★(TOGETHER AGAIN)★
“Bring back my Bluebell please!!!!” Romeo cried devastatingly, still pulling the doctors collars strongly, he’s almost choking them.
“Mr Spencer… Mr Spencer don’t do this” they struggled to get away from him .
“How am I supposed to live without her, how!!!!, Just…just tell me” he cried, looking at Juliet’s body on the bed.
He slowly let them go and walked slowly towards the bed.
Gina is still unconscious in Naomi’s arms and Naomi is still crying profusely.
Romeo got to the bed and knelt beside it, looking at her as his tears fell on the bed.
He held her cold lifeless hand and smiled bitterly.
“The two girls you wanted, we’ll have them, I don’t want a boy and a girl anymore, let’s have the two girls you want, just come back to me please….I’m gonna die too” he cried, squeezing her hand.
“You said you wanted Joel to die, he’s dead. You said you wanted to become a popular writer like me, I’ll help you achieve that, you said you wanted to get married to me in the biggest hall in Mexico, I was planning to propose to you on Valentine’s day, that was my plan!!!, Though we started not long ago but I’ve come to love you more than I can control Juliet… please…. come back to me” he cried with quivering li-ps.
“I love you so much Juliet, please come back to me, I want to be with you forever, just you Bluebell, just you” he cried again.
“Wake up!!!!” He shouted, shedding more tears.
She kept lying down like a log of wood, not moving an inch.
“Really?, Should we go to the afterlife together then?, Should we?” He smiled and released her hand.
He dipped his hand into his pocket and luckily he found a pen.
He raised it up to his ne-ck.
“Romeo no!” Naomi quickly let go of Gina and stood.
She started rushing to him with the doctors as he tried to stab his ne-ck with the pen.
He almost did it before they got to him but they were able to grab him.
“Romeo don’t do it!”
Agnes rushed in instantly, she actually came with the last car.
She stopped by the door when she saw what’s going on.
“No” she muttered, falling on her bu-tt.
“No!!!” She cried loudly, holding her head.
“It’s all my fault”
The doctors and Naomi were still trying to hold Romeo in place when they heard a sound…
They stopped struggling and the sound came again.
“Ro..Meo”
Agnes looked up quickly.
It actually came from Juliet’s bed.
Romeo pushed the doctors away and ran to the bed, almost falling on his face.
Her eyes are still closed.
“Juliet” he whispered, his tears still falling.
The doctors intervened immediately and he refused to go out as the stethoscope was used on her .
The doctor seems shocked and he requested for defibrillators immediately.
He started giving her shocks and shockingly, she responded.
“Juliet please… come back to me” Romeo prayed silently.
Her monitor was connected again and her vitals started reading.
“Juliet!”
“Rom…Meo” she whispered, still not opening her eyes.
“God” Romeo knelt beside her bed immediately, holding her her hand.
“I love you so much, I do,I love you bells, I love you” he said tearfully.
“She came back” Naomi mumbled shockingly.
“I guess it’s not her time yet” one of the doctors replied with a big smile.
Agnes spranged up.
“She really came back” she whispered as the morgue attendants left.
Gina opened her eyes and Naomi quickly rushed to her.
“Mummy Gina!”
“My baby is….
“Your baby is back” Naomi smiled.
“Huh?
Gina stood up and when she saw Romeo holding her hand beside the bed, she rushed there and held the second one.
“Juliet… my baby” she sobbed, ki-ssing the hand.
“Thanks for coming back, thanks for not making me live in regrets for the rest of my life”
“Why is she not opening her eyes?” Romeo said.
“The gas, she’s probably having difficulty opening it” a doctor replied and Romeo quickly faced him.
“What do you mean?”
“Don’t get the wrong idea, it’s just for now”
Romeo inhaled and faced Juliet again.
“I love you” he whispered.
Merritt came in next, with Reid.
“Bestie!” She ran to her bed.
“She’s back to us” Gina said and she inhaled, fighting back her tears.
“You don’t know how scared I was….so scared” she sniffed.
Reid placed an hand on Romeo’s shoulder.
“It’s ok bro”
“Michelin has been captured…. right?” Agnes asked.
“Trust us,we got her at the hotel” Merritt smiled.
“What about that bastard… Justus” Naomi asked.
“He won’t escape either, the whole division of cops are after him so even if he hides in a cave, we’ll get him” Merritt replied and Agnes inhaled.

