A Trillionaire’s Revenge

CHAPTER 11

Beep Beep Beep, I hear as I struggle to open my heavy eyes. The light was too bright, so I use my hands to cover my eyes.

"Where am I?" I ask immediately my eyes land on Luke.

"You're in the hospital, Natalie" he says and in a split second, memories start flooding my head. I touch my lips alarmed. I wasn't gagged anymore. I sit up and look at my legs. They were bandaged.

"I was kidnapped" I say, my hand on my mouth. I look at Luke, "I was kidnapped, it wasn't a dream.”

"I know. Do you remember exactly what happened? Where were you last night?" He asks and I freeze. Thankfully, Laurel enters at that exact moment and the attention is directed at her- something she must've been ecstatic about.

I use the back of my left hand to wipe the nonexistent sweat on my face. What would Luke do if he found out I tried to escape again? Bloody hell, I wasn't interested in finding out.

"Emmanuele sent this food for the both of you.” She gets closer to my bed, "Luke hasn't showered nor eaten properly for the past seventy six hours you've been here. Don't you think he should get some rest?"

I was shocked and a bit moved too. He stayed to look after me for over three days without showering? I was touched. "Thank you," I say looking at him, but for some unknown reasons I'm unable to look him in the eyes so I look away as fast as I can.

I clear my throat, "I was out for three days?" I ask. With folded arms, Luke sits on the couch. "Yes, you were. You lost blood and in addition to that, you haven't been eating and the doctors said you were stressed out"

"Doctors?" I ask.

He looks at me then picks a magazine to read. "I'm Lucas Carrington. I always get the best"

I roll my eyes at his statement. "I can only wonder why I would be stressed out" I say as I lay down, facing the other side of the room.

I was discharged from the hospital the next day even though I didn't want to leave. I felt more at peace here than in that cage I'd been forced to live in.
