Salina opened her eyes feeling her whole body was being pulled down. Her head buzzing, with lot of difficulty she moved her hand forcefully. When she did not feel anything beside her. She tried to sit up.

"Aa..iden" Her voice come out as a broken whisper. Her vision blurred, as she blacked out again.

The next time she woke up it was already mid day. She sit up her whole body feels heavy. Her inside turned upside down. She feel sick as she rush towards the bathroom vomiting liquid, leaving a bitter aftertaste. She washed her face. She sit there having a sighed. Her head still buzzing. She looked at her bed with her heart beat thumping and everything crashed on her. Her hoarse dry throat feel even more bitter as she realize something.

"What did he do?" She asked feeling pain in her throat as she rubbed her face with her trembling hand. She struggled before standing straight only to fall down hurting herself.

She breath harder, forcing herself up.

'No.. No..No' She screamed at herself. Where is Aaiden? After struggling, she went back to sleep, cold sweat forming on her forehead.

The next time she woke up it was already evening. It took a while for Salina to understand what was going on as she jumped her, her eyes looked around frantically. Her body feel a bit heavy.

She walked out of her room. She can't remember anything at all. Why?

'Aaiden where is he? He won't go anywhere right?' The words she could not even believe herself. It's a lie, everything she knew. Even if she knew she rushed out. Searching through out the house like a mad woman. She stopped her thought she could not afford it. No, please don't take him away.

"Aaiden will be here. He won't go anywhere" She mumbled repeating it again and again. A tear trickled down her cheek.

"No" She yelled at herself. She won't believe, never.

"Where is he?" She asked staring at the ground. The butler and maid looked away ignoring her. They don't want to get in trouble.

Aaron walked in from the front door. Salina looked up, her yes went to him.

"Aaron" She slowly walked up to him touching his shirt, holding onto him. He stare at her, his hand went around her steadying her.

"Aaron.. I I don't remember anything. What happened? I don't even remember how I was on the bed.Where is Aaiden? Aaron" She asked choking, shaking him. He let her go, raising his eyebrow, a soft smile curved up on his lip.She stare at him, her eyes widening. Something is awfully wrong but what? And she get her answer when he said those words. His finger softly brush her cheeks.

"Did not I tried to give you a choice?" She gulped down a lump her eyes widening. Her heart shuddered. She blinked her eyes, feeling a pressure at the back of her throat.

"You..?" Her throat dried off. She choked words seems to evade her. He let her go and stopped touching.

"You? How could you? When? I was.. you never?" She look down her lips trembling, she rubbed her face.

"If you have taken the glass from my hand then I would not have touched you. You did feel pain did not you?" He said frowning. He did not like explaining himself. She bit her lips feeling an overwhelming about of bitterness. Filling a metallic taste.

"Easy their Mrs.Valentine" His voice mocking her, she feel a slight pain as he pulled her closer.

"I waited you know, if you have taken the glass from my hand. I would have let you go. I even told you that I might give you another day with him. But you did not listen" He shrugged his shoulder casually. This was the worst. She blinked her eyes feeling a lump suffocating her. It's not her fault. She stare at him blinking her eyes. She would not cry, she would not give him the satisfaction. How could she did not know that she was being drugged?
