Chapter 2- My saviour

Chapter 2: My saviour


At Chicago Airport-


‘’Is it really important to go alone?’’ Harry asks, holding her hand as he is not letting her go. He doesn’t want to spend a single moment without her but since she is so eager to attend her friend’s wedding, he agreed unwillingly.

‘’Harry, don’t be upset. I will be in touch with you.’’ Caroline patted his cheeks before the announcement happened. 

‘’I don’t feel like leaving you sweetheart..’’ He held her hand in his tight hold and pulled her back. She gets uncomfortable and looks away nervously.

‘’I am not running away. Harry. Let me go. Everyone is watching’’

‘’I won’t. You are my addiction, Caro..I want you..’’ When she glanced at him surprisingly, he covered up and left her. 

‘’My best friend, Ana and her would have requested me many times. How could I deny them? Ana is very close to me. She was feeling guilty that she might not be able to attend our wedding. However, she wanted to meet me before she went on her honeymoon. After this moment, I don’t know when we will get a chance to meet. I will come back as soon as her wedding gets over.’’

‘’Okay fine."

"Thanks for understanding.’’ While she began chattering.

‘’You know we studied together during our graduation In New York. Later Dad shifted to Chicago. So, we lost contact. But I am happy she got her perfect life partner she dreamed of.’’

‘’So you are..’’ Her smile instantly faded.

‘’What happened? Don't you get the man of your dreams?’’ Harry asked.

‘’I am getting late..’’ She told him to leave but he stayed there till she boarded the flight.

‘’I wish I would also join you. If my project is not important I would have come along with you..’’ Harry sighs in disappointment.

‘’It’s okay. I will manage. I am not a kid Harry that I will get lost among the crowd.’’ Reply Caroline.

‘’You are very precious to me.’’

After some time, she left for boarding but he is still standing at the same spot waving to her. She waves him back and begins walking away. Her mind is not at peace. 

 ‘’I am so lucky to get him. He is so caring and lovable. Then what is stopping me? Why I felt uncomfortable whenever he tried to get close to me. Why don't I feel any connection when he is around? What is wrong with me? Why I am not developing feelings for him. He is my fiance. Soon we are getting married. You should feel butterflies thinking about him. Stop it, Caroline. You are overthinking. No-one would ever love you the way he does. He is a perfect gentleman. Love him Caro. Just love him the way he does.’’ She forces her heart to accept a man, totally oblivious to her life going to change after this moment.

Caroline reached New York and rang Ana. 

‘’Damn. My phone battery is also dead now. How will I contact her? I don't even know her exact location’’. Caroline doesn't know what to do. It is then it click her that she might be busy in the pre-wedding ceremony. 

‘’Harry was right. I shouldn't come alone.’’ She stares at the people standing in a corner. Although she had completed her studies in New York but except Ana, she doesn't know anyone in this city. 

After some time, a voice came from behind. I stopped for a moment and then turned and looked at the stranger approaching her.

‘’Are you Ana’s friend, Caroline?’’

‘’Yes. how do you know my name?’’

‘’I am her brother, Jack. Nice to meet you, beautiful lady". He smirked, giving her a dirty look by scanning his eyes all over her.

Caroline feels uncomfortable and adjusted her scarf and inch back.

Jack is Ana’s step brother. Ana’s parents, Mr Smith adopted him when he was 4 years old. As he is the only son of the family, her parents gave him all the freedom and let him do whatever he wants. Due to this, he becomes a spoiled brat. At 14 years old, he got addicted to drugs. Later he tries to flirt and molest with girls. Whenever he sees a girl, he never leaves a chance to get her on his bed.

''She is so hot. For the first time, Ana did good by bringing a hot item for me. It's going to be a lot of fun in your marriage, my darling sister.’’ He thought in his mind and smiled inwardly gazing at her milky white skin lustfully.

Caroline got very scared by the way he kept his eyes fixed on her. She looked around, not having any idea what to do.

‘’I should have listen to Harry.’’ She adjusts her exposed skin from his dirty gaze. She is not sure whether she should go with him or not. But does she have any option? She doesn't know anyone here nor does she have her address.

''Hey why are you sweating? Come with me. Your friend rang me 5 times. Ana is dying to meet you.’’ With that, Jack held her hand. Caroline is taken aback by his sudden advances.

She tries to jerk his hand but his hold is tight and hard. She struggled more and sob silently and began to look around for help.

''Let me go...I want t-'' Her words are cut by a deep hoarse voice who suddenly appeared. The gust of wind blew and she felt her heartbeat racing up all of a sudden.

Caroline looked behind tearfully. She carried her gaze to view at the man who came as a saviour. Their eyes met momentarily and then everything stopped for a while.

