Tricked to his Bed

Alessa pov:

The knock came again, very intensely and hastily. I was frightened by it.

I wiped my tears off. And put on glasses to cover my swollen eyes. The door barged open before I could stand up.

Nurse Mary's face pale like she saw a ghost.. “Doctor Allessa! The…th..the..baby one of them is bleeding from the stomach!”

My heart broke in pieces. Without a second thought, I sprinted toward the delivery room. fear ran through my veins, I was exhausted, even the ache in my chest was killing me.

I pushed the door open and froze.

Adrian My husband was standing there. His eyes met mine but he immediately looked away. So I forced a smile and walked forward. My chest and inside of me was burning so much that it hurt my cheek when I smiled.

The mother of the twins, Hana , is his so-called cousin.…she was crying, clinging to his arm. “She has killed my child! She cut my baby on purpose! That evil woman!! she’s evil!” she pointed at me.

I felt my throat tighten. My eyes brimmed, but I swallowed the tears. I couldn’t let them see me break, not now, not ever!!

“Um..I..I..need to check the baby!” I said, moving toward the incubator, hands shaking, every instinct screaming to save this tiny life first.

The mother shoved my hands away. “Don’t touch my baby! If you wanted to kill her, just admit it! You monster! Are you this jealous because I had a baby for Adrain. You married him three years ago and couldn't have a baby. Now I have one!! you want to push all your hatred on an innocent life!!. ”

“Adrian! Call the police! Arrest her!” She screamed, sobbing uncontrollably.

“Sir,” Nurse Mary said firmly, stepping between Hana and me. “Control your wife. What is she saying? I think she is depressed as a first time mother.. Let Doctor Alessa examine the baby first. ”

“I need a new doctor!” Hana shrieked, thrashing against Adrian’s hold.

I barely had time to breathe before another Doctor barged in

His eyes were full of venom as he stared at me.“How stupid of you!” he snapped. “You actually hurt a baby? You have been acting like you know everything, and now you have caused a huge problem!”

Every word he said felt like a knife. I opened my mouth to explain, to defend myself, but the chaos swallowed me whole.

He walked up to the baby and checked her. Then he turned to us. “Allessa, you should be ashamed of yourself. You allowed your jealousy to cloud your judgement as a Doctor. How could you be so confused as to hurt a baby while operating? Even though she just had a baby for your husband you shouldn't hurt the baby? This is clearly a rookie mistake. I think you purposely did this.” He shook his head.

Nurse Mary looked horrified as she moved backward from me. “You mean she is Dr Allesa's husband's mistress?. And she had a child for him? Why isn't she ashamed? What is going on here?” Mary points at her.

Hana lays her head on Adrain's shoulder sobbing.. “Adrain, how could she do this? We all agreed I will be the surrogate mother. How could she hurt your baby? Now she is telling everyone that I am your mistress? Does she want to ruin my life?”

“Adrain, what is she saying? What surrogacy!!?” I asked, in a loud voice.

He rushed to me and whispered to my ears. “Allessa, we can forget about what happened today. Just accept whatever she says. You wouldn't want to sleep in a cell tonight? I promise I will make it up to you. Just trust me and accept what she wants.” He said, and shifted away from me. He walked to her and placed his hands on her shoulders. I was left behind while feeling like I was poured cold water.

Then I spoke. “I have evidence to prove my innocence. I believe that alone will show how meticulous I was in that surgery.

Adrain rushed to me and grabbed my arm. He half yelled in my ears. “Dont you understand me? I say you should accept whatever she says. That I will console her. What are you doing?”

I yanked his hands off. “Don’t fucking touch me. You dirty pig!!”

He stared at me with venom in his eyes. Like I was the villain that caused every misfortune in his life.”

“Allessa. Don't be ungrateful!!" He said pointing at me.

Dr Hanik moved away from the baby. He said with a smile. “Well we also have evidence of your crime towards the poor baby.”

I sneered. “Evidence? Call in my OR Assistant. He will verify the baby was okay when we left. I had no idea where the injury was coming from. And the OR has CCTV that alone can prove my innocence.”

He turned to the door. “Come in Lucas.” He smirked at me and I knew something had gone wrong.

Lucas walked in, he was avoiding my gaze. Then he said, “Before I left the OR, Dr Alessa was checking the baby and she still held her scalpel. I was the first that left the OR to inform the father of the children's birth. Later outside the OR I saw Dr Alessa holding a bloody scalpel.” My OR Assistant said, his eyes fixed on Hanik.

“You heard that? She cut the baby when she found out it was her husband. She is just a vicious woman!!” Hanik sighs. While Hana broke into tears, placing her head on my husband's shoulders.

I chuckled. “Everyone in this hospital knows I have the habit of holding my scalpel after surgery. Who doesn't know that in this hospital? How can you claim I use it on the baby!!? When none of you saw it!!!” I turned to Lucas.

“Why are you doing this Lucas!!? We are partners!!” I screamed out, and everyone moved away from me like I was going crazy.

Dr Hanik points at me terrified..“Just look at her? Alessa, are you sure you are mentally okay? I believe you don't fit to be a Doctor.” Hanik shook his head.

Hana wipes her tears. “Dr Hanik, you shouldn't say that about Alessa. She must have gone crazy and did that. I am sure she doesn't mean to hurt my baby? I am not angry about this. But I am worried for Adrain. Adrain wanted this baby so bad. Now she has hurt one of them.”

I looked at them suspiciously.. “So you even know his name? Did you guys plan all this show?” I asked, my eyes on her blazing fire. I was trying my best, restraining myself from attacking them.

She turned to Adrain. “No..no..I don't know him. T..The..um....." she points at the nurse. "she..called his name. So I recalled.”

The door barged open and everyone turned. I saw lots of people outside. They were all watching the commotion. The door was opened wider by a policeman and followed suit by Kai- Adrian's younger brother. He was notoriously known as the delinquent of the family. He was much taller than the policeman and every man in this room. His blue hair and his dandy dressing gives off a thug vibe.

He looked around until his eyes got to me. He showed no expression in his gaze.

Kai walked to his brother. “Brother Adrian. I called the police as you requested." He said with a huge smirk.
