My Evil Husband by Sweet Mia

Third Person POV

Anna was confused when he said that he wanted god to fulfill her wish. But the question is what was her wish?

Maxim took her outside the house and away from it. She wanted to protest and wanted to wait for him to come outside.

But she didn't do anything and went toward her babies. She hugged them tightly and kissed their cheeks.

She looked toward the house in nervousness. She wanted him to come back with Charlotte.

She didn't want to lose anyone and want them to die. She needed them and her babies needed them too.

And he was her husband and the father of her children. She couldn't let them die.

Her head was still aching due to last night and all these. She closed her eyes and tried to think about last night.

She tried very hard and then a memory came into her mind. A memory that shook her to the core. "I hope you die, Jack"

As soon as the memory came, a blast occurred. She buried the faces of her children in her chest.

The noise was so loud that her ears started to hurt. She could hear the screaming of her children.

When it dawned on her that Jack didn't come back, she left the babies. Tears started to blur her visions. She looked toward the house, which was now nothing more than a mountain of ash.

She ran toward the house with tears streaming down her eyes.

She wanted to search the house for him. She knew that he would be alive with Charlotte.

She never wanted him to die. She always wanted him to love her and she too wanted to love him.

She would hate herself if something happened to him. It was she who had wished to be dead.

She was not in her right state of mind. She wasn't thinking when she wished that stupid thing.

Maxim grabbed her by her waist in the middle of the way and said "Are you stupid? Where do you think you are going?" She squirmed in his hold and yelled "Leave me. My husband is inside. I have to save him."

"Don't be stubborn." He replied back.

Jack strode toward the basement quickly as much as he could with his injured body.

He saw that the door was unlocked to the basement. He went inside with his gun in his hand.

Fortunately, no one was there except Charlotte. She was lying on a bed, her back facing the door.

When the door opened, she got tensed and thought that maybe it was her father, coming here to beat her again.

She moved her eyes toward the intruder and got shocked when she saw that the person was none other than her brother.

But she got tensed when she saw the condition of him. His nose was bleeding along with his head.

His white shirt was soaked in blood and some blood drops were on the floor where he was standing. "Jack" she whispered painfully.

Her cheeks were swollen due to the slaps which she had gotten from her father.

"Come on Charlotte. We have to leave quickly. There is a bomb here." He replied to her.

He opened her handcuff with the key which Maxim had given him earlier when they parted ways.

"What? Bomb? Jack, what happened to you? Are Anna and babies alright?" She fired all these questions at him.

"They all are fine. And you are gonna be too." He said and helped her to stand up.

He grabbed her hand and took her toward the opposite direction of the door. "Jack this is not the way." She told him

"I know Charlotte. We won't make it out alive if we chose that way." He said.

He finally found the secret door that Maxim had told him about and took her to that way.

They ran toward the cave which led to the forest which was a little far away from the house.

A piece of stone was on her way and Charlotte fell from it and winced when her knees got scratched by the floor.

"Shit" Jack mumbled and helped her to get up.

"I am sorry." She whispered.

They were only 20 meters away from the end of the cave when the house blasted.

The force was so much that they both were thrown out of the cave and both landed in the forest.

"Finally, " Jack mumbled

His family was now safe. His eyes were now covered with darkness.

He could see the stars and his breath was now getting abnormal. He groaned loudly when his heart started to pain more than before.

"Jack? What happened to you, Jack? Oh god. Are you listening?" Charlotte patted his cheeks while sobbing.

"Charlotte" she heard him whispering.

"Yes. Jack, I am gonna call for help." She cried

"Hmm. You know that I love you right?" He mumbled while blinking his eyes.

He wanted to keep his eyes open maybe to see someone for the last time.

He knew that he won't be able to live now as he is going into a cardiac arrest.

John (his therapist) had told him to never take these drugs again because it could lead to cardiac arrest.

"I love you too, Jack. Please don't leave me. I don't have anyone other than you. You are the only one I have." She sobbed on his chest.

He caressed her hair and before he could close his eyes, he heard what he was craving for.

"Jack. I am sorry. Please don't die and leave us alone."

He gave her a last glance and with a smile closed his eyes and surrendered himself to the darkness.

"Come on. I know where they are." Maxim told her.

Richard had already called 911 and the paramedics are on their way. He knew that Jack couldn't die.

He won't let him die. With this determination, he strode toward the direction, which Maxim was leading, with his grandchildren.

Within minutes, they reached the place and found Charlotte sobbing on Jack's chest.

The paramedics arrived quickly as the hospital was only 5 minutes away from the place where they were right now.

Both Anna and Charlotte were sobbing and it was a good thing that the children were sleeping due to exhaustion.

The paramedics took him and placed him inside the ambulance. Anna was inside the Ambulance with Jack.

Richard along with the children was in the other ambulance with Charlotte as she was injured too.

She grabbed his hand and said "I am sorry for wishing something like that. I was not in the right state of my mind. Please don't die. I need you. The medics checked him for some minutes then put an oxygen mask on his face.

"It's a cardiac arrest." One of the medics told her.

