I've been staring at the ceiling for quite a while now, bored out of my mind.

It's been around three or four days in this hellhole. Damien won't leave me alone. He won't even let me leave the penthouse.

I'm still keeping up the silent treatment, and he's slowly going mad because of it. So much for a man that only likes silence.

My ankle is healing pretty quickly. I can walk on it without damaging it and without any discomfort or pain, but I can't run or swim with it.

I don't know how he's able to get any work done when he spends half his time annoying me.

Maybe I should return the favour and annoy him instead.

My phone buzzes on the nightstand beside my bed, and I pick it up. It's from Kristie.

I hadn't blocked her yet, I couldn't bring myself to do it. I thought I told her not to contact me again.

Hey Nevaeh
I know you told me not to
message you but I need help

What's the issue?

It's Dion
He's in the hospital

I'm on my way.

I immediately get up from my bed and rush to Damien's office, stepping in without a second thought.

"What happened to knocking-"

"Take me to the hospital, now." I cut him off. I have no time to waste. When he fully registers what I said, he looks concerned.

"Are you okay?" He asks.

"Just take me to the hospital!" I burst, growing impatient. "I'll tell you in the car." I say a bit calmer, when I realise that I came off a bit harsh.

He stands up, immediately complying. Walking out of the office and grabbing his car keys, I rush to the elevator and call it as panic slowly kicks in.

He turns on the engine and speeds to the hospital, and I can't help but worry and feel anxious.

"What's the problem?" He asks, overtaking people with one hand like it's nothing. "You look scared."

"My baby's in the hospital," I answer, checking my phone for any new messages.

"You have a child?"

"Yes!" I shout.

He stares at me confused, and I realise he thinks I actually have a child. "With who? Aren't you meant to be a virgin?"

"No! I mean no!" I shout again, overwhelmed. "I don't have a child."

He's silent for the rest of the ride, focused on driving until we pull up into the hospital parking lot. As he's in the middle of parking, I just can't wait and unbuckle my seatbelt. "Don't you dare." He warns, seeing me about to open the door and hop out.

I narrow my eyes, smirking, and I open the door and make a run for it. I frantically rush into the hospital, right past the receptionist and straight to the room.

Only then I realise I don't know where the room is. Damien catches up to me. "Room 27," He calls and I run to it.

Wait, that was my room.

I burst in to see Kristie sobbing next to Dion who seemed to be sleeping on the hospital bed. "Is he okay? What happened?" She looks up, seeing me and she instantly runs up to me pulling me into a tight hug.
