Chapter ten

Nina’s pov Why did it turn out to be this way? we were practically out of this damn house, until the brother asked me to check on Julian one last time before we went home. What a f*****g coincidence the asshole decided to wake up just the moment I was about to leave the emergency room. What a cruel joke because that changed everything for us. It’s been three days now since Julian woke up but has refused to leave his room until he is completely recovered. The old lady says he is a proud man and doesn’t want anyone to see him that way. Did what I say to him when he woke up is the reason he went into hiding? No, I don’t think so, why would it affect him? Besides, I was just kidding when I called him weak and thin, weak; most definitely, because it’s normal after a few days of being injured, but thin; never, he is so hot and sexy, why is he so insecure? Doesn’t he own a mirror? Doesn’t he know how insanely handsome he is? The old lady is the only one allowed to go to his room, not even me that I am the doctor, so why keep us here if he doesn’t need a doctor? There is something weird going on, wasn’t he the one who didn’t want me in his house? I just don’t get why he doesn’t let me see him, I’m a doctor, I have seen worst. He has lost some weight since the accident, but honestly, I still think he looks hot and sexy. Why can’t I just stop thinking about him? I need to stop this nonsense before I end up hurt, but what surprised me the most was his decision to make us stay a few more days and then I will have to comeback every weekend until he decides otherwise. Well, I had no choice, is either that or they would kill me and keep my Sammy as their own and I’ll be damned if I let that happen. If it was only me, I would have thought about my answer I little longer, who I am kidding, being here is dangerous, but I would not give up my life for something so small. Coming back once a week is not a big deal, right? but with Sammy I had no choice but to agree to his demands. “Nina Julian wants to see you in his room” the old lady said coming into my room and I panicked a little. I’ve been dreading this day since he woke up, this people are so unpredictable, one day they are fine the next day the total opposite. I’ve been begging his brother to convince him to let us go, but he said there is nothing he can do, when his brother decides something there is nothing in this world that can make him change his mind. I just don’t get why he is adamant in keeping us here. I get it, he doesn’t trust me and thinks I will go to the police, but I am not that stupid, I love life, I love my daughter and my job. I want to live and find love, I want to have kids of my own one day, I want to grow old besides the man I choose to spend the rest of my life with. Being here made me change my perspective of live. I don’t want to be alone anymore. “Do you know what he wants? Is he in a good mood? Do you think he wants to kill me? is he finally going to let us go? Did he say anything to you?” I asked question after question, because I am a nervous wreck. What if he noticed I liked him and gets mad at me? No, I need to be strong and hide my feelings for him, how hard can it be? Then I’ll convince him to let us go. Even if I feel like dying if he says something to me. I will be strong, just the way he looked at me the other day had my legs going weak and my heart jumping inside my chest. I’ll be strong and try not to succumb in front of him I comforted myself, it can’t be good for me showing all my weaknesses to him, he can use it against me. No, I will not give him the satisfaction to make me break. I made my way to his room through the long corridor, his room was the last one on the right while the brother’s room was the one on the left. There was another room at the very end of the hall but was the only room I was not allowed to set foot on, I didn’t mind. Curiosity killed the cat. Since Julian said he will not kill me, they decided to show me the entire house, since according to them I am part of their family now. I took a big deep breath to control my fast beating heart and knocked on his door “Come in” I heard his deep and sexy masculine voice and I felt my legs go weak again. Why does he affect me so much? I composed myself in an instant, opened the door and entered with my head held high, if today is my last day I will die with dignity, no asshole would bring me down. “Hello sir, you wanted to see me?” I asked looking at him straight in the eyes, he had that stone face he had the day he woke up, but he won’t intimidate me today. That day I was... well never mind the reasons, we are here now and let see what he wants from me. “Yes doctor, I want you to check me up and if you consider I am fine now. Well, you can go back to your life” I was stunned, nervous, relieved, sad and happy at the same, is that even possible? Is he playing with me now? He said we had to stay, now that we