WHEN LOVE IS GONE: Chapter 31 – 40
Adele’s pov ?
Las Vegas…
“Momma, my momma, my momma” Davis cried.
Since we (Clark and I) brought him home from school, he’s been crying for his momma…
And he refused to keep quiet, no matter what we do to make him stop crying.
A tired and frustrated groan left my mouth, I shut my eyes and puffed out some air.
“Come on, Davis… stop crying ok?” I said.
He shook his head in disagreement and continued crying.. louder than before.
“I want my momma, my momma, I want my momma!”
My eyes scanned the table, we’ve made different kinds of dishes.. I even made an home-made pizza for him.. that’s his favorite.
But he had refused to eat anything, crying is all he’s been doing.. since he found out his momma isn’t around.
“Where is my momma? I want my momma”
I carried him and walked towards the living room, I sat him on a sofa and turned on the TV.
Luckily, his favorite cartoon is showing…
“Davis, look, it’s PJ masks!” I said with so much enthusiasm.
He simply glanced at the TV and looked away, his eyes fixed on the door..as if he’s expecting his momma to just show up.
If only he knew his momma went to save his daddy… and won’t be coming back today.
“It’s alright, Davis. Stop crying and I’ll take you to the park, wanna have fun with other kids?”
“No! I want my momma!”
His whole face has turned red from all the crying, his little handsome face is now a tears mess.
“I want my momma!” He cried louder.
His voice is so loud, that I’m scared the neighbors might call the cops and complain about it.
Oh my God! How am I gonna make him stop crying now?
“Davis, please stop crying or I’ll burst into tears too” I said.
Honestly, I’m at the verge of bursting Into tears now. Davis is really frustrating me right now.. seriously, Jas is really trying.
I don’t think I’m gonna have a baby anytime soon!
Just then, the door burst open and Clark jumped in…He’s dressed up in a monkey king costume.
My brows knit together in a small frown. Where did he get this costume from? Maybe he ordered it.
“Davis, look… it’s the monkey king!” I said.
This seems to do the trick, he stopped crying instantly and stared at Clark weirdly.
He must be wondering how Clark turned into a monkey, he pointed at Clark.
“Aunt Adele, big monkey” he said.
I nodded quickly.
“Yes, yes, that’s a very big monkey” I replied.
He stared at it again and began giggling, this face brightened up.
I stared at him in amusement, kids are just a different kind of human beings.
Wasn’t he just crying a few seconds ago? Now he’s laughing as if he wasn’t just trying to bring down the whole building.
Clark saw this as an approval, he started jumping around and making funny monkey faces.. which simply increased Davis’s giggling.
I gave Clark a thumbs up for doing a great job.
I guess I should use this opportunity to feed him, now that he’s temporarily forgotten about his momma.
“Davis, are you hungry?”
“Hmm” he hummed and nodded yes.
“What do you wanna eat, pizza?” I asked.
He shook his head, though his eyes are fixed on Clark.
“Sushi!” He said.
My mouth fell opened, I gaped at him.
This boy will be the death of me before his momma gets back.. we don’t have any sushi.
“We don’t have sushi.. choose something else”
He looked away from Clark, my heart skipped at once and I thought he’s gonna start crying again.
But he only tilted his head and looked towards the dinning table, as if he could see it from the living room.
“Pizza” he said.
A relieved sigh slowly left my mouth, thankfully he later settled for pizza.
“Ok.. I’ll go get you some” I told him.
He nodded and turned back to Clark. Clark is now doing some funny dancing and Davis started clapping.. as he giggled in great excitement.
Hm.. Clark is really entertaining him.
I got up and headed to the dinning table, I reached for a plate and put a slice of pizza.. then rushed back to the living.
“Come-on, Davis.. here’s your pizza”
I cut a small piece and brought it closer to his mouth, he opened his mouth widely and accept it.
“Sweet?” I asked him when he started chewing it.
He nodded quickly with a perfect smile.
“Yes” he replied.
My eyes moved to Clark and I mouthed a “thank you” at him, he simply shrugged it off as nothing.
“Davis, what do you want monkey king to do for you again?” Clark asked him.
Although, Davis didn’t recognize his voice, he was talking to Davis in a bolder voice.
“Sing for me” Davis shouted excitedly.
“Alright, I’ll sing.. what do you want me to sing for you?”
“Mr Rodgers has a little dog!”
I rolled my eyeballs, of course he’d pick a nursery rhyme.
“Hmm.. very good! Get ready to hear my melodious voice”
I scoffed.. what a show! Clark cleared his throat and started singing.
Well, I was hoping I’d laughing at his h©rrible voice. But he proved me wrong, he surprised me.. his voice is truly beautiful.
He actually sang beautifully and hearing his voice… makes me wanna imagine what heaven would look like.
