2 Sad smile

Alexa took her shoes off and stopped into the bath tub. She reminisced on the life she lived with her parents, how happy there were. She smiled, a sad lonely smile. She took the blade in her hands and slit her wrists.

Zachary Woods sat in his study, he felt he had been a bit too soft on Alexa, after all this was the 12th time she had tried to run away. He walked to her room. He heard the water of the bath and decided to ask her to come out. He knocked on her door but there was no answer. He knocked a few more times and waited a few seconds. He started to worry and pushed the door open.

"Alexa!" he shouted. He ran toward the bath and immediately took her out of the water and placed her on the bed, grabbing a towel and wrapped it around her her wrists. He took out his phone to call the family doctor.

"Dr. Lee Alexa slit her wrists please hurry".

The panic in his voice did not escape Dr. Lee.

"5 minutes", Dr. Lee said.

Zach had a hospital room in his mansion, it had everything a normal hospital had and maybe even more.

When Alexa eventually woke up after undergoing a blood transfusion Zach was sitting waiting for her.

Alexa opened her eyes. She thought she had already died so when she woke up to see Zach sitting next to her she immediately laughed shaking her head as tear filled her eyes.

"Even in death you haunt me, I never thought I would go to hell but here I am huh?!" she said looking unhappy and disappointed as she stared at him.

Zachary's face immediately darkened.

"You think I would let you die", his cold voice made the room temperature drop.

Alexa didn't say anything as Zach continued.

" You can try to kill yourself a million times, as long as I have breathe in my body you will be kept safe and sound in my mansion". He finished.

Alexa looked down at her hands as she laid on the hospital bed.

"Am I going to be punished?" her voice was soft and delicate, as if in any second it would break. But Zach felt no sympathy for her. He only felt the anger and pain from the thought of losing her.

"You will sleep with me from tonight onwards, you obviously can't be left alone, when I go to work I have assigned a maid that will follow you everywhere", he said.

Alexa stiffend. What little privacy and freedom she did have was immediately taken away, was she stupid to ret and take her life. But she didn't think he would save her. She thought she would finally be free, and rejoin her family in the afterlife. She was sadly mistaken.

After another 2 days in the hospital room, Dr Lee gave her permission to leave. Her wrists where busy healing and her transfusions were complete.

Zach helped her into the master bedroom, all her clothes and supplies were already in the room.

Alexa hadn't spoken much after she woke. Zach noticed her unusual silence. She would mostly nodd or shake her head rather than talk and she didn't say anything or even look at him when he moved her to the bed.

He felt a little uncomfortable but kept his usual domineering and cold aura.

Alexa felt extremely depressed. She had no point to her life. When Zach or her maid, Ann, spoke to her she she would hardly ever speak. She felt as if the hope and life she had before was slowly being sucked out of her and it was an overwhelming and exhausting feeling.
