CHAPTER 4_ I'll get rid of it...

One of the guards stationed inside the Ward standing by the door approached the lone figure sitting before the unconscious lady on the bed. It's been over two hours since Maya was moved from the ICU to the Ward and yet there wasn't a sign of her waking up anytime soon.

“Boss. Please have something to drink. You didn't have your breakfast this morning”

Kelvin didn't utter a word. His eyes were fixated on Maya the whole time. The guard placed the bottled water next to him just in case his boss changed his mind and went back to his post.

It's been more than four hours and yet there wasn't any sign of her family members. It seems like they didn't care if she lived it or died.

Kelvin stood up with a deep sigh. He has given them enough time to show up and since none of them did, it was time he made his final decision.

He took one last glance at her and walked to the door. “Make sure no one gets in” he gave his order to the guard and left the room.

***

Later that evening…

Maya's eyelids fluttered open slowly, her blurry eyes scanned the unfamiliar surroundings. Her eyes were weak and her lips quivered.

“Cameron” she called out softly. Her teeth clenched, feeling a slight pain on her lower belly. She sat up from the bed and that was when her eyes snapped fully open.

“Ma'am you're awake”

Her attention was drawn to the slightly opened door where an older woman stood with a tray in her hands. Maya's eyes rounded in surprise.

“Stay back ma'am. I'll go inform the boss”

“What did you do to me?! And where have you brought me?! Where is Cameron?” She made an attempt to step out of bed but felt weak to the core. After attempting to step out for the third time in a row she gave up the idea.

“Boss, the lady is awake! ”

Kelvin placed down the glass of water on the table and stood up to his feet. He followed behind the middle aged old maid he assigned to keep an eye on Maya.

When he got to the door, he heaved a deep sigh and dismissed the maid. He twisted the door knob and took a step in only to be struck in the face with a soft pillow.

Kelvin was caught off guard by the direct attack launched on him. He snapped his head to the lady sitting on the bed. Her brown eyes glaring at him with hatred and shock.

“What did you-

“You're lucky i couldn't grab something more dangerous. I'd surely love to see your ugly face get broken” She scorned.

Kelvin was bewildered at the audacity the lady possessed. The only reason she wasn't on her knees begging for her life to be spared right now was because she was carrying his baby otherwise, things would have been messy.

“I'll forgive that-

His speech was cut off short after another pillow flew in his direction. Luckily, he caught it with his left hand before it could touch his face.

“You were saying?” She arched a brow at him.

Kelvin sucked in through his teeth. And here he thought that Jessica was wild and hard to control but who knew that the lady occupying his beloved bed was even worse?

“Don't let me chop off your pretty little fingers to teach you some manners” His voice was cold but it didn't seem to faze Maya at all.

Maya snorted. she pulled the comfy duvet off her feet and helped herself down from the bed. One thing she knew very well was that this arrogant man had kidnapped her and she wasn't going to sit back and watch him have her way.

"Now isn't the time to threaten me. Where is my husband? and why have you brought me here?"

Kelvin tossed the pillow back to the bed while he took a step closer to her. His eyes sizing her every expression. Her heart shaped lips pout in annoyance and her perfect brows furrowed.

There was a quick smile that appeared by the corner of his lips but it disappeared as soon as it had appeared.

"I'm afraid you don't have a husband anymore. Forget him like a bad memory and channel your focus on having my baby and after that, you can leave"

Maya's jaw dropped in shock at his arrogance. His words were dry and plain. Just because she was carrying his child doesn't mean he could make her his captive.

"What did you do to Cameron?! I need to see him right this moment do you get that?!"

Kelvin remained silent. He pulled his gaze off her which she mistook as his defeat, she further took steps and attempted walking past him only to be pulled back into his arms.

"Let me go!" She struggled. Her fist meeting with his chest at every second she got. But her strength couldn't match that of his own. He held both of her hands and led her back to the bed where he made her sit. His hands still clasping hers.

"Stop trying to be difficult with me. I don't like you either... you'll only leave after my kid is born"

"Cameron tried to reason with me about this. But now I'm suddenly regretting my decision. I don't want to carry your child..I'll get rid of it!"

No sooner had the word dropped off her lips, her back touched the bed's surface in the next second with Kelvin hovering over her. His blue eyes locked against her eyes which widened in shock. From what he could see, fear wasn't part of the emotion in her eyes.

"I dare you to say that again" He whispered in a firm tone. His lips almost brushing hers. "You'll give birth to my child and you can do anything you want with your life after that. I hope I've made myself clear?"

"I wasn't paying attention" She responded. She placed both of her hands against his chest and pushed him off her.
