The place where I vowed to never return. 

I looked all over the familiar room. I rubbed my eyes to make sleep go away completely to see if the things I was seeing in front of my eyes were true or my delusions. But even after the sleep completely vanished from my eyes I was still present in the same room. The scenario in front of my eyes remained unchanged. I looked around the room this time with a clear vision. It's still the same as when I left it. As if no one was staying here until last night. I should get out of here as soon as possible. I can't stay here anymore, not even a second more. His scent lingers in this room and it was making things hard for me. I don't even know how I came here in the first place. I remember sleeping on the hospital couch and now I'm here in a place I never wanted to return. 

Hospital! Dad! 

Panic took over me as soon as I remembered about my dad's condition. I removed the sheets away from my body and immediately the cold air of early morning touched my feet, making me shiver a bit. Ignoring it I tried to move out of the bed but I felt something stopping me from getting out of the bed. A big hand was wrapped around my waist pinning me to the bed. I moved my eyes immediately beside me as soon as I recognized whose hand was draped around me. Jack was sleeping beside me in deep sleep as if he was having this kind of sleep after so long. I looked at his sleeping face and everything from yesterday night and before came running to my mind. Even if I let him near me he won't be able to do it again ever. 

Just because I was in a vulnerable state he chose to take advantage of it and bring me here even after knowing I would never have chosen to come here in my mindful state. This thought kicked the spark of anger in me and with each passing second I knew what he had to come running to my mind. The spark in my mind was aired slowly giving birth to high hot flames of fire of anger. I gripped his hand and moved it away from me harshly as if his touch was burning even my clothed skin. My actions made him wake up in alert mode. Ignoring him I tried to stand up to get away from him and this place. I need to get out of here as soon as possible and go to the hospital to see dad. He saw me getting out of the bed but before I could stand he caught my hand. 

"Where are you going," he asked in his anxious voice. I yanked my hand away from his hold as he was not holding it tightly. I didn't answer his question and started walking towards the door with bare feet. I don't even want to spend my bit of energy answering him. As I walked out of the room I heard the fast shuffling of the sheets and he was soon behind me following me. 

"Nina, where are you going," he asked in his little panic-filled voice as he saw me walking towards the main door. Even this time I chose to not answer him but when I was about to open the door he closed it with a loud thud. He turned me and caged me between the door and his both arms resting around on either side of my head.  

"I asked you where are you going," he asked this time with his dominating voice looking straight into my eyes. I clenched my jaw and closed my eyes as I felt the hot flames of anger fishing inside me. 

"I asked you something, Nina, where the hell are you trying to go," he asked this time with the more dominating approach in his voice. It sends a chill to my body but I refuse to bend to his dominance. 

"It's none of your business now to get away from me," I said in anger and gestured to him with my angry eyes to take his hands away from me. His jaw clenched as he heard my answer. He held my gaze for a good five minutes thinking God knows what and I stared back not stepping back. He closed his eyes in frustration while taking a deep breath to calm himself down. He clenched and uncleaned his jaw several times before opening his eyes and looking at me with his predatory light brown eyes. 

"You are right, what you do is none of my business but you remember we are still connected," he said in his less dominating tone. His words made me chuckle humorlessly. 

"Everything that was connecting us was over the day I came to know the whole truth behind our marriage. So nothing is there anymore between us. Nothing is connecting us anymore so step back so I can get the hell out of here" I said in my irritated voice. I saw how his jaw clenched for a split of seconds he heard my words but it was soon replaced with a cocky look on his face. His predatory light brown eyes moved all over my face as if mocking me and this was pissing me even more and making me afraid of his changed expression. I could never judge what was lurking in his evil mind. 

"Even if you think everything is over between us in your head

We all know it's not true. I'm still your lawfully wedded husband and you are still my lawfully wedded wife" he said with the same arrogance in his tone making me clench my hands and take a deep breath. 

"And above that, the living sign of our connection is this growing child of mine in your womb so never dare to say that we don't have any connection left between us because last time I check it takes two people to break the bond, not one," he said in his arrogant voice as his predatory eyes glint in determination causing me to dig my nails in my palm. 

"Now come and eat something," he said as he took hold of my hand to walk me back into the house. His every word, his every move was getting on my nerves. I closed my eyes in frustration and breath in and out to calm myself. This Satan just won't let me live my life with little peace. 

