Chapter 5: A Cute Doctor
Off to war!
Her father had a habit of dressing impeccably and smiling through everything. There was a time when he was hurt badly. He couldn’t even get out of bed. But he had to attend a peace meeting with a rival. Her father wore his best suit even though it was uncomfortable.
Back then, she used to go with her father everywhere. She was his shadow. Worried for her father, she asked him why he must force himself for the sake of others when everyone knew how powerful he was.
’Clothes make a man, Bambina,’ he ruffled her hair. He always had the sweetest smile for her. ’They all know I am hurt. Even if they didn’t, my smile is my biggest offense. They will see my smile and know that nothing can break me. And that will create fear in their heart. They will piss their pants,’ he chuckled. ’You want my enemies to piss their pants, don’t you, Bambina?’
She took his advice to her heart. Too bad she didn’t follow it after she left her family home. But her father knew life. It took her pain to learn that.
Yes, she was hurt badly by Aiden. Maybe, she still was not above the damages he caused her.
But she will not show it to him. She didn’t want to prove anything to him. She didn’t care for him anymore. But she didn’t want him to give him the satisfaction that he affected her in any way.
"I am fine, Aiden," she smiled clutching her coat.
She forgot the pain of the open wound in her stomach. His deep-set eyes almost turned into a line. He looked sharp as always. He must have gotten a pretty good raise to wear an expensive brand of suit.
Black surely is his color. It brings out his heart.
"It has been a while. How did you find me?" she asked.
After she broke up with him three years ago, she tried her best to not cross paths with Aiden. But he found her near her residence. She was not going to trust everyone.
