WHEN LOVE IS GONE: Chapter 51 – The End
Writer’s pov ?
Thanatos’ apartment.
Thanatos squeezed the paper in his hands and threw it across the living room, I grabbed the phone laying on the table and smashed it.
“Bl.oody ba$tard!” He growled. “Sure enough, he’s involved in this!”
Peter too a few steps away from him, he knew Thanatos wouldn’t mind landing a punch on his face right now.
“How can he use such a cheap trick?”
Peter remained silent, Thanatos averted his gaze to him (Peter).
“What about McMahon? How did Jade ended up being his assistant?”
“Oh.. McMahon sold his company to an anonymous buyer..”
His (Thanatos) brows drew together in a tight frown, his fist balled and punched the table.
“…. we are still yet to know how the new boss is related to Jade”
Thanatos glared at the paper he just threw across the living, then his eyes moved back to the smashed phone on the table.
“I have a hint of who this new boss might be…” Thanatos said.
Peter stared at him curiously, wondering how he would know without investigating it properly.
“Since this is Henry’s plan, then he must also be related to the new boss…”
Thanatos trailed off, he frowned slightly and looked as though he’s thinking about something.
“… but who the he.ll is this new boss? Could it be he’s the mastermind behind everything?”
He paused, the frown still on his forehead.
“I know Henry just wanted the company… but what does this person wants?”
He raised his head and stared at Peter.
“Peter, look deep into this.. find out who bought McMahon’s company.. he might be the one behind everything!”
“Yes, Mr O’Briens” Peter replied with a bow.
Thanatos leaned back on the sofa, he threw his head back and the breath of relief left his mouth.
“Mr O’Briens, are you going to the hospital?” Peter asked.
“Hospital?”
“Yes, sir”
He rubbed his forehead, he groaned softly.
“Why should I go to a hospital?” Thanatos questioned.
“Mrs O’Briens…”
Peter bite his tongue when Thanatos threw him a harsh glare, he quickly averted his eyes from Thanatos.
“Forget about her, you should get on with the task I assigned you”
“Yes, sir” Peter replied, he quickly left…
Few minutes after Peter’s gone, Thanatos got up, he picked his car keys and headed for the door.. deciding to go to the hospital.
But he stopped halfway when his mind flashed back to Jasmine’s condition, how she had almost fainted earlier.
“No, Jasmine doesn’t alright, I can’t just leave her by herself and go to the hospital…”
Frown lines appeared on his forehead, he seemed a little bit confused.
“… I’ll just send Clark over”
He reached for his phone in his pocket, he walked towards the sofa.. perceiving himself as he walked.
He cringe, coughed and gagged slightly.
“I can’t go back to Jasmine while smelling like her sister, I’d better wash up first” he concluded.
He dialed Clark’s number as he walked towards his bathroom.

Jasmine’s pov ?
“Hack!”
“Hack!” I coughed as I puke out my lungs in the toilet.
Some of my hair started falling on my face, I quickly tie them up in a messy bun and continued vomiting.
My hand my neck, as if it would stop me from vomiting…but it didn’t.
It’s just as if someone is dipping their hand in my throat, forcing out every little thing in my stomach.
Even the little pancakes I ate this morning, before going to work kept pouring out.
After a few minutes, I noticed it stopped. I got up and washed my mouth, then stepped into my room.
My legs groggily found their ways to the bed, I laid down and pulled the blanket over me.
Cold… I’m feeling very cold and also having a severe headache, which I don’t seem to understand why.
“Achoo!” I sneezed loudly.
It’s wasn’t long ago, I had a fight with Jade and I was very healthy and strong.. why am I feeling sick now?
This is strange.. or did Jade use some kinda of black magic on me?
“Achoo!” I sneezed again.
My eyes caught the wall clock, a tired groan slipped my mouth as my mind rushed to Davis.
Soon, it’ll be time to pick him up from school, but how am I gonna pick him up in this kind of condition?
My phone’s ringtone suddenly blared loudly, I tried to reach for it but couldn’t..
I’m feeling weak and my vision is becoming blurry, I just wanted to sleep.. but before I fell asleep, I saw my door burst open.
Thanatos rushed in, I felt him held me in his arms and I saw his mouth moving.. but I couldn’t interpret what he was saying.
I only heard him called my name once.
“… Jasmine”
I felt limp and exhausted, then… I don’t know what happened next.

