"Didn't you hear me?!",she moved closer."Or are you just dumb?!"
"I...I...",no words came . Before I could think,she slapped me very hard,my head buzzed Asif it is being electrocuted!
I don't know why this always happens but, I'm grateful for it. I moved to a corner,with my knees buckling and I collapsed. I don't know how the tears managed to spill but it did.
"GET OUT!!",before I could raise my head,she hit me with a bat. Everything turned black as David's voice blurred in the background.
Just DIE!
KENDRICK POV
The guard opened the door,and I saw Cynthia's car in the compound. I rushed in only to see a fuming Cynthia glazing at something or perhaps someone in the corner.
"Cynthia!",I shouted. David was practically shaken right now staring at what was in the corner. I took long strides to reach there,only to see her crouched on the floor. Immediately,the sight churned something in my stoamch.Bruises all over her arms,face and legs. But her hair was damp with blood, signaling she got hit badly on her head. I spotted a baseball bat in Cynthia's hand.
"Cynthia!"I bent down towards Iris, breathing faintly,my heart tore at the way she looked so fragile and pale.
"Call the fucking doctor!",I screamed at David.
"I'll deal with you later",I told Cynthia, carefully I scoop Iris in my hands and went upstairs.
I removed the large t-shirt she was wearing,seeing that her wardrobe had nothing good,I took one of my tshirts and dressed her in it with her own shorts.
"Wake up,I promise you'll pay no fucking money!
Please... just wake up",her face turned paler,her breathing fainter.Her life force was draining very bad.
I approached Cynthia.
"Kenny....",she said in that disgusting sick voice of hers.
"There's no marriage again. I will not marry a murder!",I told her.
"Don't you dare! Your parents shipped us. We're engaged!"
"Well,I found a woman so get out!"
"I don't want to marry you,your parents will hear of this. I am cutting ties with your family and businesses",I said picking my phone. One call was all it takes to end her fucking life!!
"Hello My Sall ,I want to tell you your daughter did something very bad that is not forgiving with all due respect I'm proposing a deal. Either let me jail her,or cut ties with your family and businesses. I won't invest anymore in your companies. What do you say",my statement was enough to frighten him .
I heard if his approval to jail his daughter at the other end."Guards! Drag her out if my house and ensure that she is locked up in cell."
~~~~~~~~
The doctor arrived after half an hour. I directed him to Iris's room.
"Oh my...",a gasp left his lips. He immediately did checkups and necessary things before dressing her wounds and bandaging it.
He ran several tests on her,and sighed.
"She is suffering from Complex PTSD. It is very common in people who Were abused repeatedly over a long period,had neglect or no safe caregiver and grew up without stable emotional support",he said. "Also,her body is very weak. She hasn't been feeding well or taking care of her body. Do you know anyone from her past?"
The news was shocking,she always looked fun and bubbly,but now she was just very sick."No"
"I'll give you some meds,she should take it thrice a day and make sure she eats well,as for the scars and injuries,I prescribe an ointment , it'll reduce it.
Also take care of her,no stress or painful activity"
"By 30 days after she's healed she can escape death",the doctor added.
"Doctor Sam,thank you so much", after he left I sat down by her bedside and stared at her. I had no idea she suffered this much. I made situations worse by asking for her to stay here and work for me, without getting paid. I regretted how much I brought her into my life only to make matters worse. I regret my decisions.
