Chapter 12
Something troubled me on the way to the hospital. Why was Jason being so nice to me? And how did he know that Kirill got hurt? Who was behind this? Was it one of his bosses' colleagues? It has to be,I thought. No one else would try to kill him.

I tried to get to the hospital as fast as I could. I needed to be by Kirill's side. Plus I was scared to death because the only person in the world who loved me was hurt…again…
As soon as I got to the hospital I rushed to his room with Katarina. I didn't know where Jason was,but I didn't care. The only thing I cared about was seeing my lover alive.
I opened the door to his room slowly. As I opened it I saw him lying on his bed with his leg prompt up. Oh thank god,I thought. At least they didn't kill him…whoever it was.
I walked closer to the bed. Kirill's head turned and he smiled.
"Hi,"he said.
I smiled and didn't say anything. I took the chair and put it close to the bed and sat down.
He put his hand on my face and my lips began to tremble. He kissed me. "Hey now. Everything's going to be all right."
"Who did this?"
"I don't know."
"Was it Jason?"
He shook his head. "No. He saved me. He's the reason I'm still alive Nicole. You shouldn't take your anger out on him so much."
"But he almost killed you."
"That was two years ago Nicole."
"But it still haunts me."
He sighed. "I know. But he didn't do it."
I sighed. "I'm sorry."
"You should be happy I'm still alive."
"For some reason I think one of your bosses' colleagues did it."
"They could have." He looked at Katarina and smiled. He put his hand on her face. "She's so beautiful."
"We should leave."
"What?"
"When you're healed we should get out of here. What if they come after her next?"
"Nicole we can't go anywhere."
"I don't want anyone else to get hurt Kirill."
"I don't want you to get hurt Nicole."
"I don't care if I die."
"I do care Nicole. I want you to have this child. You know that."
I swallowed hard and put my head down. I knew he was right.
He kissed me. "I love you Nicole. I would hate it if something happened to you."
"I know."
"Promise me you won't do anything."
I nodded. "I promise."
He kissed me again. He looked down. Katarina was starting to wake up. "Are you going to be all right?"
"I'll be fine. Just let me stay with you for a couple of days."
"You're really worried about me?"
"Why wouldn't I be Kirill?" Why did this have to happen right after he came back to me,I thought. Why did this have to happen at all? I'm going to kill whoever did this.
"You really don't have to stay."
"What if something happens?"
"Everything is going to be fine Nicole. I'll be going home in three days anyways."
"Life is going to be dull without you."
"I know. But at least you have Katarina."
I smirked. "It's not the same."
"I know."
"I'll come back tomorrow ok?"
"Sounds good."
I smiled and didn't say anything.
"I promise you that nothing is going to happen Nicole. Now go home and don't worry anymore ok?"
"Ok."
I inched my face closer to his and we embraced. I wanted to cry again.
"I love you,"I whispered.
"I love you too."
"I'll see you tomorrow afternoon,"I got up and Katarina and I left the room.
