CHAPTER 351: CONSUMED BY GUILT 2

         AUTHOR POV

The sudden but over incredible engagement went on until late at night.

The couple enjoyed themselves to the fullest that night that they didn't wish for it to end but unfortunately, anything that had its starting point or source, must end.

Samir was taken away from the place earlier that night as he had to return to prison. He was angry and devastated because he wanted to spend more time with his daughter, Blessing but unfortunately, he had to go.

Sandra was also taken away but her case was different as she returned to the hospital, unlike Samir. Her husband, Richard, also took off earlier to go hom for his children.

Walter and Nea stayed a little longer and eventually, they also took off from the place giving the lover birds their time alone.

Camila had to leave too but she was unhappy because she felt like she was forced to leave because every adult had taken off.

Dean's case was different, he refused to leave making Alex and Blessing sigh but they had to let him be. But the boy used his common sense and moved away from the place to a far room leaving them alone eventually.

Finally, the couple was left alone. They couldn't resist their urge to be together and ended up spending the first night after all the years of being together. 

Blessing's happiness wasn't able to be measured. That night brought them together and their love grew deeper than before as they became one after that night. They could now feel each other's emotions, feelings and love hence it was easy for them to understand each other better. 

Now the day was over and what they had now were memories which would take them many years without forgetting.

For the first time since they get to know each other, Blessing woke up early than Alex who was used to waking up at the crack of dawn. Today, the man got a peaceful sleep that he couldn't believe himself. All this while he had thought he was a light sleeper but that was not the case. The reason was very simple, he had the best night ever and now here they were, eating their breakfast peacefully while admiring each other. Indeed, love was a beautiful thing if only one got the right person at the right time and place.

"W-why are you smiling like that? So annoying!" Blessing murmured with a blush as she gazed at the man who was smiling endlessly.

"Well, thank you!" Alex couldn't hide his satisfaction by seeing the love of his life blushing because of his mischievous smile.

"Thank you for what?" Blessing asked in confusion.

"For the breakfast. I didn't know you can cook like this and for.."

"You!" Blessing clenched her fists in irritation because she had already guessed where the conversation was heading to and she couldn't let it continue.

'This man!' She thought with a hidden smile. Anyway, she loved him like that.

"Hahahaha! What are you scared of?" He asked while chewing his sausage.

"I have to go now. I am getting late!" Blessing ignored him and got up from her chair ready to leave.

"Wait, I will drive you. Just a minute. I can't let my wife drive by herself this early morning!" Alex stated loudly as always, with a smile plastered on his mouth.

He got up from the dining table too after wiping his mouth and followed the girl who was already at the door.

After some time, they got out of their massive new mansion heading t prison only for a man to step in front of them with a little bow.

"What is it, Edwin?" Alex asked while gazing at his trusted man.

"I wanted to know if you would want to be accompanied by bodyguards, boss!" The man answered eyes on Alex who was holding Blessing by the waist.

"No! I want to be left alone with my wife. I don't need bodyguards or a chauffeur, I will just ride by myself!" Alex didn't beat around the bush but went straight to the point leaving his man shaking his head. His boss always acted weirdly especially when he was talking about his woman. The man was over possessive!

"Okay boss!" Edwin didn't know what to do and just nodded and left the couple alone.

"Can we?" As always, Alex requested for Blessing to nod and immediately, they took off after bordering their car.

PRISON.

A girl was seen shaking like a feeble tree on a broken bed covered by a blanket. She was sweating all over and just by sparing a single stare at her, one could see that she was not in good condition. Her health was deteriorating day by day.

Who would save her? Would she die in here? 

"I-I deserve all of this....cry...I don't deserve to cry! I just have to be patient and wait for my day to die" She murmured in a murmur. She had already given up and her heart was filled with guilt that life didn't mean anything to her anymore.

Gone were the days when she was a princess who everyone feared and worshipped. When everyone couldn't gaze at her directly. Everyone had to bow in front of her. From gress to grass!

