The sound of the siren coming from the ambulance can be heard from afar as it slowly approaches our location. As soon as it was parked in front of the gates, some paramedics stepped out of the vehicle and rushed inside the villa, they immediately put Damien on the gurney and they checked his pulse before putting him inside the ambulance. Y/n was still in a state of panic and you couldn't help but feel guilty about the whole situation and blamed yourself for jeopardizing Damien's life.
Twenty minutes passed and you soon arrived at the hospital, you got out of the ambulance and the paramedics carried the gurney out of the vehicle before pushing it towards the entrance of the hospital making their way to the Emergency Room. Y/n waited patiently outside of the room, you were constantly fidgeting your fingers and biting your fingernails, it was clear that you were worried sick about Damien and your anxiety was increasing each time.
Soon after, the doctor came out and started walking toward you and he began to explain everything and informed you about Damien's status, you sighed with relief and thanked the doctor. You took a deep breath before twisting the doorknob and entering the room, you closed the door behind you and you saw Damien lying on the hospital bed still unconscious, it seemed that he lost too much blood from the injury that Michael had caused him and you couldn't bear seeing him in that state just because he protected you from his rival but you're also grateful that he stood up for you.
Y/n pulled out a chair and placed it near his bed, you watched him and you noticed how peaceful he looked while he was asleep. He was handsome even though he had cuts and bruises on his face, you couldn't help but admire his captivating charm and you felt a bit strange just thinking about how he looked at that moment, and your cheeks turned into a light shade of pink, as if you were blushing. You shook your head and shrugged off that feeling but he was irresistible, he had well-defined strong facial features which made him even more alluring, and he was like every woman's dream man and they'd certainly fall head over heels for him. "W-wait...do I like him? I think I have a crush on him, no it can't be". You were busy contemplating your feelings and thoughts at the same time and you didn't know what to feel about it at all, you were confused and you wanted answers and logical explanations about it.
Y/n seemed so preoccupied that you didn't notice Damien was already slowly regaining his consciousness. His eyes were now open, his breathing was steady and he scanned his surroundings and his gaze fell upon you. You felt someone staring right at you so you turned to look around and saw Damien with his emerald eyes still fixated on you. Y/n felt relieved and happy, "I'm glad that you're finally awake", you gave him a warm smile but he just kept staring at you for a while before shifting his gaze toward the window, it was already nighttime. "How are you feeling now? Do you want me to make you something to eat?", you asked politely. "No thank you, I'm good", he said with his usual indifferent tone, he immediately returned to his original persona. You sighed and looked at him again, "Alright if you say so, do you remember anything that had happened before you were even brought here?", you raised an eyebrow and waited for his response. "Only a bit", he said flatly. "Oh is that so? Well okay...at least you remembered something".
He then glanced back at you and said in a deep husky voice, "Hey, I want to ask you something". You could tell that he was serious about it. "Yeah sure, what is it?", you asked seemingly curious. "What did Michael say to you? Did he hurt you? Why were you even at his place?". You took a moment to process his questions as you gathered your thoughts and decided to choose your words carefully before responding, "Well after we parted ways that night when we had dinner at your parent's house, I returned to your place and I felt someone else's presence in the room with me while I was asleep and when I woke up, I-...I saw him and he abducted me", you avoided his gaze before you resumed again, "He wanted me to marry him, he wanted to take revenge on you and I think he'll just use me for his own convenience and then ditch me later, he didn't hurt me and it's all thanks to you, I really appreciate it, thank you for saving me back there", you smiled at him but he just rolled his eyes and gave you that same cold look. "I see, well don't take it the wrong way, I just did it because I don't want to be responsible for you in case you got hurt, and besides it's not of that a big deal, I don't want anyone to lay a finger on you, I'm your fiancé for a reason and it's my duty to protect you or it'll ruin my plans, just don't repeat that stupid mistake unless you want to get in trouble again and don't expect me to be always by your side to rescue you like some sort of prince charming straight out of a fairy-tale, you should be grateful that I helped you back there", he said bluntly. You felt offended and his words cut through like a knife but you didn't dare to talk back. "I understand, it won't happen again, I'm sorry for everything". He sighed and looked out the window again. "Good", he whispered under his breath.
"One more thing", his voice echoed to your head. You were surprised and you tilted your head out of curiosity. "Yeah?", you asked softly. "You're not allowed to leave the mansion without my permission, you'll be under my surveillance from now on and you should know your place Y/n, and you should remember who you belong to, you're mine, got that? You must listen to everything that I say, it's for your own good", he said firmly and you nodded in agreement and he was satisfied with the answer that you gave him.
You stayed for a little longer before you got up to leave and told him that you'd visit him again tomorrow, you exited the room and your lips were quivering as you were trying to hold back your tears as you were hurt by the way he treated you after expressing your kindness and gratitude for him, you got nothing but a set of harsh criticisms and you had no choice but to abide by his rules, you stayed there for a while before you started to walk away from the place.
