“What are you doing here?”
Jasira didn’t know how her legs suddenly stopped moving and her breath started to fail her, her new oxygen was filled with the new intoxicating scent that was making her gasp for breath.
She clasped her sweaty finger together and slowly turned to her intruder.
“I asked a question.” He reminded icily, his cold voice cutting deep into her skin. His eyes roamed around her and notice that she was looking paler than In the morning and her wounds seemed treated even though it was not plastered.
“Ammm… huh.” He watched intensively as she stammered rubbing her thumb together. He decided to let her continue her drama without rushing her.
He shouldn’t spare her for being in the control room, the cameras are being watched here and any intruder could penetrate through them here.
“I was… finding my way to the kitchen and I end up getting lost.” Her words threw him out of his thought and he glanced away from the screen back to her.
“I swear I didn’t mean to poke nose, I didn’t mean to come here at all.” She rushed her words clasping her palm together, staring at him with drowsy eyes, she prayed he spared her, just this once.
He glanced at her for a while, his eyes going up and down on her body.
He knew she was telling the truth and he didn’t have any energy to deal with anybody right now, he had to find a solution to the guy that run away with that man.
“Out.” He snarled and she scurried out. “Don’t you ever come here again!” He snapped after her.
“That was close,” Jasira muttered releasing a deep breath. She hasn’t taken more than two steps when her stomach grumbled loudly again. A headache hit her forcefully, she knew she won’t be able to get to her room without food, the only option was to go back to Alejandro for food, even if he was going to kill her later, he should at least provide food for her.
She turned back to the room she just left while holding her forehead, her knees were suddenly weak that she had to sit by the door to knock.
Her vision is starting to get blurry, she used the little strength she had left to knock before she black out, submitting to darkness.
Alejandro hissed at the continuous knocking before he left the system he was operating for the door. It should better be a good reason.
He cracked the door open to see Jasira sprayed on the floor unconscious.
“What the hell?” He gasped closing the door behind him, he crouched to her level and placed his hand on her nose.
“She is still breathing.” He shrugged his shoulder standing up, he knew that her breathing was very faint and it would lead to something else if she is not medically attended to.
There was no way he was going to carry her to the clinic with his hand but delaying is dangerous and he had not even had sex with her, his money won’t waste just like that.
He crouched down to her level once again and squirted his face before he slide his hand under her neck and below her knees.
He lifted her in a bridal style and adjusted her head on his rigid torso, she weigh little to nothing in his arm.
All of this disgusted him so much, he thought as he left for the clinic.
“Boss,” Maxwell called stunned to find Jasira unconscious and in Alejandro’s arm. He rushed to him and bowed in respect.
“Here, take her to the infirmary.” He ordered passing her to him and Maxwell collected her swiftly and readjust her on his arm so she could be comfortable.
“Let me know when she gains consciousness.” He added walking away before he stood on his track.
“Met me in the control room immediately after you are done.”
“Yes, boss.” He said affirmed and turned away, jogging towards the infirmary. She was very light, it’s either it’s because she was starved for days or she was naturally like this.
He stopped before a white bungalow which was neat with a peaceful and serene environment.
This is the manor infirmary, they got hurt easily with the kind of job they did, and going to the hospital every time for bullet removal or stitches will reveal the little secret they were covering.
He was about to enter when a young lady came out in her white scrub, they dressed like a professional here, especially during emergencies.
“Can I get a stretcher?” He asked and she nodded looking at him strangely, he was carrying a lady in his arm which had never happened.
“Would you do that now?” He snapped at the nurse who shivered because of the coldness in his voice.
She ran in and ran out a stretcher and she was accompanied by another nurse, Jasira was taken from him and he left for the control room immediateiately.
He was by greeted his juniors as he walked past them. His mind drifted to the moment he saw Alejandro carrying Jasira in his arms earlier, what could have transpired between them to lead to that? He knew he won’t get the answer anywhere so he just forgets about it and increased his pace so he could get to the control room quickly.
****
A light sleepy wince left Jasira’s mouth before she opened her eyes slowly till she was certain it has adjust to the lightness. She gazed across the plain white room, her brain foggy as she tried to remember where she was. She caught a whiff of antiseptics. Is she at the hospital? Bit by bit, her foggy memories started to become clearer.
