Chapter 22:Mafia’s possession
"I thought it would take at least one more week for her to finally lose it but I guessed I must have underestimated you Alex" Romano said as he stared at Jacqueline who laid unconscious on the bed with pity.
Alexander had brought her to a room that was closer to his, right after she passed out in his arms. He had just wanted to play with her a bit but who knew she was a weakling who was hiding under a brave cover?
Alexander sighed as he watched her and he ran his hands through his black locks. The doctor sat beside her as he examined her.
"You've been examining her for 15 friggin minutes, tell us what's wrong with her" Romano demanded.
The doctor sighed and he got up from the bed and he stood, facing the two ruthless mafias. Although Alexander appeared calm, Dr Santiago feared him most because he knew his calmness was just a facade and the storm was approaching soon.
"She was just a bit traumatized by everything and the anxiety and fear she carried within her created enough fatigue to make her pass out. Normally, patients like these must have undergone childhood trauma, something must have triggered the trauma which also resulted in her fainting. She also has a slight fever but I prescribed some drugs for her and I will have one of my workers deliver it here as soon as possible" Santiago said and Romano nodded while Alexander stared at him blankly.
Romano offered to escort the doctor out of the mansion and Santiago was more than glad as he didn't want to be anywhere around Alexander, who knew when his head would snap and he would make him end up in a condition that was far more worse than that
girl's condition. He didn't need a soothsayer to tell him it was Alexander who had triggered the poor girl's trauma. Romano led Santiago out of the room, leaving Alexander alone with Jacqueline who was still unconscious on the bed.
Alexander slowly walked over to her and he sat next to her on the bed. Santiago's words left him in deep thought, trauma? Had he unknowingly triggered her trauma? And what the hell was she traumatized by? It must have been the darkness, he had gently wrapped his hand around her neck and he hadn't strangled her hard. Alexander groaned in frustration.
One thing was sure though, he preferred those cute lips of hers moving and saying things that amused him. Alexander didn't know why, but he spent 3 more hours sitting next to her and wishing she would wake up.
Penelope made her way into the room and she stood a few feets away from the bed. Her warm black eyes stared at the unconscious Jacqueline, with worry in them. What was more shocking for her was the fact that Alexander was seated next to her. Romano had told her he had been with her for the past 3 hours. She knew Alexander well and he never cared for anyone aside from her and Romano, so what was going on with him?
"Alexander" Penelope called, discarding the honorifics, just like he had been demanding from her.
"Don't worry granny, it's still me and i haven't been possessed by some witch" Alexander said with a hint of humor laced in his voice.
He got up from the bed and walked towards Penelope.
"You're overly worried about her, should I question it?" Alexander asked and Penelope smiled.
"She's a cheerful and nice person, it may sound unbelievable but I've really bonded with her during the little time we've spent together. Not to mention, she has successfully brought out numerous emotions I've never seen you display during the 3 years we've spent together. Jacqueline is a very special girl, Alexander, I don't want any harm coming to her" Penelope said.
Alexander chuckled, "We'll see about that" he said and then, he left the room.
Penelope slowly walked towards Jacqueline and she sat next to her on the bed. She carefully adjusted the duvet so it could cover her properly. She stroked her dark silk hair lovingly.
"I preferred when you were faking an illness you little brat" She said with a small smile on her face. She stayed with her for an hour more before she finally left the room and she gently shut the door afterwards.
……..
A little girl hid under the bed of the small room in the darkness. She was only 5 and just like always, her mother had gone for night work, leaving the little girl alone in the darkness. She squeezed the little stuffed toy close to her chest and her heart skipped a beat as she heard the loud thunder in the sky.
…….
Jacqueline shivered underneath the thick duvet and the sound of the loud thunder finally woke her up from her unconscious state. Her eyes ravaged her surroundings and she gasped when she discovered she wasn't in her room.
She tried remembering what happened before she fell unconscious but it only made her head ache more. She carefully pushed the duvet away from her body and her eyes widened when she saw she wasn't wearing her maid's uniform. She was wearing a black baggy shirt and black shorts, it looked like male clothes.
Her blood froze when she thought about the possibility of Alexander changing her clothes, if he had changed her clothes then that means he had also seen her nakedness.
Jacqueline heard approaching footsteps from outside the door and she quickly covered herself with the duvet while pretending to still be unconscious.
Alexander twisted the door handle and he entered the room. Jacqueline's heart raced more when she heard Alexander approaching her. Even with her eyes closed, she could tell it was him. His daunting scent filled her nostrils making her feel dizzy. This man has seen her nakedness and she doesn't know how she was going to face him again.
Alexander stared at Jacqueline with a mischievous smirk on his lips. He sat next to her on the bed.
"Still unconscious huh?" Alexander whispered but Jacqueline could hear him clearly as he was closer to her.
"Time to change your clothes again" he said and Jacqueline's eyes instantly flew open. She glared at him and if it was possible, she would have burned him to crisp with her eyes.
