Luke's POV
6:30 am back at the house.
Suddenly, my body tenses itself awake as the obnoxious buzzing and beeping of ,my phone continuously goes off, forcing me to roll over and shut the damn thing off.
I sit up in bed tiredly and look down at my phone. It's Cody calling.
"What do you want Cody?" I answer annoyed that he's probably woken me up just to tell me about a new girlfriend or something.
I hear him grumble just as annoyed back to me before yelling through the phone, "Luke, get your ass over to the hospital. It's Maria!"
My grasp on the phone loses as I hear the words escape his mouth and my stomach drops to my feet. Fuck, she's gotten herself hurt!
"I'll be there soon!" I quickly tell him before throwing the covers off of my naked body and begin pulling clothes onto me in a rush.
When I got my clothes on I looked at Bethany who was naked in mine and Maria's bed. "Get the fuck out," I spit, my eyes focusing on her sleepy face.
She wakes up confused but gets out of bed anyways. "W-where are you going?" She asks before cautiously removing herself from my bed.
"Doesn't matter," I say and grab my wallet from the dresser, stuffing it into my pocket. "Get house keeping to change the bedding and clean this room from top to bottom before I get back."
Then, I left.
-------------------------------------------------------
It only takes me five minutes to get to my hospital. (Speeding red lights of course.) I walk into the hospital, looking all around for any of my men, but I see none in sight. That's until a nurse approaches me, looking as nervous as ever.
"Are you here for Maria, Mr. Sanchez?" She questions.
"I am." I nod. "Can you direct me to her room please?" She nods too and begins leading me down a hallway to the left of us.
"Room 28." She points ahead to a room that's being guarded by my right hand man, Cody. "She's just got out of surgery a few hours ago. It seems she was almost beaten to death on the street by a junkie."
My heart drops, again. Fuck. No! I am responsible for this! I decided to hook up with fuckin' Bethany on Maria and I's wedding night. I was the one who had threatened her to leave.
I step into the room, giving Cody a small nod of recognition before I enter. And when I do, I see Maria laying there on the bed helplessly, her head wrapped up, bandages all over her, a monitor hooked up to her and an IV in her right arm filled with meds on end to help her with the pain. Pain she's quite obviously going through giving the discomfort in her body language.
I take a seat on a chair and pull it up to the bed, taking Maria's hand in mine. "I'm so fucking sorry, Maria. I regret it, I regret sleeping with her on our wedding night and laying my hands on you the way I did. Please, Maria, just please wake up." I whisper to her. I can't have Cody thinking I'm a wuss now.
Suddenly, I feel her hand move in mine and watch as her eyes slowly open, beginning to look around. She looks over to me finally with an irritated glare.
"How are you feeling?" I push, getting closer to her.
She takes her hand away, "What the hell are you doing here? Shouldn't you be off cheating on me right now?!" I look over her and see she's practically trembling with anger; her fists balled up and hatred in her piercing green eyes.
"Woah, woah, woah. You need to cal-."
Before I could finish my sentence she got out of bed, her foot stomping down on the ground so loudly that I'm silenced. "I need to calm down!? You were that hit me and cheated on me!" She raises her fist in the air and lets in come slamming down weakly onto my chest. It makes her even more furious when I don't respond in any sort of pain and just block the rest of her flailing limps.
I wrap my arms around her and hold her against me, forcing her to stop her fighting. "Let go of me you fucking bastard!" She screams trying to kick away.
"Not till you calm down." I growl back in frustration.
"Let go of me!" she screams again, trying to stomp on my feet and kick me with all her force, but it's nothing.
"Would you just shut your damn mouth for once and calm down?!" I remark and hold her against me even tighter.
"Fuck you.." she spits back. Her struggles somehow become weaker with just that sentence.
She keeps struggling and struggling to get out of my grasp but then, she just altogether stops.
I sigh out relieved. "Are you finally going to behave now?"
Silence...
I turn her around to face me, and when I did, her face was a pale, snow white and rivers of tears were streaming down her beautiful face. "Maria, talk to me." I beg, gently shaking her awake.
