Chapter 17 - Fainted

"Riya!! Come on wake up" I heard a masculine voice. And I felt someone shaking my shoulders roughly, trying to wake me up.

  I opened my eyes slowly and faced David and his assistant Nick. "Are you alright? baby " David asked while concerned about Riya.

  I was terrified and completely lost and I don't know how to respond to the things which are happening around me...

  "First of all, don't call me babe. I am not your fiance or wife or girlfriend, stop calling me like that!!" I yelled at David causing him confused.

"Hey Hey, what's got into you? I am worried about you, that's it!" 

By his words, my nerves became cool.

"Is that true?" That's all I asked. 

Both David and Nick stared at each other for some time and turned towards me before David started to speak. 

"Riya, umm... That's true!"

With this word, tears started to roll down my cheeks and I started screaming... 

"Heyy Heyy riya, calm down! Nothing will happen!!!" Nick assured me. 

...........................FLASHBACK.............................

"Yes sir, Riya's mother is in the hospital right now. At present, she is in critical condition." Nick informed David. 

David was shocked, and thinking about how to assure her, that her mother will be fine at any cost. 

Because David is a damn billionaire, he will know how to get things perfect.

............................PRESENT.............................. 

3rd person P. O. V

Riya started crying loudly, and she collapsed on the ground completely. David consoled her and ordered his assistant and bodyguard nick to leave and call the female maid. 

Nick nodded and rushed to the female maiden room. 

Riya P. O. V

"It's all because of me, I shouldn't have left her.."

"Hey, do you trust me?" David said to me while cupping my cheeks with his warm hands. 

  I nodded to him. 

"Perfect! Let's get to your bed, I will take care of everything.." David assured me. 

And he took me in his arms and slowly went to my bedroom. 

He placed me gently on my large fluffy bed. 

"What exactly happened to my mother?" I asked him directly, without looking into him. 

"Bab..." He sounded. 

My gaze immediately drifted to his face causing him to startle. 

"I mean, Riya!"

I sighed "just, please tell me, what's going on? Here. And how does your bodyguard nick know

about my mother's health condition? What is the connection between my family and yours?"

David sighed hard and kept his hand on my cheek and said " I will let you know everything!

Please for me Or at least for your mom, take a rest now.."

I am tired and not having any strength or energy to argue with him.

Slowly, I went to sleep and everything went black and numb...
