View MoreCarly's POVI groggily opened my eyes, only to shut them again as the sun's rays pierced through my skull like a dagger. And I groaned in pain as the throbbing headache threatened to split my head in two. I slowly reopened my eyes, blinking lazily as I struggled to take in my surroundings. Then I realized that I was in an unfamiliar room, and panic began to creep its way into me. My heart racing as I threw frantic glances around the room, trying to remember how I ended up in there.“So you are awake." I heard a low, smooth voice, and immediately turned to the direction where the voice came from. And my eyes landed on a shirtless man sitting crossed-leg on a single chair at a corner. His wet dark hair gleaming in the the sunlight, and his perching dark eyes were locked on mine as if monitoring me from running away. He looked like a Greek god sitting on his throne, he was effortlessly handsome. My eyebrows drew into a confused frown as his thin lips curled into a smile.“You slept lon
Steven's Pov My mouth curled into an amusing smile as I watched the lady gulped down glasses of liquor. I had tried to stop her but she told me that she needed some liquor to quench the sadness and pain she was feeling inside her. And now, she was hammered.Everything about her captivated me, apart from her being beautiful and pretty, she had a carefree spirit. I had never felt such a strong attraction to any woman like this before, I was totally drawn into her. After rescuing her from her clingy boyfriend, or whoever he was. We had ended up in at the hotel bar. Without a word, she ordered a drink, gulped down the whole glass, and then ordered another. And in a short period of time she had finished two bottles.I wasn't the type of man to pry into other's business, yet I couldn't help the curiosity that was eating me up. What had driven her to drink like this? “Why the binge drinking?" I asked, staring at her intently. “What happened?" I added softly. I didn't know why I was act
Steven's Pov I watched silently as the woman across from me spoke tirelessly, the anger and frustration I was feeling inside me put me on the edge of losing my patient but I forced myself to calm down. If only I hadn't agreed to my grandfather's request to meet this blind date he had set up for me, I wouldn't be stuck here. But I'd had no choice, I had to meet up with this talkative woman, whose non-stop questions were grating on my nerves. “You don't have a girlfriend, right?" She asked, making me to sigh in annoyance. I didn't know why he had to go this far to force me to marry, despite knowing how my parents' marriage turned out like. That's why I'd always been leery of marriage - I didn't want to end up like my father. It wasn't because I didn't like woman, even on the contrary I love women, but only for their bodies. Which was why I hooked up with different girls every night to fill my desire. Which made the every news house took interest in me and named me the country play
Carly’s POVI stared curiously at the gray-haired doctor sitting behind the desk at my opposite, his wrinkled brows furrowed into a deep frown. His gaze fixed intently on the medical report in his hands, and he scratched his forehead awkwardly, releasing a heavy sigh which made a feeling of anxiousness settled in me. I swallowed hard as the anxiousness in me transformed into a great fear, eating me up slowly. I had come to the hospital to have a check-up when I felt that I was sick, really sick. And the symptoms weren’t similar with any ordinary other illness, it was related to the same ones my mother had experienced before her passing. And since then I had become scared, scared that I might have inherited her disease. I had prayed that it wouldn’t be what I had hoped , because it wouldn’t do me anything good, going earlier and leaving the ones...“ According to the tests we constructed, and the result is in this paper.
