Chapter two

3089 Words
Nina’s pov My head was spinning with full of unspoken questions, what did I get myself into? what just happened? What did I do? Did I just get kidnapped? NO, there is no way. Getting kidnapped it’s something you totally don’t expect when you have a boring, but busy life being a doctor. If you think being a doctor it’s thrilling, well you a wrong. Never choose that profession if you want a colorful life. Doctors don’t have a life and if you are married, just forget it you will end up being cheated on and getting divorced eventually. Not that it happened to me but most of my colleagues have been through that. That’s why I decided to be single for the rest of my life. I don’t need anyone in my life except my little Sammy, she’s everything I’ll ever need to be happy. Thinking of Sammy, brought me back to my question, what the hell is going on? “What you think you are doing you asshole?” I yelled to the guy who just took me inside his luxurious car. Since I am not sure if I am being kidnapped, I allowed myself to be a little disrespectful. As far as I am concerned, I am not being blindfolded, chained, or beings abused. I just hope I didn’t make a mistake by yelling at him, I don’t know what he can do to me, he can be a murderer for all I know “Forgive me doll, I have no choice my brother is dying and I need your help” he said like it is a normal thing to say or like he is just talking to a friend instead of a total estranger. “Why didn’t you bring him to the hospital?” I deadpanned. I won’t lied if I say I am not curious to know why not bringing him to the hospital instead of wasting precious time that can save his life? He is already here, why risk being in front of the hospital and not bringing him along? Wait, is he hiding from someone, is he into something illegal? What if they are criminals and don’t want the police to know they are at the hospital? I can’t be a part of that. I know it’s my duty to save lives, I knew it even before a took an oath to save lives. I can’t just let someone die if I can help, criminal or not they deserve a chance, right? I’m rambling, I know, but this is scary. “What makes you think I will help him?” What if I can’t help him anyway? I don’t have too much experience being a doctor and I don’t know his current state. “Well, if you don’t help him…. I will f*****g kill you, but not before killing all your loved ones painfully slow in front of you, one by one, every death will be worse than the last, until you beg me to stop and kill you first, got it?” he smiled diabolically. Jesus. My eyes widened in shock at his words, he can’t do that, can he? He looks so nice, handsome even, but no doubt he is a monster a criminal used to do despicable things. Only a monster can do the things he just said. ‘Not all things are as they seem’ I still remember my father’s words, warning me to be alert all the time, I should have known better. He was right and his words still help me even when he is long gone. “I am a very nice guy doll, but don’t think for a second I am not capable of doing it if you refuse to help my brother” he warned me, he really loves his brother I assume. I would also do everything in my power to save my brother if I had one too. Too bad I don’t know that kind of love. Because I don’t have a brother or any family left for that matter. I was all alone in this world until Sammy came, she is the only family I have now. I guess being an orphan clouded my feelings sometimes, making me a cold blooded person who didn’t give a s**t about other people’s problems, but my own. Why would I care when I didn’t have anyone else in my life? Well, I still don’t care about anyone else except my Sammy and Cassy who is closest to a sister, that’s an improvement I like to think. To be honest I would do anything if one of them was in a situation like this. The little humanity I had improved all thanks to my Sammy. You might ask why I chose to be a doctor if I am so cold? Doctors are caring some people think. Well, not necessarily true, don’t you know all doctors are cold? if not, how are we supposed to tell a person he or she is dying and only has about three months of life, for example if you are not cold? You can’t either be soft if you have a patient who is about to die in your hands. And definitely, you can’t be soft in a situation like the one I am in right at the moment, one sign of weakness and you are done. “Fine, I will help you, you don’t need to threaten me. I will do my best to help your brother, but as soon as I am done you need to bring me back to the hospital someone very important is waiting for me” I bargained. He smiled widely “Deal, you are not only beautiful, but also smart” he complemented me. “I don’t need your complements it’s my duty, what kind of a doctor would I be if I don’t save lives?” I reasoned. “You have a point beautiful, but are you sure you are a doctor? I bet you are even younger than me” he smiled, giving me a clear view of his dimples, is his brother as good looking as he is? Oh, stop it Nina, they are criminals most likely and that question again? I hate it ‘Are you sure you are a doctor? Aren’t you too young?’ what do I look like 18? “I know I am beautiful and definitely look like a doll, but please stop calling me that my name is Nina and yes I am a doctor, here look at my ID, it clearly says Nina Wright, doctor intern” I proudly announced. “What did you say?” He asked shocked. What did I say to make him lose of the color of his face? “I said I am a doctor, look like a doll…” “Not that, your name?” he asked. “Nina Wright” I said, what’s wrong with my name? I thought it was a beautiful name. He looked at me like he has seen a ghost, but soon cleared his throat and he scratched his nape in response “I’m sorry, I overreacted I think, I thought… I just wanted to make sure I got your name correctly” I nodded and smiled to myself, is he being shy now? He was on a macho gangster roll just a moment ago threatening to kill me and now he’s acting like a shy teenager. “I don’t need to know yours though, I don’t want to get in trouble for asking what it’s none of my business” I stated “You really amaze me Nina Wright, anyone in you place would be freaking out, but here you are all collected and cracking jokes like I didn’t just kidnapped you” he smiled. Well, I am being kidnapped after all. To all of those who have a fantasy of being kidnapped by a handsome, but dangerous man, don’t get too excited this can be dangerous or the last thing you do in your life, I just hope that’s not my case. “Well, I guess life taught me to be tough since I don’t have anyone to rely on” I confessed and noticed he went silent after my statement. I think we have more in common than what I thought or something I said bothered him. We ride in an awkward silence for about 20 more minutes until the driver handed him something to cover my face with. “Sorry doll, for yours and our own safety” he said giving me an apologetic smile “Fine with me I understand” I assured him. I know of this kind of life more than he thinks. If you made a wrong move, you end up dead and your body will never be found, I should know it very well. My best and only friend from the orphanage used to tell me how life was being in a drug cartel. I am not 100% sure if that’s what he does and honestly, I don’t intend to know because that’s how she ended up being raped and pregnant then dead leaving Sammy all alone in this world. If it wasn’t for me and Cassandra, Sammy might have ended up in an orphanage just like me and her mother. Kathy was the only one who treated me well when I was sent to the orphanage when I was 10. She was 2 years older than me and one of the oldest one in there, therefore too old to be adopted. Normally, couples always tend to adopt younger children. We became really good friends until she turned 18 and was free to explore the world all by herself. Not having anyone to help her and guide her, she ended up meeting a girl who introduced her to a drug dealer and she fell in love with him. She was blinded by his money and power and ended up losing herself in that life until she lost her life, literally. She used to visit me once in a while and talk to me about him and how amazing and thrilling life was outside the orphanage. I was happy for her thinking she was fine and was treated well by the guy, but I should have known better and warn her to be alert. One day she went to visit me all cover in bruises because she dared to refused to sleep with one of her so called boyfriend’s friend so she ended up being raped by that guy and then Pregnant. Fearing for her life and her baby’s life she run away and hid until she gave birth to Sammy. But she was caught one day and never came back. I never knew who the guy was or if he actually was Sammy’s father. Not that it matters now, she is my daughter and I intend to keep it that way for the rest of my life. She doesn’t need to know what her real mother went through at the hands of her father. Whoever her father is, both of them deceived Kathy, one for forcing her to sleep with someone else and the other for rapping her. They don’t deserve my Sammy, not that they care because they never knew Kathy was pregnant and they will never know because she is dead. The car stopped and I waited for a few seconds until two strong hands grabbed mine helping me out of the car, I am guessing is the guy who kidnapped me or at least I hope it’s him. He led me through a smooth walk way and I heard people welcoming him and updating him on his brother’s state. I also heard some obnoxious guys flirting with me, but not the kind of flirting I would prefer, where the hell did this guy bring me? Anyways I can’t see their faces, maybe one of them is handsome and their flirting would not be so bad after all. Calm down your hormones Nina, I think being away from men in a long time is making you act like a slut, oh but their dirty words are doing something to your body, don’t deny it. Oh god, this can’t be good for my sanity. Why