Episode 22
“Jimmy please speed up. Her breathing is getting really weak” Dina yells. Jimmy looks at the back seat nervously, it felt like the life of his bestfriend and his lover was in his hand.
What was going on was all mystery to Jimmy, but he was going to get to the bottom of it.
“Crystal you’re going to be okay” Dina prayed in her mind.
Immediately they reached the hospital Jimmy helped Xander out, he was surprised at the strength Dina possessed as she carried Crystal up and ran into the local hospital.
…….. ……
“Stella… Hey Stella are you okay” Carlos asked Stella waving his hands at her face which seemed to be lost in the computer.
“Carlos I just had the weirdest nightmare”
“Nightmare??, you were never sleeping??” He said, she rolled her eyes at him dramatically and sighed.
“Carlos shut up. Gold walked in and shot you in the head and poured acid on my face” Dina said and earned a mocking laugh from Carlos.
“Too much of Telemundo, Korean movies and Bollywood has done your fragile brain a lot of harm.. Acid” He scoffed and laughed then turned a serious face immediately.
“Stella, Crystal is Loretta but she’s not the old Crystal we know. One blow from her made us pass out. We have to get rid of her and we’ll have to do it fast” Carlos said and looked at Crystal’s picture again. He couldn’t believe this was the lady he used and dumped mom than 5 years ago.
………….
Jimmy watched as Dina paced around in the halls of the hospital.
Why was she so concerned about Loretta
Who were the people that attacked them and why.
He stopped thinking about it when the the doctor came out and looked at Dina, the look on his face was difficult to read.
“How are you related to the patients” The doctor asked. Dina looked back at Jimmy, she wasn’t going to tell him yet that she knew Crystal.
“The guy is my boyfriend’s brother and the girl is his wife” She said referring to Jimmy as her boyfriend.
“Okay there’s a good news and bad news. Which one should I spill first”
“The good news”
“The bad news”
Jimmy and Dina said at the same time.
“Okay, the good news is the male patient didn’t lose a lot of blood and the bullet didn’t go straight to his heart so he has 50/50 chance of survival, we’ve stitched him up. Let’s just hope he wakes up in the next 24 hours so we can carry the next procedure on him. The bad news is….” Dina held Jimmy’s hand, she had never been this scared in her life, Crystal was like a sister to her and if anything terrible happened to Crystal, she wouldn’t be able to bear it especially when it’s because of their b@stard boss.
“The bad news is the male patient lost a lot of blood, she was shot twice. The truth is she was already dead when you brought her but we were able to bring her back. In the state she’s in, we need someone to donate blood to her in the next 72 hours if not there will be no other choice than to remove the baby and do…”
“Baby!!”
Dina and Jimmy exclaimed.
“Yes she’s pregn@nt but am afraid if we don’t find a suitable donor we’ll have no choice but to remove the baby and do a surgery”
“Loretta is pregn@nt. Could it be for Xander, of course it’s for Xander” Jimmy said.
“So you guys should bring a blood donor immediately in the next 3 days” The doctor said and left.
“I’ll donate the blood” Jimmy said.
“Ok” Dina said and smiled, she would have donated the blood but their blood group didn’t match.
What if Jimmy’s blood group don’t match hers.
Will she ask the doctor’s to remove Crystal’s baby.
She knew Crystal’s chance of having a baby was low. It’ll be very heartless to remove this one.
“Dina everyone’s going to be okay” Jimmy comforted her.
He follows a nurse and goes to take his blood sample.
…………
Jimmy walks out looking dissapointed, the smile on Dina’s face vanished immediately she saw the dissapointment on Jimmy’s face.
“You’ve donated the blood right” She asked hoping to get a positive answer.
“Am sorry our blood group doesn’t match”
“Fk” Dina cur$ed and brushed her hair with her hand.
“Erm…. so what are we going to do” Jimmy asked.
“Am not sure yet” Dina replied and sat on a sofa.
