I beamed at him ear to ear. His memory has been restored. I'm offended he hid it from me. But I had done this too in the past. We're a family. We care for each other. But we hardly use words to express ourselves. My husband is at the top of the list. He rarely explains what he feels. I always consider him a strong personality. He is. There's no doubt but he also gets tired of everything. His phone began to ring, breaking the spell. I pulled my head back gazing up at him. He was already scowling at the display. His look said it was not something he was expecting. When he didn't answer the call, his phone beeped. Footfalls echoed in the glass house. With his clenched jaw, he got on his feet, taking me along with him. I stepped back, my hands still curled around his shoulders. Abruptly, my heart began to pound in my chest. I could feel something bad coming. But I couldn't spoil the moment by bringing it out of my mouth. "Boss," Drake
DUANTE'S POV I could feel her eyes on me. The stalker wouldn't get a little hint. It would drive him crazy. This was the result of his craziness. I didn't want her to hear anything. I couldn't deny her when she looked at me with her big beseeching eyes. "You will be in each other's contact." I dismissed them. Arsh, Aakash, and Drake exchanged looks. "Boss?" Aakash gulped, taking a small step ahead. "Find his third son." I gritted my teeth. I felt a tug on my coat. A little astounded, I peered down at her. She flashed her innocent smile. "Is the meeting over? I think our baby is hungry." She chewed on her bottom lip sharing a nervous look with me. I couldn't hold the corners of my mouth tilting up. I brushed my knuckles on her crimson cheek. She relaxed under my touch. I could feel the tension in her body, the questions in her eyes. I was glad that one of my enemies was dead today. "Sure," I turned to Drake. "Did Ru
The sky had gone dark. I couldn't persuade myself to move or to go in. His strange, mysterious talking was confusing and dreading me the most. He lost his memory and forgot everything about me. A shudder worked down my spine. Meri thought frightened me. I could never imagine myself forgetting him. Was he trying to tell me something? Was he planning something? He never told me anything. He attended his meeting in another language. So I couldn't get a word. It was clearly showing, it was related to me. I rubbed my palm on my arms, hugging myself. I felt goosebumps. My heart hammered in my chest. "You shouldn't be out," I felt something warm over my shoulders. Lifting my chin, I looked up at Tom. He smiled down at me. "Why is Mini not here?" I asked. He breathed out with a frown. He walked around the bencher and sat next to me. "Dad said, her mother can take care of her better than us." I felt sadness engulfing
Getting in the dining hall, my eyes drifted over to the head chair. I hadn't seen him after our awkward conversation. I was still trying to contemplate it. He should explain more to me. The head chair was empty. I slanted my eyes around. I could only see guards. Where were all? I peered over my shoulder. Assassin and Rocky were staring ahead, giving no expression. "Where are all the boys?" I asked them, arching my brows. There was no sign of irritation on Rocky's face, not even a deep snort which he usually threw my way after calling him boy. Assassin didn't pass his small smile. "They'll be home soon. It's your breakfast time." Assassin waved his hand at one of the guards. I turned in my seat to look ahead in the kitchen, who hurried to bring my food. "Where's my husband?" I asked. I had a nagging feeling, my heart pounded in my ears everytime I recalled my fear. He always left me amazed, wondering in shock. There was somethin
I took deep breaths, trying to shove off the nerves in my stomach. I opened my mouth. But new forming tears clogged my throat. "Lock your door, Evie and pack your stuff. You need to go somewhere safe." He whispered in my ears before removing his arm. I turned to look at him. I embraced him and began to sob softly. "Where's he? I can't endure this man. He calls me Eve and tries to touch me. I'm not feeling safe, Tom. We're on our own. We have to find him." My voice cracked. " Evie," He shook his head. I drew myself back. He looked at me. "We don't have much time." "Mini?" He could blackmail us. "They're safe. No one knows where she and your families are. Now hurry up." Tom motioned at Rocky and Assassin. "Nothing should happen to her. If I don't come within ten minutes, you know what to do." They nodded their heads immediately. "You have a big responsibility, Evie. I wouldn't have said it if…." Tom exited the room, closing
I stayed at the doorside letting the guards check the room first. I wanted to be alone, so I could make some calls. It would take me some days. "All clear," They said in robotic tones to each other. My eyes darted around. There was no window. It felt cruel. I wasn't minding managing until Duante came back. They shuffled out of the room immediately. "It's safe. Don't go anywhere without one of us." Rocky said.. I glanced at Assassin. He was a person of a few words. "Don't disturb me now." Flattening my lips, I strolled in the room. I clicked the lock and rested my forehead against it, closing my eyes. A tear slid down my cheek. I swiped it away immediately. I didn't have time for this. I slid my hand in my jeans pocket and took out the phone. Tapping multiple times, I called her. I hadn't received a single message from her. That was quite unsettling. This happened only when she was in trouble. I was grateful they didn't take my phone. "Who's
I couldn't spend time lounging on the couch, doing nothing but eating and walking around. The newspaper had stopped repeating the same things after many days. The blast part seemed their favourite, might be getting them TRP. My pregnancy was also all over the news channels and paper. Luckily, they weren't showing any pictures of me. "Evie! How's it looking? What are you thinking?" Her sharp voice pulled me out of the thinking. I looked at her blinking multiple times, I wanted flowers around me, the air filled with scents of them. Now, I realised that I wasn't interested. Nothing interested me without him. "It's lovely, exactly as I want them." I forced a smile her way. "You're not happy. It's not good for your health. You're not even paying attention." Amara said. "I've heard that a lot." I flattened my lips looking around unintentionally. "Well, you don't wanna get late." I pushed forward the swing slightly with my feet. "We can't b
Heartbreak, torture nothing was essential when he had a aim. She was moving quicker than he was expecting from a pregnant woman. She was grasping the clutch to her side as it was everything to her. His intense eyes didn't leave her for a second. She was precious. She shouldn't be out alone in a strange city when her enemies were finding her in every corner of the world. He pulled his hood closer, his mask was hiding him to be recognized. His expressions were stern. His gloved hands fisted. It wasn't that cold but soon the weather would change. He didn't peel his eyes off of her for one second. He didn't want to lose her. He vowed to protect her. The phone vibrated in his pocket. He slid his hand in without averting his eyes without stopping his treads. "Why are you calling me?" He snarled in a low voice. "I'm paying you more than enough money to keep my daughter-in-law safe." A hissed voice reached his ears making his jaw clenched ti
