Devoid of Choice

CHAPTER04

The sound of the screeching car made Celyn feel she was almost involved in an accident, so she quickly stepped on the brake.

The rider of the Bentley car didn’t step out to check up on Celyn if she was hurt. Instead the rider gave more firing to the car, diverted, flinged a paper towards Celyn’s car and drove off at a high speed.

Celyn was so scared,she just bent her head on the steering and didn’t step out of the car. It was more like an attack on her.

“Who’s this? And what could the person want from me?” Celyn murmured in fear.

She already observed the car gone out of sight when she stepped down from the car to see what’s the content of the paper. She picked it and stepped back into her car as fast as she could.

“I have got my eyes on you my lil Miss” was the content of the paper . She drove off immediately straight to the hospital being scared of any attack that might happen next.

Deep thoughts ran through her mind as she was racing down to the hospital. Could it be her lover?

He had already left earlier that day and said mean words to her,since then they haven’t spoken to each other.

Immediately she got to the hospital she quickly ran to her mother’s ward. That was her safest space at the moment.

“How’re you doing today mummy?”. Celyn asked her mum with a peck.

“My lil Angel I’m doing just fine. I think I’m fit to go home now ”. Celyn’s mum replied.

“The doctor will say when you will go home mummy. Just relax and receive your medication, I’ll always be there for you anytime.” Celyn said cheerfully.

Few hours later, she left for the doctor’s office.

The doctor told Celyn her mother is still under hospice care and drugs but slowly responding to treatment due to her age. Celyn begged the doctor to do all in his power to make sure her mother was fully recovered.

It was 9pm when Celyn stepped out of the hospital.

At the first pavement of the hospital exit way, she missed her step and twisted her right ankle.

“Ouch! That hurts so much.” Celyn groaned in pain silently.

She slowly sat on the pavement, trying to ease the pain with a soft massage.

“Let me help you my gorgeous lady.” Said a strange voice.

Celyn looked up and she couldn’t believe her eyes.

Lo! and behold it was Mr. Carlo Buenavista and she smiled to herself.

“No, thanks I can walk to my car.” Celyn replied politely.

“I insist my lady,you can’t walk down there like this. Let me help you.” Mr Carlo insisted.

Celyn just nodded in agreement and Mr.Carlo carried her in a bridal way to her car. She could perceive the strong fragrant that emitted from his body.

“You smell so nice.” Celyn complemented shyly.

“Mmmmh, thank you my lady and you look charming even with your twisted ankle.” He chuckled.

It was just like a dream come through to Celyn. She wished she could miss steps everyday and her helper will always be Mr. Carlo. Buenavista.

There was a first aid kit box in Celyn’s car.

She just couldn’t take her eyes off him as he helped her massage and put a bandage on the twisted ankle in her car.

“Hope you feel better now?” Mr Carlo asked.

“Yes I do, thank you so much.” Celyn said smiling.

“ You have such a beautiful smile my lady. Are you a triangle? because you’re such acute one.” Mr Carlo teased.

“I think I have to go now it’s getting late”. Celyn said.

Earlier that day before this time, when Mr. Carlo left the hospital he planned on how to meet with Celyn. He didn’t know what to come up with, so he decided to monitor Celyn.

The doctor has already told him Celyn’s mother was admitted in the hospital so he definitely knew Celyn would come and see her mother.

He was the one who pulled up with the Bentley car in front of Celyn’s car and she never knew he was the one.

Immediately she sped off after the incident, he tracked her down to the hospital and waited hours as well.

It was all a coincidence for Celyn that Mr. Carlo was the only available person at the moment to help her.

She couldn’t help but ask him, “And about you, what brought you to the hospital at this time of the night?” Celyn asked sharply.

“Oh! A kind and loyal nurse found my business wallet in the doctor's office. I came tonight to pick it up.” He lied with an evil smirk on his face

“ That must be really important to you.” Celyn added.

“You? What were you doing at the hospital at that time?” He asked Celyn.

“I was with my mum, she was admitted two days ago.” She mumbled.

“You already know who I am, I’m sure.” He said with a wink.

Celyn smiled uncontrollably meeting her long term business crush coincidentally. Her long stress of getting to find him had been cut short. She admired him so much while he drove the car.

His body scent, his physique and dress sense made Celyn tripped more for him. She couldn’t get eyes off him and almost stole a kiss from him.

Mr Carlo drove Celyn home that night in her car .

He already texted his driver where to meet him after his charade with Celyn.

They got to Celyn’s house that night, he helped her to her living room and her nanny took over. They had a little chat when he asked to take his leave.

He stood up, hugged and kissed Celyn who didn’t want to let go of him. He promised to text her that night when he gets home. They bade each other goodnight wishes.

Immediately Mr. Carlo left Celyn’s house, he texted his driver who was at a nearby street to pull up to the house number he texted him. The driver came not quick long, Mr. Carlo hopped in and laughed out so loud, “It’s about to go down! Such a quick click,onto the next chapter!” He said as they drove off.
