The Devil's Rebirth

CHAPTER 14. Fallen Angel

EMIR'S POV

"What?" I was dumbfounded by his information.

"The securities are chasing them already," he added.

"Take her," I told Henry referring to Ariane,

"Give me the key," I said and Henry handed me the key immediately.

I run towards the car and call the security who is currently chasing Hope.

"Open your GPS," I said when someone picked up the phone.

"Right away sir,"

"Description of the car?" I asked when I started the engine.

"A black SUV Sir,"

"Don't let them get away," I said and started the chase.

Just in a few minutes, I already see the security vehicle and just a few strides I saw the vehicle they're using, I can't see anything, due to the window being tinted in dark black. I also tried dialing Hope's number when suddenly I remembered that I forbid her from using one. I stamped on the steering wheel so hard, feeling frustrated, unbelievably thinking that she can really do this to me, to leave me.

I stomped on the gas so hard as I hardly managed to avoid other vehicles. I can feel my muscles stiffened as I grip the wheels so hard. My nostrils flared as my breath grew thin and ragged. I won't let my angel get away from me.

My chest jumped when suddenly someone pulled a trigger from another car and started shooting in my direction. I bent a little and pulled out my gun inside the compartment. My men started shooting also from behind them which they responded with bullets as well.

I open my window and aim for the vehicle beside me, but I felt uncertain to pull my trigger, afraid that I might hurt Hope inside, and so I aim for their wheels. But just after I shoot their wheels the window opens and reveals Nicolo sitting beside the driver and shoots me. He got my arm but still, it doesn't make me give up my determination to get my wife.

"Hope!" I shouted her name furiously and I saw Nicolo smirked at me before he pulled the window up again.

Again, I tried aiming their wheels and luckily I succeeded, but it made their vehicle twirl around the road due to the rapid speed and hit other cars until it crashed inside an under-construction building and bumped very hard that caused the vehicle wreck badly.

I quickly halted and got out of the car, then ran towards the place.

"Hope!" I kept on calling her name until I saw the SUV that was turned upside down in the corner of the building. It was being smashed badly and the windows were shattered, fear suddenly rose inside me thinking of my wife.

My men followed me and checked on the front seat while I bent down to find my wife in the back seat of the wrecked car.

"Hope!" I called her again.

"Sir, Mr. Nicolo is not here"

"Find him, I'm sure he hasn't gone far yet," I told them.

Suddenly I felt panic when I saw my wife with her face full of blood dripping because of the shattered glass. I quickly pulled her out with my men to help me, but we stopped pulling her when suddenly she winced in pain.

"Careful! You're hurting her!" I yelled to them, but when I looked at Hope again, my heart skipped with my eyes widened when I saw her spit with blood.

"Hope!?" And her eyes start closing slowly.

"No no no! Darling, open your eyes! Hope!" I cried when my eyes darted at the pointed steel that's being pierced on her abdomen.

"No."

An ambulance arrived in the area and quickly got my wife out of the vehicle. Also, the police are there, as well as the annoying reporters.

"Mr. Villafranco, what can you say about what happened to your wife?" A reporter dared to come close and asked me, I looked at him with fierce eyes and abruptly grabbed the phone he was using for recording and smashed it by throwing it forcefully on the ground. I glared at him and asked him,

"What is it again?" But he only looks at me with a terrified expression, while the others also look the same as him.

Henry takes care of the police and investigators while I follow my wife inside the ambulance, but before I can step in a nurse stopped me.

"Mr. Villafranco, please meet us in the hospital." She said. I looked above her shoulder and saw that someone was pumping on my wife's chest. I felt my world collapse with the sight, suddenly, someone pulled me behind and that made the nurse close the door and the ambulance started getting away.

"Sir, we have to go." I heard Henry said.

At the hospital, I was sitting on a bench in the hallway waiting for someone to tell me what is happening to my wife. Until, Hope's father came and furiously attacked me,

"What did you do to my daughter this time!?" He furiously said, holding my collar while John is pulling him trying to stop him.

I honestly don't know what to do now, I wanted to make my escape again away from anyone, but I can't go without knowing my wife's condition. I look at her father who seems like a savage now about what happened to her daughter, the man who's always treated me well despite all he heard about me, it might be because of the kidney I gave him but he's the only person who treated me that way. Even though my uncle Ruben is treating me nice, I know it's only because of the power I have. But this family doesn't care about my wealth, I feel like a normal person when I'm with them. With them, I become a son, a brother, and a man.

I suddenly felt his grip loosen, as I felt my tears streaming as well. I am so helpless, I don't know what to tell him as I am also seeking an answer to that question. What did I do to Hope, this time?

A doctor came out from the operating room and William ran immediately to him asking about his daughter's condition, while I stayed in my position as I can't move my whole body.

"I'm sorry," I heard the doctor say.

I lifted my head and waited for another word he was going to say.

"The patient is dead,"

And that's it my blood boils as my devil side wants to burst out. I strive quickly and pinned the doctor on the wall holding his coat.

"What did you say!?" I fiercely asked as I felt my breathing become heavy.

"I'm sorry Mr. Villafra," I didn't let him finish his words as I pushed him hard on the floor.

"How dare you say that! Don't you know, if not because of me you will not have a hospital to work to and feed your family! And now you're telling me you're sorry!?" Everything went dark around me as if I'm the only person in this world, and also the useless doctor, I'm deaf and blind with the people stopping me.

"Get up," I ordered him, which he slowly obeyed.

"Get back inside and do your job! Bring me back my wife or I will be the one to kill you!"

"Emir!" Suddenly I heard William called my name which made me stop, but still, the devil inside kept on raging and made me hit the wall continuously. I pushed everyone who tried to stop me until I felt my knuckles go numb. I am gasping for air leaning my forehead on the wall.

"Hope," I whispered her name,

"I can't do this, please come back to me," I mumbled, thinking that she might hear me.

"I want to see my daughter." I heard William calmly say to the doctor and leave. Leaving me alone with Henry and some guards.

"Sir, aren't you going with them?" Henry asked.

"Drive me home," I told him.

"But sir? Aren't you going to see Miss Hope?"

"Didn't you hear me!?" I furiously asked as I gripped his coat and pushed him before I left.

"Sir! You need to see a doctor, your wounds might get an infection. Sir!" He keeps on yelling at me behind but I just ignore him and continue my pace.
