Sequel to Magnificent
I opened the door and entered the room to find Riele on the bed, crying her eyes out. "Why are you crying Riele?" I asked in worry as I approached the side of her bed.
"Why me?" she choked out.

Samuel's POV
I'm still at the hospital, specifically beside Riele's hospital room door. I haven't left this place since I was sent out of the room by the nurse and how could I? I haven't felt this much guilt in a while and now that I do feel it, I don't know what to do
Snapping my head at the direction of the door, I was greeted by the doctor who came to take care of Riele. "Is everything ok Doc?" I asked in fear watching as the nurses left the room to other places.
"Please, no more news or information. Her body can't take it anymore. I'm afraid any more shocking news she receives again might cause her to die" he was cut off as I gasped, terrified
"Death?" I asked in disbelief to which he nodded
Hot salty tears began rolling down my cheeks in an uncontrollable manner. 'It's all my fault' I hiccuped feeling as the doctor rubbed my back comfortingly.

Jace's POV
"You ready?" I asked Shelby as she applied more lip gloss to her lips making it glossier than before. She nodded her head before walking out and with that I locked the gates to the company, pocketing the keys.
I stopped a taxi before ushering Shelby in and immediately, I entered with her. "Remind me again why we're going to the hospital?" Shelby asked, annoyance dripping from her tone
I frowned "We're going to the hospital to check up on Riele and the kids" but she pouted
"Why must we?" she whined throwing her head back against the seat catching the attention of the driver.
Muttering a quick sorry at the man, I glared at Shelby making her shrug. "She is my friend and as a GOOD friend it is my duty to visit her at her most vulnerable state" I said watching as her body reacted contrary to what I said
