Chapter 54
Third person’s P. O. V.
“Alpha to F-Com.” Zeke and Theo turned to look at Kei as he spoke, with an earpiece stuck to his ear and he pressed something on his smart watch.
“Yes, maître?”
“Appelez tous les commandants dites-leur d’aller ici. Il faut qu’on parle. (Call all the commanders, tell them to go here. We need to talk.)” He ordered in French. Zeke and Theo looked at each other.
“D’accord, maître. (Okay, master.)”
“Et donnez-moi une séquence des caméras dans les couloirs de l’infirmerie. Surtout celui en face de la salle 203. (And give me the footage of the cameras in the infirmary hallways. Particularly the one in front of Room 203.)”
“Qui monsieur. (Yes, sir.)”
“Good.” Keiranz removed the airpiece and looked at the two.
“Get ready, we’ll have a meeting. Go up to the 4th floor and wait for me there.” Zeke and Theo both nodded.
They let him go out of manang’s room which the latter directly goes to Nassandra’s room.
Keian’s P. O. V.
Arghh! If Nass had inhaled more smoke, she could have died or fell into coma. And I can’t have that. She’s important to me and I won’t let her get hurt.
But she’s hurt already…
I angrily punched the wall by my side.
*Thud*
The wall cracked, and Nic went outside to see what happened.
He held both of his hands in the air.
“What the hell, Kei?” I took deep breaths to calm myself down.
“Sorry.” My fists were clenched as I entered Nassandra’s room.
As soon as I saw her lying on the bed, my expression immediately softened. Her face is so innocent… and she’s unconscious.
I sighed and went over to Nass to hold her cheek.
“I’m sorry you got involved in this.” I said even though I don’t know if she can hear me.
The last time she fainted, I got really scared. Scared of loosing her.
I know we haven’t been together that long but there’s just this feeling. Something that’s pulling me to her.
I don’t know why but I just let her pull me.
I, for once, can be scared too… and tired.
Sometimes you just wanted to control your whole life but you can’t do that forever. ‘Cause it’s exhausting…
We wouldn’t be in this mafia mess if what happened in the past didn’t happen.
I want to control my life but sometimes, all I could do was let myself get pulled.
Get pulled by her…
I grabbed a chair and place it next to Nass’ bed.
I looked at her face.
There is something about Nassandra Pat Del Luna… I don’t know what, but it’s drawing me into her.
I can’t help but to not stop being near her.
There’s something familiar with her presence and my instinct won’t let go of this presence.
I won’t ever let go of her.
I held her hand and drew it near my forehead.
“I’m really sorry, Nass.” I stood up and pecked a kiss on her lips and went out of the room to climb up to the fourth floor.
After a few hours…
Nassandra’s P. O. V.
“Nass!”
“Pat! Wake up!”
I opened my eyes and was suddenly greeted by the feeling of exhaustion and dizziness.
I held my head, wishing the nausea would disappear.
What happened?
Wasn’t I in manang’s room when she woke up then suddenly Kei and the other went in?
Wait…
.
.
.
I sat on the bed as I remembered the moment before I fell unconscious.
I can’t help but lay down on the bed once again because of the dizziness I’m feeling with matching bad headache.
“Arghhh”
Was I too overworked? Is that why I fainted?
Why???
I remembered what my mom and dad used to teach me back in the days.
My eyes widened.
AM I DRUGGED?!
I’m not feeling so tired lately, no part of my body is in pain, I’m not wounded…
And manang…
Where is Nathan?! I’m not sure but I think it was Nathan whom I last saw before dozing off.
Did he just drugged me? He was my only companion back in manang’s room.
And where are Keian and the others?
Due to the panic, I chose to get out of bed and walked out of the room.
I could only guess I’m still in the infirmary but in a private room.
I can’t stand properly since my knees are trembling and I could see circles everywhere.
But I felt like something bad happened.
So I have to walk, even though I can’t…
As I got out of the room, the infirmary felt like a ghost town. It’s quite surprising that there aren’t any guards around.
My eyebrows creased.
I went inside manang’s room and checked on her situation before walking towards the elevator?
What’s harder? Riding an elevator while in state of dizziness or going down the stairs???
