EPISODE 7
 
 
Kimberly’s POV 😘
I took my appointment letter and file placed it on my desk. I was alre-ady looking for an ap@rtment around town where I could stay so I didn’t have to spend hours of travel everyday, so far I’ve had no luck.
“Let’s go Ms brown. We’re getting late”. Kaleb said in front of the elevator.
I picked up my bag and dashed after him, just in time before the elevator door dinged open. We entered together and when the door was shut I felt Kaleb aura. I’d generally avoid staying near Kaleb for too long since it felt suffocating after a while.
Finally the door opened and we arrived at the ground floor. The receptionist at the front desk Mina informed Kaleb that Martin was at the front door with his car while I took the opportunity to cancel the two appointments we had this afternoon. It was as soon as I stepped out the front door that all hell broke loose.
In front of me Kaleb froze suddenly causing me to almost bu-mp into me and then two sh0ts were fired next to us causing the glas-s door to shatter and screams filled the air as everyone tried to look for cover.
“Get inside now!” Kaleb roared out shielding me with his b©dy. I froze in the sp©t unable to move or scream with my b©dy shivering badly.
“Kimberly!” Kaleb yelled again and shoved me behind the door just as the third $h!t rang. I fell back and the pieces of glas-s prick my leg but before I could concentrate on my self my eyes fell on Kaleb and everything else around me vanished.
Kaleb stood at the front door, but his shoulder was hunched and one of his arms was around his middle. It was then I realized the blood dripping from his f!ngersand the white jacket he was wearing was socked with blood. I wasn’t thinking when I got up and ran towards Kaleb just before he coll@psed on the floor.
“Kaleb! Kaleb! plea-se stay with me!” I called bout but he didn’t seem to hear me. He clutched his middle with his left as he tried using his right side to stand up again.
“Get….in….the…car” he managed to say.
It was only then I noticed Martin waving us over as he opened the back door. I put Kaleb right arm on my shoulders and held him ti-ghtly using all my strength to try and lift him. Once we were at our feet, we ran the few meters to his car and Martin opened the door for us.
“Martin, get him to nearest hospital ASAP!” I took off the grey coat I was wearing and used it to press his che-st. Now that I took a closer look the bullet had hit a few inches below his heart, Kaleb was definitely the target.
I pu-ll-ed out my phone with one hand while applying pressure on Kaleb wound with my other hand, I immediately dailed Denlian number.
“Kim is everything alright? I heard Kaleb was hurt! Is he okay” Denlian sounded panicked.
“He’s bleeding badly, we’re on our way to the nearest hospital. I call you as soon as he’s admitted.” I looked at Kaleb and she his eyes closing “Kaleb! Don’t close your eyes we’re almost there!”
The car c@m£ to a sharp halt. Martin got down and rushed into the hospital. Two male nurses c@m£ running out with a stretcher with Martin leading the way. They st©pped to open the door just as another car st©pped behind us.
“Kaleb!” Denlian ran towards the door and pu-ll-ed it open. “Martin, hold his legs, I’ll hold him from the front. Kim it best you push him towards us slow and steady”, Dan informed us.
****************
“Here”
I re-moved my hand from my face and saw Denlian handing me a cu-p of coffee. “Thanks but I-”
“Don’t feel like having anything. That’s what you’ve said for the last four hours. Kim plea-se you nee-d to have something if you wish to stay awake”.
I sighed. He really doesn’t take no for an answer so I took the cu-p from him and took a sip. “He’s lost lot of blood”
“Indeed. But they’ve been operating in him for the past six hours he’ll be fine. And the doctors said the bullet got stuck in his intestines missing the vital organ”.
“You’re holding up well” I said facing him
“Not really. I’ve had men looking around for any possible shooter. The NYPD are also on the case now but it’s going to take some time. There are fifteen skyscr@p£rs around the area and you could have gotten a clear at Riverside from any angles. The sh0t could have been from anywhere”.
Denlian stood up as the doctor emerged from the operating room.
“We’ve extracted the bullet fortunately it didn’t cause much damage. Well transfer him to the ICU and examine him properly for days and Then he can go home.
“Thank you Dr Jackson”. Denlian shook hands with the doctor before he turned and went the opposite direction.
“I’ll stay at Mary place today, I don’t nee-d my mum to freak out from all this” I told Denlian
“That’s a good idea, I’ll have Martin drop you off”.
Leaving Denlian to take care of Kaleb I let Martin drop me off at Mary’s place to spend the rest of the night at her place, unaware of that a pair of blue eyes we’re following my move.

