He tried to help me up, but I only stumbled. His strong arms caught me, and the proximity was deadly. Rage began to subside as soon as I found myself in his arms, as if he longed to have me close.
My fucking heart skipped a beat—again.
“You’re not fine, Kaya,” he said, his voice loud.
I rested my head on his shoulders as he carried me towards his car. Once he made sure I was safely on the back seat, he made a few calls. One of them was to Aleksei. I rolled my eyes at the dramatic conversation.
Aside from a slight concussion and my arm wound, I was perfectly fine. Somehow, all of my ribs were fine, and no bones had been broken.
He got in the driver’s seat, and the engine roared to life. “I’m taking you to the hospital. Aleksei will have people clean this up.”
“The hospital is a bit dramatic,” I told him.
In response I got a glare that shut me up immediately.
I couldn’t help the faint smile that formed on my face. All of the attention, all of the feelings he was displaying towards me were making me feel too good. And I didn’t like to feel, because not once had I ever ended up sane after allowing myself to feel.
And each time, it was worse—each time, it was those stupid feelings that brought me nothing but pain and anger. Deep inside, I knew that this was no different; Davorin was no different.
He might’ve displayed more affection towards me, and he was definitely both possessive and obsessed, but it wouldn’t last long. It never did.
But for now, I shook off those feelings. When the time came for us to part ways, it would be through one of us dying, and I would be prepared for it.

“OUCH.” I winced, visibly shaking. The nurse finished patching up my wound and smiled at me softly.
“The doctor will be right with you,” she announced.
“Why? I’m fine.”
“It’s just to make sure everything is all right.”
Davorin had a spare set of clothes for himself in the car and changed before we arrived at the hospital. However, all I had were some baby wipes to clean the blood off my face. The blood remained in my hair, but I wasn’t too worried about that.
Upon arrival, had Davorin informed them that I’d been in a car accident and some interns, alongside a few nurses, had rushed to my side then brought me to the room, whilst Davorin waited outside.
The doctor came through the door. “Good afternoon.”
Her long black hair fell over her shoulders and reached just above her hips. Her lips were plump, coated in a gorgeous shade of nude lipstick. My eyes narrowed at the sight. The woman was oddly familiar.
It wasn’t her face. That was unknown to me, but her aura… her posture, even her figure. I was desperately trying to figure out where the hell I knew her from.
She was reading through my chart and froze. Slowly, she brought her eyes to meet mine. They widened slightly, and it took her a while to shake off whatever feeling had gripped her. She gave me a bright smile.
“I’m Doctor Beckett,” she told me with a gulp. “Would you mind telling me what happened?”
“I was driving back home when another car hit me. It threw me off the road.”
Her brows narrowed. “And they didn’t stop to help you?”
I shook my head. “No, my… fiancé was close by and he saw what happened.”
“All right,” she noted. “Well, it’s nothing serious. You were very lucky today, Miss. But because you did suffer a slight concussion, you’re on bedrest for three days. After that, I’d advise coming in for a check-up.”
The door opened violently, and Aleksei rushed inside, looking pale. My eyes were on Doctor Beckett. The moment Aleksei came in the room, all the blood drained from her face. She looked like she’d seen a ghost.
She bolted out of the room, though Aleksei didn’t seem to notice.
