Authoress’ pov ?
LA city hospital…
Two female nurses rushed towards the paramedics, when they saw them pushing Claudia in.. on a stretcher.
“We can take it from here, thank you!” One of the nurses said.
They took over and pushed Claudia towards the ICU, Rose ran behind them.. crying and begging them to save her daughter.
While running after them, she bumped into Rhoda but muttered a sorry without looking at her.
Rhoda simply watched as she runs off, she frown slightly.
“Isn’t that Mrs Ben?” She asked herself.
She wanted to go after her, but something else caught her attention..
Her eyes bulges out at the sight of her brother, soaked in blood.. Marcus is supporting him.
“Nicklaus!” She gasped out.
Rhoda rushed towards him, she stared at him from head to toe.. trying to find the source of the blood.
“Jesus! Nicklaus what happened?! Why are you bleeding so much?!” She asked.
“It’s a long story, let’s get him treated first” Marcus said.
Rhoda nodded and showed them to a ward, without wasting time she called for assistant to bring in her medical kit.
“Miss Statham, here!” Her assistant said and handed her the medical kit.
“Er.. Rhoda? What are you doing?” Nicklaus asked.
“I want to clean up your wound” she replied simply.
Rhoda tried to removed Nicklaus’s hand covering the wound, but he wouldn’t allow her.. she glared at him and he quickly removed his hand.
“Oh my God!”
She exclaimed while she examines the wound, she cringe.
“This wound is really deep!” She said still examining it.
Nicklaus is getting irritated by her words, he growled lowly.
“Are you gonna start the treatment now?! Or you want me to bleed to death first, then you’ll attend my burial?!”
She slapped Nicklaus’s mouth lightly and glared at him.
“Don’t speak about death so lightly!” She scolded him but started cleaning his wound.
*******
Rose sat on a bench, though she’s quiet but she’s nervous rack.
She kept glancing at the doors every five minutes!
“God please save my daughter.. she’s done wrong, but forgive her.. please let her survive this!” Rose prayed.
She held her head in her hands, tears runs down her cheeks as she shake her head.
Just then the doors opened and a nurse came out, she rushed to the nurse.
“How is my daughter doing? Is she okay?” She asked.
“Ma’am, I really love how calm you are…”
Rose shut her eyes briefly, she might seem calm but she’s not calm at all.
“… continue to stay calm, we’re trying to get the bullet out…”
“Why is it taking so long to it out?” Rose cut her off.
The nurse sighed.
“The doctors are handling her carefully, the bullet is inside her heart…”
“Her what?!”
Rose stilled as blood drained off her face, she feel her heart crack as her chest heaved.
“Ma’am, you don’t need to panic, we have very qualified doctors here and they’ll try their best to save your daughter”
“B-but.. heart…”
“Just pray, believe she’ll be fine” the nurse said and left.
Rose turned towards the doors and take slow steps towards them.. her eyes glisten in tears.
“My daughter.. she…” She choked on her tears.
This is what she was trying to avoid, she knew something like this would happen but she didn’t know it’s gonna be as severe as this.
She didn’t know it’ll demand her daughter’s life…she leaned against the wall and cried.
“God, please, help her… I know ws disobedient, please just give her a second chance.. just one chance and I’ll teach her properly”
Rose continue sobbing.

Anastasia’s pov ?
Nicklaus’s penthouse… Outside LA city…
“Thank you, Graham!” I thanked Graham when I stepped out of the car.
“It’s my duty, I’d better go meet Mr Statham at the hospital” he said.
I nod and he entered the car and drove off, Matilda wrap an arm around my shoulder and lead towards the front door.
“I can’t believe what happened today.. so, Benjamin could be heartless to the point of killing his own daughter!” Matilda said.
I simply sighed absentmindedly, not that I’m not hearing her but because my thoughts right now are on Dr ghost.
“I wonder who he is?”
“Who?” Matilda asked me.
“What?” I asked her back.
“You said you wonder who he is… Who are you referring to?”
We arrived at the front door, she grabbed the handle and pushed it open.. then we stepped in.
“Welcome, Anna” Jerry greeted me the moment I stepped in.
Is this guy on standby?! Why is he always at my beck and call?
“Thank you!” I replied him.
Matilda and I walked towards the living room, I heard his footsteps behind.
I sat on a sofa…or should I say I laid on it… I sighed deeply. I turned to Jerry.
“Please, water!” I told him.
