Scarlet's POV Slowly opening my eyes I came face to face with Xavier. What's he doing here?? Where am I anyway? Seeing the confusion on my face Xavier answered it for me. "Your in the hospital. Um... Do.. Do you remember what happened?" Why was he so nervous? Wait. Did he say hospital?! My hands went straight to my stomach and I could still feel the small baby bump that's hidden because of my lose office shirt. My baby's safe. "No sir. But what are you doing here sir and why do you have blood on your shirt? Are you ok sir? Did we have an accident?" I was getting worried. "I.... I umm...... We had a miss understanding and I started yelling at you but the next thing I know your bent over with blood running down your legs. So I carried you out the office and took you to the hospital, hence the blood on my shirt and why I'm here. I'm sorry Scarlet." He explained with an apologetic look, but something tells me he has something to ask and I'll bet $10 I know what it is. "I'm sorry sir. I... I tripped last night and um... broke my wooden chair at home and it cut my inner thigh, maybe all the walking back and forth opened the wound causing it to bleed down my leg. I'm really sorry sir" I lied. I had to he can not find out this way. I have to see if he can be a good father before I tell him. "When can I go home sir?" I asked. I really want to go home. "The doctor said that you had to stay overnight because they wanted to monitor you or something." He replied looking confuse why they had to monitor me but I knew why and I was grateful the doctor didn't tell him that I was pregnant. To his reply I just gave a nod and layed back down eventually falling asleep. --------------------------------------------------------- Xavier's POV Scarlet explained that the blood, now stained on my shirt, was from a wound on her inner thigh. Why the hell did she come to work then? I thought to my self I stared at Scarlet lying on a hospital bed hugging herself, after about 5 minutes I decided to take a shower to wash off the blood stained on my arm and shirt. I asked my maid to get me some clothes and drop them off at the hospital not long after Scarlet fell asleep. 10 minutes later I feel refreshed and as soon as I opened the door I was met with Scarlets crystal blue eyes. Her eyes were mesmerizing, it was like they were drawing me in. "Sir?" She broke my trance and I walked to her side with a towel still on my head. "Sir please go home, you don't need to watch over me. I'm fine on my own sir thank you for taking me to the hospital, I'm really greatful." I wasn't really listening to her but when she mentioned she was fine on her own that's when I tuned in. There was no way I was leaving her here on her own. She slowly started to lay back down and closed her eyes, I presume she's going back to sleep. Ha to think a big a*s playboy billionaire staying on a hospital chair and taking care of his PA, if you told that to someone they'd piss their pants laughing. I used to think all girls are the same, easy lay and no strings attached. But there's something different about Scarlet, I want to take care of her not giving a dame about what others say. I know she's not an Elite and father would never approve of her but I'm slowly falling for this girl sleeping on a hospital bed not having a care in the world. Wait?! Falling? Oh s**t! I'm inlove with Scarlet Jonson! 'Bzzzzzz' 'Bzzzzzz' I pulled my phone out my pocket to see who texted me, it was my father saying he wanted to talk to me. What now?! I walked out Scarlet's room making sure I didn't wake her up and said to the nurse to keep an eye on her. I got in the car and drove to my parents house which was a good 30 minute drive. Parking the car, I made my way to the front door and was welcomed with mother's hug. "Come Jace your father wants to discuss something with you." So we walked to the living room to find my father sitting on the sofa with a cup of tea in his hand. "Father what did you want to discuss?" I don't have time to play around I have to get back to Scarlet. "Sit Xavier I wanted to discuss business with you." Oh great this ought to be good. "About what father?" "You know Dylan Grey owner of Grey Group's of Company's don't you? Well I want you to marry his daughter." Father said firmly. What?!! Is he mad? Dylan's daughter has been missing for the last 2 years, no one knows where she is or who the b****y hell she is and he just goes all out and tell me to marry her? Hell I will. I love and will only love Scarlet. "What?! Father are you insane? No one seen her. Hell no one's even heard of her only the fact that she's the heir to GGC. She's been missing for 2 years!! 2 f*****g years!!. I'm not going into a loveless marriage with a girl I don't know! I'm 27 years old father I can decide for my own! And I already have a girlfriend!" My anger has hit the roof. He might be my father but no way in hell is he marrying me off to some girl who I know nothing about. "You will marry her and that's final!! I will not accept that gold digger girlfriend of yours. You must marry Dylan's daughter when we find her. She is the heir to GGC. She is the famous Faceless Princess of the Top 1 Elite. She is smarter then two of your brain combined that's why its taking this long to find her. When she was little she was named a child prodigy, she knew how to run an empire at the young age of 9. Our company will benefit from her wealth and her knowledge. We need her. I have my best investigators and lawyers finding her, you will use your connection in finding her. Her name is Adrianna Grey." Father explained. Great now he wants me to find her. She's practically a ghost if even my father's best men's can't find her, how the hell will I. Adrianna Grey. No wonder father wants me to marry her because she's a prodigy. She's wealthy but the only problem is she's b****y missing. I have to find her and tell her to deny the wedding arrangement, I want to marry Scarlet and not this Adriana girl. After about an hour argument with my father I left their house and made my way back to the hospital. Walking into the room I see that its empty. "NURSE!!" I shout. Where the hell was she? The nurse came running in holding a chart board on her left and a pen in the other hand. "Where is the patient that was in here?!" "Sir she discharged herself not long after you left, she said she was fine and paid the bill and just left. We tried to stop her sir but it's against our hospital policy to keep a patient here against their will unless their with the cops." She was explaining but my mind was boiling in anger. "Where's her medical record?" I asked. "I'm sorry sir that's classified" She looked like she was going to piss herself. "I DON'T b****y CARE ABOUT CLASSIFICATION GIVE ME THE DAME RECORDS!!!" she was really pushing my buttons. "I'm sorry sir I can't do that" she had tears in her eyes as she said that. I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself knowing that I couldn't get the records even if I wanted them. Not wanting to cause a bigger scene I left the hospital and made my way home. I was going to see Scarlet tomorrow, knowing that she wouldn't miss work. --------------------------------------------------------- Scarlet's POV I had to leave the hospital. I already caused enough trouble for Xavier and I was afraid that if I stayed their longer he might find out about our baby. I couldn't let that happen just yet. I took a cab and made my way home, I was still abit sore but it was bearable. I know Xavier's probably mad right now but I had to leave, I'll just talk to him tomorrow. I just hope he's not too pissed off with me. --------------------------------------------------------- *Xavier's middle name is Jace if y'all wondering why his mum called him that.*
