Our personal doctor met us at the guest room door. Dr. Lionedes looked over Willow immediately, his facial expression giving nothing away. I entered the guest room and placed her on the bed softly. Her body relaxed slightly, her limbs going slack as she sank into the mattress. “Doctor, this is Willow, please take care of her.”
“Of course, son.”
“I’m Kaily, sir. I know Willow. I want to help in any way I can.”
“Thank you, young lady. How about you shower and get changed? My nurse will be here shortly and she can take a look at your injuries and then you can help her clean Willow up. If she wakes, having a friendly face will help her stay calm.” Kaily nodded before Leo showed her out to the other guestroom.
Dr. Lionedes pushed me out of the way and began to examine Willow, taking her vitals and placing an IV port into her arm. She didn’t even flinch, making me wonder how hurt she was. Standing at the end of the bed, I watched the doctor in silence as he gave her a head-to-toe examination.
He cleaned every wound, no matter how big or small the cut. None of them seemed deep enough to require stitches, but that didn’t make it easier to watch. When he parted Willow’s legs, I almost lost it. Her pussy was swollen and bruised, blood dripping out of her. More blood and fluids were caked to her thighs, down to her scraped knees.
“You don’t have to watch this, you know,” he stated without glancing my way.
“I want to.” I had to watch this, so I never forgot what the Dominguez Cartel did to my angel. I needed to ingrain every gut-wrenching detail in my mind and let these memories fuel my anger.
Dr. Lionedes pulled out a few syringes and vials from his bags and took a blood sample along with samples of the fluids dried on her skin. After that, he took the samples and his bag to the desk that was in the room and set up what looked like a mini lab. A few minutes later, there was a soft knock on the door before it opened. A woman I’d never seen before walked in.
Dr. Lionedes introduced her before I had a chance to say anything. “This is Kim, my nurse.”
She nodded at me. Dropping her bag on the floor, she quickly walked to Willow’s side and began to gently clean the rest of her body, applying ointments to her cuts as she moved. The doctor reappeared on the other side of the bed and using his fingertips, he felt alongside Willow’s stomach as if he was looking for something in particular.
“What’s wrong?” I asked, panic bubbling up again.
“She is going to be okay. I know she looks bad, but most of her injuries are superficial and will heal completely within the next few weeks. As far as I can tell, she has no broken bones or internal bleeding. While she does have a serious infection, her vitals are good, and her oxygen is normal.”
“What about all of that blood?”
Dr. Lionedes looked up at me and sighed, “As far as I can tell, there was tearing and damage but as the bleeding has stopped and I see no sign of internal hemorrhaging, I believe she’ll be fine. Of course, we’ll keep an eye on her.”
“So physically, will she recover completely?” The mental part would be a whole other question.
“As I said, I have to run some more tests to confirm everything, but I’m certain she’ll be fine. She just needs time and patience.”
I nodded as I collapsed down in one of the chairs and waited for Kaily. Once she returned I was going to go have some fun exacting vengeance for my angel. He would painfully suffer every minute he continued to be alive.

Willow
There was nothing but pain. So much pain, I couldn’t even pinpoint where it was coming from. I must have been hit by a car. Any minute now, I’d wake up in some hospital, my parents standing beside my bed, worrying and waiting for me to open my eyes. The smell of rubbing alcohol was thick in the air, adding to my hospital theory. The only thing missing was the sound of a heart-rate monitor beeping in the background. I strained my ears, trying to make out any other sound, but there was nothing for a long time.
When I finally heard the creaking of a door, I tried to pry my eyes open, but they felt like someone glued them shut. “She looks like she’s in pain,” a deep voice said. The man’s voice sounded somewhat familiar, but I couldn’t match it to a face at the moment.
“I haven’t given her any pain medicine yet. I just got the toxicology report back. I had to know what kind of drugs she was given,” another man explained. I didn’t think I knew this guy at all. At least his voice sounded completely foreign to me.
Someone touched my arm, and my body jolted, sending ripples of pain across my skin. “Give her the pain meds already. I don’t want her like this when Dante gets back.” The voice was closer now as if he was standing right next to me.
I gave opening my eyes another try, forcing my heavy eyelids to open just a tiny bit. It took a lot of energy, but I was finally able to get my eyelids to move. At first, I couldn’t see anything but bright light. After I blinked a few times, my blurry vision slowly adjusted and I’m able to make out two men. Both stood beside my bed, and I don’t know either of them. I don’t know why I thought I did.
My first instinct was to be scared, to scramble off the bed and get away from them, but one look at his face had me pausing to reevaluate. Both men had kind eyes that were soft, and creases of concern were edged into their foreheads.
“Don’t try to get up. Just relax and let the medicine work,” the man that looked like a doctor said. “This should take care of the pain. You will be much more comfortable soon.” I watched him attach something to the IV drip that stood next to my bed.
It took me another moment to realize that IV was attached to my arm. My gaze wandered from the clear tube sticking out of my arm to the bruised skin around my wrist. What happened? Why was I here, and where was I? The man, who I thought was a doctor, stepped away, but the other man remained by my side. “My name is Leo and that is Dr. Lionedes. You are safe, Willow. No one will harm you while you are inside these walls.”
I opened my mouth to ask him why I was there, but my throat was so dry it only made me cough. The sudden movement had pain exploding through my chest and abdomen. My eyes squeezed shut as tears rolled down my cheeks. I tried to curl up, wanting to hold my torso, but my arms were so heavy.
When I opened my eyes again, Leo was holding out a glass of water in front of my lips. Sliding his hand under my neck, he lifted my head carefully so I could drink. I took a greedy sip, letting the cold liquid soothe my burning throat. With the same gentle touch, he laid my head back and set the glass on the nightstand. Just as I let myself sink back into the soft pillow, I could feel the medicine spreading through my veins. Slowly, the pain faded away, and a warm and fuzzy feeling took its place.
