THE SILENT KILLER

THE SILENT KILLER

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

When I finally wake up, I'm in a dark room. I try to figure out where I am but I don't  seem to get any answer.
I'm scared when I throw my hand aimlessly and it lands on someone's face.
I panic.
It's like I startle the intruder too because I can feel him fumbling with the bed switch. The room is fully lit and I look around taking in my surroundings. I'm not in the room I slept last night. This looks more exquisite than the previous one.i conclude that it must be the master bedroom.
Don's bedroom.
"You scared me..."
I whisper, gulping for air.
"You need some water?"
Don asks as he takes a glass from the nightstand and fills it with water from the dispenser. I gulp it down and murmur a thanks.
I am in a silk nightdress.
"How did I get in here?"
I ask him, rather curiously because the last time I was conscious, I was in the living room, on the couch.
"I brought you here."
He replies, as if it's no big deal.
"Did we.....err....ehh..."
"Stop it, alright! Nothing happened. We just slept. I don't take advantage of unconscious people!"
A sly grin escapes my lips. What did I expect anyway? That he will take advantage of e in my state?
I must be stupid!
Or on a dry spell.
Well, you won't blame me though... It's long since I got paid and having a gorgeous man lying beside me, it's allowed to have some goosebumps.
"It's still late in the night. Just sleep. I won't harm you."
His voice is still slurry, definitely sleepy.

"What if I want to be harmed???..."
I ask almost in a whisper, pulling the covers over me.
" Then I will definitely harm you..."
He doesn't even wait for my approval. Before I know it, his lips are on mine, kissing the hell out of me.
I take that as a challenge and I want to prove to him that I'm not a small girl.
Let's just say, when I wake up the following day, I'm all tired and sore. I can't even look at him straight in the eye.

"Morning babe.."
Babe!
"Morning Don."
Just freshen up, I want us to go somewhere after breakfast."
" Okay,lemmie go to my room."
" No need for that. I have already moved your stuff in here. From today..... I mean yesterday night onwards, you are mine... My woman!"
He says with finality.
"Let's leave the guest room for the guest. You are now the madam of the house."
His words echo in my mind...
" You are the madam of the house......"
The thing is, I'm somehow happy but again I'm not ready for marriage!
I'm too shocked to talk.
"Get moving hun, we are getting late..."
I prepare myself and we go downstairs,hand in hand.
We take our breakfast and as we approach the parking, Drake is already on the wheel, ready to take us wherever.
We occupy the back seat, taking his hand on mine as we relish the previous night's moments.
Don looks happy.
He doesn't look like the mafia and drug Lord that he is.
We drive inside an hospital and Don holds my hand as we head towards the doctor's office. I'm all nervous!
So this was his plan?
The doctor welcomes him warmly.
"Meet my fiancee Donna...."
The doc nods in approval.
"Hunnie, meet doctor Greg, my personal  doctor. He will be taking care of you... Even a slightest flu.. "
I nod.
Don explains to the doc why we are there, which takes me by surprise. I seem to have no choice. I'm unable to back out now that we are in there.

Thorough screening is done into our blood and we are given a clean bill of health.
Don hugs me then kisses me on the lips immediately our results are out.
"Let's cerebrate babe..."
It's like I'm beginning to like the whole thing.
Lemmie play along and see what will happen.
Afterall , it's high time someone rescued me from the street life which I've been used to.

"No clubbing from now onwards Donna... Every kind of booze will be made available in the house bar."
I just nod in agreement.
The drive to the house is short with Don making fun all about me and the first time he rescued me from Gabriel.
Back in the bungalow, we take our lunch and he drags me upstairs.
Once in the bedroom, he takes my lips into his and we are entangled into a mighty kiss when we hear a mild knock at the door.
It's Drake. He hands over the medical report to Don. It seems we had left the forms in the car.
"We need to talk, at least to know each other better..."
" You start.."
I tell him, while chickling like a teenager.
"Alright! I'm Don West..."
Don tells me almost everything about himself, leaving out the fact that he is a mafia. He doesn't need to tell me because I already know!

When he is done, I tell him all about myself, leaving no detail about my pathetic past.
I can see him gritting his teeth in anger.
"That bitch! How dare she make you pass through all this hell? I will make her pay!
"Bree doesn't deserve you fury. She's now in my past!"

We spend the whole afternoon making crazy love till late in the evening. Don knows just the right places to touch me.

"Tell me baby, now that you have agreed to marry me, what will happen to your apartment and the stuff in it?"
He asks me, looking curious.
"Just look for a buyer Darling, I have to sell it."
He nods in approval.
A week later, the apartment has a new owner. I'm now ready to settle as Don's wife.
I just heard from Don that Gabriel is no longer looking for me because he already knows I'm Don's woman.
Our wedding is just a simple one, with just Don's men and a few of his associates.
Don is a busy man so no honeymoon but be promises to be taking me on vacations every now and then.
For the first one month, Don is a gentleman and the sex is just on top. We aren't ready for kids yet therefore I'm on the pill.
However, the happiness is short lived. I'm yet to see Don's true colours..
