Ruined

Chapter 2 Orange Juice

"Her wounds are almost healed Alexei. I put a special ointment on them, they won't scar, maybe something really faint but nothing ugly."

"You're dismissed."

There was this feeling of peace in me. I never felt this in a long time. The dull ache in my head did not even hinder the feeling. Am I dead now?

Is this how it feels to die? I always wondered how it felt. Asking the dead bodies I examined is always fruitless, they never answered me. If they can however they would probably just point out that I'm crazy for talking to them.

I tried to move but someone grasped my hand sending delicious currents in me. I felt myself shiver from it.

"Rest. Don't be stupid. You still need it." I felt a soft pair of lips pressed down my forehead and I was back into the sweet darkness again.

I opened my eyes and I sat up. Regretting it when pain shot in my head from the sudden movement. My eyes were sore from being closed for a long time. I stretched my muscles before looking at my surroundings.

Everything screamed elegance in this room. It resembles the most expensive room in a five star hotel. The bed was like a cloud of softness. There were two sets of sofas on either side of the room. The other one looking out the floor to ceiling window. A giant chandelier glittering in the middle of the room. On the far left corner was a grand piano standing majestically. I immediately felt uncomfortable.

I didn't know this place. I was in the small box. I died. Didn't I?

I was panicking now. If I'm still alive then it means those men can still hurt me.

I jumped when the double doors of the room opened and came in a man who resembled John.

I gasp and I tried to retreat away from him. I fell from the bed.

"Please.. Please don't hurt me." I closed my eyes. He's going to put me inside the box again or worse he's going to drown me over and over. "I'm begging you please.."

I felt him touch my cheek. I backed away from him until I hit a wall. "No. No please!"

"I won't hurt you baby.." I watched him leisurely walk towards me.

I closed my eyes. Praying for this to stop. For him to go away.

"Una."

I gasp. His hand tilted my chin up.

"Open your eyes Una. Or I swear I'm going to slice those eyelids off."

I panicked even more and started to hyperventilate. Then the most bizarre thing happened. His lips were on mine, coaxing my mouth to open. My mind went blank and eyes fluttered wide open. What..

Before my mind could process what's happening he pulled away. Amusement sparkling from his eyes.

"There. That was easy." He pulled his phone out of his pocket. "Felicia, bring food in my room, soup would be great."

He placed his phone back into his pocket and opened his mouth to say something but his phone started ringing, he rolled his eyes and answered the call.

"What?" He growled. "Cancel the shipment then. Did you just call me for that stupid question?"

While he was busy berating whoever it was who called him I sat there on the floor, my back against the wall. I was in shock. That man kissed me. He kissed me!

My jaw fell on the floor as I continue to process this information in my head. I watched  him paced around the room almost growling at the person he was talking too.
