The Abused

Chapter 10

I woke up in a hospital. I rubbed my eyes and tried to sit up but I couldn't. I turned my head and saw Felix asleep in the chair beside me.

"Felix?" I whispered. He opened his eyes.

"Oh my God. Caterina you're awake." He jumped up and walked towards my bed.

"How long have I been in the hospital?" I asked him.

"Two days. And this really isn't a hospital it's the basement of the castle that is reserved for our doctors and staff." He meant the maids. I nodded my head. I reached for the glass of water beside my bed but it fell and shattered on the ground.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to break that glass." I mumbled. What was wrong with me?

"Don't worry about it il mio amore." Felix said as he walked over to the other side of my bed where the broken glass was. "Alfredo will most likely want to talk to you since you are now awake. Even though he shouldn't be allowed anywhere near you." Felix grumbled.

"Felix? Who's Alfredo?" I asked. He was talking about a man that he must hate but I had no idea who he was.

"He's the boss. The one that did all of this too you. The one that put you in that bed." I stared blankly at him.

"I don't know who you're talking about." I seriously didn't.

"Its alright Felix. Alfredo did a number on her. I'm not surprised that she doesn't remember what happened or who Alfredo is." And man in a lab coat said as he walked into the room. "Hello Caterina. We've met once before. I'm Dr. Mitchell."

"I don't know you. Where am I anyway?" Didn't Felix say something about a castle. Wait, who's Felix.

"You're in Italy." Dr. Mitchell said.

"Felix said something about a castle. But who's Felix?" I asked him.

"I am." A man sitting in the chair next to me said. He was a supermodel. He had black hair, blue eyes, and defined jawline, and lips that looked so damn kissable.

"How do I know you? Why am I in Italy? Where's my mom?" I practically screamed at the Doctor.

"Why doesn't she remember me? She said my name not even ten minutes ago." The supermodel asked the doctor.

"She has some brain damage from what Alfredo did to her. She may recover her memory, or she may not." The Doctor said. "Come with me Felix. Let's give her some space."

They both left my room leaving me alone with my thoughts. Who the heck were this two men? I didn't care either at the moment. I just wanted sleep. So I closed my eyes and let my mind drift off to sleep.

I woke up to someone knocking on my door. I looked up at the person and saw it was a man. He had piercing green eyes.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"My name is Alfredo. I'm your husband." The man said.

"But the doctor said you're the one who put me here in the first place. Why would I marry someone like you?" I hissed. I didn't know who this man was but he made me mad. Like fuming mad.

"Caterina. You love me. I know you feel it in your heart. All you have to do is just tell me how you feel and everything will be okay." He smiled at me. Why would he say I loved him when he beat the crap out of me. I could NEVER love someone like him.

"Get out of my room. I'm resting. I don't want to deal with you right now." I said as I rolled over on my bed.

"Don't you dare-" Alfredo was interrupted by the supermodel.

"Alfredo someone is here to see you. They are waiting in your office." I heard footsteps leave my room. I rolled over and supermodel was standing in the doorway of my room.

"What do you want supermodel? I don't want to deal with all these questions. My head hurts enough." He chuckled.

"Supermodel moya lyubov'? Is that what I look like to you?" That name... I knew it from somewhere. I thought about it for a bit and then I remembered.

"Goodbye moya lyubov'." Felix kissed my forehead and then walked down the stairs and out the door.

"Felix?" I breathed out. I knew who he was now. He looked at me with wide eyes.

"You remember?" He asked me. I nodded. Then a unbearable pain when through my skull. It felt like my skull was being split in half. I screamed out in pain. "Doctor we need you in here!" I heard Felix yell. I saw Doctor Mitchell come rushing in but the darkness devoured me before I knew what was happening.

Felix's POV
It was so hard to see Caterina in that hospital bed and not being able to do anything to help. This was all my fault. If I wouldn't have called that woman then Caterina wouldn't be in this bed. She's been asleep for eight days. The doctor put her under and medical coma that way her brain could heal itself. I shook my head and stood up from my chair. I couldn't sit here any longer. But what if she woke up when I was gone? What if she needed me and I was there? I looked back at her. Then I remembered that the doctor said she won't be awake for another four days. I sighed and walked out of her room. I saw Alfredo in the hallway pacing.

"What's got you so riled up?" I asked as I got closer to him.

"I don't know what to feel Felix. I hate her one minute but when something like this happens I feel like shit and that i shouldn't be alive." He looked up at me with tears in his eyes. I shook my head. But in my mind I was smiling and laughing. I was right when I said that Caterina was his weakness. And I don't even have to tear him apart. He's doing it for me.

"I'm sorry Boss. Maybe what we all need is sleep." I put my hand in his shoulder. He nodded and walked off towards the stairs. Once he was around the corner I walked back into Caterina's room and sat down on the chair. I must have passed out cause I woke up to her voice. It was so quiet I thought I was dreaming until I opened my eyes and saw her staring at me.

After the whole situation with Caterina not remembering what happened to her and the doctor taking me out of the room I went and got Alfredo. He immediately bolted out of his office and into her room. I was sitting on his couch when someone knocked on the door. I opened the door and saw a man I thought I was dead.

"Felix? Where's Alfredo I need to speak to him." The man said.

"James? I thought you were dead?" I was shocked.

"No dumb shit I'm not dead. But I need to see Alfredo immediately." He walked into the office.

"Why?"

"I can't find my sister. And he can find her better then the police can."

"Your sister? I didn't know you had one. I'll look her up in his computer. What's her name?"

James hesitated then said, "Caterina Hernandez."
