The Tycoon’s Remorse Pursuing His Unforgettable Bride

Her reality.

(ARIELLE’S POV)

I groaned and tried to sit up on the bed, while glancing around murroundings. I was in a hospital room, but I had no idea how I got there. I tried to recall, but my mind was a blur.

That was when I saw her, Ashley. She was sitting next to me, her head resting on the bed.

“Ashley?” I croaked, my voice dry.

She looked up, and quickly grabbed my hand, tears brimming in her eyes. “Oh goodness, you’re awake. Are you alright?”

I nodded. “What happened? Where am I?”

“You’re in the hospital. I should get the doctor,” Ashley said and rose to her feet.

“Hospital?” I tried to remember, but everything was fuzzy. And then it struck me; my baby! I remembered the accident, bleeding, and my hands flew to my stomach.

“My baby,” I whispered, panic setting in.

Ashley looked away, and I cast her a quizzical look. “Say something. Is my baby alright?”

Ashley winced, still not meeting my gaze, but I could see the tears at the corner of her eyes. “I’m sorry.” she sniffed.

“We lost the baby

I paused, and looked at Ashley like she had developed two heads. For a moment, I was in denial, my brain refusing to digest and accept the news.

But the tears now flowing down Ashley’s eyes told me this was no dream. This was reality, my reality.

“No!” I screamed and tugged at the intravenous infusion on my hand, and it came off, blood gushing out.

“Oh my God!” Ashley yelled in horror. “Stop it, Arielle.”

But I was

beyond that point. I gave off another scream, pulling at my hair.

“I’ll go get the doctor now,” Ashley said and hurried off.

She returned a few minutes later with a doctor. By now, I was feeling dizzy, and in pain, but it was nothing compared to the pain in my heart.

“This is bad,” the doctor exclaimed, when he saw the blood stained bedsheet.

“Hurry, hold her and let’s sedate her,” he ordered the two nurses who rushed in with him,

“No, I want my baby.” I yelled, thrashing on the bed.

The nurses ignored me and held me down. I was too feeble to put up a fight, and so I watched helplessly as the doctor injected me.

Her reality

Almost immediately, I became more dizzy, and as I closed my eyes, all I kept muttering was “my baby.”

came to, hours later, and Ashley was still seated beside me, concern on her face.

“You’re awake,” she said softly.

I nodded, my throat dry and Itchy. “Water,” I whispered.

Ashley hurriedly got up and fetched a bottle of water from the fridge in the corner of the room. She handed it to me, and I drank it all in one gulp.

Ashley took the empty bottle and sat back down beside me. “How’re you feeling?”

“Empty.”

I watched Ashley’s face contort in pain, and she grabbed my hand, giving it a gentle squeeze.

We sat in silence for a moment, the beeping machines In the room, the only sound in the room.

“What time is it?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

“8 am,” Ashley replied.

“Did you go home at all?” I asked, my eyes fixed on hers.

Ashley nodded, “I only left to take a bath and change clothes.”

“Thank you,” I whispered again, and it came from the deepest part of my heart.

Ashley nodded, and silence descended again.

“Have you seen Jared? I blurted, before I could stop myself.
