I love you

An hour had passed, it was already 9 pm and still, Leo didn't come back yet, Andrea was waiting for him for an hour. Usually, Leo came home at 8 pm but today he was late that is unusual, though she overheard the conversation between the maids that before she had started living in Smith's manor Leo always used to come late however since she had come here she never had seen him coming late she didn't pay heed to this conversation back then but after recalling his sweet gesture her heart started to fill with warmth. When the wall clock strike at 9 pm Andrea started feeling anxious as Leo was taking too long to come home. Andrea decided to call him. Her phone was on the table in her room she claimed down from the bed but in a hurry, she moaned when her lower bottom touched the floor, she ignored the pain in her back and started getting up but it seems that her luck wasn't with her that day and she fell on the ground again and twisted her leg. She cursed her luck and get up carefully and limp towards the table. She throws herself on the couch and picked up the phone and dialed Leo's number when the first ring went her heart started racing for an unknown reason she was also unaware of this new feeling but to her surprised

an unknown male voice answered, "Hello."

A shocked trailed off to Andrea then she thought it must be his Secretary.

"Hello, may I talk to Leo Smith, I'm Andrea smith his wife."

The man from the other side said, "ma'am, I'm sorry but I can't give him a phone right now."

"What the hell is this, didn't I tell you I'm his wife I want to talk to him right now It's urgent, Give the phone to Leo. I want to talk to Leo" Andrea said feeling worried for Leo.

"Ma'am calmed down, why I can't give him because Prince Leo is in the hospital. He had an accident when he was on the way home," the man answered.

"W-W-WHAT!!!" Andrea got shocked after hearing that Leo was in the hospital, in just a few seconds her face looked like she has no blood in her body.

Her phone was about to fall from her grip but she steadied it. She felt her world crumbling and tears were welling up in her eyes. She started running towards downstairs, she even forgot that she had just fallen down and twisted her leg, Her voice was cracking as she asked "Which hospital?"

The man replied, "City hospital."

Andrea disconnected the call before he could say any more. She went to the garage and pick one of Leo's car, she sat into it, Driver asked her if she wanted him to her somewhere but she was in no mood of replying and without replying him she started the car and aimlessly breaking all the traffic rules.

The drive to the hospital seemed to take forever.

Andrea began praying for Leo 'God, please. Don't let anything happen to Leo. Please watch over him, don't let him be hurt. Don't let him be in pain. I know that I've been a bad person, I'll reform, I promise. Please don't take Leo away from me - I can't live without him!!! Please God Please, please let him be fine. I love him. I Love Him so much,' she finally confessed.

She arrived at the hospital and without locking the car Andrea ran towards the reception.

She asked the receptionist in which ward Leo was in. She then ran in the direction the receptionist had told her.

Andrea opened the door and braced herself, expecting the worst. Fortunately, all was well. Leo was sitting on the bed with his back facing the door, talking to two police inspectors. A doctor was also present in the room.

One of the inspectors noticed Andrea at the door and asked "yes miss, do you need anything?"

Before Andrea could answer, someone touched her on the shoulder. When Leo turned to see who's at the door, he saw Andrea turn around and walk away.

Andrea had turned to see who was behind her, the door closed, letting Leo believe that Andrea was disappointed seeing him alive and well.

The person that had attracted Andrea's attention said to her, "Ma'am, you can't go in there, there's an investigation going on."

Andrea immediately recognized his voice, "It was the same person who answered Leo's phone?"

"Yes, then you must be princess Andrea, nice to meet you." He held out his hand for Andrea to shake hand but she didn't do so, instead, she smiled and he also smiled in return and bowed his head.

Noticing that Andrea was constantly looking towards Leo's room he said, "don't worry, Prince is fine. I wanted to tell you on the phone but you had already disconnected."

"How do you know him," she asked.

"Well, actually I only met him today. I witness the whole thing."

"What is your name." Andrea looked confused.

"My name is Ivan, I came city A for business, I'm from city S."

Andrea was getting annoyed and was becoming increasingly impatient. She just wanted to go in and meet Leo and be with him.

Ivan noticed her restlessness and quickly got to the point.

"Ma'am, someone tried to kill your husband," he said.

"WHAT!! Who???" Andrea asked.

"I saw it all. A guy in a Black car was continually ramming into Prince's car until he was pushed off the road and then he slammed into a tree. When I saw that Prince has knocked his car into a tree I quickly ran and take him out of the car and insisted him to come to the hospital. You know he's very lucky -his injuries could have been a lot worse." He took out Leo's phone from his pocket and gave it to Andrea.

"Prince had to go for X-Ray, he asked the nurse to keep his phone, when it started ringing, she gave it to me..." After saying that he glanced at his watch, "Ohh...police are really taking long in the inquiry. I really wanted to meet the prince, before I left but I'm really getting late. Please apologize to your husband on my behalf and also tell him to take care of that arm of his."

He then handed Andrea his business card, "my number is on it if the police need to question to me."

"Thanks for helping Leo." Andrea smiled at him and walked towards Leo's room.

When she entered Leo's room, she saw police inspector was talking to Leo "Thank you, prince we realize you must be in pain, we are grateful for you answering our questions." Leo nodded. Then he left while talking to another inspector, "I think we'll close this case, Prince has assured us that it was an accident and he lost control of his car." Andrea knew Leo lied to the police but why? she knew it's not true.

Then the Doctor said to Leo, "you're a very lucky man. The X-rays show no fracture in your wrist, but it is sprained. It will hurt for a few days. Shall I prescribe some pain-killers."

"No doctor, I've become accustomed to living in pain," he said while coldly staring at Andrea. She understood the hidden meaning.