Now, she couldn't believe that life had changed to this. She wasn't the same princess whose servants were all over her. Now, she was all alone in prison with her leg rotting day by day. Now she even wished someone could just cut it off than suffer with pain in this hell of a place. But each time she remembered what she did to people back then, she couldn't hide the guilt anymore and just wept endlessly. Unfortunately, no one was here to consult her. She was all alone in this hell of a place.

How she wished her mum was here. How she wished she could hug her now! Her mother! A woman who had been trying to correct her all these years but she couldn't see that in fact, she had thought her mum didn't want to see her happy.

If she listened to her mum back then, would she be in this condition? Now she had realized that she wasn't in love with Alex but she was obsessed with him. Another sad discovery was that she was jealous to see him with another woman and that wasn't love because love was not  jealousy.

But she had discovered it late. Unfortunate for her! 

The girl who was regretting all her crimes was non-other than Jamilah Samir!

"Jamilah are you there?" A voice brought her to the real world.

"W-who is it? I said I don't want to eat that food! It's very dis..."

"I am not here to give you food! I am here to see you!" The person voiced again and this time, her voice was accompanied by a slamming of the door and it banged open.

"Who are you? Blessing? I-is that you? I-I am sorry! Please forgive me or just kill me!" Jamilah couldn't believe her eyes as more tears rushed down her puffy cheeks.  She wiped her eye and stared well at the silhouette of the person to be sure. 

But how was she able to barge in while people who visited her were not allowed to enter?

"I will leave you alone now. You will tell me later if you need any help from me doctor!" A lady who was wearing a police uniform stated making Blessing nod in agreement.

The police warden stomped out of the room as if unable to continue smelling the bad odour that was coming from Jamilah's body.

"It's okay, you don't need to apologize. Anyway, I am not here for that!" Blessing said while trying hard not to be disgusted by the unpleasant smell.

"Does that mean you have forgiven me? I am sorry s-sis!" Jamilah retorted back with hardship because she wasn't used to referring to anyone as a sister.

"Forget about that Jamilah. Can I see your leg now?" Jamilah choked on her saliva.

'What kind of a person are you Blessing? Despite all the things I did to you, you still want to help me?' Jamilah thought as her voice was stuck in her throat that she wasn't able to talk anymore as more tears rushed like water.

"No! Let me be! I don't deserve your care and humanity.  Just let me die! I deserve this!" Jamilah wept like a mad person struggling to hide in her blanket.

"Stop being stubborn Jamilah!" Blessing felt like crying with the situation her sister was in. Even though she hated the girl, she couldn't control herself with the condition she was in.

How could a human smell like this? Blessing was loss for words by just imagining how the girl was managing in this condition.

"No! Please! I will Die with endless guilt if you help me! Just let me die, after all, I will die soon. But please, forgive mum. She needs you..she isn't like me and dad. At least she has a tingle of kindness. And remember, I love you and I am ..."

"Stop this Jamilah! You are not dying yet! I won't allow that!" Blessing chimed in already beside the girl and uncovered hr. After all, Jamilah was weak so she couldn't continue fighting her.

"I-I don't know what I did that is worthy of our treatment!" Jamilah murmured in tears but Blessing was quiet as drops of tears rushed down her eyes with the condition of Jamilah's leg. She couldn't still believe that this girl was her sister, not just a sister but her younger sister.

How she wished she wasn't heartless those years.

She gazed at the girl who had lost one eye and now, she could see the resemblance! Indeed, she was her dear sister just like Sofia and the others. But the difference was that this one was her blood sister!

"I am trying to treat you right away! You can't die my little sis!...cry..please let me treat you" Blessing's emotions always betrayed her.

"Y-you called me sis?" Jamilah was speechless! She was shocked to death which made her heart tremble a little.

Blessing referred to her as her sister! Indeed, she had a golden heart. And by gazing at her, she could see that the words came from deep in her heart.

"Wait!" She ignored her question and stood up and took her tool box which was closer to them and immediately begin the process of treating Jamilah.
