Facade

Chapter 36

Mia's pov

Immediately the car pulled to a stop in front of the hospital, I was out and running into the hospital. I didn't even look to see if Damian was behind me. I didn't care. I just wanted to get to Karen and make sure she's alright. And so help whoever hurt her, I'll peel their skin off with a dull blade and enjoy every minute of it. I ran to the receptionist. She looked startled at me. I imagine I must look like a crazed woman. And I probably am. Crazy with anger, that is.
"I'm Amelia Carlos, I'm here for Karen Lee" I said to the receptionist between my heavy breathing. I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned to see Damian standing behind me. I smiled at him grateful for his support.
The receptionist looked through her records and asked
"Miss Carlos, we've been expecting you. Do you want to see her first? Or you want to sort out the paperwork?"
I thought about it for a minute. I wanted to see Karen but I also needed to handle the paperwork. They were both important. Damian moved forward and stood beside me. He smiled at me and said
"Why don't you go see Karen while I take care of the paperwork?"
I smiled at him and nodded. I turned to the receptionist and saw her gawking at Damian. Right! I forgot he is a celebrity. It's pretty easy to forget since he's just normal Damian to me. My overprotective annoying brother.
"Hey why don't you face your work and stop ogling my brother?" I said to her. Yes its embarrassing but jeez, she needs to get a grip. The receptionist flushed deeply. Damian chuckled at her behavior and the receptionist flushed in embarrassment. Probably because she just embarrassed herself in front of her crush. But who cares? I pulled Damian into a hug and whispered into his ear.
"Don't hit on her. I don't like her"
I pulled away from Damian as he burst out laughing. The receptionist looked at me curiously but I ignored her. I'm not in the mood for chit chat.
"Where is Karen?" I asked the receptionist. She smiled widely at me. Probably trying to get on my good side and use me to get to my brother. Bitch, I'm smarter than that. Her expression turned sour when I gave her a pointed look.
"Room 4D in the ICU" She snapped at me with a glare. Her glare was so fierce that I almost flinched. Keyword, almost. Damian cleared his throat. The receptionist turned to Damian smiling seductively. She arranged her and leaned forward, making sure her nonexistent cleavage was right in front of Damian's face. Damian smiled to himself, then rolled his eyes. Oh uh. I've see that look before. Whatever he's planning definitely won't be good. Damian leaned closer to the receptionist, as if interested. The receptionist gave me a smug smile and I shook my head at her in pity. I know my brother is so I know what he's capable of.
"Want my number handsome" the receptionist cooed at Damian.
"What I want is for you to get those flat, rotten pies you refer to as breast off my face before I pull them out and shove them down your throat. You look like an aged whore with std all over you" Damian snapped at her, his voice quiet, eyes flashing in anger. One would think they're having an intimate conversation. Yeah right, more like intimate blasting.
"Burnnn" I coughed out. The  receptionist turned to glare at me with so much hatred in her eyes. But she made a mistake. Damian noticed.
"Hey!" he snapped, drawing her attention. She turned unwillingly to him, face red with embarrassment or is it anger? I don't know.
"The next time you glare at my sister with those beady eyes, I'll destroy you. Do you understand?" Damian glared at her. I swallowed the giggle that threatened to escape me.
"I said do you understand?" Damian yelled at her. She flinched at the intensity of his voice and nodded. Damian shook his head, unsatisfied
"Say I understand" He ordered her. The receptionist sent me a look that said 'Please get me outta here'. I glared in reply.
"I understand" She cracked out. Tears gathered her eyelids. Oh so the butch can cry? I asked myself. Never mess with a Carlos. We are born crazy. I scoffed and walked to the elevator. The door opened and I got in. I pressed the ICU floor. The elevator came to a stop and the door opened. I walked out, nodding to the nurses in greeting. Some of them recognized me. No I've never been here but I'm a Carlos, we are pretty popular. I walked to the room labeled 4D and entered without knocking. Karen was lying on the bed unconscious with several bruises covering her. Sitting on a chair beside the bed was a man. I didn't see his face but I could tell he's gorgeous with the back of his head He was holding tightly to Karen's hand and didn't hear me come in. Who the hell is he? And why the fuck is he with my sister?
"Who the hell are you?" I asked, my voice sharp but quiet. I didn't want to disturb Karen. The man jumped at my voice and turned around. Oh yeah he is gorgeous.

I jumped at the sudden voice and turned around. Oh shit, she's hot. Wait a minute, why did I think of that? Anyway, big brother mood activated.
"And who the hell are you?" I shot back at her, emphasis on the you. She arched a brow at me and scoffed. She folded her arms in front of her and cocked her hips to the side. So sexy. Damn girl.
"I'm asking the questions here. Who are you and what are you doing with my sister?" She shot at me. Wait a minute, did she just say sister? I don't know what shit is going on but hell no. Davis didn't say he had another child.
"Sister? Stop lying, you are not her sister. I would have known because I'm her brother" I snapped at her. I wasn't angry at her. I just wanted to irritate her. She looks so cute when she's irritated. She stomped at foot on the ground. She pointed one finger at me and glared
"Listen to me, Mr bozo. I don't know who you are or what the hell you want. But if you don't get out this instant, I'll have you removed with force and don't think I can't do it."
I grinned at her threat. Remove me with force? Yeah right, twinkle toes. She glared at my grin and marched over to me. She pulled me by my ear and threw me out of the room, locking it behind her. Yep she did it. She really removed me by force. How can such a tiny thing pull me a grown man by my ear. Does she have a death wish? I miss my gun.
