HIS ONE NIGHT, MY FOREVER

Alina’s POVI held the gold bracelet tight in my hand.S. Blackwell. My heart started ringing aloud.My heart jumped. I didn't know who he was and I didn't care. I didn’t want to ever see him again.I put the bracelet in my bag and I took one last look at the room and then I left.___I walked down the street, it was raining and my body was wet in rain, but I did not care, I just wanted to get home. In my hand, I held an envelope. It was thick and full of money.I didn't look at it. I just ran.I took the bus to the hospital and I pushed through the doors and ran to the front desk.“I’m here to pay,” I said quickly. “Please. My mother…”The nurse looked at me and her face was tired. She took the envelope and walked away.I rushed into the ward. Mama was on the bed and her skin was pale. Her lips were dry and she coughed. Blood came out.“Mama,” I whispered, and held her hand. “I brought the money. You will be okay now.”She tried to smile, but her eyes were so tired.She looked at me

Alina’s POV I sat on the cold bench outside Leo’s hospital room.My fingers gripped his stuffed tiger, the one he slept with every night.My hands wouldn't stop shaking, and my legs felt heavy. My eyes burnt, but I have no more tears left.I haven’t slept in two days and I haven’t eaten anything.I didn’t even feel my body anymore, but I still felt pain, I felt so much pain.Leo was inside that room, my little boy and my whole world.He was lying in bed, with a machine helping him breathe.The doctors said his blood was different. Rarely, they said they needed someone with the same genes.A full match, they said I was not enough.And now I was waiting… for him.Sebastian Blackwell.The man I never wanted to see again. The man who gave me this child, the man who destroyed me… and didn’t even remember.But now… he was the only one who could save my baby.The elevator dung.I looked up and he was here.Sebastian stepped out, he was dressed in all black and his coat fitted perfectly. Hi

The following morning, I woke up and I was so lonely in the chilled room.I sat up slowly and the silence in the big mansion was heavy and strange. It pressed down on me and my fingers tightened around Leo’s stuffed tiger, it was still smelling like him.I stood up to take my phone from the table beside my bed. It rang and my heart ran fast. I answered quickly. “Hello?”The nurse’s voice was tired but clear. “Mrs. Blackwell, Leo is stable. He is still very weak, but he’s holding on. We are watching him closely.”I closed my eyes and breathed hard. “Thank you. Please let me know if there’s any change.”The call then dropped and I held the phone a moment longer, then put it down slowly and I was a bit hopeful.I walked downstairs to the kitchen and I could perceive the odour of a coffee and something cold I couldn’t name.Sebastian sat at the long dining table and he was dressed in black, like always. His eyes didn’t look at me. They never did.“Breakfast,” a maid said quietly, and pl

The day after the kitchen fight, I woke up with a heavy headache and my eyes hurt so bad. My body also felt very weak and I did not want to leave my bed.But in the evening, the head maid knocked on my door and she opened it without waiting.“Mr. Blackwell is having dinner tonight,” she said. Her face was calm, but her eyes were looking cold.“You must dress well. Guests will be here soon.”I nodded slowly and my chest felt heavy.This dinner was not for me, it was for him… and for his people, the same people who did not want me here.I changed into a simple dress and I stood in front of the mirror and I tried to fix my hair, but my hands were shaking.Nothing I did made me feel ready.When I got downstairs, the smell of roasted meat filled the air and the long dining table shone with silver plates and tall candles.Men in black suits talked with deep voices and women in sparkling dresses laughed softly. The sound made me feel small.Sebastian sat at the head of the table and he look

I was still holding the card in my hand when I heard voices in the hallway. Sebastian was calling and the door to my room was open just a little.And I heard the voices, his voice and the one echoing from his phone through the gap in my door.“She will not leave,” he said. His voice was calm, like he was stating some facts.Another man laughed softly. “And if she tries?”Sebastian’s voice changed totally, like the man said something that hurt him.“I will win custody of Leo and she will never ever set her eyes on him again.”My fingers held the card so hard that it even bent more in my hands and I could feel my nails pressed into the paper.My chest was tight, it was like something that was heavily pressed on it.The other man said, “You sound sure.”Sebastian answered right away.“I have more power than she thinks.”And then I heard the faint sound of shoes on the floor as he walked away.Their voices grew quieter until I couldn't hear them anymore.__I pushed the door closed very