Who was going to donate the blood to Crystal now especially when they’ve ran out of all the options, she wouldn’t allow the doctor remove the baby at least not without Crystal’s permission. She wasn’t even sure if Crystal knew she was pregnant if not she would have told her already.
“God what are we going to do now” Dina exclaimed and stands up again.
Something clicks in her thoughts.
“Gold…. Erm Jimmy do you know Xander’s father’s house??” She asked.
“Sure, why do you ask” He asked.
“Take me there, now ”
“Dina this is after 2. The estate’s gate is closed again. We’ll have to wait for at least 4 hours before they open it, but why do you even want to go ”
“Jimmy don’t ask any questions just please take me there”
“But I just can’t be following your orders and ask no questions. How are you related to Loretta?? I don’t know. Why are we in this fking mess?? I don’t know. Your name, YOUR NAME!!, I don’t even know that as well. This is fked up”
“My name’s Jennifer, I knew Loretta from the club. It turned out that she was actually a close friend years ago. Satisfied??”
“I don’t believe you but yes” Jimmy said and looked at the time.
“Do you want us to drive and wait at the estate gate or do you want us to wait here”
“Let’s go Jimmy. There’s no time” Dina said and dragged Jimmy.
……………………
“Stella this is after 2. I need to sleep please” Carlos complained and dragged the pillow from her.
“Sleep. Carlos you want to sleep. I want you to drive me to Leonard’s house, if Crystal is Loretta then that means Gold is a huge threat to us, I mean what if both mother and father are planning against us” Stella said and pulled Carlos.
“So what do you want to do at Leonard’s house”
“Start working my plans on him. Tell him he married the lover of his son, he’ll call Xander and tell him about it. Xander would be disappointed that she lied and deceived him, he’ll break up with her and I’ll be here to comfort his broken heart”
“Yeah right. The way he looks at Crystal I don’t think anything can separate them, not even stupid plan” Carlos said and placed the pillow on his head and closed his eyes.
…………………
HOURS LATER
Dina sighs and rings the doorbell of the mansion, Jimmy was sitting in the car.
Seconds later a young maid comes and opens the door.
“Good morning Madam. How can I help you” She said with a sweet smile.
“Your Madam. Where’s she, I need to see her”
“Am sorry but who are you” The maid asked looking confused.
“Just go call your madam” Dina insisted.
“Am sorry Madam but you can’t just….” She stopped when she felt Dina push something in her stomach. It was a gun.
“Please don’t hurt me. Am just a maid” She pleaded.
“Shut the fk up, go and call your madam for me” Dina said, she nodded and ran inside.
Dina entered the mansion and looked around viewing the building. Minutes later a woman walked down, this was the second time Dina was seeing Gold.
First time was 5 years ago when Gold threw all of Crystal’s things out and asked her to go fk herself.
“That’s that’s her” The maid said pointing at Dina then scurried away.
“Yes how can I help you” She asked.
“Your daugh….” Dina stopped when she saw Leonard come out.
“Can we talk in private please” She asked.
“Woman I don’t even know you from Adam”
“It’s about Crystal”
“Crystal???, what about her?” Gold asked.
“Private please” Dina said and Gold pulled her inside the store room.
“What’s it about my daughter, is Crystal still alive” She asked with a trace of no emotions, like she didn’t care.
“We need you to come donate bl00d to her in the hospital, she’s dieing and needs your bl00d”
“Do I look like a bl00d donator, how much will you pay me”
“Am talking about your daughter Gold not just anybody am talking about Crystal here”
“So, how am I sure if she’s even my daughter. For all I care she’s dead to me so I don’t really care about her” Gold said looking at her nails.
“You old hag. Your daughter’s life and your granddaughter’s life is at stake, if we can’t donate bl00d to her now. They’ll be forced to remove her innocent child”
“Then let them remove it. That’s not her first time of a losing a child” Gold said and headed outside. Dina held her back.
“I’ll pay you 10 million dollars”
“Now you’re talking, show me the hospital” Gold said and walked out of the store room.
