Devouring love by Serafina Daniel

that. After all, I saved his girl. He should be thankful about that at least.
    After one hour I was standing in front of my cabinet door. My brother was next to me with a huge grin on his face. I wanted to erase it from his face, but I also was glad that he was here in a good mood. I really needed to be with someone who wasn't frowning or serious all the time.
    “Where is my client?” I asked as I unlocked me cabinet door and let him inside.
    Nick had taken some minutes to scan my cabinet before he opened his mouth to answer. He was surprised to see how big my new cabinet was comparing to the last one. He also noticed that only one file lied on my table next to many books about deep sleep and coma.
    “New hobby?” he asked in a teasing tone.
    “Where is he?” I asked, not hiding that I was tired and didn't want to play his silly games.
    “He told me he will be with you patient or something like that,” he announced not even glancing at me.
    “Okay, I will go and find him while you stay here and do nothing.”
    He nodded. I was relieved that he didn't say anything and let me go so easily.
    I found Merdian sitting next to Melody. I also noticed two new men standing next to the door. They only let me inside when I showed them my card on my chest. Mr. Spring didn't want to give any opportunity for people to hurt Melody again. Maybe now I understood why the guard was here in the first place. The Spring family was really powerful family not only in the city, but in the country or maybe event in the world. So it wasn't surprise that maybe someone would want to harm them
    “Good day, Mr. Spring,” I greeted Merdian.
    He looked at me for one second and then let his eyes return to the girl who was peacefully lying on the bed like a corpse. Her skin seemed even paler that it used to. I noted in my mind that I should order nurses to massage her body.
    “Where were you?” he asked in a serious tone. Also, I heard a complain in his voice.
    “At home. Taking a rest. That even...”
    “You need to awake her,” he was controlling his voice. “I want her back, Mr. Offman. My family hired you because you are the best. But what I can see now, is that you only are pretending to do everything in order to give her back to me,” I noticed that he squeezed her hand.
    “I am only a human, Mr. Spring, and I am doing everything what I can do.”
    “No you are not,” he didn't agree with me. “If you had done that, she would have awaked and not still ...sleeping.”
    I didn't know what to say to that. One part of me wanted to argue with him while another one wanted to agree. But in the end I decided to keep my mouth shut. It was pointless to talk with him when he was still in a bad mood. I understood that he was in pain to be so close and at the same time so far from the girl he was in love with.
    I nodded, thinking it would give Mr. Spring what he wanted. I was right. He wanted me to prove him that I wasn't as good as everyone thought I was. I was only some kind of a young man who had a really good memory.
    “If it be my decision, I would fire you, but my father thinks you can do what others can't. So, prove it to me or I will make your live a hell,” and he stood up and left me alone in the room with a girl.
    His words let me see how small I really was in front of him. Mr. Spring really had power to control my life. And if he controlled mine, he would control my mother and brother's. I couldn't let that happened.
    I came closer the bed and touched the girl's arm. It even felt colder than previous time. It wasn't a good sign. She was slowly passing away and even all those devices, which the Spring could buy, won't help her.
    I didn't know how long I stood next to the girl when I heard Nick's angry voice behind the door. I walked out only to see how guards ordered Nick to walk away.
    “Everything is okay,” I assured guards. “He is a student. He is here to help me,” I told them and waved my hand to the room that my brother
