ALEX
Pain is the first thing I register. It's not the numbing kind. The brutal kind. The kind that cuts through your nerves and reminds you you're still alive when you shouldn't be.
I thought I was going to die. I was ready to die, but shockingly, my girl saved me.
Fuck, I owe her every breath. I didn't want her exposed but the deed has been done, I'll just have to fix those posing as a threat.
I can feel the stitches in my chest like they're mocking me with every breath. My body's weak, my limbs are fucking heavy.
But something inside me is burning. Something deeper than pain.
Rage.
Because she's not here.
Because I heard them. The anesthesia must have weared off because I heard Dad talking to mum about how Athena has been called again and he's making some calls.
My vision is red.
I rip the IV from my arm and ignore the scream of the machines. The nurse tries to rush to my side.
I grab her wrist midair.
"Don't. Touch. Me."
Her eyes widen as she stumbles back.
"I need a wheelchair!" she shouts.
"No," I growl. "Bring me Luca."
"Mr. King."
"Bring me Luca. Now!"
She flinches and then rushes out.
I'm in pain right now, telling me I need to lie down isn't what I need right now.
Luca appears minutes later, storming in with Mum behind him.
"Alex," she starts gently, "you need to lie down. You're barely-"
"Where is she?"
"Who?" She asks innocently.
"Mum, where is she?"
She swallows.
"She's... being questioned. But your father is-"
"I'll pick her myself!" I turn to leave when she tugs on my hospital shirt.
"Baby, you just woke up and had a delicate surgery. Trust your father to handle this, he's not going to let anything happen to her."
Over my dead fucking body! I'm not spending another second without seeing her.