can go, make up your mind asshole, not now Nina, this is not time to show your attitude, I have a patient to check, nothing else, just pretend it’s another day at the hospital “Sure thing” I said nearing him and checked his shoulder first. “Well, your shoulder looks just fine, it is completely healed only the scar, but you know that won’t go away any time soon. Now, can you take your shirt off please so I can check the other wound?” “I can’t do it myself; do you mind?” He raised a brow at me. I didn’t mind at all to be honest, but I could not tell him this, is he flirting with me now? Doesn’t he hate women? No, he is trying to trick me into something, maybe this is a test, but I won’t fall for it. “No problem, can you lift your arms a little please?” I asked and he complied. I had to get close to him and I felt his hot breath tickling my face, I felt like fainting at his closeness, but I pretend that it was not affecting me at all. I removed his shirt with no hesitation or struggle and put it on the bed next to him. He was sitting on the edge on the bed, so it was awkward for me to check him. At the hospital all I have to do is raise the bed and we will be at the same level, but here, I had to go a little lower maybe on my knees to check on his chest. I felt him take a deep breath as soon as my hand touched his skin. “Sorry my hands are cold” I apologized, but he thought there was another reason for my cold hands apart from washing them with cold water, who am I kidding? His closeness is driving me crazy “Are you nervous doctor?” he asked, of course I am, I screamed in my head. My hands are freezing because I am so f*****g nervous to be so close to him “No, why would I?” I lied, but he didn’t say anything else, I think he doesn’t believe me, but it’s ok with me. Who cares what he thinks? I made circular motion movements on his wound and added a little bit of pressure, but he didn’t hiss in pain meaning it is completely healed. I smiled and looked at him “The wound in your chest is also healed, you can go back to your normal activities, I just recommend no strenuous activity or weightlifting for at least two more weeks, no alcohol, other than that you look fine” I said and adjusted my dress to get up and don’t show something I shouldn’t. Since I was done with his check up, I decided to leave but he cleared his throat making me look at him in confusion “Anything else you need sir?” “I didn’t say you can go doctor” He said getting up from the bed with just sweat pants on, his bare muscular chest at full display for my eyes to see, I gulped nervously, this is it, he is going to kill me. “I’m sorry, I didn’t know you need anything else, what else can I do for you?” I asked politely because for sure I don’t want to have a long and painful death. “Relax doctor I’m not going to hurt you and sure there are so many things you can do for me” he gave me a dangerous sexy smile. I scoffed, I know his words had another meaning, which I am not sure what to think of “Who, says I am not relax? In fact, I’m static to go home. I just asked you what else do you need or what else should I say when I am here against my will?” I said petulantly forgetting I needed to be polite in case he kills me “That little mouth of yours can get you in trouble doctor” He stated raising a brow. I saw his lips curled up, but just a little if I wasn’t that focused on his lips, damn, I would have missed it. f**k, this man is dangerous for my crazy hormones, so devilishly handsome. I know I should be afraid, but not for the reason he thinks, but I won’t tell him that. “You should be more careful, aren’t you afraid?” “Why would I be? If you wanted to kill me you would have done it by now, and if you decide to kill me, I am not afraid of dying, the only thing I am afraid of in this life is leaving my daughter alone with criminals like you” I said straight to his face. If he is going to kill me, it won’t be before I say a few things in his handsome face. This time a saw him smirk and he did not hide it, well that was a sight to see, he is so damn gorgeous “Are you pretending to be brave doctor? Do you know what happened to the last one who did just that?” “He is dead, I know” I shrugged “You really are not afraid of dying” he stated “Of course, I am, aren’t you? but I am a doctor, I see people be born and die every day, it is just how things work. You are born, do what you are meant to do then you die that’s all” I said nonchalantly, he seemed a little shocked by my bluntness. “I have never seen someone as cold as you, I am impressed?” I scoffed and looked at him “Says the one who has killed tons of people, at least I have never killed anyone. What do you really want from me sir? if you are going to kill me, let’s get this over with or just let me and my daughter go and don’t bother us anymore” “Tons in a big number, don’t flatter me too much and aren’t you asking too much doctor?” He asked and I stared