WHEN LOVE IS GONE: Chapter 31 – 40
Writer’s pov ?
Gibson’s bar & steakhouse… (Chicago)
Henry sat in a chair, at the farther end of the restaurant.. with a cigarette in his hand.
Even though, he’s sitting next to the window, but he’s still hidden from everyone’s eyes…
But he can clearly see anyone, that comes in or goes out of the restaurant from where he’s sitting.
He balanced his cigarette stick between his lips… and sucked in a good amount of smoke.
Seconds later, he puffed some smoke out, watching the smoke comes our from both his nostrils and mouth…he smiled in satisfaction.
He reached for his bottle of beer on the table, then took a few gulps.
“Mr O’Briens” someone called him.
He lifted his head slowly, he smirked when he saw who it was.
“You kept me waiting” Henry state.
“I know, I’m sorry”
Henry simply nodded, he gestured towards the chair in front of him.. his guest quickly sat down.
“What?” Henry asked. “Did you tell him about the new development?”
“Yes” he answered.
“What did he say? Any instructions from him?” Henry asked.
His guest nodded, he reached for an envelope in his pocket and dropped it on the table.
Henry reached for it, he took a peek inside and frowned.
“What is the meaning of this?” He asked.
“Your grandfather said you’d understand once you saw it”
Henry quickly ripped the envelope open, he stared at the pictures once after the other…his jaw clenched in anger as he stared at them.
“Someone sent this pictures and files to your grandfather two days ago…”
“Who sent it?” Henry growled lowly.
His guest shook his head, his eyes stayed fixed at something behind Henry…his eyes narrowed.
“Someone is watching us” he said.
Henry turned slightly, he tried to take a peek but couldn’t..he decided to ignore it.
“My boys will take care of him, continue”
His guest nodded.
“Your grandfather said you should wait, he said taking any step now will expose your plans to the enemy”
Henry frowned, he squeezed the picture in his hands and gritted his teeth.
“I should wait? Why don’t we strike now that Thanatos is down?”
“I don’t know, Mr O’Briens…I have delivered the message”
Henry clenched his jaw and balled his fist, he grind his teeth.
“Tell grandfather, I’ll visit him tomorrow”
“Yes, sir”
He snatched his bottle of beer off the table, and took gulps.. he slammed it on the table when he’s had enough.
“What about the boy?” He asked.
“He’s heavily guarded, we went to his school but couldn’t get near him… His father’s men are hanging around the school”
Henry banged on the table and cur$ed. “DMN!”
He narrowed his eyes and glared at an empty space.
“Try by all means to kidnap him and bring him to me!”
“Sir, your grandfather said we should hold on”
He flicked his glare to his guest.
“Is my grandfather the one your salary?”
“No, sir”
“Then do as I said, or I’ll present your head on a plate to family!”
His guest quickly bowed. “Yes, sir!”

*******
O’Briens resident…
“Jade, what that lady said at the hospital, is it true?” Mr O’Briens asked Jade.
After they left Thanatos wards, they’ve came home straight.. except Henry, who left under the skies of meetings friends.
“Your dad is asking you” Mrs O’Briens said.
Jade frowned, she twisted her lips and glared at her fingers.
“No”
“No?” Mr O’Briens asked.
“I don’t know her, she’s lying!”
Mr O’Briens stayed silent and studied her for a few moments, then sighed.
“Fine, we’ll just wait until Thanatos wakes up.. then we’ll know what to do with her”
“Yes, dad” Jade replied.
“Alright, you’ve had a long day, go on and rest in your room”
Jade nodded and headed towards her room, with one thing on her mind.
*I must find ways to get Jasmine out of the picture!* She vowed to herself.
Mr O’Briens cleared his throat, he got up and walked towards his own room.
“Where are you going?” His wife asked.
“To sleep” was his only reply.
He took long strode towards his room, he opened the door and stepped in.
Immediately, he dipped his hand in his pocket and pulled out his phone.. he dialed a number.
“Hello, Mr O’Briens?” A voice emerged from the other side.
“About the investigation, how is it going?”
“I’ve got the information, sir”
Mr O’Briens nodded, he heard footsteps approaching his room.. he coughed slightly and whispered.
