55. ALONE, COLD, SCARED AND TRAPPED
BRANDY’S P.O.V.
I woke up to a sponge bath the nurses were giving me yet even with them done I still smelt like smoke, still felt dirty in many places that they had not dared touch but could I blame them, I wouldn’t either if I was them.
There was no joy. There was no sadness. There were no tears. I was just an echo of what once was. All I did was blink, lying there to rot as life went on without me.
Sleep soon took me away after a few hours of blinking and even my dreams were vacant of life. Even in my dreams death clung to me, dark vacant space where I couldn’t even scream.
Pain shot through my body immensely and I embraced it because it was a relief to feel something after being numb for so long yet the pain soon turned gut wrenching.

“Miss Brandy.”I looked up from one of the books that had arrived for me a few weeks back. I had no interest in them until the doctors took me off the heavy drugs. It felt like being free after being buried alive. The color returned around me. Even the pain was appreciated. I didn’t want to go back there again even if it meant dealing with my fear, my heartbreak, my depression, and sadness. I would take that over the numbness that slowly sucked the life out of my soul.“You are going home today.”Bittersweet news. I did not know how to react. I guess, home was better than the hospital, locked in this room alone. I stared down at my bandaged leg and arm. How would I cope at home, alone, with my burns?I had seen them, they were third degree burns, horr

“I have not been in this room in years. My son had the audacity to ban me from his room, in my own house!” A distant voice came as my eyes peeled open. I turned my head, a lot of light pouring in through the window. “This has to go, we have to do it before he arrives.” It was the best sleep I have had since forever. I blinked, feeling so comfortable, so warm. “Look at these curtains. It’s a crime. Come on, call Cole, he needs to get here soon.” If only I could close my eyes again and just drift away but as I tried, it was clear sleep had left me. I peeled my eyes again, seeing the large white ceiling. The room smelt so good and a familiar scent clung to my nostrils. It was in the sheets. I looked down, seeing a large grey duvet that I wanted to snuggle in forever. It felt as if it was massaging my whole body. I was in awe. No longer did I smell of smoke. I felt clean, proper clean.“Where am I?” “Oohh dea

STORM’S P.O.V.“Sir, your arm.”I scoffed, turning away from Amar.Damon was naked, body covered in long lashes, blood seeping from the gashes created by my whip.I didn't care that my arm burned and surely bled, soaking the bandages. I didn’t mind that my burned skin was opening new wounds from me flicking my arm so aggressively.A loud angry growl escaped me as I continued whipping this scum. I wanted his skin to peel, I wanted him to writhe in pain.He heaved out and I pulled back, staring at his face which was clean of all the wounds inflicted on him.His teeth were clenched, eyes staring at me with determination.

BRANDY’S P.O.V.“So, is she the one with the dogs?”Even though we began watching this together, I was the one that kept explaining.“Yes, she is the one with the many dogs.” I said back.“You don't like dogs?”I shook my head.“Good, me too.” My mother-in-law said.In a week she had transformed the bedroom into one Storm would throw a fit over.With the rain pouring, Elizabeth’s friends canceled their brunch appointment which was why she now sat beside my bed, watching the housewives with me on my laptop.

My eyes fluttered open and for a second I just lay there, blinking.Something had woken me up yet as I lay there nothing was heard. A shiver ran down my body but I pulled the cover with my arm and closed my eyes.A door opened and my eyes shot wide open. Someone was in my room. Who was it, what did they want?I did not dare ask who it was, just waiting for the inevitable to happen so I could scream my lungs out.Feet suddenly moved across the room then way closer to the bed only to stop. I squeezed my eyes as if that would make the person go away. More feet patting, moving around the bed then a swipe of cool air as the blankets were pulled back.Wait, what?! The scream was bubbling in my chest. T

“Get a team to clean it, we won't be staying there for long, and tell Ice to make a presentation of all the land we have, residential.”I shifted only to groan out loud as pain exploded on my side. Shit, this was hell. The pills had worn off and everything was throbbing. My limbs were painfully numb, pins and needles on the entirety of them. I clenched my eyes tighter and buried myself deeper into the warm skin right by me.Warm skin? A cloud fogged my brain, making it hard to think clearly.“Hi.”A voice.I knew that voice.Oohh God, I knew that voice! I wanted to lift my head up but failed so I buried myself deep into h

“How about this time?”Storm stepped away and I stared at the large mirror. My frown couldn’t get deeper. I thought by refusing to hire a makeup artist then finally failing to do my makeup would persuade Storm from taking me with him. Tell me why he sat down and watched tutorials for an hour before attempting my eyebrows.“No.” I gasped, dropping my shoulders and frowning even deeper. “ It’s horrible.”“Brandy!” He glared at me and I wanted so bad to be so pissed at him but I couldn’t. The Storm I had been getting every single day for the past eight months I would die for. My husband was my best friend. He was my everything.“I don’t want to go, I don’t want to go!&rdquo

I knew how it went but why did it hurt so much this time. As soon as Storm and I approached the door, I let go of his hand. He walked on faster and got in before me into the room. I turned, and walked away from him. When I was far enough I turned around to search for him. Maybe this time he would be looking for me and scold me for leaving his side but he didn’t. I watched as he nodded and greeted those he thought worthy of his greeting. He continued marching on until he was before his father. They talked a little and by then it was obvious that he knew I wasn't by his side or anywhere near him anymore. He didn’t even search for me in the crowd with his eyes. I swallowed, knowing my job was to disappear from sight and not make a mockery of him. The large room was buzzing and as I searched, I did not know a single person there. Some I recognized but most were just strangers to me. I couldn’t stand in a corner all night long. My leg was already giving in notice that it would rais
