Chapter 27 (Tesoro)
Priya’s tears streamed down her cheeks as Priyank gently kissed them away, savouring their taste.
“You know how good you taste, even your tears are delicious, and your blood, even more so,” he murmured.
Priya’s head throbbed with pain, and she cried out, “Ahhhhhh!!!!! Ahhhhhhh!!!!”
Priyank, taken aback by her sudden outburst, asked, “What happened? Why are you shouting like that? You led me here, and now you’re shouting. What’s wrong?”
Priya, through her tears, pleaded, “My head is pounding. I need Mother Mary. Take me to her. Ahhhhh! Ahhhhh! Do something. I can’t bear the pain. Take me somewhere. I’ll die if this continues.”
Priyank, visibly distressed by her suffering, immediately called for a doctor.
“I need you to bring a doctor here now. I need it within ten minutes,” he demanded.
After ending the call, he went to Priya, who was still crying and in pain, and tried to comfort her, holding her close and soothing her.
“Shhh!!! It’s going to be fine, Angel. Don’t cry. It will pass soon,” he reassured her.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Through her tears, Priya implored, “Please do something. It’s so painful. I can’t bear it. It’s blasting my head. Please, save me, Priyank.”
Priyank began massaging her head, trying to alleviate her pain, feeling her agony as if it were his own. He knew he was the cause of her distress, and her pleas tore at his heart.
A knock at the door interrupted their anguish.
“Sir, the doctor is here,” a voice called out.
“Come in quickly,” Priyank responded. The doctor entered and approached them, surprised by Priyank’s concern for Priya’s well-being, a stark contrast to his usual indifference to his own injuries.
“Please help!!!!!!”Priya, in a fit of anger, cried out for help.
Priyank, who was usually unafraid of taking drastic measures, held Priya protectively, realising for the first time how vulnerable she could be.
“Fanculo Edward. Come fast ” he commanded the doctor in Italian, a language he often resorted to in moments of distress.
“Y…es”, Edward, understanding the urgency in Priyank’s tone, hurried to assist.
{Fanculo Edward; F**uck you Edward}
“Don’t touch me”,
As Edward tried to examine Priya, she resisted his touch and lashed out at him.
Priyank restrained her and whispered in her ear, “Non osare Tesoro,” trying to calm her down. Priya continued to struggle.
{ Non osare Tesoro; Don’t you dare Darling}
“Please calm down”, Edward, exasperated, urged her to cooperate for her own well-being,”She needs anaesthesia”.
“Tell me what I’m paying you for? If you can’t even diagnose a simple headache, how did you earn your degree?” he questioned.
“I can’t do anything, we need to do some tests, for now it’s better if she rests under the influence of medicine”,
“Damn you, Edward. I’ll deal with you later. Just give her whatever she needs, because if she doesn’t stop screaming in the next few minutes or I’ll empty my bullets into your head,” Priyank threatened. Edward, unfazed, tried to calm Priya, who was still resisting his efforts. “Stop moving. If you keep this up, the injection will only hurt you more,” he urged.
Priya’s eyes widened in fear at the sight of the injection, “You… can’t… give me this,” she stammered.
“He’s just trying to help. Stop moving, Tesoro. It’s just an injection.”
{Tesoro; Darling}
“I don’t need your help; just leave me, you idiot,” Priya screamed, with the pain coursing through her veins.
“Stay still, or this injection will hurt even more, Priya. Calm your tantrums down. You sought help, and this is what you got,” Priyank said, firmly holding her in place.
“It’ll be quick, no pain,” Edward assured, not wanting to further provoke Priyank.
Having been best friends with Priyank since childhood, Edward understood him better than anyone. Despite Priyank’s dangerous nature, anger transformed him into something else entirely.
“Do it now; no need for more words,” Priyank ordered, glaring intensely.
“Of course, I’m doing it,” Edward replied, carefully injecting the medicine into Priya’s veins after cleaning the area.
“I hate you all! I hope you all die!” Priya cried out in agony as the medicine flowed through her veins.
Unable to move due to Priyank’s tight hold, Priya felt exhausted and powerless.
“Yeah, I know. Shhh… Sleep now, sweetheart,” Priyank whispered, gently stroking her head, disregarding her words.
Edward pulled the needle out, shocked to see his friend pampering the girl like a child. Witnessing Priyank speak to someone in this manner was more surprising than he could fathom.
“I don’t want to sleep,” Priya murmured in a half-conscious state.
“Then close your eyes. You don’t have to sleep,” Priyank replied raspily, his tone carrying a hint of reassurance.
“Wow, am I seeing the only person I know right?” Edward questioned in confusion.
This entire situation was more intriguing than it was shocking.
As Priya gradually succumbed to the effects of the medicine, her protests faded into quiet murmurs. Priyank continued to cradle her, his fierce demeanour softening into a protective stance.
Edward, still bewildered by the unexpected turn of events, watched as Priyank whispered comforting words to Priya, his care for her evident despite his usual tough exterior.
“I never thought I’d see the day when Priyank would play nurse,” Edward mused, breaking the tense silence.
Priyank shot him a stern look, his gaze warning Edward not to make light of the situation.
Priya, now in a somewhat tranquil state, seemed to be floating on the border between consciousness and sleep. Priyank carefully laid her down, ensuring she was comfortable.
“What’s going on, Priyank? Who is this girl,” Edward inquired, unable to comprehend the depth of Priyank’s involvement.
“I don’t think I need to reply to you,” Priyank raised his eyebrows.
“You are indeed in need of a reply from me. Don’t forget, I am your one and only partner in crimes,” Edward smiled, taking a deep breath.
With the situation now seemingly under control, he felt a sense of relief. The unfolding drama had taken its toll, and he was grateful it didn’t escalate further, preventing a potential heart attack for him . He is definitely not made for facing this Priyank .
“Is that your licence?”
