His Beautiful Addiction

She wanted to deny what she just heard but it was clear as day in her ears…

What did she do?

Her heart pounded as she tried to think but her mind became fuzzier, she wanted to open her eyes badly and call onto her but the more she tried, the weaker she became and finally everything went blank.

…

Diana smiled as she watched Michael pull out a chair for her to sit before he sat down.

She picked up the menu and then peeked at him,

"what do you want to eat?"

"mmm… whatever you want to eat,"

Diana smiled and picked the firs item on the menu, before passing it to the waiter who had been standing by the side to take their order.

After the waited left, Diana raised her phone and took a picture of Michael,

"what are you doing?" he asked when he heard the familiar beep.

"taking a picture of you."

Michael smiled and turned back to his phone,

"Okay, take a few more."

He said, adjusting on his seat,

Diana laughed and was about to say something when her phone rang,

"who is it?" Michael asked,

"My mom," Diana replied and swiped the phone, picking the call.

"Diana! Where are you? Was that a ring I saw on your finger? Michael asked you to marry him? Where is he? Is he there with you? Give him the phone I want to speak with him!"

Diana shut her eyes as she listened to her mom scream all the words at the same time.

"Yes it's a ring, and yes he asked me to marry him, and yes he's here,"

"give him the phone!"

"no, not now, mom, we're about to have lunch now, I'll call you when we're done besides we're coming to see you tomorrow."

"no, no, come today, immediately after lunch, I can't wait to see you both. Oh my baby is getting married! "

Diana smiled as she heard her mom scream excitedly.

"Alright talk to you later, bye"

"wait… wait…"

Diana laughed and ended the call before her mom could stop her, she knew if she didn't, her mom wouldn't let her be.

"what did she say?"

"she wanted to talk to you but I told her we were having lunch, she said we should come see her after lunch."

"mm… that's fine, since we don't have anything doing, we should as well go see her."

Diana nodded.

"Alright."

…

After lunch, Michael held her hand as they left the restaurant.

They had almost gotten to the car when Diana exclaimed,

"oh my, I forgot my purse, give me a sec,"

She turned and walked back into the restaurant hurriedly.

Michael stood by the car as he waited for her, after a few minutes, she stepped out, waving the purse in front of him.

Michael's hands were inside his pocket and there was a smile on his face, when suddenly he frowned.

Diana laughed wondering what was wrong,

Her brows creased when she saw him running towards her,

"what is…"

Before she could complete her sentence, he had turned her around, hugging her tightly.

Almost immediately she heard a loud bang.

Her world came to a halt as her ears could barely make out any sound.

What… what was that?

His hands were still around her as she lifted her head from his chest to look behind her, her brows creased when she saw the security run after a man on mask,

She blinked and tried to release herself from Michael's grip so she could understand what was happening,

That was she heard him groan painfully,

Diana's brows creased as turned to look at him,

His face went from 360 to 0 instantly and he looked so pale,

Her hands were still around him and that was when she felt a warm liquid on her wrist.

Diana's eyes widened,

"baby… what's wrong…"

The events that happened a few moments ago replayed before her and her face became deathly pale,

"no… Michael…"

Her voice quaked as she tried to look at his face, not wanting to believe what was going on in her head,

A painful groan left his lips again and he dropped to the ground.

"MICHAEL!!"

Diana exclaimed as she watched him fall like a feather, blood flowing on the ground,

"somebody help!! She screamed and people ran towards them,"

"baby, no please, don't do this… don't do this to me…"

Her hands trembled as she held his face, her white dress soaking with his blood.

Tears flowed freely from her eyes as she held onto him, unable to breath.

"baby, please, don't do this… what do I do? What do I do?"

This feeling, this moment.

Diana thought she knew what fear was but she had been wrong. Anything she had felt in the past was not close to what she was feeling now.

The fear of losing him..

Nothing she had felt under the heavens could compare to this.

The agony tore her in two.

…

Nicklaus was in a meeting when his phone rang on his table, normally he wouldn't have answered but when he saw it was Tiana, he picked the call.

She had told him she would call when she returned, he wondered if she had gotten back home already.

Putting the phone on his ear, he was about to talk when he heard a stranger's voice.

"Hello, is this Mr. Nicklaus Howells?"

The voice asked and Nicklaus frowned,

"Yes, why are you with my wife's phone?"

"I'm sorry to let you know, but your wife was involved in a ghastly motor accident, can you please come to the scene immediately."

Nicklaus jumped from his seat in an instant.

"what did you just say?"

His voice sounded dark as he stood up, bluish veins showing on his hands.

"Mr. Nicklaus, you should come quickly because she would soon be taken to the hospital. Your wife is in a terrible condition, I'll text you the address."

Without a second thought, Nicklaus dashed towards the door, ignoring the people in the room. He ran like a mad man, into his car and out into the road.

He didn't want to think. He didn't want to believe it. He had just spoken to her a few hours ago. How… how was she in an accident?

No… no it was not her…

Someone must have taken her phone…

It can't be her. It can't be his Beautiful.
