BAD BOY'S CRAVING - CHAPTER 39&40
Dove came out from Jayden’s company and saw Vincent waiting for her outside, and he was dressed so epically.
“Vinny!”
Vincent smiled and walked up to her.
“What brings you here?”
“I came to pick you up, I couldn’t go in cuz I didn’t have an entering card”
“I thought you were Jayden’s best friend?”
“We keep our business personal, Dovey. But why are you coming out now, it’s late”
Dove sighs. “I work as an intern here, Vinny. So I was told to tidy up the use up materials before leaving”
“Who the heck gave you such instruction? You’re an intern not a cleaner. They are going to hear from me” Vinny said, trying to enter the building, but Dove held him.
“Don’t tell you’re going to trespass? You don’t have an entry card”
“I don’t care. I never told Jayden to make you an errand girl for his stupid writers. Name the person that ask you to tidy up the use up materials, and I will throw him or her inside a pit”
Dove looked at Vincent and started laughing.
“What’s funny? I’m dead serious, who was the moron that assigned you to tidy up the use up materials?”
“You think I am going to tell you? I am an intern here, Vinny”
“But that’s why cleaners exist in companies like this, right? Just because you’re an intern doesn’t mean they should take advantage of you. Jayden will surely get it from me”
Dove smiled and hugged him.
“I am fine, Vinny. The work I did is nothing compared to the ones I do at my sugar plantation. It wasn’t difficult, so you don’t have to make a big deal out of it”
Vincent broke the hug and cupped her face. “If it’s get too hard, don’t hesitate to tell me, okay”
“Fine I’ll”
“So that I’d burn that mother-f-__-ker for giving you a hard time”
“You’re joking, right?”
“I am serious”
“Then I am not telling you anything. Why would you burn someone alive?”
Vincent smiled. “I was just joking. Have you eaten?”
“Yes I have” Dove stomach crumbles, and she holds her stomach feeling embarrassed.
“I don’t think your stomach agrees with your lie” He smiled.
“Shut up,” Dove said, and he chuckled.
“Let’s go, I will prepare a nice meal for you”
“Why stress yourself when you can just buy me food from the roadside?”
“Eww! Roadside? Never!”
“It’s not that bad you know”
“I am a very hygienic person. I hardly eat food prepared by big restaurants, talk more about roadside food, eww. I prefer homemade meal, it’s the safest food”
Dove chuckled. “I guess you’re saying that because you can cook, right?”
“More reason why I attended a cooking class. My place or my Auntie’s?”
“Hmmm, your place. I will watch you cook, let’s see how hygienic you can be” Dove said.
Vincent laughs.
“You’re going to see for yourself. Let’s go” He smiled at her.
Dove returned the smile, accepting his hand, and they both walked towards his car.
She was about to enter the car, when her phone began to ring.
“Wait a second, Vinny” She took her phone from her bag, and saw that it was her dad.
“Hello dad” She smiled.
“This is one of his colleagues”
“Colleagues? Why are you with my dad’s phone?” Dove asked.
“He is currently at the hospital. He was shot”
“My dad was shot!!”
******
•HOSPITAL•
Dove quickly ran inside the hospital, crying.
“Where is my dad? What happened to him?” She asked, crying, while Vincent was trying to console her.
“What is your dad’s name?” The consultant nurse asked.
“Jacob Bryant! Where is he?”
The consultant nurse checked her computer and said. “He is current in coma”
“Coma?” Dove muttered.
She almost lost her balance, but Vincent held her, and she looked at Vincent with watery eyes.
“Vinny, my dad is in a coma. Who on earth shot my dad? Vinny, my dad!” She cried endlessly.
“He’s going to be fine, Dovey” He hugged her
***
Tears kept falling from Dove’s eyes as she entered the coma room where her dad was admitted.
Vincent was waiting for her at the lobby
*The bullet pierced inside his heart, and right now he is in a critical condition. He has a 50/50 chance of survival. Get ready in case the worse happens*
The voice of the doctor echoes in her ear.
Dove moved closer to her unconscious dad, and the beeping sound of the monitor made her cry.
“Dad!” She cries.
