It wasn't just a room but a small blood bank. There were cabinets filled with the bottle of blood, each one of them containing my blood.
He labelled them with the dates he filled them with my blood.
My legs trembled as I walked closer to the rack holding the bottles of blood. My hands were shivering as I hesitantly picked one out of them to read the date mentioned on it.
I felt a chill run down my spine as I held the bottle of blood, staring at the date labeled on it. It was from a time when I had been out with friends, completely unaware that Nolan had been secretly taking my blood.
I only remembered I had lost my consciousness for no reason and when I opened my eyes, I was feeling weak and dizzy. It turned out, it was Nolan’s scheme to steal the blood from my body.
My mind reeled as I looked around the room, taking in the sheer number of bottles filled with my blood. What was Nolan planning to do with all of this? Mia didn't need all of them. Why must he go so overboard to build a whole blood bank in his home?
I felt a wave of fear wash over me as I realized the extent of Nolan's obsession. What kind of person does this? What kind of monster collects someone's blood in such quantities?
I clenched my fists angrily, my mind filled with anger and disgust towards the person I had only love in my heart.
At one moment, I wanted to destroy all the blood he had stored for his sweetheart, but at the other moment, I felt hesitant to waste a single drop out of it.
Those were my blood that I had built in my body. My mother had died because my father couldn't arrange the blood for her on time.
My heart and mind got divided into two and I could not decide. In the end, I left the room cold and terrific as I walked out.
Nolan didn't return the whole night. Next morning he only left me a message.
[Sorry, Got some urgent work and couldn't inform you on time. I’m on a business trip, Bella and won't be returning before two weeks.]
[These two weeks, take good care of yourself. Don't forget you are going to lose blood after fifteen days. So, eat well, Bella.]
I laughed in sarcasm, seeing how he forgot to inform me about his departure but always remembered the date of sucking blood from my body.
I wonder if having a vampire husband would have been a worse fate for me or having Nolan.
I knew I had to get out of there, to escape from Nolan's grasp. But, I had someone in my belly to look after. I had to think about it as well.
My baby was innocent. I couldn't discard it just because his father didn't want it.
“Don't worry, baby! Your mama is alive and she won't let anything happen to you.” I said to my baby.
As long as I don't lose my blood, my baby would be safe in my womb. I could conceive it and bring it to the world.
This was the only good news I got in the last two days. Since I didn't have any disease Nolan scared me with, I didn't need to worry about my child’s safety.
I just needed to not let Nolan steal my blood anymore. With that thought, I began packing my luggage as I planned to leave before Nolan's return.
I knew I had to act fast, to get out of there before it was too late.
While I was packing my luggage, I received a call from my maternity center. They had to tell me something and asked me to visit the centre.
“Okay, Doctor. I’ll be right there in a few minutes.” I said as I hung up the call.
I drove the car to the maternity centre, my mind wondering what could have gone wrong with my report that the Doctor called me instantly. My heart was racing while I was waiting for the elevator to open.
However, my mouth hung open in shock as soon as the elevator opened, making me freeze in my position.
My gaze fell on a couple, interlocked in a passionate kiss.
They were Nolan and Mia, kissing each other fearlessly.
As soon as the elevator stopped and they parted their lips, their eyes fell on me. Mia’s expression was unreadable, but Nolan appeared to be in a deep shock, his eyes resembling guilt and the fear of being caught.
“Bella, is it you?” Mia was the first one to break the silence between us, “What are you doing in the maternity centre?”
Mia’s words pulled Nolan back to his senses. He immediately walked out of the elevator. He reached out to hold my hands, saying, “Bella, it's not what it seems like. Let me explain to you.”
“There is nothing to explain, Nolan.” I said, my voice firm, “Let me ease your heart, Nolan. Whatever you two were doing inside, I just don't care.”
Nolan was taken aback with my response. He hadn't seen it coming. However, I turned to leave, leaving Nolan and Mia in a daze.
