Savage: Confessions Of a Tainted Lover(Book 2)

Chapter 5 - Now..

"You remember when you were little and you thought that you were top shit so you hoped over the fence of that old's man house, remember that? You just wanted to prove that you were man enough but damn, none of us would of guessed that the old man had a full grown pitbull hanging around in his backyard.."

"Man, I've seen anyone run as fast as you did that day but that dog was faster. You still got that mark on the back of your leg where the little bastard bit you? I'm sure you still do.."

"It hurt like a bitch. I had to get twenty steches because of you, you know that? And remember, I wasn't the one crying.." I say, waiting for Tony to reply back but hearing nothing. I open my eyes to a dark room, the only light coming in from the hallway and a beeping sound that's starting to drive me crazy.

Where the fuck am I?

I look around the room from where I lay, my throat dry and rough as I try to sit up but no luck. "Tony?" I call out, my throat burning from being dry as I try to sit up, grunting in pain. "TONY!?" I call out into the darkness but nothing. I'm finally able to sit up, looking down at the white gown I'm wearing.

And that's when it clicks to me. Lily, Tony, Hawaii, the man in my apartment. Lily! I quickly swing my legs over the bed, standing up and feeling light headed from the rush which causes me to fall down. Hard.

I groan loudly, the pain shooting through my whole body and having the lights turned on doesn't help. The door open and so man people rush in. "Mr. Preze!" A female in a nurses outfit appears, kneeling down next to me to try and help me up.

"Step aside." Another voice comes into play. "Help him back on the bed!" So many voices, it was giving me a headache. I feel them lifting me up and laying me back in bed but I try to fight them off. 

"No, I have to see Lily.." I try to get out, but my dry throat making it hard to get out my words. "We'll get you some water Mr. Preze but we're going to need you to relax please." The nurse says, feeling a needle go into my arm, hopefully it's for the pain.

"I think that's enough. Clear the room." I look up, seeing someone who I thought would be dead by now. "Father.." I let out. My father stepping in the room as if he owns the place. It pisses me off. Another comes in, giving me some water before rushing out. The room clears out quickly, leaving just my father and I. 

"What the hell are you doing here?" I ask, looking at him. It made me sick to my stomach, knowing that I look just like him. Hopefully I don't end up like him..

My father comes over, standing tall next to my bed. "How are you feeling?" He ask.

"What are you doing here?" I ask again through clenched teeth. It's been years since I've last seen him. And it wasn't on good terms either.

He sighs, pulling up a chair and sitting down. "You know, I thought you weren't going to pull through, you've been out for nearly two months. I was worried."

I narrow my eyes at him. "Bullshit. You're here for a reason. It's always a reason with you." I say, which causes him to sigh again. "Where's Lily and Tony?" I ask, slowly feeling the pain ease away from my body.

"Don't worry about them, you need to focus on your health." He says, ignoring my question again.

"Where are they!" I yell, I've had enough of me dancing around my questions. My father gets up, walking over to the window, looking out at the city.

"You know, I worked hard. Every single day. In and out of work, I built half this city with my bare hands and when your told me she was pregnant with a boy..I never felt so happy before in my life. Knowng that there was someone who'll pass down the family name and that one day you'll take over my business." He goes on.

I stare at his back. "What are you getting at?" I ask, looking around my hospital room. "What I mean is, I always knew that you'll be succeful when you got over. That I knew you'll take over my business but the way you did it. Just swopping in without any warning and just taking it from me. It was disrepectful." My father turns and looks at me.

I stare back at him. "Where's Tony and Lily?" I ask in a low tone. My father walks back over to me, looking down at me, no emotion showing on his face.

"They're gone." He says, I look at him in surprised but quickly cover it up. "After I got here, I had Tony sign over his caregiver rights. The next day he packed up his family and left back home. Don't worry, he visits." My father takes another seat as I continue staring at him.

"And Lily..she just vanished. No one knows where she ran off too but I'm sure if you look for her she'll come up." He says, looking back at me.

I clench my fist, wanting to beat the shit out of him. "Now son, don't look at me like that. For I had no part in her leaving. She left on her own." He says. "I'll help you find her if you help me."

I knew it, there's always a reason for him to show his ugly face around me. "And what is that?" I ask through my clenched teeth.

My father reaches into pocket, pulling out a piece of paper and a pen. "Just sign the company back over to me and we'll be squard." He says

"You son of a bitch." I say, wanting to sit up but my tired body going against me. He's playing against me, just like I did to him years ago. Coming to him at his weakest moment and taking away what was his and making it mine.

"Come on son, what's it going to be? The business or the girl?"
