Chereads / An Ill-Fated Romance / Chapter 5 - Chapter 5

Chapter 5 - Chapter 5

Tristana woke to find she was handcuffed to her hospital bed and Cristoff sitting bedside waiting for her to wake up.

"Where am I?" Tristana asked groggily.

"Babe, I had you moved to another facility to protect you." Cristoff explained.

"Protect me? From what?"

"The staff was abusive to you." Cristoff lied.

"Don't you mean you took me away so the staff wouldn't catch onto what you were doing to me, not to mention, keep me away from Justin?" Tristana accused, seeing right through Cristoff.

But Tristana and Cristoff were interrupted when Gina, the CNA assigned to Tristana came in to check on her, "I'm sorry to bother you two, but I'm here to get Ms. Rodrigues' vital signs."

"Sure, come on in," Cristoff said, stepping out of the way to make room for Gina to do her job. "I'll just check on this call coming in while you're doing that."

"Yes?" Cristoff answered once he was out of earshot of Tristana.

"Sir, we have a problem?" Cristoff's Beta warned.

"What is it?!"

"Justin is onto you and looking for your fiancee."

"Damn it!" Cristoff said angrily. "Thanks for letting me know."

After ending the call, Cristoff came back into Tristana's room after the CNA left and let her know he had to leave and take care of something that came up.
