Where the hell am I? And what on earth was that beeping sound? Why did my body felt this numb and groggy. I felt like a log lying lifeless on the side of a river bank. I tried opening my eyes and getting up but it was no use I didn't seemed to be able to do either. What is wrong with me? Where am I and why is it that I can't seemed to move?
Oh my God am I dead? Did I somehow die? What was the last thing that happened to me? For some reason I couldn't seemed to remember anything either. I started panicking and that beeping sound by my head started getting louder. Why won't someone turn it off.
"Her heart monitor is blaring off the charts" I heard a man said.
"I think she's going in to shock or having a panic attack" A woman said.
"Were going to have to stabilize her by sedating her" the man replied. "Pass me me the syringe"
Sedate? Syringe? Who the hell was this guy talking about sedating. He's definitely not going to stick a syringe in me. I finally started screaming as I jump up from the bed ripping the cord that was attached to my arm out.
"Hey, its okay, okay. You need to relax" I heard a guy said trying to stopped me
I grabbed him by his coat and pushed him sending him flying back and tumbling over things on the ground. As I jumped off the bed the woman also tried to stopped me but I grabbed her by the throat tossing her to the side off the room. As I tried getting out the door.
"We need to call security!" I heard someone shouted.
The minute I had got out to door someone grabbed me stopping me from going any further.
"No! Let me go! Let me go!" I screamed trying to fight off the person.
"Lexi stop it! Its me Dominic"
But I kept screaming and trying try get away. I didn't know where I was or who these people were but I wasn't going to let them inject me with anything or stop me from escaping.
"What happened? What's wrong with her!?" A familiar voice asked.
"Her heart monitor went off and we were trying to sedate her to calm her down and she just went off on us"
"Lexi! Stop fighting! No one is gonna hurt you! Stop! Look at me"
But I refused to give up and allow them to used a syringe on me, I don't know who they are and I didn't care enough now.
"Inject her now!" I heard the person holding me said.
I tried to escape but it was useless and that's when I felt a stab on my arm and I was suddenly sleepy. I didn't have any more strength to fight so I just allowed the guy to hold me as sleep took over and I passed out.
***** I woke up to a bright white room. I blinked a couple times trying to adjust to the harsh light. After opening my eyes again I realized I was in a hospital room. My body was really really numb and my throat was dry and felt like I've been screaming for days. What the hell?
"Lexi?" I heard mom said.
"Mom?" I croaked out looking to my left.
"Hey sweetie, you're awake" mom said hugging me.
"What...what happened?" I asked but my throat was dry.
"Here drink this" mom said screwing off the cork from the water bottle and handing it to me.
"Thanks" I said after drinking.
I passed her back the bottle before trying to sit up slowly. The minute I sat up and rested my back against the small headboard I noticed that something was wrong. My body just felt different, like something was missing. I looked at mind curiously noticing the nervous and sad look on her face as she watched me. Things started coming back to me, I remembered me being kidnapped restrained to that chair and then being shocked. My heart started beating fast once more and the heart monitor machine beeping was starting to get beep fast and louder.
"Lexi, you have to try and be calm" mom said nervously as she held one of my hand on the side of the bed.
"Mom, the baby?" I asked nervously placing my other hand over my stomach.
"Sweetie, I'm so sorry" mom said sadly squeezing my hand.
I didn't need to hear anything else, I already knew the answer. My baby was gone. The minute I had woke up I just knew something was wrong, I felt totally empty. Just as I was starting to like and get used to the idea of being a mom, my child was taken from me. I just started crying.
"I'm so sorry" mom said coming to sit on the side of the small hospital bed and hugging me.
I wrapped my hands around her waist and buried my face in her chest crying. Everyone or everything I love always seems to get taken away from me. First my parents and now my unborn child.
"I'm always losing the things I love" I cried as mom rubbed my back. "Just as I was getting use to the thought of being a mom, my baby is taken from me".
"I know sweetie, I know. I know how disappointed you are. I'm so sorry" mom said as she continued rubbing my back.
