VIXEN POV
I run back to Darrick's place, banging furiously at the gates with all my might before the gateman, Sam opens.
" Leave here ma'am. I told you the Alpha doesn't want to see you" Sam informs angrily
" Well tell your alpha I am not leaving, until he attends to me" I inform looking him dead in the eyes.
I am not going to let my child die because of fear.
" Ma'am please leave. I don't want to hurt you" He confesses calmly
" Then let me in. Please I need help my daughter is sick" I beseech him before hearing a car horn.
He hurries off to open it, letting a black SUV drive out and I know only it too well, who it belongs to, Darrick.
As the car drives out I hurrily stand in its path in an effort to gain an audience.
" What is the meaning of this rubbish Vixen?" Darrick yells angrily as he alights from the car, with his new found lover Sapphire.
" Darrick, our daughter. She got hospitalized and the doctor requested we give the sum of $400 before commencing treatment" I inform
" That just seems like an elaborate ploy to come close my husband" Sapphire says nonchalantly
" Darrick, we have to go see her as soon as possible if we want her to survive" I inform, ignoring her.
" Why should he bother. She's your daughter after all. Handle it" Sapphire interrupts once more
" Sapphire shut up. This doesn't concern you" I yell acrimoniously.
" Enough you two. Vixen I am not giving you dime. Sapphire let's leave" He says as tries to broad his car, but I hold onto his hand preventing that.
" What type of an animal are you?. I regret boeing a child with a heartless monster like you" I yell and next thing I know, a slap connecting to my cheek.
His slap was power packed that I lose my balance falling stomach first to the ground.
My stomach collides with the unforgiving gravel.
It hurts, it hurts so bad that I feel like my waist is about to break, I can't barely breathe.
I can equally feel a viscous liquid slowly soaking my underwear, which I suspect to be blood.
Unexpected, Darrick hurries to my side with a concern expression on his face.
" Are you ok?" He ask concerned " I am so sorry I didn't mean to hurt you"
" No, take me to the hospital. I am losing our babies" I cry at the top of my lungs while clutching on my tommy.
" Darrick what are you doing?. We are going to be late" She says " Come in now" She commands before broading the car, and he follows immediately, leaving me in pain.
" Darrick ahhh" I shout clutching on my lower abdomen, but he pays me no attention.
He just drives out, next thing sam runs to my side.
" Ma'am are you Alright?" He ask concerned
" No. My babies, my daughter" I inform in tears, unable to put my words together.
" Give me a second" He says as he runs in. A few seconds later he returns and hands me the sum of $500 " Ma'am please manage this. I wish I could help more"
" How did you get all this money" I ask confused
" I am not only a gate man ma'am. There's alot about me you don't know" He says simply before he calls for a cab and helps me in.
" Take care of yourself ma'am" He informs
" Thank you so much for this, I promise to repay you one day" I assure him
" Forget about it. I have to go now" He says before the cab drives off.
I am in unbearable pain. It feels like my stomach is about to explode from immense pain.
The pain is more severe than any labour pain I had felt when I giving birth to Claire, but yet there's something that hurts me more, the fact that Darrick doesn't give a dime about me and our kids.
By the time I arrive at the pack's hospital, my waist had gone numb from pain.
I feel dizzy from excess blood loss, but I don't succumb to sleep.
I have to see daughter, I have to make sure she's fine.
I walk to the cashier and informs her that I would like to make the deposit for my daughter, but what she says stuns me.
" What do you mean by my daughter is dead. I just left her here a few hours ago?" I ask in a yell unable to believe my ears.
" Ma'am you see she passed away a few minutes ago, due to a cardiac arrest. I am so sorry" She informs sympathetically.
" No, no. I want to see the doctor now" I inform in a yell as tears stream down my face.
Our little argument quickly elevates into a commotion which draws the doctor's attention.
" What is going on here?" He ask the moment he walks in.
" Doctor where's my daughter?" I ask in a panic, praying that what the cashier said was all a lie.
" You're bleeding miss. You need medical attention" He tries to divert from question.
" Answer my question Doc. Where's my daughter" I yell grabbing hold of his collar furiously.
" I am sorry ma'am, we lost her" He confesses, with a sympathetic expression on his face.
My heart shatters, my legs are shivering, and my chest feels like exploding, next thing I know, I am lieing on the floor.
" Ma'am are you ok?" I hear the doctor's husky voice before the darkness engulfs me.
It's dark, warm and fuzzy.
It's feels like all the pain is now gone and everything was just all part of a bad dream.
'My husband will never leave me. My children are fine'- I think before hearing a beeping sound.
That's when all the feeling in my body returns, my back aches and my waist is on fire.
I quickly flutter my eyes open to any unfamiliar white ceiling.
I look to my right and there is a woman in white standing next to a ventilator. I supposed she must be a nurse.
