LEO'S POV
I sat down close to the unconscious Emily.
I felt powerless as I stared at her pale face, she is so vulnerable, even in this state she was still whispering his name in her sleep.
Anger surged through my veins.
Was this really love?
How long will she still be delusional, Dave has even spoken up about letting her go but she just won't stop loving him.
Well I know one can't immediately end the feelings they have for someone but then again, this isn't love.
She doesn't have any boundaries anymore, she sees Dave as her god.
She has gone through so much hate from the people that were supposed to love her, this can't continue…..she might not survive it.
Dave...that fool, he left without even considering her state of health, even if he has a new lover, can't he be any human?
Wont he be enraged if someone does this to his sister, that's if he had one.
He left giving the excuse of work, I really don't blame Emily for tearing his contract, he deserves it for being a jerk and an asshole.
Serves him right if he gets fired from work, I bet that new woman won't even want him anymore, like who wants an unemployed man that's a liability?
He said she is all mine now, sure he is right. Even if Emily doesn't look towards my direction now, I'm ready to wait for as long as it takes, I won't let another man take her away from me.
I want to use the rest of my life to love and protect her, she has suffered enough already!
I definitely won't let Dave go Scot free after everything he has cost her for the years she has been with him, he will pay a deadly price for it, I'm going to go all out against him.
He is up for a long dirty ride with me!!
I held Emily's cold hands and kissed them slowly.
"Emily I won't disappear this time, I will protect you…..I love you" i muttered to my self before i left her ward.
DAVE'S POV
I didn't stay long at the hospital, I felt sick just seeing her face, to top it all, Leo was already acting as if he was her husband.
I rolled my eyes at them clearly disgusted with his behavior.
I got a call from my elder brother and I froze, beads of sweat were clearly forming at my forehead, why is he calling me?
Has he heard about what happened or it's just another lecture section from him?
My elder brother Jones always acted like the perfect Phoenix, he is a lawyer married with two cute children plus a beautiful wife and he always uses every opportunity he has to lecture me about every thing and anything….honestly he was too much and i was always exhausted
From each of his tedious sections.
I sincerely hope it's not one of them.
When I walked into my brother's sitting room that was always decorated in a girlish style, it was really hard to associate it with him, his style was always weird right from our childhood…I even thought he was gay one time.
I didn't expect to meet my mom there too, the temperature in the sitting room was cold deviod of any warmth or laughter we have always shared whenever we are together.
Jones glared at me fiercely and turned his gaze back to the laptop he was looking at,his indifference told me something wasn't right this very moment.
My heart couldn't help but beat a little faster.
I hope they haven't heard about what has happened just yet… I muttered under my breathe, trying as much as possible to keep my facial expressions stable.
My mom on the other hand has been staring at me without blinking, her eyes asking questions already but she wasn't as enraged as my brother, she just kept looking at me without uttering a word.
I didn't know what they called me for but I know it is definitely not a sweet family chitchat, I didn't want to be the one to break the silence so I sat down on the farthest chair in the spacious living room and waited patiently for one of them to say something.
I wasn't really a sweet uncle to my brother's children, I always scare them away whenever they wanted to get close to me, I never really played with them or have a friendly chat with them, I didn't even come to visit them most times mostly because of my brother's long and unending sermons.
But right now…..I really wished I did, I can hear their loud voice from the kitchen, it seems like they are quarreling over something…. It would have been nice to have them around here, it would have ease the tension a little bit.
Jones dropped the laptop he was holding and turned to my direction, looking at me with those down cast eyes of his.
My chest tightened.
"So after all I have been telling you all these years, this is how you decide to turn out?" Jones asked while he picked up the already cold coffee from the center table, staring at it with no intention of even taking a sip.
I swallowed hard, sweat was already forming at my back.
This was it!
So they have found out.
They have clearly warned me several times.
Doom wasn't so far away from me anymore!!
