His Vicious Revenge

chapter 7

Without waking her up he went to his office. He thought that he shouldn't disturb her and let her sleep.

In afternoon when he reached home, he nowhere saw Alaya. He asked the maid that if she had her breakfast. But when maid replied that she hasn't even got out of her room since morning he got worried. He ran up the stairs and opened the door in rush. She was still on bed with eyes closed. He tried to wake her up.

"Alaya! Get up!" He shouted.

But she didn't respond. He checked her forehead, it was burning. Suddenly he was filled with fear. Something came to his mind, an old memory, something frightened him. Without wasting a minute he called his assistant and asked him to send a female doctor at once. While he tried to wake her up but she was not responding. There was no movement. He was turning white fear.

After 20 minutes doctor arrived. She was a middle aged woman, in her late thirties. She checked her nerves and told Gerard to immediately shift her to hospital. Then she realized some bruises on her face. She looked at Gerard, but he was expressionless, she got to knew that everything is under his control, no one can lift a finger on him.

Soon Alaya was shifted to a private hospital and was given private treatment. The doctor told Gerard that she lost her unconscious for a long time due to nervous breakdown. And her fever is really high due to huge bruises on her body. He told him that they are trying to control her fever and had given her painkillers but if they failed to wake her up then she will go into coma.

It panicked Gerard at once and old memories started to haunt him. Before abusing Alaya he never thought of such consequences. He took her normal as he used to treat other females around him. He knew that if something happened to her no one will have the guts to blame him but still he was worried. Maybe deep inside he wanted her. But now he was getting despondent with every passing hour.

Finally after 3 hours doctor told him that now she's fine as she regained her consciousness and her temperature is also reduced but she still needs some professional care so they will admit her for few days. Finally he sighed, and felt relieved inside. But he was good at hiding expressions. So he maintained his serious and stern face. Then he went inside to see her. She was looking at the open window. Despite noticing his presence, she didn't turn her face. He realized that she don't want to see him so he sat beside her silently.

"Are you okay now?" He asked her concerning.

"Hmm" she decided not to talk.

After 5 mins of silence, he went out.

She was kept in hospital for 3 days. Everyday after office Gerard stayed in hospital with her. But she didn't spoke a word to him. She silently used to watch at the open window beside her bed. Her face was expressionless so it was hard to tell what she was feeling. Sometimes as she got tired, she used to walk in little park just outside the hospital. But one thing which was extraordinary for Gerard was that she used to pray five times. He was shocked to see her praying. When he realized that she'll not gonna talk to her, he used to sit beside her bed on couch, working on his laptop silently. She didn't even looked at him or give him a glance. He thought maybe she hate him so much. At some point he was right, but she couldn't show it.

She returned home after 3 days. She silently walked to her room and before he could exchange a word with her she closed her eyes and slept. In morning, when he woke up he didn't find her beside him. Curiousty got best of him and he walked out of the room, before he could reach downstairs maid told him between that breakfast is ready, he should come over. He asked her that who made his breakfast. And was surprised to know that Alaya made it. He ran upstairs and changed into his clothes for office, and realized that his clothes were already in the bathroom. After getting ready he went downstairs and saw that she was setting tables with the maid. He took steps towards her to remind her of his presence. But she stayed focused, she didn't even lifted her head to see him. He sat on the chair, and finally said "good morning". 

"Good morning" she replied in light voice without looking at him. He was bit disappointed but he already decided that he will not force her for anything and will let her live as she like. She is staying with him, that's enough for him. Even if she don't talk it's fine for him. Afterall she's already paying her duties. He started his breakfast, she also sat beside him. And they both started to eat. Even during breakfast they remained silent. Nobody talked. Gerard gave her some glances during the breakfast but she did not even dared to notice. He noticed that she cooks well. After he completed his breakfast he took his coat and was about to leave but suddenly stopped. He took out something from his pocket and put it on the table in front of her. She looked at it, it was a debit card. "You can buy anything you want, go with the driver, and if you tried to run you should know the consequences and still you will end up here" after saying he went away. Alaya was not shocked at his words. She knew it that he can expect such things from her. But she also knew that if she tried to run, only her family will bear the consequences. And she cannot take the risk. But she was thankful that he is already giving her space and not abusing her anymore. In noon she went with the driver to buy her art accessories so she spend her days in that home alone.

Alaya noticed that Gerard started to come home late. Before he used to arrive in afternoon but now he started to come late in the evening. Despite, she already prepares his food and wait for him. From that day he did not spoke a word to her either. After eating his dinner he silently go to his bed and sleep.
