Fateful fate

I got up from the floor immediately and while holding the edge of my wedding gown, I ran out of the mansion to the hospital as fast as I can. The nurses seeing my condition of being helpless and hopeless deprived of seeing my own husband. I was so exhausted and emotional. As I stood behind the door, I prayed for him.

"Doc, please I would like to see my princess before I leave since I have no hope Left"

"Okay sir. Ma'am please your husband wants to see you. But please hurry up because what I have done is illegal and I might be in trouble if somebody finds out"

He pleeded with the doctor and he accepted. The doctor stared at me with pity. He wished he would tell me the truth but he was scared that I might do something bad to myself.

"Thank you so much doctor. Thank you"

I ran hatefully and knelt beside his bed and sobbed bitterly while sniffing my nose.

"Baby, What happened to you. it's all my fault! I shouldn't have forced you when you told me you don't feel like going. Now see what has happened!"

As I continued to cry the harder, Max tried telling me something but he could only speak air.

"Oh God! You can't even say my princess! I shouldn't have accepted to marry you Max. I told you not to because I didn't want to bring you bad luck. I am so unfortunate! What type of fate is this! Anybody who gets or tries getting closer to me is being affected. Why!!!"

I heard the door flinched. It was the doctor. "Ma'am please it's time"

"Please let me have five more minutes. please"

He agreed and went away. I turned back to Max and he made a body language that meant he wanted water. As I hurried out of the ward in search of water, I bumped into someone. It was a lawyer who was heading towards Max's ward. I did not concentrate too much on him because I needed the water. He sat beside him and handed over a pen as he ordered. His hand shaked rapidly. It was a tedious work his condition. He tried drawing the lawyer's attention but failed, when he finally heard the sound of the pen. He turned to look and Max's hand was stretched towards that angle.

I rushed inside with a glass of water.

"Baby, please the water you sent for is here"

I said as I placed it on the table and tried raising his head slightly carefully to drink the water. Then I saw the lawyer also staring at me with pity eyes.

"Baby you send me and I'm back with it. please try lifting your body small. please"

I continued talking but they were all in vein and I couldn't understand anything because before I would leave he could move his body small, so how come all of a sudden...

"Baby just open your eyes and drink the water. Don't be playing such pranks, they are expensive. Now come on Open your mouth"

I said with tears in my eyes trying not to believe my eyes were telling me something true.

As he laid straight on the bed with eyes closed, his whole body was running cold. I ran to hold the collar of the lawyer's shirt.

"What did you do to him! What did you do to my husband! Answer me! Do you want me to call the police?"

"Ma'am please let go of me. I have no idea of what's going on here. I am his personal lawyer and he just called me here to get some some documents done. Just as he finished signing I heard the pen fell on the floor and you entered. I am sorry but I have to leave"

He walked away and I remained speechless as I stared at Max's body.

"Sorry ma'am I forgot to give you this. We have a copy with us in our office Incase of any confusion or misunderstanding"

I collected the them and threw them across the room.

"How could you do this to me Max! You came into my life only to leave me like this? How could you baby! You promised to be the best dad ever. What about that one!"

I walked closer and took his hand and placed it on my belly.

"What about our future Max? How I'm I going to cater for him alone?"

I cried bitterly.
