Dilan laid lily on the bed. She was already sound asleep and her temperature had begun to rise. Dilan picked up his phone and called Darrel.
"Get over here?"
"What happened?!"
"Just come here now!" Dilan ordered in a hoarse voice and cut the line.
"sigh...he couldn't even say please"
Darrel called for his driver, he started the car and they drove off to Dilan's house. Darrel wondered what could have made Dilan sound so harsh to him for the first time. When they had gotten to Dilan's apartment, Darrel hastily walked inside the house.
He met Rhys.
"Where's he?"
"He's...." they both turned to the being who was descending the staircase. Darrel and Dilan stared at each other for a while before Dilan began to go up to his room.
Darrel patted Rhys and followed Dilan.
When he got to their room he met Dilan resting on the wall with his hands tucked into his pockets. Dilan glanced at him and looked at his wife sleeping on the bed. Darrel walked up to her and touched her forehead
"Is she pregnant?"
Dilan shook his head indicating 'no'
Darrel was about to run some other tests on her when her eyes shut open.
Goosebumps ran through her skin, she kept her gaze on Dilan. Darrel just watched them both silently.
Dilan walked closer to a lily, and she distanced herself. He kept on coming close to her till she had rested her back on the wall. He held her waist tightly preventing her from running away, looking at her he could see how scared she was. This time she didn't scream, she bent her head low
"Please leave me," she asked sobbing
He patted her on her back without saying a word till her body fell limp again.
He carried her to the bed.
"She's been saying the same thing all over again," Dilan said in an annoyed tone.
Darrel laughed out loud
Dilan sat beside lily his gaze fixed on lily not minding Darrel
"Don't you think you just fought?" Darrel asked
"We didn't"
Darrel's face became serious.
"She began to act like this ever since she was kidnapped."
"What does she always say?"
"I should leave her alone"
"Only?"
"She did say something but I didn't hear her well"
"What did she say Dilan?" Darrel interrogated. The suspense was killing him.
"She said something about killing someone"
"Did she specify who?" Darrel asked his face turning shades of black
Dilan shook his head, Darrel had already gotten what he needed.
"Who told her?" he murmured to himself. He looked at Dilan whose gaze was still fixed on his wife
"Anytime she repeats that just assure her that you love her," he said. Dilan glared at him
"I know it's not something you can do Dilan but can't you do this for your wife. You don't want to lose her like you lost Dayla."
Darrel's last words seemed to have penetrated Dilan. Darrel stood up.
"Take care of her" and he left the room.
Dilan turned to lily
"I can't lose you again"
