Page 67 of Her Improper Desire

"These jerks suddenly showed up to block the doors," she heard Klaus say angrily, "and this goddamm hospital won't do a thing about it."

Prue turned to Khadem, asking shakily, "Does that mean Klaus didn't see you come in?"

"He didn't."

She saw him hesitate. "What is it?"

"I can also leave without being seen—-"

Prue was already nodding before he even finished speaking. "Please."

Khadem's fists clenched. "You don't want your parents to see me?"

"Oh God, no." She could just imagine how her parents would react, and then there was also Klaus. Having them meet Khadem under these circumstances would be a disaster—-

"I see."

The sudden hollowness of Khadem's voice penetrated her panic. "Khadem?"

But he had already turned away, and Prue was left staring in shock as Khadem opened the door, and with his security immediately forming a wall around him, he was able to walk past her parents and Klaus without being seen, just like he had promised.

"Oh God, Prudence, honey." Celine came running into the room, her usual poise gone. "Who was that man? Are you alright? Did he do something to you?"

Her father and Klaus entered the room and asked similar questions, their expressions uneasy and worried.

She wished she could make herself answer them, but right now, all Prue could think about was Khadem.

Why did it feel like she had made the biggest mistake of her life?

Chapter Eleven

Prue stayed for a nightat the hospital before being discharged, and she wasn't sure what her parents and the doctors had talked about, but when they came to drive her home, they had ceased to question her about the "stranger" who had "hijacked" her room.

Her parents advised her to stay home for a few days before going back to university, and when Klaus came to visit her after his soccer practice, Prue knew she could no longer delay the inevitable.

She told him what had happened to her without naming names, but Klaus had somehow still guessed Alta, Chip and the others were involved, and it had hurt to see him break down while she was recounting her ordeal.
