Chapter 9

Petra walks past the door of the hospital room where her husband was hospitalized. Today, Bryan was finally going to leave, and Petra was going to pick him up and take him home, but she stopped short when she saw her husband sitting in a wheelchair. He was dressed in a black three-piece suit, white dress shirt and black tie.

Bryan was breathtaking.

Petra concealed her appraising gaze on her husband and walked over to him, who was looking her up and down.

— Today, you are dressed differently. — Bryan says, assessing Petra's outfit.

— Because today I was the one who chose my own clothes, your mother wanted to make me her little doll, choosing my clothes and making me be who I wasn't. — She says bluntly. — I won't do what she wants anymore, and if you think the same, fuck you too.

Bryan just chuckled and looked at Petra with amusement in his eyes.

— Okay, I don't care what you wear. — he says, still amused. — you look beautiful either way.

Petra blushes and tries to change the subject.

— Can you leave now? I came to get you. — she asks.

— I'm waiting for the doctor to come release me. — Bryan says.

— Who helped you change? — Asks Petra, feeling a little strange with her own question, she was curious to know if she had been a nurse.

— My father came here earlier and helped me. — he says. — a male nurse would help me, however, as my father came here, I found it much more pleasant for my father to help me get dressed than a complete stranger.

Petra agreed, but she was still finding that answer strange, because earlier, she heard Joseph, the driver, comment that she had gone to the airport to leave Mr. Miller, he was going on a business trip. But, Petra shrugged at the thought that Mr. Miller may have stopped by the hospital before going to the airport.

The doctor entered the room, causing Petra to get out of her thoughts, he talked to them and said that Bryan was already released, so they finally left the hospital, Bryan in a wheelchair while Petra pushed him.

Bryan looked at Petra and smiled.

— I can't believe I'm finally leaving this hospital. — he said.

He looked at the blue sky and the bright sun, thanking him for being alive and finally leaving the hospital after two months and some long days.

Petra just smiled as they walked towards the car pushing Bryan, she explained to him that the house had undergone some renovations, it had been adapted to ensure that he could recover comfortably. They had installed an access ramp and grab bar in the bathroom, as well as a special room for physiotherapy.

— The only thing I'm worried about is the stairs. — says Petra as Joseph comes over to help get Bryan into the front seat.

— Why are you worried about the stairs? — Bryan asks.

— How are you going to climb through them to get to the second floor? — question.

— Using the elevator. — Bryan says like it's obvious.

— Wait, does our house have an elevator? — asks Petra, open-mouthed.

— Did not you know? — Bryan asks, and she denies, still in shock. — now you know.

After that conversation, they just followed in silence, without any further conversation, just a few exchanges of glances.

. . .

— Finally at home. — Bryan says as he gets out of the car, Petra starts pushing him toward the house.

Petra looks at a man all dressed in a black suit who was standing at her door, he should be 1.80 tall, he is dark with dark eyes, with his hair cut in a military style.

The man, upon seeing the couple, makes a small wave to Petra and walks towards Bryan, the two shake hands and smile.

— Petra, this is Adam. — Bryan says. — Adam, this is Petra, my wife.

— Pleased to meet you. — says Petra, extending her hand to him, who quickly takes it, after a handshake, they walk away.

— Petra, Adam is my secretary, you will see him often around here, as he will help me understand some things about the company, after all, I spent two months sleeping, and while I was in that state, a merger between two companies was taking place. Companies, I need to understand how it turned out and if everything is working out. — Bryan says to Petra, who nodded

— You won't be working today. — says Petra.

— Why not? — he asks, raising an eyebrow.

— You've just left the hospital, you're going to rest, you're working tomorrow. — says Petra with a certain tone of authority in her voice.

— Okay, but I'm not doing this because you're talking. — he says. — I'll just deliver some documents to Adam, tomorrow he'll return, and we'll work in my office.

— Excellent. — says Petra. — I will take a bath.

So Petra left, leaving Bryan and Adam alone, however, Bryan followed every movement Petra made as she walked away, the way her ass moved in that dress, was turning him on.

— Sir, we need to investigate further into that matter. — says Adam, looking at Bryan.

— I just got out of the hospital, I need to rest. Bryan says. — I'll give you the document and the passwords, start the investigation, we'll meet tomorrow, and we'll do it together.

— By obeying his wife? — Adam asks with a smile on his face.

Adam, in addition to Bryan's secretary, is a friend, as well as Logan. When Bryan woke up from the coma, he learned from his father that Logan had to make a trip to Scotland, it seemed that his grandfather was hospitalized, and his condition was very serious.

— I'm not obeying her, I'm just really tired. — says Bryan, but this conversation does not convince Adam, but he closed the matter and just nodded. Soon the two went inside the house, where they went to Bryan's office, to get the documents and passwords.

As quickly as it came, Adam was gone. Bryan sighed and went looking for his wife.
