Back to life

Mary sat down on the chair. Damon and Levi seemed to have been waiting for her. Mary looked at Damon who was eating. "Hey, do you want to have a movie night?" She asked taking a bite. "You have college tomorrow. No fooling around." Damon replied. "Is that a no?" She asked putting Jer finger on her lips.

"Yes. We can maybe do it sometime later." Damon said patting her head. "But-" She argued. "No buts. You should go straight to bed after dinner. It's already late. I don't want you losing any sleep." He said.

The dinner continued and afterwards Mary did as told while Damon worked on his laptop for a while before joining her.

The next morning, Mary woke up early and splashed her face with cold water. She quickly got dressed. She decided to tie her hair in 2 French braids and applied some coloured lip balm and curled her eyelashes. Her cheeks were already slightly pink. Mary then took her bag and wore her shoes.

For breakfast she had cereal and milk and then Damon dropped her off at the college. She quickly made her way to her first class which was Mathematics. Mary was sure she didn't understand a thing. Xavier seemed to have noticed that. "Do you need help?" He asked concerned. "Yeah. I don't understand a thing." She said making a sad face. "I can try to help." He said as he started explaining algebraic and quadratic expressions.

After the mathematics period, it was biology. One after another, it was finally the end of the day. Damon's new driver came by to pick her up. After reaching the penthouse, Mary threw her bag to the ground and collapsed on the white couch. Everything was dark for a moment.

It was all dark and heavy wind was blowing when Mary opened her eyes. She saw a woman with long dirty blonde hair. No matter how much Mary tried she couldn't make out the woman's face. She could see that the woman was smiling at her. A dark blue hood covered most of her forehead. She was wearing a sheer white dress and a dark blue raincoat. She put forward her hand for Mary to grab. Her hand had many scars but it was still warm. Mary took her warm hand. The woman pulled her up.

'Listen close. I don't have much time." She said moving closer to Mary. Mary wanted to ask 'Who are you?' but her mouth wouldn't open. She nodded and the woman continued. "I am Lily, Damon's close friend and Levi's mother. I need you to take Levi and give him to the Prince of country C. I don't have much time as I said before. I beg of you to take him there. The rest will happen itself." She said as if she had just read her mind. Mary nodded although very confused. Was it real or was it not?

"Promise me. Promise Me!" She yelled as things started to get dark for Mary. Mary nodded and held her hand. The next thing she heard was the beeping of the monitor. Her face was covered with a light white cotton blanket. She took it off as it was making it difficult for her to breathe.

"She is alive, doctor!" The nurse said nudging the doctor in the shoulder. "It's a miracle! Get the cardiologists and neurologist. We need to run as many tests as possible. Inform the young man." The doctor said looking at Mary as if she was seeing a ghost. It wasn't long before a small group of people wearing white coats entered the room and gathered around Mary. They started running tests while checking her vitals continuously.

Outside the hospital ward. Damon was sitting. His eyes were teary unlike ever before. He looked as handsome and attractive as ever. The nurse came out of the room and cardiologists and neurologists went in. The nurse went up to Damon and said in a low voice, "Mr Tyson, the woman she is not dead. Please come with me to fill out some forms."

Inside Mary was confused. She sat up. "Excuse me, um where am I?" She asked but the question was totally ignored by the doctor. She was told to lie down by the doctor. So she did. It didn't take long for her to realize where she was.

After a day in the hospital she was finally discharged. She was given a healthy diet plan to follow along with some nourishing herbs. The doctor weren't able yo identify what exactly happened. For about twenty minutes her heart had stopped beating and her body had gone pale. Afterwards she awoke and seemed as healthy as ever. It was unexplainable they ran quite a few tests and were hesitant to let hee go but a Mary kept insisting that she was fine. She was let go only after a day at the hospital.

The doctors recommended at least a week of bed rest as the woman had came back from death. Damon also agreed with the doctors and sent a leave application to the college stating that she won't be able to attend school for a week.

Damon made the call to Mary's college stating that she would not be able to attend college for a long period of time due to a medical emergency. When they got home. Levi immediately hugged Mary.

"Mama, I missed you." He said sniffling but Damon looked at him with his cold eyes. "Levi, be a good boy and go to your room. Your mommy's sick. She needs to rest." He said. Levi being the obedient little child he waa did so although he looked like as if he didn't want to do so.

Damon carried Mary into her bedroom and helped her lay down on the king size bed. He then picked up his phone and called Miss Linda the cook ordering hee to bring a bowl of porridge along with a glass of warm water.

"Is that for me?" Mary asked.

"Yes." He answered.

"I am not hungry." She said crossing her arms. She was clearly annoyed with Damon.

"How about I feed it to you?" He said.

"Your attractive looks don't work on me anymore. It's not going to be the same as last time." She said getting on top of him. Damon was lying on the bed with his phone in his hands and Mary was sitting on top of him.

"You're sick. You should rest." He said putting his phone away.

"I ran away from my dad, so I could be free but here am I again being controlled again. What's with all these rich men, trying to control their wives and daughters?" She said glaring into his eyes.
