"No, please don't leave me, Angel eyes. Fight for me and our baby"- Enrique
ENRIQUE's POV
Upon arriving outside, instantly saw Kelly who was standing against the hood of my car. My forehead knitted together when I noticed that she looked way different than the usual chic Kelly I knew. She's wearing a tattered pants, black jacket and sneakers. I've never saw her wearing this kind of get-up. She's wearing a serious look on her face too.
I looked at the Harley near my car and I got amazed because it was the newest model but the company just produced several of its kind which made it difficult to buy by someone who doesn't have a connection; not to mention, a lot of money. Is that hers?
I cleared my throat to get her attention. She snapped her head in my direction.
"Nice ride" I compliment but the expression on her face didn't change at all.
"You're late" She complained. I looked at my wristwatch and saw that I was already 10 minutes late.
"Sorry about that. S-Something came up" She heaved a sigh and stood up straight.
"Whatever. Anyway, I have something to tell you"
"Can we discuss about it some other time? I really need your help as soon as possible" Her brows creased.
"What's it about?"
"Blake got kidnapped and I need your help in finding your cousin. He is the one who took my wife. You're his cousin. Please tell me where he could be right now" Her jaw flexed.
"Damn! So I am already late! Sh*t!" I was surprised hearing her swear like that. Kelly was never the potty-mouthed girl. People really does change as time goes by.
Then I realized what she just told me.
"What do you mean by that?" She heaved a sigh and stared at me intently. I could see the worry and fear in her eyes.
"I went to Jake's condo because I needed to get something from his unit, but he wasn't there. Even so, I entered because I have a key of my own which he gave me long time ago. But I was so shocked of what I saw inside his unit. I saw a lot of pictures of Blake ever since college. It was all the over his room. Even though I am his cousin, he never allowed me to enter his room but that time, he left his door wide open so I saw everything. I also saw his diary which he left open on his table. It wasn't my intention to read it but I saw Blake's name written on it so I decided to read what's in it which shocked me more. It was full of his plan on how to get Blake from you and it was mentioned there that he was going to kidnap Blake as a last resort"
I was beyond angry of what I've heard from her. My hands formed into tight fists as I imagined killing that b*stard with my bare hands.
"I knew all along that Jake was in love with Blake because I witnessed it since we were in college. But Blake rejected him and told him that all she could offer to him was friendship. Jake accepted it but I guess it's all a ploy. I saw everything that's written in his diary and he's mad, Enrique! He's obsessed and I'm afraid that he would do something bad to Blake!" Tears started forming in her eyes.
"That's not going to happen, Kelly. I know someone who can help us. Now, I want to know if you have any idea where they could be right now" She remained silent for a couple of seconds before her eye widened.
"I think I know where they are!"
"Really? Where?"
"Jake's family owns an island but ever since his mother died, they never went there anymore. That's the only place I can think of right now" Hope rose in my heart as I heard that. I pulled her hand.
"Let's go. We need to go there ASAP"
"Wait. I have my bike with me. Just drive and follow me. We need to get there as soon as possible because I read in Jake's diary that he would take Blake away for good the moment he succeed on kidnapping her" I gritted my teeth but I tried my very best to stay as calm as possible. Now isn't the time to let my emotions overcome my rationale thinking. I need to think straight in order to make clear decisions!
"Wait, I'll just call someone" I said and called Ken and Stephen. Stephen was a childhood friend of mine and now, he's one of the best agents I know who could help us. After calling them, we agreed to meet at the top of Dixon's Enterprises.
"Let's go somewhere first before we go to the island" Kelly just nodded her head.
"Then let's go. We need to make it quick"
"Are you sure you're going to ride that big bike?" I asked her while looking at the Harley. She chuckled.
"What? Don't you believe that I can ride this one?"
"I didn't say that. It's just that, I never thought that someday, the girly and chic Kelly that I used to know would become boyish" she rolled her eyes and wore her helmet.
"Whatever, Quen. Let's go" I couldn't help but smile upon hearing her called me that again.
______♥♥♥_____
When we arrived at the top of Dixon's Enterprises, I saw Ken and Stephen, already waiting for us. The helicopter I asked Ken was already at the helipad.
"Thank you for coming, man. I knew you're busy" I said to Stephen after greeting him and Ken.
"Of course. What are friends for, right? And besides, I knew you'll pay me enough for me to come all the way here" I almost rolled my eyes. The same Stephen. He never changed.
