Chapter 67: Chapter 67

Aviena’s POV

“Shut up!” I shouted loudly before kicking the car's door. She laughed loudly at me because of that.

“Alright… I’ll let you do whatever you want to save your daughter but don’t forget that I’m just around… to the point that you’ll wish that you never really came back…” she said while grinning at me.

“I can easily do it if I want to. I'll make your daughter live as you live your life. You live your life in fucking trauma, right? I'll fucking make your daughter's life miserable,” she said to me while smirking.

I was mad that I want to fucking hurt her. How can she say that when she knows how I live my life in fear? I can't believe that she became my sister.

"Try it then," she said when she saw that I was going to slap her.

“Try it!” she shouted loudly before laughing. I received a sharp slap from her when she slapped me with her handgun. I don't know how I'll get it but I tried to get it from her. She's going to keep on pointing it out to me.

"Go while I'm still being nice to you," she said to me with a wide grin. She tried to point the gun at me as I opened the door.

She was just smirking as if she likes it that way. She likes to see that I was suffering too. I couldn’t help but be stunned when she fired the gun. I was hit in the arm but I didn’t care about it at all. I was so scared. For my daughter. I only know one thing. As much as I can think of, there’s only one thing I want to do. To leave here. To keep my daughter away from her.

She's just laughing while she's playing with the gun. Firing as she tried to start the cab's engine.

“See you again, Aviena. I hope I can meet my beautiful niece,” she said with a wide smile at me.

I can't just believe it at all. I just ran away from there.

Then I just looked at my cellphone. I recorded our conversation through Ocean's call. I put my phone on silent.

“Did you record it too?” I was shaking not just with the voice but I feel like I was shaking inside and out. I’m so mad right now.

“What the fucking heck, Aviena? You’re fucking killing me! Damn. I already told Big Brotheryour situation. My security will already go to your place. They already track your phone!” she said.

“Don’t! Just let them be there for my Camillia! Don’t! I’m fine!” I shouted loudly but I can still feel myself trembling so hard.

“Can you book us a flight? We’ll go back to Amsterdam—No—I’ll just find a new place to live in. Anywhere not just here…” I said.

“Aviena, calm down. You’re rushing things. You’re not being yourself.” She tried to calm me down but how could I?

“No! How can I fucking calm down when my daughter is at risk? If you can’t fucking book me a ticket anywhere I’ll just find another one. I’ll fucking go in your house now.” I know she’s trying her best not to shout at me too but she just can’t.

“Damn it, Aviena! Why don’t you just wait for security to go there? They’ll get you and we’ll talk. All of us—” Before she could say anything. I just put my cell phone away and ride a cab. I can feel myself getting weak because of the gunshot in my arms.

I just said Ocean’s house. I was almost there when a fucking bunch of cars suddenly stop and circled around the taxi I was in. I don’t know anymore. Maybe I’m so ready to die. But I still want to see my baby one last time. I just can’t stop crying anymore.

"Ma'am, Sir River is already outside," the taxi driver said the reason why I suddenly look at him. I stopped when I realized that his face was familiar. He's actually one of River's bodyguards.

I saw River going down in his car with a big step before going to the cab. He made a knock there. The reason why this car suddenly opened.

"You're fucking fine, huh?" he sarcastically said while looking at me. I could also see the anger in his eyes.

"Let's go to the hospital now," he coldly promised me as he watched my appearance. He still looks angry while my eyes are on him.

“Tangina!” He was so mad that it seemed like he could destroy everything now.

“What are you doing? You're causing traffic here. I'll fucking go to Ocean's house. We're going to go to Amsterdam or anywhere… ” I said.

“You think I’ll fucking let you? Let's go to fucking hospital now before I'll fucking kill someone right now. And no fucking ones going anywhere.” I could see the anger on his face before he lifted me towards his car because I didn’t want to get off.

"What? I'm fine! I want to see my daughter! Damn it! If Ocean already told you what happened, I hope you know that your child is also in danger! Big Sister knows Camillia location! If something happened to her, I swear I'll fucking never forgive anyone!” We're both mad right now so we both can't calm down but when River saw me looking so mad his voice gradually soften. He also tried to calm himself down. Seems like he just can't do it earlier.