As I hopped on the elevator, I pressed the ground floor. I just felt that something unfortunate is going to happen there.
I leaned on the wall of the elevator which just made my sight spinning around continuously.
Holding on to the railings, I used it as support so I won’t fall down.
You can do this, Nass!
I took deep breaths to make myself calm since I don’t have the slightest idea as to why I feel so panicked.
When the elevator opened, I got out immediately but I almost fell butt head in the floor. Why are elevators so nauseating???
“Ma’am, are you doing alright?” One of Keian’s men that are wearing a suit asked me which I nodded. He assisted me so I won’t stumble down.
“I-I’m alright.” I brushed away his grip and walked outside.
All of the men can’t help but turn their heads to me, probably because I looked like a walking zombie but I don’t care.
I am more concerned on what’s making me feel bad about something.
“Miss Nass, you need to stay in bed.” I heard Felix’s voice but I shook my head at him.
From here at the headquarters, I could see the scene at the training field.
Almost a batallion of men in suit are standing there.
I also saw Keian was there.
“No. Please, just help me get to the field.” He gave me a hard faced look.
“But Miss Nass, Maître Andrew has strictly ordered that—-” I held his arm real tight. Just so I could plead to him and hold tight to him before I could loose the ability to stand.
He placed another arm around my back to straighten my posture.
He smiled at me.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“Sure.” I gave him a tired smile in return.
We walked towards Keian and the others.
In front of the batallion of men, lined up in front of them were Steven, Erick, Devon, Theo, Dale, Zeke, and Laiza.
While Keian was standing in front of a man kneeling down to him.
The man’s back was facing towards me so I couldn’t figure out who exactly is he.
Steven was the first to notice me walking towards their direction.
His eyes widened as he immediately ran to me.
At the same time, I felt my body crashing on him because of my sight getting dim.
“What the hell, Nass?” They all helped me get up, I also saw Theo and Zeke running over to us. Worry was evident in their eyes. Even Devon, Erick, and Laiza were looking at us nervously while Dale was smirking at the side.
“Nassandra, why are you here? You should stay in your bed.” Theo stated, intrigued.
I ignored all of them and tried all my best to walk towards Keian.
His eyes narrowed as he saw me, I turned to the man kneeling down and my eyes widened.
It was Nathan, almost unconscious and all wounded while kneeling on the ground and Kei was hurting him!?
My heart was racing at the sight.
“Nassandra! Don’t you dare come any closer to Kei!” I ignored what Devon said and just stared into Keian’s eyes.
His look screams that he wants to kill.
“Keian, what are you doing?” I weakly asked him. His jaw tightened, so does his fists.
“He’s the f—ing traitor.” He stated every word with emphasis through his deep voice.
“Keian, you don’t have to—”
“Shut up. Don’t come here, Pat.” I froze at what he said. Did he just call me Pat?!
“Nassandra!” I looked over to my side and saw Jane and Ema who are both crying while looking at me.
And he really had to drag the others?!
He didn’t want me to come near him? Fine.
I went over to Nathan and knelt down in front of him.
“Are you okay?” Clearly, he’s not but I still bothered to ask. He looked at me with tears in his eyes and shook his head.
“No. I’m not okay, Nass! I’m not OKAY!” He was screaming right to my face but I didn’t leave his side and checked on his injuries.
“You should—–arghhhh!” I crashed on the grassy field as he pushed me down at the same time, the dizziness and dark sight came back.
“F-ck.” I felt Keian’s presence getting near so I went closer and protectively covered Nathan with my arms.
He gave me a glare.
There was a moment of silence but I didn’t leave in front of Nathan. Whilst Kei and I gave each other death glares.
“Stand up.” I felt confused. Was he talking to me or Nathan?
“I said, stand up!” He pulled my arm with all his strength which caused me to stand up but I couldn’t help but lean on to him due to diziness.
He rolled his eyes and pushed me away then dragged me along…
Ouch…
I saw Zeke and the others were about to follow Kei to stop whatever he’s doing but I gave them a reassuring nod.
I let Keian pull me back to the room from earlier.
I glanced back at Nathan who’s bring dragged by Kei’s men and brought him inside another’s building near the HQ.