at him, flatter him. Oh please, he should be ashamed and repenting for all those people he has killed and he thinks I am flattering him? What an arrogant man “Didn’t you just say 10 minutes ago if you were fine, you would let us go? Ahhh, I know, you are the kind of man who doesn’t keep his promises, huh? What do I expect from a criminal like you?” I scoffed and he grinned for the first time, like I said something funny. “Do you like me doctor?” Now it was my turn to grin and remove the smug grin from his face “Nope, not at all, I don’t like jerks” I said giving him my signature bright smile. He was taken aback by my response, but he composed himself quickly. “Well doctor if that is the case you can go now, but remember our deal, you will stop by and report to us every weekend, do something stupid and your precious daughter will bear the consequences. I will ask one of my guys to drop you off at your house” he said and I was shocked a little by his threat, this was the first time I see the dangerous side of Julian “Don’t worry sir, I don’t have a death wish and I certainly don’t want anything to happens to my daughter” I said giving him a kiss in his cheek, running away from his room and leaving him frozen on the spot. Hah he was expecting that. I am leaving I squealed, I am f*****g leaving this place after two agonizing weeks. I also felt like a high schooler giggling and running away after I kissed him. At least I got to kiss him and keep that as my best memory of this place. I will be back I know, but it won’t be the same. I will come say hi spend some time here, maybe try to hide from him and then go, that was the deal, fine by me. I went straight to my room and started packing everything that belongs to Sammy and me, the rest will stay here. I took Sammy’s back and got out a new change of clothes for her and set her on the bed removing her dirty clothes. “Hey my love, we are going home to Cassy are you excited? I Am, I miss her a lot and my job” I said tickling her a little and she just squirmed and giggled with my touch. “You are so beautiful my love” I said in between kisses in her belly. “Just like her mother” I froze when I heard his voice, but I recovered fast and covered Sammy with the sheets “Can’t you knock? I know this is your house, but don’t you see I am changing my daughter? We need privacy” I gave him a deadly glare, but he just got inside not bothered by my words. “What do you need? don’t tell me you changed your mind and decided to kill me after all. You can be sure I won’t rat you out. I value my life, but most importantly I value Sammy’s life and not to mention I was so excited to go back to my life, my job and frie...” “and Sammy’s dad” I was cut by him and I just looked at him sternly. “Yes” I lied, there is no need to tell him the truth. “Why are you lying? And why did you kiss me?” I didn’t know what to say for a moment or two maybe “What do you mean? I would never lie, especially to you when I know you can kill me in a heartbeat and about the kiss it was an innocent goodbye kiss nothing more” I scoffed and he smiled, but It faded fast “I know you and her father are not together, what happened to him? No one knows who her fath...” I held my hand up to stop him “First, it is none of your business who her father is. Second, I don’t have to give details of my life to strangers and since when do you care about strangers? You know nothing about me, so why bother?” “Don’t be like that, I just want to help you as a thanks for saving my life” I snickered at his words, what is f*****g wrong with him? Thank me for saving his life? Isn’t he the one who orders to kill all doctors who had helped them in the past? What is different with me? I am a doctor just like the ones he killed. No, he is planning something and sure as hell I won’t be here to find out what it is. “I don’t want nor need your help sir. I never ask to come here in the first place. So no, I don’t f*****g need anything from you, got it?” “You are just amazing, no wonder my brother is so smitten” my mouth dropped to the floor, is he trying to tell me he is doing it for his brother? Does he want me to be with his brother? I sighed because all I want to do is run away from him at the moment “I was honest with him from the beginning, I don’t do love, I am not interested. My daughter is all I need to be happy” I told him honestly and his eyes widened in shock “You are insane woman” I scoffed “says the man who hates women’s guts and doesn’t allow any to live here condemning the rest of the guys to live a lonely life just because he was heartbroken once. Newsflash, grow up man, if you are not happy at least be happy for the rest of them” “Now, get out, I need to get ready to go home” “Fine, go but next time bring something more appropriate to wear, I don’t want my guys looking at what will be mine” he winked at me and left me there looking all dazed. Did he just say I will be his?
