A miscarriage
A miscarriage
~BACK IN ITALY~
Gabriella dialed Gemma's number for the hundredth time today and it kept saying the same thing.
"The number you're trying to call is not reachable"
She slammed her phone hard on the table and this made her colleague at work jump off of the table in fright.
"The fuck, Gabriella! You scared the hell out of me!" Elena said.
"I'm so sorry, Elena, it wasn't intentional" Gabriel apologized.
"Of course, it wasn't intentional!" Elena sarcastically replied.
"You've been lost in thoughts these days and always distracted at work. Madam is starting to complain, what's wrong Gabriella?"
"It's nothing. I'm fine" Gabriella replied.
"You're sure? You don't look fine" Elena said as she eyed Gabriella from head to toe.
"Yes, I'm fine" Gabriella replied and flashed her a smile.
"If you say so. Get your ass up from there, we've got so much work to do" Elena said as she walked away.
"Gemma, where the hell are you? What the fuck is happening over there? Why can't I reach you?? I'm really worried about you" Gabriella said.
She's never felt so lonely, worried and frustrated her entire life. This whole Gemma issue is eating her up. She's never set her eyes on Gemma after that day she's taken away by those horrible men and was really glad when Gemma called to tell her she's fine.
Now, she can't reach Gemma anymore and it made her really worried.
"I just hope you're fine Gemma, I really hope you're fine. I don't want to lose you, you're the only family I have right now. You're there for me when my parents died and after my sister, Margaret abandoned me. I really hope you're fine" She sighed.
She took a deep breath, stood up and walked over to Elena.
"Vanessa, I can't take this anymore. I feel like I'm going to die anytime soon. The pain in my heart, I can't bear it anymore" Margaret cried out to her best friend on a video call.
"Margaret, you need to calm down. You still have a better chance of winning Antonio's heart because you've always been there for him. And now, you're carrying his child"
"Nessa, I don't know anymore. I really don't know. I'm a month gone and still haven't gotten the chance to tell him I'm pregnant. That cheap slut is occupying my position in his house and heart. I really don't know anymore" Margaret sniffed.
"I really don't know why you're crying, Garet. You're not one to cry, you're a strong woman remember? You've been stressing yourself over this and I don't like it. Why are you stressing yourself and the baby? You know what you're capable of, you know you can get anything you want, why are you being so soft now?" Vanessa asked.
"I don't know, I just feel so emotional. I feel like karma is on me for abandoning my sister, Gabriella. Everyone I've ever loved seems to leave me. My fiance died before we could even get married, the only man I ever loved doesn't seem to love me back, I can't find my sister. I feel so alone" Margaret cried.
"You're not alone, I'm here for you. It's not your fault you haven't found your sister. You've been searching hard for her and I believe you'll find her soon" Vanessa consoled.
"I don't even know what she looks like right now. I left her when she's ten years old. I left my only sister alone. Vanessa, how could I be so stupid? I've searched everywhere for her, everywhere in California and the United States, everywhere in the Philippines, places I think she could be but no results. How could I have abandoned her?"
"It wasn't your fault. You left to search for a better life for the both of you. You had plans to take her with you when you finally made it. You went back and couldn't find her, how is that your fault?" Vanessa asked.
"Nessa, I don't know what to do anymore. I need my man back. I need to find my sister, I don't know if she's fine out there, I don't know if she's still alive, I don't even want to think about her being dead because I'll never forgive myself. I feel so alone. I just wish you're here with me"
"I'm sorry sweetheart that I'm not there with you right now. I have something keeping me here and I promise you to fly straight to Italy when I'm done with it. Stop stressing yourself and the baby. Pull yourself and get Antonio back from that slutty bitch" Vanessa said.
"I swear, I'm going to kill her!" Margaret swore.
"Anything to get your man back. I'm fully in support of you" Vanessa said.
"Thank you so much, Nessa. You're the best!"
"I love you so much baby girl. Don't forget that, and be strong for me, okay?"
"Okay Nessa," Margaret replied.
"Good. I'll talk to you later, got something to do right now" Vanessa said.
"Alright, bye"
Vanessa blew Margaret a kiss and whispered an "I love you" before the video call ended.
Margaret sighed and kept her phone down. Then she came down from her bed and went to the bar. She's going to drink to clear her mind and pull herself back together and make plans to get her man back!
She'll spare no one who's going to be in her way! No one at all! Even if it means killing whoever is in her way of getting Antonio, she's ready for that.
She spent the whole day drinking and smoking, crying her eyes out then drinking again to console herself. She kept repeating the same process till the day was far gone.
Her maid had been begging to eat but she refused and drank on an empty stomach. When she felt she's drank enough, she went back to her room and retired to bed.
Margaret hadn't slept for long when she started feeling a sharp pain in her stomach. She ignored it at first and kept on rolling painfully on her bed.
It must be because she drank on an empty stomach, she thought.
The pains became so intense and she stood up forcefully on the bed. She felt something dropping from her private part and down to her legs.
"No, no, no" she shook her head in fright and struggled to switch on the lights as her hands were shaking in fright and her head seriously refusing what's on her mind.
She finally found the switch and turned the lights on. And there on her bed, was a pool of her own blood.
"Noooooo" she screamed then passed out.
