Chapter 30

Annur's POV:

"Milan where are we going?" I ask Milan as we take the team into the woods.

"We're following the tracker," Milan replies.

"C'mon really, inside the woods? That's why we couldn't find her." I say. "I see something," One of Milan's men say.

"Where?" Milan asks. "Over there," He points.

"I see it too." It's a cottage but kind of bigger, surrounded by guards with cars parked outside.

"I see it, but we can't go further we'll get caught we need to get them from here," Milan says.

"Do not use bullets, use the tranquilizer remember we need them alive to have a case." Milan says again.

"Yes sir." They say as we open fire.

"Shit, shit, where is that coming from" We hear one of Hani's men say. "Inside, go inside!" Another says.

We get all the guards at the front door, but some manage to escape so we move further.

Milan directs some of his men to go behind and some by the side house while a few of them Were with him and I.

"Are you ready? Let's go in," Milan says.

"Definitely." I reply eagerly. Oh lord I need to find Hatina here, please Allah let me find her.

We move inside the cottage and the guards start to fire, as we also shoot back reducing the number of men there. You might be wandering if I also hold a gun. Of course I did, I'm a man I need to protect myself too.

I glance ahead and see a door, I tap Milan and show him the door.

Being a billionaire also has its perks, perks that I'm able to defend myself in time like this after all the training I was forced to go to by my dad. He says, 'what's the point of having all these bodyguards when you yourself can't even protect a hair on your body'.

So yes I took training, first military combat, so I know all those tactics.

Thanks dad, they are coming in handy.

"Cover us," Milan says as we move towards the door and when I opened it my jaw drops. I've never been so shocked in my life.

Adrenaline fills me as what I'm seeing is hanged or rather who, while anger emerges my fists.

I see Hatina hanged up like a tied-up cow to be slaughtered, to my surprise her eyes are closed as her head is down with her hands tied up.

My eye only sees Hatina and forget to look at the rest, and when I turn they meet to see Haleema, Alex and Hani as Milan points a gun to their heads.

"Ya Allah, what have you done? Alex you! How could you? And you Haleema, you're her fucking best friend. Why?" I spit irritated and disappointed.

"I swear to God you all would be pleading when I'm done with each of you," My voice stern as anger coerce me.

"But, now's not the time for you guys, I'm here to take back my wife. Milan take them, I'll make sure all of you rot in jail and die there, even your families will regret ever bringing you disgraceful human beings to this world. I'll make all of you suffer for what you've all done, Milan take them at once," I say as I go to untie Hatina.

I am mad, infuriated in fact but I can't deal with them now. Hatina is here, she's finally here.

"Annur sir, it’s not what you think... I" I cut him off.

"Don't dare Annur sir me or I swear I'll punch the fuck out of you right now." I say. " Milan what the hell are you waiting for?" I ask.

"Roll the gun over," Milan says and I look at Alex hand to find a gun I didn't even notice before. Was he planning on killing my wife? what were they planning on doing? Thank God we came when I did.

"What were you planning on doing with that?" I ask.

"Look Annur it’s not what you think," Alex says as he pass the gun to Milan and Milan handcuffs all of them.

"Shut the hell up, don’t you dare save your skin, we're all in this together." Hani says making everyone stare at her.

"I hate you, you're nothing but a selfish gold-digging bitch." I spit. " Please take them I'm disgusted by them."

Milan arrests them and give them to his men to take he, so he can help me to free Hatina.

"Check her pulse," Milan says as her whole face is bloody, her dress is soaked in blood, and she's not even moving.

Oh my God.

"Oh God, Milan she doesn't have a pulse." I panic as we bring her down. I'm sacred shitless right now. I don't know what to do, my whole body is numb just from seeing her this way.

"Call 911 now!" I yell.

I put her on my lap and start to press her chest that's when my eye lands on her dress properly.

"Oh God, she's bleeding, what did they do to her?" I scream.

"They are on their way," Milan says as he comes to help me.

"What's wrong with her? what did... She's not responding," I say panicking.

"Hatina please wake up, c'mon I need you, Hatina please stay with me " I say with my eyes watery. Her writs are all red and bloody, her legs are with blood. Just what in God's name did they do to her to make her bleed this much?

"She's not still responding," I say. Where the hell are the medics.

I tale out my phone to call 911 again when I turn to see them coming in, instantly bending to check Hatina.

"check her pulse," One of them say.

"She doesn't have one," The other says as they all look at each other.

"Let's move her now, Sir please move." One of the medics says as they take Hatina inside the car and I follow them inside but they stop me. What!

"What are you doing?" I ask.

"Sir you can't come in," The medic say.

"I beg you now don't annoy me before you'll be the one begging. I'm her husband for God's Sake," I say.

