My head feels dizzy as Mom calls someone on the phone. What’s happening? It’s too early to go into labour. I’m not even anywhere near full-term!
Something wet trickles down my legs and I can’t even look down with my belly in the way. Have my waters broken?!
“You’re bleeding… Goddess, Zaia!”
Mom’s voice is full of horror as she drops the phone in her panic and runs to my side, “We need to get you to the hospital immediately!”
Terror, like never before, rushes through me. Nothing can happen to my babies… Fuck, please. I’ll do anything, goddess, please… protect these children….
My heart is thudding violently as I’m rushed out and into the car. Blood covers my legs and the amount is horrifying. My vision darkens as another powerful wave of pain rushes through me.
“Mom… It hurts.”
I say, feeling a powerful contraction rip through me and there’s a sharp stabbing pain in my chest, one that reminds me of how I felt when he had rejected me.
The dreadful thought that now comes to the forefront of my mind is undeniable. I’m in labour, at only twenty-eight weeks.
Goddess…
“… Intensive care.”
“…Oxygen immediately…”
“The heart rate is dropping…”
Beep. Beep. Beep.
“What’s going on…”
I mumble, it takes great energy and as I look around, my vision is blurry. The last thing I remember is getting to the hospital before falling unconscious.
There’s pain in my lower abdomen and I touch my stomach. “My babies!”
I gasp, my eyes flying open as fear envelopes me feeling my flattened stomach.
“Calm down Zaia, everything is alright .”
I turn my head to see Mom standing weeks.
Goddess…
“… Intensive care.”
“…Oxygen immediately…”
“The heart rate is dropping…”
Beep. Beep. Beep.
“What’s going on…”
I mumble, it takes great energy and as I look around, my vision is blurry. The last thing I remember is getting to the hospital before falling unconscious.
There’s pain in my lower abdomen and I touch my stomach. “My babies!”
I gasp, my eyes flying open as fear envelopes me feeling my flattened stomach.
“Calm down Zaia, everything is alright .”
I turn my head to see Mom standing there, a small smile on her face, but it’s not reaching her eyes. Something is wrong!
“The babies, where are my babies!”
I shout.
“Ms Toussaint, you have given birth to a baby boy and girl. Congratulations.”
The doctor’s voice is vague and distant as I struggle in and out of consciousness, trying to clear my head.
There are too many people here… are the babies ok?
“Where are they!”
I say, trying to sit up.
“They are in intensive care, but we are trying out best.”
My heart thuds as I stare at the doctor fearfully.
“Will they be ok?”
I whisper, horrified Silence.
“Tell me!”
I say, my voice breaking. They are all I have. I can’t let them die. I can’t let anything happen to them! “We are trying our best.”
Comes the quiet reply.
In other words, they don’t hold much hope…
“Be strong Zaia, it’s going to be ok,”
Mom says soothingly as she strokes my hair, but the truth is, I’ve failed them.
I should have been strong enough to bring them into this world, but I wasn’t. I’m so sorry…
ZAIA.
THREE YEARS LATER…
I lace my fingers together, resting my elbows on the sleek marble of my top- floor executive office. Scoffing as the man before me rambles on.
Cocking a brow, I finally intervene. “Mr Santoni, time is precious, and I have places to be, deals to close, and money to make. So, shall we get to the proof that these company records show?”
His face pales as he presses his lips into a tight line. “You are gravely mistaken, Ms Toussaint! I can assure you the miners’ project was something that we handled correctly! Those poor folk are trying to con the company! They are snakes!”
My eyes flash as I slam my hand on top of the file, making him flinch as I stand up.
“Mr Santoni. I will not tolerate you antagonising me. You embezzled millions of dollars from this company, which was set aside for the family of the deceased miners abroad after the accident two years ago! Did you really think that I would not look into it?”
I ask sharply, my voice dripping with authority and warning him to dare deny the truth that is laid before us.
He lowers his head, swallowing hard. A drop of sweat trickles down his face and he takes out his handkerchief, wiping it away nervously.
“P-please Ms Toussaint… the th-thing … I mean I have served this company for over twenty years, my father before me worked for the Toussaint enterprises, how can you let that all be cast aside so qu- quickly…”
he mumbles his eyes darting around the office as if looking for a way to escape.
We are on the thirty-seventh floor of Toussaint Enterprises, a building that sits in the centre of the business district. There is nowhere to escape with security on every floor and at every exit.
That does not excuse the fact you took money that was not yours.”
I say coldly, “Those families needed it far more than you, and when they raised those concerns, you tried to silence them.”
The scandal had rocked the empire, and it had cost the company a lot, despite the fact the manager put in charge had been careless and Mr Santoni here had only made matters worse. But ultimately the company must take responsibility for the mistakes made, and the lives lost.
I try to calm my wolf’s emotions by taking a deep breath. Although I’ve only shifted once in my life, lately her emotions have only gotten stronger, I guess being surrounded by idiots does that.
“I… I know Ms Toussaint… but I… I’m sorry! And I will pay it back, p-please please don’t press charges!”
he pleads as he suddenly holds his hands up pleadingly as he rushes to the table, and gets into my personal space.
I move back, my eyes flashing as I press a button under the table. “I need security. I’m afraid you will have to take the consequences for your actions, Mr Santoni.”
He freezes as if unable to comprehend those words before he tilts his head and shakes it vigorously.
“I will never accept it!”
he shouts as the door opens and two security guards come in. “I-I did nothing! I’m being framed.”
I raise an eyebrow, motioning at them to take him out. “Your confession is caught on tape, Mr Santoni. Anything and everything can and will be held against you.”
“You lied! You tricked me! No no! I will not accept it!”
I fold my arms under my breasts and turn away from the shouting man as he’s dragged from my office.
“Are you alright, Boss?”
