CHAPTER 84

“Valentina!!! Fk…” Ryan threw his gvn and rushed to her.

He lifted up her head and placed it on his thigh, tapping her cheek. BIood was still oozing from her stomach.

“Help! Anyone help!!” Ryan screamed.

Valentina coughed out more bIood as her eyes opened slightly.

“Rick…Myles..Mi..Minnie..” She said weakly.

“I’m sorry Valentina! I didn’t mean to shoot you!!” Ryan said and realization suddenly hit him.

That woman, that wtch.. He played a big time fool out of him.

“Evelyn!!!!!” He screamed to the top of his voice.

“Dmn you!!!! Dmn you bch!!!!”

Immediately Ricardo got down his car near the building, two gunshots were heard.

His eyes widened in horror. He made to run in the building but suddenly, a huge explosion occurred at the third floor of the building. What followed next was fire!!

“No!! Valentina!!!” He screamed and made to run in the building but his bodyguards held him back.

“No boss.. The building is on fire. Chances that you don’t back alive is high” He said.

“Let me go!! I need to save my wife!!” Ricardo struggled and pvnched them.

He made to run in but another explosion occurred. The second one was to high that it pushed him back.

“Val… Valentina” Ricardo stared at the building as a drop of tear fell from his eyes.

“No!!!!!!”

*******

“Job well done Emilia, now Valentina is out of your way. You can have Ricardo all to yourself” Evelyn smiled.

They were inside a car as they watched how the building burnt completely. Emilia smiled slightly, feeling alittle bit guilty.

“Drive” Evelyn ordered the driver when she saw the police together with fire fighters as they arrived the area.

The car drove off…

Ricardo could be seen sitting on the floor, leaning against the wall as he watched the fire fighter extinguish the fire.

Once they were done, the police force invaded what was left of the building. They searched the building and almost an hour later, two c©rpse were taken out.

Ricardo slowly stood up as his heart palpitated against it’s ribcage. He walked slowly to them and stared at the c©rpse.

Tears gathered in his eyes that instant. There were two c©rpse, their faces were unrecognizable, their body were completely toasted but one could tell it was a male and a female (due to the physical appearance.)

Ricardo looked at Valentina’s body and that instant, he couldn’t hold back his tears.

He felt his heart break into thousand of pieces, the pain he felt that instant was nothing as compared to when Evelyn left him.

“Why must the women i love always end up leaving me?” Ricardo thought.

Many thoughts kept running in his mind. How will he tell it to Minnie and Myles? How will Valentina’s mom and sister react? How will he be able to live without her?

“Sir, we need to take the corpse to the hospital” One of the fire fighter said.

He looked at him before removing his hand from her cheek, taking a step back. Ricardo watched as her corpse was been taken in the ambulance.

They drove off with her. Ricardo knelt down on the floor as he cried pathetically. He felt useless, completely useless!

A cop came and rubbed his shoulder making him look at him.

“Sir, we’re deeply sorry for your loss” He said.

Ricardo just looked down in tears.

“Please, if you’ll agree to follow us. We have some questions to ask you” He said.

Ricardo nodded and stood up, then followed them. He didn’t even have the strength to talk nor argue.

“Fk!!” Iris cvrsed

Iris quickly spranged up her feets as they showed the picture of how her corpse was taken out of the building with Ricardo crying beside her.

“Sis!!!!” Iris screamed to the top of her voice.

“No, this can’t be.. My daughter isn’t de.ath! My,,,my daugh…” Peggy began breathing heavily, holding her chest tightly. Well she has heart problems.

Before Iris could react, Peggy blacked out.

“Mom!! No!! Someone help!!!” Iris rushed to her in tears.

“Help!!!”

POLICE STATION**

“Mr Thornton, as you can clearly seen on the security footage. We see Ryan Browns arriving the building then almost half an hour later, we see your wife running in the building. I think this seems fishy” The chief said.

“Sir, does your wife have anything to do with Mr Ryan?” He asked.

“He’s her ex” Ricardo replied tiredly.

He stopped crying but his face held an emotionless look on it.

“I see…then I think he has a hand to do with it. Unfortunately, he died too in the flames” The chief said.

“I know who killed my wife” Ricardo said.

“Evelyn Harper” He said and clenched his fists tightly.

“Your ex wife? Do you have proofs?”

Ricardo just stood up and left the area. Once he got out, a crowd of reporters flocked the area.

They began firing questions at him. He ignored them and his guards made way for him. He got in his car and drove off, heading to the hospital.

Once he got there, he walked in and headed to the side were the corpse were kept. He saw his whole family there, looks like the news already spread like wild fire.