I just laid my head in her lap and stayed there crying for a while as mom continued trying to comfort me. After a while I just stayed there with my eyes closed as all the crying had made me sleepy again. I was starting to doze off when I heard someone entered the room.
"Mrs. Luciano, I take it that she knows?" I heard Dr.Lee asked.
"Yeah, she's just dozed off" mom whispered.
"I guess I'll just have to wait to explain things to her later then" I heard him spoke softly.
"No" I said shaking off the sleepiness as I sat up wiping my eyes.
My eyes were burning from all the crying I had done and my we was all stuffy and my voice was hoarse.
"What exactly happened?" I asked.
"Lexi first of all I'm sorry for your loss, I know that this can't be an easy thing for you to undergo right now. But you have to try to be strong, for your sake" Dr.Lee said and I nodded. "It seems as if there were three factors which led to your miscarriage. First when you got here there was a drug found in your system. Its often used to caused instant unconsciousness, well that had started inferring with the blood supply of the fetus. Then the electric shock that you had received was just too much, your body could barely withstand the impact of the shock and so it also reached to the baby which is too young to handle it which led to the bleeding and its death. There was also a high level CRH found. Corticotropin releasing hormone is a hormone which the brain secretes in reaction to both physical and emotional stress. It is also produced in the placenta and uterus of pregnant women in order to trigger uterine contraction during delivery. It can also be released in other places in the body where it specifically targets localised mast cells. Those are best known for causing allergic reactions, the uterus has plenty of mast cells"
"So basically you're saying that I had a miscarriage because I was drugged which interferes with my baby's blood supply and also trigger my stress hormones which caused an allergic reaction which affects the baby and then it was shocked to death?" I sniffles.
"Yeah" Dr.Lee said. "I'm sorry Lexi we couldn't save the baby, it was still too young and delicate"
"I understand" I nodded sniffing. "It wasn't your fault, when can I go home?"
"Tomorrow, we need to keep you for another day so that we can check to see that none of your organs was damaged, so far everything seems okay but to be sure were keeping you over night" Dr. Lee said to me. "You're gonna have different nurses come to check on you but please try not to damage anymore"
"What?" I asked confused.
"Earlier you woke up but you seemed out of it you kinda threw two nurses across the room, Dominic had to stop you and you were sedated" mom said to me.
"I don't... I don't remember that" I said to them. "Are they okay?"
"Yeah nurse Winslow and nurse Carter are fine. They just have a few bruises" Dr.Lee said to me. "It was a result if the drugs it caused an allergic reaction which caused you to hallucinate".
"This is just too much" I said rubbing my temples.
"I'm going to check back on you later okay" Dr.Lee said to me.
"Okay" I nodded.
After Dr.Lee had left Dominic, Dad and Kathleen came in to see me. They were all trying to comfort me about the miscarriage. Kathleen even tried giving me advice on how she dealt with her miscarriage, telling me she knows how it feel and that one day I'll be better. Mom, Dad and Dominic was surprised to hear this, apparently I was the only one who knew her story to this extent. Dominic told me how he and a couple of his men had came to look for me. After Kathleen reached home before me after I had left the store long before her they figured that something was off. And when they tried my phone and couldn't get me they immediately started tracking me and my car.
My tracker led them right to Gio's warehouse where I was. There was a shoot out with them and couple of Gio's men. Since Gio was outnumbered they got in. Dominic told me that Lucas got shot but he's still alive, Zach had knocked him unconscious. Dominic shot Gio in his leg and had threatened Gio after he saw me there,and told him that if he ever came near me or his group again he'd kill him. Gio also found out that Zach was the undercover mole when he had came in with Dominic to look for me. Dominic told me that Zach had also let Gio know that whatever issues he was having with the Luciano group he needed to get over it and find out who are the others who are stealing his shipments and stuff because the Luciano's group is innocent.
Since none of the Gio's guys who had a hand in my kidnapping, injecting me with a drug that affected me, and the events that led to the death of my unborn child wasn't already dead. I now have four main names on my revenge list starting with the one who kidnapped me-Joe. They're all gonna wish they had never laid eyes on me.
I know y'all gonna kill me now. She lost the baby what do you think is gonna happen now?
