For you my dear, I can go against the world. So what it is to go in the Beast's cave to sacrifice myself to save you from the cruel world.
-RainRAIN POV
How does it feels when your whole world comes crashing down. That one phone call had made my heart beating faster as I raced through the roads never caring about the traffic lights or the speed board.
My Amber! Her face, her smile, her tears and everything else. All the sweet memories were coming in front of my eyes. Like the first time when she was handed to me after two months of serious observation, how she wrapped her tiny fingers around my middle finger.
Or how the first time she walked or played in the park. How we use to sneak in the kitchen at night under the nose of Nana to eat ice cream. It was all coming back.
"Amber is fine Rain. She is your daughter, she is a brave girl.", I said to myself as I drove through the streets.
She has to be alright. Their is so much for us to do and accomplish. Oh god, if ever I have made a mistake punish me for it but don't make my child suffer. Please God, please.
"Amber Carter.", I said in a small voice to the receptionist. My voice was hoarse and quivering. I never wanted to come to a hospital again and definitely not to meet my daughter. The smell of medicines always made me want to puke. I couldn't bare the sight seeing my three year old in ICU.
"Ma'am! Hello?", the receptionist asked definitely confused. I was too deep in my thoughts to have listened to her voice.
"Yes.", I said looking in her direction now providing her with my full attention.
"May I know your relationship with Ms. Amber?", she asked in a business like tone.
"I am her mother.", I replied politely. She nodded her head and then furiously typed something on the computer.
"Second floor, third corridor, emergency segment.", she replied in a monotone.
I quickly took the stairs and dashed to the second floor. I looked for a direction chart but it was confusing and time consuming so I asked one of the ward boys.
"Sir can you tell me in which direction is the emergency room?", I asked a boy with pimples decorating his face.
"Just take a right and go straight.", he said dismissing me.
I muttered a quick thank you and followed his directions. On my way I could see different types of people and families. Some were anxious to know what was wrong with them. Others were grieving at the loss of their loved ones and some others had tears of happiness after knowing that their loved ones were safe.
Soon I could make out two figures siting anxiously outside the ICU. One was my nana who was saying most probably scolding herself and other one was my nanu who was gently supporting his wife.
I went to both of them. As soon as they saw me they stood up. Now seeing the broken expression on the face of my Nana I could not hold back my tears.
"What's wrong wi-ith her?", I asked in between of my sobs. Nana pulled me in her chest. This was what I needed at that moment. Just some warmth to my cold heart.
Once I have calmed down I looked at nanu expecting an answer to my previous question.
"The doctor is not ready to tell anything at this moment.", nanu said to me and I nodded my head in understanding.
After that he explained me everything from how she fainted while playing in the home and her pulses could be barely felt to the doctors rushing her to the ICU.
The only good part was that Dr. Khan who was handling Amber and my cases from the very beginning was handling this case right now. Thus it meant he knew a lot about Amber and it would be easy for him to operate her.
As still no news of Amber was available, I contacted Sam to inform him about everything because hiding something like this from Sam was not a wise idea. Also he was good at providing moral support.
Soon he arrived at the hospital and pulled me in a bear hug.
"Amber is going to be alright doll.", Sam whispered in my ears.
I really hope so Sam. I really hope so.
The time was passing painfully slow. Doctors were not ready to say anything. What could be so wrong with my baby? I was not even allowed to see her.
Sam squeezed my shoulder in a reassuring way. I passed him a weak smile. Their was nothing more I could do. I can't be weak. I need to stay strong for everyone.
Soon Dr. Khan came out and cleared his throat. He looked towards me in recognition.
"We are in some serious problem Ms. Carter.", he addressed to me.
"What is wrong with Amber?", I questioned him.
He sighed and ran a hand through his hair.
"Ms. Amber have some sick amenia cells in her spine. It is degrading the bone marrow in her spine. We need to perform a bone marrow transplant as soon as possible.", Dr. Khan explained making a sympathetic face.
Bone marrow transplant that too of my daughter. Oh my God. My poor baby is to suffer so much.
"Is it because she was born premature?", I questioned him.
"Maybe yes but maybe because of genetics.", he replied.
It is my fault my baby is suffering. It is all my fault.
"We don't have much time. We need to quickly perform the bone marrow transplant. For this we will need the bone marrow of the father or mother.", he stated.
"I can give the bone marrow.", I stated. Their was no way I would let her father help us.
The doctor looked at me and then went deep in his thoughts as if analysing something. But what he said next was not something I was expecting.
"Your body is too weak Ms. Carter for the operation. Bone marrow removal is not something your body would take fairly well. We will prefer the father's bone marrow.", Dr. Khan explained the current situation.
Cold beads of sweat started forming on my forehead. How will I do that.
