Chapter 18 BEATEN
ARYA POV
“Everyone down!” we all lay down on the floor, how can people steal in such a place, where are the securities, I looked around and noticed Lucas was still seating down on the chair like he didn’t care about what was going on, I moved my finger telling him lay down but he refused, instead he crossed his leg and huffed, that was when one of the guys noticed him, I said lay on the floor man he pointed the gun at Lucas, who still refused, “it dirty” Lucas replied the thief, and so fucking what, who do you think you are to talk to me like that, Lucas yelled at him, drawing more attention toward us.
The rest of the thieves came closer, I laid down not even thinking to get involved how stupid can he be. Next thing I heard was someone hitting Lucas. I looked up and they were hitting his handsome face, I smirked a little, loving the fact they were hitting him. An arrogant prick I whispered to myself, who sees a thief with a gun and still has so much pride in them.
They left after taking all our stuffs, thank goodness I had nothing on me, I looked at Lucas, he was brutally beaten, someone called the police and then the ambulance arrived just in time, they strapped him in after refusing to go with them, kept yelling he was fine but believe me he wasn’t. They had to subdue him and took him immediately to the hospital. I followed, since he also refused to go without me.
I knew you were bad news the first day I saw you, that was the first thing his mother said to me when she got here, why would she blame me, am I at fault, if only he had just did what they asked him to do, nothing of such would have happened to him but he never listens, he think he is always right, arrogant prick, he should listen to me for once, I know better than to argue with someone with a gun.
“Darling, it is not her fault” her husband came to him, holding her, which made me grateful he was here unless I will not hear the last of it. The doctor came out, “can we see him now, is he okay?” his mother bombarded the doctor with questions. Yes, he’ll be fine. “Can I see him, am his mother” sorry ma’am, he didn’t ask for his mother, he wanted to see Arya, who is Arya? Everyone turned and stared at me, making me nervous, since Lucas’ mother was glaring at me with disgust in her eyes.
“My son would never look for her when I am here,” let me see him now! She demanded as if she was the owner of the hospital. Oh, well, they did own this hospital. Am sorry ma’am but the patient demanded to see Arya, just go in before she does something to you Lucas father whispered to me while trying to talk his wife down on whatever she was planning to do.
Jeez, you look okay, I went in and saw Lucas wearing his clothes, why did you ask for me? I wanted you to tie the rope of my shoes, I can’t bend since I was beating because of you. did he seriously just blame me, it is not like I suggested the restaurant or argued with the thieves when they asked to lay down. “You can’t ask the nurse or doctor to do that for you, am I your servant? And why are you blaming me, you should have done what was asked of you”
“Why would I lay on that contaminated floor? ” Well you still did, since you got beaten on that same floor you refused to lay on, I mumbled to myself. “What did you say? I can’t hear you. oh, nothing, I just say you’re so stubborn. I calmed down and tied the rope of his shoes. I didn’t want to argue with him right now. Your mother is here “”I know, but I don’t want to see her.” “You have to” I don’t want her glaring at me saying I am taking her son’s attention away from her. He scoffed “my mother isn’t a jealous type if that’s what you’re trying to say,” how ignorant can you be, just let her come inside and Tobias will be here with Isa. She is supposed to be sleeping, what will she be doing awake by this time? The thieves must have hit him pretty badly. “It’s morning Lucas,” ‘it is?’
They got you pretty bad, we heard Tobias say from the door, I chuckled, and wondered how he got in, I used this little angel and they allowed us in he answered when I kept looking at him. Funny right, she demanded that she want to see her father and the doctor got scared when she glared at him, this little demon had her father’s frightening gaze, but at least it got us in, and your parents came in as well, I looked up, since I was kissing Isa cheeks, finally noticing we had an audience, she pushed me away since I was closer to Lucas, “baby, are you alright, are you in pain” she asked getting worried when Lucas groaned, I and Tobias held in our laugh murmuring “baby” at each other, it cracks me every time I hear a mother calling her grown up child “baby,” Fernando’s mother says it all the time to annoy especially when he tries to flirt with a girl and his mother is there, she always embarrass him calling “baby boy” people thought she was his sugar mummy or something but only people with eyes will notice the resemblance between, Fernando looks a lot like his mother.
Anytime someone says that she’s his sugar mummy in my presence I get offended, like are you blind or something, the eyes, the hair, the lips, Fernando has a softer skin, his mother once told me she thought he would be a girl, she bought only female clothes and when he came out as a boy. She refused to wear him boys clothing until he was four, people thought he was a girl though because he was beautiful. She didn’t even want him dating anyone, she didn’t want anyone stealing her son away from her, but she wanted him to have a girlfriend saying he has been single for so long but she won’t let him have one when he tries to get a girlfriend.
Fernando had a feminine structure, I thought he was gay when I met him high-school before I later knew we were related, he was always bullied and I made sure to protect him from his bullies even though it means getting beaten by them I did not care, I promised his parents I would always protect him which I did, I wasn’t really close to his sister, she always had been an annoying spoilt brat who got everything she wanted. Just like the love his mother had for him was also the same love he had for her, she was happy she had a girl and spoil her rotten, last I heard she was in a psychiatric hospital or something, I don’t usually pay attention to the family since I had my brother to be worried about, that was until Fernando brought the idea of me dating his boss in exchange for money, at first he did say I should use him and break his heart but I thought he was joking, since he knows have never being in any kind of relationship before and Fernando is too cute to do something evil to anyone, well so I thought.
I shook my head remembering where I was. I know Lucas’s mother is jealous of the closeness between me and her son. Every mother doesn’t want their child to grow up so quickly but they all do grow up eventually. I sat down and just watched them talk, don’t know how long I had been sitting but his parents left and Tobias had to take Isa to get ice-cream before he was discharged. So, you didn’t answer my question, Lucas said to me. Uhm, what question is that? He brought out the paper, will you be Isa’s mother? Officially? He nods, I collected the paper and pen from him, he always comes prepared even though his on the hospital bed, I signed it already excited, he took it from me, so it official then, yes, he nods, just leave the rest to me he stood up to wear the cloth his guard brought for him, whoa where the hell are you going? Work! He answered. The doctor said you need to rest, fuck the doctor, my body doesn’t need any rest, I need to go out there and make money, have lost twenty million just laying here he grumbled displeased that I try stopping him from working, I let him do what he wants, am not meant to question whatever he does anyway.
Oh, he took his keys, “the next paper I bring would be our marriage papers.” What!
