Butterfly and the CEO
Chapter 24
Ellie’s point of view
I wake up in Zac’s arms after a peaceful nights sleep with no nightmares; Zac smiles at me when I open my eyes as he says.
“Goodmorning beautiful.”
I giggle as I reply.
“Good morning babe, were you watching me sleep?”
He laughs.
Butterfly and the CEOChapter 25Ellie’s Point of view.“Fuck my head.”I moan before I finally manage to prise my eyes open. My head hurts so bad that I try to focus so I can see where I am. I’m lying on an old mattress on the floor in a room with no windows, I try to sit up, but it makes me feel sick and dizzy.“What the hell happened? Where am I?”I try to remember…..I was in the car with Issac, and there was a crash ….. And.“Ohhh, Noooo Sam…” I gasp.

As he hits me over and over again, I can feel the blood pouring down my face as I begin to feel dizzy, and I beg him.“Sam, please stop, please don't do this.”He spits in my face as he rages.“Your nothing but a useless fucking slut; I
Butterfly and the CEOChapter 27Zac’s point of view.I run with Ellie in my arms; when I get outside the warehouse, the emergency services have already arrived, and I carry her to one of the waiting ambulances. We head off to the hospital, the blue lights flashing, not that I need a reminder of how desperate Ellie’s condition is.They try to stop the bleeding from Ellie’s head as they radio ahead.“We have a code red coming in.” They say.
Butterfly and the CEOChapter 28Zac’s point of view.I hold my breath as I walk into the intensive care room; my heart breaks when I see her. She looks so tiny in that hospital bed surrounded by wires and machines, her face so swollen that I can barely recognise her. The nurse pulls out a chair for me as she says.“Sir, you can take a seat next to the bed; I’ll be at the desk if you need me,”I nod my head before I ask the nurse.“Can I hold her hand?”She smiles as she replies.&nbs
Butterfly and the CEOChapter 29Ellie’s point of view.I try to open my eyes; why the hell is it so bright? Where am I?I turn my head and cry when I see my Mum. I must have died, and my Mum has come for me. She holds me tight as I cry, singing to me as she runs her fingers through my hair, just like she used to do when I was a child.My Mum died when I was just fourteen leaving my older brother to bring me up, she was my mum and my best friend, and I miss her s
Butterfly and the CEOChapter 30Zac’s point of view.When I walk back into the room, Ellie is now sitting in a chair; I smile as I lean over to kiss the top of her head as I whisper.“Hey, look at you.”Her eyes light up as she replies.“Who would have thought, sitting
Butterfly and the CEOChapter 31Ellie’s point of view.It’s Friday morning, and Zac and I are waiting in my hospital room for the nurse to bring my discharge papers, so we can finally go home. We decided to go back to Zac’s apartment for a few weeks rather than his house, as there are no stairs once we are inside. There is a knock on the door; as the nurse pops her head around the corner, she smiles as she looks at us both before she says.“Here you go, Ellie; I think that you have everything that you need.

Butterfly and the CEOChapter 32Ellie’s Point of view.I wake up in the morning with a heavy head, and when I open my eyes, a migraine hits me with full force. I groan. God, I hate these things.Zac looks at me with a concerned face as he asks.“Are you okay, Baby?”I groan again, keeping my eyes closed as I say.
