Late Husband or Lord Astrid

I opened my eyes to the surroundings of white ceiling and walls and four people looking at me with concern. I was laying on the hospital bed with white sheets covering my body and dim lights accompanied by the sunrays lightening the room.

I took a deep breath in the silence andWhere was my sister? Mia walked closer. She touched my forehead and smiled.

"Fever's gone." She turned around and said to others. My eyes wandered at each of the faces. Mia, who's eyes looked red and puffy — she had cried. Calvin looked equally scared as her, hair still a mess. Alice, who had sadness in her brown orbs, was standing across the wall with her hands folded before her. The man who I didn't know was rather looking differently at me.

Though he was concerned but he seemed to have a doubt in me. He was suspiciously eyeing me as if wanting me to answer his questions which were unasked.

"Yuna...babe." Mia called softly and I looked at her. I was confused and my mind felt foggy with all questions and surroundings.

Where was my sister? What is this different place? Why were they behaving so different? How long has it been? Was this the time after my accident? Then what about Gabriella? Calvin never answered me.

Who are you all...really?

"Are you okay?" Alice's sharp voice broke my train of thoughts and I unknowingly flinched.

"You can talk softly as well!" Mia talked back quickly. Alice rolled her eyes. "How are you feeling?" Mia asked, stroking my hair slowly and smiling fondly at me.

"I'm...okay? What happened to me?" I asked finally not being able to contain anymore. I may as well find at least a little bit about my situation.

"You're just stressed." Calvin replied when Mia started hesitating with her answer. I forced myself to believe since I had nothing else to dwell on and swiftly nodded.

"Can I be alone for sometime? Please?" I looked at each one of them, taking my time; showing through my eyes that I was really fine to be left alone.

Calvin sighed and tapped on Mia's shoulder before they all left with that man still looking me with suspicious gaze and closed the door. I closed my eyes and opened them again to look at the empty ceiling with no fan. Just the AC with mild temperature.

I focused on calming myself at the moment and concentrated on my breathing when I suddenly heard click. Not bothering to open my eyes with the thought that it might the nurse for routine check up or something and they might wake me if necessary, I continued to sleep.

When suddenly, a warm palm slipped under my neck and I snapped my eyes open to see a smirking face staring intensely at me. Before I could scream for any form of help or even throw my hands in defense, I blacked out when he blew his air on my face.

When I woke up again, I found myself in a very unfamiliar and scary place. Scary since it gave very dark vibes. I held my head which kept screaming with a throbbing pain and blinked several times to have more clear vision.

The place was all black, contrast to the hospital. The black bedsheets, the walls covered with back shining marbles, the black marbled floor, the thin black curtain which still managed to push some light inside, the black couch across the long floor to ceiling window having the curtains. Everything made it much more scary. Thankfully the lights were bright enough to shine the marbles.

Where is this place? I should have been cautious and opened my eyes! Maybe that would have saved me. I felt so useless.

The door clicked open and this time I was alert. A man walked in wearing a grey long coat and smiled at me. He had a full smile which lifted his cheeks till his eyes and his expressions were calm. Totally opposite to the guy who blew air on my face.

"Good thing you're awake. Lord will love to see you, right now." He said and walked out.

"Lord who?" I called out.

"Huh?" I stopped and looked back me with, this time his innocent face held a confused frown. "Uhh...Lord Adrian? I'll be back, m'lady." He bowed and left.

I frowned and my eyes went wide with fear. Adrian? How? Which Adrian? My husband?

Will I see him again? Is it the same Adrian? Adrian Ford? 

How is that possible? Just because everything and everyone is changed doesn't bring my husband back. He was dead. And he was never coming back. The foremost reason for my attempt to kill myself was because my strength, my reason to live was no more beside me. 

I eyes teared up with the thought of my husband, his smile, his deep blue eyes which held all the love for me, his dead face after the torture he suffered from. His empty eyes which no longer held any love, nor any warmth.

Who is Adrian here? I was now scared to face what was coming.

The door opened again and the same man walked in with two more men who looked like gaurds wearing armours. He held a quite disturbed face and he was looking everywhere but at me. 

I gulped in fear and tried my best not to look at the two men behind him and kept looking at him, waiting for him to talk.

"Take her." He finally spoke but not to me, to the men who walked towards me and one man held my arms, harshly pulling me away from the bed and the other man joined and held my another arm. 

"What? What's happening? Leave me!" I yelled in utter fear but to no avail. They kept dragging me and I kept screaming for salvation until I was dropped onto the floor. My knees were scraped against the floor and fearful tears rolled down my eyes.

I was scared to even look around until a deep and sharp voice cut through the

silence,

"This isn't how I expected to see you again, Luna."
