Let's Plan My Murder! (Romance) [✔]

Chapter 1 - THE OFFICER!

"Ava, God Dammit!!.....somebody help me....Ava... somebody help me, please."

I can hear a voice shouting and begging for help. I am numb, like I have nothing left in me to feel. I think it is some kind of defence mechanism in my body. My vision is blurred. I don't understand what is happening around me. I can see faces. Noah's face is the clearest one, but I can hear other voices, too.

"Ava, stay with me please," Aiden cries.

I am in his arms. I think he is carrying me to the ambulance and then everything just goes blank.

------------------------------

I open my eyes to the harsh light flashing on my face.

"Thank god, you are awake,"

A nurse says while changing my IV. She is young and short and looks paler for her age.

I am in a hospital. A pungent smell of hospital disinfecting invades my nostrils. I am plucked to what I can say by a million machines. The white walls and dim lighting make it a little difficult to see things clearly. My vision is a little blurry and I feel extremely exhausted. I close my eyes and a series of events runs like a marathon in my head. Aiden's party, the kiss, Noah in Aiden's study, the fight and then.... I remember... a stranger stabbed me in an alley. The unpleasant memory fills my thoughts and fear takes over my mind. I shut my eyes to forget the life-threatening incident I just went through, but I can't. It has registered itself as a permanent resident of my mind. Tears moist my eyes and my nostrils flare in pain and disgust. Someone tried to kill me. The reality is like a thorn that's pricking every inch of my body. I quickly check my back maybe just to confirm if all that was a bad dream, but as my hand comes in contact with the bandages, my most horrifying dream proves to be a reality.

"You are going to be okay." she gives me an encouraging smile

"What day is it?"

"It's been three days since they brought you here,"

"Three days," I almost choke.

Three days, I was unconscious for three days. This is bad. Noah, Aiden... what happened to them. Are they okay? I just don't understand and wait a second, why am I alone. I mean, a girl gets stabbed and literally no one gives a fuck? Well, there is one person who must have definitely made every doctor here regret taking me in... my mother!!

"Is no one with me?" I ask embarrassed.

This is not fair!!! Where are the two people who claimed to love me on a single night?

"They are all outside but the police have strictly instructed that no one is allowed to meet you until you give a statement."

The police?? Damn!!... Shit... I should have never woken up... what am I going to say to them. Oh, wait!! The evidence... Aiden!!!

"I should better inform them you are awake," she barges outside like a hurricane.

Are nurses trained to be speedy or is it like a nurse trait thing

Well, I am pretty sure that I am going to have a lot of time to think about Nurse behaviour patterns in jail. Is planning your own murder an offence? But the point is...who the fuck tried to kill me?

A black man in a perfectly ironed suit and a smug look on his face soon interrupts my thoughts. He walks directly to me without taking his dark brown eyes off me, even for a second. His face is shining with the aftershave he must have used today.

"Good evening, Ms White... I am glad you are finally awake," He says in a stiff and dominant tone. His voice is deep and can give anyone goosebumps.
