THREE WEEKS AGO (in the hospital)…

Tiana's eyes were closed as she lay on the bed. She had tried to sleep but the pain in her heart was too much to bear, she couldn't bring sleep to her eyes. She would be lying if she said she didn't think of committing suicide, at least all this pain would go away.

She didn't even know where to start her life from, everything had turned upside down. How would she go back to that house knowing that she would never see Nicklaus again?

When morning came, Diana and Gwen made sure she had something to eat and made sure she took her medications, but no matter what they said to her she didn't say a word to them. She just stared mutely into space.

Finally, they left her alone in the room but made sure the guards were there to guard her. It was 8pm in the evening when Tiana heard someone walking around in the room; she had switched off the lights because she didn't want to see anything, it felt safer in the darkness. She looked into the darkness and to the source of the sound but she didn't see a thing.

''Who is there? '' her brows creased, wondering if Diana or Gwen had stepped in. Turning to her side, she switched on the lights but she didn't see anyone. Tiana looked around for a moment before she put off the light and lay back on the bed. 

There was no-one, it seemed the pain has started messing with her brain, she had started hallucinating.

After about five minutes, she heard the noise again but this time before she could do anything, a hand came over her mouth, Tiana's eyes widened when she felt a hand on her mouth, she tried to scream, but the voice she heard next, made her freeze on her spot.

''Beautiful, it's me. '' Her face paled with shock.

Nick… Nicklaus? Nicklaus was alive!

He slowly let go of her mouth and she turned to him in shock.

''Baby… '' Her hands held his face as she felt him in the darkness, even if she wasn't seeing him, she knew what he felt like, and just one touch of his face, she knew it was him. ''you're alive, oh god, you're alive. ''

Tears flowed from her eyes and she leaned to him, kissing him all over his face;

''Do you know how worried I was? You made me cry! You made me cry a lot! '' Tiana whimpered as she kissed him. Nicklaus hugged her, kissing her cheeks.

''I'm so sorry; I wish I could come earlier, but I just woke up this afternoon in a little house, owned by an old man. He had saved me from the water, while he was fishing, i don't think he knew who I was, that is why no-one knew I was still alive. ''

Tiana turned to put on the light so she could see his face but he stopped her hand;

''I don't want anyone to know that I'm alive yet. '' The window blinds were open, someone passing could see;

Tiana's eyes widened in the darkness, ''why? ''

Nicklaus paused; ''I have a plan, a plan that would take Catherine and Douglas down for good. ''

Tiana's ears arched; ''really? ''

She asked but just when he was about to reply, the door to the hospital ward clicked open and Diana walked in;

''Tiana, oh, why did you switch off the lights? '' she asked walking towards the bed. Her feet stopped instantly when she perceived a different scent in the room;

Tiana was lying on the bed, and she looked like she was sleeping, but that scent was very distinct as though someone had been there.

She switched on the lights in the room instantly and looked around but she saw no-one. Her brows creased and they fell on Tiana on the bed but she was fast asleep_ or so she looked.

She was about to walk out of the room when suddenly she paused and looked to the bathroom door, it had a slither of opening on it, her brows creased and she walked to it, pushing the door open.

Diana's lips fell open when she saw the person leaning on the sink, with his arms crossed in front of him;

''Nick… Nick... '' she was about to scream when she saw him place his finger over his mouth as though telling her to keep quiet.

Diana gulped down her scream and turned to Tiana on the bed and that moment, she saw her sitting upright.

She didn't say a word, but the words 'what the hell!!' was written all over her face.

''Shut the blinds and lock the door '' Nicklaus said and Diana nodded, walking to the window she did exactly what he said and she turned back to them,

Nicklaus walked out of the bathroom and sat down beside Tiana on the bed,

Diana was still in shock.

''How… how are you alive? '' she asked after a moment of confusion,

''I just woke up from a coma, a poor old man saved me and he couldn't take me to the hospital thankfully, so I have been sleeping in his little house.''

Diana's eyes widened, how is that anything to be thankful for?

But anyways she was very glad that he was not dead, at least she would not worry about Tiana killing herself anymore.

''Thank God you are alive, but you need to run some tests to be sure that there's nothing wrong in your system. ''

She said but Nicklaus shook his head; ''I don't want anyone to know that I'm alive yet, ''

Diana's brows creased with worry; ''um… Douglas would come after the company soon and Tiana might be in danger, ''

''I have a plan, just don't tell anyone that you've seen me, ''

Diana stared at him for a second and then she nodded; ''Okay, I won't. '' She wasn't sure what his plan was but she knew it was nothing else than to take down Douglas. 

Her eyes widened when she remembered Michael.

''Nicklaus, this might not be the best time, but I really need to tell you something. ''

She said, going to sit down on an empty spot on the bed. She wasn't sure she was going to see him again.

''What is it? '' Nicklaus asked, creasing his brows.

''it's about Michael Wills, I think you really need to know something''