“Shit!” She muttered rubbing her temple and slowly sat up, she rested her back on the headboard and gazed at the white wall.
She remembered being hungry and fainting while fainting for him to open the door. How did she get here? She thought she was going to die, at least for her, death is better than here.
She sighed loudly before stretching her arms widely, she felt better but she can still feel the hunger lunching back to her, she really need to find food before she eventually gave up.
She dropped her feet to the ground and was about to stand up when a nurse entered carrying a tray with a covered plate in it.
“Where are you going?” She asked walking closer to her.
Jasira ignored her question and only focused on the tray she was carrying, the nurse noticed and chuckled lightly.
“Here.” She said placing it gently on the bed. “It’s for you anyway.” She added spinning around to the door.
“Thank you,” Jasira added slowly.
“I’m only doing my job.” She retorted without halting on her steps and soon she was gone leaving Jasira alone in the creepy white room.
Her stomach grumbled loudly which made her drop her gaze to the food in her front. Her mind wandered back to what the nurse said, doing her job. Who sent her? It can’t be Alejandro, he was not that nice. She concluded before deciding to dig into the food.
*****
After having one of the delicious food at the clinic, Jasira left for the manor with the help of the same nurse, who describe how she would get to the manor to her, with her little stay here. She has known Alejandro’s house was bigger than she imagined.
So far she had seen, the tall manor, that deadly bungalow she was kept to, and the clinic she visited, she even saw a large green field on her way back to the manor with some of his boys training there, then a gym house by the field side, no wonder they were all build up.
After the stressful journey from the clinic to the manor, she finally got to her room. Her eyes move to the door next to hers and she felt her stomach twitch, how could the arrangement of their rooms be this close?
Her legs itched to walk there and checked if he was inside but she knew that was a deadly thing to do so she gently went inside her room before another dangerous thought came to her mind.
She flicked the switch on and was shocked to her gut to see two carts of food by her bed.
Who left this here? She was marveled by the time she had gotten there and beheld the sight.
Her stomach grumbled loudly at the sight of the grilled lamb, she thought she just finished eating but turned out she was still very hungry.
She can’t finish two carts at the same time but they won’t waste because she stored them in the mini-fridge in her room.
After devouring the ones she can devour and keeping the rest inside the fridge, she later found out from the maid that came to pack the plate that the food was ordered to be bought to her room by Alejandro, that was the last person on her mind, she wondered what reason he had to did that for her?
That shouldn’t make her leave her room for his room because of curiousness and to thank him. And that doesn’t require her knocking and Alejandro asking her to come in and her having the effrontery to step into the devil’s den.
The room was dim with a beautiful dark blue light. Strangely it was warm which surprised her because she knew he was a cold bastard and his space should be a mini igloo.
Her eyes shoot across the room and her eyes met up with those icy blue eyes. She swallowed her lump and regretted the moment she decide to come into his room.
“Come here.” He said dryly closing the laptop on his desk, he watched as she strode slowly towards him, nervous as hell. How she cleaned her palm with her very short gown.
Either she intentionally wore that mid-thigh red gown to seduce him or she forget to change, the gown hug her body perfectly showing her extiquite shape. He got a good looking of her cleavage when she finally stood in his front, her neckline was a deep V-neck gown.
He raised his brow asking her why she was here, Jasira swallowed her lump and fisted her sweaty palm on her thigh.
“I… I came here to let you know that I’m sorry and thank you for the food.”
Alejandro’s face molded into a sly smirk, he stood up from the chair and Jasira moved back. She kept her low gaze because of his eyes, they were like sea urchins that prickled her skin every time she glanced into them.
Alejandro took another two steps and was standing before Jasira, she got choked up by his intoxicating scent, his high stature overwhelming her.
Alejandro tilt his head down towards her neck, and his fingers trailed on her skin which made her shiver. His cold touch was like pointy knives on her skin, they nipped at her skin ready to dig in.
“Baby girl.” His hoarse low voice made her body shake with desire, that feeling she knew too well. The desire she tried to run away from was tormenting her again.
“Another rule for you.” Her breath became low when he slowly bite her earlobe, it hurt but made her body shake with lust.
“You apologize or appreciate using your body in this room.”