“I don’t want to lose your dad, so no matter how hard it is, please fight for your life. It took years before I was able to get over mom’s death, don’t leave me too I won’t be able to take it. Dad!” She cries.
***
•LOBBY•
Vincent sat down on the chair, patiently waiting for Dove to come out from the coma room.
He’d have gone in with her, but Dove insisted on going alone.
In his face lies a lot of worries, because he knew Dove would be crying there.
He was still in the world of worries, when Dove approached him.
She was walking like she had no strength in her, and her tears didn’t hesitate to fall down from her eyes.
“Dovey” He rushed to her and hugged her.
“Don’t worry, Dovey. Your dad is going to be fine”
Dove said nothing, neither did she hug him back. Her head rested on his chest, with her eyes producing non stop tears.
“Dove” One of her colleagues called her name.
He knows Dove because he is the closest to Jacob at the station.
Fortunately for him, he only got shot in the arm during the bullet exchange.
“What happened to my dad? Why was he shot?” Dove asked in a crying voice.
“We went to the mall because it was being attacked by small robbers. Unfortunately, an exchange of gunfire occurred. I didn’t really know what happened. The lights inside the mall blackout, and when the lights were switched on, I found your dad lying unconscious on the ground. He was shot by one of the robbers”
Dove cries.
“Were you able to identify these robbers?” Vincent asked.
“No they were all putting on huge masks, and if you asked me, I’d say they are ski||ed robbers”
Dove began crying, loudly.
“I am sorry this has to happen to your dad, Dove, but the police won’t stop until these heartless robbers are caught. Let’s just hope Jacob survives”
“Vinny!” She cries like a baby, and Vincent hugs her again.
“Everything will be fine” He pats her.
Izzy, Jovita, Angel and Dora approach them.
Vincent told them about what happened to Jacob.
“Where’s my dad? What happened to him?” Dora asked.
“He is in coma” Vincent answered, still petting Dove, who was still in coma”
“Coma!!! Why coma of all places?!” Dora exclaimed as her eyes began shedding tears.

•BLACK BLOOD GROUP•
Niko groans in pain as Zoey helps him remove the bullet in his stomach.
“Sorry”
“Any news about Dove’s dad?” Niko asked in between pain.
“I secretly went to the hospital, and I found out that he is in coma”
“How is Dove taking the situation?”
“She was crying when I saw her, she was with Vincent”
Niko nods his head, sniffling.
Landon and Diego entered the room, and they bowed to them.
“What were you thinking, Niko? We did have been caught if…”
“I am sorry, Don,” Niko apologized.
“Were we able to get the money?” Diego asked, while Landon looked at Zoey lustfully.
Zoey hid behind Charming.
Charming looked at Landon before talking. “We couldn’t get all the money because the police invaded, but we were able to get a reasonable amount of money”
“That’s good to know” Diego turned to leave, but Niko stopped him.
“Don”
“What do you want?”
Niko managed to stand to his feet.
“I want to leave”
“Leave as in how?” Landon asked.
“I don’t want to be part of this robbery gang anymore. I want to quit”
“Why? Is it because you got shot or is it because…”
“I wrong someone. Because of me she is in pain right now, I can’t look her in the eyes anymore, so I want to quit” Niko said with tears.
Diego and Landon looked at each other and began to laugh, making Niko, Charming and Zoey wonder why they were laughing.
“You want to quit?” Landon asked.
“Yes boss”
“That will be impossible, Niko. Once you’re in, there’s no way out. It’s more like a cult group where you can’t walk in and leave anytime you choose to. You’re going to remain a part of this robbery gang for life, and if you dare try to outsmart me by running away, I will come for your loved ones, especially the girl you love” Diego said.
“Don…”
Niko was cut short by a kick from Diego. He kicked him in his stomach.
Niko fell to the ground, bleeding from his stomach, blood came out from his mouth as well.
“Niko!” Charming and Zoey called his name.
“No one has the right to leave this group until I say so, understood!”
“Yes Don” They answered.
“Bloody fools!” Diego leaves the room, while Landon smirks, before leaving as well.
Charming and Zoey rushed to Niko who was still on the floor in pain.
“Are you alright?” They asked.
Niko only cried.

