JUSTIN'S POV:
I walked back to my room to take shower after my workout. I got ready in my tuxedo, made my hair and put on my watch and perfume and I was all set to go to office.
I was waiting for breakfast in dinner table when she came out of kitchen with a tray in her hand. She placed a plate of grilled cheese sandwich and a mug of coffee for me but there was no plate for her like other days. Strange...
She was continuously rubbing her fingers with her thumbs. She was nervous. I was waiting for her to speak all the time when I was having my lunch but she didn't speak anything. I couldn't wait anymore so I asked, "Is there anything you want to say?"
"Actually sir, can I... can I come to office a little late? Actually... I... I have something to do." She stammered.
She's never asked for a single day of leave till day, not even breaks except for lunch break. And today, she's asking for... Wait, she was crying yesterday. Okay, seems something importan
IVANA'S POV:I woke up in the morning when sunrays hit my face peeping through the window. Oh shit! It's seven already. It's weekend so I have day off at work but I have plan to go out with Abigail today. She must be on her way.Oh no no... I'm really late today. How did I sleep this late? I took out my outfit from wardrobe and rushed to washroom for a very quick shower. I put on a simple tight blue jeans, white shirt and denim jacket with a little makeup leaving my hair free and I was all set.Oh shit! It's half past seven already. And this deadly demon will wake up at anytime. I better go and prepare breakfast first. I ran downstairs to kitchen and prepared breakfast and coffee for three of us. I had asked Abigail to have breakfast with us.I heard honk of car after a while and it was Abigail."Hey sister in law..." she ran towards me and hugged me."Someone looks very excited." I said hugging her back."Yes, very excited. After all
ABIGAIL'S POV:I heard sister in law calling me so I turned around. But she pushed me and I fell so hard on the floor. I was confused by the incident which happened right now. I was blank. But I heard her scream. When I looked at that way, sister in law was lying down on the ground on pool of blood. The a car drove away in full speed, the same one which had probably hit her.My feet went numb and tears started rolling down from my eyes. I wanted to walk. But my legs weren't working. I saw her looking at me. Reality stroke my mind. She... she saved me. And now, she's lying in pool of blood.I ran to her with all the force in me. I was scared, I was nervous. I was blank. "Sister in law... Wake up... Wake up... Sister in law.... sob sob..." I was shaking her but she was not responding. Her eyes were closed. A cold wind of fear blew in my heart, fear of losing her. No no... I don't even want to imagine that.I was helpless. I screamed with all the energ
EDWARD'S POV:I walked to Justin's cabin as I needed to talk to him about some deals. But he wasn't there. Strange... He never leaves anywhere at office time. And as much as I know, there's no such meetings for which he has to go out.I dialled his number. He picked at third ring. "Where are you Justin?" I asked him."In the hospital."What? Hospital? What happened all of a sudden?"What happened Justin? Who's in the hospital?"I heard Abigail's voice in the background. "Brother, sob sob.... She will be fine right? Sister in law would be find right?"Sister in law? Ivana? What happened to her? "Justin, what happened to Ivana?""An accident. She saved Abigail." What was he saying? I couldn't understand it clearly but I was tensed. She's always been a great co worker and moreover, I see her like my sister."Justin, which hospital are you in?""St. Joseph hospital""I'm coming." I cut the call and rushed to parking. A
JUSTIN'S POV:"Boss, I've got something to tell." Angelo said coming towards me. I nodded at him before he started saying,"Sir, the accident was not an accident. I mean it was an attempt to murder."I knew it. I had that doubt and I wanted to ensure it. Someone is trying to target my family. Abigail was the target. I don't know what would I have done if she... No... I can't even imagine losing my sister. I felt my body turning hot due to anger. I can tolerate anything but nothing against my family. I'm having this strong feeling that it's him behind all."What have you found Angelo?" Edward asked."The car which hit madam had fake number plate. And upon searching that car, we found it was a rented car. The one who hit madam had used fake number plate after renting it. He returned the car just after hitting madam.""Someone is trying to target your family Justin. Abigail was targeted but Ivana saved her at right time." said Edward."D
EDWARD'S POV:Abigail, Nancy and Miya were taking care of aunty while uncle is talking with the doctors. He's making sure that she'll get the best treatment and services here in the hospital. Ivana is shifted to VIP ward now.Justin was not there. I don't know where did he go. But one thing stroke in my mind. I dialled Angelo's number."Yes Edward sir.""Justin had told you about the security for his family. Make sure you also look after Ivana's security. She'll also need it too.""Sir, boss has already ordered me to look after her security. He has also asked me to manage special security and bodyguards for her in the hospital. I've already sent the bodyguards. They must be on the way to hospital."I was so delighted to hear that. He... he actually thought about her? He wanted to have security for his family and he even asked for Ivana? Does that... does that mean he has accepted Ivana as his family? I couldn't believe it when he
JUSTIN'S POV:"Mr. Merchant, now she's out of danger. She's finally got consciousness after twenty four hours of observation. You can meet her. But please not for too long. She needs to take rest and she'll have to stay in hospital for one more day. We will have to conduct different tests to ensure her safety." The doctor said."Let's go, let's meet her." Mom was impatient to see her. They all entered inside the room to see her. But... I couldn't go inside. I could see her from the door and what do I say after going there.She was lying on the bed with her eyes closed. Her forehead was covered with bandage and also her hands had wounds on it.I felt someone's hand on my shoulder. "Will you just stay here? Won't you go and ask her? How's she feeling?" It was Edward."Ahh... You go. I'll come afterwards." I told him and he shook his head in response before going inside the room.IVANA'S POV:"My child..." I felt hand over my head. I tri
JUSTIN'S POV:"Rosh, take this diet chart. This is her diet chart recommended by doctor and you'll be preparing all the foods as per the diet plan, understood?""Yes... Yes sir.""Okay, prepare a bowl of mushroom soup right now, she needs to have it before her medicine.""Okay sir."I walked back to room to take shower. When I entered the room, she was sleeping on the bed peacefully."Si... Sir... I can manage on the sofa."I remembered how she had said that. But I can't let her sleep on sofa in this condition at least. Ahhh... looks like I'll have to use the sofa for these few days.I walked to washroom with fresh clothes to take shower. When I came out of shower, Abigail was talking with her."Sister in law, I'll have to go to college at ten in the morning and I'll return at three in the afternoon. Bro will also be in the office cause I heard Edward brother saying that his presence is must for the deal they're planning t
JUSTIN'S POV:I took the pillow and kept it on the other side of the sofa. But something fell on the floor. I turned around and saw a diary on the floor. The first thing I noticed was the line:"THEY BETRAYED US."Betray? All those memories flashed in front of my eyes. Every single moment when I... Leave it... I don't even want to remember it. I don't even want to forget it.This is her diary, the same diary in which she keeps on writing something every night. Why did she write they betrayed us? Who does she mean by us? Mom had told me that she's an orphan... And wait...She was crying that day while writing in it. Just after that, the accident. No... but Abi was the target. Here I was thinking someone targeted Abi because of me. But what if someone tried to hurt Abi to torture her? That has chances as well. What if she herself is in some kind of danger? I'll have to find it out. I'll have to sort this out.I picked up the diary and wa
