Chapter Thirty Six

Annabel opened her eyes to a new surrounding again. She didn't know when she slept off or even realized when she was moved. She sat up to look around when Luca spoke up from a corner of the room where he was standing leisurely.

If she couldn't tell he was either there on order, she would have thought he was there for some ulterior motives considering how spooky he was standing there.

“Don asked us to change locations for the time being. No maids or anything to avoid infiltration.” He explained to her calmly. He didn't get a response from her and it wasn't like he was expecting anything from her.

They might have been seeing each other and walking past each other on a daily basis, they barely spoke unless she had requests or Raffaele had ordered him to tell her something.

“Katarina also said to rest. Don't move around yet so your stitches won't get torn again.” He said and she just ignored him, laying back in bed with her hands gently placed over one another on her belly. Her eyes were glued to the ceilings like she could see a writing on it bold and clear.

“It's all useless.” She mumbled, making Luca look up at her. “If he does everything because of me, it'll all be useless. I didn't come here to befriend anyone. I just have to watch Pinky get better and he can finally return me to where he took me from and I want that as soon as possible.”

Luca heard everything she said but didn't know what to say about it. She should have told it straight to Raffaele but of course she wouldn't. He would just snap again and just get mad at her For a reason even he couldn't explain.

Luca notice Raffaele had started acting weirdly different since Annabel arrived. Maybe it was different conversations they had whenever she went to report about Pinky's health to him.

The door was pulled open, breaking his thoughts and Katarina was standing there with a tray of food. She smiled up at Luca before stepping in. “Thank you for watching over her.” she whispered to him before heading towards Annabel who was still laid in her same position, not moving.

“Are you better now?”she asked, wiping her forehead with cold water and a towel while she glanced over at the tray of food brought in for her. She knew it wasn't the right question to asked but she had to just to strike up a conversation. “You should have something. You haven't eaten anything and I don't want to remove the IV. It's your support now.”

Annabel didn't say a word. She just laid there still staring at the ceiling. “Annabel,” Katarina called, this time, her voice rose in panic because she wasn't responding.

“Kai,” she called hurriedly and he walked in. She was going back and forth, trying to get a few things. But it qas very obvious that she was panicking.

“What's wrong.” he asked, rushing over to her side.

“I don't know. She is not responding. I don't know if she's still breathing. Is She still breathing? What if something happened to her?” She panicked.

Kai rushed over to Annabel while trying to calm her down. “Just relax and think everything through. She will be fine. She is still breathing but her breathing shallow.”

Katarina Rushed back to her, touching her and finally Examining her. “Eyes open, not reacting to touch. No blinking. Where is Don? We won't be able to deal with this at home, we have to take her to the hospital and quick.”

"But he instructed me not to move her or Pinky out of the house…”

“Move Kai. Muoviti, Kai. Velocemente.” she urged him and he gritted his teeth, moving her to a stretcher and calling one of the guards stationed to help place her in the car.

“Take her to the hospital and do not stop for any reason. I'll stay back with Pinky.” he instructed the guard who nodded as he got into the van to drive. They drove off and immediately, two vehicles followed in front and behind them.

Kai's gaze hardened as he watched the three vehicles disappear. Kai finally removed his phone from his pocket. He dialed the one contact he knew wouldn't like the news.

Raffaele was seated in the club, looking straight at the woman who was busy clicking her lips and rolling the sweet in her mouth, waiting for a report from her when his phone buzzed.

“Speak.”

“Annabel was just taken to the hospital by Katarina. I can't take her because I have to stay with Pinky.”

“What…”

“Calm down. They might be after them. That means this location isn't safe either.”
