Accepting Love

Chapter 4

{{ERICA'S POV}}

I stilled in shock

"Step daughter!"

I glanced at the girl, her eyes were distant and void of

emotion. Tugging at my heart strings, she hated this man.

"Get out of here" I said unaffected by the glare he gave me as his smirk fell.

"Don't let me repeat myself" I thundered

" You have no right to stop me from seeing my step daughter! "He stood up in rage taking slow deliberate steps towards me.

I frowned,he was right. I had nothing against him but I still won't let him have her.she deserves to be happy.

"This is my hospital! Come back after she's done recuperating. "I said while gritting my teeth

He flashed me a disgusting grin " Better, when?"

"3 months time." Now it was my time to grin

"What's so serious that she needs to stay here for 3 whole month? "He fisted his hands as he said so.

"Don't argue with doctors. Now get out!" I said pointing at the door. She needs rest" I whispered the next part softly.

He slowly made his way out then paused and turned back in a quick move pinned me on the wall digging his knee into my upper abdomen.

'How did his freaking leg reach here! ' I clenched my teeth my legs shaking from the pain. "You got guts"I spat at him my eyes getting foggy as he retracted his knee then brought it back with great force.

"Stop it" the girl voiced out with tears spilling out of her eyes. She was so cute at the moment.

"If you come with me I'll let her go" I shaked my head as she looked at me not minding the fact I was sweating bullets now.

"No?" He chuckled coldly his hand raking my body. I gasped as his hand met my stitches, what was he up to?

"Last chance baby girl" He said but his gaze remained on me. I sent her a small smile so she won't back down.

"I'm not going with you" she said softly her hands tightly clenching the sheets

"Hahaha!" I laughed ignoring the pain sipping through my body "Now get the hell out of here"

He gritted his teeth landing blows right where my stitches were until it bled once more.

"I'll get back at you for this, and once I get my hands on her..." His eyes averted mine to smile wickedly at the girl. " She'll hate you to death" He said and left.

'Damn! I should have fought back! Are you this weak Erica! Damnit!' My hands unconsciously made its way back to my wound pressing down on it to slow down my blood loss.

"Nicole hmm, can you press down on that button" I pointed to a button near the bed with my eyes shut.

"O.. okay"

......

"If this stitches should come undone again, I'll kill you" she threatened which made me laugh.

"Whatever, the CCTV camera in room 29 I need it sent to me via mail."

"Okay"

I walked carefully, my hands around my stomach. I pushed open her room door to see...

"Meka?" I rolled my eyes taking a seat next to Nicole.

"Erica, karma's a b***h isn't it" she smirked. Her hands crossed and eyes on me

I ignored her my attention on Nicole. "Is he really your father?" Wishing this was all just a dream but it wasn't.

"Step father" she whispered her head bent downwards.

"What type of witchery is this" Meka gasped in fake shock " How come you can talk to this asshole but not me? " She pouted glaring at me as if I did anything wrong.

"Just face it. I'm more approachable than you" I smirked and rolled my eyes then sat down. The room became tense and cold.

"Explain" I said in a straight voice. The tension in the room was undeniable.
