You welcome dear, Mr richærd I can’t thank you less for what you did, God will continue blessing you abundantly ” my mom prayed.
We chorused “Amen ”
My parents went back and promised to be here tomorrow cause they would be busy in the noon
“Do you find out who sent those people to kill me? ” I asked.
“Hmm…. Nope not yet, but I know it linda’s doing, don’t worry we gonna find her and she must pay for her sin ” richærd spoke angrily.
“I need you to do me a favor please “Giving him a puppy look.
“Okay, what favor? ” looking straight into my eyes.
“Let pretend as if am dead” I spat out.
“What!! christabel what are you saying? ” Richærd said in amusement.
“Yes, I said that…. okay I mean I won’t be going home with you on Friday ”
I don’t even know what to say.
Richærd’s phone rang and he picked it up.
“It’s Linda ” And I summoned him to pick it
“What do you want linda ?”
“Chill okay, I was only trying to show sympathy for christabel’s death, I heard she was shot ”
I heard linda saying over the phone cause it was on speaker
‘She really want me dead? ‘
“Linda, don’t tell me you sent those men to kill christabel? ” Richærd asked, furiously holding the bed sheet tight.
“Hey, keep quiet and don’t ask me that, you know what have been knocking at your gate but no response, You are not at home? ”
‘At his house? oh no! ‘
I did a sign for richærd to hang up the call.
“Hmm.. I will call you back linda ”
He cut the call “Linda is at home ” I nodded.
“And she believed you are dead! ” he added and I nodded again.
“That’s what am saying, me pretending am dead will make us get the truth from her ”
“How? Linda is very smart and she Can’t just surrender herself like that ”
“I know, but don’t worry just let her in, I know what to do next “I said, trying to lay back on the bed.
“Ouch! ” I winced in pain.
“Sorry sweetheart ” Richærd helped me lay back and I giggled when he called me ‘sweet heart ‘
Richærd’s pov
I went home after christabel was asleep, I got home and met linda at the gate with her things
‘Seriously, this girl is stupid ‘
I got down from the car “Linda, did you know what you did yesterday, you killed Christabel! ”
Maybe pretending as christabel said will make me get the truth from her.
“Richærd, forget about this and let move on, I mean let get married and have children ”
“Married? children? you must be joking, get out of my house this minute ” I yelled.
“Too bad, am not leaving and no one will throw me out not even you ”
She stuck her tongue out and went in ‘This is a better opportunity, I will let her stay here till I get the truth.
Linda’s pov
‘That bitch thinks am not smart right? well to hell with her wherever she is.
‘May her useless soul rest in pieces ‘Killing her was fun for me. No one takes what’s mine!
‘Since sparkle can’t do the job, I sent the x-killer assassins to do the job for me and they did it smartly, more than I expected ‘
I took a red wine and drank little from it when I saw richærd coming, his face was expressionless.
‘Now I got my man back ‘
“Richærd, why is your face like this? ” I asked, as I walked towards him.
“Don’t tell me you are thinking of that bitch? ” I added.
“Baby, of course, she’s my life and I love her but you took her away from me ” He was looking straight into my eyes.
‘Did he just call me baby? is he trying to accept me back? ‘
“You aren’t sure if I was the one honey ” I smirked.
“fine, you aren’t the one but when I get you are responsible for it, you will rot in jail ”
“Okay, we will see that, am innocent ” he rolled his eyes and walked upstairs.
I need to be smart and be careful…
Christabel’s pov
I had woken up around 7 in the morning thinking of how to get linda.
Two plans popped into my head.
Plan A is to get her drunk and ask her questions in her drunken state or I use,
plan B act like a ghost in the house by recording my voice in a scary way and place it in her room.
I smirked… ‘Christabel, you are really crazy ‘
