Snow.

Carol who had been held down by Divean's secretary started yelling as she tried to pull away from the hold.

"Why did you save her...she needs to die " she cried.

Divean ignored her, as he took off his coat draping it on Snow's shoulders.

The security had arrived taking Carol and her men.

"Let's go," he said to her as he carried her into his arms.

Carol watched in tears as Divean walked off with Snow in his arms, her face hidden away in his chest.

.....

Divean could feel his heart still pounding from what just happened. She had almost died and it was all his fault for not protecting her.

He had promised to but failed. Almost losing her.

He looked down at her, her eyes were closed. Moving faster he moved through the crowd of curious staff out of the office to the elevator with the help of his guards.

Snow opened her eyes when she felt him put her down. They had reached the car, he was gazing down at her.

His hand moved pushing her hair from her forehead aside, revealing the cut on it.

"Looks bad " he frowned.

Snow sniffed, "Will it leave a scar?"

"I don't think so" he let out.

She breathed, "Good "

"Constance am sorry," he said.

"For what?".

"Putting you in danger, I should have been..." she stopped him.

"You saved me...again. That is more than enough for me " she said closing her eyes.

He didn't say another word and neither did she.

When they got to the hospital, Snow's wounds were attended to.

Divean didn't leave her side, holding her hand through it all.

"She is still shaken up but no serious injuries. Let her rest for now " said the doctor.

When he left Divean for Snow asking if she was fine.

She nodded, "Mmm, can we go home now," she said instead.

....

"Am glad nothing happened to her but you need to be more careful ".

Divean nodded listening to his mother. Snow had finally fallen asleep after a warm bath and food. Which they had to forcefully feed her.

"I know mother, but she is a tough one. Almost getting killed on her first day at work " he muttered.

"What happened to Carol?" she asked.

"They arrested her, and after all this, I believe I don't need to investigate her problem at work," he said.

"So she did steal them...I can't believe it " his mother frowned.

"What I can't believe is that Cassandra was involved too " he let out.

"We should have thought about it after what she did that day ".

Divean got up, "Let me check on Alia " and walked away.

His mother sighed watching him leave.

"When will you move on from that scar my dear son "

....

"Just make sure you do your job or else there is no more need for you " Divean spoke on the phone.

He hangs up taking a deep breath. It had been a long day, one he had not seen coming.

Hearing his bedroom door open he turned to see Snow standing in the doorway.

"Snow " he rushed to her side.

Her eyes were filled with tears and her body trembling.

She looked up at him, "I can't sleep, the...th..the images just keep..appearing ". Snow cried.

He hugged her, even after saying she was okay. He knew she wasn't.

What had happened to her had been terrifying and must have added to her already past trauma.

"It's okay, am here " he whispered.

Pulling away he wiped away her falling tears.

"You can keep saying you're okay but it's not true. For what happened wasn't something easy to just move on from" he said.

"I can't be like...". She cried.

"Yes you can, you almost died. And that is something no one can just move on from. So don't try to be strong and let it all sink in....am here with you " he said.

Snow nodded her tears falling.

Divean pulled her back to his chest holding her.

"Let's get you to bed, you need to rest " he whispered.

Snow nodded but didn't move. Divean looked down at her.

"Something wrong?" he asked.

"I can't move my legs," she said.

"Huh?..." but she had walked to his room. His eyes looked down at her leg finally noticing the short night dress she was in, fully exposing her thighs.

"Don't ask me how I got here " she sniffed.

He smiled bending down and scooped her up in his arms.

"Okay "he replied.

Snow was silent as he laid her in bed and took the covers over her body. Her eyes watched his every move.

After he was done he turned to leave and she sat up grabbing his hand.

"Where are you going?" she asked.

"I need to finish some work, don't worry I won't leave the room " he said.

"Oh, okay " She slowly let go of his hand but didn't lay back down.

Divean sighed.

He grabbed his laptop and documents and moved to the other side of the bed getting in.

"Better?" he asked.

She nodded laying back down.

He opened his laptop and went on with his work while she watched him.

A few minutes later he looked over to her side to find Snow asleep.

He smiled.
