The Essence Of The Darkness
EOTL eps 45: Key

“You must make sure that Xavier is alive!” Suddenly Aaron cried out hysterically, his bruised face turned towards Sabina with glaring eyes.

Sabina thinned her lips, staring at Aaron cynically. “You stabbed Xavier yourself, now you're sorry and want him to live?” his tan is full of irony.

Aaron looked pale. “D-he put poison in my body and only he has the antidote! If he were to die, it is not impossible that I would also die of poisoning!” Aaron was starting to look hysterical. His voice sounded high. “Get Sera! You must find a way to find Serafina Moon! He would definitely help me if he knew that my life was being threatened!”

Sabina frowned. “I have doubts about what you said. While on the plane, you said that Sera would cooperate with you, but you said that she betrayed you and told Xavier about the mini-mobile.” Sabina threw a look of disdain towards Aaron. “I think you're too high to judge yourself, Aaron. Most likely, that Seramu has already thrown you away and fallen into the charm of Xavier!”

“That couldn't have happened!” Aaron's eyes glared towards Sabina. “I have planted a strong image of myself in his head, that I am the guardian angel and the best person who will always save him. What has been implanted in the head of Serafina Moon, will not be easily removed. I'm sure, that in her subconscious, she's still on my side.” Aaron's breath was puffed up by the emotions of his soul. “Find all the way to get Serafina Moon, only she can help me!”

***

Sabina leaves Aaron alone in the motel room.

He had already advised that Aaron absolutely must not get out of the motel room if he wants to survive, if Aaron wants to eat, then, then he can only book directly to the owner of the motel that provides a simple menu for people who stay at their place.

There should be no food delivery messages, because it requires internet-connected technology. They are facing a very skilled technological ruler in the country, so any action that uses technological facilities, even the smallest possible, should be avoided because it can keep their position tracked.

Sabina just hopes Aaron is smart enough and doesn't do anything stupid that will trouble her later.

While driving her car back to the city, Sabina curses herself for getting involved with the big problems associated with the powerful people in the country. Not to mention, his former boss, Dimitri Kazak, will certainly not stay silent when he finds out that he has betrayed.

But somehow, Sabina felt that it was all worth it. He had never been as attracted to a man as he had felt to Xavier Light. The man was so haughty, exalted himself and thought of him as a lowly dirt. Sabina really wanted to make the man bend his knees at his feet and make him realize that this dirt he rejected, was actually a very valuable diamond.

Sabina's eyes were fixed sharply on the streets, while her mind was spinning hard to find a way out of the complicated matter that was twisting her like a tangled thread.

First of all, he had to make sure that Xavier was alive and well, then after that….

Serafina Moon's.

Maybe Aaron was right. Serafina Moon will be the key that opens the door of the way out of all the problems that hold her back.

Sabina's eyes shone with determination. Yep. He had to get Serafina Moon first in his hands.

"What does this beautiful woman do crying alone here?”

The soft voice greeted Sera, making Sera gasp and stop her crying.

Gosh darn. Stupidly he, because he was carried away, he just cried in the hallway of this hospital. The bodyguards guarding at the end of the hallway there must be confused to see his current behavior.

Sera raised her head, figuring out who the unknown voice was greeting her. She knew that as Xavier's wife, the man's bodyguards couldn't possibly dare to address her in the informal manner she had just heard. After all, anyone who enters this area, must pass a strict inspection….

Sera's eyes instantly met with reddish eyes that blended with the pale skin on the face framed by almost white blonde hair.

Instantly Sera was aghast, her body immediately stiffened, staring at the figure in front of her warily. Everyone must know the unique appearance of the man who is almost entirely pale with his distinctive red eyes.

Dimitri Kazak's.

Why is Dimitri Kazak in this place? Wasn't Dimitri Xavier's enemy? How could this man break through the strict security system in this hospital?

“I came in peace,” Dimitri seemed to raise his hand to show that he was harmless.

Sera had not had time to react when the sound of footsteps followed at the end of the hall. His heart beat harder, this time being wracked with even more madness, when he saw Akram Night coming.