She closes her eyes, blinking back the tears forming. "I-it really hurts Luke...." she cries out, gripping onto my arm with one hand and the other to her stomach. I pick her up gently and carry her over to the bed and set her down gently. She groans out as I put her down.
I lift her gown and see the distinct bruising to her lower abdomen and bandaging from her surgery. "Who the fuck did this to you?!" I cry in enragement.
She flips her gown back down. "You didn't seem to care when it happened well you were fucking Blondie, so why would you care now?" She turns around on the bed still holding her stomach.
"Maria, just tell me who did this to yo-."
Before I could finish my sentence, a doctor comes rushing in to check on Maria. I glance over to Maria and notice she has the call bell in her hand.
That little.....
"Mr Sanchez, I'm going to give your wife her some more medicine to help with the pain, Alright?" the one doctor announces to me as though it was my own body he was putting it into. Would make more sense telling her that than me, but anyways.
I nod and keep a steady on Maria and that sly face of hers.
Just as the doctor is about to leave after giving her some meds and checking up in the wound, I speak up. "I am going to bring her home today."
The doctor gives a casual thumbs up as though it' no big deal. Good thing dude knows that I'm his boss or that could've ended badly.
"What!? No you are not bringing me home back to "that" place." Maria screams and looks at the doctor and I both back and forth with angry tears streaming down her face.
"Well, it's not up for discussion. You're coming home with me today wether you like it or not." The words come out much harsher than expected.
"I'm eighteen! I'll make my own damn decisions." She yells back at me.
I shake my head. "I'm your husband, you're mine."
Just as the doctor is about to leave for the second time, I say, "sedate her, and that's an order."
The doctor nods again and calls in two nurses in to hold her down because as soon as the words left me mouth, she was practically jumping out of her bed and towards the door. Both the doctor and I, even the nurses keep her still as possible as he injects the medication into her IV.
Maria's POVI can hear people talking but I can't wake up, I'm stuck. I scream and scream but still no light, just darkness everywhere I look.After, what feels like hours, I finally awake with a gasp sitting straight up in bed. I look around and see I'm back at this place, the place I hate the most. The room looks like it's been cleaned, and there is brand new bedding and sheets on the bed.Ha, so Mr. Heartless does care? Now that would’ve been hard to guess.I slowly get out of bed trying not to cause any more pain to myself then there already is. I'm hooked up to an IV and have bandaging around my face and stomach as well. I go to look at the date on my phone but it's gone. What the hell? How long have I been asleep? Then, with instinct, I scurry over to the door and try to open it.Locked.I take a deep breath and back up. "It's all going to be okay,” I whisper to myself then gradually, I start making my way over to the bathr
Maria's POVA week later...It's been a week since everything has happened. And I was right; he was going to take his pain away by screaming at me.I've resigned to sleeping on the couch for now on because I do plan on getting out of here and going to med school. Planning just takes a bit of time, especially when you're trapped in a mansion over-seen by guards and your evil "husband".I've just woken up from yet another awful sleep on the couch and am now heading into the kitchen for some cereal. It's like this everyday: wake up, get myself some cheerios and coffee,When I enter the kitchen Luke is standing at the island, his lean muscular body leaning against the island, talking on the phone. From what it sounds like, it must be his father.Heading into the kitchen, I begin to open and close the cabinets a few times as I try and search for a bowl. But, even as quiet as I try to be, I guess Luke still gets pissed off.He whips around
3 days later...Maria's POVA few days have passed and both Luke and I still aren't quite friendly with each other even after that whole snowstorm storm thing.I still sleep on the couch because I'm pretty sure he's still sleeping with other women since he leaves at 8 each night and comes home at 1. Then, there's moaning.I head into the foyer and notice both my parents standing at the door speaking with Luke."Ahh Maria." My mother says as though she's trying to cover up the fact she was likely just talking about me. "Why don't you get us some drinks and meet us in the dinning hall alright, Dear?" She tells with that fake-ass smile.I return the smile and head into the kitchen to get the drinks.After retrieving some wine and cider, setting them on the table, I try and go ahead and head back to my own business to let them all speak.But my mother speaks up once again, "Sit down, Maria.." she orders, tapping her fingers on the