EPISODE 8
 
I started at the man in disbelief. How could he do that! And to think that I was worried about him. Obviously he wasn’t that hurt of he could ban-g a nurse while he was hospitalized after getting sh0t only two days ago.
I moved out from the curtains and strode out the door slamming it ha-rd on my way out dumping the flowers I bought for him into the trash can outside the door to Kaleb room. I’d nearly made it to the exit when I heard someone calling my name. Dan!
I turned around with a fake smile on my face but it was obvious that I wasn’t doing a good job. “You’re angry? What did my brother do this time?”
“He did absolutely nothing other than just being himself”.
“Oh boy! I’m really sorry for whatever he did. I hope he hasn’t done something to hurt you?”. He asked
“Hurt me? No! But do give a pat on his back when his wounds reopen after fv¢king the nurse!” Denlian looked taken aback with my sudden outbur-st. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to snap at you”.
“No apologies required”. He said giving me a reas-suring smile. “I’m glad that you’re worried about him very few people do that”.
“But you do”. I told him
“I worry because it’s my duty. He’s my brother and I know he worries about me just as much as I do about him. He just has a ha-rd time showing it.”
“I’ll be off now. It was nice meeting you. And don’t forget to knock the door before you enter”.I informed him
“Will do”. He waved me goodbye and went back in the direction he c@m£ from.
Kaleb POV
“Should you be up and about alre-ady?”
I didn’t nee-d to look behind to know who was speaking but I was surprised when he placed a bouquet of flowers on my table. “You got me flowers?”
“Of course not! Kim brou-ght them for you but then she saw you with the nurse and dumped them in the trash on her way out”.
“You picked them out of the trash can?”
“No” he frowned. “She forgot to open the lid and they were so pretty that I didn’t want them to be thrown away yet”.
Denlian knew I hated flowers but that doesn’t mean I was about to throw them away. Kim had bought them for me personally. “Anything on the shooter?”.
“No” Denlian’s eyes darkened until they were the colour of blood. “It worries me de-eply, this attack wasn’t just some rival company trying to get rid of competition”.
“I figured as much. Normal bullet won’t have the same effect on me. And whoever sh0t knew exactly where to shoot to cause more pain”. The wound still stung and I wasn’t careful enough it might reopen but the nurse helped, but not as much as I’d hoped she would. The amount of life f0rç£ a human had was directly proportional to how much time that person had left in this Earth. Some had smaller lifespan as compared to others and the nurse didn’t have much time left, a few years at most. I didn’t want to steal more than necessary for me to seal the wound.
“And I can see that the nurse has done wonders to you” Denlian said with amusement on his face.
“Kimberly told you that?”, I raised an eyebrow.
“on the contrary, she was worried you’d reopen your wound. But I thought I detected a hint of jealousy in her voice. Are you sure there’s nothing going on between you two?”.
“I think you know better than I do that we don’t sleep with staff. Wasn’t that one of the things the Queen had taught us?” I told him sharply.
Denlian sighed and ru-bbe-d his nose. “Mother has asked that you pres£nt yourself at court”.
“Why?” This time it was my eyes that turned red.
“I have no idea” he stood up from his seat and straighten his jacket. “It can’t be anything good if you ask me”
“I figured as much. And I had a very good idea of what might be in stall for me once I reach court and face my father. But I would like an audience with her first. Alone”.
He nodded his head. “I’ll arrange that. I have to go now, I’ll contact you as soon as I get her reply”.
