CHAPTER 25

~ Zion Moretti's Point Of View ~

"Allison!" I almost screamed at the top of my lungs as worried filled me instantly when her body almost fall at the cold ground.

I run to her and quickly enveloped my arms to her waist before she can even hurt herself after what happened. My heart was beating erratically, nervous and worried when I saw her pale and dry lips.

"Miss– oh my gosh! We need to take her to the hospital." A woman who was following her cupped her cheeks to check her temperature.

"Ryan, call a doctor to my office. Immediately." I ordered my secretary without glancing at him for a second. My eyes went back to Allison, trying to stop myself from admiring her still pretty face but I can't help it.

I lift her in my arms, the two officers following on my back stay out on my office while Allison's secretary came follow. I lay her down at the long and soft couch inside my office, I was tempted to stare at her plump at red inviting lips so I had to walk away and distance myself to her before I can do something inappropriate.

"Oh my god..." Her secretary quietly screech as she looks at her phone before looking at Allison. "Miss Allison has another meeting." She weakly said, her lips are slightly pouting as if it was a big deal for a meeting.

"To who?" I can't help but to ask, it's not like I can do something about it but if it's to here, I'll surely find a way to fix it.

"To Mr. Cameron, he's a big client that Miss Allison have been fishing for to expand her company."

My fingers fisted into a ball when I heard that Allison was meeting a man, it's for business, I know. I have also meet other women for decent meetings and business proposal but why did I suddenly felt annoyed at the thought of Allison meeting other men?

I let out a harsh breath, totally pulling myself out of those crazy thoughts. After what I did to Allison and to our baby, I know our relationship won't come back to how it was long ago.

Even before I can answer, the door of my office opened, revealing my secretary and a doctor wearing a white robe with her medical kit.

"Ryan, go with Miss..." I raise a brow at Allison's secretary to ask for her name which she instantly understand.

"Renae, sir." She politely answered with a shy smile.

"Go with Renae to meet with Allison's business partners. Tell them that she sent you in behalf of me, excuse that we are in a important meeting and do everything so she can get their approval. Do you understand?" I don't know why I have to do when Allison's company can send someone or her secretary can just go on her own.

But thinking that she might get disappointed once they got neglected, I don't want her to lose something again.. something important. And I know that this is one because she's been working hard for her company to expand.

"But sir, we also have a business proposal to make. The Guzman's are one of our big clients, you also sent me to meet them for the expansion of our five star hotels." Ryan stated and I have to press my eyes close before landing it at Allison who was being checked by the doctors.

"Drop it, prioritize representing Allison's company." With finalization, I give him the signal to go with Renae, living me with Allison and the doctor alone in the office.

My eyes couldn't seem to look away from, her presence inside my office was always pulling my attention no matter how hard I tried to stay away from her.

It's been two years. Two years and I was still longing and sorry for what happened. There were no days that I won't blame myself for anything that happened. Looking back, I was really happy knowing that I'll be having a hearty connection with Allison through our child, but I was dumb. A fucking dumb asshole who let himself be drugged by a woman.

I was planning to do all my company jobs so I can take a year break and take care of Allison and our baby, I was too busy that I can't even take care of them but I promised. I promised I would give them my entire time and do my best to do better.

My friends kept on inviting me to some party but I always declined, not until I was forcefully taken by my friends and left me with no choice but to join them. I didn't know that time that Irish was planning something wicked. Her have been putting drugs on my drinks and that was the time when I woke up to myself and seeing Allison crying as I called her a slut.

I would never call her that, I would never.

And then another busy days had passed, I was too scared to see her because I was still blaming myself instead of fixing our problem. I was so worried of hurting Allison's feelings that Irish got a way on me and pulled me to a party, that was her second time putting drugs on my drink and when I woke up. My parents were already crying, telling me that Allison was hit by a car and our baby was already gone.

I click my tongue to the side inside of my cheeks, my hands are resting at the sides on my waist. My head lean back so I can still my eyes upward, trying so hard to stop my tears from falling.

When Allison's parents told me that they'll file a case against me, I know the punishment they'll give me won't give justice to Allison. They only file a case that would put me to prison for a year, adds up that I came out positive after a drug test but my parents also took advantage of their connection t freed me out of prison.

