Mariana immediately snapped back to reality when she noticed the masked guy hasn’t $h00t yet,his hand started pulling the trigger but almost quickly his phone rang and he stopped,he answered the call while still pointing the gun at Mariana but after dropping the call,he ran into the dark.
Mariana’s heart started racing and began gasping for breath until she became unconscious right on the ground.
Leonard was driving in the street,Ricardo finally answered his call and he sent Leonard Octavia’s home address but suddenly his eyes caught with Mariana’s body on the ground
“f-__-k!!” Leonard’s eyes grew wide and he stopped the car,he didn’t bother parking the car rightly as he opened the door and rushed out of the car
“Rianna!!” He called and fell beside her,he shook her body but it was still
“No….please stay with me….Rianna” His eyes became teary
Suddenly he received a text on his phone,he immediately took his phone and checked
*THERE WON’T BE A NEXT TIME AFTER THIS,SO YOU BETTER GET RID OF HER*
Leonard swallowed and checked Mariana’s pulse,,seems she’s just unconscious,she’s not dead. He wiped his tears and carried her in a bridal way,he took her phone too,some cars are already horning behind his car,he dropped Mariana in the car and quickly entered before driving off.

Octavia was pacing round the room,she kept dialing Mariana’s number but it’s not going through.
“It’s late” She muttered and checked the time,it’s past ten already
“Mariana where are you?? Did she went to Leonard’s place??” She muttered and tried her number again but still the same.
She was looking so worried
She gently sat down on the couch and sighed out
“I want to believe she’s fine right? She’s fine” she mumbled.

LENNOX HILLS HOSPITAL**
Leonard followed the Doctor into his office as inquired
“Please take a seat Mr Briggs” The doctor said and Leonard sat down
“Is she okay?? Why am I here? Please tell me what’s wrong” Leonard said worriedly
“Is she your girlfriend??” The doctor asked
Leonard shrugged before nodding
” I think she’s been skipping her pills lately” the Doctor said and Leonard looked confused
“Pills? What pills?” He asked
“You don’t know she’s on pills?” The doctor asked
“Of course not,is she sick? I have no idea…..”
“She’s got a heart disease Mr Briggs….”
“What?” Leonard’s eye grew wide
“It’s a heart disease called Arrhythmia,it’s really dangerous……”
“But why is she on pills? Is there no solution for it?” Leonard asked
“Of course a surgery can be done but I think she’s not in the stage for surgery yet” The doctor replied and Leonard sighed
“Why did she kept such thing to herself??” He muttered and looked up
“Can I see her?” He asked
“Yeah,sure” The doctor smiled and Leonard went out of the office,he could see some nurses peeping through the wall sides,some even took secret pictures of him.
He ignored them and entered Mariana’s ward,she’s not awake yet so he sat down and took her hand
He kissed her hand
“It’s all my fault,I don’t want to involve you in my messed up life,maybe I will really let you go this time” He muttered sadly
Mariana’s hand shook and he immediately looked up
Mariana opened her eyes slowly and he shifted closer
“Rianna” he called
Mariana looked around and sighed out,she sat up on the bed weakly
“Are you okay?” Leonard asked
“How did you find me?” Mariana asked and Leonard kept quiet for a second
“I was driving and…I found you unconscious. Tell me what happened” he requested
“I almost got ki||ed,I don’t know why he changed his mind,and then…..I was too shock to withstand it” she explained briefly and Leonard held her hand
“Why didn’t you tell me about your heart?” He asked
“How did you find out?” Mariana immediately asked
“The doctor told me everything,why would you hide something like that?? Why?…..”
“Just because……..I don’t want pity from anyone…..”
“We are engaged…”
“But you don’t feel anything for me Leonard,you said it yourself,you don’t want to get married and you don’t even want to love anyone” Mariana said
“I’m..I’m sorry” Leonard muttered and Mariana looked at him
“You are not changing your mind??” She asked and he raised his head
“You really,have no feelings for me?? At all??” She asked in a broken voice
‘I don’t want you hurt’ Leonard said inwardly
“I’m sorry” he muttered and Mariana bit her bottom lip before looking away
She bashed her lashes and faced him again
“I can leave now right??” She asked
“I will take you home” Leonard muttered
“No,you don’t have to…”
“It’s late Rianna….”
“And my name is Mariana!!!” She snapped,sign of tears in her eyes
She sniffed
“I’m going to sleep here till daybreak if it’s too late and then I will find my way home,but I don’t want to go with you” She muttered and laid back on the bed
“Rianna…..”
She covered her head with the duvet and he kept quiet,he let out a sigh and got up. He walked out of the ward slowly and Mariana dropped the duvet
‘He seriously feels nothing for me? At all??’ She thought and the feelings alone broke her heart in pieces.