AREA POLICE STATION
“I fell for him but he didn’t even notice me!” Michelin shouted at Kyle who’s interrogating her.
She’s wearing the inmate uniform already.
“So because of that, you ruined his life” Kyle said.
“I just wanted him!, I love him!” She shouted like a mad woman.
“Why did you join the B4 then?, You should have confessed your feelings instead of going this far, don’t you think?”
“I’ve been in love with him since highschool, but he sees us as friends, just friends with the other B4 members, he hates showing interest in girls so tell me how I’d get the courage to confess to him….then when we got to college, I wanted to summon the courage but Avril appeared, it’s obvious he fell head over heels for her” she smi-rked as she talked.
“And?”
“She was acting like miss perfect and he wouldn’t stop smiling at the mention of her name, then news broke one day that they’ve started dating, I went wild with anger and tried to kill her in an accident but she escaped, then I started sending her death treat letters”
“Who wrote them?”
“Spy” she replied.
“He has been working with you since that long?”
“Yes, he wrote them and I sent then as he wrote, then I achieved my aim when she broke up with him and left Mexico after his mum’s death, it left him shattered”
“Then?”
“You already know the rest, I went to see him and drugged him, he had se-x with me like I wanted, but I made it look like ra-pe in the video so I’d have something to use against him when I start my game, then I got pregnant and went to England, keeping it from everyone, i gave birth to Krystal and came back to Mexico”
“You killed Megan Mel by paying her maid to poison her coffee”
“Yes, obviously” Michelin replied.
“Then when the cops started looking for her, you got rid of the maid too”
Michelin rolled eyes.
“You payed Rhonda to kill miss Juliet but when she got caught, you payed a cop to eliminate her”
“Yes, sergeant Basi” she replied.
“Basi is so dead” Swan said, leaving the adjoining room.
“Where’s Krystal right now?”
“She’s with Edgar, at Sparkles hotel” Michelin replied.
“Who’s Edgar?”
“My friend since we were in diapers, we’re family friends”Michelin said.
“Now to Justus Spencer…
“That bastard covered my secret when he saw how I killed my aunt…
“Imelda Georg?”
“Yes, I killed her when she found out about my secret”
“Autopsy revealed that she died from heart failure”
Michelin laughed.
“Damn autopsy, I killed her, but the injection did the job” she said.
“So?”
“He kept my secret and suggested we work together since he wanted Juliet too, that’s why he helped me when the cops came to my place, but that bastard backstabbed me and killed Romeo” she replied.
“Do you have any idea of where he might be?”
“He talked about an emergency hideout around Lenovo close but I don’t know the exact location”
“Lenovo close again?, That place is a street of criminals”
“He said he has a yellow house hideout in the street”
Kyle stood.
“Mr Spencer is alive”
“What!, Romeo is alive?” Michelin stood.
The cuffs peeled the skin on her wrist already so it’s bleeding.
“Yes, miss Juliet too” Kyle smiled and she fell back on her chair.
“Good luck in jail”
Kyle left the room and she hit her head on the table, hurting herself.
She started bleeding on the head.
“No!!!!!!!!, No it’s impossible!!!!, No!!!!!!”
She kept hitting her forehead on the table as she screamed.
“No!!!!!!!!!!”

BACK IN THE HOSPITAL
Baby came some minutes ago and the ward became fuller.
Juliet is still not talking and her eyes are still closed, she’s just breathing peacefully.
Gina and Romeo are still holding her as Mona came in, holding Thiago.
“Chairman Spencer” Baby said, rushing to take him from Mona.
He looks even older and more wrinkles appeared on his face.
Though he’s still walking with his stick but he still looks unbalanced.
“Romeo” he said as he walked to him.
Romeo looked at him and kept sitting till he got to him and tou-ched his shoulder.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t come since you returned, no one to bring me” he said guiltily.
“It’s ok, how have you been?” Romeo asked.
“I thought I was gonna lose you, I almost died when you fell into the river” he replied.
“He was revived at the hospital, he really almost died” Baby confirmed.
“I’m back” Romeo said sullenly.
“I’m glad” Thiago smiled and looked over at Juliet.
“She’ll be fine, cos I have to attend the wedding” he said and Romeo looked at him.
“Dad” he called and Thiago released tears from his eyes.
“Thanks for calling me that again after seven whole years.
Mona wanted to move closer but the guilt about Justus made her run out of the ward.
She started crying outside the ward, squ-atting down in front of it.
? Doctor Mona
? She’s the one, Justus Spencer’s mother
? The kidnapper’s mother
? How could she show up here?
? Her son is callous, you should have seen when he did to Juliet.
? She almost died
? No she died but came back.
The pas-sing nurses and residents whispered among themselves.
Mona stood and rushed out of the hospital in tears.

MONA HOSPITALS**
Agnes peeped into Sugar’s ward and when she saw he’s awake, she smiled before going in with the bouquet of flowers.
His bandages are gone.
“br@t!” Sugar brightened up immediately.
“Miss Sugar” she replied and he smiled cutely.
“It’s Mr” he said, taking the flower from her.
“I’m not Mr Romeo who loves flowers” he said, returning his eyes to her after smelling the flowers.
“Then what do you want?”
“A ki-ss” he replied and she took the flower, she hit it on his head.
“br@t!, I’m in an hospital bed for crying out loud!” He protested and she smiled before sitting back.
She started looking at him.
“What?, Is there something on my face?” He tou-ched his face.
“Thank you” she said seriously.
“What?”
“For saving my life” she said and he smiled.
“Thanks for coming back without getting hurt too” he said.
She wide-ned her arms and he smiled again before hu-gging her.
She tried to break it but he ti-ghtened it.
“One more minute” he giggled.
“Two more?” She chuckled.
“Even better” he replied, touching her hair fondly.

