ALEX’S POV
I had to leave the room. I was scared I would hurt Eva if I stayed there any longer.
My blood boiled when I heard Eva talking about drinking the potion. I had died a thousand deaths every day watching her life ebb slowly. Here she was, ready to risk her life in the blink of an eye.
I continued walking aimlessly through the palace, then the garden, just trying to let out some steam. Suddenly my feet came to a halt. What if Eva tried to drink the potion while I was not with her.
EVA’S POV“Where are we going, Alex?” I asked trying to peek at the destination shown on the Google map. “Don’t cheat, Eva. Don’t ruin my surprise…” Alex said steering the car. “Alright… alright… You can at least tell me if I will like this place…” I said shrugging my shoulders.“I don’t know, Eva. It isn’t exactly the kind of place you like.”“Then, why are we going there?
ALEX’S POV“Ahhh!!! No!! Please… Alex… ambulance…” Eva’s piercing cry woke me at the dead of the night. She was doubled over with pain."Are you alright?" I asked caressing her head."Do I look alright? Call the damned ambulance." She screamed grasping her abdomen.“F***!” I said jumping off my bed and picked up the phone. Tring…tring…tring…
EVA's POVMy legs were turned into jelly. I wanted to scream but my lips were sealed. My limbs shook like a leaf in the storm. My clothes stuck to my body drenched in sweat. I wanted to shut my eyes but the horrifying scene rendered my eyelids motionless. I tried in vain to calm my heartbeat lest it drew the hooded creature’s attention towards me. No words in the world could describe
ALEX's POVI was delighted when Susie called. It had been a while since I had talked to her.I greeted her cheerfully, “Hello, Susie. Long time no call.”“Alex……Alex, please come quickly to the El Rosa memorial hospital. Philip……..he is……very critical.” Then I heard her heart-rending sobs.The impact of the news was so intense that my phone dropped from my hands and crac
EVA's POVI went to the kitchen and washed the dishes. Then I cleaned up our house and watered the plants yet it was only 1:30. Alex should have reached the hospital by now but why didn’t he call? Maybe he was busy talking to the doctor ar bringing medicines. I took the phone in my hands and dialed his number but he didn’t pick up. I didn’t want to overreact but I couldn’t help feeling worried. Why hadn&rsquo
ALEX's POVI was so glad that Eva had stayed back at home but then she showed up at the hospital suddenly. On top of that, she went with Susie to meet Philip. Why didn’t she understand that it wasn’t safe for her?I felt my blood boil with frustration, not at Eva but my helplessness to prevent this situation.If Susie hadn’t requested I would never have let Eva go to meet Philip. I followed behind them anxiously. Despite the robot's warning, she started walking towards Philip. This
EVA'S POV“Why didn’t Alex come with us?” I asked as soon as we reached home.“He has some work,” Aaron said vaguely.I tried calling Alex but he didn’t pick up the call. I tried to distract myself by talking to Aunt Linda but my thoughts kept going back to Alex.I wondered where he might have gone. Until a while ago, he was behaving as if he wouldn’t leave my side even for a moment. Then what happened to him suddenly?
ALEX'S POVI exhaled forcefully once outside, trying to clear my lungs of the dust that I had inhaled. I never thought that a place could become so dusty. And Eeks! Those cobwebs. I made a mental note to get the house deep cleaned as soon as possible.While we were walking towards the gate I saw golden light. I strained my eyes to get a better view. I saw a vague figure for a moment but then it vanished. I had a feeling that I had seen it before. I couldn’t recall when and where but I was certain I had seen something similar before too.
