LOVE AGAIN

Prince was screaming on top of his voice scratching his face, his face was damaged beyond recognition.

It was an acid birth after the painful hits from the attackers.

“I can’t see you Angel… are you okay…? Is Zoey Okay!”

He yelled out loud.

Even when he is in pain , he still cared for us

I stood far from him, the sight was unbearable, I fell down crying, covering my mouth to avoid crying out loud so he wouldn’t worry too much.

“My eyes are burning…. I can’t see you Angel!”

INTERMISSION

**BACKSTAGE BEFORE THE ATTACK**

“I have my eyes on them, and got every information from an insider, she’s the one in the picture, I switched the cab driver they ordered , he will drive them right into your hands, remember, disfigure her with that acid bathe bathe, make sure you blind her with the acid , hit the Prince to unconscious and I will take over the rest, I have bigger plans”.

“Yes, I understood”.

“I will pay you double if the job is neat enough”.

“Trust us nah, no be today we dey run this game”.

***AUTHORESS’S POV***

Nonna was seen enjoying her favourite TV show in her hotel room.

She got a call from an unknown number.

Hello mah, we are done with it”.

***PRINCE’S POV**

The pain I suffered was nothing compared to any in my whole life, I felt like I can’t live till the next minute, my face burn so hot that I feel like I was on fire yet this was nothing compared to the one in my heart, I can’t see Val , I can’t see Zoey, it was darkness over my eyes, I could hear voices but I can’t see nothing, not even a low dim light.

I can hear Val, trying to get rid of the media mad crowd as I was carried into the ambulance.

And I felt so broken when she fall on my chest crying, I could imagine her pain too, it would be heartbreaking, she warned me, suddenly I felt her not moving.

“She fainted!”

Someone said, must be one of the paramedics.

“Val!!!”I screamed on top of my voice.

“She is going to be fine sir, please don’t worry, you have to stop screaming”.

I ignored her and kept calling Val’s name.

A door sound slammed shut, I couldn’t help but break down crying.

I can’t see Val, how will I protect her, I was totally helpless in this situation and my head was spinning and hurting.

“Zoey?”

No one answered but the paramedics assuring me that everything will be fine.

They carried me somewhere, I could smell drugs and I guess it’s the hospital. Tears never cease from my blind eyes. I wish it could all be a dream , I closed my eyes and prayed to God then opened it yet I only see nothing but darkness.

I was carried to a bed and I could hear doctors voices around me and all the equipment shattering and then an injection was given to me , I dozed off.

The next morning, I woke up , even though sleeping and waking up are the same thing in this condition. I had a terrible dream last night concerning the accident, Val did not survive.

As soon as I heard the door to my ward opened.

“Val? Please where is my wife? Val!”

“Mr prince, how are you doing today?”

“Who is there?”

I snapped trying to sit up.

“It’s the doctor, I am Sam. , I am sorry I scared you”

He came and held me by the hand and helped sit properly.

“How is Val? it? Where is my sister Zoey? Please tell me they’re okay!”I said looking at the direction I guessed his face could be facing.

“Zoey is awake, same with your wife sir”the doctor replied.

I was a bit at ease but still worried.

“You look worried, should I get them for you?”

“How do I look? Zoey… Is my face that bad…”

I asked trying to cover my face

“No… I mean.. it’s acid scares nothing to be insecure about, I am sure they will see you the same way”he replied.

“It’s okay to call them”I said dryly, my heart racing.

I could hear him open the door then few minutes later the door opened again.

I sat up trying not to tear down

“Angel?”
