A Sweet Change- a Revenge story
Emily opened her eyes to be hit by a bright light. Slowly her eyes focused on a sole figure standing next to her bed.
"who.. who am I?" She questioned his good looking yet visibly devastated face, fear and concern bubbling through her. Daniel Grayson had various thoughts zooming through him but at that moment relief broke out within him realising his wife didn't remember him as her shooter.
Still trying to accept her betrayal, "You don't remember?" He asked that beautiful yet deceitful face very cautiously.
Full of despair she replied, "No.. Please tell me?"
"You are Emily Thorne, my wife. My name is Daniel Grayson. You were shot while we were on a cruise during our honeymoon."
She didn't know how to feel but was spared of her reaction by the timely arrival of her doctor.
"Mr Grayson, my name is Dr Nelson, could we talk privately please?"
"Sure."
They went outside to where the remaining Graysons stood a different expression on each of their faces.
"Your wife is suffering with amnesia Mr Grayson. It usually happens when the body suffers intense trauma like this. There is no guarantee of her recovering her memory though, I'm sorry." Dr Nelson explained.
What about her baby? Charlotte Grayson asked tearfully.
"Well Ms Grayson, that baby is a fighter. The bullets just grazed the amniotic sac. Nothing we couldn't fix." He clarified.
Daniel stared at the doctor with disbelief. He couldn't breathe. Between Charlotte's squeals of happiness, Daniel asked the doctor once again. "So you're saying my wife is pregnant and I'm.. I'm going to be a.. a father?"
"Yes Mr Grayson, were you unaware of her pregnancy?" Dr Nelson asked mildly surprised.
"No No i was just reconfirming." Anger boiling through him thinking of what he had done and how he had almost killed his wife and his child only because of his mother. "Mom a word please?" He said through gritted teeth.
"Sure honey, what's wrong?"
"ALL BECAUSE OF YOU, I shot my wife and almost killed my child. BECAUSE I BELIEVED YOU AND YOUR RIDICULOUS DRAMA. I HATE YOU VICTORIA GRAYSON, I HATE YOU. STAY AWAY FROM ME AND MY FAMILY! WE DONT NEED YOU AND YOUR PATHETIC INFLUENCE ON US. LEAVE NOW!"
"But Daniel I.."
"Stop. I don't want to see you, I don't want to hear you and i certainly don't want to talk to you. WE'RE DONE!"
Daniel practically screamed. He walked past her and into his wife's room to be by her side.
Daniel was consumed by his guilt. He couldn't even look at hr without feeling responsible for her condition.
Dr Nelson came to check up on Emily and he bought and ultrasound machine with him. Applying some gel on her abdomen he said, "Now, this may feel a little cold. In a few minutes you'll be able to see your baby."
Eyes locked on the sonogram, Daniel got the first glimpse of his baby. Grabbing Emily's hand, he looked at her with moist eyes and resisted the urge to kiss her. Momentarily forgetting his evil deed, he bent down to kiss her forehead.
She whispered "That's our baby,"
He responded saying "I love you, you know that?"
I'm the luckiest woman on earth to have such a wonderful husband like you. I'm sorry i don't remember anything." Emily said, tearing up.
"Hey you have nothing to be sorry about." Daniel said, his guilt killing him. He was responsible for all her tears and pain.