“Daddy!” Minnie cried and rushed to Ricardo then held his chest.

“Tell me that mummy isn’t death! They’re just joking right??…” Minnie cried.

Ricardo just looked away, fighting back his tears.

“No…” Minnie covered her mouth as she cried loudly. Iris walked to her to comfort her.

Logan could be seen carrying Myles on his thigh as Myles cried like a baby..

Kristina walked to Ricardo with red eyes. Its obvious that she cried a lot. She hugged Ricardo and rubbed his back.

“Cry it all out brother” Kristina sniffed.

Ricardo closed his eyes and let his tears out. He hugged her and buried his face in her shoulder as he cried like a baby..

Iris’s friends came over to comfort her and the family..

Minnie and Myles cried till they fell asleep. Ricardo then asked Logan and Krsitina to take them to their house, so that they can sleep.

Iris left to go and and collect few things back home. Ricardo was now alone.

He sat down on the chair in the quiet and lonely alley, deep in thoughts. All these just happened so fast!

He heard footsteps approaching him but he didn’t even bother to look till the person stood beside.

“My deepest condolences Sir” A male voice was heard.

Ricardo looked sideways to see it was Daniel, his personal doctor.

“Thanks”

Daniel came and sat down next to him with a sigh.

“It’s so sad that you two didn’t have the chance to welcome the baby amongst you” Daniel said.

“Baby?” Ricardo furrowed his brows.

“She..she didn’t tell you?” Daniel looked at him..

“Your wife came here earlier this morning for checkups. And she was tested positive… She was…pregnant” Daniel said.

Ricardo felt his heart break more. Not only did he loose his darling wife, but he also loss his child. Can’t this life be more cruel to him?

“I wanna be alone” Ricardo said.

Daniel nodded and stood up then left the area. He leaned on the wall with his eyes closed.

MORNING, RICARDO’S MANSION**

Ricardo looked out of the window with eyes void of any emotion. He watched as the rain fell heavily over the area.

Looks like even the heavens is grieving for those great loss.

“Dad..” He heard a voice behind him.

He turned back to see Myles, dressed all in black just like him. Well today is Valentina’s burial.

Myles walked to him with a sad look on his face. He hugged Ricardo. Ricardo simply patted his hair.

“How is Minnie doing?” Ricardo asked.

“She’s already dressed up. Though she won’t stop crying” Myles said.

Ricardo knelt down in front of Myles and patted his hair with a slight smile on his lips.

“You need to be strong for your sister. Make sure you comfort her in all ways you can” Ricardo said.

Myles slowly nodded.

“That’s my boy.” Ricardo ruffled his hair before.

He looked out to see that the rain has died down.

“Let’s go get your sister. We need to go now” Ricardo held his hand and they went to Minnie’s room.

UNIVERSITY OF FRANCE**

“Hey babe” Maxwell smiled immediately Kimberly’s face popped up on the screen

“Hi” Kimberly said and forced a smile..

“What’s wrong babe? Why the sad mood?” Maxwell asked worriedly.

“Well I’m currently on my way to the graveyard. It’s Iris’s sister, she died yesterday” Kimberly said.

“What!!” Maxwell exclaimed.

“Yeah.. If you can see Iris’s state now. And worst of all Maxwell is unreachable” Kimberly said.

“Yeah, I tried his line severally but it isn’t working” Maxwell said.

“Maybe his phone got an issue who knows” Kimberly said and sighed.

“Send my greetings to Iris. Think I’ll call her later” Maxwell said.

“Alright. Bye babe, love you!!” Kimberly said and hung up.

The car stopped by the graveyard. She got down and brought out the flower she came with before entering the area.

She spotted the crowd so she just went to them. She could see the coffin placed at the middle while the other were silent as the priest preached.

Peggy was there, though she was sitting on the wheelchair. Iris kept rubbing her back, consoling her.

Ricardo was seen carrying Minnie while his other hand held Myles’s hand. Others like Kristina, Logan Ricardo’s parents, Charlotte, Riley were all present.

Once the preaching was over, the white coffin was lowered into the dug hole.

“Bye mommy, I love you” Minnie kssed a white flower and threw it in.

Myles followed. Ricardo sighed and also threw his own flower in. They stepped away as the other took turns to say their farewell to Valentina.

Evelyn who was watching everything from afar smiled. She wore back her shades and left the area.

Once the rest of them finished saying their farewell, the hole was covered and her grave was arranged.

“Let’s go..” Ricardo said to Myles who nodded and followed behind, fighting back his tears.

“I never even had the chance to tell you all the truth” Peggy thought and let out her tears.

Iris just rubbed her shoulders…