She looked at them with teary wide eyes and put her hand on her mouth to muffle the sobs.

They reached the hospital quickly and then took Jack toward the ICU. Anna had to wait outside as she wasn't allowed inside.

She slumped down on the chair and stared at the floor. Then she covered her face with her hands and cried.

"I hope you die, Jack"

"I hope you die, Jack"

This line kept repeating in her head, making her guilty enough to cry.

She had heard it from someone that we shouldn't demand anything from God when we are angry.

We have to think before speaking or making wishes because god is always listening to us.

She doesn't want him to die and leave her alone. She wanted him to alright so that they could stay together in peace.

She maybe doesn't love him right now. But she cared for him a lot.

She was ready to forgive him. He had apologized for his mistake enough and everyone deserves a second chance.

She wasn't a God. And even he gave us second chances when we made any mistakes.

The doctors were checking on Charlotte too. Richard came and sat beside her.

"Jane is back and she took the babies home," Richard told her.

She nodded slowly then she remembered her mother. She turned toward him and said "Mom"

Richard cut her off and said "She is alright and conscious right now. She wanted to come but I told her to rest."

She again nodded while blinking her eyes to keep her tears at bay. Richard sighed and pulled her gently to his chest.

She wept on his chest and said "Dad it's my fault. Last night, I was drunk and I wished him to die, dad. I was angry and wanted to hurt him. I did sin. I never wanted him to die. I need him, dad. I really do." She wiped the tears but it didn't do any good as a new set of tears started to stream.

"I... I don't want him to die, dad. Charlotte doesn't have anyone except him. Babies want him and I want him too" She sobbed.

She sniffled "I will forgive him. I will forget everything but I don't want him to die."

"Shhh. I know honey. Don't cry. He will be alright. He had faced more brutal things than this. He will be alright." Her father soothed her with his gentle words.

They stayed like this for some time until the doctor came back from the ICU.

"Who is the relative of the patient?" The doctor asked.

Both father and daughter stood up and Anna moved toward the doctor and said "I am his wife."

"Hello, Mrs. Miller. I am Dr. Samuel. He has gone into cardiac arrest." The doctor told them. She knew that as the medics had told her on their way here but still it does shake her.

"Now I am going to be honest with you. The chances of survival in case of Cardiac arrest is very low. Around 10 or less than it. It's good that the patient was rushed here quickly. Had it been 2 minutes late, he would have died." He said

Anna was visibly shaking and her lips were trembling. The tears were again rolling down her cheeks.

When she couldn't say anything, Richard asked "Is he going to be alright?"

"As I had said earlier, it's very

difficult to save him as he had

overdosed too. We have found a lot of cocaine in his body. We have pumped it out but still, it's affecting him That's the reason he went into cardiac arrest." The doctor explained him

Richard nodded dumbly. Then the doctor said, "and we have also taken out the bullets from his back."

He sighed and said "We will try our best. Excuse me."

"Dad, tell him not to die, please. I won't be able to face myself ever." Anna pleaded with him

But this time, Richard didn't have any answers. He couldn't believe that there is a 90% chance that Jack could die.

He remembered the first time when he met both siblings. They both were sad as they had lost their mother.

"I only have Charlotte. I don't have anyone except her."

That's what Jack had told him when he said 'you are not alone.'

He didn't want to lose him and he knew that Anna doesn't want that either.

He was scared for his children but he couldn't do anything right now except waiting for something.

Waiting for a miracle.

•

Hours passed and the surgery was still going on. The doctors didn't come outside yet.

Anna was staring at the wall ahead of her while tears were still streaming down her eyes.

Charlotte was sitting beside her in the same conditions. The doctor told her to get some rest as she was injured.

But she didn't want to leave her brother. She couldn't leave him in this matter.

He had never left when she was in a difficult situation. He was always with her no matter how many times she had done blunders.

Then how could she leave him? And also she didn't want to hear that he didn't survive.

She doesn't have anyone in her life. Her brother is her everything and the only family she had.

She could still remember his words when he met her after pushing her off the stairs.

FLASHBACK

Jack went inside the room and saw his 9 years old sister lying on the bed with a bandage on her head.

She looked at him with tears in her eyes and mumbled "Jack"

Jack took some steps toward her and sat beside her bed. His eyes were red due to continuously crying.

"Jack I am sorry. I don't hate you. I love you. You are the best brother anyone could ever have. Please don't leave me." She whispered in tears.

Jack shook his head and hugged her gently and said "I would never leave you, Charlotte. You are my daughter. Remember Mumma said that we have to be there for each other won't leave you ever and love you

too

FLASHBACK ENDS

Some tears again started to roll down her cheeks and she wiped it quickly.

Her brother is going to be alright. He had promised her and he won't break his promise ever.

The doctor came out of the room with a grim expression. He nodded to the other doctor then moved toward them.

Anna stood up and hurriedly asked, "Is he alright doctor?"

Dr. Samuel sighed and said "the surgery was successful and we have taken out the bullets. But he is not responding to our medicines."

Then he furthered continued "He is in a coma."
