ADOPT YOU

I woke up very early as we both planned to arrive early. Zack did the cooking while I did the dishes we both showered and dressed up

We were about to leave when I felt a cold breeze caress my skin, it made me shiver although I was wearing something warm

the breeze seem to have a voice of its own that stated danger

" Zack " I called and held his hand

" Lucy what's wrong" he turned to face me

" Please don't go, I don't have a good feeling about stepping out today " I couldn't explain how I felt but I tried my best to make it explained through words

he hugged me and kissed my forehead

" it's okay I know you're probably scared about the reactions of your parents but am sure they won't do anything as you said they both love you so much "

I couldn't explain myself properly and I also couldn't refuse to go as I didn't have a reasonable reason

I nodded but I felt this decision of mine was going to cause me dearly

we got to the car and he tried igniting it but it refused to start

" Zack..."

" I'll check it just a minute" he stepped out

I didn't know why I felt this way but it was a good thing

" alright let's go " he started the car

" Why don't we teleported home and it's quicker" I tried persuading him

" wifey the car is already fixed and as you said earlier it won't be safe teleporting in and out of somewhere"

" but..."

" do you trust me," he asked and I just nodded

" then you know I would never let any harm come to you right " I looked into his eyes and I nodded

" then please don't get worried everything would be fine " he caressed my face and kissed me

we broke the kiss and he drove off

everything would be fine I said to myself

The trip went on quiet and smooth, it was as if there was no danger and all the feelings I harbored were a fit of my imagination and nothing else

I raised my finger to look at the ring Zack gave to me which brought a smile to my face

" hubby " I called

" yes baby "

" When did you get this ring made "

" hmm after we got back from the island " my mouth was left open hearing his answer

" so you were already prepared to make me mine no matter what "

" well yes " he pouted and looked cute

" and what if I didn't fall for you and refused to marry you ". I asked with a smile

" then you would have left me with no option than adopt you," he said with a smirk

" what if I ran away " I retorted

" I would be able to recognize you even with my eyes close in a crowd of millions " I blushed hearing that

I turned to look outside as I didn't want to face Zack

we were at a bridge the water was so beautiful it I felt like taking a dive

I turned to look at Zack and his expression was filled with worry

" hubby what's wrong" I turned to face him

" hmm I think the breaks aren't working and theirs a valley ahead of us," he said in a deep voice that could make one shiver

" w...what, how did that happen we.. drove it here and there was no problem" tears suddenly started coming out of my eyes

" Lucy calm down okay we'll be fine" he consoled and wiped my face but I could see he was worried

I was about to suggest he slowed down so we could jump but I heard a ticking sound I looked out the window to find a bomb

" Zack theirs a bomb attached to the car " I panicked

" fuck " he cursed

"Lucy I want you to jump out "

" what " I turned to look at him

" I want you to jump now " he repeated.

" b...but.. what.... about...you "

" I'll be fine okay, we are about to leave the bridge, and the water at the end is a bit shallow so it's safe to jump "

I looked at him and knew it was difficult to make this decision

I pulled him close and kissed him

" Promise me you'll come back to me " I stretched my hand

" I promise," he said with a sad smile

I removed my seat belts and then opened the door

I took one more look at Zack and jumped into the water

unlike what Zack said the water wasn't shallow, it took me time to maintain my stability in the water

I swam to the surface of the water and found the shore a little distance from where I was

I tried swimming but the current was just too strong.

I took a deep breath, closed my eyes, and raised my hands up

the water then turned into ice and I quickly climbed on the ice path I created.

I ran as fast as my legs could take me, and when I got to the road I couldn't spot Zacks's car

I turned around to check if I could find it on the other side when suddenly a car speeded me

I removed my hair from my face and noticed it was Zacks's car

I ran after it but it was too fast

" wind move," I said and gained the support of the wind

the car suddenly hit s tree and came to a stop

I ran toward the driver's seat and Zack was already unconscious, I removed his seat belt and pulled him out

he was well built and kinda heavy so it took me time to bring him out of the car

Beside the door was the bomb if not carefully observed once could not notice it as it was sprayed the same color as the car

looking at the bomb I realized we only had forty-five seconds left

I pulled zack with all my strength and succeeded in pulling him away from the car

we were barely nine feet away from the car when I heard an explosion.

the explosion took me off my feet and I hit my head on a stop

Zack on the other hand was still close to the car and the car parts were on him

I stood up and rushed toward Zack

I removed the car parts as they were on fire and pulled Zack away from the car

My head began spinning and I started seeing things in two my vision was becoming blurry and the last thing I could remember was Zack lying on the ground and everything around became dark.

* * *

I opened my eyes to find myself in a room there were beeping machines and some other things.

from the surrounding, I could tell it was in the hospital

my hand was connected to a drip while I was wearing an oxygen mask

Everything suddenly came flooding back into my eyes and I got worried

" Zack " I called and tried sitting up

" ma please lie down" a nurse came running close and I removed the oxygen mask

" where's Zack " I questioned catching my breath

" Doctor, DOCTOR the patient is awake" she screamed

" where's my husband" I questioned this time screaming

but she ignored

the doctor came in and started checking me

he checked my heartbeat and then some other things but all I wanted was to see Zack

" where's Zack "

" ma please who's Zack, " the doctor asked

" he's my husband we were both involved in this accident " I explained

" ohh the man admitted with you, actually he was discharged a few months ago," he said and I was left in shock

" What a few months ago, how long have I been unconscious"

" approximately half a year"

" six months" I screamed

I couldn't believe what I heard

have been away in a coma for six months and I no longer wanted to stay in the hospital, but I knew the doctor wouldn't let me leave

" ahem ... doctor can I get discharged," I asked putting my hopes high

" yes but....."

" thank you and if you want anything you can contact me, hmm am Lucy Ken Devi," I said and I could see the nurse's face glow

" you mean Lucy Devi the nephew of Lucian Devi, the master of all tycoons," she asked and I nodded

" But ma "

" doctor please" I plead and he just nodded giving up

" I'll get your discharged papers ready "

" thanks but I want to leave right now "

" ma..." I raised my hand to stop the nurse from speaking, I think trying to reason with them was of no use so I resulted to threat

" if you don't allow me to leave this hospital in the next minute then consider this hospital gone for good," I said with a serious face

" It's okay ma you can leave," the doctor said and the nurse disconnected the drip

The receptionist handed my phone over to me and I made my way for the door

I put on my phone and ordered a cab online

it was going to take some time so I made my way to the little clothes shop close to the hospital as I couldn't go around in a patients gown

I finally got a simple sunshine gown and the cab had already arrived.

I couldn't imagine how Zack would react when he finally saw me after many months

I was lost in taught when the driver announced our arrival

I got down the cap and ran into the house

I found Zack standing in the dining area and I couldn't explain the joy I felt

" Zack " I called and ran towards him

I hugged him from behind as tears rolled down my cheeks

" Zack am so so sorry am sorry for making you wait "I cried but got no reply from him

" za...."

"get the hell of me, who the fuck are you " he pushed me away
