It wasn't Anna he called in the hospital, it was Mr. Kim he called. I told the servants to help me get upstairs to Alex's room. They took me upstairs to Alex's room and left me there, Alex was sitting on his bed.
"Um..Can I come in?"
He looked around, "Yeah..."
"Thank you"
"For what?" His voice was cool.
"For taking care of me"
"Yeah whatever. Anything else?"
"No...Just thank you"
"Well you're welcome...you can go to your room now."
"Yeah...."
He turned his back on me and sat down on the bed again.
"Alex... could you...ummm"
"What now??" he said without turning back.
"Could you help me get to my room?"
He turned around and saw me on the wheelchair. The wheelchair was manual so I wasn't able to go around that easily."
"Yeah sure."
He came behind me, took hold of the handles and took me into my room. He then picked me up and placed me on my bed.
"Sleep."
"Huh?"
"You need to rest. So sleep now."
"Hmm"
"What did I say earlier? Learn to speak"
"Yes"
"Good."
He left the room, leaving me on the bed. Not much later I fell asleep. I slept for about an hour, when the burning pain on me leg woke me up.
I couldn't help but cry at the moment, no voice came out of my mouth, I just started crying, sobbing. I tried to call someone but the pain was so much I couldn't speak, besides that the lights were out, my phobia was taking over me again.
I got up and out of my bed, the pain was so much that it felt like it was killing me. I got on my foot, and the pain grew hundred times more, I managed to switch on the lights, but couldn't manage to go back to my bed, fell down just as I switched the lights on. Completely blacked out, I laid there.
The next morning Lilly came in to open the curtains and was shocked to find me unconscious on the floor.
She screamed, "SIR SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED TO MADAM"
Alex had came running into my room, seeing my condition he called the doctor. I woke up in a different surrounding, it wasn't bright like my room, it was rather dark. It had walls painted in grey color, not much furniture and the bed was huge.
I realised it was Alex's room. And Alex was sitting on the desk with his rimless round reading glasses. He wasn't in a formal attire, he wore casual. He was wearing ripped denim jeans and black sweatshirt. I had to agree, he looked good in casuals and glasses. He was doing something on his laptop.
Then he saw me.
"What are you looking at?"
"Noth..nothing"
"Couldn't you call me yesterday?"
"Actually I have nyctophobia, which didn't let me speak. And my le..my leg burnt and stinged. And I couldn't speak at all. I had to put on the lights and..."
"Well, now you're not going in that room, at least for now. You'll sleep here"
"No..that isn't necessary. I'll ask Lilly to stay back with me. I'm sure she won't mind"
"No, you're not going to sleep in that room."
"But..."
"No buts"
The breakfast was brought in room. I and Alex had the breakfast and then I put ordered to sleep. So I did. When I woke up, it was already past lunch time.
Alex brought the plate of food and sat beside me.
"Open your mouth."
"Alex I'm honestly not hungry."
"You have to take your pills, for that you need to eat something."
I opened my mouth without any argument. After I finished, I was given my pill. And I went to sleep again, Alex stayed in the room doing his work.
My mum called me when I woke up.
"Hello mom."
"How are you, sweetheart. I was so worried when I heard about you."
"If you were that worried about me you wouldn't have forced me to marry someone I didn't even knew."
At this point Alex was totally listening to the conversation.
"Sweetheart, we did this for your own good."
"What good mom? Just money?"
"Not just money dear, love"
"Love? Ha ha ha. Are you joking mom? You all knew Alex already had someone in his life, marrying me to him doesn't bring me his love. You ruined my life and Alex's too"
Alex was amused by what I was speaking because he had closed his laptop screen and was looking at me. I tried not to show him that I was watching him.
"Dear, we didn't ruin your life, we made your life. You have everything now, money, fame"
"I DON'T WANT THE GODDAMN MONEY OR FAME MOTHER. ALL I WANTED WAS TO AT LEAST MARRY THE PERSON WHO LIKED ME."
Now my tears were uncontrollably dripping. I ended the call, without waiting for my mom to reply.
"You're angry with your mother huh?" he aid smirking.
"No, I'm angry with my life. I couldn't build my career, my family abandoned me and my husband ha..."
I stopped at this. And laid down and closed my eyes.
