Chereads / My Cursed Love Of A Million Years / Chapter 4 - Meeting Mr. King

Chapter 4 - Meeting Mr. King

Melodiza/Carlita POV

When I heard these men say he was coming, for some reason my heart started beating so fast. I don't know why but I felt some sort of anticipation, fear, and curiosity. As I heard loud steps coming nearer to the door, I was so anxious, I wished I could open my eyes but every time I tried, it was like I couldn't connect to my eyelids.

Slowly I heard the door open. It was as though a blast of wind blew into the room, I felt a shiver run through my body as I felt a magnetic pull towards the door. My hair stood on ends, my fingers twitched, my toes curled and I could feel my heart beating hard and loud. I thought it was so loud that everyone could hear it. The person who came in silently walked towards me. I heard a soft, low and seductive male voice say "leave us". And then I heard footsteps slowly walking away and then the door closing again. As I realized that I was alone with a man who I did not know, who I could not see, and who I seemed so sensitive to, I felt so anxious and nervous.

"Who is this man? What does he want with me?" I anxiously thought as all I could hear was my heart beating and my soft breathing. If it wasn't for the fact I could subconsciously feel his presence, I would have thought I was alone on this room.

"What is he doing? Why hasn't he said anything? What is going on?" I started to panic as several minutes go by and there was still no actions or activity in the room. Since I couldn't see and could only use my hearing to try to figure out the situation, I was nervous as I didn't hear any movement. Suddenly, I felt a cold hand touch my left shoulder. The touch was so sudden and the coldness so sharp that my heart stopped beating for a second. Before, I could not feel anything in my body. Now, It was the first time I felt anything aside from the pain in my body. It was only lately that I was finally able to move my fingers. This time, this man's touch seeped through my skin and I could feel the coldness of his hand. I felt him taking something off my shoulder, and then I heard him whisper "Finally... I found you" as I felt him caress my left shoulder.

As I walked in and saw her in the hospital bed, I felt a terrible ache in my heart. This reminded me of the many times I saw her in this familiar condition. In bed, paralyzed, pale and looking as if she would pass away at any moment. Except, during those times, the reason she was in such condition was always because of him. This was the first time he was meeting her and she was already in such a sorry state. I walked closer and told everyone to leave. I wanted to be alone with her. As they left, I studied her face again, it was still that beautiful face that was a mirror image of what she looked like from the very beginning...before all this started.

After a few minutes of admiring her face and feeling pain as I looked at her injured body full of bandages and tubes sticking around on her. I suddenly couldn't wait to figure out who had done this to her. I wished I had prevented this from happening. The fact I felt so strongly about her now, proved to me that the attraction and pull that I always thought was missing whenever I looked at this women, was finally back. I slowly and quietly walked to her left side of the bed. As I approached her left shoulder, I lifted her sleeve so carefully and gently took the bandages off. I hoped that she did not feel any pain as I took it off. Cautiously, I checked her scar. When I touched her skin, I felt an electric rush run from my hand to my arms and into my head as I felt my heart beating louder then the last time I heard it 500 years ago. This scar does look like a rabbit, the same one I drew and the one I sent to my team. Finally...It's her. I wonder what had happened that this women who I thought was not her, ended up being her. Also, why did this mark appear now and how?

There were so many questions in my mind. This time around, meeting her has become more complicated.

Melodiza/Carlita POV

I held my breath as my mind was going through so many questions. Who is this man? What did he mean? Do I know him? From his voice alone, I could tell I never heard it before. So... he was here to find me? How is he related to me? What does he want? I had so many question that my head started hurting. As I listen closely, hoping he would say more so I could gather more information. After a few minutes, I heard him softly say "I'll definitely find out what happened to you. So, wait for me..." and then I heard steps walking away from me and soon after the door closed.

"What the hell? What does he mean wait for him? I don't even know him? Why didn't he say more like ... His NAME?" I was so fucking angry and irritated. I was so confused. This whole situation vexxed me so much. It was like reading a book and suddenly there was a cliff hanger and then it was the end of the chapter. All this unknown information made me feel so frustrated. My head was hurting and all I could think of who was this Mr. King person and why did he even come?

I tried to calm down and think about what has happened so far. I remember driving, getting hit by a truck, waking up and hearing voices. Even though I heard voices, it was still hard for me to coherently understand the words they said. For the past few times I woke up, it was so hard to think or even process information. My mind was awake but all I could see was darkness. If I was in the hospital, then how long has it been? Has my family visited me yet? How injured am I? The fact I couldn't feel my whole body means I must have been severely injured. I felt so mentally exhausted from all that thinking that I slowly fell asleep.
