Wu Tian's POV:
I was startled when the bedroom door opened suddenly.
A lady maybe in her fifties with average height and delicate features entered the room, wearing a dress which seems to be a uniform of some sort.
As I took in her, she too looked at me in surprise and exclaimed, "Oh miss you woke up? How are you feeling now? I shall call Dr. Zhi to take a look at you!" saying that she scurried away in a hurry.
Before I could respond or ask anything she was out of the door.
I sighed as I slumped back and memories from last night flooded back to me making me remember the accident, the car which knocked me over and a tall angry man shouting something at me which I can't remember.
This could be that man's house. I can't really recall his face but I do remember his voice. Especially the velvety tone of it.
I must have knocked my head pretty hard if I am metaphoring the voice.
I also realised I don't really remember how I came to be here, it must be something to do with how out of my mind I felt last night.
This house must be that man's house or something.
I took in the interior of the room and realised all the dark colors that coats the wall resembling nothing less than the charcoals of a burnt pot.
The room is suffocating to say the least and so I tried to sit up again to get out of here as this room is suffocating me with all the dark colors.
I have always liked darkness, even in color palettes because they felt like home. I was always able to blend into anonymity. They guarded me with their darkness and I relished in it because it gave me solace which my family was never able to.
But suddenly, now this room is making me suffocate with their darker tones.
I got up and limped to the door and the various kinds of pains shoot up in my body making me almost loose my footing but I kept walking.
I was out of the door and looked around to find an exit but it was long hallways with no clear sign of exit that greeted me.
I sighed and took the random direction and started walking on it.
But before I could take more than two steps, tha lady from earlier was back with a man walking beside her.
I looked at him carefully, he is not the guy from last night. Though I didn't see the man's face yesterday night he did seem a lot more different than him.
I don't know how I can tell but I just do.
The man took the last few steps before stopping in front of me, "What the hell are you doing?"
I raised an eyebrow at that. Letting the man explain himself because I am not much of a talker. Never have been. I don't like to talk, especially with strangers and that is why I hardly ever speak with anyone. I'm a person of a fewer words.
"I mean what are you doing out of your bed this soon? You might be gravely injured and your injuries needs some rest."
"And who are you again?"
"I am the doctor who saw to you last night and stitched you up while you were out like light." He explained but I don't feel much of gratitude as maybe I didn't wanted to get better.
Last few days have been dark even for a person like me.
"Well thank you for that but you didn't have to." I thanked him with bare minimum words, just the way I'm taught by Dr. Moore, my Therapist, expressing my gratitude to someone who saved my life.
"Now please kindly show me the exit. I wish to leave and not being a bother anymore."@
"Exit, of where?" The doctor and the maid seemed perplexed but then a voice sounded from behind me and I felt a shiver shooting up my body, jolting me lightly.
"And where do you think you are going?"
I turned to look at the man walking towards me.
As he walked closer I realised he is the man from yesterday. The one whose car I got knocked by. As I took in him I felt a small tingle erupting in my stomach.
This man is beautiful with strong sharp features and chiseled jaw which I swear might break the hardest of surface with a snap. His tall stature gave a magnetic allure to his body, making me feeling a little overwhelm.
I was snapped back to reality with his words.
I stood standing still for a second before I responded.
"None of your business" I said in a dismissal tone.
"Well it is my business, you like it or not."
"Excuse me!"I glared at him, handsome or not he doesn't look like he has manners.
Reminds me of what Dr. Moore told me about the different types of common personality that exists in people when he was teaching me the basics of how to differentiate in the moods of the people by their words.
I am not normal, I have zero emotional range. Not genetic, according to what my therapist assessed over the years. Just the part of growing up in a cold dead family, I guess.
"Well you might have lost your memory but I didn't, you came in front of my car and tried to commit suicide yesterday." He said accusingly, as if I really jumped in front of his car to die.
"What?" I asked utterly speechless.
The audacity of this man, for saying whatever nonsense he was saying without an ounce of shame on the man's face.
"Why would you think that I would do something like that. In fact you were the one who knocked into me. So back off okay. I don't want to press any charges on you. I just want to leave so please show me the way out." I asked getting all riled up over the antics if this man.
"As I said you are not leaving here until you are better." he said making my words sound useless.
"What the hell? you can't keep me here against my will." I proclaimed.
Never, I mean never in my existence I have ever felt this much furious. Hurt and anger, but furious, never.
"Oh I can and I will and you can see." he challenged.
"Mr. Whatever is your name. I have some important things to take care of and it would be better if you show me the way out or god's swear I would sue you for trying to keep me in here against my will." I threatened him as this man is now sounding totally mad and crazy!
"Don't think for one second that I am doing this for any other purpose than to stop you from blackmailing me with money or anything. I don't have time for that. I too don't want you here, it's just you were knocked out by my car, so I would see to it that you get well and in better condition so you won't come after me in the future with any false allegations." he sneered the last few words, speaking utter nonsense with a straight, handsome nonetheless, infuriating face.
"Why would you think I would do that? you don't even know me." I tried to reason with him.
"I'm not stopping you from leaving, just stay for a few days until my doctor gives you a clean health slate and you can very much see yourself out of house." he said, his words equally infuriating me as much as his face.
Handsome or not, he is the devil for sure. And a totally infuriating one at that.
"Fine but only for a few days. But I have a few conditions before I do that." I tried to keep my anger at bay which mind you is a emotion I'm least familiar with.
I can count the number of rare times I have ever felt anger.
But with this man, not only am I feeling angry but also mad. Mad at him for trying to control me like this.
Mad at everyone basically for messing with my life. I stopped my train of thoughts before it could take any darker turn and focussed on the man standing in front of me.
"What?"he raised an eyebrow but nodded at me to continue.
"I can leave and come back whenever I want. No restrictions." I put forth my only condition.
"Okay but only if you tell me about it." he agreed easily but his next words spiked my anger further.
I truly have never felt this much anger over anything in my life. Not even at my parents who have actually done more than a few too many questionable things in their lives.
"Why would I do that. Why would I need to tell you anything? Who are you even?" I fired back at him.
"Oh, don't think too much about it. It's just I should know your moves to see if you don't go to police or anything alleging to any false statements." he said with a shrug of his shoulder.
God, I am hating this man more and more every second.
I gritted my teeth silently and without saying anything more, walked back to the room I came out from, leaving the document and the maid and that man standing in the hallway.

Hope you all like it.
I would love to know your thoughts about this chapter!