He smiled. “Coming right up!” He left towards the kitchen.
I sighed again, it’s high time I recalled my past… I need to know who Dr ghost is.
Why is he also a Lopez? And why do I feel a sense of familiarity with him?
“That was a very dangerous game” Matilda said, pulling me back to reality.
Then Klaus’s injury came back to my mind, I wince.
“I wonder how Klaus is doing.. I hope he didn’t loose too much blood” I said.
“He’ll be fine!”
At that moment, I saw Jerry pass me a bottle of water, I took it from him and thanked him.. I pop up the cover a gulps it down.
I dropped the almost empty bottle on the table, I wiped my mouth with the back of my palm.
“Tilda, I should go wash up.. I wanna go visit aunt” I said getting up.
“Shouldn’t we be visiting Mr Statham at the hospital to see how he’s faring?” She asked.
I shaked my head.
“No! Klaus is mad at me for some unknown reasons, I bet I’m the last person he’d wanna see right now”
If I go the hospital he’ll just scold me and order me to come back home… I really blame myself for being concerned about him.
“I should just go to aunt’s, at least she have the answer to a question that’s being bugging me” I said and head to my room.
I stepped into my room and quickly stripped off my clothes, then I dashed into the bathroom.. I’m feeling an inner heat!
********
“Anna!” Aunt exclaimed happily when she saw me.
She opened the door wider and gave way for Matilda and I to come in… We both entered.
“Aunt, good afternoon!” Tilda and I greeted her.
“Good afternoon…what brought you kids to my place?” She asked.
I wanted to reply her, but tiny arms suddenly encircle my waist.
“Anna!” Denzel called.
I looked down at him with a smile, I ruffled his hair.
“Denzel, how are doing?”
“I’m good… Aunt said I’ll resume school on Monday!” He said happily.
You can hear the joy and pride in his voice, he looks livelier than ever.
“Wow! That’s good.. that’s very good!”
“Are you gonna come see me off to school on Monday?” He asked.
“I’ll try”
“Ahem!” Matilda’s cleared her throat.
She’s sitting on a sofa with her legs crossed, she glared at me jealousy.
“I guess I’m invisible now.. well, this is the end of our relationship! It’s over!” She said to Denzel.
Denzel smiled and let go of me, he rushed to Matilda and started massaging her legs.
“I’m sorry, Mat!” He apologised to her.
Matilda scoffed and looked away, he continued apologizing.. I chuckled at Matilda’s childish behavior.
She always behave childishly everytime she’s around Denzel.
“Aren’t you supposed to stay in hiding?” Aunt asked me.
“No, Klaus already sort everything out” I replied.
Aunt nod, then she head towards the kitchen.. I think she was cooking when we came, I followed her.
“Aunt, I wanted to ask you a question”
“Yeah?”
I cleared my throat softly and took a deep breath, I hope she’s gonna tell me the truth.
“What’s the question?” She asked.
“Who is Gregory Lopez?”
Aunt stopped walking abruptly, she turned to face me with a frown.
“I hope you’d be honest with me aunt, I really wanna know, please”
She stared at me for brief moment, then sighed and turned.. then continue her journey to the kitchen.
“I think you’re a grown up now.. I’ll tell you the truth, after all, it won’t be long before you find out yourself”
She paused, she grab her cabbage and knife.
“Gregory Lopez is your father!” She said.
“My father?!”
“Yes!” She replied.
Dr ghost is my father?!

Authoress’ pov ?
“Sir, Benjamin has been arrested by the police!” A teenage boy (about 18 or 19 years of age) report.
A man sat on a chair in a big office, he’s playing with a bird inside its cage.. it seems like he’s not listening but in fact he is.
“Sir, Benjamin was arrested today at his daughter’s wedding” the boy repeat his words.
The man laughed.
“That’s good for him, he acted on impose” the man said.
“So what should we do now, sir?”
“There’s no rush, Benjamin was caught in his own trap because he was striving for quick success…”
He got up and carried the cage, he handed it to one of his men and walked towards the big glass window.
With his hands behind him, he looked out the window.
“…we have all the time in the world, also, Nicklaus is not alone…”
He clenched his jaw and glared at the outer space ahead of him.
“… Gregory Lopez is his greatest support and we can’t underestimate Gregory…that man is too smart”
“So… what are we going to do now?” The boy asked.
The man turned to him and smirked, he tapped the boy’s shoulder.
“We wait!” Was his reply.
