The Wretched Mistress - Chapter 121

In the midst of Chaos. Time went fast. She didn’t know how long she had been out nor what happened to her.

A lot of people visited her and yet no one could pull her out from her darkness. Yes, it was extremely dark. April sat silently in the corner of her consciousness. She was alone, cold and tired. She had called out everyone she could think of and yet no one answers. It was as if, no one could get to her and no one could help her.

She didn’t even know that her family was worried to death to see her like this. Even Alex, Colm and Sky were there, still, she didn’t recognize anyone. Her body would instantly flinch when someone touches her. Her mind would immediately throw a fit or rage out of nowhere and without reason. It was as if she was living but not alive. Most of the time, she just stares straight. Not talk nor have any sort of emotions. They even had to force her to eat and most of the time, it wasn’t a good sight to see. April had lost quite a lot of weight. She now weighs about 90 lbs. One could see her bones protruding. They tried not to let Sky see as much and only when she doesn’t throw a fit.

Inside her though, April wants to give up. She was scared and helpless. It was like she was caged in by her ownself, like self-defense. Her mind would rather lock her in than letting her face reality. Was there such a thing? Who knows? They said that the brain is the most mysterious part of the human body. Until now, doctors and scientists don’t fully understand how the mind works. If they could, then people wouldn’t only be able to use 10% of our brains.

Cefei was helpless too. He thought that by bringing her family, she would instantly come back to herself. Yet, two months had passed and no improvements happened. All kinds of doctors were brought in to check on her and to see how to bring her back. Even with the Black Dragon Club, the Hawthorne’s, the Smith’s and the Lewis’ combined power; they were still no progress.

Most doctors could only sigh and be puzzled. The only hope they had was the progress of the drug that they studied from her blood. All the men knew about April’s condition. Theo had recounted everything and made them understand how delicate the situation was. Without the Black Dragon Club to support them, April’s life would be endangered. Although the Black Dragon Club was very accommodating, they knew that they were being watched.

The facility where April was in a very remote place. The first time Theo came here, he almost thought that someone was playing a joke with him. To put it bluntly, it was a small villa located in the north UK. The outside doesn’t look outstanding at all but when he got inside, it was mostly filled with all sorts of medical things. There was even a room for doing a chemical lab test.

Their arrangement is they could only visit her two people at a time on any given day. This would help avoid attracting unwanted attention. As much as everyone hates this sort of arrangement, without the Black Dragon Club’s help, they would still be in the dark looking for April.

With Theo’s great way of explaining things, everyone had learned that the Black Dragon Club had been helping them in the shadows. Keeping and hiding April like this was the best situation at the moment. Although it was hateful, they could do nothing about it.

Alex and Colm would constantly take turns on visiting her. For Alex, he had been extremely guilty and hating himself. For Colm, he too was feeling guilty and hating himself for letting April go to England in the first place. These two men seem to be competing in who was the guiltiest party. Even then, they could only try their best. Every time they came in to visit, the pain inside their chest hurts so bad. The fact that their most cherished person no longer recognized them, was like burning them to death. Slowly but surely.

Studying the drugs that were administered to her would take a very long time. Especially that she had been taking medicine from a very young age. Everyone was helpless and agitated. They all felt that time was ticking. What happens when the timer ends, they didn’t want to know.

Francesca gritted her teeth. So the bitch still lives! She thought. Although she was hiding and no one seems to be paying attention to her now, she was still extremely cautious.

“That bastard didn’t do as what he promised! He still let this bitch come back to my husband!” Francesca clenched her fist.

Beverly studied her Boss but said nothing. She was on the same boat as her boss. She could only wait for instructions, she wasn’t the type to voice out advice nor add fuel to the fire. She was an obedient Secretary.

“There’s only one way to handle that bitch! I have to do it myself! Let’s see if she could escape her upcoming death this time! Hahahahah! ” Francesca laughed and laughed out loud. She had seemed lost her mind as well. She had lost everything, it was only right to take revenge on that white lotus bitch! This is how Francesca’s brain works. In her eyes, she was right. She was the legal wife! She deserves everything! Alex ought to stay with her and she’ll make sure to let Alex see it!

Only, when would this kind of nightmare stop? Until blood gets spilled out? Until April dies or she dies? Time was ticking. Who’s end shall come first?

Somewhere far, there was a man sulking. Watching the stars in the middle of the ocean.

“Even if we aren’t fated together. I’m still thankful for being able to meet you and was able to share a moment with you. If reincarnation exists. I hope in your next life, I would be able to meet with you first and be your husband in that lifetime.”

Jackson sighed and took a mouthful of liquor. Only by doing so could he numb his aching heart.
