Chapter 48
Zenovia
The doctor threw me a wary look and then shot a hesitant look at Cahan.
He only shrugged, “Well then leave some pain meds for her. If she feels like it, she will have them.”
Saying so, he walked out of the room without another word. Meanwhile, Elijah came to sit beside me.
“You are going to be fine, you are strong.”
I nodded my head and he squeezed my hand before muttering, “I wille check on you shortly”
Matteo gave me a nod and left while dragging Drusi along with himself.
The other servants left too leaving just Maria with me.
“Would you like to eat something?” She asked but I shook my head.
“No, I would like to rest a little.” Maria cupped my face and replied, “Sure, if you need anything just ring
the bell”
After she walked out, I let out a sigh and decided to calm down. The pain in my body was not that much
or maybe my body had developed a certain tolerance after going through so much pain.
And now that I was alone, my mind kept reying the whole day of the time spent with Cahan and
how he was behaving,
with me.
But despite his frustrating behavior, I realized that my wolf was trying to contact me, to help me heal.
That meant she had notpletely abandoned me.
I just did not know how to reach out to her. I was willing to endure the pain if I would get to meet her. I
could not stand being weak and helpless anymore.
“Please, if you are listening to me…know that I want to meet you as much as you are trying. I promise I
will get strong”
I said to myself and closed my eyes. The silence in the room was deafening and it was unlike the influx
of all the smallest noises bombarding my brain
I wanted to sleep but it was evading me. Not knowing what to do, I picked up my phone and was
surprised to see a message waiting for me.
It was from an unknown number.
I opened it and checked the text that said- Hey, Ham Harry. Did you reach home safely?
I immediately replied, Yes, I did.
The message was sent a few hours ago and I kept staring at the screen hoping to receive a reply.
When it was close to half an hour that I still did not receive a message. I gave up and put the phone to
the side,
But then I heard a beep. Curious, I quickly pulled it near me and saw another text message.
Take
your medicines.
That’s it. There was no name, no introduction, nothing else.
Only one person would be so gruff to me.
I typed ‘Fuck off and make me run for
I wanted to hit enter but decided against it. If he came thundering inside this room, he could very well
life and I was not even in the condition to walk, let alone run to save myself.
Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
I stared at that stupid message for a while, wondering what to reply. And then I simply decided to not
send any at all. He was just being courteous, nothing more.
At least that is what I told myself. There was another beep and 1 opened my inbox. It was from Harry.
That is great to hear. So, do you want to meet again?
I did not take even a second to reply and typed Yes and hit the send button.
Harry’s reply was instant this time.
Great. Meet me in an hour at Jack’s Bar. Use the money to hire a cab and get there. It is a famous
ce.
I looked at my leg. It was still hurting and I wondered if I could run away without limping or screaming.
I prayed that my wolf would stop trying to mend me. Now was my chance to run away. I recalled that
Cynthia and Cahan were probably going out somewhere tonight.
He was going to be busy.
So, I might as well run away. With that thought in mind, I got up and slowly went towards the bathroom,
limping towards it.
The pain had stopped considerably but I did not want to risk it so I took the painkillers just enough to
not make me feel drowsy.
Then I showered and put on loose jeans and a hoodie so that it would give mefort to run or walk.
The painkillers took their effect and my leg did not hurt a lot while moving and I was not limping
anymore.
Maybe the doctor had given me a small but strong dosage.
While I was getting ready, I received another message.
Wear something nice for the bar so that you blend in.
It was Harry’s message. I frowned after reading it. I did not really like wearing sexy or revealing but
then I would stick out like a sore thumb if I went to the bar wearing a hoodie and blue jeans.
I stared at the wardrobe and rummaged through it, wondering what to wear.
After a few minutes, I found the perfect dress a knee-length A-line silhouette in a beautiful ck
colored satin fabric. It had a modest boat neckline that showed a hint of my corbones without being
too revealing. The sleeves were three-quarter length, adding an elegant touch to the overall look.
The ck would allow me to blend in the night and not get noticed if I slipped through the shadows. It
was definitely not because I had seen Cahan and Cynthia’s exchange where they decided to wear
ck.
I decided to cinch the waist gently with a slim ck belt, entuating my figure without going for an
overly sensual look. The flowy skirt of the dress allowed forfortable movement and did not make
me look like I wanted to attract attention.
For jewelry, I chose a pair of small pearl stud earrings that added a touch of elegance to my
appearance.
As for shoes, I slipped on ssic ck pumps with no heel so that they would allow me to move
effortlessly.
There was an entire section of handbags, purses, and clutches all around and stuffed with things of all
possible colors. It made me dizzy just by looking at it so I was d the dress came with a nice small
pocket that I could use to store my phone and the cash.
For my makeup, I went for a natural and radiant look. I opted for a soft smoky eye with neutral shades,
a touch of rosy blush on my checks, and a subtle lip color that enhanced my lips without being too bold.
I left my hair open and decided to take a peek outside. The coast was clear and most of the servants
had gone to sleep.
Since Cahan was not home, the rest of the people had decided to go to bed early it seemed.
“Good for me” I thought and slowly walked out of the mansion, tiptoeing my way through the huge front
yard and sprinting out of the gate before the guards would notice me.
I had to walk a few minutes before I spotted a cab and as Harry had instructed informed the driver of
the venue.
He did not ask further questions which meant that it was indeed a famous ce.
My heart was hammering at the confusing thoughts swirling through my head wondering how to thank
Harry for his generosity.
I took my phone out of my pocket and sent him a message.
On the way to Jack’s bar.
His reply was instant.
Great. Can’t wait to meet you.
I felt a little blush rising up my cheeks at the thought of him saying that. We had only met once but he
seemed like a kind-hearted man.
I was also determined to return the rest of the money since I did not want so much. Maybe, I could ask
him to refer me to some ce where they were hiring and I could start earning
That way I would have my own money.
The thoughts about Cahan and the night I had spent with him were now just a memory. He was
probably happily giving Cynthia whatever she wanted so it was high time that I focused on my life.
I was lost in thoughts and did not even realize that the cab had stopped. Blinking, I looked up outside
the car windows and saw a big neon sign outside an expensive looking ce.
“Miss, you have arrived”
I got out of the car and handed the driver the money but he did not have the change.
“Miss the ride cost you 40$,” He said and I fumbled.
“40$?” I asked in an incredulous tone and he replied, “Well, it iste night, the charges are on the
higher side.”
I found the 100$ bill and gave it to him. “Here”
“Sorry miss. I do not have the change”
1 frowned but before I could answer a hand tapped on my shoulder.
“Are you in some trouble?” I looked up to see a masked man looking at me.
“Uh, do I know you?” I asked and the person took his mask off.
“I think so”
“Harry!! What a way to startle me!” I said and he chuckled at that and looked at the driver.
“Keep the change”
The driver nodded and left without another word while I looked at Harry with a wide open mouth.
“What are you? Some secret billionaire?”
Harry chuckled, “Spend some time with me and you will soon find out.”
