Dull pain washed over every inch of my body as a groan left my mouth I slowly opened my eyes squinting them and attempting to adjust with a piercing light falling on my eyelids my hand reached my head feeling the awful heaviness and throbbing, a frown creased between my brows I felt something wrapped around my head, I slowly got my limbs up and looked around and it's my room,
But how did I get here? I gulped assessing that I'm no longer in my last night's dress wait... Who brought me here and who changed me? My mind revised the incident that happened last night abruptly Marcello's face came into my sight I shut my eyes tight as the throb got worse my eyes ushered open realizing before I passed out I saw Azriel again jumping on Marcello and the look on his face that alone can make anyone run away, did... Did Azriel kill Marcello...?
"Adira dear!" I snapped my head up so fast that the throbbing pain in my head made me wince, she hurriedly put the tray on the nightstand and sat beside me, "Oh thank god! Dear, you come back in conscious I was so worried," She engulfed me in a hug which I appreciate more than anything right now I hugged her back and let her gentle stroke on my back sooth my jumbled mind and emotionally drained self,
She gradually let me go and after assessing the bandage around my head she planted a kiss on my forehead, "Maria how... Umm how did I get back here and who did change my clothes?" I asked the question that is bugging me her eyes softened hearing my meek voice, "I got a call last night to urgently be here I hurriedly came here and saw Mr. Harrington carrying unconscious you," The scared look on her face tells me what she saw must've been shocking for her,
"There was blood on your back of the head and Mr. Harrington —his clothes were coated in blood too I was so scared dear!" She caressed my hair staring at me with tears in her eyes, "He took you to your room and called the doctors I asked many times what had happened but he didn't say anything, the doctors treated you and left I was asked to change your clothes so I did," She kissed my knuckles literary giving me the warmth of a mother,
"But Mr. Harrington didn't budge from here I asked him to rest for a while or at least change his clothes but as if in some trance he didn't even acknowledge the idea of leaving you he just sat next to you staring at you holding your hand whole night," This made my stomach flutter, he stayed with me here whole night... "Maria, where is he?" I couldn't stop yearning to see him, "He changed and left in the morning," I sighed dejectedly,
"Dear don't think too much, here have your breakfast then your medicines," Maria smiled where I just nodded as she insisted I let her feed me she try to divert my mind but I couldn't stop recalling last night a part of me still can't believe that happened to me... I almost got harassed and this nagging voice kept on asking what if... what if Azriel hadn't come here I would have— I inhaled deeply closed my eyes and clutched the duvet tight. "Oh, my dear! why are you crying?" The affectionate voice broke me out of my trance I realized tears are streaming down my cheeks,
she hurriedly pulled me into a warm hug, I inhaled deeply and tried to erase those scenes emerging in front of my sight increasing my palpitation, she backed off me and stroke my cheeks wiping the tears, "Dear you can tell me anything, don't hesitate it will make you feel light," She uttered way to sincerely I believed her and nodded, I end up telling her all that happened last night and it did felt nice letting out my mind I sighed looking down at my fidging fingers over my lap, I heard her muttering something under her breath, she held my chin and made me look up at her,
