"Lou, here take this," Rudy said passing her the water bottle
"I already drank water Ruds"
"I warned you not to go anywhere, why don't you just listen to me for once? Why did you walk while you were feeling tipsy?" he went on rambling
"Ruds, calm down. I didn't move a bit from here, Asher gave me the water," she replied
"Asher? Do you mean by Asher Carter?"He asked
"Yes Rudy, why are you stressing on that?"
"That's because Asher left this place long back"
"No Rudy, he didn't. I just spoke to him"
"Louisa, I saw Asher leaving the place when I went to fetch us the laptop"
"He could have come back Ruds, to meet someone or to fetch something," Louisa said nervously not wanting to believe that she hallucinated for once more
"Really Lou? Why are you making up stories? Just try to accept the fact that you are having all the illusions again and we should not wait any more," saying that he dragged her with him
"Rudy, I am not going to run away; please leave my hand everyone is just looking at us," she pleaded
"Ohh so the girl who never gave a damn to the people suddenly started worrying about their judgments?" he asking quirking his brow
She said nothing and kept looking at him
"Why are you looking at me like that Lou?" Rudy asked
"Are you here with me for real or am I hallucinating speaking with you?" she quizzed
"Lou, I am here for real," he said catching hold of hands
"How can I believe in this? Maybe this is an illusion too. Maybe I am hallucinating everything, the event, this awards, nothing was real even you are not really here right?" she asked with tears
"Louisa, look at me; look at me," Rudy said wiping her tears.
"Don't think about anything, don't strain your mind. It will just pressurize you and take a toll on you. My Louisa is strong and nothing should break her apart," he said shutting her eyes
"Breath in Breath out," he repeated the cycle until the time her breathing got even
"You okay now?" he asked and she gave him a slant smile
"Rudy, leave my hand I don't want the paparazzi to fill the headlines saying Louisa Miller unable to walk herself due to high intake of drugs," she laughed
Louisa plastered a smirk on her face and walked outside while Rudy walked a little distant from her. While Louisa stood smiling for some pictures, Rudy escaped from the cameras
When the chauffeur brought his car to the spot, Rudy asked him to leave the place and he took the wheel
Louisa smiled at everyone before sitting in the car.
"Rudy, my head is hurting I will just take a short nap. Please wake me up when we reach the hospital," she said rubbing her temples
The blinders rolled down and the darkness consumed her
"Did we reach the hospital Rudy?" she asked rubbing her eyes
She left the loudest shriek after opening her eyes. German Shepherds surrounded her from all sides
"Rudy, where all you? What is this place? Help me," she cried loudly hugging her knees
"Who brought me here? Is it Damian Blair? Are you doing this for the chip? Let me warn you this will only make things more worse. If you lay a finger on me I will see your end," she yelled
The brown colored German shepherd moved more closer to her and sniffed her hair. She trembled with fear
"Damian, are you doing this? We can sit and talk, don't do anything which is going to be problematic for you"
"So Babygirl is still back of the Blair's?" she heard his voice again
"Ivan is that you?" she asked as everything turned dark again
"Ivan? Who is Ivan? Isn't he dead years back? Isn't he killed by the vultures that are disguised as human beings?" he spatted
She shivered listening to the roars. His voice had more depth compared to the voice she knew from the past
"God! Why are you doing this to me, where I don't even know what is real and what is not?" she sobbed
"You are sobbing? The cold-hearted Louisa Miller is sobbing, but is she really sobbing or just acting like every time?"
"Now I got the confirmation that you are not Ivan. You are so venomous; my Ivan was never like this"
"Your Ivan? Is there something which is ever yours other than your ego, pride and manipulations?" he grunted
"Tell me what do you want from me, I will give you anything you want but just leave me I have enough shit to deal with I don't want any more headaches," Louisa begged standing on her knees
"Will you give me whatever I want? Will you ever be able to give me the things I lost? Will you ever be able to give me peace? Will you bring me back the precious time you have crumbled? Will you…. Will you get me back the abundant happiness for which I dreamt all the time?" his voice shacked when he said those last lines
"Ivan, I do bear with the pain every day, every minute. I am dying to live each passing minute and I have many more things to break my heart but what I didn't get is why are you doing this to me? I can understand if anyone decides to take revenge on me but why you are doing this?" she asked weeping
"You know the answers Babygirl, you just forget them in the happiness. Don't worry, I will make you remember everything and you will pay for your deeds," he said pulling her near to him
"Louisa, I have asked you to wait right! Then why did you take the other vehicle to rush to the hospital? You know how tensed I was until I received the call from the hospital about you getting admitted here?" Rudy went on saying as soon as she opened her eyes
"Ruds," she hugged him tightly taking his name and started weeping
"Lou, why are you crying now? You have nothing wrong; I am just saying that it would have been better if you had told me that you are coming here. Stop crying the doctors will be here any time soon," he said hugging her back
"No Rudy, I didn't come here myself. I was taken to a scary place surrounded by German shepherds from all sides and he was there Ruds. He belittled me, called me venomous and he warned that he would destroy me. I have no idea how I ended up here. Which of these is a lie? I being trashed by him or this where I am being treated in a place that looks like a hospital? Which one is true?" she screamed which ended up crying
"This is the problem Doctor, please do something. I can't see her in pain," Rudy pleaded the doctors who entered the room
"Ms. Miller, how are you feeling now?" A senior doctor asked her
"This is all fake, everything is fake, no one is real. Go away don't come near me," Louisa shouted when he stepped near her
Doctors ordered the nurses to catch hold of her hands when she started throwing things
"Ms. Miller, why are you behaving like this now? While you, yourself walked into the hospital for getting treated?" one of the doctor's questioned her