“Report to my office first thing tomorrow morning!”
“Yes, sir”
He hanged up and shoved the phone back in his pocket, at that instant.. the door snapped open and Mrs O’Briens walked in.
“Bernard, were you just on the phone?” She asked.
“No!” He replied curtly, giving no room for further talks.
He took off his jacket and headed straight for the bathroom..
Mrs O’Briens simply stared at him suspiciously, but she didn’t ask any questions.

Adele’s pov ?
Las Vegas… (08:47pm)
Clark’s eyes snapped opened, while I was pulling a blanket over him.
His arms went around my waist and flipped us, making me lay on the sofa and him towering over me.
“W-what are you doing?” I stuttered.
He stared at my eyes brief and smiled, he reached for my cheek and pinched it softly.
“Were you just caring about me?” He asked.
“Are you scared I might catch a cold and fall sick?” He asked.
“No” I answered quickly and tried to push him away.
“You don’t wanna admit you have feelings for me too”
I don’t know why, but I felt myself blushing even harder when he said those words.
No! Arthur is the only one I love! My heart isn’t beating because I love him (Clark)… it must be because we’re this close.
“I know you love me as much as I love you, just give me a chance ok?”
“No! I don’t love you”
His eyes furrowed slightly, he studied my expression and laughed lightly.
“Then why are you blushing?” He asked.
“Blushing doesn’t mean I love you.. can’t you see the position we’re in? Who wouldn’t blush in this position?”
He scoffed.
“Baby, you wouldn’t blush if you don’t have any feelings for me.. no matter the position”
Huh? Is that true?
My eyes landed on his lips, they’re so plump and beautiful.. tempting me to bite them.
I folded my lower lip in my mouth and bite it. He reached for it and pulled it out, he smirked.
“Darling, leave the bitting to me, I can bite them for you” he said.
My eyes followed his lips as he speaks.
“You said you don’t love me, but you are dying to kss me”
I quickly pulled my eyes away from his lips.
“I’m not dying to kss you”
“Oh? Why were you staring at my lips then?”
“That’s because.. that’s because… ”
I couldn’t find the right words to say, I shut my eyes and inhale deeply.
“Stop trying to deny it, it’s a mutual feeling.. give us a chance”
“No, we’re not compatible… besides, I don’t love you at all”
“Really? Are you trying to say you’ll push me away if I should kss you?” He asked.
Then suddenly he placd his lips on mine…
Just when I was about to settle fully into it, I heard Davis’s voice.
“Momma! Momma!”
Without much thinking, I pushed Clark off me and jumped off the sofa…
From where did I get this strength to push him off just now? I wondered.
“Adele, you love me”
“No, I don’t”
Feeling too shy to face him, I quickly rushed to Davis and carried him in my arms.
“What’s wrong, champion.. couldn’t fall asleep?” I asked.
I glanced at Clark and found him smirking, I quickly looked away from him and rushed into Davis’s room.

Jasmine’s pov ?
Home of Hope hospital.. Chicago (07:30am)
The next morning…
I felt someone caressing my hair softly, it’s making my sleep more sweet and I don’t feel like getting up any time soon.
A sleepy moan left my mouth as I turned my head, and adjusted in my sleep.
Whoever this person is, please don’t stop!
A deep voice chuckled lightly, but I didn’t open my eyes.. I just want to continue sleeping.
“Well, I guess no one missed me!” Thanatos said.
I ignored him and carried on with my sweet sleep, releasing soft snores.
But I rewinded what just happened and I gasped loudly… Thanatos?! How?!
My eyes snapped opened and I raised my head, I’m greeted with clear hazel eyes and a smiling face.
I blinked rapidly and rubbed off the sleep in my eyes, to make sure I’m seeing things clearly.
“T-thana.. Thanatos?!”
He nodded.
“You’re awake?!” I asked.
He nodded again, he’s leaning against the small headboard of the bed.
Wait.. don’t tell me I’m dreaming right now! This should be reality!
I reached out and poke his cheeks.. he laughed and caught my hand.
“What? You’re not happy to see me?” He asked.
“You’re really alive?” I asked him.