?? Mr Rodgers has a little dog ??
?? Bingo was his name…… ??
?? Mr Rodgers has a little dog ??
?? Bingo was his name…… ??
?? B… I… N… G… O…… ??
I toned him off when I heard my laptop beeping, i took a glance at Davis… He’s so focused on Clark’s singing.
“Here, Davis..”
I handed the fork to him, he teared his gaze away from Clark and watch me.
“.. feed yourself, I have a call” I said and pointed at my laptop at the dinning table.
He nodded and turned back to Clark. I sighed and got up, then rushed to my laptop.
Getting there, I realized it’s Jasmine calling via a video call… I quickly answered it and her face popped up.
“Hey, Jas!”
“Adele, is Davis back from school?” She asked in a tired tone.
I frowned slightly after studying her face, she looked tired and her eyes seemed as if they’ve cried a lot.
“He’s back and having dinner now”
She nodded. “He must have stressed you a lot.. I’m really sorry about that”
“Don’t worry about that, Davis is my son too”
She smiled weakly.
“How’s Thanatos doing? Was the accident really as fatal as those reporters said?” I asked.
“Yeah.. it’s pretty fatal” she replied.
She moved the camera towards Thanatos, a gasp left my mouth when I saw him.. he’s almost unrecognizable.
“Jesus! Jas, that was kinda fatal” I exclaimed quietly.
“Yeah”
I heaved a sigh.
“Don’t think too much, he’s gonna be fine.. alright?”
“I know, I’m just.. I don’t know”
I knew Jas is still in love with Thanatos, but I didn’t know she’s this ¢razy for him.
Fear… It’s clearly in her eyes, she’s scared of losing him and I guess seeing him laying on the bed just added to her fears.
“Jas, be strong, your Thanatos will be fine” I encountered her.
She nodded and blinked away the tears threatening to fall.
Jasmine’s one of the strongest woman I’ve seen, I mean, with all that she’s passing through… She’s never complained about being tired.
She’s always ready to carry her cross by herself.. if I was in her shoe, I don’t think I can pull through.
“Momma, my momma, I want momma!” Davis’s voice pulled me back.
I raised my head and saw him running towards me, I guessed Clark told him I’m talking to his momma.
He quickly climbed onto a chair and balanced himself, then faced the screen, a very bright smile spread on his face.
“Momma, momma, momma!” He waved at her happily.
Jasmine’s eyes lit up upon seeing her son, that tiredness.. fear and worry in her eyes suddenly vanished.
I swear, this boy is definitely Jasmine’s hope.. seeing him always gives her great joy.
This very strong mother-son bond between them, I wish to have it with my son too.
“Momma, how are you?” He asked.
“I’m very fine, baby.. how are you?” Jas asked him back.
“I’m fine too” he replied.
He shoved the remaining pizza he was holding in his mouth, but quickly brought it out as if he just remembered something.
“Momma, eat” he said and stretched it towards the screen.
This act from him made Jasmine and I laughed.. this boy is just full of characters.
Sometimes, he’d act like a twelve years old and other times.. like now, he’d act like the five years old he is.
“Awwwn, baby, that’s so sweet of you.. taking care of your momma at young age.. good boy!” Jasmine said.
Davis smile, making his cute dimples show.
“Eat, momma is not hungry, baby”
He nodded and shoved it in his mouth, then chew slowly.
“So.. did you tell aunt Adele thank you for the pizza?”
He shook his head, since his mouth is kinda full and he can’t talk.
“What did I tell you to do before collecting stuffs from your aunt?”
He simply stared at Jasmine with those innocent eyes of his, he tried as best as he could to swallow quickly.
“Correct yourself quickly” she ordered him.
He nodded and turned to me, he quickly put a smile on his face.
“Thank you, aunt Adele” he said.
“You’re welcome, my champion” I replied and pinched his nose fondly.
He turned back to face the screen.
“Momma, will you come back today?” He asked.
Jasmine took a deep breath, she smiled and check her wrist watch.
“It’s your bedtime, go to sleep now and I’ll be there tomorrow when you wake up”
“Really?!” He asked with a wide smile.
“Really”
“Ok.. I’m going to sleep now” he said.
Jasmine nodded. He leaned forward and pecked the screen, which made me rolled my eyeballs.. gsh, he’s too affectionate.
“Goodnight momma”
“Goodnight baby”
Jasmine blew him a kiss, he hopped off the chair and ran straight to his room.
“Don’t tell me he’s going to sleep right now”
“Of course he is, if he doesn’t sleep how is he gonna his momma tomorrow morning?” She replied.
I clapped my hands and gave her a thumbs up.
“You really gave him a proper upbringing.. he’s such an obedient boy”
She laughed at my words.
