Chapter 7: Pity of a Stray Animal
"Where is my sister?!" Obinna demanded at the reception desk, his voice commanding and filled with urgency.
The receptionist froze, her cheeks flushing at the sight of the handsome second prince. She stumbled over her words, her mind rendered useless under his piercing gaze.
"Are you deaf?" he snapped, his tone sharp enough to cut through her daze. "Where is Princess Ebere?!"
Flustered and close to tears, the receptionist hastily handed over a card with the patient's location. In her panic, she didn't realize that he had asked for Princess Ebere, not Princess Nnenna whose name was printed on the card.
The elevator ride was tense, the housekeeper fidgeting nervously beside the prince. As the doors slid open to the top floor, Prince Obinna stormed out, his long strides eating up the distance to the patient's room. He flung the door open, his eyes scanning the room.
Instead of Princess Ebere, he found Nnenna. She lay pale and frail, her eyes fluttering open at the abrupt noise.
For a moment, they stared at each other. Obinna's steps faltered as guilt flickered in his usually impassive eyes, but he shook it off as his heart turned cold again.
Nnenna's heart tightened at the sight of him. 'Why is he here? I can't even enjoy coming back to life for one day without them ruining it for me?' she wondered bitterly. Memories of his indifference during her darkest moments came rushing back.
'Even if it's for once, I just want you to feel sorry for me. If love is too much, then at least grant me the pity you would give a stray animal.' She thought bitterly.
The last time they had been in the same room, she had been bleeding at the bottom of the staircase, pushed by her fourth brother, Chidera. Obinna had seen it all.
He had not lifted a finger to help, leaving the servants to rush her to the hospital. His cold words from the past echoed in her mind: "She is a dead weight. Let her go."
And now, he stood there, staring at her with something that almost resembled remorse.
