Death's door in love

Damon.

I forgot my phone and went back home, when I entered I saw  Ramon on the couch with a maid plus a first aid kit. What happens? I ask.

"Madam hurt him accidentally." The maid standing at the end of the stairs answered to me.

"She found out her clothes were being burned, I was trying to calm her down when she pushed me aside. But what brings you back here?" Roman asked me but I didn't respond to him, I went upstairs as I opened the door she flew past me like breeze.

I looked back to the room to get my phone when I heard a scream, followed by the voice of my brother yelling for the call of an ambulance. The maid inside rushed out with my phone in fear she stopped and stared at me, before slowly handing me my phone.

I took it from her and walked to the end of the stairs where I saw blood running on the floor, I feel my own breath breathing as well as hearing it, the sound of my heart every beat, fear-filled me up inside like I was having a heart attack and there's no one around to help. I see her head on the column of the staircase my phone dropped from my hand and hit the ground like a loud bang.

I watch my brother and the maids above her struggling as to whether they should touch her are not, I rush down to her taking my jacket off I lift her head carefully then place her head on my jacket before lifting her in my arms.

Let's go, I said to Ramon with no one to open the door, I look back to see Ramon still kneeling down. "RAMON," I yelled and he looked up, I won't wait for him! You get the door. I said to the maid next to him.

After arriving at the hospital, they took her from me and started immediate surgery. David arrived with Ramon, he's a complete mess like a girl who have witnesses something terrible. Are you okay? I asked him but he just kept looking at the blood on his hands, I went and sat next to him and said it's okay. "It's our fault… we burned her clothes." He barely gets the words out from his mouth. What is he talking about I asked and the maid that was in her room started speaking?

"Madam found out you gave the order to burn her clothes. During that time madam was very angry and pushed Sir, aside and cutting his face accidentally, I went to tell her what had happened and that she should apologize when I told her that Sir, was hurt she got up from the floor and ran out without letting me finish."

So how the fuck did she fall from perfectly fitting stair steps, I would like to know why she had to… from this moment on if anyone of you can't protect her you will not only be fired do you understand? I yelled out in anger. "Yes sir, I'll make sure everyone else knows of this,"  David answered. They can't protect one mare girl when she's the reason they're hired.

What's your name? I asked the maid that was in our room. "My name is Crissy, Sir." Crissy, from now on you and only you can attend to her do you understand? "Yes sir." If anything happens to her Crissy you will be held responsible. I said to her and she swallowed hard as she replied in a panicking voice. "Yes...sir."

We waited in the waiting room for two long hours, Ramon, he's pacing back and forth waiting anxiously.

The door beep opened and Ramon rushed up to the doctor, "How is she? Is she okay? She is fine right?" He was acting like she was soon to be his wife and not mine. The doctor nodded and said. "She's out of danger but she needs to rest. If you don't mind me asking how did she end up in a situation like that?" The doctor asked and Ramon replied. "She fell down the stairs." The doctor seems as if he would say otherwise if given the chance so I stepped forward.

Doctor, my wife was running when she fell from such a high place should I be worried? I said in a sympathetic voice.  "Not entirely, but there's a mark just above her ankle, I'd say someone kicked her there on purpose which would've caused her falling." I nodded and pat Ramon, on his upper back. I knew something was behind that look he gave Ramon, I will not let this sleep. "You'll be able to visit her after she's placed in a room provided for her." The doctor said.

Thank you very much doctor, for your hard work and for saving the life of my wife!!! I'll remember it. I said and he nodded and left us, I turned to David and ordered him to give everyone a day off and put cameras in all the necessary places. He nodded respectfully.

"Who is family to Rebecca..." I turned and cut the person off, I'm her husband. I said as realized it's a nurse holding documents, she looks up at me with lustful eyes.

Crissy takes the clipboard as she clears her throat warningly and brings the clipboard over and hands it to me, I fill it out and sign it as her husband and give it to Crissy to give back to the nurse after she leaves a moment later she returns.

"Mr. Connor, Mrs. Connor is placed on the second floor in room A131 critical." She said and they rushed to the elevator as I took the stairs, so I arrived faster and was searching for her room when I heard a familiar voice called out to me.

