Chapter Seventeen

Samuel clenched his jaw. They're on the hospital —Thadeius hospital —their grandma went weak just because of Tina, she fucked up the old woman, big time.

Thadeius tapped his shoulder.

"Relax cousin, she will be okay, I have the best doctors here!" Thad said.

"She's gonna be alright, dont worry too much big bro!" Athena said.

"This is too much!" he clenched his fist, he gritted his teeth as he talk to Jake —the badass attorney "Jake , gather some evidence to put her in prison, ASAP!" je said, because Jake is Roderick's buddy for gathering more evidence for Tina.

Jake nodded.

"Make sure to not let her come in front of my eyes, or else, I will be the one who will go to prison for killing her by myself!" he gritted his teeth as he speaks.

"Big bro!"

"Cousin "

"Buddy!"

"Wha—?" his mouth parted, Mikaela is walking through them.

"Drools falling" she just said and surpass him where he was standing and went straight to the ICU where their grandma is fighting for her life.

He turned his face to his cousins who is chuckling and laughing hardly.

He snorted at them.

"What the hell big bro?!" Joshua is grinning from ear to ear. "Wipe your mouth, yucks full of wa—aww!"

He punch him on his shoulder.

But heck, he drooled —indeed.

Mikaela's body made him heated. Her perfume cocoon on his nose, just because he simply sniffed when she walks in front of him.

Men, he is head over heels to this woman. Just the simple walk, sways of her ass is making him wanting her on his bed.

He went from full to hungry and starving on an instant. 'fuck it!' he hissed on his inner mind.

"Shucks big bro, it's so easy to talk yeah? God! You're too old to be mesmerized!" Junea said while grinning.

"Fuck off you idiots!" his hissed at them.

But his lunatis cousins didn't even blink, evwn if he hissed at them. Well, them? There's no one can intimidate this Animals —they're all badass in the first place.

He tssk.

"but seriously, dis you talk to her already? She needs to be enlighten you know.. She needs to know everything" Jake said.

Its been more than a month. Yeah, and he just keeps on protecting her from afar. He just keep on taking a peek from a distance.

He caress his nape and blows out a loud breath.

"Yeph big bro.we all know how you fight hell for the past days of your life, its time to talk to her, just tell us, we will back you up!"  RR said.

Since the day she left, he didn't have the courage and fighting spirit to talk to her. Even if he wanted to, or there's a way that Tina couldn't know, there's always a bad things will happen in their company.

Then later they found out that it was all from the handiwork and plans of Tina.

That's why Roderick and Jake is working in his behalf, just because he is too busy to fix whatever she do on the business that they have.

Tina wanted to let down their companies. Her Partner in crime is her boyfriend whom she cheated on to him. Thesame person she left the country with when she left him.

And then he work his ass off, for the past days, weeks and turns out to be a month, so he will not be in his insanity. He will go insane for being away from Mikaela , it's not that she's too far but, she's near and yet so far because he couldn't hold her, he couldn't hug her—just looking from far away.

"Fuck yeah! Bautista way buddy? You want it? Just tell us" Roderick said while busy in his phone.

Shaina punch him hard on his back.

"Try harder" Roderick just said, not even blink or flinched even just a little.

"Can you let go of your phone?? God. Why not just plug it into your face?" Shaina said in annoying tone.

Roderick lift up his face and gave Shaina a flat look.

"The hell? Then you wasted the most handsome face in the universe! I'll inform mama for what you said" says Roderick.

He shook his head.

Yeah. Roderick and his 'inform my mama' words.. Lunatic indeed!

"You don't like it Rod. We can include you as an entry in fete day.. To the —what is it again Adrian? The thing that has—the fuck! What's that?!" Mark Neil said, frowning for not remembering what he wanted to say.

" Carnival.. Maybe.. Yeah, yeah that's it! " Adrian grinned.

" Masquerade ball, moron! " Geoffrey said in serious tone.

