Chapter 61: 61

Aaron POV continued

"Did you do this to him so that he dies and you take his place?"

"Tell me you bastard what the hell did you do to him!!!" I could no longer feel like living like this. My shoulder feels so damn heavy. I could no longer feel like breathing.

I thought it has been so long and I can finally breathe. I thought, now that I am finally able to find her, I can finally breathe in peace but then why am I in so much pain as if my heart is being ripped? It is too suffocating for me.

"Tell me!!!"

"The other day you tried to kill him right?"

"You held him by his collar and kept on hitting him on the wall."

"Tell me what you do to him?"

"Tell me !!!

"Tell me!!"

"Why are you so freaking jealous of him?"

"Tell me!!"

His voice kept on ringing in my ear but my body froze. I could hear nurses and doctors kept on gathering around me and him. All are trying to stop him but he isn’t letting go of my shirt. The voice kept getting louder piercing through my patience level but I’m controlling.

I can see the one I saw the other day was standing behind him but he is looking down as if he is the one who brought him up and now he is not moving out of the guilt he is holding for me.

"Tell me!!!"

He continued until a slap landed on my face making me bleed just like the years ago he did to me. My eyes filled with tears. Maybe this is the second time I experienced this and both times started with the same. James, it’s always him. Even though now he is not even looking at me.

Aren’t I his son as well then why so much change in his behaviour as I m no one? Why? I want to know but at this time my body is not reacting even the way I want. My lips were shivering but I wanted to say just like I used to ask when I was a child.

I still remember there was a time when I came from school and saw James patting his head while I was standing far from him while the tears kept on flowing out of my eyes. I didn’t stop hiccuping for a long time but it went on for a long time. That was the first time he made me feel like an orphan.

Yeah, I did feel crazy as if it was tearing my heart.

Minute crossed he didn’t stop slapping in front of all. He didn’t stop there but he pulled me by holding my hand. Even though he never touched me in his life ever unless he raised his hand on me.

"I will let you fulfil your wish."

"You wanted to be treated like my child right? Then you should get a discipline class from me as well."

He took me inside a dark room. I don’t know how he came to know there is a dark room in the hospital but the room was so freaking dark that it was freaking me out. There is no ventilation as well but only the air and light can come through the main door.

Soon I was standing inside the room when someone came and handed him a whip, making my entire body shiver.

"Now you should feel obliged to be my soon", he said and started whipping my body from top to bottom.

I can’t say if his words hurt me more or those whips but everywhere I feel pain and only pain. My tears became dry while in this dark I could no longer see myself. This is the first time in my entire life I wanted to beg for my death.

It is painful.

It is extremely painful for me to breathe.

I thought I needed to be here.

I thought if I could be here when I don’t know what he is going through it will make him happy but what about me? Don’t I matter at all?

If I matter then why am I getting beaten under dad while he is always living under flower petals? Why?

My throat is trembling.

My throat feels dry.

My words are decreasing on his whips.

I became nothing but a living dead in this position.

"Sir, it’s enough. He will die", who is saying.

"Ok", as I closed my eyes I could see his back leaving the place and someone coming toward me to hold me.

That was the last thing I saw.

But all I keep wanting to repeat is sorry.

Sorry, for being born in this world.

Sorry, for making you all feel I’m worthless.

I’m sorry.

Next day

Author’s POV

"James, can you see?"

"It’s dad"

"Tell me what you are feeling?"

"Tell me, is there any discomfort in your body!!!"

"Tell me, I will shift you to a better hospital!!"

Morris king kept on asking to see James opening his eyes.

"You know how you made me worried."

"I told you to stay with me, why do you have to come here and entangle with that bastard who doesn’t even value you."

He kept on saying.

"Let’s go home", he said.

"How did I end up here?" James asked.

"You don’t know what happened?" Morris asked.

"I do remember."

"Then tell me what happened?" he asked while patting his shoulder.

James stayed silently.

Meanwhile, the doctor entered the room.

"There is nothing to worry about her situation", he said while checking his condition.

"What do you mean there is nothing to worry about?" Morris became violent.

"Sir, you are simply overreacting. There is nothing serious about being with him. He was fully stressed out which is why he felt anxious and felt trouble while breathing but nothing else", he said.

"So no one hit him or poisoned him?" he asked again.

"No sir, there is no poison", the doctor said while Morris started looking down.

"What do you mean by Poison dad?" James asked.

"There is nothing for you to know", he declined but in the meantime, the person who kept an eye on James came forward and said, "Sir, I would like to resign from my post."

"Resign?" James asked.

"Resign? Why?" Morris asked.

"Yeah because I don’t think there is any life-threatening case to Mr James so it’s all useless", he said.

"How do you know his life is not at risk?" Morris asked.

"Because you ended the life-threatening situation last night", he said while James started panicking.

"Dad, what is he saying? What have you done?" James asked even though his fingers were trembling.

"What are you saying?" Morris started glaring at him.

"Yes sir, didn’t you whip the guy to death last night? You forgot that he wasn’t even breathing?" James looked disbelieving toward Morris.

"What the hell are you sprouting? Did I pay you for this?" he started shouting.

"I only stated the truth," he said and was about to walk away when James stopped him.

"Tell me who are you talking about?"

He stayed silent.

"I asked whom are you talking about? It needed to know", he shouted.

"It’s the same guy who hit you the other day in the middle of the road", as he said he dropped his hand which he was holding on to Morris.

He hurried and removed the syringes from his hand and tried to move from the place but the more he tried to get up his legs made him fall on his face. All tried to give him support but he didn’t listen when he saw the presence of Chloe outside of the room while her tears were coming out of her eyes.

"Chloe?" he asked.

"I thought you liked your brother?" she said.

"But I didn’t know you wanted him dead."

"I.....

James wasn’t able to fulfil his sentence.

"I thought whatever you did to me was because of him."

" I thought all you wanted was to get your brother’s love but I didn’t know you were such a monster who wanted his brother to die."

"What did I even expect from you?"

"I could have called your dad last night instead of him if I had a single idea he would get killed. I would have left you here to die if I knew it would take someone else’s life. No no you could never have died because you’re only sleeping, nothing else."

"Chloe", he called out her name.

"Yeah Chloe, I know my name very well so don’t ever take my name from now on. You are nothing but trash for me."

"Not calling you trash would be even less but you are a killer."

"You made a fool out of me back then wearing this sympathetic face and now you suck on his blood in the same way. You are a monster."

James fell to the floor while he could see Chloe walking from the place crying.
