Fuck, why is this happening?
Time stretches and warps, the seconds elongating as if to magnify the horror of the scene.
“Tiero,” I wail, surrendering to the tears.
“Stay the fuck with me,” I plead, taking his face into my hands, trying to focus his gaze on me.
He forces his eyes to mine. “Angel,” he croaks, his voice unrecognizable.
“Tiero, please. I love you. Don’t leave me. Please!”
I hold onto him like a drowning woman clutching onto a piece of driftwood.
Then we’re surrounded by medical staff. They lift him onto a gurney and rush him back into the hospital, shouting things to each other I don’t understand.
Nothing makes sense.
I run beside them, holding on to Tiero’s hand. It’s cold and clammy… as if the life is draining from his body.
No!
Invisible hands squeeze my heart, and I’m left gasping for air between desperate sobs.
“Ella,” Aiden says from beside me, but I don’t look at him.
My eyes are riveted on the man I promised to spend the rest of my life with.
“You need to let him go,” Ade says.
“Never,” I sob.
“I mean, you can’t go into the operating theatre with him. Let go of his hand, Sunshine.”
No, I’m too scared to. I need to hold on to him. He needs me.
God, please. Don’t take him from me. Not when we were just starting the rest of our lives together.
Chapter Fifty-Five
Gualtiero
Ella’sheart-wrenchingsobspenetratethe heavy fog settling over me. Everything is in a dark haze, ready to pull me under.
“Angel,”my soul is crying out for her.“I’m so sorry.”
The words are in my mind. How do I tell her?
I can’t move, my body useless.
This might be it. If it is, at least I died protecting her.
She will cry. She’s already crying.
Fuck, I hate her tears.
I don’t want to be a dark cloud hanging over her. I want to be her sunshine, her light and her star. Because that’s what she is to me.
She illuminates everything.