" Huh ?! Pendejo! I said In fete day! Fiesta! gala! feast! holiday!" Mark Neil said

He just sighed on the them, no one will concede, for sure.

" Use your mind, once and for all, You animal!

Masquerade ball? Seriously? Is there anything like that on fete day? " Roderick said in annoying voice.

" Hmm Geoff"—Neil is nodding like he hit a jackpot —"hell yeah? you gave me an idea, I will do it in the village!" says MN, grinning.

'Oh men.. It's all our end'

He knows MN. He will drain them, for sure.

"You son of a bitch! You'll plundering us again? Shit man, have pity will you? We will be broke and poor from you!" Jake hissed.

He look inside the ICU—whatever room is that , it's all high quality glass but full of blinds and curtains, he couldn't take a peek for his babe.

Since he didn't see her stepping out from there yet, so it only means that she's still there.

He lean on the wall, because he is just standing on the way, it didn't even cross her mind to sit.

"We paid our lands, in your village. We paid millions for Christ's sake! Its not just gave birth, it has grandchild also! Shame on you!" joshua added.

" Oh for RR, 15M, Same with Adrian, Roderick, Joshua , Jake , Thad and me!" Geoffrey said. " how much for you big bro?"

"11.5M!" he said, chuckling and shaking his head.

"Hell, it's good that we're the princesses of the clan. MN couldn't ask us big amounts like that!" says Shaina, giggling.

He laughed on how they're wrangling pver simple matters. Mark Neil owns the village, it's one of his belonging aside from the business came from BGC.

Mikaela is just sitting around the corner where a nurse can sit, she's still panting. The heart rate that she has right now is too fuckin high.

She can hear her heartbeat so loud, just a small glaze at him is making her feel better. Yeah, just a little bit of glare. She even have to hold her hunger for his body heat to not hug him a while ago.

Walking in front of him is the most slow time for her. It's like she's on a movie, playing the role of an actress who has the best slow motion scene.

'I miss him' she murmured.

She wanted to go out, back to him. To ask him if he's okay.. Because God, he lose weight!

She took a peek on the glass wall, she saw Samuel is still there, leaning on the wall, sitting on the floor.

She shook her head, he looks so miserable. She wanted to hug him, tell him it's okay, his grandmother is now safe. Even if she's hurting, she doesn't want to see him like this — he loses his shit!

"Mika"

She turned around, since it's only oxygen, the madam can still talk. They just wanted to make sure she's fine, that's why her doctor put her here, in the hybrid room— like ICU, but people—who doesn't care about rooms—calls it ICU.

She's not that critical to put her on the ICU.

"Yes madam? You need something?" she said, and stands beside her.

"How are you? Its been a while.. How have you been mi hija?" says the madam.

"I'm fine madam.. How about you? Well, you're here, lying on the hospital bed, so I assume, you're not okay?" she said, smiling.

The madam chuckled.

"Slightly yes, but now—so far, I'm good" she said.

She nodded.

"How you feel madam?"

She checked her vital signs and everything then stayed beside her.

"I'm good.. How's your life going? I mean, I haven't seen you in a while —you didn't even visit Magda and Mona there in the village"

She can hear sadness on her voice as she is glaring at her while talking.

"I've been busy this days madam, but sooner, I'll find a way to visit them—and you too!" she said and smiled sweetly.

The madam entered her heart like her own grandmother. No doubt about it. She's so kind and easily can feel that way. She's not the typical madam who is so hypocrite and full of plasticity.

She's kindhearted and lovable.

"Thank you.. I will put that in mind. I will tell Magda and Mona too" she said in low voice.

Minutes later, she slept.

She stayed there, it's her duty, after all. So she can't go outside without replacement.

She's about to sit when the madam spoke.

"Forgiveness is the best way to get a peaceful life. And listening is the best way to resolve any problems"

Bewildered, she look at the madam who is closed-eyes as she is speaking.

"Is she dreaming?" she said—no—she asked herself.

"No I'm not.. And those words is for you" says madam.

'huh? Is she know something??'
