I could hear Vector in the shower, and my eyes closed tight, my fingers lightly clenching. His food had been brought up, but something had moved between us, and neither of us attended to the food. I had peeled off a pair of nightwear from my room, and I was standing by the window, my hands wrapped around me, my hair falling in front of one shoulder.I heard the click of the door, and I turned, pulling the drapes to shut out the evening light.The room was dimly lit, and the light brown lights hanging on the walls and bedsides only set the mood for an even we both knew would not happen tonight.I bit down on my lips as Vector emerged from the bath, his eyes dark, the only light ripping through them, the same night lights that illuminated the room.My chest heaved as I watched him, my jaws lightly clenching.Instead of a robe, he had a towel wrapped around his waist, his upper body on show. He was tanned, and the dimmed lights accentuated the ripped packs on his stomach.My eyes lingere

Segura Medical Centre was situated in downtown Mexico, amongst one of the more suburban towns in Puebla. My eyes scanned the building. It was far too small to be a standard hospital and looked more like an attempt at getting money than treating illnesses or saving lives. I sighed as the car came to a stop, and I slowly got down of the car, my chest lightly heaving.My eyes stayed glued to the hospital. Seeing this, I knew there was no way my mother could be saved. They didn't even look like they had a license here.It worried me. Father was always a wealthy Don, so why would he bring the woman he so loved to a place like this? Why would he even let doctors like these treat her?I sighed and leaned back on the car, my eyes closing. So many things felt out of place. Nothing fits into the story. My father had loved my mother and had, according to him, employed the best doctors in the country to look after her. Why exactly were the best doctors looking like fraudsters who knew nothing abo

Manuel gave a long sigh, his chest heaving. "Vector, ma'am wanted to ask a few questions at Segura. Apparently, she had something to find out regarding some birth records. Once we went there, they were uncooperative. I pulled a gun and asked them to cooperate. They started to talk, but suddenly, some other men came around. Heavily armed. Around seven of them. I managed to fight them off, even though she got injured."There was a small pause, and I closed my eyes, waiting for it. It dragged on for a few minutes before Vector's voice came. It was thick, on the very bridges of anger, and I could almost picture his expression. "The men at Segura attacked you knowing you are my man?"I bit down on my lips, my eyes closing tight."Not at first. I told them after."Vector gave another pause, and my fingers slowly nipped at each other, my chest heaving."Red. Look at me."My chest heaved hard, and I slowly shook my head. "There is no need. I just need to take a bath and...""Fucking look at

I stayed up throughout most of the night, my mind reeling. I needed to find the answers Vector thought would destroy me. I need to know the reason why I wasn't wrong for being in his bed, for missing him when he wasn't here. I needed to know why I could... want him to be in love with me, even if I had slowly started to accept that he probably never would.I gave a small sigh. He wasn't beside me anymore and had left early this morning, apparently, to take care of business. I know he ran the large multinational corporation, but I honestly doubted the reason he had to leave so early was the office.I sighed and turned on my back, my face burying in the pillow. Why were there so many women in Segura? No men, no children, just heavily pregnant women who didn't even seem like they were attended to. If it really was a standard hospital, which I doubt it was from its location, the number of doctors, and even the fact that they had armed men ready to protect them.I closed my eyes. The man ha

I held on to Vector as he dropped the unlit cigarette and wrapped his hands around both my thighs, then stood up, keeping me in place around him the way I had sat on his lap.I closed my eyes as he walked around to the bed slowly but then stopped in place. His eyes were thin, and he turned to me."I would prefer a bath," he said the words slowly, and I bit down on my lip."Sure."He watched my eyes, and I swallowed. A minute of silence passed by, and I let out a small sigh. "I will help with your robe."He nodded, then dropped me gently by the edge of the bed, and I watched him walk away. I saw him pick up a cigarette, a lighter, and a cup of alcohol however, and I knew he needed his time alone.I gave a small sigh as I grabbed his robe, then slowly opened the door to the bathroom. Vector was sitting on the neat floor, his knees drawn to him, one hand covering his face, the other resting on his knee. I swallowed, watching him, my lips sucked in. When he moved to take a smoke, his e
