My Dominating Apollo

PRESENT

“Simon, Please,” I yelled but he chose to ignore and dragged me out of the hospital. I didn’t expect him to come here, I thought he would be coming in the evening and I decided to talk to him and convince him somehow but he surprised me. I could understand his urgency but I would never ever go with him, I hate him, I hate him from the bottom of my heart. I would never do the same mistake twice, I trusted him once and in return, all I got was heart break and pain, I will not do that again.

He dragged me towards his car and opened the door, “Get in!” he said releasing my hand, I glanced at the seat and looked back at him, “Simon! Please listen to me,” I said with my pleading eyes,

Please listen, goddamn it… I must convince him anyway, I have too… think of something Lydia! Think! Think…. yes! I will tell him and make him believe that I will come with him and ask him to wait for me in my house… of course, I won’t go back home, I will stay in a hotel for this night and think of something. At least I will get time to think about ways to escape from him and this situation.

“Don’t make me say it again, Lydia!” he said while gritting his teeth, his words shattered my idea.

Shit! Think of something… fast!

“Please, just once Listen to me, Simon!” I said and tears rushed to my eyes when I sensed he’s not going to listen to whatever I say.

His eyes were hard and there was no trance on his face which could tell me that I have a chance to convince him, he grabbed my arm in a very painful manner, digging his nails into my skin, I hissed in pain, “Listen to me very carefully, you bitch! If you don’t get in, I will have to do things which you never imagined, be a good girl and get in,” he threatened, tears rolled down my eyes.

I felt defeated, there’s no way I can escape from this man, he’s taking me back to that hell hole from where I could never come back.

“Excuse me,” I heard someone say from behind of Simon, he turned back, removing his hand from me.

“Yes,” He replied,

And when My eyes landed on the person standing in front of Simon, I took a deep breath,

please just save me from him, please Romulus.

“Is there any problem?” he asked looking at me and moving his eyes to Simon,

“No,” Simon replied,

Romulus’s eyes moved to me, I tried to give him hints that I need to be saved from this man, “Okay” he replied to Simon and turned around.

No, don’t go please, don’t go! I screamed inside but he didn’t stop,

“Lydia,” Simon warned while rising his eye brow up, I gulped and turned around in defeat. No one can save me from this psycho.

I was about to get inside the car but his voice stopped me, “Actually…” I turned around and saw Romulus walking to us,

“Lydia, Clarissa is asking for you, you’re needed,” he said stopping in front of us,

I stepped ahead but stopped in my tracks when Simon put his hand in front of me, “She’s not coming,” Simon said,

“Can I ask why?” Romulus asked, putting his hands in his pants pockets,This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Simon was getting irritated by Romulus, I could sense it through his body language, he glared at Romulus and before Simon could answer his question Romulus cut him off by saying, “Whatever it is, It can wait…” he looked at me and extended his hand towards me, “Lydia!” he said, before Simon can stop me I took his hand and moved to him.

He led me towards the entrance while putting his hand in the small of my back, I felt secured and relieved that he saved me from Simon and I didn’t look back because I know he would be glaring at us, but the thought of him waiting in my house scared me. I must go and face him even though I avoid him for today I must face him some other day, he’s not going to leave. I know him too damn well, he’s not the person to give up too easily.

As Romulus took me to the VIP waiting room and made me sit an empty chair, he sat beside me, “Who was that?” he asked, I looked at him and was surprised to see the worry in his eyes but he was quick to cover it up, is it really worry that I saw in his eyes? for me?

“Someone from my past,” I replied and looked away from him.

“oh…” he said and there was a gap, he didn’t say anything and kept quiet, I could feel his eyes on me but I tried not to look at him because if I do, he may ask me more questions about Simon and I don’t wanna talk about him or anything related to my past. I don’t want to remember anything about him and my past, if I do then those bitter memories will haunt me and I can’t get hold of myself anymore.

As all these were running in my mind, Romulus phone started ringing, “Excuse me,” he said and walked out.

Thank god! He got a call or else it would be difficult for me to sit here, beside him in awkward silence.

CLARISSA’S POV:-

The date on the page was the day I joined, I searched for my name in the list of the patient’s names and my eyes caught my name in the middle. As I moved my eyes from my name to the person’s name who admitted me, my breathing hitched and everything around me stopped.

“Romulus Villin?” I whispered, he saved me that day? That means he knew me before I knew him and still, he didn’t tell me that was him.

Now that I know it’s him, I must thank him. I thought and looked at the nurse, “Thank you so much for helping me,” I said, she smiled and closed the book and kept it in its place before leaving.

he saved me from that accident and from Cyrus that day, I owe him a lot for helping me all this time, how can these two brothers be so different, one is a psycho… not Apollo but Cyrus is a psycho and on the other hand, Romulus, is so kind and helping guy.

I’m being intrigued by this Villin’s family day by day.

I turned around and began walking towards the waiting hall, “I hope he’s here,” I muttered to myself, after that accident, I tried to remember the person’s face but I couldn’t I don’t know why but I always felt that he was somewhere near to me but I just ignored it.

Apollo has taken my complete attention and I forgot about it, but Romulus knew that it was me, the girl he saved that day but he kept quiet for all these days. He should have told me or could have said that he knew me like this but he didn’t bother to tell me.

Maybe he didn’t care, my subconscious said,

Oh please, if he didn’t care he wouldn’t have saved me from Cyrus, he’s a kind man, maybe he doesn’t like to tell that he was the one who saved me. Maybe he was the kind of man who helps people and hides it.

Maybe! My subconscious replied,

“I don’t know” came a male voice and stopped me in my tracks,

Who’s that? I turned and slowly stepped towards the empty corridor, I stood behind the wall and saw Romulus standing near the window, his back was to me and he had his phone to his ear and his left hand was in his pants pocket.

“He won’t come!” he said to the person on the phone.

Who’s he talking to and who won’t come? Questions raised in my mind!

“I can’t promise that,” He replied and quietly listened to the other person for a while,

“I will try to bring him there but I will not force him,” he replied and again kept quiet.

With each second passing by I was growing curious, who is he talking about?

“Don’t say that, Mother!” he said,

Mother?
