~~ CARMELA'S POV ~~
I closed my eyes tightly as the doctor took my blood sample
If there was one thing I hated in this world except for rats then it's surely injections
" Ma you can leave now," he said and I opened my eyes to find him giving me a wild smile
" You'll be getting your reports tomorrow until then you'll have to make sure you don't skip a meal and make sure you have enough rest okay "
" Y..Yes thanks doctor " I wiped my tears
Feeling so embarrassed
I can't believe I still cry when it comes to injections I'm a grown up for goodness sake
" So even an injection makes you cry " I turned to find zamiel smiling at me which was more of a mocking smile
" Please be kind enough to mind your business " I sniffed and walked out of the doctor's office.
The thought of the little girl I admitted the other day suddenly occurred to me and I turned around to find zamiel walking lazily towards me
" Why did you stop? " he raised an eyebrow
" Will you go bankrupt if you miss work for some more hours? " I asked not looking at his face but my legs
' Seriously Carmela, is that how to talk? , what's even wrong with me ' I scolded myself
" No, why? " He said with a sterned look
" I want to meet a friend of mine," I said with a smile and he eyed me
" And who's this friend of yours that lives in the hospital ?"
" Actually... I..I..saw her that other day, remember the day you locked me in that room to live with those rats " I could see him roll his eyes and sigh
" What a significant way to remember that day..go on "
" The reason I was late was because I saw this little girl lying in the middle of the road in the pool of her blood " I pulled him towards the elevator
" Hmm "
" Don't worry you'll love her she's really cute," I said grinning from ear to ear
We arrive at her room and she had a long face on while the doctor gave us a smile
" Good morning Mr dean I never knew she was related to you," the doctor said but Zamiel didn't even have a look at him talk more of responding to him
" Yes doctor how's she doing?, " I said trying to ease the awkward air
" She's doing great lately "
" That's good to hear " I smiled and walked towards her while Zamiel just stood at the corner
" Hello there, " I said with a smile which she returned
" Hello aunt "
" How are you feeling now ?" I said taking a seat beside her
" Well I'm fine but I hate the smell of the hospital " she rolled her eyes and she looked damn cute
" Aww you'll have to get better so you can leave here okay," I said and she nodded
" so tell me what's you named"
" Amber and you "
" I'm Carmela you have such a cute name "
" Thank you " she gave me a radiant smile
" So Amber, can you tell me where your mama and papa are? And how you got involved in that accident " her expression suddenly changed and I could see tears at the corner of her eye
" I..I.. and my parents went to the ...the park but we got attacked by some really bad men..and they..they shoot both my parents... mum asked me to run but I got hit by a car " she cried and I felt my heart ace
Who would have thought such a young girl would go through such a traumatizing event at such age
" Shh it's okay.. " I hugged her and began patting her
" Aunt wouldn't let anything happen to you okay so you'll have to get well soon " I pecked me and wipe her tears
I never thought we humans were so cruel. How could such a young child be put through so much?
I wouldn't want her to miss both her parents although it's inevitable..I still have to do something
I turned to look at Zamiel who has a straight face not caring about the happenings in the room
would the devil have sympathy for this young child?
" Who is he ? " she tugged the hemming of my skirt dragging me out of my thoughts
" He's my husband, why? "
" He has such a grumpy face like a bodyguard," she said making a face that made me laugh
" shh " I signaled for her to be quiet before she gets us both in trouble
" I'm tired of staying here..and I don't know..if my mum and dad survived " she said with a saddened look
" Get well soon and I'll take you out of here okay,then we'll find your parents" I said with a smile and she nodded
" If you're done here then can we go " Zamiel questioned and I nodded.
" Bye Amber " I placed a peck on her forehead
" Bye aunt Carmela " she waved at me with a huge smile which made my heart flutter.
For some reason, I feel the need to adopt this little girl or find her parents but I'll be needing Zamiel's permission for that.
I turned to look at Zamiel who had been on his phone ever since we entered the car
" Zamiel " I called
" Hmm "
" Can I ask you for something? "
" Hmm " wow that was quick and unlike him
" Can I have a child?" I pouted holding the hemming of my skirt and feeling the air in the car get tensed up
" Do you always have to get these strange episodes whenever we go to the hospital?..." He looked up at me
" The last time you challenged me to make me love you and now you want a child...Carmela, are you sure you aren't allergic to hospitals or something? " he raised an eyebrow making me feel nervous
" N..no it's not what you think I just want to adopt Amber " I spoke up
" What?... Is it even possible for a child to adopt a child? " He said with a chuckle
what does he mean by a child adopting a child?
