Chapter 43: Chapter 43

CRAIG'S POV.

I don't know how I made it through the night. I was so worried about her, and somehow, I kept feeling that she almost passed out because she saw me with Sandra. She had told me something like that before, and I feel, somewhere within her, she still feels that I have something to do with Sandra, or even if we didn't, I have started to have feelings for Sandra, and that is the reason I wasn't looking at her, while she gave her excellent and thorough presentation, but she was wrong, I was just looking down, scared that she would see it through me, that I can never be able to get over her, even if she has gotten over me and moved on.

"Boss, she just stepped out with her daughter". I heard my guard say, and I checked the time. She was supposed to be resting, I don't know why she is always so stubborn? I asked myself, while my guard waited for my next command.

"Follow her, and let me know where she is going". I told him, before ending the call, but then, in less than 20 minutes, he called back to tell me that after she dropped her kid at school, she went to the towns health centre. I was pleased that at least, she was going to take care of whatever it is that made her almost pass out, but then, I also, want to support her with the bills, I just don't want her stressing, I want to do everything for her, only if she will let me, but she just wouldn't. If she finds out about the little I have done, she would probably be very angry with me. I told my guard to let me know when she gets out of the hospital, but an hour later, he hadn't called back, and that was when I became very worried. The doctor is supposed to just attend to her, so she could go back and rest. Did he admit her? I couldn't wrap my fingers around why I was so worried, but I was just very worried for her, so I called my guard again, to pretend and get in, I wanted to know if she was taking treatment, or they were not attending to her, but when he called me back, he said, he thinks she is admitted because she is laying on the bed and taking drip. I became very worried, and without thinking twice, I got into my car. I would have to take Jade's advise, else, I will run mad, if she is going to get mad at me, let her get mad at me, but what I know is that, I am going to see her today and confront her. I am going to tell her about my feelings and I might compel her to be with me. Staying away from her, is already killing me, it's been gone for too long already.

Paul was ever ready to drive me, and he drives according to my mood, I told him to fly to where she is, and he drove really fast, breaking all the road safety rules and regulations. I soon caught up with my guard, who told me she was still in there, I couldn't hold it, I had to walk in.

No one stopped me, it was a community hospital, and the security was not very tight, so Steve led me in, but as soon as we got to the door, I heard her voice, and I stopped on my track.

"I cannot keep passing out, doctor, so if I have to take three drips to help me, then I have to, where I work, they may fire me soon". She says and I almost walked in, wondering why she should think Jade would fire her.

"Because you are pregnant? the doctor asked rhetorically. Companies don't do that anymore, only a few, if any company asks you to leave because you are pregnant, then they are not serious ". I heard the doctor saying, and I held my heart from breaking into shreds.

She is pregnant, for that guy, oh no, I am too late, she has really moved on.

"I also have to go to my daughter's school, but that will be around noon, I hope I will be done by then? I heard her asking the doctor, but I could not wait to hear the response from the doctor, I just walked away.

She is taking drip, to prevent pregnancy sicknesses, because of her job, she is not even thinking about me.

"How did she even end up with that guy in the first place? I walked slowly to my car, drenched with terror and broken heart, I will have to give up. She really is with the guy now, maybe I have to move on too.

"Damn it! I got furious, kicking the tyres of my car.

"Boss, is everything okay? Steve asked me, and I shook my head.

"You don't have to hang around anymore, you don't have to keep watching her anymore, she have made her choice, you can come back to town with us". I said to him, while Paul just kept staring at me in a pitiful way.

The drive home was slow, which only ended up breaking my heart the more, especially with the slow Celine Dion's music, playing on the stereo.

Goodbye is indeed the saddest word, and now, I am actually saying it to her. I would have loved to fight for her, and what I thought she felt for me, but so far, she seem to feel more for this Maxwell of a guy.

Sandra kept calling me, but I didn't take her call, we were supposed to meet with some foreign investors, but I didn't show up, because of her, but now, I wish I didn't go to the country side, now I wish I didn't love her, and I really wish I could stop loving her, but maybe I am destined to love her, while she wouldn't love me.

The long ride home finally came to an end, and I walked out of the car, and straight into my room, and just for a break, I called Sandra, to reschedule with the foreign investors, who agreed, that we meet in the evening, against the earlier morning plans, as usual, Sandra was super excited to be told to get ready, that she would be going with me. I needed her there, she is one sane person, that understands the business, so having her around, would help me a lot, especially with what just happened to me, right now, I know I wouldn't be able to really attend to anyone.

Hours later, I was with Sandra, and the Indian investors.
