PURE DESIRE

9. Fire

~Author POV~

Tiza went inside the lab with an excuse for testing some medicines
She was pretending to check the medicines.
One by one, all the lab researchers went to the cafeteria for break
When the lab was empty
Tiza took a test tube and mixed it with some chemicals, and went back to her cabin
She took out the makeup from her bag and made some fake purple bruises on her wrist, and went downstairs to be safe

After a moment, there was a huge sound of blast she stood at a place and smirked
The evil smirk

~Valentino POV~

When i saw her standing between fire trembling and trying her best to not cry, I quickly took a fire extinguisher and sprayed it everywhere
While spraying everywhere, I made a path and walked towards her
I held her wrist and took her out of the cabin, carried her down all the way to the 2nd floor in one of the med rooms, and helped her sit on the chair near there

Valentino: Are you okay??

She didn't speak anything

I gently tap on her arm and spoke

Valentino: Eliana.......Are you okay?

She looked at me for a moment and nodded

Her open hair was messy while she got some bruises near her neck, wrist
She was a mess
A beautiful mess

Valentino: Wait, right here. I'll get the med kit

I searched in cabinets for medkit and found one

I could see her controlling her tears and trying her best not to show me that she was in pain

There were purple bruises on her snowy white skin

I took out the antiseptic wipes and wiped them over her neck and wrist,
I could see her glassy eyes looking down at her wrist,

Then i applied an ointment on her bruises, at last band aid her wrist

Eliana: Thanks
She spoke in a low and soft voice

Valentino: You don't have to

I cupped her cheeks with my palms and made her look up at me
And wiped out tears with my thumb

Eliana: I feel like i am the worst doctor of the hospital because i wasn't able to save myself. How would i save my patients

She said while sobbing

Valentino: No, you are not the worst doctor
In fact, you have been one of the best doctors i met

Eliana: You don't need to show sympathy for me

Valentino: I am not

Eliana: Did everyone come out safely??

Valentino: Yes

Eliana: What about the child in 203
Is she safe?? She couldn't walk

Valentino: Yes! Everyone is safe
You should care for yourself too!!

Eliana: I am alright

Valentino: Yeah, of course you are with bruises, right?? And wasn't even able to stand a moment ago

Eliana: I- i wa- ( she was out of words)
Fine! I agree i wasn't fine a moment ago, but now i am all good

I sigh

Eliana: How did the fire occur ??

Valentino: I have no ide-
Before i could complete, i was interrupted by some annoying voice

Tiza: valen! Look at my wrist. i got bruises.

She said with a fake cry

Valentino: First of all, it's "VALENTINO"
and you are a doctor, right??

Tiza: Yes, i am, but can't you just help me like you helped this stupi-

Valentino: Dare to call her with that word again. I'll make you regret it

Tiza: She has definitely trapped you with some lies

Eliana stood up

Eliana: i didn't have time to waste like you

Tiza: i waste time?? Do you even know who i am??

Eliana: As if i care (eye roll)

Tiza: I am your senior doctor!

Valentino: Since when??

Eliana: You know what, Ms-- Whatever your name is, i gotta check everyone out there
I am a responsible doctor

She was walking out of the door when she stopped and spoke

Eliana: And yeah, better get some good quality makeup for those fake bruises
Your act might look a little real next time

She walked out with a savage hair flip

No wonder why she looks so pretty even with messy hair

I simled proudly, looking at her figure walking out of the room

~Eadric POV~

I was checking up with some files for our
"GOLD CHARM" project
When i remember how fabulous dress she designed
No wonder why she is in the top 5 fashion designers

I also had to find the person who stole her hard work and her designs

I thought to call Valentino because he has been a great hacker

*on call*

Eadric: Hey

Valentino: Hi, how are you doing, bro??

Eadric: Great, I was wondering if we could catch up tonight. It has been a long time since we met

Valentino: Of course, let's meet at the cafe of my hospital

Eadric: Sure, we'll meet tonight

*i hung the call*

Then i was busy with some stuff for the event

~Evelyn POV~

As i get to know that Eliana is injured, i quickly runned to her house

*knock knock*

Why isn't she opening the door??

*knock knock*

I had extra keys from her house as she lives alone here, and i am the only one who has those extra keys

I opened the door and was surrounded by darkness
I switched on the lights of the living area when cold windy air came towards my way
I saw the balcony door was open. i slid it to close the door. i searched her in the whole house, but she was nowhere to be found. i tried calling her, but she didn't pick up

Evelyn: She must be in the hospital checking her patients

When i saw her cosy couch, i couldn't resist laying on it. I lay on her couch for good 15 minutes. When I was about to fall asleep, i remembered that i was here to help her
I removed my overcoat and placed it on the couch, and did a messy burn for my open hair. I went inside her open kitchen and wore an apron

Evelyn: Hmmm.......what should i make for her ??

After thinking a lot, i thought to bake some cookies and prepare a hot soup for her

I searched for all the ingredients and made cookies. When i put it in the microwave, i was about to go search for the ingredients for a soup when suddenly a pair of hands covered my eyes
