The tycoon bride

Chapter three

     The next thing she knew, she was lying in the road and a dark eye stranger was leaning over her while someone in the background was talking wildly in a choked ,shocked, shaking Voice. "she just ran out in front of me ",he was saying over and over again."I didn't stand a chance!. She just ran out in front of me —she just ran out in front of me......... "

        Was he referring to me? Melony wondered dizzily, and on a frown of confusion attempted to sit up. 

        " Don't move, " a quite voice commanded. Vaguely she registered the hint of a foreign accent, like the deep velvet sound of it and smiled according. 

          "OK, "she complied. Crazily, it really did seem that simple. She still felt nothing, and in those first few conscious moment, she remember nothing, which didn't seem to matter either. A strange state of mind —all fluffy and floaty. 

          "Am I dying or something? "she wondered curiosly.

           "Not while I am here to stop you, "replied the stranger. 

           She began to shiver suddenly —though she wasn't sure why unless the cold was beginning to get to her—yet she didn't feel cold —not at all, actually —which was strange in itself considering the icy weather. 

           Something warm and silky landed on top of her, and she realised that he has taken off his jacket and covered her with it. 

            It was only then she remembers that she is not supposed to be lying there, that she had been in a hurry to get somewhere —though for the lid of her she couldn't remember where she was supposed to be going. 

            "I said don't move!"the deep voice insisted 

            "did I? "she asked, frowning confusedly because she certainly wasn't aware of moving. 

              In fact she didn't feel able to do anything very much —even breathing in air was strangely difficult. Her chest felt tight, her limbs heavy. 

              "My chest hurts "Melony confided. 

               "Have anyone call the emergency service ?"the stranger said

                 " I have seen to it " another voice announced breathlessly. Then,"I can't believe she just ran out in the street like that!" the voice added angrily. 

                Her aunt .Melony winced on a rush of total recall. 

                 "what made you do such a stupid thing? "her aunt demanded furiously. 

                 Lifting up her injured wrist, "I thought you might be needing it, you left it behind "she explained. 

                 Then the stranger spoke,."you know this girl? ,is she the niece you came here to see this morning? "

                  "Yes, "Laura cavell confirmed with enough reluctance to make Melony wince all over again. 

                  How can anyone be so uncomfortable with the fact that they process family. 

                  "Look Mr markopoulou......? Aunt Laura was saying. "if you want to leave this situation to me now, you could still just manage to catch your flight to Madrid. "

                  That was then Melony realise that the stranger was aunt Laura's boss. No wonder she sounds anxious. She then stood up forcefully. 

                 " I thought I told you not to move, " the dark voice said

                  "I am fine now —really ,no one need to miss there flight because of me. In fact I would like to go home now. "

                    " let the emergency service arrive and check you over. "

                      No way, Melony thought. If they took her to hospital then aunt Laura would have her certified as unfit to take care of Melanie before she could even turn around!. 

                      Then "oh no" she gasped, she left the baby on her own in the flat!. 

                       "where do you think you are going ?"the stranger demanded 

                       " I have to go now, "she murmured hazily. "Here...... "she handed the gold card to her aunt. 

            Her aunt took it in grim silence, her mouth tight with angry embarrassment 

            "Oh—I'm so sorry! "she gasped, seeing the jacket he use to cover her on the floor, she bend and picked it up, "I'm so sorry, "she apologised a second time. 

           "well you seem to need it more then I do" he shrugged explaining. "come on, show me where you live and I will see that you get there......... "

           "it really isn't necessary, "she protested. 

             "it is,  I assure you"he insisted rather grimly "for I am not leaving until I am sure you have been checked out professional"

               "it not as if it your car that hit me!" she chocked out in between sob and a protest. 

                "No my van did that, " another male voice intruded. " Are you sure you're all right? "

               "Yes really, A bit winded, but otherwise I'm OK. I'm sorry I was so stupid. "

               "No problem " the van driver said happy that he could get away without any more problem.

               "lead the way, miss cavell, "the stranger commended.