"Whatever. Anyway, I would like to introduce----" I faced on my right side to introduce Kelly to them but she wasn't there anymore. I looked behind me and I saw her at the door. She looked like someone who saw the devil in front of her. Her lips were slightly parted as she stared at us. No, she's staring at....Stephen?
I looked at them alternately and I noticed that Stephen has the same reaction. They remained silent for a couple of seconds and just staring at each other.
"What are you doing here?" Stephen asked Kelly in a low but sharp voice. Kelly remained silent for a couple of seconds before she came closer to us with a defiant expression on her face. Gone was the shock-like expression I saw on her face a while ago.
"It's none of your business but I'll tell you anyway. I'm here because I think I know the place where Jake took Blake" Stephen chuckled sarcastically.
"And how can we make sure that you're not just playing with us and you're not trying to mislead us? If I knew any better, you're Jake's accomplice" Kelly's jaw clenched tightly and I could see the anger in her eyes. I could tell that any moment now, they would explode because of unknown hatred they harbor for each other. So before something bad happens, I stopped them.
"Stop you two. Can you continue with your issue after this? We need to go there and rescue my wife" I said sternly.
"What about the police, boss? Aren't we going to inform them about the lead we have?" Ken suddenly asked.
"I already did a while ago. So let's go" I said.
We were about to board the helicopter when Kelly told us that she would try to call her cousin so that we could confirm if he's really in the island. The island was not that far from here and if we would confirm that they're on that location, we could go there immediately. Luckily, Jake hasn't realized that Kelly already knew that he was the one who kidnapped Blake. He answered.
Kelly used her acting skills and told Jake that she needed his help because someone was sending her death threats and it looked like Jake bought it.
After the call, we tried to trace his location and it was confirmed that he's at their island.
We quickly boarded the helicopter. Approximately 5 minutes before we land, Stephen and Ken brought their guns out but what shocked me most was Kelly had a gun with her too.
"Don't ask me why I have this, Quen, because I won't answer it" I just closed my mouth and remained silent. Ken gave me a gun for protection.
While approaching the place, I instantly saw Blake who was with Jake on the shore.
"Sh*t! I think, they're about to leave. There's a yacht in there" Stephen said. Panicked crept throughout my body. Upon landing, we immediately went out and saw Blake at the top deck of the yacht with Jake who was smirking at us; but when he saw his cousin with us, he became mad.
We tried to ask him to give Blake to us but he didn't oblige. Instead, he made Blake his shield as we pointed our guns to him.
"Let's enter before they sail away" Stephen instructed and we quickly entered the yacht. Two men tried to stop us but Ken volunteered to fight them.
"Go ahead of me. I'll finish these two first" Ken said so we went at the top deck.
Just like a while ago, we tried to negotiate with Jake into letting Blake go but he was so stubborn and was already eaten by his anger. He pointed a gun to Blake's temple which made me almost lose my breath. My body went numb as I felt that intense fear that I've never experience before. I could tell that Blake is in pain and she looked like couldn't take it anymore. She looked pale and would lose consciousness any moment now.
I really wanted to go straight to them and kill Jake if not for the gun he's pointing at Blake's temple.
Then he dared me for a little game he had in mind. I knew he was just playing with me but I just accepted it In order for Blake to be safe. But he suddenly called his other men which we didn't saw a while ago and they all have guns with them. Jake was a handful already, but now, it's more impossible for us to rescue Blake just like that.
"Try surpassing them and let's see if you can catch me and save Blake" I heard Jake said before he quickly pushed Blake off the yacht. I heard the sound of the water when she fell and my body shivered coldly.
I felt like my heart was about to explode because of the loud beating of my heart. Jake smirked at me before he jumped off the yacht. That scene made me almost breathless and I felt like my heart suddenly stopped beating.
I heard Kelly and Stephen shouting for me to go and save Blake but I couldn't move my body.
"Are you going to repeat the same mistake you did more than 5 years ago when Blake almost died because you didn't rescue her?! Go and save her!" Kelly shouted and that made me got out of my trance-like state.
I looked at Kelly's direction and saw a man in front of her who was now unconscious. She fought the man alone and managed to beat him. Then, I looked at me right side and I saw Stephen fighting two men. I was about to run towards the edge of the yacht when a man suddenly appeared right in front of me and was about to punch me when I quickly dodged his attack then gave him an uppercut and then right hook which made him fell on the floor while groaning in pain.