Warning: Explicit and sexual content in this chapter. Read at your own risk.Luke's POVI put the car into park in front of my club and get out of my Range Rover. My bouncers instantly open the door for me. As I enter, I see Bethany and Cody at the bar talking.God, they flirt so much.I walk up to them and order a scotch. "So, which hotel are you two hooking up in tonight?" I say as I swish my drink around in the glass.Bethany rolls her eyes and kisses Cody."We wanted to stay at your hotel tonight. Maybe get the penthouse." Cody tells me as he takes Bethany's hand and I laugh.I chuckle "No can do, Sir. The wife and I are staying there tonight."They both frown. "Why didn't you bring Maria?" Bethany asks curiously, as though she was planning on becoming friends with her, even after her and I were caught in bed together."Doesn't behave properly," I say and finish my drink, then order another."She's your wife,
Luke's POVI watch peacefully Maria as she rests her head on my bare chest.God, I can't get over how beautiful she is.I stroked her dark brown, soft hair as she drifted off into an awaited sleep.I will protect her at all costs, and if any man even dare think about her, I will claw his eyes out with his own fingernails.And with that, I fall asleep.Maria's POVThe next morning...I wake up and sit up straight up in bed, my body immediately tensing with sheer panic and regret.As soon as I even move myself to get off of the bed, there's abrupt pain to my lower region as I do so. I look over beside me and see Luke laying there, asleep.We're both naked. What have I done..I scramble out of bed and quickly pull on my black lingerie and a hoodie, then scurry down to the kitchen.Without a second of a doubt and my mind still racing from what I just witnessed, I begin to prepare some breakfast in a hast
I wake up in daze the next morning; the first thing I see is Luke up and packing his bag furiously, his clothes flying every which direction."What's going on?" I ask, sitting up and stretching my arms. I look down at the bed and smile, remembering how we fell asleep last night.His eyes dart into mine, then to my nakedness at which he shakes his head at. "We are leaving today. Pack your bags I'm leaving in an hour with, or without you." He grunts as he goes to the bathroom.I sigh and get out of bed, pulling my towel from the floor and covering myself. "0 to 100 real fast." I shake my head in sadness. Why is he like this?I go to the closet and pull all the new clothes I bought off the hangers and stuff them into a suitcase. Luke walks into the closet and sees what I'm doing."What the hell do you think you're doing?!" He yells out. His foot steps quickly follow after, matching the anger in his voice.I roll my eyes. "I'm packing.""
2 months later..Maria's POVIt's been 2 months, 2 months of this. And It's been nothing but hell and burning hands.I've been cleaning the house every day for 2 MONTHS! Every day I get up at 4 am and start to clean this huge ass mansion all by myself. It usually takes me up to 18 hours every day, but at the start, it took me 20 hours. So 4 hours of sleep is the maximum I get everyday.Now it's Tuesday, February 5th at 4:00 am and I'm just getting myself out of bed. Recently, I've been feeling quite Ill. Every morning I wake up and a wave of nausea hits me like a truck, sometimes leaving me puking until I'm completely empty or pass out. I don't know if I'm pregnant; I had hoped to try and find out today, but there's no way of doing that without having Luke find out.If you're wondering, no, I don't sleep in the same room as Luke anymore, I sleep in the maids quarters. I mean, I'm not complaining or anything, it's a lot nicer than I thought it to be
Maria's POVThe shock of those few words has my body completely frozen in place. I reach down and touch my belly, now feeling the obvious weight gain.I stare at the redhead doctor, with my jaw dropped."Oh god...." I gasp covering my mouth with my hand. I lean back in bed. "oh god no..."Tears started to form in my eyes and I brought my knees to my chest. How could I have let this happen? Why did I have to give into temptation and spread my legs for that son-of-a-bitch.I feel a hand reach out and brush against my skin. "Maria.. are you alright?" Luke asked putting a hand on my shoulder.I look over to him then, back to dr. Montgomery who's now talking. "Maria, I need you to lay down so we can check on your ba-,"Before she could finish the word, "baby" I get out of bed and bolt down that hall in a matter of seconds.If there was one thing I was good at, it was running. So that's what I do.I run out of the double doors
