Elora's POV

"What are you doing here?" I took a step back warily. I remember his name. Preston. And I also remember the last time they warned me to stay away from him.

He didn't say anything but took his phone out and dialled someone before placing it his ear.

"Yes boss."

"She woke up just now."

"Okay."

I couldn't hear anything from the other line as I stood there like a dumb blinking my eyes. He soon handed the phone to me after speaking for a while in Russian.

I took the phone from his hand cautiously before placing it over my ear. "Hello?"

"Elora, how you feeling?" Asher asked, his voice was calm.

"I'm -"

"Are you in any pain?" Alec cut me off with another question. I think they are on the speaker.

"I - I'm fine." My voice sounded very tired and hoarse. Even though I feel like a train ran over my body, I lied because one, Preston was standing in front of me and two I don't know what to say. Should I say that, 'yes I was in so much pain because you overused my body without giving me any break.' ?

"We kept the food for you in the kitchen. Don't forget to eat it."

"And you can find the aspirin in the cupboard, take it after you finish eating, okay?" They ordered in a stern voice.

"Okay but -"

"You should -"

"Where Are You." My voice slightly raised as I cut off them.

They were silent for a second before a small chuckle can be heard through the phone. "Why? You miss us, babygirl?" I could imagine them smirking right now.

I was silent for a few seconds wondering whether I allowed to say no to his question. Or should I lie saying yes?

I could hear a sigh before Alec decided to talk "Doll, some work came up suddenly. So we had to come here to Russia."

"And we didn't wake you up because we know you will be tired since we kept you busy all night, baby." Asher completed making my breath stuck in my throat. How could he talk like that. I could feel my face heat up and I turned around showing Preston my back.

"It- it's okay. I will talk to y-you tomorrow." I so badly wanted to end the call quickly.

"Preston will take you home, tomorrow baby. So take rest until then."

"And behave, Lora. Keep in mind who you are." A clear warning and threatening was lingering in their words. I felt goosebumps forming on my skin.

"Okay."

"Good girl." "Good." They said in union.

"Now give the phone back to him."

I turned around and gave the phone back to Preston without looking at his face before walking towards the kitchen continuing my slow steps. Because if I fall now, then I would be abashed.

As soon as I opened the door to the refrigerator the packed food came into my view. I placed the plate of food on the kitchen counter and a glass of milk inside the microwave before sitting on the stool gently. I ate it in the complete silent before Preston decided to stroll inside.

"Are you sure you are okay? Because you were literally limping around the house from what I saw."

I stopped eating as my body stiffened, "Can you take out the glass from the microwave?" I told him, ignoring his question as I started eating again.
