Her Fatal Patrimony

Chapter 7

KEVIN'S POV

With every second that passes and this mystery girl still lays in my bed with hardly any sign of life, I grow even more anxious. She's been unconscious for the past two days and frankly I'm getting worried. I thought she'd be awake by now . The doctor did assure me that she's out of danger and that it's only a matter of time until she gains consciousness. He said that she hit her head real hard hence she lost consciousness but I shouldn't worry much as yet. I however am starting to think that maybe I should've taken her to the hospital instead. It does sound like the sensible thing to do than to bring a total stranger to my home but I couldn't. I saw the fear in her eyes right before she passed out. She looked as though she was running away from something or someone and I felt the need to protect her. I couldn't leave her in a hospital and just forget about her. What if the people who were after her find her ? I couldn't live with myself if something bad happened to her. The could feel that she was in danger and I had to save her.

Watching her lay in my bed I can't help but admire her beauty. I don't think I've ever seen anyone with a face this perfect. Her dark eyebrows stand out from her perfect milky skin with hardly a spot in sight.A strand of her hair lose from the bandage wrapped around her head overlaps perfectly on her face but which stand out are her lips. They are tiny and pink, fitting perfectly on her round face even with a little cut on her lower lip, they look beautiful. I can't help but wonder how they taste. I'm diverted from my inappropriate thought when her lips turn into a frown. Her face seems troubled all of a sudden and a tear makes it's way down her cheek. I rush to her and hold her hand as some sort of comfort gesture. I caress it and whisper," It's okay. You're safe now." Her face softens and she gets back to her still indifferent facial. My curiosity on this girl is ignited even more. She seems to be troubled and may have been through a lot I feel the urge to know more.

I am happy to know that my mystery girl is awake. I got a call saying she lost it when she woke up. She was totally outraged and wanted to leave as soon as possible. With that reason they had to sedate her for I had ordered that they never let her out of their sight. I wish I was there when she woke up but I had business to take of out of town .I rushed as soon as I heard she was awake.

My phone rings and I'm tempted to not answer incase it's work . I don't wanna have to go back there right now. I'm already on my way back to my house. I'm weirdly anxious about finally meeting the girl in her conscious state. What if I scare her off?

I decide to answer the phone seeing that it was my dad.
"Hello dad!"
" Son you need to get here as soon as possible."He answers straight to the point. That's always been the case with him. He's so used to rulling that he rules over his family too. We never get to have a say . He forgets we're not one of his servants. Yes my dad is a Chief.
"Why ? Is something wrong?" I asked slightly concerned.
"There's an urgent matter that's surfaced and we need to discuss it."
" Does it have to do with me?"
"Just do as I say Kevin! We'll be expecting you soon." And with that he hung up.
I don't understand why my dad always feels the need to dictate my life. I'm a grown man now, he can't keep treating me like a little boy.

I'm definitely not changing my plans to go see mystery girl. My dad would have to understand that my life plans can't go on a standstill just because he said so.

"She's on sedatives sir but she should be awake soon." The hired nurse says as soon as I reach the house. I just nod and head to my room.

She looks so calm and fast asleep. She still has bandages covering her leg and her head. I'm suddenly very nervous. She could wake soon and I don't know what to say to her. I don't want to scare her off to the wolves. She has to know she's safe here. A thought surfaces in my head suddenly. Wat if she was sent by one of my dad's enemies? I witness some movement on the bed and move closer to check. Bright blue eyes meet my gaze . She's awake!