" Wait wait wait just hold on a second. Are you by chance calling me a child? " I turned to face him
"Aren't you a child? "
" HELLO !! Zamiel Dean I'm a full-grown adult, and a woman to be precise " I said proudly
" Now I'm not going to hear the end of this " he scoffed and I gasped
" What do you mean by that ?... are you trying to say I talk too much "
" We both know the truth so I don't have to say anything " he scoffed in a cold voice
what a cold-hearted husband I have but I can't l say anything unless my plans would go down in ashed
" Since you want a child I'll think about it but I have a condition " he turned to face me
" What is your condition?" I said becoming excited but seeing his expression something tells me I shouldn't be so excited.
" You'll have to give me triplets "
It took me some time to register what he just said.
I imagine myself with a big stomach looking out of shape and then me chasing three naughty kids with my hair scattered and me getting skinny because I hardly have a proper meal as the kids keep coming up with mischief
" NO !!!! " I screamed " I'm just too young to have three kids especially if they are like you and me getting older than my age
HELL NO ZAMIEL DEAN
it ain't possible " I looked up to find a smirk on his face
" Then forget about Amber "
" Ahhh why in hell are you like this "
" what, what did I do our marriage hasn't been up to a month and you want to adopt a child really
I'm supposed to have your undivided attention "
" B..But …You said I'm nothing to you and our marriage is just a year and after that, we'll get divorced, " I said and a smirk appeared on his face
" Baby, Zamiel Dean never lets go of whatever he sets his eyes on " He smirked and went back to him phone
Wait, what does he mean by that?
Well it better don't affect me and my future freedom.
The car came to a halt, I came out of it to find we were at the parking lot of Zamiel's office but the strange thing was he's was the only car there with four other cars
" Good morning sir " a slim man about six to seven feet tall approached us and Zamiel just nodded
" Carmela he's my PA, he'll take you to my office…sit there quietly and don't come up with anything funny I have some important work to attend to," he warned strictly and I just nodded
His PA handed him another car key and he headed towards the black sports car in the parking lot and he drove towards us
" make sure you be a good girl and I'll surely reward you for that " he said more like an order and drove off
~~ CARLENE'S POV ~~
I got a call from Zamiel asking me to meet him at a restaurant
" Why does he want to meet me now? " I sighed, getting to the location he asked me to meet him.
The restaurant was quiet and creepy and there was no one in the restaurant except me
What does this devil want from me now?
I heard footsteps and looked up to find Zamiel Dean walking toward me. His dominating aura was present and I could feel my knees weaken to be sincere if I wasn't sitting I would have fallen to the floor
" Hello dear sister in law " his cold voice resounded sending shivers down my spine
" W..what do you want? " I went straight to the point and a devilish smirk appeared on his face
" I just have one question "
" Which is it ?"
I couldn't bear spending another minute here
" Can you tell me what exactly happened in the club a few days before I married your sister ... but before that have some water as it's gonna be a long talk "
I picked up the glass of water and drank it in one go
since he wants to know about that night I'll gladly tell him I would want to avoid anything that could make my stay longer here
"That night I and Carmela sneaked out of the house since we were bored and when we arrived at the club I offered to go get us both a drink, I came back with Michael but couldn't find Carmela and ... "
what the fuck am I saying and why can't I stop talking, I looked up to find Zamiel smiling and something told me he did something
" And ?"
" I saw you with Carmela, I and Michael wanted to take her home but we lost her
The next day when we found her with my dad's help…" I tried to stop myself from speaking but it was to no avail
" We got home and Carmela forgot her phone in my room and that was when I saw the videos you sent, I came to you pretending to be her "
" Thank you sister law have this unless you might get yourself in trouble " he threw a bottle filled with a liquid which I drank up immediately and the urge to speak quickly died out
" what the fuck did this devil give me? " I couldn't stop wondering how Carmela tend to cope with this monster
I just can't help but feel bad knowing I have pushed my sister into her early grave and I just hope she can forgive me
