Arias pov
I was busy in the office when i got a call from Claire donton, that had never happened before, so what could be the reason now.
I picked up the call and she told me that Selena is in the hospital and I should reach immediately.
Very tensed I dropped all work and drove my way to the hospital, when I reached Selena was in the ICU.
"What on earth happened with my daughter?" I asked Claire who looked tensed as she sat there on the wheelchair.
" I don't know what happened, she was alone in the living room studying, she must have slipped by accident and hit her head" Claire replied avoiding eye contact with me.
" What do you mean to tell me happened with my daughter, what's with the head injury and how did it happen in your house" I inquired again because what she said sound far from the truth.
" Aria it's clearly an accident, no one would dare to hurt her, she is the daughter of the donton family after all" Claire said, daughter of the donton family my foot, she is my daughter and I don't believe it's an accident.
" Oh really, are you telling me my daughter is so clumy that she went and hit her head without knowing, this had never happened before so why should I believe it's just an accident now. I have noticed my daughter hasn't been happy and looks very timid these days, and I promise you if anything happens to her and anyone in your house has a hand in it trust me am gonna make you all suffer" I warned and my warning was nothing close to an empty threat, I can bury the whole family if they have a hand in my daughters condition.
" Aria calm down, our daughter would be alright am sure of it, just pray for her ok" the annoying voice of George said as he placed his hands around my shoulder. This idiot had been trying his luck with me and I feel totally disgusted by his attempts.
" Take your hands off me" I warned as I looked him over my shoulder.
He withdrew his hands and placed it in his pockets and I kept strolling outside the ICU. I should probably inform dad and the rest, but maybe I shouldn't bother them because Matteo's condition isn't that good as well.
20 mins more and the doctor came out. " How is selenas condition doctor, is my daughter alright" I rushed and asked.
" For now, I can't say anything, we have managed to stop the bleeding, the next 48hrs are critical for her, if she manages to regain concious before then, then all is fine if not she might slip into a coma" the doctor said and I felt as thou a bucket of cold water had been dropped on my head.
" Thank you doctor, can we meet her now" George asked.
" She is been moved to the ward for now, you can meet her, but don't make too much noise" the doctor warned and walked off.
I saw my daughters body strolled out of the ICU on a stracher, she looked pale, her head was bandaged and they were bright red spots on her arms.
Those spots could only be due to beating not from falling. As the nurse took her away I turned back to George and Claire.
" Who the hell hit my daughter" I asked, a storm brewing inside of me.
" No..no, no one can do that, why would anyone hit Selena, she is precious to us like she is to you" George said his voice trembling, and why would his voice tremble if he wasn't lying.
I took two steps and stopped right in front of George, I looked him in the eye and he couldn't hold the eye contact, he is definitely lying, could he be the one that hit Selena?. "Tell me George donton, are you the one to hit my daughter?. If you tell me the truth now the consequences won't be so severe, but if I find out on my own, I will make you beg for death I swear" I warned him, if he is wise he would say the truth if not wait for my retardation.
" What are you even saying Aria, just because you are the mother and you raised her for years alone doesn't mean my son, who is her father, doesn't love or care about her. Just look at the fear in his eyes, poor boy, he is afraid to loose his lost found daughter. He is in pain as much as you are but you are standing here accusing him instead of comforting him, what a shame" Claire said and turned her face to the side.
" Oh really, I should be comforting him, when it's very well possible he is the reason my daughter is in this condition. In her whole 6 and half years of existence, she had never been so hurt, she had never been so timid and scared, and she had never had to lie in the hospital or undergo any operation of the sort. It all happened when we started living with you, and you want him to comfort your son, who looks more scared for himself than my daughter, do you even know the pain of a mother to see her child in such a condition, huh?" I said as I felt like breaking into tears.
" Am not saying that and I didn't mean that, I just meant you had spent far more time with Selena than George, and he feels love and concern for his daughter, and in less than two weeks of having her in his life she is in this condition, so it's only right if as parents you comfort eachother" Claire replied looking anywhere but my direction.
" Oh is it, don't you forget, I only agreed to live with your family, for your sake and for my daughter's sake. I thought I couldn't let a mother die like that without fulfilling her wish of having a complete home, because I thought that atleast my daughter deserves to livr with her biological family. But what happened, for that single decision of mine, my daughter is in the hospital and I can do nothing about that. And am very sure, that you two have a hand in whatever is happening to her, right now it's just a hunch, but once I get the prove of my claims, you all are dead" I promised them and myself before walking out.