“The security is tighter in Ocean’s house. I send my team there. I’ll also talk to Papa and Grandpa to send a bunch of their best securities. We already found the device that your fucking sister’s talking about. It was a small device that she tried to put on a bottle keychain we bought on the island,” he was so calm when he tried to explain it to me. It seems like he's trying to hide how mad he is right now.

“Your anxiety pills—Here.” He seem like it was so hard for him to talk.

“Let me see Camillia. I want to see my daughter!” I still can’t help but shout. River suddenly holds my hand.

“Wife… You wouldn't like to let our daughter see you in that state, right?” he asked me. I slowly calm down when I realize that he was right. Just now, I also feel the pain in my arm. I was not even aware of the tears in my eyes. Tears slowly formed in my eyes before I finally burst into tears.

I was just crying the whole ride we went to the hospital. I can't even look at River now. He just carry me when we got there. The shot is not that deep but when I was tired and crying, the reason why I probably lost consciousness.

I just woke up and see that I was already in a hospital room. It seems like a VIP one. I saw River in front of the door talking with one of his bodyguards.

"Can you call them, Cijan?" I heard River ask the bodyguard who was in the taxi earlier.

"She's awake now," the bodyguard said to River. The reason why River dismissed their talk now. He approached me with a look of concern on his face now. Anger can still be seen on his face but I know that he's trying his best to compose himself.

"Where's Camillia?" I asked him.

“She’s still in Ocean’s house. The security is already tight now,” he told me.

“Can I see her?” I asked again. I was calmer now.

"We will."

“No. I just want to see if she's doing fine in Ocean's house. Can you call Ocean? I want to see my daughter… ” I said, so he nodded at me. I have calmed down a bit and I realize how fast I am with my decisions earlier. I just bit my lip so hard because I also won’t be able to face the child in this situation.

"Is she awake now, Kuya?" Ocean's concerned voice is the one I heard when River called her.

“She is. She wants to see Camillia. Can you let her say hi to her mom?” River asked. Just then River handed the cell phone to me.

I didn't open my cam. I immediately saw my daughter smiling in front of the phone.

“Hello, Mom? Why aren't you opening your camera?” she asked me. There was also a look of wondering on her face before he looked at the cell phone in curiosity. I tried my best to compose myself. I didn't open my camera because I know that I won't be able to hold my tears. I didn't realize I was crying. There isn't any sound. River was just looking at me but he just suddenly averted his gaze. I tried to clear my throat before talking to my daughter.

“Hmm, I can’t right now. I was going to shower now. Are you enjoying your stay there?” I asked her. Trying to hold myself back. I feel like anytime I’m going to make a sound.

“Yes, Mama! Auntie said that you and Papa will be having a trip together?” she asked.

“Enjoy your trip, Mama. Can you tell Papa that I want a baby bro? Can he give me that after your trip?” she asked. The reason why I can’t help but shake my head and smile. But I still can’t help my tears.

“I’m sorry…” I said softly. I want to tell her how sorry I am.

“It’s completely fine, Mama. I understand. You also need a trip together with Papa. You deserve it! I’m also enjoying my stay here in Auntie Ocean house so don’t worry…” she said, smiling at me.

How can this innocent child in stake right now? I don't like how her life is in danger just because of me. I don't want her life to be messy. I still want to see that bright smile of hers.

"I love you…" I said weakly.

"I love you too, Mama…" she said with a wide smile while looking at the camera. She waved her hands to me until the call just ended. I couldn’t hold back the tears from my eyes when we finished talking. I couldn't even stop myself from crying. I was just crying when River give me a hug. He just let me cry on his shoulder and I let him. I pushed him gently so I could immediately meet his blue eyes. He looks so worried while looking at me right now.

"I just want to see Camillia safe… I don't want our daughter to live in pain, River…" I said, still shaking from tears.

"We will keep her safe… I promise you…" he whispered kissing me on the forehead.

“Please, help us…”