“Hm.. I’m talking to you and you can hear me, I guess that means I’m alive”
I couldn’t hold myself back anymore, I sprint up and wrapped my arms around him.. pulling him into a bone crushing hug.
“You’re alive! You’re alive! You’re really alive!” I chanted excitedly.
He wrapped an arm around me, the arm that wasn’t in a bandage.. he snuggled his nose in my neck.
I felt my eyes suddenly watering up..
“I was so scared, I thought you weren’t gonna wake up.. you were just laying unconsciously in one place and I thought.. I thought… ” I started sobbing.
He chuckled.
“Baby, don’t say it”
“… I thought I had lost you! I was so scared, Thanatos!”
He chuckled again. “I can’t die easily, not when my wife and son are waiting for me out here”
I pulled away from him and stared directly in his eyes.
Why do I suddenly think he’s become more handsome…even though he’s bruised all over.
“Baby, are you ok?” He asked me.
Those tears I was fighting hard to hold back, all came running down.. I couldn’t hold back, I held his head and crashed my lips on his.
He broke it and I frowned at him.
“I think my breath is very bad now, you know, I haven’t brushed for…”
I placed a finger on his lips.
“I don’t care!” I said and crashed my lips on his again.
This time, he wrapped his arm around me and reciprocated .. but he let me be in charge.
Maybe I was too engrossed in it, that I mistakenly bite his lower lip.. where there’s a big cut.
He groaned and broke it quickly.
“Baby, you…”
“Oh my God! Bl ood!” I cut him off.
He touched his lip and saw the bl ood, I quickly reached for an handkerchief in my bag and wiped his lip.
“I’m sorry, Thanatos, I was too excited and…”
“It’s fine” he said with a smile.
After wiping off the blood, I examined the cut and realized kssing him fiercely just now had reopen it.
“Are we gonna continue from where we stopped?” He asked.
I frowned and smacked his shoulder.
“Can’t you see you’re injured?”
“Oh.. that’s just a small cut, besides I heard what you promised me.. I think we should start now”
“What I promised you?”
I’m clearly confused, I don’t remember making any promises to him.
“Yeah.. you said we would make more playmates for Davis”
My cheeks flamed up at that, I didn’t know he was actually hearing me.. go$h! This is so embarrassing!
“Come on, let’s get into action.. I heard making lo ve on a hospital bed is really sweet”
My snapped towards the door, to check if someone is coming.. they might hear him.
“Will you quite being vulgar?”
“No… Come on, you’ve made me dmn ho rny.. let’s fk, just five minutes”
I frowned.
“Are you seriously thinking about sx even on your sick bed?” I asked.
“I don’t see anything wrong with that” he replied.
I scanned him, one of his leg is hanging on a rope and his left arm is also hanging on a rope around his neck.
“Baby, you’re bedridden.. no, you’re practically a cripple.. how are you gonna fk me in this condition?” I asked.
He looked down at himself, he turned and is currently laying on his side…he smirked.
“Easy, we can just do a missionary style.. or you can ride me.. make a choice and let’s start” he said.
I stared at him as if he’s gone nuts, don’t tell me he’s being ma$turbating since he was in coma.
“Are you ok?”
“Yeah, I’m just ho rny.. come on, let’s do a qui ckie” he said.
I smirked as an evil thought strike me, I pinched his leg laying on the bed and he groaned loudly.
“Fk! Baby, what’s that for?”
“Oh.. I wanna confirm if you’re really ok”
“I was just joking, I can’t make l ove to my wife on a hospital bed”
I smirked and nodded.
“That’s more like it, your sense is intact”
He gave me a playful glare, he leaned back on the headboard and pouted his lips.
“You’re bullying a patient” he said.
I laughed at his expression, he looked like a cute little boy right now… I can clearly see the resemblance between him and Davis.
“Don’t worry, I’ll make you scream my name when we get home.. and I swear, you’re gonna lost your voice for screaming so much” he said.
I rolled my eyeballs and headed for the door.
“Where are you going?” He asked.
“To get the doctor, who knows if some of you is still in coma” I replied.
He picked a pillow and threw it at me, but I was already out.
