“No, I’m not going to forgive you”
“Why?”
“Really? You are pretending you don’t know what you did? You call me your man but you are taking sides with that asshole!”
“Aren’t you exhausted?”
“Exhausted from what?”
“From being a hater?”
Gabriel frowned.
“I don’t hate anybody.”
“Really? Because that is what you are doing now”
“You are eager to tag me as a hater just because I’m here protecting my sister who unfortunately doesn’t want to be protected because how in hell would she choose that gold digger over me? She literally almost died and she is choosing to see him first!”
“You are jealous! Lara accused, staring at him intently.
“No, I’m not.”
“Yes, you are.”
“That asshole isn’t worth my jealousy. You know the pain Vicky had gone through in his absence and it would have been better if you had just supported me, instead of humiliating me.”
“You call that humiliation?”
“Where’s the loyalty between us?” Gabriel
“Look Gabe, I love you so much but that doesn’t mean I am going to kiss your ass when you are in the wrong.”
“I know you care so much about Vicky but you are obviously taking this too far.”
“Taking this too far? How?”
“No doubt you care about her but you don’t know where to draw the line.” “What do you mean?”
“Crossing boundaries!”
“Come on, it’s obvious that she doesn’t know what she is doing and that is why I’m here to bring her back to her senses but it looks like i’m failing already?”
“And since all your efforts have proved abortive, don’t you think it’s time to show your support instead?”
“Vicky loves you too but you need to let her make her mistakes as well as her decisions.
“Don’t you think their love is way too strong for all your hate?”
*I understand you. Since everyone wants to make me the bad person then It’s probably time for Vee and I to go ways.

Gabriel was almost walking away when Lara held onto his hand, holding him back.
“You are going too far!”
“What do you mean? If my love is being taken for granted to the extent that it is mistaken for being a hater then maybe I just need to let her go.”
“No, Gabriel, you are not going anywhere and sorry if you feel bad but it’s the truth. No matter how much you want to protect her. I don’t think you can do it all because she’s going to have to take risks and face her fears as well.”
“The fact that Oscar has lots of enemies doesn’t mean he’s a bad person. If after five years, they can still love each other so deeply, then I think there’s very little to what we can do.”
“You are a man and I believe you should have a heart-to-heart talk with Oscar about the way forward and the welfare of your sister and try to help him out so they can both be together.”
“We all know that what happened in the past wasn’t Oscar’s fault and that he loves your sister very much.”
“Vicky’s happiness should be our priority and that being said. I think we should help them, anyway we can, so they can be together”,
“You shouldn’t be talking me into this. That asshole almost got my sister killed.”.
“It isn’t confirmed yet if this is done by one of his enemies but that’s not the point, your sister chose him still and we’ve got to accept that. Vicky needs our support now more than ever.”
Gabriel said nothing, instead, he stood still, staring at his fiancee.
“You are not a terrible person, Gabriel. If you were, then trust me I would have turned you down the day you proposed to me.”
“Sorry about every hurt you feel in this matter but the truth remains that Vicky wants Oscar and we have to respect that.”
“Ill think about it. Let’s go home, after all, She chose to see him over us.” Lara smiled, “You are such a big baby.”
Oscar’s heart rate went up as he took steps behind the Doctor. He was grateful that the love of his life and his baby were doing fine but he had no idea why he was this nervous.
“She’s in here” the Doctor announced when they both came to a halt in front of a door.
‘She’s still recovering so you have to take it easy on her. Talk at her pace and don’t say or do anything that will trigger her. She needs all the love and support she can get right now.
Oscar nodded, “Thank you, Dor.”
The middle-aged doctor nodded after which he took his leave to go attend to other patients.
Oscar robbed his palms together after which he connected his hand to the door handle.
The moment he opened the door, he was greeted with the beeping sounds of the monitor. He shut the door carefully after which his eyes darted to the bed in the middle of the room where Vicky was.
With a very heavy heart, Oscar took slow steps towards the bed and his eyes got all teary all over again taking a glance at her.
Vicky was in a sky-blue hospital dress, she was lying on her side, with a hand around her belly protectively. Oscar could see a couple of bruises on her body. A few on her face, and her hands.
The moment he got to her side, he wiped tears off the corner of his eyes, bent towards her, and placed a soft kiss on her forehead.
Victoria stirred, slowly opening her eyes. She began to tear up when she saw him.
Remembering the Doctor’s instructions, Oscar hurriedly sat by her side, and cuddled her upper body.
“Please hug me tighter.” She cried.
Oscar carefully adjusted her upper body and hugged her tightly as requested.
“I can’t believe you are here with me. I was so scared. I thought I was going to die. I thought I was going to lose our baby and
I won’t see you and Sophie anymore, the truck driver ran into me, I didn’t think I would see my family anymore.” She mumbled, sobbing in his chest.
Oscar sighed as a way to hold back his tears, he kissed the crown of her head once again and softly caressed her back. “It’okay, my love. Please stop crying. You are here with me now and I promise to protect you.”
Oscar’s words didn’t seem to calm Vicky down as she cried even harder in his chest.
“I was so scared too. I was scared that I was going to lose you and our son. I’ve never felt that scared before in my entire life, not even when I had to take business risks” At this point, Oscar felt tears rolling down his cheeks but he didn’t bother to wipe.
them off.
“I almost lost it, Vicky. The thought of not seeing you and being with you again crushed me. It was a very terrible feeling which I don’t want to experience anymore. It was beyond traumatizing.”
“I’m sorry you felt scared and alone. I’m so sorry I wasn’t there with you my love. But you did so well and I’m super proud. of you. You fought to be with us and that’s why you are still in my arms.”
“I promise you that I’m never going to let go. No one is ever going to come in between us no matter how hard they try. It’s me and you against the world, Vee. This too shall pass and we are going to have our happy ending. I promise you, baby.”
