A scar

Next day in the morning ,Noran woke up and saw that she was alone in the room and Carl was nowhere around. She went downstairs and asked Uncle John, "Has Carl left already?" He nodded.

Noran had her breakfast and got into her room to get ready to go to work when suddenly she received a call. After receiving it, she seemed a bit sad and gave a sigh. She went out helplessly, took a cab and and went to meet the person who just called her.

Later in the evening, Noran returned to Carl's mansion. She did not say anything, went up to her bedroom and threw herself on the bed with her face buried in a pillow and silently stayed like that with her eyes closed.

Her phone kept ringing but she was had no energy and mood to pick it up. Irritated by the continuous ringing of her phone, she took her phone to see whose was it from. It was from Lee. She just switched her phone off and went back to sleep and eventually fell asleep.

Few hours went by and Noran suddenly felt someone beside her caressing her hair. She opened her eyes to see who it was. Seeing it was Carl she woke up with a jerk.

"When did you come in?" she asked.

"Few minutes ago," he said with a smirk.

With the sudden jerk that she woke up, her back started aching. Her eyes twitched and she showed a displeased hurt face face. Carl noticing this asked her," What's wrong? Are you hurt somewhere?"

She replied with an aloof face, "Nothing. I am fine." Carl was dipleased seeing her hiding something so he quickly came near her and held her waist. Noran slighly flinched and bit her lips as her wound hurt.

Carl looked at her and asked her to show her back which she refused. Seeing her so disobedient, he held her in his arms and turned her around forcibly and opened her backchain and was shocked at what he saw.

Her back had many wounds as if somebody slashed her with a whip. She had a scar at her lower back near her waist. He frowned. He asked her," Who did this to you?" She kept silent. Seeing that she would not answer, he did not ask more for he did not want to force her anymore and went towards his small cupboard and from one of the drawers took out a healing cream and came back.

"What are you doing?" she asked as he approached her closer to apply the cream.

"Keep quiet. You are hurt so much but did not even bother to apply balm. Let me do this." Carl was quite displeased with her reckless behaviour. Noran did not speak a word and let him to do his job. Sometimes she would hiss in pain but Carl became more gentler as he saw her hurt. Carl had a sad look when he saw her like this.

After few minutes, Noran fell asleep in the cool breeze that blew by and her wound didn't hurt much. Carl seeing her asleep gave a sigh but he was still indeed angry at the person who dared to hurt his wife like this.

He went out of the room and took out his phone. He called someone and said," I need you to investigate something....... Get this done as soon as possible." His eyes had murderous aura.

Then he took a shower and lay beside her and caressed her cheeks whispering," You have suffered a lot but not anymore." He smiled as he kissed her forehead. He fell asleep.

The scar in Noran's heart are bigger than the scars on her body so she had always been strong-willed and cold to others. She does not easily open her heart to anyone. She would never cry as all the pains made her so cold that she became emltionless.

Next morning, Noran woke up early and saw Carl laying beside her still asleep. Her lips curved into a smile when she saw his handsome face and caressed his silky hair. She whispered into his ears "Thank you" and when she looked up to see his face she saw his eyes opened grinning.
