Chapter 19
"Grandma please, just try and find out what Jersper is planning", I've already messed up and I don't want any problems on my way like my brother when I ask for forgiveness. It was a mistake, a drunk mistake
"I will only do that if you tell me why I must do it! I can't just sneak around and try to find out what your brother is planning", sometimes grandma can be so stubborn
"Because he is angry that we love the same woman", I said softly, actually he doesn't love her, he just wants to fuck her, and then he will leave her. Leona, she deserves better than that, better more, she deserves to be loved and not used
"So you two brothers are in love with the same woman?" I hate that teasing voice, now she will ask who the woman loves. Well, I know she likes me
"Yes, grandma",
"Who does the woman love?" Didn't I tell you she will ask that question? Yep she just asked that question
"ME!! SHE ONLY LOVES ME!!" Well she will love me, I know that she will
"Don't you dare use that tone with me son!!" She scolded
"I'm sorry grandma", I apologized
"Does this girl know that you are a gangster?" I will tell her when the time is right
"No grandma", I replied
If she knew by now then she would have hated me
"Is this girl a stripper? What does she do? Is she worthy of you? Are you worthy of her?" She's perfect
"I am not worthy of her. She is a church girl grandma, her mother is a priestess, she is twenty-six years old and we kissed then we fought and I ended up getting drunk and fucking two girls. She was angry and left off, the car brakes failed and she was involved in the car crash ad now she is unconscious here in the hospital. I don't want to lose her, grandma. I still need to apologize to her"
"It's so clear that you don't deserve her. Did you use black magic to make her fall for you? You are not worthy of her. You are too dangerous for her", I know that
"I know grandma but I'm too in love now. I can't let her go", I need to fix this and then tell her how I feel
"Fine, I will try and find out what your brother is doing. But, you do know that what you are asking me is wrong?"
"Yes, I know grandma", yes I know. It will be like she loves me more than my siblings.
"Okay son, when are you coming to visit?" She asked
I have not gone to Australia for six months, I should go soon
"I will come grandma but not now" when she recovers I will take her along
"Promise?"
"Yes promise", I promised her
"Okay, bye Xavier."
"Bye", I disconnected the call and went back to the warehouse
***********************
"Have you found anything yet?"
I asked my second-in-command Deacon. I could have made Xamina my second in command but I want him to focus on his studies.
"Yes Xavier, her name starts with an A and ends with an E. Her name has three vowels", he said
"Okay. I want every girl's name that starts with an A and ends with an E here on my desk tomorrow", I need to find this woman before Aphile recovers! I want revenge and when I'm done with this woman, I'm gonna tell my girl who the fuck I am
"Okay, I will tell Tristan", well Tristan is also part of our gang
"Now Xavier, I heard your girl has been in an accident. How is she?" He asked
"Well you could say she is out of danger now but most injuries are on her right leg, which means she won't be able to walk for a few days", I sighed
"I think you should go back to the hospital. I will handle everything here", he said as he gave me my car keys
"Right, I should go", I took my car keys and left
**********
Leona:
My body hurt so much. Argh!
My right leg is hurting the worst. I feel like crying!!
I remember telling Xavier that the car brakes are not working and that truck. Oh, God???
Am I dead??
Please, God, don't let me die.
Don't separate me from my mother.
I love her.
Wait for a second!
What is that sound? And where is it coming from?
Beep!!!
Beep!!!
Beep!!!
Beep!!!
That sound is so familiar.
God, I didn't die?? I'm admitted here to the hospital
Jeremiah came on time.
He came on time. Thank you, God
He doesn't love me, he doesn't, he fucked two women, he didn't have shame. He is bad.
"Can you please hear me", someone asked. That voice is familiar too. It sounds like Doctor LK
Let me try and open my eyes since I'm not dead.
"Leona dear, please open your eyes", he said
I try to open my eyes but the light just had to shine that bright! I opened my eyes again
"Leona dear you are fine? You have woken up? Thank goodness", he said as he helped me sit
"Thanks, doctor. What day is it?" I asked
"Today is Monday, so you were unconscious for two days", he sighed
"Doctor please tell me about my injuries"
"Most injuries are on your right leg", he said and I sighed
"That's why it's paining a lot", I said
"You won't be able to walk for a few days, but you will be fine. You will be given crutches", he said
"Doctor, can you do me a favor?" I asked politely
"What can I do for you?" He asked
I know what I'm about to do is currently selfish to him, and everyone but I have to do it
"Please lie to my friends and tell them that somehow I lost two months' memory", I said biting my lips
"But why dear?" He asked
"Jeremiah did something bad, and I don't want to forgive him yet. So this will be his punishment. I know he will lose his cool when he finds out that I lost two months of my memory. That means I have forgotten him", I explained
"But he loves you. He spent the night here, watching you sleep. Please don't punish him like this. He will go crazy. You are his wife, you have to forgive him", he said
I'm his wife??? When did we get married?? Oh, God?! He lied to the doctor
Did he stay the night to watch over me?
"Doctor, can you do that for me?" I asked impatiently
He sighed then said: "Okay, but tell him the truth soon."
"Yes I promise", I promised him
"Take a rest now", he said
"Doctor, I want to take a bath please send a female nurse to help me", I tell him
"That's fine dear, I will tell Nancy to also get you stuff that you will need", he said
"Thanks, doctor", he left
After eight minutes the nurse came and helped me. She removed my bandages and helped me get in the warm water. When I was done she helped me dry myself and put the lotion on. She put new bandages on my wounds and helped me get dress
