Vivian
I gasped loudly and opened my eyes. I had a nightmare and prayed that it wasn't real, however, when I looked around, I saw that the nightmare could be real. All I remembered was getting kidnapped by Jared and his men. He dropped me in this room with my newborn babies before leaving.
My eyes fell on a worried-looking Maria who quickly smiled at me. "I'm glad you are fine," she said.
"Where are my babies?" I weakly asked, and she moved aside, then I saw my babies sleeping safe and sound in the cribs.
"Oregon," I whispered, hurtfully as tears rushed down my eyes.
The door opened and Nicholas walked in. I flinched because I was afraid but when I saw it was him, I heaved in relief.
"Vivian! I'm glad you are safe," he said, and hugged me, then he faced Maria whose face was down.
"Maria?" He called.
"Yes?" She answered softly, as she carried her eyes to him.
"Thanks for protecting and taking care of her," he said.
"Why should you be thankful? I simply did it for a family," she said, with a smile, and I smiled as well.
"Nicholas?" I called in a whisper, and he brought his ear closer to my lips.
"What of my brother, Damien?" I asked.
"He is alright. Should I go and call him for you?" He asked, trying to leave but I held his arm quickly.
"It's alright. What about my mate? Where is Oregon right now?" I asked, my eyes flickering.
"Vivian…" He whispered, biting his lower lip.
"Just answer me. Where is he? How is he?" I questioned, my voice getting deep.
"I'm sorry, but I don't think I can tell you," he responded, shutting his eyes tightly.
"Talk to me!" I screamed, closing my eyes tightly.
"Take it easy, Vivian. You don't want to wake the twins. Nicholas, I don't think we can hide it away from her. Tell her the truth now," Maria said, as she walked closer to us.
"What is that? Please talk to me but make sure that Oregon is alright and safe," I whispered, as tears slipped down my eyes.
"I'm sorry, Vivian," Nicholas whispered, his eyes down.
"No… No…. No," I cried, shaking my head. "Please tell me it's a lie."
Maria sighed, and faced Nicholas with an angry look on her face. "I think you should tell her the full story? Look at how scared and depressed she is!"
"Huh," I sobbed. "What… What is going on? Can you guys just explain to me properly?"
"Actually, we had a war with Jared and his men," he began. "Even Stephen was part of his plan, quite shocking. Anyways, Jared was killed at the end. Stephen was seriously wounded by your brother, Damien, and Oregon… Hmm, He's also seriously injured. It was Jared who did that to him. As we speak now, Oregon might be in danger. He might die."
"No, he won't. Take me to him now!" I said, and jumped down.
"Take it easy, okay? You are still weak," Maria said softly, and I just nodded my head.
