Escaping The Mafia King

The next day rolled around and Hope found herself bedridden, unable to move with a harsh cough gripping her chest and nasty fever burning her whole body. There was obviously no option of going to the college since she had caught the flu for walking too long under the sun and because of the fatigue it had caused.

She remembered that at night her phone had kept ringing with calls and messages but without looking at the screen she had turned off the phone and avoided everything that bounded her to the outer world. Her mood was ruined so badly and she did not think she could talk to anybody without snapping in anger.

She had had dinner with her parents and then after coming back to the room, she had fallen asleep like the dead. Her feet had burn marks and cuts from the sandals that she had successfully hidden from her parents by wearing long trousers.

But as the morning sunshine hit the window she realized that she was sick to death. Bile kept rising her throat, making her run to the bathroom every ten minutes.

When she did not go down to have breakfast, her mom came up to check on her and immediately got worried after seeing her red face, runny nose and baggy eyes. She immediately rushed down to get medicine and some soup for Hope while Hope went back to the bed to hide under her duvet and avoid the sunlight.

As her mom came back, she made Hope take the medicine with water and some soup. In the middle of it suddenly the doorbell rang.

Hope's gaze immediately shot to the wall watch seeing the time. Nine am. She knew who was at the door this early.

As her mom stood up to go down, Hope grabbed her arm and said,

"Mom?"

Her mom immediately turned to her, "Yeah, honey?"
