Tara watched as Emiliano paced back and forth in front of his bedroom door as they waited for the doctor to finish tending to Sia. Tara was lucky to have come just at the right time because since the morning she planned to pay a visit to her little sister and try to talk to her and reason with her. Maybe she would forgive her, however she has a few matters to attend to that was why she decided to visit Sia in the evening. It was shocking to step inside the mansion only to find her sister trying to get from the bloody floor and at once she had rushed to help her out and immediately called the doctor and Emiliano who apparently was in an important meeting, however at the mention of Sia hurt he left and came at once. After some minutes, the door opened and the doctor walked out,
“Doctor, how is she?” Emiliano asked, and the doctor smiled.
“Y.. yes doctor”Tara said as well, she was concerned about her little little even if Sia refused to talk to her even then.
“Mr. Alvaro, your wife is alright… just a minor injury, but she will be fine”the doctor said and Tara ushered her away while Emiliano prepared to go in. When he heard about Sia haven’t fallen down the stairs, he was devastated and left in the middle of the meeting and by the time he got back the doctor was already with Sia while Tara was outside and refused anyone getting in no matter what.
“Hey”he said as soon as he entered the room and closed the door. Sia whose head was bandaged was sitting by the window looking outside. She looked fine and Emiliano was happy everything was alright or else he wouldn’t have forgiven himself if anything bad happened to her,
“There was no need to leave work in the middle… I’m fine”she said without looking at him and Emiliano sat beside her and hugged her from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder,
“Shh… don’t say that… how can you be so careless… I strictly told you to stay in bed,”he murmured in a concerned voice as he tightened his grip and Sia sighed and leaned back. She was lucky nothing bad happened, she really had no idea how she felled off the stairs just like that,
“Shouldn’t you be sweet-talking me right now… I’m in pain”she whined and Emiliano chuckled and moved away from her and took her by the arm.
“Come”he said and led her to the balcony and once they got out he closed the doors, Sia was surprised as to why they were out there however she just went with the flow and sat on his lap just like he was gesturing her to do. The balcony was her favorite part of the house, it was where she looked at the stars and sometimes she and Emiliano spent some nights cuddling on the sofa.
“What?”she whispered as she reached for his thick black hair and Emiliano smiled warmly at her and leaned more to her touch.
“We are here now… its peaceful very peaceful”he remarked strangers which confused sia as she looked at him with a blank expression and Emiliano reached for her cheeks and played with them.
“Do you know who the most important person to me is?”he asked and sia nodded and pointed at herself. Emiliano too nodded because she was the most important person in his life.
“Tell me… what’s bothering you now”he ordered in a serious tone and Sia knew she had to tell him everything about Angel. Yes, angel was his cousin, but the man was dangerous. She was no fool, and she knew it was Angel who set her up, luckily his plan wasn’t successful.

Logan didn’t know why what Rhea had told him was still bothering him, it was not like he cared about her or anything, but he still was a human being with feelings, and hence he felt bad that the little brave cat had gone through so much. It was weird because he had seen Rhea with Sia and mostly Rhea had a jovial personality. She was always laughing and causing trouble so how come she had all that on her shoulders.
“S… so sorry”Logan said as he nearly bumped into Rhea, but luckily, she stopped before any damage would happen.
“Well I… sorry I was about to knock”she said awkwardly because she was about to know on the door at the same time as he opened the door.
“Umm… it’s quite late… is everything okay?”he asked as he walked back in the room and Rhea followed him in.
“I’ve decided… I can’t stay with you… those men are dangerous”she started saying with great difficulty as she fiddled with her hands and Logan who was now standing by the window looking at the black sky nodded and Rhea continued.
“Like you said I’m trouble and if I… if I stay here then you like will be harmed so… I will leave tomorrow and don’t worry I have a friend who is a nurse… she’s a real nurse, so I’ll call her”she added with some hesitation to it and waited for Logan to say something, but he remained quiet. Rhea waited for a while but still, the man wasn’t saying anything, and she guessed he didn’t care, and therefore she looked at him one more time and turned to leave his room.
“I prefer the one who had been a nurse since her past life”she heard him say and with a confused expression Rhea stopped and turned to him and Logan looked at her cheekily with his hands in his pockets, he was dressed in black and with his long blonde hair with beard he looked like some dark scary prince.
“What?”she asked with a raised brow and Logan took small steps towards her while she took small steps backwards until her back hit the door did she stop and Logan walked up to her and stood just before her, way to close for her comfortability.
“Look here little miss… don’t think so high of yourself… first you shot me… left me helpless, and now you think lame stupid excuses would get you out of this… hell no”he whispered close to her ear with a smirk tagging at the corners of his lips and Rhea clenched her fist in anger.
“M… move away from me”she stammered the words out but Logan moved even closer to her such that no space remained between them.
“Why? do I make you feel… things”again Rhea couldn’t see his facial expression but by the way, he said the words, she was sure he had a smirk on his face ‘how cocky’ she scoffed in her heart.
“Fat chance”she said with anger and pushes him away and Logan stumbled back and chuckled.
“Look here Mr. Martinez, so you know… you are not my type… your long hair I hate… your beard I hate and of course a whole of you is what I hate… so sincerely speaking you can’t be the type of man who would make me feel things… I’m sure even short hair wouldn’t make any difference tsk tsk”her voice was full of disdain as she said to him while looking in his eyes, Logan was shocked because a few minutes ago she was like a soaked cat, but now she was saying mean things to him.
“Have you looked at yourself in the mirror… while you are here make sure you stay away from my room”he said that and extended his arm and opened the door for her and Rhea looked at him with a frown and walked out before stopping to say something.
“And one more thing… I’m your nurse… your body is MINE for now until you recover”she said with a wink and walked away, leaving Logan with a weird feeling as the word mine repeated in his ears and again the recalled her words about his hair and beard.
“What! I am handsome with long hair”he muttered with a frown and walked to the dressing mirror and stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself and indeed, he was good looking, Logan frowned even more why did her words affect him it was not like he would change his looks for a crazy troublesome little girl with a lot of issues, would he?