Thanatos pov ?
My pupils dilated in fear.
In all my life, I’ve never been scared of anything, nothing at all scares me.
But seeing Jasmine go limp in my arms, made an unknown fear gripped me and I felt lost for a moment.. not knowing what to do.
“Baby, open your eyes! Baby, open your eyes!”
Sadly, she wasn’t responding at all, her body simply remained stilled in my arms.
Panic shoot through me, the fear of losing her suddenly overwhelmed me.
“You’re scaring me, baby, please open your eyes!” I said in a shaken voice.
Is she doing this to teach me a lesson? But who would joke with their life just to teach someone a lesson.
Besides, she doesn’t look as though she’s faking it.
“Baby, please open your eyes.. I promise, I’ll leave if you ask me to.. I promise I’ll do whatever you want just open your eyes for me, ok?”
What should I do? Would it be too late if I take her to the hospital?
“Baby!”
Wait, aunt Grace!
I reached for my phone and quickly dialed her number, luckily, she picked up after a few rings.
“Aunt!”
“Thanatos?” A hint of surprise in her voice.
“Aunt, help me” I said.
I felt something rushing down my cheek, I quickly wiped it off but frown when I realized it’s water…or rather tears.
Tears?! Since when do I start crying?!
“Thana.. what’s wrong?”
“She passed out on me, she passed out on me, aunt she passed out on me” I chanted like a five years old.
Aunt cleared her throat.
“Calm down, Thana…calm down and talk to me like a man, stop panicking”
I shut my eyes and took a deep breath…I didn’t even let my breath settle down before I started talking again.
“I don’t know aunt, my wife suddenly fainted… is there any way to wake her up before taking her to the hospital?”
There’s a moment of silence from her side, I gritted my teeth impatiently.. I don’t have this time she’s wasting.
“Quick, tell me her symptoms”
“Symptoms?”
“Hmm” she hummed in reply.
I frowned.
“I don’t really know if this can be considered a symptom, she has been rubbing her forehead recently and complaining about severe headaches”
“Hmm, anything else?”
I think back quickly, this afternoon’s event came to my mind.
“She almost fainted this afternoon, after having a fight with someone”
Aunt Grace kept quiet briefly, then spoke.
“Has she been sleeping a lot recently?”
“Yes, yes, she’s also gets tired easily these days” I replied.
Aunt Grace sighed, she started laughing.
Her laughter is kinda surprising and annoying right now, how can she be laughing at a time like this?!
“Phew! Thana, you scared me…I thought something very bad had happened to her” she said after laughing to her heart content.
I’m confused by her speech, is she trying to say Jasmine’s passing out isn’t something to fuss about?!
“Aunt…”
“Jasmine’s fine, just place a icepack on her forehead.. she’s gonna wake up in a few minutes”
“Icepack?! How’s that gonna work?”
“Just trust me, I’ll prescribe some drugs for you later.. but after she’s alright, take her to the hospital for a proper check up”
My eyes moved to Jasmine, I wonder what an icepack can do here.
“Thana, it’s quite normal for her to pass out…it happens a lot at the early stage”
“Early stage?”
What does she mean? Early stage… it’s only cancer I know of that has stages.. don’t tell me…
“Early stage of what, aunt?” I asked.
My heart is beating fast, if she’s talking about cancer, what would I do? I mean, how should I break the news to Jasmine when she wakes up?
“If my suspicion is right, the Jasmine is pregnant”
That word pregnant rang in my ear a few times, I thought this only happens in films.. but it actually happened to me.
It’s as if aunt is constantly repeating it in my ear.
“Pre-pregnant?”
“Yes, that should be the result of her tiredness, headaches and dizziness…”
I toned her off and stared at Jasmine’s face, how is this possible?
But she told me she can’t ever conceive, or is this a dream? Am I dreaming?
I pinched myself very hard and hissed quietly in pain, which simply means.. it’s not a dream.
A great job erupted from the pit of my stomach, my lips curved into a smile.. I leaned down and pecked her forehead.
I’m going to be a dad again! And this time, I’ll be here to witness every single step with her! Oh joy!!
“Aunt…”
“Don’t get too excited, I’m just suspecting she’s preg.nant”
“I don’t care if you’re just suspecting or not.. you can’t stop me from being happy” I said.
My hand rubbed Jasmine’s belly fondly, my lips curved in a bright smile.
“Well, first things first, go get an icepack and do what I told you.. I’ll message you the drugs to get right now.. then take her for a check up later”
“Thanks aunt”
“You’re welcome, darling” she said and hanged up.
I gently laid Jasmine down, then rushed out of her room to get the icepack.
Luckily, there’s one icepack in her fridge, I collected it and rushed back to her room.. I placed it on her forehead.
Just then, my phone beeped. I reached for it and saw the drugs aunt prescribed.. I checked the time.
It’s almost time to get Davis from school, I should cook something before picking him up.. I might as well buy the drugs too.

Jasmine’s pov ?
My eyelids twitched spastically, until they snapped open. I felt something cold on my forehead and I reached for it.. it’s an icepack.
What happened to me? Why was there an icepack on my forehead? And who put it there?
I sat upright and rested my back against the headboard, I dropped the icepack on the bedside table.
Thankfully, my headache is gone and…wait!
Then it all came rushing back to me, headache.. dizziness and.. I must have fainted.
But who saved me? Could it be Thanatos? Yes, it must be him, I remembered seeing him rushed inside.
Suddenly, it felt as though the worms in my stomach are having a sport competition, I squeezed my stomach to calm them down.. but that just seemed to anger them more.
I better go eat something, who knows, it might be I passed out because I ate very little food this morning.
Jumping off my bed, I wore my flip-flops and rushed out to the kitchen.
Halfway to the kitchen, my eyes caught something at the dinning table and I quickly changed my destination.
My eyes lit up in excitement as I scanned the different types of dishes on the table, I looked my eyes and inhale their sweet aroma.
“Wow! Is someone celebrating a feast in my house?” I thought out loud.
My stomach growled again, making the hunger in me increase…
Without wasting any time, I slumped onto a chair and reached for a drumstick.. I inhaled it aroma and sighed in contentment.
“This is heaven”
A sticky note caught my attention on a glass, I reached for it and read the words.
“Off to pick our son from school, don’t know if you’ll wake up before we get back…just eat whatever you like”
I scoffed and cast it aside… he’s trying to be sweet after letting that she-devll fk him!
“Well, even though I’m mad at him, I can’t let my stomach suffer for it.. also, it’s a pity to these food go to waste”
I laughed.
“I’ll just help myself!”
That’s all I need to dig in.
