CHAPTER NINE

Tony's POV

I woke up with a terrible headache and onn trying to adjust my sleeping position, I saw a figure lying in bed next to me. I flinched! 

Taking a proper look at the figure, since my vision was blurry, but now ok, I noticed it was a lady's body. But she seemed to be naked. 

I checked under the duvet and she was indeed as I had presumed and not just that, even I was naked. 

I tried recalling what happened here last night. 

Cindy came to my room dressed... 

Gosh!! I exclaimed as I sat up, feeling disgusted. 

Cindy actually drugged me to satisfy her selfish desires. 

I decided not to bother her so I left her to her sleep. But one thing is for sure, I can't be with her anymore. I went back to my room and locked my door. I need to take precautions.

But I still wonder how she managed to get into my house. Didn't I lock it? Who even showed her the way here? I headed to the bathroom so as to wash off the filth I was filled with after what transpired between I and Cindy.

Moments later...

I thought of going professional but I decided on teaming a navy polo with black slim jeans. I polished off the ensemble with brown leather oxford shoes. I might not be a fashion freak but I do have style. My third day at TGHC formerly known as SGHC. A knock came on my door and I opened to see Cindy, just as I thought.

 Cindy's POV

He opened the door and I stood there silent but seriously and carefully studying him. Gosh, his dress outlined his abs. I don't know what I did to gracious Lord that He made him mine. I actually came because I woke up to an empty bed. He cleared his throat jolting me out of my perverted thoughts. I still wish for another night with him.

"That is not happening." He said to my dismay. Did I mention that out loud? Well, why doesn't he want another night with me. 

"G... G... Good morning my king." I managed to greet him in stutters. I suddenly became scared. Tony seemed to be angry, and if my guess is right, then he was angry with me.

"So you think I will be happy with you for taking advantage of me?" He asked and I shrugged.

"Well, I am happy lady. You raping me was the best idea you ever came up with. And guess what, it's over between us." He said and pushed me out of his way. 

"And also, you can keep the keys of this house with you. I have taken mine." He added and walked out of the house. 

I slumped to the floor in shock. I found it hard to believe that this relationship just ended. 

IT'S OVER BETWEEN US!! The words kept ringing in my head. Tears started clouding my eyes. They fought so hard to fall freely as I was fighting so hard for them not to. I refused to believe that my Tony could do me such a thing. I refused to believe it. My heart is bleeding...

 Tony's POV

I was already at TGHC when my phone started ringing. I couldn't pick it up because of the press and media in front of the hospital. 

What is going on here? I asked myself. 

I took my phone after the ringing became persistent and answered the call.

"Sir Hartz! Sir good morning."

"I'm sorry for the early call but you have an important meeting scheduled for 10:30 today."

I gave her no response.

"Sir! Sir are you..."

"Yes I am. I will be there by 10am." I interrupted her. Not waiting for her to speak, I ended the call immediately.

I got out of the car and was walking my way into my office when a voice called out my name loudly. Before I could turn to see the caller, I was already surrounded by the press.

"Sir Hartz congratulations on your great accomplishment." One of them said. I was confused.

"I'm really sorry but..." I tried talking when a voice interrupted me. I saw a man walking his way to me as the crowd gave him way. 

No way!!! What is Mr Howells doing here? 

I was very surprised to see the mayor of Alabama in Atlanta.

"I don't think you need to bother the young man." He said and came forward to me.

"Thank you Tony. Thanks to the doctors who operated my only daughter." He added. 

I had to whisper in Doctor Ambrose's ears.

"What is going on here?" I asked him.

"Well sir, his daughter was involved in an accident and was rushed here.. We tried our best to revive her to no avail. Doctor Sophia who just graduated from the medical school was the only one that could diagnose the problem. She continued with the surgery which was successful. Well Mr Howells here, arrived Atlanta as early as possible just for his daughter. And I don't know how, but information had already leaked about the surgery." I had been listening attentively to Doctor Ambrose.

So my little bride to be did something extraordinary today huh! By the way where is she and why is she not here? 

"Sir if you are looking for her then you should go to your office. She went there and hasn't come out since then." I nodded in approval.

"Please send them away." I asked Doctor Ambrose, referring to the press. This is a hospital and patients need their, space. 

I walked up to her and there she was comfortably sleeping. I smiled and walked to the other side of the bed. I don't know for how long I stood there, admiring her. She was very tired definitely to have slept here.

I took out my phone and placed a call. I ordered for a dress to be brought to the office. I later on called the hospital receptionist to bring the dress to me as soon as it arrives.