such filthy words got me so worked up? I really need to get laid or I’ll go mad. It’s being a lifetime since I’ve been close to a man. I felt like we walked like forever, I don’t know how long exactly, but sure felt like it until we stopped. He removed the blindfold from my face and I was shocked to see the room I was in. It has all kind of hospital equipment, nothing to envy to the most exclusive hospital rooms I have been before, which means these guys are loaded, most definitely filthy money “I gave him a light sedative a few hours ago, he was in so much pain, he is stable I think and all yours, don’t be afraid to ask for anything you need I will be here to assist you” the guy who was with the patient announced, he looks like he knows what he is doing, but I think he is not a doctor. Maybe just someone who knows the basis in this type of situation. Looking at the place they don’t lack money, I wonder why not have their own private doctor? “Thanks for the heads up” I replied politely, in a place like this and with all the terrible things I heard it is best to be humble and keep my thoughts to myself. “I’ll excuse myself and leave you two to it” his brother said, I nodded and went to the bed to check on the patient. I let out a silent gasp. God, in front of me laid the most handsome man I have laid my eyes on. The guy is young and very handsome I could barely take my eyes off of him, you can tell by looking at him. Despite the state he is in and the fact that he still looks good proves he is quite handsome and those abs are ….What is wrong with me? I am here as a doctor, to treat a patient, not to flirt or get laid for Christ sake. Besides once I am done, I am out of here and I will never see Mr. sexy here, he will never know I was even here. The irony, I always wanted to meet someone like him and now that I have, he won’t even know I exist. I wanted to ask what happened to him, but I bit my tongue. I just decided it would be wise to check for myself and voila. “Two shots” the guy said confirming my assumptions. He has two bullets in his torso, one very close to the heart and just by looking at it, it is the reason he is unconscious. The other one is on his shoulder and should be easy to extract, the one close to the heart not so much, but I need to do my best if a want to walk alive out of this place. By the looks of it, Mr. sexy here is the boss no doubt, or at least I think that’s why I heard one of the guys call him, what did he do to end up like this? Probably shot by his enemy. “Anesthesia” I extended my hand, if what this guy said is right about the sedative, I will not need to wait to give him general anesthesia to proceed to remove the bullets. The effects of the sedative should be about to wear off and safe for anesthesia. I looked to the side and sure enough the guy had everything I need to proceed. I proceeded to extract the one in his shoulder first with the assistance of the guy taking care of him because it was the easiest and fastest one to remove. The other will take time and focus and I can’t rush because I can damage important tissue close to the heart, I think that was the reason the guy didn’t dare to attempt to remove the bullets because one wrong move and he is gone. Thank god, I have everything I need here because I don’t want to ask for anything to those guys. It took me long, but I successfully removed the last bullet without causing additional damage to the patient. I cleaned his wounds and bandaged him while my assistant for the day cleaned up the rest, but I could feel his eyes on me from time to time, I of course refrained myself from asking what the hell his problem was. Only god knows what he can do to me now that his boss is safe. “For a moment I though, the boss got the wrong person” he shook his head, what does he mean wrong person? Oh, right. “You thought I’m too young to be a doctor, too” I scoffed “No offence, you are very good, I’m sorry I doubted you” After we were done my assistant went to get the patient’s brother to give him the news, but not before giving me threatening stare. Does he think I am that stupid to do something to this guy? Besides, who would want to hurt something so…. Magnificent, yes, it is definitely a great word to describe his beauty. Once the brother arrived, I gave him some instructions on how to proceed with his brother, which I think it’s not new to them “Please make him stay in bed at least for two weeks, no strenuous activities, no drinking or drugs if he uses any, keep his wounds dry and clean them every two days. If he has any pain here are some pain killers, other than that he should be fine, he should be awake in a few hours. If you need anything, well too bad I won’t be here to help, I am done take me to the hospital” I demanded with authority and some kind of respect towards him, because let’s be clear I am in his domain and he can do whatever he wants with me and his next words were proof of it. “Not so fast doll, you have to stay here until he wakes up”
