The Tormented Soul

Chapter 18: leave me alone

Aleera's POV

I opened my eyes slowly and my head felt so heavy because every move I did felt like I was going to pass out again. I moved my head to the left slowly and found Darius sleeping in one of my armchairs. Has he been here all night? He must have because he has the same clothing on as he did yesterday. As I tried to sit up I felt a sharp pain in the area when I punched in the glass piece yesterday.

I took off my duvet to do some inspections on my wound when I found a bloody bandage on. I sighed and pulled the duvet back on because I got cold when I took it off. I looked at Darius again and called out to him.

"Darius, wake up,"

Darius woke up after I called for him once. He got up from the armchair and came over to me in a flash.

"Alea, how do you feel? Are you in any pain?" He asked. I could hear the worry for me in his voice too.

"Yes, I am fine. I just feel some pain here.” I pointed to my stomach. “By the way, why were you sleeping in here and not in your own bedroom?" I asked him.

Darius reached out his hand and took mine as he looked straight into my eyes.