“Please go check on him, I usually make him pee before letting him sleep”
“Ok.. I’ll go now, good night”
“Yeah, good night”
I hanged up and shut down my laptop. I headed towards Davis’s room, along the way, I saw Clark sleeping on a sofa.
A brief laugh escaped my mouth, Davis really stressed him.. he went out of all ways to please Davis.
I’ll come cover him with a blanket, I should go check on Davis first.
Reaching Davis room, I pushed the door open and saw him coming out from his bathroom.
He’s already changed his clothes, he’s wearing his PJs now.. he climbed onto his bed and pulled the cover over himself.
I stayed rooted on my spot, I’m too awed to move.
Jasmine is really a mother with potentials, she really did tried her best in training this boy.
Even though she’s not around, he know he’ll change into his PJs and pee before going to bed.. my respect for her just increased.
I gently shut the door and head back to cover Clark.

Jasmine’s pov ?
After hanging up the call, I turned back to Thanatos and held his hand in mine.
I brought it closer to my mouth, I pecked his knuckles and sucked in some air.
“Thanatos, doctor Grace said you’re stable now, she said you’re fine…”
My eyes traced the bruise on his face and cuts on his lips.
“… when are you gonna wake up? I’m really missing you? Don’t you miss me?”
My dried eyes suddenly welled up and tears started rolling down my cheeks.
“Wake up for me, for Davis and I,.. we are both missing you so much…”
Funny how I admit I’m missing him now, when he’s conscious, I’d deny it.
“… our son is all alone in Las Vegas, wake up so we can go back to him and live together like before… I promise, I’ll never get mad at you unnecessarily again”
I don’t even know if he’s hearing me right now, I just want him to wake up already.
“I know I can’t have another baby, but I’m willing to keep trying.. are just gonna give up now?”
I bite my lower lip as another set of hot tears ran down my cheeks.
Never in my life have I been this scared over someone, I’m scared right now…we just got back together and he’s already dying on me?
My son would become fatherless at such a tender age?
“You said we should give Davis a playmate, I’m ready, let’s do it together.. let’s keep trying together.. maybe a miracle would happen”
I gather a flesh of his arm in my fingers and pinched him very hard.
“Wake up let’s make Davis’s playmate together, I can’t make her alone, do you hear me? I need you to make her…”
I choked on my tears, I couldn’t say anymore words.. I just sobbed.

WHEN LOVE IS GONE: Chapter 31 – 40
Thanatos pov ?
All my hope is gone, my hope of leaving here is gone.. I have given up.
I folded myself in a corner, well, I don’t even know if there’s any corner here… everywhere seem to be a corner.
Then I heard a female’s voice, she’s talking and sobbing at the same time.. although, I haven’t heard her clearly.. but I could tell she sounded so bitter.
I quickly got up and tried my best to listen to her words, surprisingly.. I didn’t have to stress myself.. I could hear her clearly.
“… when are you gonna wake up? I’m really missing you? Don’t you miss me?” She said.
This voice, it sounded so familiar, like I have heard it somewhere before.. but where?
And why is she missing me? Who is she?
“Wake up for me, for Davis and I,.. we are both missing you so much…”
Davis… isn’t that one of those names I’m always seeing? Could this be Jasmine speaking?
Who are they to me? Are they related to me? In what way?
“… our son is all alone in Las Vegas, wake up so we can go back to him and live together like before… I promise, I’ll never get mad at you unnecessarily again”
Our son? So she’s my wife? And Davis is our son? Jasmine is my wife?
“I know I can’t have another baby, but I’m willing to keep trying.. are just gonna give up now?”
She’s my wife.. I have a wife.. and a son. Well, that’s good news.
“You said we should give Davis a playmate, I’m ready, let’s do it together.. let’s keep trying together.. maybe a miracle would happen”
Is she talking about having sx with me? Wow! That’s an enticing deal.. I don’t think I can reject this offer.
I suddenly felt a stung on my arm and I hissed in pain… he.ll, why did she fking pinch me?!
“Hey! It hurts woman!” I growled.
But she didn’t heard me, she simply continued saying her words.
“Wake up let’s make Davis’s playmate together, I can’t make her alone, do you hear me? I need you to make her…”
I heard you, I must find a way out and we’ll make lots of playmates together for our son… Davis!
Wait… I’ve broken the barrier! How? When?
Isn’t it the same barrier I’ve been trying to break since? How was I able to break it with ease today?
My eyes moved to the end of the tunnel, Illuminating light into the dark tunnel…I quickly stepped into the tunnel.
This is my chance to leave here.
Immediately I stepped into the tunnel, everything came crashing in my head.. causing me an unbearable pain.
The reason I was trapped here.
I found out I was married to my lover’s sister…I was going to Chicago to sort it out.. then I had an accident…
My lover… Jasmine!
Our son… Davis!
Fk! Jasmine, wait for me, I’m coming home!
