After about five minutes, he was sure the bleeding had stopped.
He went in the bathroom and got her a towel.
" Can you walk."
" Hmmmm i think so..." She tried to walk but the pain had numbed her leg. Nigel carried her without a warning into the bathroom.
" He placed her on the chair that had become a useful tool in her bathroom.
" Am sorry." He said
" Hmmmm, why?"
" Sorry for this..."
He removed her top like it was the most natural thing for the both of them... giving Samantha no room to protest. She had just woken up and had no bra on yet. He thought there was but now that, he seen her bare chest, he felt embarrassed...
Samantha gulped. Nigel could see, she was uncomfortable so he took her bath towel and covered her up.
Lord knows, He had not wanted to fall in love with her. He had only loved Heather in his life. But lord knows, he had. As he stood there, looking at Samantha wrapped up in her bath towel, and all sorts of things went through his head.
He looked steadily at her face, she looked fresh and young and very beautiful. He thought he had never seen anyone so beautiful. He cleaned her up and carried her back to her room and sat her on the couch.
Samantha was quietly. She hated being treated like a child and that's how he was treating her.
" But why can't I tell him I don't like him doing all this?"
" I'll be leaving now... I'll ask Lisa to come and help you make the bed."
" Ok..."
He bent down and kissed Samantha on the cheek and walked out.
Her breath fastened, hands trembled, heart raced so violently, she felt like it would easily come out of her chest.
" Why are you doing this to me, you are my heart, stop making me into a stupid person, he can't love you."She said with her hand on her chest.
*********
It was around 9.a.m when Dr Nigel reached his parents' home.
His father was still at home when he got there.
" Morning baby?" his mother greeted him.
" Morning." he answered not looking her way.
She looked at him walking hastily upstairs, until he wasn't visible anymore. She knew, he blamed her for her father's actions that time. If she had said no or tried to stop his father, Dustin would still be alive.
" It was murder." he had told them when he woke up from his heart transplant surgery and their relationship was strained from then on.
She regretted it.
Dustin too was someone's son, his family had missed him, probably still waiting for his return. The Miller family knew of his death but will never let the Wiltons know where he is buried, that was the family secret and it had to remain that way.
When Dr Nigel got to his father's bedroom, he was preparing to go for work.
One look at his son told him, it wasn't Thanos. Mostly when Thanos took over, It was hard for the other personalities to take over, he would stay for months and some times would alternate at his free will, but now it wasn't even a month and Nigel is back, he felt disappointed.
" Morning son?"
" No, let's not play father and son am not interested. The reason am here is to tell you, whatever you are planning, nip it in the bud. Especially if it concerns Samantha."
" What are you saying son? am not planning anything, you are being crazy." he looked at his son like he had said the most absurd thing.
Dr Nigel chuckled sarcastically.
" Am my father's son, crazy or not, you won't get what you want. what you got from your wife is enough...No more! I'll make sure of that."
" Bastard am your father, how can you be so disrespectful..."
" When did you become my father? was it when you had me and Dustin kidnapped?"
Clara Miller who had followed her son and listened in on their conversation, with eyes dramatically opened, clasped a hand on her mouth.
Lean Miller's face changed, he was petrified.
" He knew, it was me? no he is just guessing." he told himself.
" Don't play cheap mindgames with me, you can only win that many." Nigel told him.
He walked out of his father's room and said nothing to his mother who looked scared out of her mind.
" Why did you do it?" he heard his mother say to his father.
" It's not true, he is just making things up honey."
" Nigel can never lie about such a thing. I stay with you all this time, how can i not know am dining with the devil himself."
" Honey..."
" Don't touch me, pack your things and leave."
" Clara..."
"I can only take this much from you, You have ruined my life and family. I should have listened to my parents when they told me I was making the biggest mistake of my life with you."
Lean Miller had never seen his wife like this, she had always been submissive, talked less. When he told her to get pregnant for him and stop working, she did. When he told her the board belittled him because he did not have shares, she gave him 20 percent of hers. But today, he wasn't going to slither through this one.