But after days of sleeping in a soft bed, my conscience was ghosting me. My heart was being wretched to pieces that I have to beg for my parents to do everything to give my child back to us.. to Allison. I was ready to pay, even if it'll cost me my life. When I woke up to the fact that I can't bring back that tragedy, I told my parents to talk to Allison's parents so they can file a case against me.

They did, but only for a few years, I need to talk to my lawyer and pull some strings so I can teach myself a lesson. After two months of hearing, I will be thrown to prison with ten years imprisonment, I paid millions for the penalty that's why I wanted to give all my properties to Allison before I enter jail.

It might not lessen the pain I serve her but at least I can assure myself that she'll be taking care of herself and can do whatever she wants. She don't even have to work, I made sure to have and train the best person's in my company so they don't have to disturb her.

But seeing her inside of my office, so pale and thin that I almost haven't recognize her body, I don't think I'm ready to go to prison and leave her like this.

"Mr. Moretti?" My eyes attended the doctor who checked her, I didn't know that she was calling me for a couple of seconds.

"Yes? I'm sorry, I was just worried." I let out a boyish and shy smile which she returned with a blush. I want to shook my head because of that, I only want one person to blush whenever I smile at her.

But I don't think I can ever see that blush again.

"About Miss Gulferic, her body are showing lack of rest and starvation. Her heart rate is also lower than expected which means that she lack of proper nutrients for her age." She explained and my jaw instantly quench.

What could be the reason that she's not taking care of herself? I wanted to ask her that question but I'm scared to see the fear in her eyes once it glance on me.

"Do we need to take her to the hospital? What should we do to make her feel better?" I can't help but to show my worried expression, the doctor surely saw that so she remain her expression stoic before giving me a formal smile, finally getting the hunch that the woman unconscious on my office couch is the only woman who I can show my affection with.

"She's good, the best thing you can do is let her sleep somewhere nice and cozy, then feed her immediately as soon as she wakes up. I'll send you a list of food that she needs to relax her body. She looks so tired." After she said that, she left a note on my table and went out of my office to bid her goodbye.

I stood inside of Allison, she looks so peaceful with her eyes close and her lips slightly gaping. Her body get thinner but she still looked so sexy to my eyes.

I was hesitating if I should take her to my condo or just let her rest her, if I took her to my condo of course I'll make sure that someone will look after me to make sure I won't be able to hurt her again. But even before they could stop me, I would probably kill myself if that happened.

Left with no choice, I lift her up again after I called a security to ready the car. The two officers whom I paid to follow me everywhere were instantly on my back. The feeling of Allison's hot body pressed to mine was waking a beast in between my thighs. I missed her so much, there's no point denying it but I will never do anything without her consent.

Except this. She might lash out on me once she woke up but I don't care anymore, the only thing I care right now is to keep her healthy. Even if she don't forgive me or blame for everything that happened, I would gladly accept those facts.

I startled when she moved a little, her arms wrapped over my neck, burying her face on my neck causing her breath to touch my skin. I hissed at the sudden pleasure that it gave me and act normally when the elevator opened.

I let my back rest at the metal wall, staring intently at the only woman who can give me dreams and nightmares at the same time. The elevator door open and my body doesn't want to left the place, I'm not yet done admiring her beauty but I have to.

We both seated at the back of the car, letting my driver to drive me to my unit while Allison's weight was all on me, even when she's thin she was still heavy. I can't lift her higher so her bottom was already brushing my lap and the contact of her ass to my crotch was making me lose my mind.

"Damn it." I silently groaned, trying my best to not put malice at the simplest things. Even after those years she still have the same effect on me, my body still react too active when it's all about her.

Another movement made her body slip on my arms, her lips was pressing on my chest, her back bottom was lying on my crotch but the way she was making weak snores made all the anticipated feeling fade.

I watch her as her lips twitch, her long lashes made her so womanly and her long nails were showing all of her changes in her body. The nerd, simple, shy and joyous Allison that I once knew was now gone. It was replaced with an elegant, powerful, fiery and serious woman.

She's pretty, she's cute, she's sexy, she's perfect to my eyes. The woman that I failed to protect.

But I still like her. If only I wasn't dumb enough, if only I wasn't scared to sacrifice our friendship, I could've told her earlier that I love her ever since we were teens. And I loved her more when she carried our child inside her.

I love you, Allison. I still do even after all those years. I'm sorry.