I turned around when I saw who it was I turned away, this bitch got guts after what she did.

•6 months ago.•

Bar.

"Hello, there." A woman said sitting down next to me, what can I do for you? I ask before looking at her. I turned my head to the side facing her and she was quite pretty, deep blue eyes, small lips, pointed nose with a straight face, dirt blond shoulder-length hair, big boobs with a small waist.

She was the kinda woman I would go for, so I got friendly with her. We had drinks and talk a lot she reminds me of a girl I used to like in high school, it's was great until I decided to take her home then afterward she tried to drug me.

Because I like her I let it go and she played all manner of Trix on me, and like a fool, I fell for it and slowly I loved her with lies she was feeding me. I bought her a house and a car along with 6 million dollars, she had it all, my money, and my stupidity of thinking I was in love. 

What she didn't know was that while she was using me, she was getting used by a guy named Hayden, the real father of a child she made me believe was mine. She disappeared after almost losing everything I gave her, I never see her nor heard anything about her or from her until today. 

She hasn't changed, she's very much the same and she's back in the city of Chicago, something even I was afraid of. Why are you here? I inquire. "I was China, when I started to miss you I decided to come and see you!!! Don't you miss me???" She asked just as I found the door to the room I was looking for, I entered without looking back nor was I interested in answering her.

She was sleeping peacefully with bandages around her head, machine tubes attached to her arm. What really happened to you? I asked and there was no response. I feel so guilty like it was intentionally my fault, I held her hands in mine and asked. How can you die before you marry me?

I have lost my damn mind, not only did this woman gave me a mini heart attack, but she also made my heartbeats happily for once there was someone powerful enough to give me a hard-on while still unconscious. And now she lies in a hospital bed sleeping like a dead person!!! Did they press the wrong floor? I asked myself in wonder as to where my brother and her maid are at? The door opens followed by a doctor, my brother, and her maid.

What exactly took both of you so long? I asked and Crissy replied back. "I thought it would be best to clean him from the blood." I then remember how bloody his hands were, he walked over and I got up giving him the chair. He sat next to her with an apology look on his face. "I'm sorry, Rebecca, it's all my fault, why were you running the stairs for? Huh??"

I subconsciously listen to the doctor about waiting until she wakes up, watching my brother's emotional breakdown remind me of when our real mom's past. 

"Is she going to wake up soon?" Ramon asked without looking away from her, "We'll have to watch her closely and wait until she wakes up on her own..." I invade their conversation, I want her moved to a VIP room. It's not a request I added firmly. 

It seems like I'm taking advantage of my power before I obtain it, but if something happens to her I'm afraid I won't just lose our inheritance but also be able to enjoy the warmth of a woman. After a few minutes, they arrange the escort for the transfer… "Mr. Connor, Sir, I would like to go back to get the necessary things Madam might need." Crissy said and I nodded as she was leaving, I stopped her and gave her my credit card. If there is something you need to buy on the way for her, I said to her and she took the card with a nod and leaves.

The day went by slowly which felt like forever, I was on the roof taking a smoke when I heard the door open. "I thought you would be doing something like this.! Do you mind that I asked who that girl is?" I turned around looking at her as I asked myself what exactly was I thinking six months ago? I turned back and pulled on my cigarettes, you promised you would stop!!! She said and I replied.

Someone once told me they would love me forever regardless, but one day they showed up pregnant claiming that the baby is mine. Do you actually believe you could have fooled me to the end!? Darcy. I looked back at her playing with her fingers, I finished my smoke and said excuse me as I walked past her.

"Said the man who wasn't sexually attracted to me…"  I smirked and said. It wasn't me who wasn't sexually attracted to you but my dick. I left her in silence and went to Rebecca, I entered her room and Roman yelled at me about smoking. As I was about to speak my phone rings, the caller ID said Father, what is this about? I asked myself.

"What makes you take this long, I'm a very busy man." I understood father, please relax and say what is the matter. I spoke and waited for his response "Don't let me regret it, boy, I'm putting the faith of this company deal in your hands." Father, can I… "Where are your manners, Damon? I'm getting older, day after day I want to confirm this wife of yours. Come to the office tomorrow." Yes, Sir. I said.