" Ahhh....What happened?" I groan at the outstanding pain in my head, while trying to sit upright but she stops me.
" Don't........ Just rest........ You passed out yesterday" She informs, and that's when all the painful memories of yesterday resurface.
" Where is my daughter?" I ask before taking a look at my baby bump realize that it's no longer protruding. "Where are my babies?" I ask in a panic.
" I am afraid you lost the three of them" She informs.
Her words hit me like a sunamy. It hurts, it feels like my world has crumbled and I have no where to run too.
" No, no. I don't believe you" I cry as I pull the ventilator strip off my nose and pry the cannula off my hand.
" My babies can't be dead" I yell in tears before she pulls me into her warm embrace.

ROMAN POV
" You're fire, get out of my office" I command nonchalantly as I scroll through my laptop.
I have had enough of Vera, my drug merchant.
She has become so incompetent this pass week that I feel she has to pay the price, despite her 5 years of good service.
" Boss please I need this job. My son is hospitalized and ..." She says before I cut in
" Not my business. You lost goods ward $100,000. You should be greatful that I let you live. You have a month to provide my drugs or you will pay with your life" I threaten
" Please boss. I don't know where I could get such a large sum. Please give me another chance, I will make it up to you " She persist in her pointless persuade at convincing me to reconsider her case.
Women are such pretenders, but I know too much to let her or any of them play with my intelligence.
" Kelvin, throw her out" I command Kelvin, my delta who is standing next to me.
" Right away Alpha" He answers before pulling her out.
" Alpha please don't do this to me" She beseeches me, but I pay her no yields while she is still being dragged out.
I then return to my work like nothing happened, only to be distracted by a familiar masculine voice.
" You really shouldn't let go of a trusty worker like Vera" Mr Williams, my right hand man, personal adviser and uncle.
" Uncle, I didn't see you there. Have you been there long?" I ask ignoring his former statement.
" Vera has been an important part of this cindicate, you can't just go ahead and fire her over one tiny mistake" He informs as he takes a seat opposite to mine.
" A mistake that cost me a hundred thousand dollars" I inform angrily
" And she has earned you millions" He reminds.
" You know, I don't tolerate incompetence. My number one rule is never make mistakes" I remind equally pissed
" You are making a mistake. Roman no one is perfect" He lies
" But you are wrong uncle. I am perfect" I inform looking him straight in the eyes
" That's where you're wrong son. You're not" He informs
" I don't have time for this drama. What do you want uncle. I am sure you didn't come all this way to play my conscience" I say nonchalantly
" Oh yes, I almost forgot. One of the lorry carrying your goods got into a huge accident" He informs
" What?. How much worth of drugs did I lose?. I hope that stupid driver didn't snitch on me to the police. Such incompetence all around me" I yell shuffling my laptop off my desk and stand infuriated.
" Relax. I am talking about your legitimate business. You do remember own a shoe company, right?" He reminds, jogging my memory.
" Why didn't you say so. I will take care of it. I hope the goods are still in good condition, or else that driver is going to rod in jail" I say with a sigh before retaining my seat.
I then quickly lets out a breathe of relief, I didn't know I was holding till now.
Don't get me wrong I love my shoe company, but not as much as I love this cindicate.
" Heartless as ever. Shouldn't you be more concerned about the well being of your employees. Employees are what makes a business flourish" He informs
" And my money is what keeps them fed" I remind nonchalantly
" We agree to disagree on that son" He informs " Oh yes I almost forgot. Your daughter Claire wishes to spend some more time with her father"
Claire is my 5 year old daughter with my choosen mate and, ex wife Sia.
We were happily married for over 8 years, or so I thought ontill I caught her in bed with my cousin Kane.
We go a divorce 4 years ago and since then I haven't laid eyes on her, she doesn't even bother to check up on our child.
Guess it's true what they say, " You can't love who you don't love". I gave her everything and yet she couldn't bring herself to love me.
She scattered my heart and for that reason I will never forgive her.
I hate her, I hate her with everything in me.
" But we see each other everyday" I remind nonplussed
" It's not enough. She claims you never have dinner with her, and you mother. Is it because you're avoiding your mother or is it because of the absence of a woman?" He questions.
Again with the wife issue does he ever stop.
" I have told you already. I am not ready to get a new wife anytime soon, and about Flora, I don't consider her as my mother" I inform sincerely.
In all honesty, I hate talking about that witch, Flora. She abandoned me when I was just a toddler for her lover and when he dumped her, she came running back.
For what?. Forgiveness.
What a joke.
" Yes, especially since you have sex toys and maids everywhere" He says mockingly
" Uncle, please don't talk about my sexuality. I will give my daughter more attention" I inform in a effort to end the conversation
" What about your mom?" He questions
" I have no mother" I inform simply with a neutral demeanor.
