Chapter 2: Disaligned Facts

Her life that once revolved around just career and love, was now caught in a turning point that she didn't know was possible to happen. Her wedding with Lawrence is just months away, but this occurrence turned that dreamy moment into a blurry and unreachable one. 

“We brought the doctor with us, Boss.” Through phone call, one of the bunch of men said.

Georgia didn't know for how long she was unconscious, but she could feel her surrounding now. And honestly, she didn't like what this place feels like–it gives her shivers. There's something that emits a heavy atmosphere in the surrounding, not to mention that it also feels like she’s being absorbed to the dark abyss like a black hole that swallow anything.

With her eyes unstable, her first instinct told her to move. But something is restraining her–no, it’s more like of she is being restrained! Her unstable eyes finally came into life, but what greeted her eyes weakened her knees in fear.

“What… Where am I…? Where is this…?” a hoarse voice emerged from her sweet one as her eyes started to shake. Slowly, she turned her head to the right side, hoping to get an answer, but that attempt left her cheeks in pain when the person from that side forcefully turned her head to the front.

“Don’t do anything useless.” The same person regarded her coldly, a voice as deep as the ocean.

Hence, she was ought to meet the same thing that seemingly turned her stomach upside down–it was a relief that she didn't manage to vomit. Right in front of her is a long table faced horizontally at her, a table that holds different weapons. 

As her wide and fearing eyes fixated at those weapons, all of a sudden, she and everyone of them heard footsteps from an expensive shoes that is directed to where they are. The energy from that footsteps is utterly different from the bunch of big people in suits here. With Georgia just alone, this place have many huge people… occupying every corner and the edge of this wide and spacious room.

There's no escaping for her–now, that the one who was called boss is now right in front of her. 

“Hmm? This is the doctor?” A tall man, whose shadow was casted over her small body, asked, as if to confirm about something. Contrary to the first voice that Georgia heard, this man… who has the eyes of the dark and grey clouds she saw earlier, has this voice that seemed to only utter a tease and just anything that would get on one's nerves–on Georgia, for instance.

But something in the depth of that voice is one thing that Georgia can't escape from–the fear.

While she was already stood frozen, she was succumbed with shock when that man lifted her chin and observed her facial features closely. She had to hold her breath, otherwise, she doesn't know what extent of scary move would get her.

“So, there is a monster under this sheep, huh?” in a low voice that’s enough for her to hear, the man spoke with his hunter-like eyes gazed at her hazel-brown irises. The fear was written all over the face of the woman–and that encouraged him to smirk, eventually taking off his hand. 

“You just made a huge mistake, woman.” He uttered. Although, Georgia's eyes were already shaking in fear, she still followed her gazes to him. And for a moment there, a figure of a person occurred in her mind. Now, that she got a closer look of him… there's no mistaking it!

Slowly, her eyes widened in surprise when she had come into an unexpected realization. 

“Primo… Bonsignore…” that name escaped from her lips. The man she saw at the screen earlier–that new face on the richest list! However, one thing she didn't know is what comes after carelessly uttering that name. Not only she was being restrained now when a man behind her forcefully got her body on her knees. Georgia winced in pain when she felt her shoulder bone clicking.

“You’re not allowed to say his name, Doc.” The same man who grabbed her cheeks, told her. Georgia's hands are cuffed behind her–leaving her defenseless, like a prey surrounded by fearsome predators. 

“What are the details, Manuel?” Georgia lifted her head when she heard Primo spoke again. Perhaps, he meant about the root of her being kidnapped! After all, neither does she know why is this happening to her! All of her life, she didn't have any memories of coming against people like them–!

Wait a second… people like them…? Wait, who exactly are they? As those question cradled her, Georgia slowly began to roam her eyes around–but she could see nothing other than the wall and the men in suit. Again, who… are these people? How are they associated with one of the richest person, Primo? – no! It’s the other way around!

How is Primo, a public figure, associated with them?!

“This is Doctor Georgia Musni, the surgeon assigned to operate the Alpha Uno. Earlier at 10:43am, Doctor Georgia was found entering the same operation room where the Alpha Uno is, which we believed that corroborated with our prior knowledge that Alpha Uno was the only patient to be operated this day, 9th of July.” Manuel narrated. Although there were some things that confused the doctor, there was one thing that fully caught her attention.

“Our hospital is huge and we have at least 22 patients being operated in a day!” As if the fear have subsided, replacing her professionalism, Georgia didn't hesitate to butt in and align the facts.

“You won't speak unless you’re told, Doc.” Manuel casted a chilling glance at her, quickly withdrawing her boldness.

“We made sure that the Alpha Uno should be the only patient that the surgeons should focus on to increase the success of the operation,” Georgia wanted to refute those filthy words, words that only speak underestimation to her fellow surgeons! But she had to keep it on her tongue… if she wanted to survive in this dark place.

“But the exact opposite happened when Alpha Uno ended up dead.” Manuel spoke coldly as he returned to his position. “That’s all, Boss.”

“And who’s responsible for that?” Georgia whose mind tangled with those unbelievable facts, slowly lifted her head in front of her when she heard that low and teasing voice. Well she didn't have to lift her head when Primo bended on his legs to look at her in the eyes.

“You only have one job yet you still failed to save my father, Doc.” That was a slap on the face of Georgia. She wanted to talkback and defend her profession, but Primo’s eyes looked like a tiger’s that could devour her in a moment. 

Mouth gaped open, Georgia stared back at him. Everything that happened earlier and their statements were not aligned at all.

“But my operation is a success and my patient is alive.” Although she was already told to only speak when she’s allowed, Georgia still can't help it. Just how come their realities aren't coinciding? She was just accused for a crime that didn't happen in her reality.

What in the actual hell is happening here?
