CH:2 Evil Stare

*Third-person p.o.v

Leila didn't know that her sister in law was so jealous of her, she was unaware of her agony towards herself. Leila was unable to understand the taunts in Cara's sweet tone, she was unable to catch the hint that Cara didn't like her... But Leila as a pure heart girl she was so innocent to feel the hate.

Leila love Cara so much! She considers her as her good friend and a sister without knowing the fire of jealousy burning in Cara's heart. Cara wants her out of their life. She doesn't want to share the concern of her husband with his family.

Danny got married to Cara three years ago but Cara didn't want to come and live with Danny's parents.

Cara was trying for a long time to settle back in her own country. She was trying to convince her husband to go with her but Danny didn't want to leave his family.

Cara didn't like Danny's family from the time she came here with him, she got married to Danny but she never accepted that Danny is living with his parents. She thinks that Leila got all the love and attention.

Danny tried to make her understand but Cara just ignored him. Now, she just wants Leila to disappear from their life. This party and celebrations! It was all making her so annoyed. She petitioned that it never happens again... But this time her evil wishes didn't go in vain, but they were granted and it was going to be the downfall of Leila so soon... The evil stares were going to eat her happiness and ruin her innocence. She was going to go on a journey of pain and suffering that will never end.

Everyone was enjoying this little happiness. The slow music was playing in the background. Cara and Anna were dancing and enjoying themselves.

Leila's eyes caught Cara standing far in a corner. She doesn't look happy. Leila got worried. She ran towards her then grabbed her hand. Cara gave her a look.

"Cara, what are you doing here? Come let's dance." Leila said with a smile.

"Leila, you enjoy. I don't feel like dancing." Cara said in a poison-laced tone.

"Why what happened? Are you fine?" Leila asked caring about her health.

"I think just a little headache. Don't worry! You go, enjoy your day..." She lied.

"Cara, I am so sorry. I think I will call the music off. You can go take rest." Leila said with a saddened expression. Cara smirked.

"Oh, Leila. No, No... I will be fine. I will just go into my room and take a rest. Don't worry. It's your day. You can enjoy it. AND if you will call off the party, you know your brother will be sad." Cara said looking towards her husband. Danny was watching her sister talking to Cara.

"Are you sure?" Leila asked. Cara nodded her head. She just wanted to go away from this party. She got it.

"Take a rest. I will send my brother back soon..." Leila said. Cara nodded her head then went towards her room.

"Little manipulative bitch!" She whispered starting Leila one more time, then closed the door of her room.

Leila went back to Anna with a sad smile on her face. Danny went towards her...

"What happened? Why did she leave? Anything wrong?" He asked.

"She is not feeling well. I think we should call off the party brother, you go and take care of her..." She said.

"No, my little sister. No way, this is your day. She will be fine. Now, smile and enjoy. Mom, Dad will be here soon..." He said. She smiles then hugged her brother.

"Thank you, Brother." Leila said. The time went by, it's been half an hour... But their parents didn't come back!

Danny was now worried, he was calling on his father mobile. But he was not answering. Anna's father was a close friend to Leila father. He was also trying to reach them but no one answered.

Leila had asked him so many times for her parents but Danny didn't know where they have gone. Anna and Leila were trying to call on Leila's phone, maybe they are out of coverage, maybe their phone batteries are dead.

But they have a charger in the car. This is not possible. Leila is trying to think of all the positive aspects. They are fine. Yes, they are fine. They will be home soon. She was giving herself hope.

The situation of Danny was also the same. He was parting for their safety.

Now, they both were worried waiting for their parents.

All the guests look at their tensed faces, they left their house to give them some space and time.

"I can not wait for more... I am going out to look for them..." Danny said. Leila nodded her head.

"Okay, brother you go. I will try to call them from here. If they came back I will inform you." She said with a shaking heart. Her face that was shining brightly with happiness is now clouded with frightened expressions.

Danny gets up from the sofa, he walks towards the front door to get out of the house. But, the mobile in his hand suddenly starts ringing. Leila ran towards him. Danny saw the screen shining with his father number.

"It's dad. Brother pick up." Leila said with a smile.

He sighed a breath of relief then attend the call.

"Hello!" He said.

"Yes, I am Danny. Who is there?" He asked; he didn't recognise the unfamiliar voice.

Leila was standing close to him hearing the slow voices coming from the phone speaker. Someone answer from the other side. Leila saw her brother face going in shock.

Danny's face turned pale as someone sucked all the blood from his body. His eyes start tearing up.

"What did you said?" He asked again. He wanted to confirm it. Maybe, he heard wrong. When the person again said the same thing, the phone dropped from his hand.

He looks towards Leila with an expression that shook Leila's heart.

"Brother, what happened? Who was it? Where are mom and dad?" Leila shook his shoulders. Her words were trembling.

Danny shook his head.

"No, it is not possible. It can not happen!" He said in a lost voice.

"Brother, you are scaring me. Please, tell me what happened?" Leila almost shouted.

"Leila..." He hugged her with his shaking hands.

"It was from the hospital. They got in an accident on the highway. They are saying both of them died on the spot." He said. Leila felt his voice coming from a deep dark pit. She doesn't understand a single world or maybe she understood it all. But her heart was not taking it.

"They asked us to collect dead bodies." Danny was crying so much. He was hugging her close but she was not hearing anything, the first words coming out from his mouth was enough to darken Leila's world.

Leila felt her heart sinking in deep black water from where she can never be able to get it back... Leila felt her head was pounding as someone was hitting it with a heavy hammer. She wanted to cry so much! She wanted to shout and stop her brother from saying these things... But she was not feeling anything. It felt as all her senses were frozen. She felt her eyes getting heavy, Leila was unable to bear this suffocation, she closed her eyes.

Danny panicked, Leila fainted in his arms. He shouted for help. The car comes out of her room hearing the screams of her husband. She saw Leila out of her senses hanging in his arms...
