(Author’s POV)
After Janet departed, Alaric looked back at Myra’s room for few moments and then made his way towards the doctor’s office.
He entered the room leisurely and took a seat casually, his black leather shoes clicking with each step. Crossing his leg, Alaric sat in an imposing manner as he played with his ring on the index finger and asked, lifting his eyes dangerously, "Did you do what I told you to do, hmm?"
The male doctor from earlier was supposed to be off duty. But here he was, past midnight, sitting in his office, intimidated by Alaric’s commanding presence. He was too afraid to meet his eyes as he fumbled with his words initially, "M~r. Everests~, I have ...... I have taken the blood sample as per your orders. Here it is."
With scurried steps, he brought a small silver suit case, placed it in front on Alaric on the glass table, loaded the passcode and unlatched it at once. He stepped back and said, "Two blood samples of Ms. Miracle." He stole glances at Alaric’s face, as the latter showed a satisfied smile. He pressed his lips tight and stood erect.
Alaric handed him a cheque worth a million with his signature on it, warning him, his tone filled with danger, "Nothing about what conspired should be leaked. Not about Myra’s stay here or about the blood samples you have collected. Otherwise, you will have to bear consequences. You should probably know that."
The doctor nodded like a wobble head figure, trembling from his threat. He knew how powerful the Everests family was. All of Kimberg knew about it. So, he was in no position to refuse his orders or betray him. He was too afraid to cross Alaric.
Alaric closed the case, got up and walked out with it, without even glancing at the doctor who was standing like a statue.
He made his way to his car and kept the suitcase in his car’s trunk, for safe keeping. There was another small bag beside it, which contained Myra hair sample. Alaric had plucked some when she was still unconscious.
This matter was a secret to all. He wasn’t going to tell his parents or Myra, not even his trusted aide, Janet would know about it.
He wanted to make sure what Myra’s true identity was. Whether she was the child who got abducted with Nora or not. That was probably his only shot at Myra’s origin.
Myra who was oblivious to his plan, was lying in her bed with her eyes wide open. Her sleep was gone out of the window as she kept looking at the door every now and then with an odd feeling in her heart.
Her mind swirled to the instance where the inked guy tried to sexually assault her but the time had frozen.
At that moment, she thought it was all a dream. But now, when she is alone and thinking hard about it, the absurdity of that situation made her flinch. ’How is that possible? Just how?’ She remembered every detail vividly, her hair stood on ends as she recalled it all.
This has never happened before. Or maybe it had.
When she was in middle school, she and Nora used to get bullied for not having biological parents. The bullies used to tease them, calling them charity case and unwanted girls. She used to confront their bullies and beat them up badly.
But one time, about nine to ten students from their school ganged up on them with baseball bats. She could easily handle two or three people at once. But, nine was a bit too much.
At that time, Nora’s parents used to torture Nora mentally and the later was too depressed to defend herself. So, it was all on Myra to keep herself and Nora safe.
It was in a dark maze like alleyway, where they cornered both the girls as Myra shielded Nora with her body on the line.
They all charged on them, trying to teach them a lesson.
Myra readied herself, when something unusual happened. The guy who was just inches closer to her stopped, his hand raised, lifting a black baseball bat. A girl behind who was running behind him with a stone in her hand, froze too, her hair scattered wildly in the air.
Myra looked at everyone and nobody moved. They were not even breathing.
She then turned around to find Nora completely frozen on her spot just like others. She was curled in a corner.
Without thinking too much and wasting any more time, Myra piggy backed Nora and carried her out of the spot.