"Is there no other way around?", Sam questioned.
I looked at Dr. Khan expectedly. Maybe he would say yes there is another way. I was ready to do anything but asking Damien was out of box.
All my hopes were shattered when the doctor shook his head.
"What ever you need to do make it quick. We don't have much time.", he told me while I stared at him.
"Can I meet her?", I asked hopefully. Meeting my bundle of joy would definitely make me stronger.
"I am sorry. You can't meet her right now. She is under observation."
Saying this Dr. Khan turned to leave.
"What should we do now?"
Nana's loud voice made me flinch. What should we do now? This was no question. The question should have been, how we do it now.
"I will make Damien Black come here.", I stated with determination.
"How will you do that Rain?", Sam questioned.
"He is a beast. He had no emotions. He would never help you even for the sake of his own blood and flesh.", nanu said.
Maybe they all were right. Maybe he would never be ready to help. But for my daughter I would do it. Even if I need to be on my knees, begging to him, I would do it in a heart beat. Anything for my daughter. Anything for her life.
It was currently 10 o'clock. How did the night passed, no one knows. Waiting for any news about Amber. Anxiously waiting to meet my daughter. The night passed some how and now I was standing in front of Black Enterprise.
The building looked the same but the receptionist was different.
"I need to meet Damien Black.", I stated in a hurry.
"Ma'am do you have an appointment?", she asked me but I had no time for a conversation.
"Listen, I have no appointment with him but my meeting him is very important. My daughter's life depends on this meeting.", I practically begged her as tears gathered in my eyes thinking about my daughter. Why couldn't I be stronger?
She passed me a look of sympathy then called someone. After some hush whispers she nodded to me as I dashed to his room.
It took me exactly five minutes to reach his cabin. I took a deep breath and them knocked thrice on the door.
"Come in."
Came his deep voice. I took another deep breath and twisted the knob. There was he sitting behind his desk directly looking at me.
"You have five minutes.", he said with an emotionless face.
The time when he slapped me played in my memories and I mentally flinched. What if he does that again. I shook my head and started.
"My name is Rain. Four years ago I told you that I was pregnant with your daughter. I was not lying to you and right now as we talk, she is in the hospital fighting from death. Please, she is in immense need of your bone marrow.", I completed while a traitor tear slipped down my cheek. My baby can't die.
He got up from his chair and stretched his arms. Then he lazily asked me,"Why should I trust you?"
"Please right now I have nothing to make you trust me but at least get the DNA test done. Please it is for the sake of my daughter.", I begged him.
"So it is a girl.", he stated thoughtfully.
I simply nodded my head.
I have to make him up. He has to come me. How so ever.
I was so deep in thought that I didn't realize that he has moved closer to me. He was extremely tall. More than a foot taller than me.
I just prayed he didn't feel mistreating me again. Because this time I would have no choice.
Just like six years ago with him.
"I don't understand if you care so much about your daughter then why you are here?", Damien asked coldly.
Because she is even your child imbecile.
"I.."
Before I could say anything Damien cut me.
"Or you are just another slut who is here for my money. No care for her daughter. Just here so that the paparazzi follows us and you can gain popularity.", he stated accusingly.
My mouth was ajar.
Did he think so low of me?
"Please just come with me and get the DNA test done. I am not lying."
I joined my hands and begged him as tears continuously fell down from my eyes.
He sighed as he rubbed his temples.
His face was stoic so I didn't know if he was annoyed.
He brought his hand up and I flinched back and closed my eyes waiting for the impact.
But it never came.
Instead he gently placed his on my left cheek. I immediately opened my eyes at the foreign touch.
He was wiping my tears with his thumb. I was shocked at his action.
"You cry way too much woman. So weak and so easily breakable.", he said the last part softly.
"So you will be with me?", I asked hopefully and he nodded his head.
I sighed in relief.
I am coming my baby. Just hold on.
"Let's go.", I said hurriedly. But Damien didn't even move a millimetre.
"Wait.", he called out.
I turned around never meeting his eyes and just looking at his clothed chest.
"But I have a condition.", Damien stated. My heart started pounding harder. I just nodded my head. My throat was too tight to say anything.
"If you are proved wrong then you will spend a night with me.", Damien stated.
"Alright.", I stated.
I wasn't worried because I knew I wasn't wrong but still a thought lingered in my mind, why is he like a puzzle?
Also is he really the person I gave my virginity to?
