The Boss's Wife True Love

Chapter Twenty Three

I rushed up the stairs and walked into the bedroom. Alex was kneeling on the floor with his phone in his hand. He had phoned for an ambulance. I picked Blake up and hugged him.

"Dad. Mum won't wake up," Blake says which just broke my heart. I hand Blake to Aria and walk over to Riley. I kneel on the floor and look at her pale face. I had seen her like this before when she had the transplant.

"Riley. Open your eyes," I asked her but nothing.

"Riley, baby come on open your eyes. I want to see your beautiful blue eyes," She never moved. I then sit on the bed and cradle her in my arms. Alex started to scream I looked at the girls and they were holding Blake.

"Girls take Blake to the games room please," They nod and went to walk off, but Blake runs over to me and looks at Riley.

"Mummy please wake up," Aria pulled Blake out of the room and I started to rock on the bed while I was cradling Riley. My warm tears fall down my cheeks and onto Riley's. I couldn't hold the pain that I was feeling, and it hit me hard that this could be the last time I hold Riley in my arms.

I bury my face in the crook of her neck and sobbed.

"Riley I am so sorry. Baby, please wake up. I do love you," No matter how much I plead she didn't wake up.

The ambulance arrived and they check her over. They asked a few questions then took her to the hospital. We followed.

"Alex phone Angel and told her what's happened," I just could not tell my children what was happening. I didn't even know what was happening.

We are at the hospital waiting for the doctor to speak to us. Riley was in a room hooked up to machines. None of us knew what was going on. I was sitting holding her hand and staring at her beautiful face. She had a tube coming out of her mouth and tubes up her nose. I did feel like an imposter sitting holding her hand.

The dream I had the night I left her was coming true. I was still feeling mixed up with my emotions but one thing I did know is that I love her.

The doctor walks in and shakes my hand. Alex is stood waiting to find out what's wrong. We are waiting for Angel and Zayne to show up.

"Wyatt. I am sorry but Riley's fallen into a coma. It doesn't look good her tumour has grown which is putting pressure on the brain," I gasped and screamed. My heart felt like it had just broken into a million pieces. Alex collapsed to his knees. I couldn't take in what I was hearing.

"Will she wake up?" I wanted to know. But deep down I knew I was too late to tell her how I feel.

"It's very unlikely," The doctor says. I couldn't stop sobbing.

I walked over to her and buried my face in the crook of her neck. I just kept telling her how sorry I was and that I did love her.

A while later Angel walks in and so does Zayne. He picks up his daughter and cradles her in his arms. And he starts to beg her to wake up. I had to leave and give Zayne some time with his daughter. I stood outside the room with Angel and Alex in my arms. I couldn't say anything to them. It was a nightmare and I wanted to wake up. I wanted everything back as it should have been. I was missing Riley and regretting for walking out on her when she needed me the most.

The day had passed quickly. Riley looked like she was just sleeping. I kissed her cheek.

"Riley we will all be back tomorrow. I love you," I was the last one to leave. I didn't want to leave her, but I needed to look after my children.

I got to the house. Blake was already in bed and the twins were in the lounge watching tv.

I walked into the kitchen and got a coffee. I was sitting at the table thinking about what had happened that day. I felt lost. I should never have been so nasty to her. How the hell could I do that to her. I picked up my cup and threw it at the wall then broke down sobbing. 

It was harder than I thought knowing that she might not open her eyes again or hear her sweet voice. I won't hear her telling me how much she loves me. I won't be able to feel her warm body next to mine. I won't be able to touch her beautiful face and run my fingers through her long hair. There is so much I will miss and the biggest thing I would miss of all is her.

My tears fall and I sniff. The damage is already done, and my heart will never heal.