•A MOTEL•
Inside a room, Piper’s Mõ@?s could be heard as she was being f-__-ked by a man.
“Oh yeah! I love you”
“Gimme some more, baby”
“Oh d@mn, you’re so good”
“Gawd!”
She Mõ@?s crazily as she had a rough segz with the man who was giving her doggy.
His name is Jasper, Piper’s second boyfriend.
They stopped f-__-king after so many rounds and they both sat on the bed to catch their breath from the rough segz they just had.
“Did you bring it?” Jasper asked.
“Yes I did” Piper dipped her hand in her bag and brought the money.
“Thanks, babe” He kissed her.
“What about that Charon?”
Piper scoffed. “That fool? We are having issues”
“Did he refuse to get you the private jet for our vacation?”
“Yes he did, can you imagine that fool? Here I was thinking he’d get me the private jet, but he told me right to the face that he wasn’t going to buy the jet for me”
“Why is he reluctant to buy the jet? I thought he loves you”
“That fool loves me more than his own life”
“Since he can’t buy you a jet, then tell him you need another car, a Bugatti Centodieci car”
“What about the other car? I had to lie to Charon that I needed the car to attend a Met Gala party. He’d be shock
when he finds out that I don’t have any celebrity friend”
“C’mom, I have been riding that car for three weeks now, I need to make a change of car. I’m sure you can come up with something to tell Charon, right?”
“Of course. We are having issues right now, but I am going to talk to him, so he can foolishly get me the Bugatti Centodieci car”
“That’s my baby” Jasper said and began sucking her B-__-bs.
“Jasper” She Mõ@?s.

•NEXT DAY, HOSPITAL•
“You have been like this since yesterday, Dovey. You have to stop crying and eat something” Vincent.
“I have no appetite for food, Vinny. Food can’t pass down my throat knowing that my dad is fighting for his life inside the coma room”
“Have faith, Dovey. I am sure your dad is going to fight for his life. He loves you and Dora so much, and he won’t leave the both of you”
Dove sniffles, without saying a word, Vincent looked at her with pity eyes.
His phone rang and it was a call from his grandpa.
“I will back, let me have a word with my grandpa”
Dove said nothing.
Vincent pats her and left.
Niko enters the hospital after Vincent leaves, and he sees Dove sitting on the chair with a sad look on her face.
He felt guilty.
“Dove,” He called her.
Dove raises her head up and sees Niko standing a little bit far from her.
“Niko” She rushed to him and hugged him.
“Niko, my dad was shot!” She cries painfully while hugging him.
Niko felt more guilty, so he broke the hug.
He cleaned her tears and said. “Can we talk?”
Dove looked at him with a wet face and wet eyes.
***
“What do you want to talk about Niko?” Dove asked, they were outside the hospital.
Niko looked at her and said, “Let’s break up”
More tears fell down from Dove’s eyes.
“What are you saying Niko?”
“You don’t deserve someone like me. I am not what you think I am, Dove, so let’s put this relationship to an end. You are free now, so you can date someone who deserves you” Niko said.
Though he had no tears in his eyes, his heart was in pain.
“Stop saying trash, Niko. I know we’re having problems in our relationship but that doesn’t mean we should end it. This is a time I need you, please don’t break up with me” Dove said crying.
“I have already made up my mind to end things with you. I only came here to tell you it is over between us. I don’t want to see your face, and I don’t want to know if you exist anymore”
“Stop! Your words hurt!!!”
“I don’t care, I am sure you’d get over me after a few days. This is where our path ends, Dove. We’re no longer together”
He walked closer to her, and took off the key necklace he gave to her.
Dove just watched him in tears.
He took off the heart shaped padlock necklace he was wearing as well.
“You no longer own the key to my heart anymore, and you have no place in my heart either. Let’s forget about each other, have a nice life with whoever you chose to date” Niko said, and walk away.
Dove just stood like a statue, watching Niko walk away from her.
Memories of the wonderful and happy moments she had with Niko came running through her head in a flash.
It’s all over now!
Everything they shared, the good and wonderful moments are all over!
Thinking about that, Dove fell to the ground and began to cry.
“Niko!” She cries, heartbreakingly.
