JAMES POV

I close my eyes to relax for a while, "F*ck'' I rubbed my penny. My headache from the amount of papers I read and signed. It's like a mini Mountains in my table, and I am less than half of the files I finished. I'm sure I'm going home late again after this, fortunately I don't have a scheduled meeting today.
I press the intercom connected to my secretary, "Bring me a cup of coffee now." As I command my secretary.
"Ok Sir right away." After a few minutes I heard a knock from my office door.
"Come in." I said.
"Here's your coffee Sir." She immediately put the cup of coffee on my table and went out.
I immediately take a sip of my coffee and It makes me feel good and relaxed. As I continue reading and signing the papers.
I just finished the final and last folder when my phone rang randomly. I looked at the caller first before I took the call. The call from overseas.
"Yes, WHAT!? OK I'm coming now." I stood up from what I heard on the other line. I hung up the call, then I called my secretary and ordered her.
"Prepare my private plane immediately. I'm going back to the Philippines right now." I got out of my office.
"Cancel all my meetings and appointments tell them I have an emergency, just email me the important details." I ordered her and hurriedly took my private elevator up to the rooftop of the building.
The chopper and the pilot are ready when I arrive. I will use the chopper to the airport. Where the private plane is waiting.
I WASTE no time, I immediately got off from my private plane when it landed at NAIA. And moving to another chopper, we only spent ten minutes in the air.
The chopper landed on SCC's rooftop.
I quickly took the elevator and I pressed the L bottom. The guards were even more surprised to see me.
"Good Morning Sir James." But they immediately greeted me, I only nodded in response to them. It's already three thirty five in the morning. I got out of the building and my car was waiting for me to take me to the hospital.
"MOM, Dad!" I saw them sitting as Dad hugged Mom outside the operating room. I immediately approached them and my mommy immediately hugged me,
"James your brother." Mom moaned as she told me. Daddy just tapped me on the shoulder.
"Don't worry mom, he will be OK. He is strong, he is a fighter, he can survive. Trust HIM mom and trust your son too." I told her while caressing mommy's back, and I guided her to seat.
After a few minutes the Dr. appears from the OR. "The patient is already safe now, He will be transferred to the ICU soon. He will stay there first to monitor thoroughly until he becomes stable and can be transferred to a private room. With this kind of accident, It's really a miracle that he survived it."
"Thank you Doc." We once said to Dr. Before he left.
Later on my brother was also coming with the help of the nurses to be transferred to the ICU,
"F*ck sh*t!" I couldn't help but curse and I clasped my hands. It was as if my heart was broken when I saw him. His arms and legs and the head were bundege. Four nurses helped bring my brother into the room.
"My son Hon, James your brother. Oh God." Mommy cried again. The pain in my chest burst seeing my mother.
"Shh, Hon, he will be okay. Our son is a fighter." My dad said to my mom while caressing her too.
The three nurses had already stepped out from the ICU, but the other nurse stayed still. I noticed she looked at her patient carefully first. As if making sure it was okay, one more glance before she came out. I was just staring at her.
"I like her." I heard mommy say, daddy and I looked at mom. She's beautiful and sexy, she looks so young in her early twenties.
"I want her to take care of my son." I heard mom say it again.
"Miss." So I called the nurse the last one who came out. She immediately turned to me.
"Yes Sir, what is that?" Her voice is obviously tired.
"What's your Name?" I asked her.
"I'm Shaina Alcantara, sir. Do you need anything?" She answered me in surprise.
"For now nothing, just wanna say thank you. But maybe later my mom will need you."
"Amm all right Sir, I'm leaving now." She said goodbye. I saw sadness in her eyes and I even felt it also in her voice.
After a while, I told them to go home first and to be able to rest as well. It's already five in the morning.
I also went home to my parents' house. After that, I missed my room for almost six years and now I can sleep in my room again.
I took a quick shower before going to bed, to make me feel relaxed. Cuz I really feel exhausted. And I easily fall asleep.
I woke up when I felt the heat of the sunlight on my face. The sun is high so it hurts a little on the skin. It's already one in the afternoon when I look at the time on my phone.
I immediately got up and went straight to the bathroom. I moved fast, because I still had to go back to the hospital.
I went straight to the kitchen when I got down. I immediately took a tumbler and brewed coffee. I only drink it in the car.
I sip my coffee when the red lights are on. "The traffic has not changed, still heavy." I just whispered to myself. And because of the heavy traffic I immediately ran out of my coffee without realizing it.
It was also about an hour before I got to the hospital. I immediately went to the ICU, good thing I was able to enter but that was only for a few minutes.
Then I asked the Dr. about his condition. His vital signs are ok, just waiting for him to wake up. And will be transferred immediately to a private room.
I apologised to the Dr. When I heard my phone ringing.
Dad called.
"Yes dad?" As I answered.
"James son where are you at now? Are you at home or not?" It immediately asked me.
"No dad, I'm already here at the hospital" I said to him.
"Can you come here to the office after you get there?" He said.
"OK I'm on my way now dad." I said and bid goodbye to the Dr.
I already drove my car to SCC. I immediately went inside the building, the employees did not shut to greet me. I never look at them. I just went straight to the private elevator.
I immediately went to my brother's office where my father was waiting. I saw his secretary outside of his office, where his table was located. She greeted me immediately when seeing me.
I knock on the door three times before I enter the room. Then I saw my father sitting there. I saw a lot of folders on top of the table. I immediately approached him with a kiss on his head.
"Son, you will be in charge of the company here while your brother is still in the hospital. I know you are also busy with our company in the U.S. and
In the Middle East. But I need you here now, you know your mom. I can't be separated from her right now." His face became sad when she mentioned my mommy.
"The board already knows. I already informed them." As he continues.
"It's Ok dad, I'm already used to it. All you have to do is to stay beside mom." I assured him.
And we talked a lot before going home.
I went to the mall first, and I need to buy some suits. I was about to go to the counter when I saw a lady. She's on her way to the kids section which is just a connection of the men's section. I can't take my eyes off her. She looks so beautiful and sexy. Simple but it makes her look gorgeous. And I feel something strange about her. My heart beats so fast, I don't understand.
I couldn't help myself but to follow her, then I saw her picking a kid's polo and shorts. And she went to the counter after. And now I'm here, next to her. I smell her scent that makes my chest throb even more. But I was suddenly depressed when I saw a man's clothes on her arm hanging.
I saw her open her bag and take her wallet and look inside. Then she looked around as if looking for someone. 'Sh*t looking for her husband, maybe.' As I thought.
"Any problem Miss?" I couldn't help but ask myself.
She suddenly turned to me. That I was just 'Oh', she was even more beautiful up close. She really looks like a Greek goddess descending from the olympus. I also stared at her for a while, she really looks familiar. I just do not remember where I saw her. But I know, I feel it.
"Miss?" I call her again when I notice that she also seems stunned. "N-No Nothing." She said, a little stunned. And she turned her attention to the cashier. Who is looking at me and smiling.
"Lucky b*stard" I couldn't help but say softly, but I knew it reached her ears.
She left immediately after paying. I just followed her gaze.
"Sir it's your turn." As the cashier called my attention.
