197 Taking his wife back
Gabriel couldn't eat. All he did was to drink on his flight until he fall asleep. But everytime he close his eyes all he see was Sabrina in a bad situation. Its their wedding anniversary tomorrow and it will be extended when they reach US.
He was restless as he told his driver to drive him to EPUA's facility in Virginia. They were outside the facility and he gave his ID to them. They check him and then one of them got a call.
"Sorry Sir. We can't let you in."
"Is that, Mr. Ezekiel Mondragon?" He asked. They didn't say anything at all. He receive a message from Enzo that Sabrina is inside."I am here to take my wife. Sabrina Mondragon-Alvarez Lawson." He show him her picture.
"Please go back when you have a reference person inside."
"I do have a reference."
Then they got a call and hesitated for a while. Gabriel stayed outside for more than thirty minutes trying to get in. Then Ezekiel came out with his men.
"Why are you hiding my wife, Mr. Mondragon?" Gabriel asked.
"Sabrina is fine. You don't have to see her."
"But I have a right to see her because she's my wife. Or you want me to file charges on you? What are you hiding?" Gabriel try to remain calm.
"I am her grandfather—"
"You are her grandfather from her mother's side. I do not care who you are but I am her legal guardian now that she's married to me."
Ezekiel hesitated for a while. Then he receive a call from Ethan. Ethan is taking on the other line. He want to cover up everything. Then there's Gabriel who is good at finding things out. He exhales.
"Let them in."
Gabriel was walking briskly as they were led to a VVIP suit. He entered the room and he stop. The woman lying on the bed lifelessly with a bandage on her head and neck brace, pale and has lots of apparatus on her body was his wife. It felt like half of him nearly dies.
"Brina..." He strode fast toward her and took her hand."Hey, baby."
"She doesn't want to wake up." Ezekiel said."But she's fine."
"She's fine?" Gabriel gritted and face Ezekiel."If I find out that this was your doing—I will never think twice of killing you even if she's your blood."
Ezekiel remain calm as he exhales and went to the sofa and sat there.
"Sabrina was ambushed after she left the villa." He said."We are still hunting down those men until now."
"What are you hiding?" Gabriel suddenly asked. Ezekiel remain calm so Gabriel wouldn't read anything at all from him. He stopped himself from glancing to the other room where Anastasia is hiding.
Gabriel caress his wife's face and kisses her forehead gently.
"I am going to talk to her doctor."
"She's safe here."
"She's not safe anywhere with you." He said."I don't trust you. I don't trust anyone for the safety of my wife." A nurse came up."Please call her doctor." She nods and left. Soon the doctor came."What's her condition?"
"She's healthy and according to her head CT scan there's no clotting. Can we talk aboutthis in my office?"
"No." He said. The doctor nodded and told his nurse to get his tablet. He then show to Gabriel Sabrina's condition.
After that, he call his men and Tony to contact great doctors for Sabrina. Tony studied medicine but haven't had his thesis because he has responsibilities on the family business. So Tony knows a lot of doctors and physicians.
Gabriel stay for a while as he keep talking to her. Ezekiel gave him the ziplock that contains her rings and smart watch.
Ezekiel left. Gabriel got out to talk to his men to prepare everything he requested. His private jet. A doctor and a nurse. He turn back and stop seeing a woman in black scarf and big shades coming out from the room. She was tall but not that tall. Ezekiel's guards cover her as they take her away. Gabriel's curiosity stirs. Who is that woman?
He was about to follow them but he was called by the doctor and signed the papers for her transfer. He didn't waste time and brought her to the facility that he settled in the Philippines. It was complete with apparatus that she needed and Samantha was there to assist him.
The room was wide, just like a Queen's room. There were flowers and everything that Sabrina would need. She wasn't woken up yet though its been four days and their supposedly honeymoon was cancel. Gabriel would sponge bath her gently.
"I'm going to our house. Wait for me here." He said and kisses her forehead.
He went to their villa and pack up few of his clothes and other stuff that he needed. He stop seeing the luggage that she prepared for their getaway. He open her drawer and found a pink square box sitting there. He pull it out and found a note.
"For my loving husband."
It was her surprise. He open it and pull out the paper. He saw ten pregnancy test kits inside the box and a card. His heart was racing as he quickly open it. His heart melted and breaks at the same time seeing that it was the ultrasound of their baby though it was still an embryo.
He then remember how excited and happy she was the day before she left. She was squealing and in euphoria knowing that she's pregnant. Gabriel loose all of his energy as he sat down on the floor and hold the photo to his chest. He never cries but now, tears flows down from his eyes. He didn't know what to do. Will his baby and wife be able to survive?
He stagger as he took his phone and call Samantha.
"Gabby." Samantha said.
"Sam... can you please check if our baby is still there and alive. Please Sam. I can't loose them."
"Okay. Calm down. I will check them and make sure that they are fine."
"Thank you."
Gabriel stayed there on the floor in that position for an hour. His heart was breaking and he was breaking slowly. It frustrates him. It pains him. His wife didn't want to wake up and she's pregnant. How is he going to live like this? He was growing an empire just for her.
After Gabriel compose himself, he went back to the facility and Samantha was checking her. So she instruct Gabriel on what to do. She need to be massaged every day and she should wake up sooner the better.
For him to focus on his wife, he appointed Tony as the CEO of the company. He hired few to help Tony and even make sure that the company is doing well. Ethan and Enzo came to comfort him and gave him an envelope.
"Uh, Sabrina wanted you to have this." Ethan said."It was supposed to be on your anniversary."
Gabriel open the folder and he crease his brows when he saw his name on it and the Elite Bar being transferred to his name.
"She wanted you to have it." Ethan said."Don't worry Gabby. Sabrina is strong. She will wake up soon."
