Betrothed To The Cold Billionaire

Steven walked closer to him and turned him to face us. My eyes almost bulged out from its sockets when I saw Oliver laying on the bare ground with blood all over his face and body.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

I almost let out a shriek but I was quick to stop myself. What the hell happened to him?? Why is he here? Was he attacked? I looked around my surroundings in fear but I couldn’t find anything or anyone suspicious.

Just a trail of his own blood. I used my eyes to trace it but it led me to a darker corner in the alley. I had the urge to take a closer look to see if I can find whomever that did this to me but I stopped myself.

What if the attacker sees me and attacks me too?

“Isn’t that the young master??” I heard Steven ask but I didn’t listen to what he was saying.

I noticed that he had a lot of stab wounds. Who could have done this to him? I crouched next to him and touched his face. He was burning up.

“He’s loosing a lot of blood. We need to take him to the hospital.” Steven said as he crouched next to him and attempted to pick up his body.

“No..”

“What??”

“We can’t take him to the hospital.” I answered.

“Why not? He’ll bleed to death if we leave him unattended.” Steven said.

“He’ll get treated. Just not at the hospital. Let’s take him back to the mansion. I’m sure they have a private doctor I can call. I’ll just have to ask the butler.” Steven didn’t argue with my decision. He helped me carry the unconscious Oliver and placed him in the backseat of the car.

I sat at the back and placed his head on my laps while I used my hands to apply pressure on his wounds so he wouldn’t bleed to death. Steven started the car’s engine and zoomed off immediately.

I chose not to take him to the hospital because I figured out that he would be in more danger there. What if the person that attacks him tries again in the hospital?

Also, with these types of wounds, I’m very sure the police was going to get involved. I would be made to give statements and they might even make me the prime suspect.

Getting him treated at the mansion would be safer for both Oliver and I because I doubt his attacker would be bold enough to try again in a mansion filled with many guards.

I just hope that the private doctor would be able to save him.

**************************************

The man watched from the dark carner as Ariel took his unconscious body away. He was one step closer from finishing it all but the bastard escaped and now, someone has found him.

He couldn’t attack Ariel and her driver because they outnumbered him and he had sustained some injuries from his fight with Adrian.

He knows the boss would be very disappointed with the outcome of all that had happened and it would be very hard to catch him again. He was only able to do it today because he caught him unaware.

He knows that Adrian would be back for him and might even kill him. He needs to finish the job real quick but how? He overheard that they weren’t taking him to the hospital but back to the mansion.

That made his job a whole lot harder because it wasn’t going to be easy to get past the guards in the mansion. And when he gains his consciousness, he knows that Adrian would hunt him down.

All he could do now was lie low for sometime and find a way to escape. When he couldn’t see Ariel’s car anymore, he left the corner and came out of the alley from the other way while limping slowly.

**************************************

By the time we got to the mansion, the car’s seat was already soaked with blood same with my uniform. Steven got out of the car and opened the back door for me.

The servants that were roaming around ran towards us when they noticed Oliver at the back seat. They all had panic and fear written all over their faces same with me.

“Quick, help me take him to his room!!” I ordered and the stong looking servants carried him inside.

“You, wait..” I said to the butler that wanted to follow them inside.

“Yes miss..” He said as he bowed in obeisance.

“Call on the private doctor to get him treated!!” I ordered.

“Yes miss.” He said and was about to leave when I called him back again.

“Also, prepare a bowl of cold water and a rag for me.” He stared at me in confusion but he didn’t refute.

He bowed his head one more time before he went on the errand. I went inside the mansion and walked into his room. I saw him laying on the bed. Blood was still oozing out of his body uncontrollably.

I took off my uniform jacket and placed it on his deepest wound while applying pressure on it. I touched his face again and noticed that his fever had increased.

Little by little, fears started seeping into my body. What if something goes wrong while he’s at home? Did I make a big mistake by not taking him to the hospital? If something happens to him here, I’ll be the one to be blamed because I was the one that made the decision.

I prayed fervently within me, something that I’ve never done before for him to get well. He can’t die in my arms. I was still applying pressure on his wounds when the doors burst open and the butler walked in carrying a bowl of water and a rag with him.

“The doctor said he’ll be here within thirty minutes.” He announced as he placed the bowl on the table beside the bed.

I stopped applying pressure on his wounds and took off his top. I grimaced slightly when I saw the amount of cuts on his body. It was as if a maniac did this to him.

I mean, which human in his right mind would cut someone this much and deep. Doesn’t he or she have some conscience??

“What the hell happened to him??” I heard the butler ask but I didn’t reply and he didn’t ask again. I took the rag and dipped it into the cold water before I used it to clean his bloody face and body.

After that, I placed the cold rag on his forehead so as to reduce his fever. A few minutes later, the door opened again and a middle aged man walked in. He was holding a box.

“Good day miss.” He greeted while I stared at him in confusion.

“He’s Richard, the doctor I called.” The butler said.

“Oh.. welcome.” I greeted as I stood up from the bed.

“Thank you..” The doctor answered as he walked closer to the bed.

I gave him some space and stood at the edge of the room so he would be able to do his job well. After checking his body for sometime, he walked to where I was.

“You must be Adrian’s new wife.” He said as he scrutinized me from up to down.

“Yes, I am. So can you save him?” I asked, breathlessly.

“I can but I’ll need something first.”

“Anything, if you can guarantee to save him.” I answered.

“He’s lost a lot of blood, we need to get someone with the same blood group with him so I can resume the treatment but it would be very hard to do so since it’s already late and most hospitals would be too reluctant to give out blood bags.” He explained.

“What blood group is he??” I asked.

“O negative.” He answered.

“I’m O negative too. You can use my blood.” I said to him without thinking twice.

“No, I can’t do that. I don’t know if your body is strong enough to donate to him as he’s lost a lot of blood.”

“Just use mine. I’ll bare the consequences.” I urged.

“I’m so sorry Miss but I can’t without taking any…”

“Do you want him to die? You know that I can get you arrested if something bad happens to him. He is slowly slipping away and I’m giving you the go ahead to save him but you’re refusing me!!” I was already getting really mad and frustrated at this point.

“It isn’t like that. I just need to…’

“And I’m telling you that you don’t need anything. You know the family that he’s from. You will loose your license and everything that you’ve worked hard to achieve if he doesn’t survive this night.” I warned.

He kept quiet the moment I said that and finally agreed with my request.

“Just so you know, if anything goes wrong, don’t forget that you were the one that gave me the order.” He warned.

“No need to be wary. I know what I signed up for.” I answered. He nodded his head and walked back to where Oliver was laying while I followed closely behind him.

“Sit on that chair.” He ordered. I sat down on it while he came closer to me and pierced a needle that was connected to some pipe-like wires on my hand.

That way, he was able to draw put some of my blood into the blood bag then, he connected another needle into Oliver. Slowly and slowly, I started to get really tired and weak.

Before I knew it, my eyes gave up and and I went unconscious.
