Five

AURORA’S POV

 My head was throbbing so bad as though someone continuously hit an hammer on it. I still managed to force my eyes open. The vision slowly coming to life.

The room was unfamiliar. The scent in the air was different from what I smelled at the hospital but somehow it felt oddly familiar. It felt like I knew this place or who it belonged to.

“You are awake.” I heard an unfamiliar feminine voice say even though it took some seconds for the words to fully form in my head.

“Where am I?” I asked, my voice sounding lower than a whisper.

I felt weak and tired. It felt like something or someone had drained all form of lives from within me. Pain shot through all part of me.

“Home.” She responded as simple as she could.

My head tried to process what she meant by that because this place certainly didn’t look like my own. Neither that of my fiancé.

I struggled to pull my lips apart as I attempted to say more but I paused on seeing her close up the distance between us. Her slender fingers pressing my shoulder gently.

“Do you feel any pain here?” She asked and I managed to nod gently because my head ached too. She proceeded to touch more places and all I did every single time was to reply with a nod.

I ached all over.

If it wasn’t the consequences of my own actions!

Yes! I totally remembered rolling off the raven. I remembered trying to end my own life because that man…

That man! The scary one!

Where was he?

I wondered and slowly some words echoed in my head.

You are mine forever, Mamito.

The voice in my head echoed and I slightly wished that I was dreaming.

“I will have to prescribe some drugs for you.” She informed with a bright smile on her face. “It’s good news that nothing happened to the baby. You should be fine soon.” She added.

Suddenly my brain clicked.

The baby. The reason I was in this mess at first.

Fuck!

I knew I had to get an abortion. I had to get rid of this baby because I couldn’t bring myself to keep it. Deep down I knew that my fiancé would never accept it, not after cheating on me with my best friend.

“Can I…” I was saying before the door abruptly open to reveal the scary man walking in, slower than he did at the hospital.

He stopped few steps away from her, making it look like he was trying to avoid contacting a plague from me.

“I see that you are awake.” He said in an husky voice. One that held no emotion.

I could hardly tell if he was glad to know I survived or if he was pissed that I pulled that stunt.

At that point I felt stupid. I found myself mumbling prayers to the heavens to pull apart the ground and let me in.

“How is she, Doctor?” He asked and I watched her turn around to face him.

“Everything is well. Both the baby and her. I will give her some drugs to help with the pain.” She responded.

He nodded in response, his hands in his pockets.

“Leave us.” He ordered, sounding calm.

She nodded and walked out of the room.

I could feel his eyes digging holes inside me but I made no attempt to meet them with mine. My eyes moved everywhere as I hoped he would get the hint that I wasn’t ready to have a conversation with him and leave.

His footsteps resounding in the room as he closed up the gap between us. I immediately swallowed the lump of saliva that had found its way into my mouth, feeling small compared to him.

He stopped to look at me a little longer.

“What right do you have to try and harm my child” He said, his voice portraying his anger.

I let out a scoff.

“Your child? I already told you that the baby isn’t yours.” I snapped, eyeing him terribly. Funny how all the body ache disappeared in a second. “Is this even legal? Huh! You should be thrown in jail for a lot of things. Wait till I get a lawyer.” I added, threatening him.

“Lawyer?” He scoffed, a smirk slightly curling his lips.

I hated that he looked so calm about it even when I expected him to shudder in fear.

I watched him tuk softly as he leaned in, his face inches from mine.

“Get this straight, Mamito. No one can save you from me. No one except myself.” He whispered then broke into an annoying laugh as he straightened up.

My teeth clenched together out of visible annoyance at how much guts this man swallowed. At how collected he was and the fact that he seemed dangerous.

“You can’t take me against my will. It’s against the law so whether you like it or not, I’m getting myself a lawyer.” I informed.

There was absolutely no way I was just going to give in to this weirdo. He was probably sent to kidnap me

Too bad, Micheal had to go this far. That asshole! Even after cheating on me with Annylase. He had the guts to hire a clown to kidnap me.

I scoffed, dragging my eyes back to him.

He still had that smirk on. In fact it had gotten wider.

“You never changed, Mamito. Still the old annoying you.” He mumbled softly causing me to yell at him.

But it came out terrible. It sounded like a cat tried to scare him because he obviously wasn’t scared. He didn’t look afraid. Instead he seemed piped up and excited to torture me.

It made me wonder how long he had been in this business.

“I will leave you to get some rest.” He informed and proceeded to walk out of the room. His broad back turned towards me.

“Hey!” I snapped at him and watched him come to an halt.

It worked. All I had to do was show him how strong I can be.

“Let me go or face my lawyer!” I yelled at him, applying some force on my throat in order to sound thicker.

I watched as he turned his head slightly to the side to look at me.

“Try all you want, Mamito but you are stuck with me forever.” He informed, a smile spreading across his cheeks.

He turned around, walking out of the room before I could give him a response.
