The Billionaires Desires novel Chapter 60

Hillary’s POV

I don’t know how Nathan disappeared from our house, I don’t even know how the house disappeared into thin air also, next I know, I’m lying on a bed hearing Avril's voice as she sobs beside me, crying her heart out.

If this is a dream, it has got to be the worst dream I’ve ever had. It’s not just frustrating, it’s heartbreaking too. It’s a mockery of my feelings, it hurts so bad to be mocked this way. First, it was Nathan, I thought it was real, I thought he is back for me, but he disappeared from my presence, vanishing into thin air. Now it is Avril's turn. I can see her head lying on the bed next to me and I’m hearing her voice as she apologizes for leaving me when I needed her the most. 

I just don’t get but, why would she be apologizing to me for running away from here, she was running to save her life and I understand it perfectly. I would have done the same if I were in her shoes, 

No, I wouldn’t have the same if I were in her shoes, I wouldn’t have left her alone no matter what, but it still doesn’t change the fact that I was never mad at her for leaving. Yes, I was a little upset when she wouldn’t take my calls but that’s all there is to it, I’m not angry with her, I never was and I never will be. She doesn’t have to apologize to me for anything, I hate seeing her this way, it hurts me to see her crying this way, I never want to see her tears. 

“Wake up soon Hills, wake up let us get out of here. I’m not leaving without you, not again. I won’t abandon you again, not while you are pregnant. I’ll take care of you and your baby, you are never alone, my friend.” She muttered softly, making me feel so happy, so loved.

Hold on a minute,

She is asking me to wake up, why the hell is she asking me to wake up, am I sleeping?

I am just realizing that I am back in the dark room. I tried looking around, but I couldn’t see anything, nothing at all. It’s back to that plain darkness once more, it’s back to the way it was before Nathan came in. But I could hear Avril’s voice, I can hear it loud and clear and I’m pretty sure that we are in the same room. I can feel her warmth and smell her perfume, but why can’t I see her, why is she telling me to wake up.  I tried holding her hand a bit firmer, but I couldn’t move my hand, I feel so weak, too weak to make any move. My palm could not even hold hers in a firm grip, I was so exhausted, too exhausted to do anything or move any part of my body. Since I couldn’t move any part of my body, I decided to move my lips and try to tell her that I am not upset with her, not one bit.

“I know Avi, I know you’ll never leave me alone, but what the fuck are you doing here?” I asked her, trying to sound pissed but it came out weak, so weak that I could not even recognize it as my voice.

“Oh my God,

Oh my God,

Guys!!!

Guys!!!

Come over here, Hilly is awake. She is awake. She just spoke to me right now.” She said out loud, calling out to someone. I still couldn’t open my eyes yet, so I have no idea who she is calling out to. I heard some soft footsteps approaching, then I heard a lady's voice as she asks Avril if she is certain that the voice she heard was mine.

“Are you certain that it is her voice you heard, you could be hallucinating you know. Did you hear what she was saying, was she making sense to you?” she asked nonstop. I felt a warm hand on my body, I’m guessing that it is the other lady because her body spray smells different from the body spray. 

“Hillary, can you hear me, if you can, follow the sound of my voice and open your eyes. I need you to give me a sign if you can hear me, you can tell me how you’re feeling, tell me where it hurts, I’m here to help you get better.” 

What have I done?

Nathan, my Nathan… 

Why didn’t I stop that bitch, I let her conclude the burial ceremony of my husband. I let her win, I fucking let that bitch win and it’s all because of my stubbornness. I should have taken my time to work on a perfect plan that I can use to get her exposed, I shouldn’t have rushed into a fight when I wasn’t prepared for it.

I failed him, I failed him completely. I failed to see this coming. I couldn’t do anything when he was pronounced dead, and now, I still couldn’t do anything when he is being buried. I can’t let this to happen, no, no, no, no, I can’t let her get away with this. I can’t let her win, I just can’t. 

I tried to get up from where I was lying down, I have to get going, I have to stop her, I can’t let her win, I just can’t. I made an attempt to stand up from my position and that is when I felt a sharp pain in my arm. It’s Becky, it got to be her. From what I can understand so far, I think she is a nurse and she has been taking care of me. But what I don’t understand is why she is trying to keep me from going after the people responsible for putting me in this hospital. She must have injected me with some drug of some kind, I can feel pain all over my body and it hurts, it hurts so bad. The pain was so immense that I was forced to open my eyes in pain, screaming so loudly.

“What the hell is wrong with her, why is she screaming so much?” Avril asked her, coming to stand in front of me, trying to get me to stay calm. 

“I had administered a mild anesthetic for her, it was helping curb her pains, but her body is rejecting any kind of drug that could hurt her baby. The injection I gave her is just a liquidizer, I administered it to her so it could counter the work of the anesthetic. She is screaming this way because the anesthetic had been liquidized, now she can feel the pains from her injuries and it’s hurting her so badly.” The doctor explained calmly, coming to check my eyes and other parts of my body.

“Miguel, where is Nathan?
