CHAPTER 41
I am coiling myself up on the couch completely naked, trembling from the cold, my mind a million miles away and by the time it strikes me that I should cover up, Enzo is already standing besides me. I can't see his face from this position, but I can see his legs and I feel his eyes on me.
I want to quickly grab my torn dress from the floor and cover my nakedness but I can't even lift my finger. I feel so numb and so weak, I just lay there completely exposed and very conscious.
Enzo cusses under his breath as he covers me from chest to my mid-thigh with his jacket and then he kneels besides me.
He stares at me for a long second and in his eyes, I can see a hint of fury and concern and compassion and another emotion that I can't make out.
He reaches to touch my face and I recoil. I know this is Enzo and deep down I know he can't hurt me but I can't help it. I feel so paranoid.

"We have a bathroom in case you want to clean yourself up." Isabell, the forensic nurse, tells me after she is done examining and doing a few vaginal swabs on me."Thank you but I would rather do that in the house." I say, getting out of the examination bed.I have been lying on the bed for the past thirty minutes, legs wide apart and I was starting to feel numb."Are you on birth control?" She asks, walking towards the desk as I follow her."Nope.""Please have a seat, I will be right back."She disappears to another room on the left and I sit on the chair to wait for her.A few seconds later, she walks back carrying a glass of water and three blister packs and she places the glass on the desk, right in front of me."Here," she hands me a pack of emergency pills. "You will take one tablet and the other one s

Celine stands there, startled. I know she didn't expect to find me here and neither did I and I can't help but speculate why she is here.She looks like she just woke up, jumped from the bed and drove here. I can bet anything that she didn't even take a shower and my only guess is that Matty already told her what happened that is why she looks super distressed so early in the morning.Because her precious son was arrested.Matthew spent just a night in jail and she already looks like this??I can't wait to see her two week from now because I know Matthew is not getting out and Celine will be depressed to death.I stand there waiting for her to scold me, call me names, slap me, snap at me asking what I am doing in his son's office or do all of the above but to my surprise, she does neither of those things."Jo?" She calls my name after a long silence and

I debate whether to go back to Wendy's room or not, after I end my call with Celine, but the former wins.Wendy is still sitting on the bed, resting her head on the head rest and she stares at me with disinterest when I push the door open.I know my presence is boring her to death but I will be out of this place before she knows it."It is obvious you don't want to see me." I say walking inside."I was hoping it is, so why are you here anyway?""I came to see how you are doing and to apologise for pushing you yesterday." My eyes linger on the bandage around her upper arm. "It was an accident.""You already did that less than ten minutes ago." She says curtly."You got no bad blood?"I want to be sure that she won't be suing my poor ass later."I am grateful if anything, you did the dirty work for me." She says with n

The hair on the back of my neck stands up and every muscle in my body tenses."WHAT? WHERE?" I ask as a sudden overwhelming feeling of fear surges through me. "Please tell me that mom and Kelly are safe." I plead.My heart is beating fast and wild against my chest and I can feel my blood pumping so fast and hard in my veins.If Luther gets to them...Fuck!I shut my eyes tight in an attempt to push the thoughts of Luther hurting either mom or Kelly out of my mind but it doesn't work.God!They better be safe."They are okay for now, I have seen him at the reception and I am rushing to the ICU to alert the police guards." Ric tells me and I can hear his ruffled breaths through the phone."Okay. I am on my way.""No. Don't risk coming over, I want you to get out of West's office and hide somewhe

I thought Luther's death would give me some sort of relief. I assumed I would be a very happy person now that the person who wanted to hurt me and my family is dead, I won't walk around with a target on my back or worry about Luther hurting Kelly and mom. I thought I would be okay, I am supposed to feel okay, his death is supposed to make me feel better and relieved.But I feel quite the opposite, if anything. I feel sad, I feel sorry for West and it is a shocker that my humanity is still unscathed even after the hell that I have been through.No matter how hard I try to get rid of the image, the scene is still stuck in my head and there is nothing I can do about it.Luther's body lying in a pool of blood, West crying painfully begging his son to wake up, asking him to open his eyes, the police announcing that Luther is dead and two cops pulling a traumatized West up.I keep replaying that sce

I heave a sigh of relief when we succeed in dodging the reporters who were trying to get to me with all sorts of questions about Matthew and Luther, but fortunately, the police did a good job of pushing them away and Ric shielded me from their view and the cameras the entire time."That was quite a task," I say as we walk through the hallway towards the wards.Kelly and mom have already been transferred to the wards and Ric is taking me to see them."You can say that again, those guys are very nosy." He says in a very irritated sound and he looks more pissed than he sounds."Unfortunately, that is what they are paid to do," he shakes his head."Still, that is too much. They should learn to take no for an answer, they were practically shoving their mike in our mouths. It is not ethical at all and I am so sure that it goes against their codes too."We make to go past the e

I wake up to a shattering sound in the kitchen and I shoot up immediately, placing both my hands on my chest.Fuck!My heart is pounding so hard and I can't help the paranoia that creeps in at the thoughts of someone breaking in to hurt us, but I get some relief when I glance at the wall clock.It is 8:00 in the morning and I don't think anyone would break into people's place in daylight, probably nanny broke something by accident.I get out of Kelly's bed and walk towards her, she is lying peacefully on the bed that Ric brought since she can't use a normal bed. I stand there staring at her with a huge smile on my face.I am so happy.Waking up knowing that Kelly and mom are feeling better makes me so happy and the fact that they are home makes me feel so contended.I couldn't believe it yesterday when I came home and found them settled in, I

I watch mom shove two tablets in her mouth, downing them with a gulp of water and I cringe. I really hate medicine but mom is not in anyway bothered by the many tablets placed on her bedside, I can't say the same about Kelly though.She hates them as much as I do and I had a very hard time convincing her to take the pills yesterday. Thank God Ric took over the duty this morning.He arrived an hour ago and after running some tests on mom, he joined Arya, Kelly's physiotherapist and according to Ric, she is the best that our state got.I should be there with Kelly but I couldn't tolerate watching her in so much pain, the session is not exactly a walk in the park, so I switched place with dad.Talking of dad, he didn't tell Sky the truth yesterday, apparently, he just wanted to see how she is doing and you can be sure as hell that Lydia didn't give him a warm welcome and that he left withou
