941 Words
The man lowered the newspaper, and when Ophelia saw his face, her jaw dropped in shock. He was gorgeous his chiseled jaw was accentuated by a day's worth of stubble, and his eyes were a deep, soulful brown,pierced eyes, and a body that looked like it was sculpted by the gods themselves.His hair was dark and wavy, and he was impeccably dressed in a suit that looked like it had been tailored just for him. He was the kind of man that would turn heads in any room, and here he was, right in front of her.
“Am I dreaming ,am I in the afterworld already ?
She said herself not realizing he heard
Suddenly, he broke into a wide grin, his perfect white teeth glinting in the light. "You're not dead, and you're not dreaming," he said, his voice deep and smooth. "I'm real, and you're very much alive."
As he spoke, Ophelia couldn't help but notice how calm and confident he sounded. There was something reassuring about his voice, and it made her feel a little less on edge. But still, she was wary. Who was this man ?
Ophelia immediately gulped, realizing she had been heard. She looked down in shame. The doctor entered the room, a scared look on his face. He quickly walked up to Ophelia, ignoring the piercing look from the strange man with her.
"How are you doing?" the doctor asked with an assuring smile. "You were unconscious when you came in, but the injury was minor and you did not sustain any serious injuries."
"I'm fine," Ophelia said as she touched the bandage on her head.
"Collect your medication from the nurse in the reception,you are free to go” the doctor said as he and the nurses left the room.
Alone in the room, Ophelia glanced around and saw the strange man was still staring at her.
"Thank you," she said, but the man didn't respond. Instead, he turned and walked out the door.
Left with nowhere to go, Ophelia hurried after him.
"Sir! Sir!" she called, but he was moving
The man moved through the corridor, not bothering to look back at Ophelia. In a panic, she chased after him, almost tripping over her own feet. "Please wait!" she begged.
Finally, the man stopped and turned around, staring at Ophelia with an unreadable expression on his face. "What do you want?" he asked, his voice cold and distant.
"I need help," Ophelia whispered, her head bowed in shame. The man stared at her, his expression blank and unreadable.
"Do you know who I am?" he said in an annoyed tone.
"I don't know," Ophelia replied, still avoiding his gaze. "I'm a stranger here, I was trying to escape from my father. I've been robbed and I have nowhere to go." Her words came out in a rush, her voice quivering with fear.
He stared at her without saying anything, and then, almost immediately, groups of men rushed to him.
"Master!" they all cried in unison.
He continued to stare at her for a while, saying nothing. Then, he started walking away. Ophelia tried to rush after him, but a nurse quickly stopped her.
"Ma'am," the nurse said, "you haven't paid your bill."
"What?!" Ophelia was shocked.
She turned to the strange man who was surrounded by the burly men
"Hey!!!" she shouted, as she walked toward him. He stopped at the sound of her voice, but his expression remained cold and unreadable.
Ophelia stormed up to him, standing close behind him, despite the fact that he was surrounded by burly men.
"You need to take responsibility for your actions," she said, her voice loud and clear, drawing the attention of the patients, nurses, and people who were walking by.
She noticed the people looked at her murmuring and quickly rushing away but she paid less attention to it
She already stranded with no money and now he wants to live without paying the hospital bill for the accident he caused ,she couldn’t take it and didn’t want to ,one thing she learn from her father is to be brave and stand strong on her words no matter where she was,
He turned and his guard made an entrance and he walked close to her
“Pay?”
“Yes,you ran over me the best thing to do is to pay for the damage you cause ,you can’t just walk away ,who do u think you are ?” She shouted angrily they were visible marks on her face she was using all power

“Are you suddenly dumb that you can’t speak”
“You are quite brave for a young girl”he smirked,moving more closer to her

“I’d love to see more of this your action,but I already spent a lot of time for an ungrateful lady” he said leaving her confused,he turned to his guard
