"KEAL"
"KAEL L!!, don't go help me"
When she get no reply she lie there writhing in pain,slowly the pain becomes unbearable,her body is getting heavier, her breathing becomes more shallow,as a last resort she fumble though her dress pick up her phone and call her best friend.
"So–sophia. "
"Selene what happened. "
There was no reply, all Sophia heard was her shallow and heavy breathing.
"SELENE TALK TO ME.!!"
"he-hel-help-help me I can't –"
Selene try speaking but strength leave her body and everything went blank.
"Selene-selene-SELENE !!"
Sophie yell but she get no answer.
"Selene don't scared me please am calling 911 now."
Inside ward 402 Selene eye fluttered open and what greet her was a white ceiling of the hospital and the constant beeping of a machine,a drip is attached to her hand, she was clothed in the hospital gown.
"What happen. "
"Selene you are awake."
Sophie sprang up from her chair and went to Selene side excitedly upon hearing her voice.
"What happen?,how did I get here?."
"I brought you here Selene."
"My baby,is my baby okay. "
Selene asked,her heart beat racing,she fear the worst.
"Selene um..why don't you eat something first."
"Don't divert the question Sophia."
"Selene–The doctor said you have a– miscarriage "
Selene become dazed , unconsciously she started patting her chest with her right hand,tears streams down her already messy face.
silently she sobbed while clutching her chest hard,she started murmuring unclear words,her body went numb and she started trembling.
Immediately the machine in the ward started beeping wildly,alarm went off in the room.
"DOCTOR! DOCTOR!!!"
Sophie yell out loud she didn't know what else to do.
"Selene stay with me-stay with me "
Sophia now by Selene side hold her hand tightly afraid she would disappear from there.
The door burst open, the doctor and his medical crew rush in,and they immediately went to work.
After stabilizing Selene condition and making sure she is fast asleep, the doctor turn to Sophie asking her to recount the situation.
After hearing what happened the doctor decide to call Selene husband– Keal.
-----
Keal sitting on a chair in his office looks at the letter and the picture attached to it,the letter looks weary and old,its had been three years since he received this letter from an anonymous sender.
'Your wife is having an affair.'
That is just the sentence in the letter with an attached picture of Selene intimately holding hands with man she was smiling affectionately at the man.
They look like an old couple taking a walk in the park.
The man face though was blurred,he couldn't recognize him no matter how much he look.
He had tried investigating the source of the letter secretly but there is no result yet,he had even consider confronting her directly, but he didn't want to expose the letter yet.
Being the ceo of the company,the pressure was enormous,couple with suspicion of his wife affair,and the ever growing threat from rival companies.All this just left him frustrated.
Selene is really in pain this morning,maybe i pushed her too hard, I really don't want to be too harsh on her but i can't seem to get that picture out of my mind.
*Grrrrrrrrrrrrr*
The ringtone of his phone break off his train of thought, looking at the phone it's was unknown number.
"Hello who is this?."
"Hello this from the hospital"
"How may I help you "
"Am calling to inform you that your wife is currently hospitalized in our hospital "
"WHAT!!"
He roared through the phone, spranging up his feet,he grabbed his car keys and rushed out.
"Which hospital is it ?where is it located?tell me NOW!!."
"Our hospital is located at—".
His mind ws all over the place, is it because of the push? he thought to himself.
running through multiple red light,he arrives at the hospital.
Selene open her eyes and seeing the white ceiling of the hospital,memories rush to back to her accompany it, is pain and the sudden emptiness in her stomach.
So it's not a bad dream.
Before she recover from her reverie the door burst open and Keal rush in.
"What happen"
He asked the nurse attending to Selene with unhidden concern written all over his face.
"Am sorry to say this but your wife had lost her baby ,she had miscarriage."
Hearing all this all the concerns in his face disappeared.
The atmosphere become heavy,his jaw tighten,he clench his fist hard.
Could this be my child,we didn't go at it this month at all, then how?.
Could it be that man in the picture, it's has to be.
"Who is the father "
He bark at Selene,the picture and the latter from three years ago kept reappearing in his mind.
"What did you mean by who is the father?of course it's your–."
"Shut up!!!"
"That is definitely not my child "
"So it's true,I can't believe this."
"How can you be saying this to a woman that just lost her pregnancy."
Sophia tried to rescue the situation but-
"Mind your business bitch, and this is my family."
"I think you are making this worse mr kael "
The nurse chime in.
"You are the one that should leave, this is my family."
Hearing this the nurse leave the ward and Sophia follow, leaving selene alone with Kael.
"Now we are alone you can talk freely "
"I don't understand what you are saying,wait -did you think I'm having an affair!!."
"Meet me at home if you are better. "
Keal said,and walks away
The door open and Sophia enter the ward.
"are you going to be okay."
"Don't worry it's fine he is just stressed from work."
----
Sophie drop Selene at home,she had been friends with Selene since childhood,and she had never see her so silent and weary like this,she just hope she will be okay.
When Selene enter her house Keal was already sitting on the couch waiting for her.
Upon seeing her he stood up,put a document on the table and said to her "let's get a divorce ".
