Chapter 4

I click the button under my desk and the door opens and one of the guards walks in.

“Boss” “Tell Susan that the lady must be ready we will be leaving shortly.”, I don't want to call her by her prostitute name.

“Okay boss”, he walks out and closes the door.

I wash my hands and then I start eating my food. A major part of me is aching to perform a background check on her but I know it may lead me to information I might not want so I will see what I will do for now. *

KATE

I finished my supper and I felt so extremely full. I was instructed that I should be ready and we are going. Fear hit in that instant that I could be heading back to Henry's building. I was terrified as I was pacing up and down as I was in the garden with soldiers around every corner there is. There was no escaping here. I am confident if you tried to run away you would be dead in an instance. Even if I thought about running away where would I go? I don't know anyone and I don't recall where my family is. I don't know where I should go on what street.

“The boss is waiting for you”

I turn around and it's one of the helpers.

I nod and breathe in and out. When was the last time I was outside like this? I followed the lady inside and she escorted me to the car the driver opened the door for me and I got in and it was closed. My breathing quickened as the main man came and he got in the car next to me. He was wearing his suit jacket at that time. His scent quickly reached my nostrils and filled the vehicle. I swallowed that very instant. I am terrified of this man, I won't lie. He types something on his phone and we sit in silence in the car. A few seconds later his side of the door opened and a purse was given to him.

“Thank you Susan”, he says and the door closes.

He then places the brown bag on my lap.

“A lady never leaves the house without a bag”, he adds and then gestures with his fingers that the driver should start driving.

I grab the bag and hold it near to me and gaze at him as he glances at me then looks straight ahead as our eyes contact. He clears his throat and suddenly stillness reigns the whole vehicle. We reach a hospital after some time and I glance around. The driver unlocks his door and he gets out. I attempt to go out but the door locks that second. I start to fear as to why I am trapped in here while clutching onto this wonderful tiny bag. The door opens and he puts out his hand.

“Come”, he whispers and I lay my small hand on his. It is rough and has a very strong grip. He watches me flinch to his firm hold and he loosens it a bit. He locks the door behind me and we start going into the hospital with my hand still in his. I feel like a child and his height doesn't help as well.

The way he walks and positions, while we are strolling through the hospital halls yells confidence and demands some respect without even knowing who he is or him asking for it. I stare at his hand as it is gripping mine and then look forward and attempt to keep up with his speed. We arrive at a room and he knocks one and enters.

“Nathaniel”, the doctor says as soon as we arrive.

“I am here. Do whatever you need to do and take everything you need to take”, Mr Nathaniel says and I look at him.

“Okay, Go on the bed Mam”, the doctor says and I feel fearful of what they are going to do to me but I go there slowly.

I get on the bed and then wait for the doctor. He approaches with a file and he stands in front of me.

“Firstly I need to take all your information”, he adds and I look at Mr Nathaniel who is standing in a distance.

“I...I am Kate”, I say.

“Is that your full name?”, I shook my head and closed my eyes trying to recall what my name was.

It starts with a K, that I know. I open my eyes and gaze at the doctor.

“It's...it's Kaitlin”, I say.

“Your surname?"

“I. I don't remember it properly”, I say.

“Write Nathaniel there”, I gaze at Mr Nathaniel and he keeps his face.

“Okay then”, the doctor says and then he writes some things and then he rises and walks to Mr Nathaniel.

“You have to get her some sort of ID before it is a problem” " the doctor murmurs believing I can't hear him.

“I will sort it out don't worry”, he nods and walks towards me and he takes his gloves.

“I will do a few tests. Some for STIs and some for cancer. How old are you?”, he asks.

“I am 20 years old”, he turns his head and stares at Mr Nathaniel before staring at me for a time.

“Okay, have you done any test for cancer or STI before?”, I shake my head.

“Okay, it is okay. Have you ever been pregnant before?”, he asks.

I stay quiet for some time and he glances at me for a minute.

“I...I..”, I had flashbacks of my body on the cold floor as his hard shoe repeatedly kicked me I attempted to breathe for dear life as I felt a rip down on my tummy.

“Be truthful”, I glanced up at the doctor and my hands were shaking a bit as he said that.

“Yes”, I quietly murmured.

“You had an abortion?”, he says and I hurriedly shake my head.

“I...I was kicked until I was laying in a pool of blood just so I could lose the baby”, he writes it down.

“Did you go to the hospital after?”, I shake my head.

“No, this is my first time. A doctor was brought in for me so I could stop bleeding”, I said “Okay, we will examine everything and see if you are okay. Alright?”, I nodded and the doctor gave a soft Pat before getting down with his work.

He collected some blood from me and conducted a scan on my abdomen took samples from my Virgina to test for cervical cancer and did a pregnancy test on me as well. He sealed all his samples and started to write something on them before he informed me I could get off the bed and don my shoes. Mr. Nathaniel came towards me crouched in front of me and removed my shoes and he helped me wear them. I thanked him and he helped me off the bed. We proceeded to sit down in front of the doctor and he glanced up at us.

“For now she clears off everything but I will take the blood to the lab and get it tested.”, he replies.

“I expect the results tomorrow”, Mr. Nathaniel replies.

“Mmmh okay”, the doctor says.

“That is all for today”, we rise and leave him there and there.

I was standing by the bedroom balcony as I peered out and observed the guards patrolling the whole area. This is great, not to have Henry smash in that door and come and grab me or do something to me that exact minute. I don't get a chance to rest. Even if this one is short-lived this is great and it feels nice as well I won't lie. We had been back home for approximately 3 hours ago and I have my lunch as well now. I am enjoying the food that is being made here and I don't believe I have had water today even. I inhale and take in the fresh air while I am clinging to the rails. For such a huge house I don't expect to not find a pool here. Usually, houses like these have pools right?

“I wonder if he swims”, I said thinking out loud.

“I don't”, I look around and there is Mr Nathaniel. He is leaning near the sliding door at that time. I glance down.

“Can you swim?”, He asks lifting his brow and I shake my head.

“No I can't”, I swiftly answer.

“From now on you should introduce yourself as Kaitlin”, he turns and goes off and leaves something on the bed before going out and closes the door.