We all made mistakes and the life is always about a second chance because we have just one life.-DamienDAMIEN POVI looked at the girl sitting next to me on the passenger seat. Her platinum blonde hair were sticking on her face at weird angles. Rare colour of hair I must add. If I have forgotten her face or those haunting blue eyes then I should be lying. A part of me hated seeing tears in her doe eyes. But I am the beast for a reason.Her petite figure was trembling. Her eyes were closed as she was continuously murmuring something.If she is so worried about her daughter then why like a slut is she behind me.I never meant to slap her that day but I couldn't stop myself. I was beyond enraged w
I will hide you from the world so that when the moon shines I can worship you. - DamienDAMIEN POVI opened my eyes to find myself in the hospital bed. I looked around the room but I saw no one. I ringed the buzzer next to me and soon a nurse came in."Ye-es Sir?", the nurse asked with panic evident in her eyes. Maybe she didn't expect me to wake up so early.It has started to annoy me."How long was I out?", I directly asked her."For about twenty eight hours.", the nurse whispered."How is Amber?", I asked her."The operation went successful. She will be fine soon.", the nurse told me.
A rejection doesn't kill you it makes you stronger.-RainRAIN POVI jumped in Karl's arm as soon as he entered inside the room. God he was finally here. His body was warm as I collided my cold body against his warm one.But he was not as warm as Damien. My eyes widened at that thought.Why was I thinking like that?"Karl.... ", I started but I pulled back by someone. I didn't need to look back to find out he was Damien.God why is he the way he is? I felt his grip tightened around my waist and I shall be truthful that it hurt. I started trashing but he didn't even bulge. What does he eats, cement and bricks?"Damien you are hurting me.", I cried and it was then that he came out of his trance. He loosen his hold on my waist but never let go. I looked in front to see Karl shaking like a leaf.
My tears don't make me weak they just show how strong am I to let my emotions our and display it to the world. -RainRAIN POVIt's been two weeks since Karl broke up from me. I will be truthful about it and still hurts. I thought he was stronger then that. It has also been two weeks since I last saw the face of Damien Black. He is gone for some business work. For now life is peaceful.Amber is also recovering rapidly and she had shown great signs of improvement. Everything is getting on track and I just hope that Damien would leave us.Buy I some how know he won't.I sighed as I ran my hand through my hair. Men can be so difficult at times.I felt someone tapping my hand and it was then I lifted my glaze to see Amber pouting and wanting her momma's atten
It's always difficult to make a new start but a smile can make it better.-RainRAIN POVIt's been one month since Amber has been in the hospital and today she is going to be discharged. But the bad part is that I won't be going back to my home rather we are going to Damien's place. All of Amber and my stuff has already been transferred to Damien's house.I looked at my daughter to see her jumping on the bed. She is way to excited to go back home but she doesn't know the twist."Sit down baby or you are going to fall.", I said to Amber as I pulled her down, making her sit. She gave me pout and I chuckled at her cuteness.I looked behind me to see Nana entering the room. She looked paler than usual and I very well know the reason. Her daughter and grand daughter were moving out with a dangerous man.
I am a Beast. I live in the dark, I hunt in the dark and I always want to stay in the dark.-DamienDAMIEN POVI looked back to see Dante standing on the door. Why can't on Earth I can spend some quality time with Amber?"What's wrong?", I hissed."Boss all the unde-erbosses are wait-ting for you in the study.", Dante stammered. Freaking pup!"Go back I will be there in a while.", I told him. Dante gave me a curt nod before running off.I felt someone tapping my cheek. I looked ahead to see Amber was softly patting my cheek. I sighed."Come let me show you your room before I go for a meeting.", I said to Rain.She nodded her head and got up. I picked up Amber in my arms and luckily this time she didn't protest. She let me carry her and I couldn't be more glad.
Try to look the world from someone else perception and you will see how different is this world.-RainRAIN POVI looked at Damien to see him nearing the bed. The bed looked to small in his comparison. I have truly never seen a man this big. He sat on the edge of the bed as his large hands went to stroke Amber's cheek."Wake up princess.", Damien said softly as removed the curtain of Amber's hair from her face. He whispered so softly as if he feared to scare her."Wake up Amber.", he murmured softly but Amber didn't even move. I felt like chuckling at that moment but I kept my mouth shut.A frown etched on his forehead as he found that his efforts were going to vain. Poor Damien!"She is a heavy sleeper. Try using some force. I assure you she won't break.", I told him. God it was so difficult to keep my laug
It is in me what I conceal and those feelings that never reveal.-RainRAIN POVI walked in the park with Amber. It was evening time and suspiciously the park looked empty. I frowned but I didn't pay much attention to it as we walked deeper in the park.Soon we came to a stop near a lake. The scenery was breath taking. The water was blue and crystal clear. There were trees surrounding the lake. Birds have flocked on the trees and we're chirping.I looked down to see my daughter looking at everything with awe. Her grey eyes were bright and lively. She let go of my finger as she moved forward."Do you like it baby?", I asked Amber and she nodded her head.She turned around in my direction and pointed to the ball. I nodded my head as we started to play c