NEXT DAY≈ LENOVO CLOSE**
Merritt and her team has been searching the whole street since yesterday and they haven’t relented.
They’ve searched all the yellow houses but seems he disappeared into thin air.
“Is he really in this street?, Are you sure Michelin is not playing a trick on us?” Swan said.
“We’ve searched all the yellow houses but he really didn’t seem like he’s here” Kyle said and Merritt sighed, checking her wristwatch.
It’s 3pm but there’s still no progress.
She was about to suggest that they should go for rest when she remembered something.
She faced them.
“Wait… yellow house might not really mean that the house was painted yellow” she said.
“Whoa” Swan said shockingly.
“You’re right!” Kyle said immediately.
“Yellow house might be the name of an house” Merritt further said and luckily, a woman pas-sed by.
“Madam…”
“Swift Angel” the woman smiled gracefully.
“Is there any house known as yellow house here?” Merritt asked.
“Of course!, The bet house” the woman replied.
Merritt looked at Swan and Kyle, and five minutes later…
Their car came to an halt in front of the house and they all went in at once.
It’s a full house of gamblers so they went in without acting suspicious, looking over everywhere while communicating with buds.
Seems he’s not here too because even after ten minutes, he’s still not found.
Merritt was about to turn to another direction and tell the others to leave when she suddenly noticed boots.
It’s same with the one Justus was wearing in the footage.
The face of the person wearing it right now was covered with a newspaper.
It looks more odd that the person is reading such in a bet house.
She wasted no time in snatching the paper from him the person and just as she expected, it’s Justus.
He was fast to pour beer on her face and it stung her eyes as it pene-trated.
He stood and tried to escape but despite her hurting eyes, Merritt got her gun and shot at his leg.
Everywhere scattered immediately, the gamblers started running out.
“Arrggg!!” Justus Gr0-ned, going down.
Swan and Kyle joined Merritt.
Merritt moved closer to Justus and poured beer on his face before punching him.
He bled from the mouth as he went down.
“Cuff him Kyle” Swan said.

TWO DAYS LATER≈ HOSPITAL**
Romeo’s head is on the bed beside Juliet.
He’s not sleeping though, he’s staring at Juliet like that, holding her right hand.
He hasn’t slept at all since it all started, he stares at her even at nights.
Gina left some minutes ago to use the restroom.
“When are you opening your eyes?, When are you waking up?, When are you gonna talk to me?” He said, looking at her more closely.
Like a dream, her lids made way for each other and her eyes opened slowly.
His eyes wide-ned as he spranged up.
“Juliet!”
Her eyes turned to him and she smiled dryly.
“Babes” she called and tears fell from his red eyes at once.
“Bluebell…my life” he sobbed and leaned to her on the bed.
He ki-ssed her face round and she kept smiling slowly.
“Romeo…
“Shh, don’t talk, I’ll do all the talking” she interrupted and ki-ssed her hands.
“We’ll have the two girls you want ok?, Don’t just leave me anymore, we still have more chocolate ice cream to eat together, we still hay more pink cu-pcakes to devour, we still have more ki-sses to share and babies to make, don’t dare leave me Bluebell” he said and she sat up immediately.
He sat in front of her, still crying.
She wiped his tears with her fingers and kept holding his face.
“I’m sorry” she said and he only cried more.
“For turning my back on you when I saw the video, I’m so sorry”.
“It’s just how you should react so stop feeling guilty, don’t feel that way” he replied and she started crying too.
“I thought I was never gonna ki-ss you again, I was scared Romeo”
“Me too, you almost left me, you almost made me run mad” he sniffed.
“I can’t live without you anymore, I can’t” she said, still ru-b-bing his face.
Romeo held her hand and ki-ssed it.
“Me too, the bad ones are all gone right now, it’s not over” he smiled sobbingly.
“I love you so much babes, I love you endlessly, I love you” she cried happily.
“I love you more Juliet, I love you senselessly Bluebell, so much that I can’t handle it anymore, please stay with me forever…. please… please Juliet”
“I’ll always be right beside you Romeo, cos you’re my everything” she cried.
“Gosh…. Bluebell” Romeo hu-gged her ti-ghtly and she wrapped her arms around him too, burying her face in the crook of his ne-ck.
His scent filled her nose once again and her already dark world because bright.
Having her in his arms again made Romeo’s shattered pieces start building up.
“Oh my Juliet” he whispered.
“I want to stay in your arms like this forever”