He is none other than Austin Miller. He is Ana’s brother-in-law by relation. But for Ana, he is more than her brother. Ana’s marriage is fixed in the Miller family with Austin’s younger brother, Alex Miller. Ana and Alex know each other since college days. Slowly their friendship turns into love. For further studies, she left New york. After the completion of graduation, both settled and decided to marry. One would say if today their marriage is taking place then the entire credit goes to only Austin. He is the one who convinced both the families for their alliance. Being an elder son, Miller's family wanted him to marry first and settle but he had no interest in marrying anytime soon.  

‘’What the hell are you trying to do, Jack? Leave her hand.’’ It is more like a command.

‘’Mind your own business.’’ Jack pushed him as he came forward.

’’Is this a way to treat the guest? Leave her’’ Austin almost yell freeing her hand and pushing him when he is not ready to cooperate. This angered Jack. He felt insulted.  

Ana considers Austin more than her real brother. That's the main reason Jack dislikes Austin as everyone including his own family gives him more important than required. This literally pissed him off.

Jack gave side glare to Caroline and think.''Don't worry babes. This time he saved you but how long? I grab what I want. Very soon you will warm my bed''. With that he leaves but not before shooting deadly glare to Austin who always comes to his path and spoils his mood.

Once he left, Caroline took a sign of relief. But her body is still shaking with fear. She is sobbing hard.

As soon as she saw him stepping toward her, she moves backward.

‘’Are you fine?’’ He made her sit in a corner and extended his handkerchief. Caroline said nothing, just stared at his attractive brown eyes. His kind gesture touched her heart. She felt light talking to him. For the first time it happened she felt protective around any stranger.

‘’Thank..y..you..’’ She replied after a long pause. It took her awhile to calm down. Austin gives her a water bottle which she gladly accepts. Usually she doesn't like talking with strangers but with him, it’s something strange and different.

‘’Do you need anything?’’ Austin asked once he is assured she is fine. She shakes her head in no.

"I am extremely sorry for his misbehaviour. Actually he is like that only. Ana knows about his brother's nature. Whenever he sees any new girl, he starts flirting. That’s why she wanted me to safely pick you to her house."

"Who are you to her. I mean how you know Ana?"

"Opps.. We have been talking for a long time and look I didn’t introduce myself to my sister’s best friend. (pause) My name is Au..."

Before he completes, his phone starts ringing.

‘’Yeah I am coming my dear. Just chill my little Bee. To bring your dearest friend to you is my responsibility. Of Course Bee.’’ 

With whom he is talking and who is Bee? Is he talking to Ana? Might be. The way he is being friendly, it feels they share a close relation to her.  She came out from her thought process when he cleared his throat.

‘’Hmm, so should we leave? Your friend is waiting for your arrival eagerly.’’ Austin exclaimed. She nodded and they drove off.

After travelling one and half hours journey, the car reached in front of Midtown Manhattan Hotel- one of the best hotels of New york. Caroline get puzzled and give him a questioning glare after moving out of his vehicle.

‘’Why are we here? Aren’t we going to Ana’s home? She told me about a wedding event taking place at her Farmhouse.’’ Caroline asked, confused.

‘’Certain changes happened on time. Ana’s in-laws wanted this wedding to occur here.’’

But Austin doesn’t reveal that he is the owner of this hotel and she is her sister-in-law. After getting freshened up, Caroline come out from her hotel room and arrived at the venue where a grand function was going on. Ana was applying Henna in her hands. Upon meeting her childhood friend after years, Ana couldn’t control her happiness. For a moment, she forgot where she was. Getting over-excited, she left everything and ran to hug her. Everyone who is present gets perplexed.

 ‘’Is it really you Caro. Oh my god. I don't believe this, you came on my request. Thank you so much sweetheart.’’ Ana hugged her tight forgetting about her henna filled palm while Caroline prevented it getting ruined. ‘’you haven’t changed a bit. I'm sorry yaar i'm so busy in preparation that i didn't get time to come to your engagement. So tell me how is my cool jiju? When are you bringing him to New york?’’

‘’Shut up, Ana..’’ She gets embarrassed by her teasing in front of everyone.

Austine get bewildered by learning about her engagement. He doesn't know why but he felt bad getting this news. The reason is unknown.  

‘’Thank you. Thank you so so much..You have no idea how happy I am meeting you. I wish Jiju also would have come with you..’’

‘’He wanted to come but due to some urgent work he stayed back..’’ After meeting Mr and Mrs strive, both resume talking, reliving old memories of those golden days of college. They had a lot of fun together.

  With Ana’s insistence,  Caroline also applied mehendi in her hand.

While Jack is standing a few distance, smirk evilly roaming eyes on her beauty. He removed his cellphone and rang one of the gang members.

‘’Hey dude. One beauty is in front of me. So be ready for our treat tonight.’’ Saying this, he hung up the call and started to imagine her body without clothes.

‘’Baby be ready to get fuck by me. We will have a lot of fun’’ With that he passes the flying kiss.

Austin who listens to his conversation, fumes in anger. 

‘’You bastard. How dare you..’’ He seethed with anger.
