44

I woke up feeling numb. I might as well do some exercise to feel something again. Hehe, like you can run 2kilometers without passing out. My subconscious mocked. This little demon has to learn how to mind her damn business, I hissed at myself. If anyone is watching me right now, they will probably think am insane. Ain't you? My inner voice asked again. I need to leave this room if I don't want to lose my damn mind.

I walked into the kitchen, and Jenny is already there.

"Do you ever sleep?" I find myself asking out of curiosity because no matter how early I woke up, she is already in the kitchen, doing one thing or the other. It's like she lives right here.

"Of course, I do. I just have to wake up early, knowing I have work to do." She said, in all honestly, I think she is overdoing it. I mean, it's just Armani and me in here and I ever never seen him act like shit towards her before so why overwork herself when she only has to prepare food for two people?

"Anyway, I'd like you to make extra food that I will be taking to my brother."

"Sure, I hope he gets well soon." I jog back to the stairs without giving her a reply.

I went into the shower to take my bath and when I was done, I styled my hair and put on a fancy dress.

Nothing special is happening today, I just feel like dressing up, if that answers your question.

I took a matching bag and step out of my room to have my breakfast. I need to be fast so that Davis can have his breakfast on time. I don't really trust the hospital food. I sent a message to Bella to check up on her and make sure she is fine. I would have gone over to her place but am sure the last thing she wants is sympathy and of course, I don't want to make her feel sad again.

Armani was already seated in the dining when I joined him for breakfast. I honestly don't know why he bothers coming down for it. All he does is stare down at the newspaper and sip his coffee looking madly hot like the demon that he is.

"Good Morning" I greeted and he raised his head to take in my appearance. He looked me over from head to toe without missing a bit, making me feel uncomfortable. "Are you going somewhere?" He asked, ignoring my greetings.

So much for a manner.

"Yeah, I am going to check on my brother, if that is fine by you of course."

"You are going to the hospital dressed like this?" He asks, raising his brows.

"Yeah, is that a problem?"

I asked, confused as to why he looked clearly bothered about my outfit. No doubt, my dress is okay. Is he bothered about me getting attention or is he saying I am overdressed for visiting a sick patient? I don't know and I don't want to change either. I feel so comfortable in the dress.

"No, it's not." He finally answered after a cold long stare.

Jenny had set the table already so I pull out a chair and eat in silence. Once am done, I went into the kitchen to carry the already packed food Jenny made for Davis.

I said my goodbyes and grab my car keys, ready to leave when Armani stopped me midway.

"I want to see how he is doing for myself, I will drive you there." Firstly, I know Armani gives Zero Fuck about Davis and he is way self-centred to care about someone else.

His actions right now are only proving my instincts right. Indeed, he has something to do with Davis's situation or at least, he knows something. But then, I can't even do a thing even if I should know the truth, that is how helpless I am.

He took his car keys and take the lead. I followed closely behind him into his car and I gave him the address of the new hospital to which he drives us.

I greeted the nurses at the reception desk and thanked them for taking care of my brother before I go into his room.

"Hey, Davis" I greeted him with a smile.

"You are early, he said, returning with his own smile."

"Of course, I couldn't have left you here, looking like this."

Davis looks all better than he was yesterday. It was as if the hospital performed wonders on him overnight. I felt a relief wash over me.

"Can you excuse us?" Armani asked from behind. I had completely forgotten that he was here. But do I really need to leave them to themselves? What if he did something to hurt Davis? This is so fucked up.

"Lila!" He called out in a more firm tone, leaving no room for argument or questions.

"I will be outside, call me if you need anything." I said to her Davis before leaving them alone.

Maybe that was a wrong thing to do though. I called Bella to take my mind off them but I find myself telling her about them instead.

"Hey Bel, what's up?"

"I'm good, sorry I didn't reply to your text, I was busy."

"It's fine, how are you?"

"I'm fine. What's wrong with you though? You sound worried."

"It's Davis and Armani."

"What about them?"

"Armani told me that Davis was at the hospital, so I visit him yesterday and he told me about how he got hit for begin mistaken as Micheal. Along the line, he found out they were Father's enemy and they did a lot of damage to him. What left me concern was how Armani found out he was in the hospital. I switched his hospital to the one our family uses regularly and now, Armani is in his room, and he told me to excuse them for God knows what reasons."

"Are you sure taking him to the hospital was a good idea?"

"Honestly, I am scared and you know how it is with him. I can't question him nor go against his orders."

"Girl, honestly, I think you should leave that man. But now is not the time to dwell on that, go back into the room and stop whatever is going on."

"Thank you, Bel."

"You can thank me later, go do what you have to do." She hung up.

Just like Bella had suggested, I went back into the room without knocking and I over heard Armani threatening Davis. "Say another word and this will be nothing compared to what next am going to do to you." Omg! I was right, Armani did it.

I slam the door open to indicate my presence and he adjust his suit like he didn't just threaten him.

"I will see you at home, Lila" he said before he exist the room.

What the hell on earth is the man into?
