Lustful Eyes | 18+ |

Annalise opened her eyes with a small sigh and Kitty slammed the water cup on the side table and held her hand.

"Hey, how are you?"

Anna's eyes were blinded because of the bright lights and Kitty moved to dim them. She alerted the nurses and Ayra came along to check on her.

Andreas moved in and looked at Anna who was blinking her eyes and looking at everyone. She was a bit startled to see so many people around her but took a few seconds to realize what was going on.

Ayra on finishing her check-up looked at Andreas with a distasteful look but shrugged her shoulders in defeat. She texted her husband and both of them decided to let Andreas know about Anna's condition.

The amount of toxic and harmful drugs that they found in her body was life-threatening. She had been paralyzed for all these years because of these drugs.

"We need to talk," Ayra said coldly and walked past him.

Andreas wanted to put a bullet through her head then and there but fisted his hands instead and walked behind her.

She took him to Dimitri's office and asked him to sit and she stood beside Dimitri.

"Andreas, she has been paralyzed." He started.

"I can see that. She uses a fucking wheelchair to move around for god's sake." Andreas rolled his eyes looking at Ayra. Both of them literally wanted to kill each other.

Ayra knew he had abused the little girl and had even threatened to inform the police and had fought with Dimitri about the same but he was more concerned about his wife and children. No one could lame him. He was doing what a husband and father should. He was looking after his loved ones.

"No. She can walk." He said. Andreas's eyes widened in shock. "She had been given drugs that have paralyzed her."

"Did she take any medications?"

"I don't know. I don't know anything! She was hurt wasn't she?" He slammed his fist on the table. Ayra flinched but Dimitri held her hand and ran his thumb over her hand to calm her down.

"Andreas we can help you."

"How" his eyes soften a bit.

Of course, he would love to see his angel walk. He would love to see her walk over to him, hell even run to him.

"How?" He asked helplessly again. His eyes displayed many emotions. He didn't even know what he felt. He knew something was changing.

Ayra and Dimitri explained to him everything. They told him she needed therapy to recover and she needed a proper diet, considering she was anorexic, it would be a little difficult but they planned out everything for her. They wanted to help as much as they could and it was very important that Andreas cooperated.

Andreas walked out of the room and headed straight to Anna's room and saw her staring at the ceiling. He hadn't uttered a word as he left Dmitri's cabin. He was just quiet.

Anna moved her head towards Andreas and gulped and licked her lips as she looked at him. She wasn't afraid but at the same time, she wasn't even scared of him. A lot of things had changed. Annalise despise him but she had come to a sort of agreement that this vile man wouldn't let her go. Until her family was safe, she didn't care about anything else.

She could barely look after herself but she didn't mind staying with this monster. She at times wondered how Liam was. After all, they were childhood best friends. She would rather be with him than anyone else. He made her feel safe. He made her feel good about herself. He loved her even though she was flawed. He never complained.

With every passing day, her respect for Liam had just increased. All she now longed for was to look at him. But always came to the conclusion that she would never see him again.

"Angel," he whispered as he moved closer and stroked her cheek as gently as he could. Annalise flinched due to his touch. It wasn't a fearful flinch but at his gentleness.

His eyes bore into hers. She saw a myriad of emotions swarm into in grey eyes. Not knowing what to make out of it.

She looked at him in shock while he stared at her. For the first time appreciated her beautiful green eyes. He had never seen green look so beautiful. She was breathtakingly gorgeous.

"I won't let anyone hurt you, angel." He whispered and inched closer to her face, confusing Anna. He gingerly pressed his lips on her forehead and closed his eye, feeling her soft and cold skin against his lips.

It wasn't lust anymore. It was way more than that but he failed to understand it. How will a man who has experienced very little to no love at all even what it is?

"Sir, the patient needs to rest." The nurse said as she walked in with some medications.

Andreas stepped back but held Anna's hand and rubbed it gently. She stared at his hand before the nurse gave her the pills and asked her to swallow them.

Because of the strong medications, she drifted to slumber instantly.

*******

As Elijah sat down, he looked at the kid in front of him. A small smirk on his face as Liam Fisted his hand on the table.

Liam had decided to meet Elijah. Because if he ever wanted to get his Lise out, it would be through Elijah, as he was the only other person who knew everything about Andreas's mansion. After all, it was their family home.

"What are we going to do?" Liam gritted his teeth.

"We will wait. I have never seen my half-brother so crazy over a woman." He smirked and took the paper weight and started fidgeting with it.

"I can't wait! She needs me!" He screams. If only anyone knew Liam's frustration and struggle. The woman he cherished was away with some asshole.

"You have to or else lose her forever. We need to strike him at the right time. He has been messing with me for way too long, it's time I give it all back to him. With the help of my biggest pawn."

"Annalise"

Andreas made sure Anna would never utter a single word about who had thrown her down the stairs. If anyone was aware of every nook and corner of Andreas's mansion, it was Elijah. He was the one who had pushed her down the stairs and was in no negotiation with Liam who desperately wanted to free his friend and Elijah's revenge.

It was a messed up game with everyone having no clue it was all Elijah who was the game maker.

Lots of lives were about to be destroyed and this was just the beginning.
