Arias pov
I went back to the donton house, I need to know what happened with my daughter.
" Gather all the servants" I said to the maid I found in the living room. They were 10 staffs in the donton house overall, two gatemen, a butler, a cook and 6 maids.
In less than 3 mins all the servants stood in a row, with their heads hund low. " Tell me what happened to Selena, and how did she end up in the hospital" I asked them in a cold tone.
" Miss Aria, we know nothing, believe us" the butler said. " You all have families don't you, if you want your families safety then open your mouth and tell me the truth otherwise it would take me only 10 mins to track your family, and you won't like what would happen next" I threatened them.
I have no intention of hurting anyone, but a little threat is accepted for my daughter's safety.
" Miss Aria, I promise I know nothing. I finished cleaning the living room when ms Selena entered and said she wanted to study, I left her alone there and went inside to continue my work with the others, while the cook was making lunch, we all rushed her after hearing Ms Selena's screams, that's all we know, please spare us Ms Aria" another maid said falling to her kneels and all the other maids fell to their knees as well.
" How can I know you are telling the truth?" I asked.
" We swear on our families Ms Aria" they all said in unison.
Very well then, it truly seems like they know nothing.
" MR butler, go and get me the security footage of this house, now" I commanded, if they knew nothing, then the security footage would reveal everything.
" But...but, but Ms Aria, madam had the security cameras removed since last month, she said there was no need of it" the butler said.
What in the world, why will they have the cameras removed, for what reason. Now because of that I can't even find out what really happened with my daughter.
I ran my hands through my hair and took a deep breath, my life is getting messy real quick, and my sweet daughter, is lying there in the hospital bed, oh Lord, show mercy upon my child please, I begged in my head silently.
My rumbling stomach reminded me that I haven't had anything since morning and it was already 5pm. I need to be strong for my little princess so that when she opens her eyes she will see her mommah al good and healthy.
" You can all go, but yes trust me, if I find out you lied about knowing nothing, I will skin you alive and feed Yoh to the dogs" I threatened the maids who nodded their heads and dispatch to continue their work.
I went to my 'room', not my room, but my current living space, and I won't live here anymore once my daughter recovers, I affirmed to myself.
I went into the shower and let the cold water embrace my body and cool down the fire in my heart, I stood under the pouring shower for 30 mins, reminiscing over my baby's memories. I subconsciously touched the necklace Steven gave me when I gave birth to Selena, letting my hands feel the words, " cool mom".
Pushing the thought back to mind, I came out and changed into more comfortable clothes, a long skirt and a t-shirt, I wore a pair of sneakers and tied my hair back.
What a mother am I, huh, getting all comfortable and cozy while my poor child is in the hospital, but no one knows how my soul is shattering into pieces but I push myself to get comfortable so that I could better take care of my daughter, and when she regains concious she will see her mommah is all well.
I ate the food in silence, after finishing I texted Steven to take care of the work in my stead as Selena is in the hospital.
As soon as I got to the car Steven called.
" Hello Aria, how are you" he said oddly.
" Am fine Steven, physically am fine, but mentally am far from fine" I answered.
" I saw your text and I think it should be a mistake or typing error, or is it true that Selena is in the hospital" he asked me.
He is in doubt and doesn't want to accept it, after all he is so attached to Selena and as far as I can accept the fact, he can't either. He isn't the father and he certainly wasn't the one to undergo the labor pain, but he was there every step of the way of my parenthood.
He shared almost equal sleepless nights with me, was there on every doctors appointment, always cooking for me, and was there during the painful childbirth, so he certainly is far more concerned and attached to Selena than George could ever be.
" It's true Steve, Selena is in the hospital, she was just out of the ICU, and the next 48 hrs are critical for her" I said my voice breaking down into small sobs.
" How the hell did it happen Aria, how is Selena now, how did she get injured, ICU, Aria what happened to Selena for goodness sake" Steven said his voice growing higher with each word.
" I don't know Steve, I don't know, I was just at the office when Claire called me and told me Selena is in the hospital hence I rushed there. It was a head injury and the doctor said if she doesn't regain conciousness in the next 48 hrs then she is likely to slip into a coma" I said, hot tears flowing down my face, I could no longer keep it in.
" And you didn't find it necessary to tell me, Aria don't forget, I love Selena as much as you do, but you didn't find it important to tell me that she is in the hospital, forget all that, which hospital is she, am coming right now" Steven said in anger and I could feel his anger sipping from the phone.
" It's not like that Steven, I just didn't want to stress anyone further, matteo is already sick as it is, am really sorry" I said with tears breaking out of my eyes.
" It's not your fault, but atleast you should have considered me important enough to know what is happening with Selena. Now please let's keep all this aside, which hospital are you?" Steven asked again.
" New life hospital" I replied.
" Okay, I would be there in 30 mins" Steven said and cut the call.
