A Baby For Billionaire Knox

THEME: Don’t die on me

“Eretia!” Knox Martins screamed as he bounded up the stairs into his home. And his heart broke into pieces when he saw Eretia in the pool of her own blood.

“No.. no.. no..” He rushed to her. “Eretia! Wake up!” His eyes fell on the knife on the floor.

Knox opened her bathrobe and saw the wound on her stomach. He couldn’t believe his eyes. “You can.. hear me.. right? Eretia…” Knox shakes her but her hand dropped. A sob erupted in his throat.

“Please wake up Eretia!” Knox stood up and gather her up in his arms. “Don’t.. die.. on me.” He chanted as he carried her into the car.

And he drove out of the driveway in a close rush.

SAINT PETER HOSPITAL

He saw the body on the stretcher as she was pushed into a ward by the medical team. She looked so familiar, laying lifeless on the stretcher with an oxygen tube on her nose. His gaze moved to the man following the medical team in a rush. Knox Martins. He saw them from the third floor. That woman must be Eretia Jones!

He pushed his way through the patients and nurses to get to the ward with his heart beating rapidly.

“Sir you can’t come in.” A nurse stopped Knox and closed the door.

The medical team set to revive her with machines. Knox Martins stood outside the intensive care unit as fear filled him. Tears set down his eyes as he watched the medical team from the transparent glass on the door. First press on her chest with a shocker, the second and the third. The machine beeped and her heartbeat dropped on a straight line.

The team exchanged glances and Knox already knew what that meant. She can’t die! “No!” He yelped.

Knox barged into the room and rushed to her. The medical team tried to get him out of the room but he overpowered them. “No.. please..” He held on to her tightly.

“Sir.. you have to leave.” Knox Martins struggled with the team.

“Don’t leave.. me.. Eretia.” Knox sobbed.

He couldn’t accept that she was dead! He recalled that she had promised to wait for him but she ended up dying in his home. How? What had happened while he was away at the agency?

Knox tried to catch his breathe with his wild heartbeat. His chest was so badly hurting that he couldn’t bear the pain. “Please.. come back.. to me.” Knox cried.

IN THE MERWORLD

Abijam sat in front of the king Oceanus trying to make connection with Neifion. The ten princes sat in the throne hall all waiting for the sea wizard to make the connection. He closed his eyes and chanted a spell.

The royal family watched the sea wizard in silence. All of a sudden he shook violently. Abijam couldn’t control the wave of power that surged through him. They exchanged confused glances.

“Abijam!” Morrissey called out.

The sea wizard convulsed and they were all confused. “Abijam!” King Oceanus yelled.

Azizi rushed to him. “Abijam! Abijam!” He shakes him up.

The sea wizard heard the faint voices in his head as the royal family gathered around him. A white light appeared and the vision came to him.

Abijam saw Eretia in a pool of blood and a man appeared to save her with tears in his eyes. Humans! He saw them in white robes trying to save the princess and it ended.

Abijam jolted up from the trance. “Are you okay?” Morrissey asked.

The sea wizard glanced around. He was on a bed and King Oceanus looking straight into his eyes.

Abijam relaxed. “What happened?” He asked.

“You passed out during connection.” Morrissey answered.

The sea wizard closed his eyes and the vision flooded his mind’s eye again. “The princess is in trouble.” He said.

“What?” King Oceanus gasped.

“And I think she’ll end up dying in that world.” Abijam said in a sad tone as he narrated to them the vision to the royal family.

Tears set in Azizi eyes at the thought of not seeing Eretia again. “She can’t die in that world.” Azizi said.

“That’s the vision the sea showed to me.” Abijam responded.

“We need Almeta.” Morrissey coaxed.

“She has to return home.” Prince Colbert added.

King Oceanus exhaled roughly. “Abijam, isn’t there a way to save her from our world?” He demanded.

The sea wizard was silent. “Say something.. Abijam.” Azizi said impatiently.

“CHANTARA.” The sea wizard muttered with his eyes closed.

“CHANTARA?” The royal family repeated in unison.

“Yes.” The sea wizard reopened his eyes.

“But why chantara?” Morrissey asked.

“Chantara is the only way to save our princess in that world. And we have to do it quick.” Abijam responded.

“Do we transport the moon water into that world?” Azizi questioned.

“No.” Abijam replied.

“Please Abijam, go straight to the point. We don’t have much time to waste.” King Oceanus said in a slightly raised tone.

“We’ll make connection with her through chantara the moon water since Neifion can’t be reached. And chantara will revive Neifion and our princess.” Abijam replied as he sat up slowly.

“Azizi, do you have one in your treasure box?” Oceanus asked.

“I’ll find it.” Azizi replied. Slowly he swims out of the chambers.

“What else do you need?” Queen Alana demanded.

“Wanwisa and I will make the connection. Don’t worry about anything else.” Abijam responded.

“Colbert summon Wanwisa to the throne hall.” King Oceanus ordered.

“Okay father.” Colbert swims off.

Oh great seaC0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

I come to thee today

With the chantara, the moon water in my hands

To revive the princess.

Abijam chanted the spell with his hands locked with Wanwisa. She repeated the same spell.

They chorused in a loud tone.

Oh great sea

Go into the human world

And revive the chosen one!

The sea wizard released Wanwisa. His hands began to glow brightly with powers sparking in his palms. And Abijam set it in the Chantara bowl. White sparks shot out of their fingertips into the water.

The sea wizard shook violently. Wanwisa felt the shock wave of power that radiated out of Abijam.

“Revive the princess!” The sea wizard screamed.

Instantly the glowing light moved up and went out of the sea into the human world.
