Their Possession

Forty One

Elora's POV

My eyes are glued to the ceiling as my body lies down still on the bed. Even lifting my hand needs energy right now. But this pain is nothing compared to yesterday.

Yesterday I woke up with so much pain between my legs and my eyes started watering after realising how much pain my body was in. But they were with me pampering my body with gentleness I don't know they are capable of. But today I was alone in this bed with my own horrific thoughts.

Yesterday when I started crying they held my body and cooed at me sweet whisperings. Then they gave me a relaxing bath and fed me before putting me into sleep again. But today I feel sad waking up alone in bed. It's been two days since that night but I still feel the soreness down there.

My eyelids closed slowly but it snapped open and my upper body jerked up from the bed when I realised something. My physical pain was long forgotten as I bent my body left, opening the drawers, I took out the pill bottle only to find it surprisingly empty.

I can't believe that I forgot to take the pill yesterday and I can't understand how the hell this bottle got empty. I sat up straight and rummaged through other drawers hoping to see the pills appear magically. I slammed the last one shut with a frustrated sigh.

I got up from the bed angrily only to fall on my butt with a gasp. I thanked God for not falling butt on the floor before trying to stand again. This time I stood up with consciousness and took a few steps ahead with my wobbly legs.

When I seemed to pick up the steps much better, I walked towards the closet in an oversized t-shirt which is reaching my mid thighs. It was obviously theirs by the way it is sliding off of my shoulder.

...

"Don't underestimate him, Preston." I stopped on my track when I heard Alec's voice echo inside the study room.

"I understand your point, Alec. Even though we are tracking him we shouldn't make any decisions in haste." I heard Preston's voice and my legs took a step forward curiously closer to the door.

"Make sure you check the facts and give us the details tomorrow. Then we can proceed with our plan." Asher commanded in a professional manner with his deep, familiar voice.

"I will. Anything else boss?"

"Did you take care of Natasha? I really hope you did justice in punishing her, Preston." Asher asked with a hint of playful tone in his voice making me frown.

"I did boss, I didn't go lenient on her just because she is my woman."

"Good. Make sure she learns her lesson. And she isn't allowed anywhere near our wife anymore because she failed to protect her and our trust." My eyes widened hearing Alec's instructions.

God, what did they do to Natasha? Is it because of that incident? But she is not aware of anything and nothing is her fault at all.

Should I ask them to -

My thoughts were cut short and replaced by instant fear when the door in front of me opened revealing Preston. I was holding my breath looking at him wide eyed. His straight face changed slightly after spotting me in front of the door. He frowned down at me and I looked at him like a deer caught in a red light.

"What's wrong?" Asher asked from inside making my wide eyes get even wider. I looked at Preston and shook my head, silently pleading at him.

God why did I come here in the first place. I just came here to ask them whether they have any excess pills stored anywhere. But I didn't expect myself to get caught like this.