"I'm not hungry so just stop with whatever evil is lurking in your head so I can go to the hospital to be near my dad," I said in my controlling voice while trying to get my hand out of his hold but he didn't let me take my hand out of grip. 

"Let off my hand," I said in my irritated voice as he still didn't let my hand go. 

"I don't hold this hand to just let it go like this," he said in his strong voice while looking straight in my eyes with this light brown one making my heart beat fast. 

"Now come and eat something nice then I will take you to the hospital to see your dad," he said and started me walking towards the kitchen. 

"Didn't I just say now  I'm not hungry and I will go to the hospital on my own? I don't need your assistance" I said In my unhappy voice not wanting to go with him. 

"Oh did you think I was asking you to eat something thinking you must be hungry? Then let me clear something for you, Mrs. Nina Jack Miller. Even if you are not hungry my child must be so hungry. I don't want my child to starve because of his mother's stubbornness" he said while making me sit on a chair and taking the eggs and some fruits out of the fridge, ignoring my angry gaze. I saw how the corner of his lip curled as he saw me not arguing back. 

If he thinks he has won this argument then he is wrong. I just don't have this much energy left in me to argue with him early in the morning. My swollen and cold feet have started to make me shiver and feel drained at the same time. I closed my eyes while massaging my forehead as little pain has started to develop in my forehead. He thinks he can do anything then he is wrong. Once I get out of this room I will make sure he won't come near me again. I was deep in my thoughts as I kept massaging my forehead when I felt something slip on my feet. It made me open my eyes and look at what was slipping on my feet. Jack was making me wear socks and slippers. When the hell he brought them. 

"Stop it, I will do it on my own," I said as he was about to slip another sock on my other foot. Even if I refuse to wear the socks from his hands I still wanted to wear them. My first we're soon going to turn into ice. He looked at my face then, sighing as he handed me the socks as he saw my face which was refusing to take any help from him. Taking the socks I tried to wear them but I was not able to do it. I tried again and again but I couldn't because my baby bump was getting in my way. I got irritated as in my final attempts too I failed. I have not done this in a long time, Miss. Bankers used to help me at the foundation so I never had to do it now it was getting me irritated more than ever. I heard him snickering and it made me more irritated than I was. 

"Let me do it," he said while taking the socks from my hand with that smirk on his face which I so badly wanted to wipe out with my aching hand. He slipped the socks on my feet and then slipped the slipper on ignoring my angry eyes. He stood up and started making breakfast-making me look at him with furrowed eyes as he took some eggs. 

Is he going to make breakfast on his own? Does he even know how to break eggs? 

But my question was answered as soon as he broke the eggs. He broke it very skillfully. I just kept staring at him as he prepared breakfast. He placed scrambled eggs, toast, and a plate full of fruits in front of me. Does he think I can finish all of this on my own? I just kept looking at the food on my plate thinking if it even tastes good as it's looking. My mouth water at the site of it and my stomach growled making me bite my lower lips as I duck my head. 

"Dig in. My baby is hungry, don't make my baby wait anymore," he said as he caught me staring at it. Without saying anything I dug in and started eating and surprisingly it tasted good. I eat everything. He just kept staring at me while sipping on juice. After I was done I stood up immediately to get out of this house. He too soon followed while murmuring stubborn wildcat but I ignored him and walked out of the house. He took me to the hospital and through the ride, I didn't spare him a glance. 

Dad was still unconscious. Even if a doctor told us he was out of danger I was still worried about him. Jack went to work as aunty Sam came; she even bought some clothes for me. I spent my whole day at the hospital and only left for the foundation when my aunt forced me to say I needed to rest. I went to the foundation even after aunty Sam told me to take the car I refused as I don't want anyone's help. She looked sad but I need to keep my distance from everyone. 

It was good that Jack was still in office and it was a great relief for me as I didn't want to see his face again. As soon as I reach the foundation, Miss. Bankers greeted me. She asked me how dad was and I answered her. She told me to get fresh as she will go and bring dinner. As I was going to my room I saw the door of the room beside me was open. Strange why is this room open. I remember no one staying here. And in a split of seconds, my question was answered as Satan himself walked out of the room.

What the hell he is doing here.
