LOGINEden’s Point of ViewTears wet my lashes as we pushed him into the Operating Room, he seemed to have passed out, probably from hypovolemic shock.“We need to begin a blood transfusion, right away.” I told the nurses. “Make provisions from the blood bank.”“Dr. Eden, I don’t think you should be doing this.” Felicia said as she grabbed my shoulders. “Let Dr. Johnson take this one.” She advised, and even though she was looking out for me, I felt insulted by this statement. “This is my specialty, the bullet is lodged in his chest, I can get it out.” I said with confidence. “Please unhand me.”“I know you can do it, there is hardly anyone whose skills match yours, but you are trembling right now, you mustn’t hold the scalpel.” She declared calmly. “We will make sure we save your husband, please wait outside.”My eyes flickered to Theron on the operating table, he is only there because of me, he got shot because he was trying to save me, and now they want me to wait outside?“No.” I was d
Theron’s Point of ViewMy head went blank, seeing Eden under the mercy of another man with that look in her face made the monster inside me break off their shackles, and I didn’t try to even stop it, instead I embraced the madness. I tackled the man to the ground, landing hard on him, but the gun went off anyways before slipping from his hands, I felt the wetness near my chest, I was bleeding, but I didn’t feel any pain… not in this moment.I was filled with so much hate, and malicious killing intent than to be bothered by some gunshot.Even if I was going to die, I would make sure I take this motherfucker with me. Anger bubbled inside my veins as my fist connected to his mouth, he tried to me push me off with his body, but I pressed my knees against his abdomen. I was bigger and stronger; he didn’t stand a chance against me.I punched him in the throat, connecting a heavy blow to his windpipe with the hope to realign his respiratory system.He tried to cover up, but I punched him
Theron’s Point of View“You can’t be so sure.” I finally whispered when I was able to control my beating heart, there must be some other explanation for this—something that isn’t love, but I will figure it later. “But I will take serious these suggestions…” My eyes flickered from the notes she scribbled down. “And give me your phone.”Lola glanced at me weirdly, but didn’t protest, she searched for her phone in her pocket and brought it out, handing it over to me.I could see the hesitation written all over her face.“Doesn’t this count as bullying?” she queried and I handed the phone back to her. “If it’s bullying you should report me then…put your password in.” I urged her, and she rolled her eyes before collecting it.“You told me to give you the phone you didn’t say what it is for.” She grumbled underneath her breath but that was none of my business. Lola was quite annoying, even more annoying than Eden, but she seemed to have some sort of warmth to her, it was a friendly and
Eden’s Point of View“Excuse me.” I grabbed the man’s arm, and pulled him quickly before he could leave, my eyes darted towards the ink I noticed on his neck, and instead of the dragon or the Chinese letters Benita had told me about.It was a butterfly, and there wasn’t any other tattoo on the other side of his neck, my eyes widened almost immediately as I realized I had the wrong man.“Is there any problem?” The man asked again as he stared down at me uncomfortably, and my eyes finally flickered to his face and then I noticed they weren’t brown, they were blue. Almost immediately my fingers unwrapped from his arms, and I stepped back.“I’m so sorry.” I blurted feeling my cheeks heat up in embarrassment. “You just look like someone I know, pardon me.”I quickly turned on my heels and walked away from the area as quickly as I could with my heart pounding in my chest.Eden, are you crazy!? I mentally yelled at myself, what if the man I grabbed was Nico, what was I going to do? He is a f
Eden’s Point of View“Are you awake?” I had not moved from this chair, I didn’t have any more surgeries so instead of just lazing around I decided to stay with Benita until she wakes up—I don’t know why but I just couldn’t shake off the uneasiness, there was something about this woman that seems to keep me in.Something dangerous.I know Theron has told me before to stop putting my nose in their business as it could get bad for me, but I can’t just ignore the ill feeling that seemed to nestle in my chest.And my hunches are always right. “My kids.” She gasped, her eyes darting around as if she would find them next to her bed.“I told you before, they are fine.” I said, this time my voice distinctive because I didn’t want her to panic like the last time. “They are in the care of the hospital, please do not worry, no harm will come to them.” “You don’t know him…” I interrupted her sharply.“Who is him?” I asked curiously.She gasped softly, her eyes darting around again, staring in
Eden’s Point of ViewI rubbed the sleep out of my eyes, as I washed my face under the running faucet of the female washroom; we had an early morning open heart surgery, which was another success, thanks to the support and trust of my hardworking colleagues.My work life is the only thing I am grateful for.I stared hard at my reflection in the mirror; my eyes were sleep deprived and they had big ugly bags. I looked terrible, but that was as a result of the events of the previous week—it was a hectic one, and being surrounded by lunatics wasn’t helping at all.My mother-in-law is a psychopath (maybe she wasn’t diagnosed, but she is even more scary than Theron himself), Theron is crazy and hellbent on tormenting me, Thorne, my narcissistic ex-boyfriend was back and he is trying to mess with my head; the only sane person in that house is Dr. Keegan, and there is nothing much he could do.I would have suggested taking a break, going home to my family, but they are no better than Theron’s
