Zara's POV
I couldn't hold myself stronger and my body slipped down landing on my knees on the cold terrace floor. Why was fate so cruel to me?
I shouted, "No matter how cruel you want to be with me, be but not with my mother!" That was my painful cry to the universe.
I said to the universe but was I getting any reply or word of assurance back from the universe. Unfortunately, no!
My mother's fate was in my hands now. If I obey every f*****g word of Carla, she would continue paying my mother's hospital bills. Receiving the best treatment was what my mother was in utmost need of and for that I was ready to do anything.
In order to save my mother, I accepted my evil step-mom's proposal of marrying the man I didn't know or I had ever seen, and now it was time to obey my step-mom's next command put forth by my eviler husband and his family and that was to have s*x with him and bear his baby.
Wait! s*x! This reminded me of something. Last night I had s*x with a stranger. f**k! I didn't use emergency birth control. s**t! I should be consuming emergency contraceptives. I couldn't be pregnant with my one-night-stand's baby.
I hurriedly rose from the terrace floor and composed myself. After straightening my dress and setting my hair, I wiped off my tears and went out of the terrace. The first thing I should be doing before departing my second home was to take contraceptives.
Hurriedly climbing down from the stairs, I took the elevator. There were several pharmacies and I chose the one that would be less crowded because I wasn't f*****g ready to be seen by anyone known purchasing contraceptives.
I took the elevator to the third last floor. Luckily it was just me in the elevator. The doors opened and as expected this floor wasn't a busy one. I walked up the long passage dotting several rooms before taking a left turn.
Here was my destination. I was standing in front of the pharmacy. I took slow and cautious steps inside. There were a few people but none of them were staff members. Might be the relatives of the patients hospitalized here.
Since I was wearing my doctor coat, I knew nobody would stop me from going around and grabbing whatever I needed. Scanning every direction, I proceeded ahead to grab the contraceptives.
I was almost there but I hurriedly averted my hand when I heard a cranky voice from behind.
"Zara!"
Of course, I had been used to that high-pitched, shrill voice.
That voice belonged to my colleague, Tania. I just hoped that she didn't see me picking the contraceptives.
I quickly turned around and tried to appear as normal as possible.
With an amused expression, Tania approached me and asked, "Sweetie, what are you doing here?"
Why the hell was she so interested in nosing my personal and professional life?! Gosh!
She said, squinting her eyes, "As far as I remember you don't have any duty on this floor. Aren't you assigned to be on the initial floors of this hospital, Zara, darling? Then what brings you here?"
Before I could tell anything, she said, "Oh, let me guess." She hushed herself down and taunted me in a whisper, "Wait! Are you carrying out someone else's duty?"
From that mysterious glint in her eyes, I knew she was deliberately unnerving me but I maintained my calm and responded, "I am here to collect some medicines."
Tilting her head, Tania asked, "Oh really?! Then where's the prescription?"
I knew normally all the prescriptions are kept on the front desk. I pretended, "Ah! I placed my prescription on the desk. Let me get it."
Walking past Tania I picked the top most prescription. I stood there for a few seconds but Tania was not f*****g ready to move from her place. It looked like I would have to put on an act for a longer time. I pretended to collect some medicines as mentioned in the prescription.
Tania tailed behind me and I wondered why? But she spilled that out by herself.
"Zara, hear me out carefully." She said gravely.
From her low tone and seriousness, it looked like she had something important to discuss.
I hummed in response.
Tania continued, "Zara, please don't inform anyone about last night's duty. Nobody should know that you were working in my place and that you have taken up my duty."
I wanted to get rid of Tania so that I could collect the contraceptives.
"I won't," I said before going to the billing counter.
The clerk prepared the bill and I decided to just deliver these medicines where they were required before heading out.
After delivering the medicines to one of the rooms on the seventh floor, I took the elevator yet again. By now I decided to quit purchasing the contraceptive pills from any of the pharmacies in the hospital. There were chances I could invite unwanted eyeballs.
It was 10:30 PM already. I should be heading back to my husband's home in order to fulfil my purpose of getting pregnant.
I took a walk to the chemist that was located in the vicinity of the hospital.
"Hello, Ma'am, how shall I help you?" The sweet chemist asked me politely.
I put on a fake smile and said calmly, "I want contraceptive pills."
The chemist nodded and after getting the pills from the shelf behind her, she passed the pack to me and said, "Here it is."
"Thank you. How much for this?" I asked.
I quickly made a p*****t and thanked her. I opened the packet and took one pill at the very moment before putting the pack inside my purse.
I went out of the chemist store to find my cab already waiting for me. I sat inside and off I went for my new home. I was already nervous. How would I face my husband? This was going to be my first time seeing him.
I closed my eyes and decided that tonight I would just clear things with my nominal billionaire husband about the contract I was having with my step-mother for my mother's sake.
Xander's POV
Wow! The doctor who stitched my wounds did a good job. She definitely had good medical skills. From now on I should be having her as my personal doctor so that I would have my injuries taken good care of and I would heal faster.
Though she recommended that I should stay in the hospital tonight and take a good rest, I decided not to. I had an important thing to do tonight. I had plans to visit and see my human wife for the first time.
I came to know that she wasn't f*****g present in my bed on our wedding night. She was not in her first home either. Then where the f**k did my newly wed bride go on her first wedding night? She should have been with her newly wed husband but she had to be bad enough to go missing on wedding night and show up straight on the second night. Shouldn't she be waiting for her husband in bed, all set to obey his every command and be ready to be f****d?
Tonight would be very difficult for you Zara. I would make sure to give her the most evil punishment for what she did on her wedding night. Be prepared, my human Luna because you should be knowing that I am not just a billionaire but also the strongest Alpha of the werewolf world, Alpha Xander Walters.