I look over with the question in my head, did you almost die for a good or bad reason? Without realizing it I said it out loud followed by a knock on the side of the head. Who dared? "Me! What are you going to do?" Ramon asked and I said nothing. "How can you say that!?" Because the father gives me a big company deal to start and finish. I'll have to stop by the office tomorrow, father's order. I said to Ramon. I stayed with her through the night then I leave 5 AM. Crissy arrived and told me I could go back now.

9:30 AM.

I arrived at the office, where father awaits I took the elevator up. They knew better than to ride the elevator with me, after I arrived in my father's office he threw some documents before me. Have a seat he said and I sat down. What's the big news? I ask and he hesitates to speak. "I will be doing a collaboration with the one and only Andrew Garland, I'm giving you these three days to prove me you're the perfect person for the job, your mother has been asking for you... when will both of you visit?"

We will visit soon please, send mom our love, ask her not to worry and we're doing fine. "She will be held'in a small get-together in a few weeks, I'll be looking forward to seeing both you and your brother there. Also, tell him to take my calls will you!!!"  What is so wrong with him being gay? Do you really hate him that much? I asked and he glared at me angrily. "How dare you question my love for my son, he is what he is, I can't change him I just won't give the family business to him. He's a man, a man needs wives, not husbands, however, I refuse to put my son ashamed with broad. I won't feel at ease with them hovering over my boy and you, you better watch your mouth with me boy." 

We thought you hate him for what he has become. I said and he said. "He's my son, hating either of you would be hating on myself. When you return tell him to call me will you!..." He stood up and takes his jacket from his chair, are you leaving? I asked. "Yes, this office will be yours soon get used to it." He said with a smile and pat my shoulder. I turn in the chair looking at him, does this mean I don't need to get married? I thought to myself, just then he returned. "I need to see that wife of yours as soon as possible." He said and leave for good this time.

I almost felt relief but sad, my mind drifted off to Rebecca and immediately I picked my phone and called Ramon.

"Hello."

How is she? I asked.

"She's still sleeping!"

Make sure you take care of yourself, so you can take care of her. I said.

"Don't worry, I am fine plus Crissy is here, just hurry back she needs to see you when she wakes up."

A surprising smile appeared on my face and I said, I will don't worry. I hang up when and then someone knocks on the glass doors, come in. I said as I turned to see who it was and to my surprise. Mr. Sim, it's good to see you, sir. I said respectfully with a smile.

"It's good to see you again Damon, how are you?"

I'm fine, Sir I said.

"Good that's good, I'm having a family and friends get together tomorrow night. Please do attend in the space of your father, and bring your brother haven't seen him in a while."

Will do. I said to me and he left, maybe he was looking for father!? I started going through the documents that my father left me with.

Meanwhile at the hospital.

'Doctor Falcon, I'm calling about one of our patients, Rebecca Collins, if possible we might need to contact the Cold family.'

Moments later, the hospital phone rang and was answered.

"Doctor Raymond, I received your message and what's this you speak of?"

'What I'm trying to say is Mrs. Rebecca Collins-Conner, might be the long lost daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Cold.'

"Doctor Raymond, are you sure of what you speak?"

'If you don't believe me, Mr. Falcon come and have a better look at this young lady, birthmark this is no coincidence.'

"Raymond, speak of this to no one until we confirm it's her. And if it is, it's been 23 years, where has she been?"

'My shift is about to end let's discuss more in the morning. Have a good night Doctor, Falcon.'

"You too doctor, Raymond."

•Next day.•

I woke up and went to the hospital first thing, I sat by her bedside looking at her hoping she would just open her eyes. The door opened and Crissy came in good morning sir, she said with a smile immediately my attention was drawn back to her when I felt her tiny fingers move. The excitement fills my heart as I thought she was waking up. "It happens to sir Ramon, yesterday don't panic Sir, the doctor said she will wake up soon."

She said to me and I looked at her angrily. How soon exactly? I asked her, which was very stupid how the fuck would she know!!! I got up to me and told her I have to head to the office, and that she should call or come find me if she wakes up. "Yes, Sir." I left the hospital as I was about to enter my car Darcy, standing at the entrance of the hospital look-in at me. She walked over to me and asked if I could give her a ride! Get in. I told her.

