"I'm sorry if I believed what I found out right away, I thought you were actually aborting our child."
Extreme remorse could be seen in Drew's voice and eyes as he said those words.
I sighed and turned my full attention to Drew.
"It's not the right place and time for us to talk about that thing Drew." I seriously respond to what he said. He just nodded at what I said.
We have a lot to talk about our past, but I don’t think it’s the right time yet. We are still in the hospital and we are waiting for Sunny's recovery.
She is sound asleep now while Drew and I are at the foot of her bed. From then on Drew never took his attention away from Sunny. I never thought this is how you feel when you see two important people in your life happy.
"Aren't you still going to answer Belle's call? Sunny is already asleep, it's okay Drew. Answer it first," I told him. Earlier, his phone kept ringing but he didn't seem to have any intention of answering it.
"It wasn't important compared to this moment Sydney, it's more important now than the time I'll spend just answering Belle's useless call. Besides, the wedding is already off." He said seriously that I was stunned.
"But you know them Drew! Especially Aunt Fely!" I said worriedly to him. Drew immediately hugged me.
"Like I told you before, I can protect you, you and our daughter. So don't worry." He said softly before kissing me on the forehead.
"B-but I'm still scared Drew," I don't know but I still can't calm down. I know and feel that Drew can protect us—but I can’t explain this fear I feel in my heart. I don’t know for what this fear that surrounded me now.
Instead of answering me, Drew just hugged me tightly again. Through his hugs, that fear of me gradually disappeared. That fear I feel for my daughter and me.
"Uhm, Drew?" He let go of hugging me and he turned his gaze to me.
"Can you take care of Sunny first? I just need to go home to get Sunny and me dressed."
"Why it is needed to be you? You can please it with Grace, can't you?" He said. I shook because Grace couldn't. I told her to went home because she needs to rest. I also tried to call her earlier but she didn't answer, maybe because she was already asleep. She also stayed up all night last night because she was the first one I watched over Sunny while I was thinking about what I could do.
"I can't, I let her rest first." I answered. He got my point so eventually Drew also agreed for me to go home first.
"All right as long as you'll be careful, okay? Don't worry, I'll join you my staff."
"Okay." While on the way home, I suddenly felt that fear and nervousness in my chest again.
"Damn!" I was surprised when the car stopped suddenly. We were now riding in the black SUV where I was with four of Drew’s crew.
"Is there a problem?" I wonder. No one answered from them, but they quickly got out of the car.
"There was a problem ma'am, the car's tire ran out of air."
"What? How's that, I need to get back to the hospital right away!"
"I'm sorry ma'am,"
I know they didn't intentionally break down the car so I have no right to be angry with them.
"It's okay. It doesn't matter, my apartment is just near here. I'll just ride a tricycle." I told them.
"We will join you." Volunteering of the three of them. I quickly shook them. It would be better if they just come here to make it easier for them to fix the car.
"No need, you're just stay here. I'll be home for a while, don't worry either, because I'll be right back here when I get our things." I smiled at them. They didn't insist anymore, but they immediately agreed to what I wanted.
I immediately rode the tricycle to the apartment I was renting. When I arrived I hurried inside.
"Grace?" I call Grace. The door is open so maybe she's awake.
"Grace I'm here just to get Sunny and I's stuff, I'm leaving right away." I said in a loud voice as I climbed the stairs.
I just got Sunny and I's things and I still can't hear Grace's presence. So, I decided to check her on her room.
"Grace!" I immediately cried when I saw her tied to her own bed. There was also a handkerchief stuck to her mouth which made her unable to speak.
When I was about to approach Grace to untie her, Belle was the first to meet me.
I almost feel dizzy because of the force of her slap on me.
"How dare you!" She shouted angrily in my face after she slapped me.
"Why did you do this to me, Sydney, why!? Why did you steal Andrew from me? Why didn't you bring him to our wedding?"
My eyes widened when she suddenly pulled out a gun from inside the wedding dress she was wearing.
"I didn't steal anything from you,Belle." I said in a trembling voice.
"Really? If you didn't, then why Andrew didn't come to the wedding we were supposed to have earlier? Because he went to see you first? You and your fvckin' daughter? Is that it Sydney?"
I recoiled when she pointed the gun she's holding at me. My whole body was shaking. I made my two hands protective against possible bullets that might have come out of the gun pointed at me.
"P-please, Belle...put that down! Let's talk, let's talk about it!" I begged to her. I don't want to die now, especially since my daughter is still sick. Sunny needs me, I can't be lost for my daughter, yet.
"Talk? All right, it's really easy for me to talk to Sydney. Give me Andrew and stay away from us!" She said angrily and seriously.
"Is that all? All right! If that's what you want. It's up to you Andrew as long as you don't have anything else to do with it!" Despite the fear, I still decided to be brave in front of Belle.
"What do you think of me Syd? Stupid? I know that even if you voluntarily give me Andrew, he's still into you—so it's just like this! What if I just kill you now? What do you think Syd?"
She's crazy!
A loud gunshot stunned me. I don’t know what I’m going to do.
"Graceee!" She shot Grace. The next thing I realized was the blood flowing into the floor.
"You're a demon Belle! What did you do to Grace! You're a beast!"
Eventually I decided to rush Belle to get the gun from her. I managed to get that gun from her and then I pointed it at her.
"Leave if you don't want me to shoot you!" I shouted angrily at her. I saw so much fear in her eyes because I made a gun point at her.
"Go away!" I shout again. She immediately ran away when I shouted again. But before that she said something else that cooled my whole body.
"For your fuckin 'information my dearest not blood-related cousin! My Mommy and Daddy are already holding your child!"
I tried to chased her but its too late. My hands trembled as I let go of the gun I was holding. I quickly untied Grace from her bondage. I also tried to check her wrist. I breathed a sigh of relief when I felt she still had a pulse.
"I need to take you to the hospital!" I said confusedly before I let her out of the house. I was so thankful that Drew's four staff finally arrived, the car was fixed so we got to the hospital right away.
