Prologue

"Hey babe" Michael's deep voice came through the speaker of the car.

"Hey love. Done with the meeting?" She asked, pulling out of the hospital's parking lot, and into the road.

"Yes, just. You still there? Sorry I could not come with you today, would have felt much better if one of the boys went with you. Maybe I could come meet you"

"Naa, already done. Just now. Actually just pulled out of the parking lot, heading straight home". I said, overtaking a car being driven by a man who looked to be in his 40s. "I am heavily pregnant yet I drive faster than some people" I thought out loud.

"What was that babe?"

"Umm....nothing? Just thinking out loud."

"I heard you Vi, be careful. Like you just said, you are heavily pregnant". He said, concerned.

"Yes Sir" I said teasingly, I could just imagine him giving me the eye ball. There was an intersection ahead so I slowed down then came to a stop before the traffic light.

"Mike...?"

"I'm here"

"Yea, I know. Just wondering, can we go somewhere? Somewhere far away but not too far though, I'm feeling kind of suffocated. I mean, just and only the two of us" I said with a soft tone, unsure if he heard what I said or not.

"Vi... It's the hormones again. Maybe you should go back on the antidepressant pills..."

"I am not sick Mike, I keep telling you it is not just the hormones. Is it a crime now to want to go away with you for a while? You know you could have just told me no" I said, upset. Why did he have to do that every time?

"Okay, calm down love. Remember what I told you at the alter.....all your wishes are mine to fulfil, no matter the cost. So yes, we can go away, anywhere." He said.

"Alone? With none of your boys?" I asked, holding my breath. There was a pause but then he finally said---

"I don't like it but YES, alone but just for three days. Happy?

My face broke into a smile, I felt like I had won the lottery. Getting Mike to leave his work for a day was barely doable. Three days? Yipee!!! Also, there would be none of his 'men' towering over us, it would be just the two of us. I was more than happy!

"No Hun, I'm elated!" I said, fist pumping the air.

Yellow light switched to green then I switched the gear to drive, moving the car forward, straight ahead.

"I feel like cooking tonight" I said, excitedly.

"No. Absolutely. Not". This battle, I knew I wouldn't win.

"Hahaha, just pushing my--”

BAM!!!!! And everything went into slow motion...

The airbag ejected right before the car tumbled a few times, shards of glass flying everywhere.

I didn't know how many times but the car eventually stopped turned over, keeping me upside down but strapped down by the seat belt.

My phone. I thought, I couldn't see it anywhere.

I felt something wet drip from my head...blood. My head felt heavy and I wanted to sleep but fear for my baby kept me awake.

I tried to move and immediately felt a sharp piercing pain in my back, causing me to scream and pant heavily.

Ignoring my right shoulder which hurt as hell, I reached to the back, my breath hitching. An iron had come through the seat and into my back.

The pain was excruciating and I could see my own blood pooling beneath me. I closed my eyes and drifted off, not wanting to feel the pain anymore but just before I went unconscious, I heard siren in the far distance which gave me hope, willing me to hold on.

Not long after, I felt movement around me though it all seemed like a scene from a movie, so far far and far away.

'Miss? Miss! We've got you..." Then everything went black.