As I drove she stared up a conversation.

"You've changed!"

Mind your business. I said to her.

"I saw that girl up close, she is quite pretty with no makeup as if she knows what that is still, she's pretty."

I keep silent but if it hurts her? It should because when she screwed me over, she should've thought about who would replace her even if it's a fake.

"I'm sorry for what I did!!!."

Are you really? I asked her.

"I miss you." 

She said placing her hand over on my leg, I pulled over immediately and said this is your stop if it was or not I didn't care. 

"Can't I come with you?"

I looked at her and replied. No, now get out. She did not move so I insist on telling her I'm not interested in her in any way possible. 

"How can you love someone who is dying?"

Suddenly, I pulled my seatbelt then grabbed her by her neck and pulled up to me, I would rather be alone for eternity. I said as I release her seatbelt, opened the door, and told to get the fuck out before I put her forcefully.

Where is her fucking pride? Aren't women supposed to have that? I engage the speed as I drive away, with Rebecca in my head "How can you love someone who is dying?" Her word's replay in my head, fuck I almost run a red light. That was a close call I said out loud my phone rings, and I answered the call waiting for a response. "It's me." She said and I thought she must have lost her God Damn Mind! I didn't bother to reply to her, I  just threw the phone into the passenger seat. Didn't I just ask about her pride? This girl is going too far too fast.

11:15 AM.

•At the hospital•

"Good morning ladies."

Doctor Falcon, greet the girls he passed in a hurry to get to doctor Raymond, office he tops the elevator bottom quickly as the door starts to close he relaxed. After a minute he arrives and takes a seat in the chair before doctor Raymond, he looks at her confusingly as if the words he's thinking might not be true.

"I received your email however I was in such a hurry to get here, I did not view it so tell me personally to my face is it true?"

'I want to confirm with you first but I highly believe that this Rebecca, the girl is Hopesophine Cold.'

"Are you sure?"

'I remember correctly when we received the birth of the baby she had a birthmark, which was a similar look to a butterfly. Am I wrong?'

"So you're saying that this Rebecca, girl who is Mr. Connor's wife, is the missing baby Hopesophine Cold?"

'Hmmm, but where has she been all this time.'

"Let's inform the Cold's first I'm sure they would want to know their missing baby is alive, as for being well that is an understatement I'll go check on her also."

'Yea, you do that.'

"Doctor, Raymond, let's not forget who is her husband and what he's like."

'We will all visit our own workplace as patients, please don't remind me.'

Doctor Falcon, leaves doctor Raymond, to contact the Cold's on his way to Mrs. Connor, He thinks of ways to approach her but he shakes the thoughts away because Damon is known for being heartless. 

Doctor Falcon, entered the room and Crissy got up and put the chair she sat in next to Rebecca aside. "Is something wrong?" When she noticed doctor Falcon, staring at Rebecca constantly.  "Ah, I'm..."

"What is going here?"

Ramon stepped inside and asked.

"I'm Doctor Falcon, we spoke last yesterday."

Doctor Falcon, replied.

"Oh yeah, but what brings you here?"

Roman asked with a questionnaire look on his face.

"I just came to check on her, as her doctor can I not do that?"

Ramon smiled and said of course you can, as long as it means she's getting better doctors must do their job.

After checking her vitals etc, then he leaves Crissy then tells Ramon what happened early. Ramon thought it's best to keep a close eye as well as a few guards to stand to watch if anything was to happen or the doctor was to have bad intentions. Crissy asked for leave to go back and freshen up. "Take your time and make sure you eat before your return," Ramon told her, he sat next to Rebecca stroking her hair softly. "Why were you running to apologize to me for? We are the one who burned your clothes and made you angry, it's us who is supposed to come and apologize to you." Ramon spoke in a hurtful manner as he looked at her. I'm sorry. He added.

Ramon watches over Rebecca until fallen asleep, when Crissy came-in she sees him sleeping and decides to not disturb she refilled the water by the bedstan and went for a stroll in her free time.
