Alex's POV
Two days passed and the Prime Minister is still not conscious.
Emma was taken to court and she was sentenced to death by electrocution in two weeks time.
And me? I'm just here, waiting for some kind of miracle to happen and save me from this nightmare.
If I decide try to save Emma that means Jasmine will definitely die and if I try to save Jasmine that means..... Emma will die.
Who should I choose among the two people I care about?
Why?
Tony, Megan and even Mason has been by my side telling me it's gonna be alright but it's hard to believe everything will be alright when things are so messy.
I haven't even spoken to Jasmine for the past four days, I don't even know how she is.
And she's going through all this just because of me, I am a danger to her.
I haven't even gotten the chance to tell her I care about her, how much I love her. Please be safe for me Jasmine.
There was a knock on the door to my office jerking me from my thoughts
"Come in" I said and Andrew walked in.
"The Prime Minister is awake doctor." Andrew said and I quickly stood.
"When?" I asked.
"Some minutes ago." He said and I quickly wore my coat and took my stethoscope.
"Let's go" I said and we walked out of the office to the VVIP room the Prime Minister was.
"Alex" he called weakly as soon as I walked in.
I didn't reply and I just examined him.
"I don't know if I should be happy or sad that you are still alive" I said.
"I heard you saved me" he said.
"Only because of Jasmine" I replied.
"What about my the Pituitary gland surgery?" He asked.
"We couldn't perform the surgery then cause your system was weak from the damage it suffered from the bullet. And if we had tried to remove the tumor then, you definitely won't have survived it, but now that you've started recovering, we can start getting ready for the surgery" I explained.
"Great, that's good news" he said.
"But I won't be operating on you" I said.
"What?"
"You heard me right" I said.
"You all should leave us." He said to everyone in the room and they all left.
"In case you are forgetting, I still have Jasmine and she'll be dead if you don't operate on me successfully." The Prime Minister said.
"How do I know she's still alive?" I said and he chuckled.
"You want to speak with her? Is that what this is about?" He asked.
"I want to speak with her and I also want you to release Emma" I said.
"Emma? You mean the lady that called herself Julia Davis? The lady that shot me? Definitely not!"
"She's being sentenced to death William!" I yelled.
"And she deserves it! I'm sure you know I've been looking for her for years, now the police are just doing me a favor by killing her off" he said.
"If she dies, I'll kill you myself" I said.
"Look Alex, even if I want to release Emma, I can't, she shot me in the public, everyone saw her shooting the Prime Minister, there are many witness and she's already convicted. There's absolutely nothing I can do about it, the law must take it's course." He said and I looked at him wishing I could just strangle him.
"You are right, the law must take it's course and I promise you William Sanders, you won't be an exception, you will be convicted for your bad deeds and I'll make sure of that." I said and he smiled.
"Maybe but right now, you can't do anything but save my life as long as I have Jasmine, now do you still want to speak with her?" He asked and I sighed.
"Yes."
"Then get me my phone." He said motioning at the phone on top of the table and I took it and gave it to him.
Jasmine's POV
I've been strapped to this chair for the past four days.
My body is all sour and my muscles are aching.
The door opened and I knew who it was, Ryan.
He's been coming to check on me everyday and he brings food along though I barely eat it.
"Good morning sweetheart." He said as he sat in front of me holding a plastic bag and a red file.
"I bought you burger and a drink" he said as he dropped the plastic bag on my thigh.
"Now, I am going to untie the ropes so that you can eat but be a good girl and don't try anything funny." He said and he stood up and started untying the ropes binding me to the chair.
"You have ten minutes and after that, I don't care if you eat or not, I am tying you back." He said and I just stared at him.
How can someone be so unfeeling and heartless.
I've said all I could, trying to convince him to let me go but he won't hear me out.
His phone suddenly rang and he picked it up.
"Prime Minister" he said.
"Yeah, she's totally fine and she's right here."
"Okay" he said again and gave me the phone.
"Your boyfriend wants to speak to you." He said and I quickly collected the phone.
"Alex" I called.
🗨️ "Jasmine."
"Oh my God, I never thought I'll be able to speak with you again."
🗨️ "You'll be fine Jasmine, I promise you that, I won't let anything happen to you, I promise."
"I know you are trying your best Alex and I heard everything about Emma, don't blame yourself for all this, everything will turn out fine in the end." I said.
"That's enough" Ryan said and snatched the phone from me.
"You've spoken to your girlfriend as you wished now give the phone back to the Prime Minister." Ryan said on the phone.
Moments later he ended the call and sat back in front of me.
"The Prime Minister's surgery is scheduled for tomorrow and I was asked to keep you safe till then now be a good girl and don't make my job hard for me" Ryan said.
"I thought your job was to be a doctor, when did you turn in to the Prime Minister's errand boy?" I asked.
"I am still a doctor and I am no one's errand boy, I'm only doing all this to protect my family, so stop talking and eat your food or I'll just have to tie you back and tape your mouth." He said and I kept quiet for some moments.
Then I noticed he was holding a red file, he's always with this file whenever he comes here.