"I'm so sorry sir, come in." They move way for me to get into the car.

We get in and they start to move, the medics immediately plug some stupid machines into her as they start to pump her heart.

Oh Ya Allah please save her. I put my hand on my face and rub them back my hair. I look at the monitor praying it's gonna beep.

"Beep beep beep beep beep." The machine begins to ring. Ya Allah thank you...oh Thank God.

"She's alive Alhamdulilah," I say as I go to see her, but her eyes were not still open.

"Why isn't she waking up?" I ask.

None of them answer my question as they go to jump start her heart again when the machine start to make a silent sound.

"What happening?" I ask panicking "We're losing her," The Medic says talking to the other Medic as we reach the hospital and they start to take her out.

"To the ICU!" They yell and then I follow them but they stop me again. "Why, let me in?" I basically cry as I become disheveled.

"Sir it seems you wife condition is severe, you need to stay out for us to do our job," a doctor says to me.

"But..." I didn't finish as he leaves.

I stand there pacing around up and down, I don't know how many hours I've been here but I just keep seeing nurses coming in and going out.

I try to stop one of them but they are all in a hurry. What’s going on?

My eye becomes red and watery as I become out of thought. I'm clueless and this is all my fault, Hatina can't leave me.

A thought came to my mind and I realize I am alone in the hospital as I didn't call mom, dad or my siblings and Milan didn't come with me because he had to arrest those criminals.

I take out my phone and call dad.

"Dad... I... Hat...I...na.." I break down. "Annur what happened, tell me?" Dad asks.

"We've found Hatina b..ut sh..e's...she's in the hos...pital and, Ya Allah." I break down as tears emerge. "she won't wake up, dad she's not opening her eyes," I say.

"Annur, wait there we're coming over now. What hospital?" Dad asks.

"Central hospital," I say.

"Don't panic we'll be there soon." Dad says.

I pace up and down waiting for my family to come. I don't know how long it is but they are finally here. I look around to see Hatina's family too.

Aunt, Uncle, Dad, Mom, Faiza, Faiza, Khadijah, and Hatina's younger brother.

"Where is she?" Mom asks.

"She's in the ICU, but no one will answer they've been coming and going I don't know what happening." I say.

"She'll be alright don't worry son," Dad consoles me.

"Ya Allah save my child, Ahmed will she be okay?" Aunt cries.

"She'll be." uncle says patting Aunt at the back, with uncertainty also lacing his voice.

Faiza and Faiz are also asking questions which I answer. Faiza cries while Faiz consoles her. Khadijah panics and Khalid keeps on asking for Hatina.

We wait for hours but still nothing, just nothing, until finally a doctor comes out, which is the one I spoke to before.

"Mr. Abubakar?" The doctor call.. "Yes, how is she?" I rush to him.

"Your wife's case is extremely severe" He begins. "She has suffered from major blood loss, bruises, cuts on her body, serious injuries and most importantly shifting of the fetus." The doctor says.

"What are you talking about? Fetus? what do you mean?" I ask the doctor.

"Didn't you know she's pregnant. And If care is not taken, that baby will die." The doctor warns.

Oh... No no, no.

That's what she was trying to tell me. This is all my fault, it's all my freaking fault.

If I hadn't been too busy and let her go to that hospital alone, if I hadn't been too nonchalant about her recent developments, I would have fucking seen that she was with child my child.

I swear to God, Hani will pay, even if it's my last breath.

"So doctor what do we do now?" I sigh frustrated.

"Right now, nothing, she hasn't woken up yet, we just performed a surgery to shift the fetus back to its normal condition, but we don't know how it has affected the mother, we won't know until she wakes up, but she hasn't which is unexpected, but again the injuries are very severe, it looks like she was tortured or would I say beaten, for the fetus to be affected this bad." The doctor says.

"So there's nothing that can be done?" My voice deepens.

"Not until she wakes up.." He begins to say but is interrupted.

"Sir there's a problem, she's..." A nurse comes out as she leaves again with the doctor.

"Ya Allah," I run a hand through my hair as I squat down with tears rolling down my eyes.

Just when things were falling in place, when we were supposed to be happy the most and then Hani came, and tortured my wife like she is a lifeless being.

No, no, no, I will not take this, never. I'm not just a billionaire for nothing. she'll pay until her last breath, she'll beg and receive no mercy. I promise this.

Nurses came in and out again rushing but I stop one of them, as I get up. "How is my wife?" I ask shaking.

"She's going into shock, I'm sorry. We're trying our best." The nurse says.

"I don't want you to try your best I want you to do your best!" I yell and the nurse runs off to the ICU room as my family comes closer.

Oh lord I don't want to lose Hatina, I can't lose Hatina. Please God.
