Shocked and scared at the same time when a kiss landed on my forehead, this guy really pissed me off. I had just closed my eyes for a minute and he was already acting all over me. Reynand walked towards the door, with his neat clothes I guessed he would be home late today and that was good news for me, because I could rest in peace.
My condition wasn't too bad and I was able to sit on the edge of the bed now without anyone including Linda knowing. An hour after Reynand left there was a knock on the door, luckily I had leaned back and when the door opened it was James who came to visit me this time. I smiled at him, as promised he finally came in a white coat with a stethoscope around his neck. I told him I was fine, he nodded and sat on the edge of the bed.
We both spent two hours together, I can say that his arrival slightly reduced the annoyance Reynand had given me. We talked about a lot of things and what was even more surprising was that they were both brothers.
James was quieter when he was talking, his softer voice might be able to hypnotize every eye that looked at him, physically James was no less attractive than Reynand but if I had to choose maybe I would choose to talk a lot of things with James.
When I first met him, I thought he was just like Reynand, cold and annoying. But the two of them were so different, 180 degrees different. I was still a good listener to him, he told me about all the patients he dealt with at the hospital. It seemed like a lot of patients praised him because the way he dealt with people so calmly must have made anyone want to linger with him. But since I was injured and trapped in this house, I was able to meet him. I consider it my good fortune to have met a kind-hearted man like James. I felt the burden that was shackling my heart slowly opening up, I felt comfortable being able to exchange many things with him.
Unfortunately, before I could answer his question about my encounter with his stubborn brother, Reynand was already standing behind the door listening to everything we talked about. I hated seeing that terrifying look in his eyes, his steps quickened and he dragged James forcibly out of the room. Reynand slammed the door and locked it, leaving the two of us together in this spacious room.
My heart beating so fast, it seemed like something bad happen to me now. I squeezed the bed sheet hiding my fear of him, he looked at me sharply removing his tie and unbuttoning his neck. He came closer and held both my hands, I could feel the anger from the expression on his face. Reynand was getting closer only a few centimeters away from my face and his grip was getting stronger, I tried to turn my face away from him but Reynand made me cling to him even more.
"I just left you for a while and you already dare to talk so much with a stranger"
"Isn't he your brother?"
"Brother? Is that so? do we look like brothers?"
"A..ahh... it hurts! Let go of my hand"
"You will feel more pain if you dare to break my rules!"
"No I'm not, I'm just talking to him and you can't stop me Reynand! Let go of my hand it hurts please"
"I'll replace your favorite doctor, starting today he will never see you again! do you understand?"
"What?!"
"If you obey me I will not be so rude to you! you are mine Aletta! No one can come near to you now promise me"
"You've locked me here, is that not enough for you?"
"Just say you will do what I want, don't make me more upset!"
"I promise"
His firm grip finally loosened and I could see the red circles on my wrists. Reynand went towards the bathroom, and I looked down in tears. It had only been a short while since I'd felt comfortable with someone else and he'd taken it away. Yes, that man was like a demon occupying this hell. I don't know how long Reynand was in the bathroom, maybe he was soaking in the bathtub trying to put out the fire that was still burning in his heart. I lay facing the window, the scent of masculine parfume I smelled indicated Reynand was behind my back.
Half lying down his hand stroked my long hair, his heavy voice began to echo in my ears. His hands still moving Reynand gave me a warm kiss on the head trying to break the ice, he offered me something I really wanted which was to get out of this room. I don't know what else will happen to me after this, now he's trying to gently caress my cheek and persuade me to take a walk with him. I nodded my head to give a 'yes' answer to his invitation, Reynand was seen taking something, he returned to bring me a wheelchair.
He pushed it slowly, and as I passed through the door of the room all I could think about was what if he pushed this wheelchair so hard that I fell and broke a bone. I couldn't think tonight, when Reynand took me to a place I'd never seen before I was so surprised. This man with a heart of ice that refuses to melt has a beautiful garden. He offered me to sit on the chair that was already there, I declined and chose to sit on the wheelchair opposite him. I admired the flowers in this garden so much, so many and so beautiful, I couldn't even mask my admiration with a smile on my lips.
"Should I pick these flowers to keep in your room dear?"
"Aren't you going to regret picking these roses? this garden is so pretty"
"You like it?"
"Yes..."
"If you like it then this garden is yours now"
"Reynand?"
"Hmm?"
"Can you take your hands off my face?"
"Just a moment, I'm not going to kiss you just to look at your face"
"How can you not kiss me with your face almost pressed together?"
"You can keep my promise Aletta..."
Tonight the terrifying demon turned into an angel filled with serenity. I let his hands rest on my face, rubbing my cheeks gently with his thumbs. The look of anger was gone, replaced by a pair of calm eyes. For the first time he didn't scare me but just the opposite, I lowered his hands from my face then Reynand took me in his arms and made my body lean against his body sitting on the chair. What I did with Reynand tonight made me feel a strange feeling. He was still holding me tightly, closing his eyes and enjoying every second we spent together. It was strange that when he picked me up and made me sit on his lap my body didn't resist, following his every whim. What made this stubborn man turn good instantly and it seemed like a trap to me.
"Is it makes you comfortable?"
"Shhh... shut up... let me calm down for a while"
"But it's getting late, the air is getting cold Reynand. you're not going to make me sick right?"
"Of course... can I see your hand?"
"What do you want to see?"
"The grip of my hand earlier"
"My hand is better, I'm fine. Take me back now please"
"Let me carry you to your room, as my apology for hurting you"
"You're not planning anything with me, are you?"
"Are you afraid of me?"
"No..."
"ok we're go back now"
I was still awake until he disappeared behind the door, but it seemed like there was something I really didn't know. He didn't even ask me to sleep in his room again, and now I couldn't get rid of the questions that started popping up in my heart. If it was true that Reynand was planning something I shouldn't have spent time like tonight again. I don't want to get caught up in the feelings he's deliberately creating to make me comfortable, because eventually he'll dump me too, and I need to get that contract as soon as possible.