He got up and was about to shot me with his gun when Kelly kicked him.
"Go and save Blake. Let me handle this" Kelly said. I didn't know that she could fight but I didn't have time to ask her about that. I ran towards the edge of the yacht and dove after Blake.
Thankfully, I managed to overcome my trauma because I underwent some rehabilitation in the past few years.
But that feeling came back again a while ago when I saw Blake fell from the yacht but thanks to Kelly, I managed to come back to my senses.
I swam and swam, trying to find Blake but I couldn't find her. I was about to go under the water again when someone suddenly wrapped his arms around my neck tightly and choked me. His other hand pushed my head in the water and I couldn't breathe anymore. I tried to fight him but because of our positions, he has the upper hand.
"I'm going to kill you for stealing Blake from me. Be ready because I'm going to send you to hell" Jake said in an evil tone. I managed to lift my head and breathe.
"You're the one who's going to go to hell, b*stard! I'll kill you first" I spat before I elbowed him with all my force which made his grip on me loosened.
I was about to elbow him again when we heard a sound of a gun. Then the next thing I know, Jake's arms unwrapped around me and the water around us became red as his blood colored it.
"Boss, you need to go and save your wife" Ken said who shot Jake. He pointed behind us and there I saw someone's body which was being swallowed by the water. I heard the sound of a helicopter coming closer but I ignored it.
I swam as fast as I could and dove after Blake.
"No! Please, Angel eyes, hold on!" I told to myself and swam deeper until I got a grip of her. Then I managed to pull her up. I looked around us and noticed that the shore is far away from us. I wanted to cry and I felt hopeless because I couldn't see any surface where I could put Blake and perform CPR.
But then, I heard the sound of the yacht and it's coming to our direction. A couple of seconds later, the yacht stopped in front of us.
I saw Kelly and Stephen at the edge of the back part of the yacht and helped me get Blake into it.
"She's not breathing!" Kelly yelled.
"No, please don't leave me, Angel eyes. Fight for me and our baby" I said in a trembling voice and performed CPR on her. After the first and second tries, she's still not responding. Tears were already falling from my eyes and I was praying so hard and asking God to save her.
"Do it again, Enrique. Don't lose hope" Stephen said and patted my shoulder for support. I took a deep breath and did it again determinedly.
I love you so much, Blake. I can't live without you so please, come back to me. Please, don't leave me...
After the third try, she suddenly moved and vomited water.
"Thank God, you came back" I said with a trembling voice and hugged her tightly. My body was trembling. I felt so relieved. I thought I already lost her but thank God, she came back.
"I already called a doctor I know who's just living at the nearby island" Kelly said in a worried voice.
"I'll just maneuver the yacht back to the island then" Stephen said and turned his back.
______♥♥♥_____
It's been 2 days since that incident happened and Blake hasn't woken up yet. We're at the hospital.
That day, when we returned to the island, the doctor arrived and looked at Blake and Jake's conditions. Thankfully, we had the helicopter with us that's why we managed to fly to the nearest hospital while Mr. Joaquin Mendoza, the doctor, performed first aid on the two.
Kelly, Ken and Stephen remained on the island to answer the police's questions. They arrived right after Ken shot Jake.
Jake was in a state of coma after the operation yesterday. Ken shot him once and he was lucky that he survived while Blake was still asleep. Her doctors told me that it looked like Blake was the one who refuses to wake up because of trauma, anxiety and fear from what happened.
They explained to me that there are instances that a person would go in a coma-like state because of the things he's been through. So the doctors instructed me to talk to her frequently in her sleep and make her feel my desire for her to wake up. She's not really in a coma so we have nothing to worry about. But that's not the main problem right now....
I stared at her stomach then held her hand and kissed it. I looked at her pale face.
"Angel eyes, I'm sorry for failing you. I'm sorry that----" Before I could finish my sentence, I stopped because I felt a lump in my throat. I couldn't help anymore. My shoulder shook as I cried.
"I'm sorry...I'm sorry" I kept on repeating until all my tears stopped because they finally ran out.
"Please wake up, Angel eyes. I'm here, waiting for you. I love you so much" I kissed the back of her hand again and then I stood up from my seat and was about to kiss her on the forehead when her hand suddenly moved.
