Chapter 9: happiness is a mirage.

“Is she okay?” Ethan asked the doctor. The doctor sighed. Ursula had begged the doctor to lie to Ethan that she still needed to be monitored just so she'd not go back to his house immediately. She needed a break. “She still needs to be monitored but she's out of danger” the doctor lied. “I want to see her” Ethan responded and was about to walk towards her ward. “You can see her but I'd advise you to let her rest a bit. Maybe, come back tomorrow because she's sleeping right now and won't be awake till tomorrow morning.” the doctor lied, again. Ethan sighed and nodded his head simultaneously. “Okay…thank you” he finally said. They shook hands. “It's my pleasure, Mr Ethan” the doctor said with a proud smile, one that showed almost too obviously that he was happy to have Ethan at his hospital. Ethan walked to his car. “Home” he said and the driver drove him back to the mansion. Back at the mansion, Ethan got undressed. He stepped into the shower to cool off. His blonde hair plastered to his face. He let out a sigh and smoothed the hair backwards as the water ran down his face and body. Ursula..what a headache…a beautiful headache. He smoothed his hair again as if to wash off the thoughts of her. He turned off the shower. He started to wipe his body with the white towel as he stood admiring his nakedness in front of the mirror. His boner stood strong and proud. His door opened. “Oh my god, Ethan, you're…” “What the fuck? Taylor” He covered his privates immediately with his towel. “Ethan, I just came to check on you” “I never asked you to. I don't need it. Get out of my room. Now!” Instead, she walked closer to him and grabbed him by the boner. “Ethan, please, I'm craving you” “Get the fuck away from me” She started to undress herself. Ethan frowned. Her perky nipples stood in his face. She forced them against Ethan's chest. His towel fell and his boner couldn't help but harden at the sight. She pressed her wetness to his boner. “Shit” he exclaimed as he felt an unwanted excitement surge through him as he made contact with her wet front peach. “Don't you want to feel my juices?” She tried to manipulate his weakness. He picked up her dress and put it on her body, pushing her out of his bathroom. “Please…Ethan” “I'm warning you” She pulls back away from him and throws herself on his bed. She lays on her back and spreads her legs. “Tell me you don't want it, Ethan..I know you do….looks it's dripping you don't even need lube” She fingered her opening and swung her legs back and forth in excitement with one hand on her knee. “If you don't get up, I'll call the maids to come help you out!” She closed her legs, sat up, rolled her eyes and stood up from the bed. “Is it really because I cheated on you or is it just your childhood past haunting you….can't you just get over what you did, huh?” “How dare you?” his voice rose harshly in anger. “Oh, how dare I not? You're angry with yourself, that wild teenager you got you in trouble. You're lucky your wealth could cover up for that but one day your wealth won't be able to save you. I promise..” She picked up her dress with a smirk, eyeing Ethan down. He watched her walk out, his fist vibrated. He hated how right she was and how she used his biggest weakness against him. His memory flashed back to when he was a teenager. That particular day it all happened. Tears filled his eyes. He sat down on the bed with his face in his palms. His palms were now wet with tears. Would I ever be able to forgive myself? It was now evening at the hospital, Ursula sat down on the hospital bed. She pressed the emergency bell. There must still be a way to see Mom. A nurse walked in a state of hurry. “Did you ring the bell, Mrs Blackwood?” The nurse asked. “Yes, I did, please, can I see the doctor, it's urgent” “The doctor is in the theatre right now, Mrs Blackwood but if there's anything you need, you can let me know” Ursula got up from the bed and walked closer to the nurse. She looked around with fear that Ethan might pop up from anywhere. “Is there a problem, Mrs Blackwood?” The nurse asked “There was a woman here about three days ago who was operated on…a triple bypass…Franca Luthers was her name…I'm her daughter but I never got to see her body.. please I'd do anything..to see her…I can even give you this ring…it's my wedding ring, it's diamond, just help me” “I'm sorry, Mrs Blackwood. I canno..” Ursula pulled out the diamond ring from her finger and pressed it into the nurse's palm. “Please” she said again with tears in her eyes. “My shift ends in ten minutes. Change into your clothes. I'll be right back” “Okay” Ursula changed back into the dress she had worn before. Suddenly, an idea struck her. Run away. Ten minutes, later, the nurse returned in basic clothes with a canvas tote bag. The nurse looked around her, eyes darted around in panic. “Mrs Blackwood, you have to wear this scarf because everyone would recognize you” She handed a black chiffon scarf to Ursula. Ursula hung it over her head and wrapped it around her neck. The nurse pulled the scarf lower over Ursula's head, low enough to almost cover her eyes.

I'm going to see mom's face once or at least know where she was buried. Finally. I can't believe that monster tried to keep me away from seeing her and..

“I hope your dress doesn't bring any unwanted attention” “No, it won't at all, I promise” “Let's go”
