My Emotionless Goddess

” I also think you should leave here immediately. Your life is in danger and yet she left you all alone and went to her business. Who knows, she might be meeting with her boyfriend while you lay in bed in pain.” Cassy added, fanning the flames.

” Nobody asked for your opinion so do me a favour and shut your mouth before I throw you out of this room.” Doctor Rose said sternly. She was getting irritated by the woman’s irresponsible words. How could she not know what the woman was doing? After all, she wasn’t born yesterday and could tell one’s intentions with a single glance. Cassy who was reprimanded decided to shut it, she didn’t want pushing her luck too much and besides, she had already achieved her goal. Gabriel was going home and that too without seeing the bitch.

After settling the discharge papers, the three boarded a limo and went straight to the airport. While their Private jet was ascending high in the sky, Gabriel couldn’t help the tightening in his chest. It felt painful, like someone was repeatedly stabbing poisonous daggers in it and twisting it ruthlessly. She was his momentary happiness but now, she was no longer his, she was never his. He curled himself on the bed specially erected for him. The pain from the knife stab was incomparable to the pain in his heart.

After ten hours of surgery, Stacy finally emerged from the surgery room looking exhausted and spent. Who wouldn’t be? Performing surgery for ten hours was no joke. She was hungry and sleep deprived. She walked to her office intending to take a quick shower. After showering, she donned on a plain blue dress and walked towards Gabriel’s room. It wasn’t morning yet so she assumed he was sleeping but upon opening the door, she found the bed empty. Her heart sank.

He Left! That was the first thing that registered in her mind. He left, just like that. He didn’t even wait to see her before leaving. Downhearted, she took lazy steps back to her office. She walked directly to the bed attached to her office and laid down. She couldn’t help the loneliness that invaded her every nerve. Just yesterday, she was with him, clinging to her like he always did but now, he was nowhere to be seen. A lone tear slipped down and she let it fall. She missed him.

Stacy did not know when sleep overtook her senses. She woke up the following morning with the sweet aroma of food assaulting her nose. Instinctively, her stomach grumbled. Sitting up, she saw Miranda sitting comfortably on the coach opposite her bed reading what seemed like a newspaper.

” Good afternoon. I figured out that you haven’t eaten anything so I brought you Early lunch.” Miranda said, looking at Stacy with her usual expressionless face but with a fleeting emotion of indulgence. She was never the one to show her emotions openly. She had no open book.

” Thankyou.” Stacy said sitting up and without wasting time, took the spoon and started to dig in. She was so hungry she could eat a bull. Stacy figured out she must have been sleeping for eight hours or so. She had finished the surgery almost dawn and it was twelve in the afternoon. She felt refreshed and energised after the long sleep. She needed it, her body needed it.

Miranda watched as her friend gulped down the food like she was dying of hunger. ” Slow down! You will choke!” She reminded her but Stacy didn’t seem to hear what was being said to her. She still ate the food like someone was chasing her. The scene before Miranda was comical. The young miss of the Carl’s family and CEO of Hope group of hospitals was eating like an uncultured country bumpkin? It was unbelievable. After she finished the treat, Stacy burped unladylike while rubbing her stomach. ” That was so delicious!” She remarked. ” Was it delicious or were you hungry such that you didn’t realise I made that food?” Miranda mocked mercilessly making Stacy widen her eyes like saucers. No way! No fucking way.

“You are kidding right?” Stacy asked, her face turning that of horror like she just swallowed a handful of flies. Did she just engulf Miranda’s concocted poison and declared that it was delicious? Does that mean she’ll have to stay indoors the whole of today making countless visits to the loo?. Seeing the horrific expressions on her face, Miranda inwardly smirked. She was finding it fun to watch Stacy display these kinds of expressions. She purposely did not respond to prolong the agony in Stacy’s mind.

” Hehehehehe you were just pulling My legs, right?” Stacy asked cautiously while smiling to hide the nervousness in her voice but Miranda just raised her brows and said nothing frustrating Lucia even more.

” Does it matter?” Finally, Miranda opened her mouth and asked her question, throwing Stacy off the hook. What does she mean by if it matters? Ofcourse it matters alot? Stacy could only cry inwardly without shedding any tears. ” I guess it doesn’t but Miranda just be honest with me. Are you the one who cooked that?” She was anxious to know the answer.

“We just have to wait for ten minutes and know the results.” Miranda said with a shrug and her answer rendered Stacy speechless.

” Anyway, I came here for something different. I need to talk to your little boyfriend. I need to discuss something important with him about his security men.” Miranda said seriously, switching to professional mode

” What is it about? Is it something I need to know?” Stacy’s heart was now beating like crazy! Gabriel’s security detail? What could it be? Safe couldn’t help but worry, afterall, he was no longer by her side.

” There is a mole in his security. That’s why the rebels could Trace him easily.” Miranda said seriously

” Now that you say so, I did not see them while the fight was going on neither did they visit him in the hospital .” Stacy said, coming to a realisation. She was so occupied to have noted such a small detail.

” He sent the panic alert after he was surrounded but as his personal bodyguards, they did not appear to protect him, that seems suspicious to me.” Miranda added.

” I would like to discuss this matter with one of his guardians if you don’t mind. He has to be secured. The country is already facing the problem of the rebels and having him kidnapped is the last thing we want. You do know how dangerous he is.” Miranda advised.

” What do you mean by dangerous! Gab is not dangerous, in fact, he’s the most gentle and noble man I have ever said.” Stacy said, coming into his defence. She couldn’t stomach hearing anybody badmouth her man.

” This is not the time to let our personal emotions and feelings cloud our reasoning Stacy. You and I both know that if yesterday the seizure was successful, the country will soon be chaotic. With his brain, he can destroy this country in seconds ” Miranda’s voice was stern while reprimanding Stacy. She couldn’t believe at a time like this, when the security of the whole country was compromised, she would be defending her Man.

” Am sorry!” Upon realising her mistake, Stacy apologised. She knew Miranda was right. With Gabriel’s medical and physics skills, he could turn the world upside down. He had the knowledge to create atomic bombs that could wreak havoc in cities and countries. He was always low key until last year someone discovered his terrific skills and snitched on him. Since then, he was forced to go on hiding. Things had finally started settling down until he was attacked yesterday.

” I need to talk to his family ASAP Stacy. He has to somehow leave the country. Now that his identity has been revealed again, he might start to be hunted down.” Miranda said but looking at Stacy’s dejected face, she halted.

” What’s wrong?” She asked moving to where Stacy was seated and gathered her in her arms”

” He left! Just like that as if I was nothing to him. He did not even wait to see me.” Stacy’s pained voice rang in the room. Miranda was Lost on how to comfort the person in her arms. She was not the one to say comforting words but that didn’t mean she was unfeeling. It was something she developed after her grandfather’s death.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

” It is better that he left.” Her words sounded cruel, but Stacy knew that it was also better that way. What she couldn’t fathom was why he would leave silently without a word, even a simple jow would do. Did that mean that he never felt anything special for her? But she could swear that he would always look at her tenderly. Sometimes, he would be lost just staring at her face and whenever he found out that he was caught staring, he would blush. So why could they just leave like that, like they were practically strangers. They had shared a bed and done things only couples could do. Was the taking responsibility talking all trash or what changed between them. Stacy couldn’t understand. Thinking about all these, she felt like crying but restrained herself from doing so. This was not the time to cry. They had a mission ahead of them. Maybe after the mission, she would then go looking for him and seek an explanation from him, that is if she could ever find him.

” I know.” She replied but her voice sounded like it was covered with a fog of sadness.