The man stared coldly at Sera, not questioning why Sera was sitting on the floor leaning against the side of the hall like that. Akram then instead turned his gaze to Dimitri, speaking in a rude manner full of threats.

“You shouldn't have preceded my move.” Akram was receiving a phone call so he did not realize that Dimitri stepped in before him into the hallway of this hospital.

“I was intending to upload you.” Dimitri looked intimidated with Akram's domineering attitude, the man lowered his tone. “But then I heard the sound of crying in this hallway and couldn't help but find the source of his voice. Then, I met Madam Light who was crying.”

Akram glanced back at Sera who had stood up from her position on the floor. The woman looked chaotic, her eyes were puffy and her cheeks wet.

Who is this woman crying over? Is he crying over Xavier Light? But that's impossible, isn't it? Xavier himself said that Sera hated and held a grudge against him and was eager to get away from him. Xavier also once said that Sera's heart, tied to Aaron Dawn, is currently being hunted.

“You are wondering why Dimitri is here?” Akram could immediately read the question that radiated clearly from Sera's eyes. “He made a hunting beast. Since your Aaron is working with Dimitri's men, then I need Dimitri's cooperation to find the two creatures as soon as possible.”

Dimitri could only grimace when Akram called him a hunting beast. In fact, though now he is free and is not handcuffed or knife-handled, he is brought into this country by force, not by good means. Akram Night sends his best ambush troops to besiege Dimitri who was in the car, on his way to his home. They drugged him, then transported him across the country until he reached the country.

Afterwards, Dimitri awakens under the rule of Akram Night, with a small nano-sized mini-bomb-like chip implanted into his neck. If Dimitri fought back, then the bomb would explode, as well as blow his head off.

Dimitri should have not been involved with these two terrible brothers from the beginning. Now, he was at a crucial point where his life depended on the two monstrous creatures. His position could not be more unlucky, already poisoned with a rare poison whose antidote was only in Xavier's brain, now replace Akram who implanted a nano bomb into his body.

“I think I'll correct a little. Sabina is my former employee. Ever since he broke my orders, I also hunted him as a traitor.” Dimitri tried to defend himself, grinning towards Sera with a friendly look.

Indeed, ever since Xavier told him that Sabina had been working with Aaron Dawn, Dimitri had been trying to contact Sabina in various ways. However, Sabina avoided him shrewdly, making Dimitri unable to reach him. Now, even Sabina makes a big deal of trouble by escaping Aaron from Xavier's custody.

“Sabina is very trained to hide herself, if she is already hiding, it will be very difficult to find her. But, what Sabina didn't know, was that I implanted a small tracer in the body of each of my employees so that I could easily find it. Unfortunately, the tracking device was specially made with high-tech and there was only one in Russia, and because Mr. Akram was so reckless that he kidnapped me unprepared, so I did not have time to bring the tool, so it makes us late to find Sabina.”

Dimitri couldn't help but look at Akram with a denouncing look, unfortunately, Akram's clear expression showed no guilt at all.

“I've sent my men to your country to retrieve them. The device will arrive in the country soon" Akram said in a calm voice.

Sera widened her eyes, for some reason she felt that she should not have heard the conversation between these two monstrous people.

Why did Akram seem to deliberately open his pursuit plan towards Sabina and Aaron in front of him? What does Akram Night plan? Does the man want to see his reaction or trap him and encourage Sera to betray so that he has a reason he can give Xavier if he later kills Sera?

“K-then...what are you going to do in this hospital?” Sera finally even issued a question towards Dimitri, because he did not dare to directly confront Akram.

The question made Dimitri smile with irony.

“Because, the only human being who can save my life is in that room.” Without objection, Dimitri gave his answer to Sera. “I was with Akram when I got word that Xavier's condition was worsening. So he led me to run here. I also need to confirm Xavier's condition, because as you already know, he poisoned me and the antidote was only in his head.” Dimitri rolled his eyes witfully as if laughing at himself. “So, when Xavier dies, then I too will die.”

