Why do I want to help her

Troy steel pov

She is awake now not talking just staring at us confused , in pain and scared .

I tried asking questions how can I help she screamed at me in fear like I might do something , she tried to get out of bed when she stepped on the floor using her wounded leg she screamed in pain and bled slightly because she exerted pressure on the wound , I got so devastated just watching her in all this agony all because of me , and once again I have failed another human being all because of my sick games my father taught me

She couldn't eat the vegetables the nurse tried to feed her and she threw up a lot of it but she was hungry she had lost energy then Emma came up with the idea of steak and she ate that like an animal tried to stop so that she doesn't shock on meat , she almost bit me I simply placed water on the table stand incase she gets done I will give her water too then watches her tear the meat with her front teeth we all watched her and shocked at how a human can eat like that Emma and I laughed when she leaked the plate and she smiled

Dressing her became another problem she sweated alot spent she would just pull the hospital gown off and good thing only I have walked in when she is naked called for a female to dress her

She hates water she literally screamed when the nurse tried to bathe her

All this happening but no one has declared her as missing person and she hasn't said a word just screams when she doesn't like something

Iam exhausted spent a week in the hospital put my meetings on hold so that i handle this issue first .

The police took pictures tried to announce on tv to find out who she is but all leads were false , there's one time a man called claiming to be boyfriend but it was false he was just a scum who probably wanted to do bad things to her , I can't even imagine.

Then a woman called in crying claiming she is her lost daughter but with further investigation police discovered that she is a whore who owns a brothel and l ordered the police to go after her arrest her they will do so because my ancestors own this town for her sake am willing to use my connections

The police advised me not to search for her people for sometime until probably she has healed someone might claim for her and hurt her .

I can't take this anymore this is messy how can I take care of a grown woman I just dont understand how such trouble came in my life

Looking at her stare at me with those blue eyes makes me want to help hold her to comfort her from this confusion yet she is just a stranger. Sitting besides her just staring at her as she is asleep she has been mostly asleep due to medication emmma tells me she needs the sleep for healing.

Deep in my thoughts I pick up my phone that has been ringing for hours due to the postponed meeting my business partners are about to blow my phone ,

" Mr steel there are many pending orders the PINK show is coming soon and we need your designs" Alex one of my business partners he brings in the customers and I design jewelries with my staff , now I forgot the pink show that asked me to exhibit my jewelry but I still have a month to go it will just be a sleepless month and all results will be ready

" I will let you know when am ready"

" but Mr steel "

" Alex I said I will let you know " I bark on top of my voice and hung up ,

I know he needs me so I can talk to him the way I want , I know when I needed more money to help me start a business which my dad was against he turned up and joined hands , Emma couldn't help because my dad had tried to control everyone around me closed his hospital he couldn't help me then Alex came in I studied with him when I was abroad we kept in touch and since his unreachable from my father i requested him for assistance he accepted but he knew how smart Iam then moved to white mountains after my dad died and now he almost has a home everywhere but I know he invested so that he could gain from me but his not the boss of me right now there are pending issues and I have helped him get rich

shit I need a drink or something to help me cope with all this . My sleep depends on pils without them I can't sleep and when I sleep I get nightmares .

Emma gets in handing me a cup of coffeee as he stands behind me

" she will get better but not here"

" what do you mean"

" take her. In or with some caretaker i will send in some help but here she won't pick up it's seems this whole world is new to her and being confined in here will not help and I prefer you take her to your cave"

" it's not a cave " I interrupt

He rolls his and continues " anyway am sending in a professional psychiatrist to help her regain her memory"

" what's all this rubbish your saying you know I can't Kip her "

" you know u have to help her it's your fault "

I know it's my fault but I can't be responsible for this human I know how that turns out and you know too

" you know more than anyone how that goes I can't keep her "

" if you have atleast a little bit of conscious as a human being please let her in that's the only way "

heading for the door Emma holds my hand and bangs the door shut

" honestly I couldn't tell you this but she is like an infant now that's why she is only staring according to the tests we have made , she literally has no idea of anything , shes not deaf she responds to sound she will learn to talk if she remembers "

I freeze and stare blankly at him and he stares then pulls me by my hand towards the seat before her bed pushes me to sit , there and then I knew I will start to care for her because all this is my fault

Placing his fingers and massages slightly on my shoulder " I will help , you are not alone and those things that happened before won't happen but you know more than anyone what being alone in this world means she needs you bro"

I surrender , sigh and drop my head in my hands after a quick thinking I raise my head stare back at him " I will do it but I think I will need a female helper around "

" you know more than anyone who the best candidate is for that job none other your secretary , she's not married has to kids and that big scary cave of yours needs people "

" it's not a cave " I interrupt " but why are you suggesting that side , why not here in town you know the glass house literally not surrounded by anyone "

" you know how small this town this , people will talk it will be too much maybe if she adjusts she will be able to move that side " Emma explains

" and besides too much will not be good for her you know "

I sigh again literally tired of this stupid situations literally no resting

"But let her stay for a month I have very many pending orders and designs to put to use so I can't be of help now and besides she can't walk yet her wood "

" a month and no more " he insists .

Looking at her sleep with no worries my heart skips and suddenly I know I have to help

Ever since that indicident that I have kept at the back of my mind , i promised myself never to let people in my circle of life never in my space except Emma but here Iam letting her in my space I don't know how all this will end but it better be quick because am not letting myself into messy situations again.
