YASMIN'S POV-

"She is, what is it" I raised a brow in question.

After a moment of silence John sighed heavily, as if hold back what he was prepared to say.

"Norah... " He started, his voice so low, one would mistake it for a whisper, he crossed his arms avoiding eye contact as he continued.

"The scans show that womb is a no longer strong enough to bear a child"

"Huh?" Norah glanced at me as though she had misheard.

" You can no longer birth children as you womb is has been permanently damaged by the series of miscarriage" John emphasized.

Shi*

Non of us spoke as we just stared at each other, speechless.

"I want to be left alone" Norah requested, biting her lips.

I gazed at John who beckoned me to follow him out.

"We shouldn't have left her, what if she does something to herself" I said as soon as we sat on the waiting chair at the corridor of her room.

"Is that a hickey" He asked, catching me out guard.

"Yes it is" I replied outrightly.

My friends knew about my lifestyle and job, infact they supported whatever stupid thing I did, they have no choice but to even when I don't act on their advises.

"A one night stand?" He asked further.

"With Owen Wells"

John's jaw dropped instantly, he gazed at me suspiciously.

"We'll talk about you doing dinner tonight, what should we do about Norah-"

His eyes shifted from me to glare into the distance, following the direction of his eyes I could sight of Liam James, the demon.

He was an actor and the son of a politician, spoilt, damaged beyond repair, just a bloody demon, should he even be called a man?

Let's all call a spade a spade, urg.

He strutted through corridor like he owned the place with an air of arrogance, he wore his pride like a perfume.

The moment he was close enough, he ignored our presence and was about to enter Norah's room.

"Don't you dare" John now stood, blocking his path with an stoic expression.

Liam took a bold threatening step, John wasn't a tall man but he was a ruthless wrestler with a hot temper.

The moment I blinked he was already grabbing Liam's collars, eyeing him warningly.

If matters escalated, one would be admitted to the hospital and the other in prison

I stood up to intervene immediately.

"Gina make sure to alert the security men to be on standby " John ordered the nurse who was passing by.

John was from a family of reputable doctors, his family owned a lot of hospitals around the globe and he was a director here, he's also a general surgeon however he rarely treated people or attended to patients, he pretty much followed his dream of being an international boxer.

Liam was the first to throw a punch, as if predicting his moves John avoided the attack smoothly and made a counterattack.

Later he shoved Liam to the floor and pounced on him, raining punches on him, unleashing his fury he bottled up all the while.

I didn't even bother to interrupt, infact I enjoyed seeing that scumbag have a test of his own medicine.

Brats like Liam needed factory resets and corrections.

A short while later, Norah opened the door.

"STOP it John!" Norah yelled at as she stood at the door with a horrified expression, seeing the scene unfolding before her eyes.

John paused, standing up he went to Norah.

"You're supposed to be resting " he spoke politely, feeling her cheeks.

I glanced at the man on the floor with a detoured face, full of bruises, wounds, looking closer I think he nose was broken_

As he opened his mouth groaning in pain I noticed a chipped tooth.

He's quite strong to have survived all those punches.

Norah skirted around John to have a better look at Liam.

As she circled Liam who laid helplessly on the floor groaning in pain her hands clenched into a tight fist, I guess she was holding back.

"Why are you here" She asked as if clueless.

It was obvious he came to say sorry for being ' emotional ' honey.

"I'm sorry my love" he mumbled in-between he grunts.

Norah helped him up gently and embraced him tightly.

"I so sorry for everything, please will you forgive me? " he asked.

John shook in head in disappointment while I rolled my eyes in irritation.

"Only if you forgive and forget what my friend did to you now" Norah responded.

John glared at Liam who flashed him a taunting smile, just as he took a step forward Norah released Liam from the embrace.

"I forgive him and won't be pressing charges" said Liam meekly to have Norah beaming.

"Wonderful" she remarked.

"What about the baby" Liam asked in a caring manner that irked me.

What a pretender...

I see what he's a reputable actor.

"We lost the baby, Liam" Norah replied calmly while caressing his cheeks in an affectionate manner.

The level of composure and coolness she displayed right now was incomparable to that madness she showed minutes ago, something told me she was up to something.

The truth was that I have always known Norah to be a coolheaded logical person until she married the devil's incarnate, everything about her changed but now she looked familiar.

"Are you alright, did you cry?"

"You fucker! her eyes are bloody red, you blind?" I sneered at Liam.

Liam gave me a disdainful stare in response.

"Go ahead and have your wound treated sweetheart I'll handle them"

Said Norah as she glanced us.

After Liam left she sauntered back into her room and we followed her in.

"Norah, What was the meaning of that" John asked immediately.

"I forgave my husband and we good"

She responded nonchalantly, taking a seat on the edge of the bed.

"have you finally lost you M I N D!" He raised his voice while fuming.

"I said I forgave him doesn't mean I meant it, I have the right to not mean what I say" She grinned.

"The devil tells you what you want to hear and does the opposite in terms of actions"

"I'm ready to be the devil, dearies" she spoke clearly in an unhinged way before cracking a full smile.

My heart could explode with joy and satisfaction right now.

Patting her head, I said, proudly "Good to have you back Norah"

"What changed your mind all of a sudden, milady" John chimed in, enthusiastically.

"An eye for an eye, A damage for a damage" Norah mused.

"He took my love, I'll take his, he ruined my reputation, I'll ruin his, he ruined my body figure I'll ruined his, he cheated I'll cheat, he damaged my only hope to have children I'll have his illegitimate children gone and his only hope of having children taken too"

At surface level her words seemed petty but her voice echoed with determination.

"Was the last part necessary?" John asked carefully.

"He's going to feel pain I felt, the suffering he put me through" she replied, dryly.

At this point I might shade tears of joy, this was so touching to witness.