Sera gulped, at a loss for words. Dimitri Kazak is known as the most violent mafia in Russia there, maybe that's why, the man can talk about death easily as if he was joking.

Suddenly Akram looked at Sera sharply, making Sera swallow nervously. The man seemed as if he really wanted to probe into Sera's heart, as if he wanted to find evidence of Sera's crimes.

“There is a small room next to Xavier's treatment room. You can rest there if you want.” Akram suddenly gave a proposal to Sera, as if to subtly expel the woman.

Sera is not unaware of Akram's expulsion, but herself certainly does not want to leave this place just like that.

He turned to the door of Xavier's room where the man was receiving medical attention. Doctor Nathan and the nurses have not yet come out of the room, so he has no idea what Xavier's condition is like in there.

Stubbornly, Sera then shook her head, staring at Akram while venturing into speech.

“Kurasa... I better wait here.” Sera wrapped her arms around to embrace her own body, holding back the defensive stance that was seeping into her soul.

Akram raised an eyebrow, unable to stop his sinisterity.

“Oh yes? Are you here to make sure Xavier is healthy, or to make sure that Xavier is dead?”

Sera buyak, her trembling mouth opened, was about to issue a rebuttal to Akram's evil attitude. But, at the same time, the door of Xavier's treatment room opened, and Doctor Nathan walked out of the room.

“Nathan.” Akram's tall body straight up directly approached the Doctor and blocked Sera's view. “How is Xavier's condition?”

Doctor Nathan's voice took a deep breath.

“Currently the condition is stable.” Doctor Nathan chose not to explain at length, only providing certainty that can relieve everyone.

“Until how long Xavier should be made to remain unconscious?” Akram immediately asked quickly, his eyes glancing towards Xavier's treatment room anxiously.

Doctor Nathan sighed again. “Until his body can withstand the pain in a conscious state and painkillers are effective for him.”

Doctor Nathan nodded his head. “I will continue to be on standby at this hospital and make sure his condition continues stable until heals later.”

“Good then. Let me know if there are any recent developments, good or bad, no matter how small.”

Akram nodded his head slightly towards Doctor Nathan, then turned his body about to leave the passageway. Before doing so, his head turned towards Dimitri and looked at him with a sharp hostile gaze.

“Why are you quiet? Follow me.” His orders with a real tone of disdain.

There was nothing that Dimitri could do but pry his lips full of irony and obey Akram's orders. The bombs and poison embedded at once in his body rendered him helpless. The man really treated her like a obedient follower beast and did not humanize her.

***

The two tall men stepped out of the hallway, leaving only Sera and Doctor Nathan alone there.

Doctor Nathan seemed to have just realized there was a presence of Sera behind Akram. The man had definitely seen Sera's puffy eyes and her expression softened instantly, feeling a little guilty.

“Pardon my attitude earlier, Sera.” Politely, Doctor Nathan apologized. He then raised his chin towards the room next to Xavier's treatment room. “Xavier will remain asleep for some time as we put him in a coma to speed up his recovery process. You can go home if you want and I'll make sure you get regular news about Xavier's condition. Or, if you want to wait in this hospital, I'll set up a treatment room next to Xavier's for you. But I can't give you a definite period of time, when Xavier can be made sober. You may have to wait for days.”

No need to think long, Sera immediately nodded her head.

“I'll wait here,” disconnect later. Sera's eyes glanced back at Xavier's treatment room.

“You want to be here for the next few hours, or you want to wait for Xavier at this hospital?” Doctor Nathan asked again to be sure, as if unsure of Sera's words.

“A-I want to wait in this hospital until. Can it?” sera asked nervously and looked at Doctor Nathan as if frightened.

It took a while for Doctor Nathan to decide, but after, he let out a long sigh and nodded his head.

“Good. I'll arrange for the clerk to prepare the next room for you. Xavier's men will also get your clothes and equipment from home soon,” he said.

Sera nodded her head. “Thank you, doctor,” say it in a sincere tone, then say it carefully. “B-can I see Xavier?” slowly tanyanya.

