Chapter 30
“Mum, it’s me Leah,” I said in fear. She shook my hands away from hers, moving back towards the bed.
“Am I supposed to know who you are?” She questioned with suspicion.
The expression in her eyes made my heart twinge in pain, when she stared at me like I was a stranger.
“It’s me Leah.
I’m your daughter,” I repeated this time, pleading for her fucked up brain to believe me.
But just like always—she laughed.
“Who are you girl?
Are you lost?
I don’t have a daughter, please get away from me,” she asked, sitting in a protective stance on the bed, as if she were expecting me to attack.
“I’m not lying.
Don't you remember mum—me—Leah Harnes, the daughter you birthed, with the love of your life—Robert Harnes,” I replied, pleading and begging for her to remember me.
I watched in hurt as her face twisted when I mentioned my father, as she whispered his name under her breath.
Then her eyes drastically flared, and she shouted for help.
“Help!
Somebody help me!
This strange woman here is trying to kill me,” she shouted, screaming frantically at the top of her lungs.
I stood frozen, watching her display.
This was not the first time she had a drastic memory loss in the middle of our conversations.
My mother suffered from retrograde amnesia, a side effect of her tumor.
For years I watched her slowly forgetting everything about me, to suddenly having episodes where she remembered me.
The nurses had warned me to stay away, because sometimes she became violent, thinking I was trying to harm her.
So I hardly visited her, except on the days when she was calm and remembered me, just like today.
But this was the first time I ever experienced her agitation.
“Miss Harnes. I’m so sorry, but you have to leave now.
The patient is not at rest,” A nurse said, as she gently pushed me out of the door.
“Is she getting worse?
She has never reacted like that before,” I inquired devastated.
Tears filled my eyes, and I did not bother wiping them away as they trailed down my face.
“Although there is no improvement yet, she is stable.
She had only one episode today, that was after your family members came to visit.
She reacted exactly like this, screaming in fear,” The nurse explained. Her eyes were full of pity as she watched me.
I wanted to scream that they were not my family members, but how could I.
Vivian paid for my mothers treatment, and she has been given full access to the patient, as one of her guardians.
And there was nothing I could do to stop her from visiting my mother.
“What did they say to her?” I asked. My jaw is tightened in anger.
I knew Xavier or worse Vivian must have said something to my mother, they just have.
Something that made her scared of me—enough to make her ask for help and not fight back.
“I’m sorry ma’am, but that’s not part of my job. I have no idea what they talked about,” she explained.
My body trembled as I walked out of the hospital.
My soul filled with so much rage at everybody, but most especially Vivian and Xavier.
My phone rang, and I looked at the unknown number knowing who exactly was calling me.
“Hello sir,” I answered. My annoyance for how he treated me earlier at work had not simmered down one bit.
“I need you now,” He said, and his gruff voice sent a twinge of pleasure down my core.
“Where are you, I’ll pick you up,” he asked, but it was not a question—more like an order.
I immediately shared my location with him, making sure to walk far away from the hospital before doing so.
I did not want him finding out about my mother, he already knew too much about me.
“What are you doing here at this time?
This place does not look safe?” He asked in irritation.
A permanent scowl etched on his face, as he watched me.
“You don't care about anything I do right? So why are you worried?” I asked, watching his orbs flare in anger.
His jaw clenched, but he did not say a word.
He entered his luxurious estate, parking his car, he stepped down leaving me two steps behind him.
He strolled to a room which I guess was his bedroom, he unbuttoned his shirt, his eye never straying from mine.
I watched as his ripped and hard body was revealed inch by inch with every button he popped open.
“Str*p!” He ordered one word—and I followed.
My dress laid at a pool beneath my feet.
“I’m going to f**k you hard and fast, do you understand me baby girl?” He asked, in his usual tone of endearment, transforming to the lover I know to be in bed.
“Yes sir,” I answered, my heart racing in anticipation.
“Good girl. Now pick a safe word,” he said, his words made me frown in confusion.
“So innocent.
Pick a word, any word.
When it gets too much, and you want me to stop, you’ll say that word,” he said.
“Red,” I answered, making his lips twitch slightly.
His eyes filled with dark promises for me, and that alone made me more wet.
The gaze of lust blinding my anger over how he treated me earlier today.
“Good. Now, get on the bed, and keep your a*s in the air. The way I like it,” he ordered.
