Jacob's POV...

I groaned in frustration at the noise interrupting my sleep, and pulled my pillow over my ear to block the noise. It took me some good time to get oriented and realise, it is past midnight and it's my phone ringing.

It's my phone ringing?!

I immediately woke up, my eyes wide open now, the first thought coming to my mind, Onika.

I looked at the screen, it was Onika indeed, at this time of the night? My heart got caught in my throat, as different types of unpleasant thoughts started coming to my mind.

I immediately picked the call.

"He--hello Ja--Jacob Ag--Agustin--" she started sobbing and her voice was completely hoarse as if she had cried her eyes out, I was not able to understand anything clearly.

"Agustin what Onika? please speak clearly I am not able to understand anything, did Agustin hurt you?"

I clenched my fist tightly, waiting for her answer, holding my breath. I was already making my way towards my car to get to her. I started driving in full speed towards Agustin's mansion.

"No he-he is not in his right mind! Please bring him back. He l-locked the door and I co-couldn't stop him, I couldn't stop him, I am so sorry." She sobbed hiccupping badly.

I frowned my brow in confusion, not being able to understand anything, what is going on?

"Bring him back from where? Where did he go? Please, Onika take few deep breaths and explain properly, I am not able to understand anything. I am on my way to there, just calm down. I will be there in five minutes."

"He--he knows, I don't know how! But he knows."

"Knows what Onika?" My patience was running thin now, as dread started gripped my heart from all sides, listening to her blood curdling cries.

"That I had a miscarriage." She said in a small voice, her voice so low that I almost missed it.

"WHAT?!" I stopped the car abruptly with a screech as it was about to deviate out of the lane.

My body went completely stiff, did I hear her right?

"Ja--Jacob are you listening to me" she asked in a small defeated voice.

I could feel my hands shaking in anger and pain, my vision clouding.

Someone please tell me this is not happening to Onika, I brought my fist to my mouth to contain my emotions.

"Jacob please come fast, are you listening to me?" She muffled another cry, bringing me out of my trance.

"I am coming Onika, I am almost there, okay? just hold on I am almost there" I said as gently as I can manage.

"Okay." She whispered brokenly.

I started my car in full speed, as soon as I reached the destination, I parked the car and ran towards her room, Kane tried to stop me, but I gave him the look that said, 'don't you fucking dare.' By the look on his face I can tell he understands the severity of the situation, he knows it already.

Her door was locked from outside, I opened it hurriedly, as soon as I opened the door Onika came running to me, grabbing my shirt she started saying something incoherent.

"Ja--Jacob he--he."

"Shhhh, relax Onika I am here nothing is going to happen, take deep breaths and explain everything to me, can you do that for me sweetie?" I cooed and patted her hair to calm her down.

She closed her eyes taking few deep breaths and after sometime she opened her eyes and looked into my eyes, just looking into her eyes I knew it's bad, very bad "the day I ran away from Agustin I had a miscarriage, I was three months pregnant." Her voice was kind of dead when she said that, as if she is trying to shut her emotions down. I felt myself go weak at my knees, but she continued,

"Agustin came to know about it, I don't know how. He blames himself, he locked me in and I don't know where did he go."

Fuck.

"I am afraid he will do something." She said, a sob escaping her lips.

I am afraid too, but I didn't voice my thoughts for her sake.

"Nothing will happen to him Onika, I promise, I will bring him back." I vowed more to myself than to her.

"How long has it been since he left?" I asked with urgency.

"Half an hour, Forty five minutes, I don't know" she said clutching her head.

"It's okay, it's okay...do you know any place he can go to? Did you guys used to go anywhere together."

"I didn't go anywhere with him" she answered, as her voice cracked.

"Do-do you know of any place he can go?" She asked me, instead.

I tried to think hard. Something clicked.

FUCK!

I subconsciously punched my fist in the nearby wall as a possibility occurred to me.

I heard a whimper and look up at Onika's scared face. 'Control Jacob now is not the time, you need to hurry up'

"Onika I think I might know where he can be--" I said and started to run towards my car.

"I am also coming with you!" I heard Onika's voice calling out for me. I don't think she will be able to bear the pain of seeing Agustin like that. Judging by her condition right now, it's not a good idea, not at all. I can't take her there she have had enough. Knowing her soft heart I know it will haunt her forever.

"Onika I will bring him back, please understand--"

"No, I will come--" I clutched my hair in frustration, we are running out of time.

"I said NO Onika! The more you argue about this the more you are putting Agustin in danger." I said harshly.

I know I shouldn't have said that, but knowing her stubborn self I know it's the only way to make her back off, and back off she did.

I masked the pang of guilt hitting my stomach, and immidiatly got into the car.

~~~~~
Onika's POV.....

I took two steps back as if I had been struck and looked at his retreating back. He is right, I am just causing trouble. He said he will bring Agustin back, and I know he will.

But I can't sit here idly, I tried to call Agustin several times, messaging him. Calling again and again.

Please pick up, Agustin, please pick up. I kept chanting. I bit so hard on my lip in anxiety, that it started bleeding.

When I was about to lose all hope and give up, he picked up.

"Agustin! Agustin can you hear me! It's me Onika" I shouted in relief.

But he didn't say anything.

"Agustin please say something, please, I am scared to death" my voice cracked.

Nothing, not even sound of breathing, but I know he is listening to me, I can feel it.

"Agustin, every thing will be okay, we will get through this together, I promise you. Just say something, anything."

Nothing.

"Please, don't do anything reckless, you promised me you will do anything I ask of you, I am asking this, don't you dare harm yourself " I said sternly trying to sound autherative but I couldn't keep away the despair in my voice.

"Just do as I say and I promise you, I will forgive you, I promise." I tried to elicit a response from him.

I heard some incoherent voices and then he cut the call. My heart was beating so fast as if it will come out of the rib cage. I tried to call again and again, but he didn't receive. I closed my eyes in frustration, tears leaking down my eyes.

I felt my throat shutting down completely, so much so that I couldn't breath, I frantically searched for my medicine and gulped it down immidiatly, trying to take in deep breaths to normalize my breathing.

Once all this is over, I am going to give you a tight slap, Agustin De Luca, I vowed.

I tried to calm myself. Jacob will bring him back safely, I reasoned. I know he will, I tried to assure myself. Agustin picked up my call that means he is fine.

Yes he is fine, I repeated again. I tried to calm myselfI, before I have a panic attack.

But peace was far away from me.

All of a sudden the image of my dead child blurred my senses.

I went to Alex's room, I tugged Alex close to my chest desperately, and rocked back and forth, trying to keep my mind away from disturbing memories.

I felt Alex coo softly and curl more into me, his small hand unconsciously resting on my cheek. I snuggled him closer to my chest.

Everything came crushing down at me, I tried to block it, I looked at Alex's innocent face. Breath in, breath out, breath in, breath out. I reminded myself how to breath for the whole night, clutching Alex close to my heart.

****************

I can hear someone complaining about the small Chapter, okay then, who wants a double update?!!

C'mon guys I can't hear you, raise your hands, hehehe 😁

Do you guys promise to vote on both the Chapters equally? If yes then another chapter will be up within 24 hours, and yes next chapter will be all about Agustin if that is what you all are waiting for.😏😏

Many are having confusion with the term abortion, in medical terms spontaneous abortion is known as miscarriage, but I will change it to miscarriage😅😅

Until next (hope that will be soon)
Ricky ❤❤