Doctor Nathan let out a long breath. “I can't keep you from doing it. After all, you are Xavier's wife. But don't do anything you did that provoked Xavier to wake up. Don't get too close to her, don't talk to her. Anyway, Xavier should always fall asleep until I decide that he may wake up.” Doctor Nathan's gaze turned serious. “We have installed a surveillance camera in the room, also a special alarm that can detect any changes even if only a speck from Xavier. So, don't think about doing something you might regret, Sera.”

***

A nurse delivered lunch to Sera and said that the room next door was prepared for her to rest if needed.

However, Sera who was sitting on the sofa opposite Xavier's bed lay unconscious, had no interest at all in leaving this room.

It seemed, for tonight, it was better for Sera to sleep inside this room while waiting for Xavier. The large sofa in this room is more than enough as a place to rest and sleep at night.

The savory aroma of cooking and emitting warm steam was tempting for Sera. He then stood up, looked up at the table where the cooking tray was placed, before then opening the lid of the tray.

There is warm corn soup, onion bread that smells like freshly removed from the oven, vegetable salads, pasta in small portions and also fresh fruits that combine with sweet pudding.

Suddenly, Sera's stomach felt rumbling, charging to fill. He remembered that he had not eaten anything since this morning.

Sera pulled the chair closer to the table, then began to eat the available food. His stomach began to feel sore wrapped around, and Sera did not want to get sick because of late eating. He must stay healthy in order to be able to face various obstacles that may be heavier appear in the future.

Sera ate all of that food voraciously, bashing it on without remaining, driven by the spirit of survival, and then, just like back then when she was locked up in a dark room by Samantha Dawn for days and fed only moldy bread and water. Back then, without feeling the slightest disgust, Sera finished the bread, because she knew that it was the only fuel nutrient that could support her body to survive. When Sera's body can no longer bear to eat improper food, she will be seriously ill, vomiting at all times and suffered pain all over her body as a result of food poisoning. At that moment, it was Aaron who came secretly, smuggled the fresh bread he stole from the kitchen, and gave it medicine that made him feel better and able to survive.

Everyone blames Sera because she worries about Aaron more than anyone. But the men did not understand that when Sera was at the most terrible point of her life, only Aaron came as her guardian angel.

Yes, Sera once took a heart to Aaron, it was all driven by his admiration for the kindness of the man, he said, but Sera quickly kills her feelings because she knows that she, who is just a lowly pawn and a tool for revenge for Roman Dawn, does not deserve to be Aaron's companion at all.

The man had been prepared to tread the glorious path as the successor of the Roman Dawn, and at that moment, Sera knew herself and did not want to stand in her way.

But at this moment everything seemed to be scattered in the opposite direction of their plan. Sera even involved Aaron in his prairie with Xavier. If it wasn't for him, Xavier wouldn't have held Aaron hostage, and neither would Xavier have been hurt by Aaron.

Now, Sera is faced with a terrible dilemma that leaves her adrift in confusion.

Sera does not know why Aaron attacked Xavier, nor can he agree when Aaron made Xavier hurt like this.

At the moment, however, Xavier is her husband, the man who has tied the knot with her. While Sera's heart was completely broken by Xavier's gentle attitude towards her.

The marriage was a forced marriage. But, in their married life, the man almost never forced his will on Sera, his attitude was always gentle, even when the man was angry and spoke sharply, never once did he swing his hand to hurt Sera.

In fact, Xavier feels like a shady house that offers him protection. However, for Sera whose brain had been crammed by all the terrible things Xavier had done in the past, it was very difficult to step foot and put his trust in the shady house and take refuge in it.

What should Sera do? What path should he take to be able to make both sides happy?

When bribing her food, Sera's gaze unconsciously turned towards her stomach, and her hand automatically rubbed her stomach with a gentle attitude.Hy heart was still curious, expressing a question whose answer could only be given by time.

Is she pregnant? Did Xavier manage to plant his seed in Sera's body?
