Chapter 24

Ravi's pov

Uhh, my head hurts so bad I thought about opening my eyes slowly to see a room I have never seen before in my life.

"Oh my God Ravi, you are finally awake. " Adrian said, rushing over to me.

I whined at the loudness of his voice, "calm down Adrian, sorry to say but your voice sounds like a cat trying to sing. "

He huffed, "even in sickness, you rude and sassy as hell. "

I cracked a smile, "and is that a bad thing... Definitely not. " I said, trying to get up... Key word TRYING.

"Don't do that Ravi, you could open your stitches. " He said, helping me to lay back down.

My stitches... What stitches?. I do remember getting in an accident.

I frowned in confusion, "Adrian what stitches are you talking about? "

He looked shocked when I said, "Ravi you...you don't remember the accident? "

"Wait, you mean I was involved in an accident that could have taken my life? " Please say no,'' I begged.

"Yes WE were but I escaped with much injury. "

"That's good, but it was my terrible driving skills that got us into this mess. " I muttered, feeling ashamed that I somehow got Adrian hurt and in danger because of my reckless driving.

Or so I thought because the lack of eye contact between me and Adrian all of a sudden is very suspicious.

"What is it? " I questioned.

Rubbing his neck nervously, "Ravi, it wasn't your bad driving skills that got us i have an accident. "

It was like the recent event of my life was playing in front of me, accompanied by so much pain that I found myself screaming on the floor after a few minutes.

Eyes moist with tears, "oh my God Ravi, are you ok? "

No...i am not ok but due to the shock, i couldn't remember how to even reply so i shook my head in a negative way. I'm not ok at all, I remember all; everything that happened, the being followed... And even the conversation with mum.

I couldn't stop the tears running out, I remember everything...The hate and betrayal I felt all rushing back.I wish I didn't remember because I know I wouldn't be feeling this much pain if I didn't.

"Ravi, I'm so sorry... I didn't know. "

"What did she mean to tell me the truth? " I said looking at him and daring him no to lie to my face.

He sighed and bowed his head in shame, it seemed like this was going to be a big one.

Eyes closed, "I didn't know that she is your mother. "

"Yeah, I didn't know but what does that have to do with what you are not telling me? "

He sighs, "it has everything to do with it... Because she is my mother too. "

"What! " I said eyes wide, "look at me Adrian! "

He snapped his head up and stared at me, tears dropping from his eyes.

"Wh_What are you talking about? " I was trying so hard to keep myself cool and calm but I am losing it by every single second that passes.

"Remember I told you that Marcus had a relationship with his wife's sister which resulted in me being born? "

I nodded in response, "yeah, you did. "

"Well that was your mother Sonia. "

I was speechless at this, I was short of words...short of words that mother could do this to dad.

Oh my God...Dad, fuck I need to get home I thought looking around for an exit but I couldn't find one.

"Adrian, where are we?" I said looking around. The room looks so strange, no windows or doors.

"I don't know. After the accident, we were both unconscious then I woke up in this room and the doctor was there attending to your injuries. "

"So you're telling me that we got kidnapped when we were unconscious? '' I said, staring at my feet.

With minimal eye contact and a very sad voice, "yeah that's exactly what happened — and i am very sorry. " He said, breaking down completely.

I raised my head up and caught him staring straight at me and I couldn't help but look away. I don't know if i am overreacting but I just can't bring myself closer to him. My trust issues are acting up...and I can't be blamed. IT means two people closest to me broke my truth for them— and you know what they say ' once trust is broken, it can never be repaired'.

The sniffles, "Ravi please don't do that... It feels like my chest is being cut open. " he begged, "don't turn away from me besides you can't exactly blame me for that. "

I raised my brows, "and why can't I Adrian?... You hid something this big from me and yet you expected me not to turn away from you! "

"I didn't know about it!. I didn't know that she is also your mother — but not until I saw her at the airport and she definitely remembered the way she acted. "

I somehow felt remotely bad for blaming everything on him, "I...I'm sorry for blaming you. I just felt really betrayed that I didn't even reason things well and just blamed you for everything. "

"Yeah , I have something to tell you. " he said.

"What is tha_" I was cut by the loud bang of the door hitting the wall which made us jerk in fear.

Adrian and I huddled together as buff men in black suits walked in...with a man in a lab coat in their mist. They didn't say anything as they walked in, the men in black just moved to the corners of the room.

"Adrian son, it's been so long. " A tall man with a slightly protruding stomach said. He must be the famous Marcus Rain.

I turned around to look at Adrian to find his head bent and grip his fist, drawing blood from them... Yep, that is definitely Marcus and I wouldn't stand by the sidelines and let him get hurt by this monster again.

I stood up and covered Adrian with my body, which I think is probably funny because Adrian is definitely taller and a little bit wider than me, especially in the shoulder part but that's not what is important right now.

Marcus raised his brows in amusement, "what do you think you are doing little one? "

I huffed, I wasn't so little... Ok maybe i am but NOT the point, "Don't call me that you fucking yeti. ``I said wishing I was glaring lasers at him. Yeah, that's how much I am disgusted with him.

I wasn't sure what the joke was but the monster and his goons busted into laughter. I narrowed my eyes at them and turned around to Adrian just to find him laughing too...Really, are these people serious?

"Alright Alright, enough laughing...that wasn't what I came here for. " Marcus smirked.

"Well whatever you came here for is not available for taking so you can just take your disgusting self AND your goons out of her or...or better still let us go and if you do I promise I wouldn't hurt you badly. '' I said as I stood my ground and stared into his eyes. I would not let this horrible man bully Adrian again, I made a promise to him and I am definitely going to keep it.

He huffed, glancing sideways, "look little one i do_"

"I told you never to call me that again and when you do because I know you will... I wouldn't be so nice as to warn you again. "

He grinded, "I like you bunny. "

Is this guy serious, I mean I just told him no nicknames or any name at all, "No nicknames of any sort, short stuff. ``Wait, I didn't get that right...he is not short.

"I will call you whatever I want but that's not why I can be here... I need my toy back. " He said, staring at Adrian with a dark glint in his eyes.

Toy... Did he mean sex toy?. I turned back to look at Adrian to find him downwards and fiddling with his fingers. I wasn't seeing his face but I knew that he is very much ashamed of his past besides who wouldn't be but it's not like he had a choice to for himself. He was forcefully subjected to that life by his so-called father.

God... That man is disgusting and I wouldn't let his filthy hands on him and cause more damage to him than he already has.

I said with my nose high, "I am sorry Mr Marcus but I can't and would not let you do that, I mean come on he's your son for christ sakes. "

"I know he is my son's little bunny but that wouldn't stop me from having him and neither will you. "
