Aria's P.o.vVaughn moved aside for the doctor to properly assess me. He stood behind him and watched him as he asked several questions. “Aria, can you see me well?” The doctor leaned in and asked me. He took his pen torch from his side picked and opened it into my eyes. I felt a sharp pain at first but subsequently, I let him look at me and I moved my eyes around as the bright light from the pen disturbed me from fixing my eyes in a particular spot. “She's reacting good.” He faced Vaughn and assured him. Later, he took off his stethoscope from his neck and swung it in his hand as he tried to put the right part in his ears. He checked something around my breasts, I wondered if he was checking my heartbeat. I didn't know even though I always hoped to be a nurse. I didn't know and, in that moment, all that mattered to me was for me to know what exactly was wrong with me.“Aria, can you hear me? Can you please speak up? You can hear us, right?”Nothing was wrong with me when the docto

Aria's P.o.vI didn't understand how Vaughn expected me to just be fine with the fact that I couldn't walk for some time. I don't even know when. “I can't be confined to a chair for god's sake. I had a lot to take care of.” I was worried about myself. “We don't even know when I can walk again. What if it's after a year? Or two? Or worse, five?” I began to make terrible assumptions to scare myself and I said them out loud to Vaughn. The more I thought deeply about it, the more I realized that several things were wrong with the fact that I would just be confined to a chair. “You won't be confined to a chair for long. It's not going to happen. You will have a personal therapist who will help you ensure you walk in a faster time. You don't need to worry about all of these things. I have them all under my control.” Vaughn assured me.Vaughn picked up the food he had bought for us and opened it up. “You've not eaten any good food in a while. I know you must have been tired of eating the m

Aria's P.o.vThe nurse smiled at me. I glared at her because I found her behavior weird, but I didn't want to assume she was acting odd.“Let's not talk about him. Let's talk about you. How are you coping with your husband?” She looked at me pitifully and sighed before she added, “Look, I've been in the spot you are in and men that beat up their wives are the worst kind of men. Men think they can act anyhow towards their spouse especially when they have some sort of influence and just think the world revolves around them.” She moved closer to me and proceeded to touch my hand. “You're not in this alone. The world is waiting for you to expose him. You don't have to be scared about anything.” She looked around the room like she was trying to be careful of being caught, while I lay in bed wondering what she was insinuating.The nurse brought out a card and gave it to me. “Look, this is the number of a reporter. They are willing to invite you for a live session to hear your story. Everyon

Aria's P.o.v“No Liam, you're not staying here. I'm fine!” I was offended that he was doing too much to piss Vaughn off. “Let him stay.” Vaughn moved closer to them and said aloud. He didn't look offended by Liam's decision to stay with me. I was displeased by that but I knew Vaughn was more offended than I could ever be. I can't imagine how he must have felt with Liam insinuating that I was pretending about how things were going between Vaughn and me.“Liam, you don't have to talk to your uncle like that. I wouldn't have followed you in here if I had known that this is what you intend to do. It's a slap on my face too.” Vivian tried to caution Liam who refused to listen to her as well. “I'm staying, mum. I know you know that Aria is not doing fine with Vaughn. I know you are aware of that. So why do we keep pretending in this family? Why can't you guys do things the right way?” Liam seemed as though he had been upset about things before his visitation to the hospital because I didn

Aria's P.o.v“Oh, this is your wife, Aria?” She began to act less cute than I expected because she asked obvious questions and neither Vaughn nor I said anything as he spoke. I was hoping she wouldn't say anything that would make the air absurd because she seemed to have had a lot of things to say ahead, in case she finally met us. “Your wife is beautiful in person.” She acknowledged my beauty and that made me feel comfortable that she was a good person, rather than someone who just wanted irrelevant information about our marriage.“Thank you for your kind words,” Vaughn said nicely to her, without smiling. I don't know why but Vaughn had a habit of not smiling in public like it was an intentional act or it would make him lose his beauty. “I have read a lot of blogs about the both of your complex love stories. I'm also a writer. I feel like people have a lot of assumptions that they make concerning your relationship. I think you look very happy together. One can easily tell that you'
