Ria's point of view...I woke up with a throbbing headache and my eyes were swollen and dark like panda's. I was never a crybaby but I don't know what had gone wrong with the wiring in my head that I had been weeping all night for a monster like him."Cut the crab...! Go hell with your attitude...!" I smacked and yelled at myself to get back to reality because I don't want to continue in this crybaby mode of me anymore.Taking a long bath I felt a little better as if that water was washing away my grief.Well, that's useful. As I strode out of the bathroom, the first thing that I did was to check my phone screen as it was buzzing around for quite a long time, "Oh, my God...!" Thirty missed calls...!I checked it instantly as there could be any emergency patients, but to my surprise, it was Lisa's calls the most and the remaining were from that loser Dabbie. It reminded me of the mess that was done yesterday.What am I going to do?Do I still have my job in that hospital?Ignoring
Ria's point of view...I was bending over him whereas he had been hugging me, no...!Actually, he had been strangling me to death.Where did I get stuck?That traitor, Mike left me alone here to die, he didn't come back after that. I am going to kick his ass when I see him again.It was nearly midnight, I can't believe I had been like this for more than two hours by now, his grip didn't loosen, not even once.My hands felt numb and my back was throbbing in pain. My whole body was sore, I couldn't take it anymore.After enduring it for quite a long time, I decided to wake him up, as there was no chance that he will show some mercy on me and so that I can free myself. He was still intoxicated, and I can't blame him. It is possible for patients intoxicated due to alcohol to have illusions, he might have thought that I was his girlfriend, wife, or something else.Wait...!His force and the way he was holding me was not like he was holding his girlfriend or wife it was more like stranglin
Steven's point of view...I was drowning at the bottom of the sea, with no hope and no one around to save me but soon after a while I heard someone calling me out, "Steven...!" Izzie...!A feeling of disgust turned on in me, there was a hand before me, I could see it even with my blurry vision. I smacked it away as I don't want to get cheated by her anymore."Steven...! Can you hear me?" That wasn't Izzie, it was of someone else, that voice penetrated deep into my mind and gave a soothing effect on my heart. My inner conscience forced me to grab the owner of that voice and I did that.I held her, clenching her body so firmly, close to my heart. It comforted me. The feeling I was in when I was getting drowned in the sea subsided immediately.I felt so good, so full that I was reluctant to leave her. Though unconscious, my subconscious mind was still at work, I was in Israel, I remember, she can't be here, this could be only my illusion.Am I so much involved with her that I was hav
Ria's point of view..."What the hell...!" I yelled in shock, a complete shock that it took me nearly a few minutes to recover from it.When I shook my head to drag myself back, I found that my phone already slipped from my hand and was broken on the floor.I scrolled onto my laptop screen again and again, gaping at the main text with my eyes flung open.I can't believe this...!This can't happen...!I had been trying hard, working my ass out to get the promotion all these years, I never said no to any case, though it was the most complicated one. I had a ninety-three percent success record and I had been maintaining it for these two years.Yes, I want to be the chief surgeon.Yes, I want the promotion.Yes, I want to earn more money so that I can feed myself and also feed so many mouths that are dependent on me.But...!This is not what I wanted, this is not what I deserve.This is ridiculous...!They lost their minds...!I can't let this happen, I can't let them play with my life as
Steven's point of view...After a brief talk with Dad, I felt so much better but he assigned me the worst job ever.Blind Date...!The only daughter of the Italian drug mafia king was interested in me. And that man proposed a business match to Dad.What the heck is going on, man?How is my marriage involved in this?I couldn't calm down myself, Dad said that woman will come to meet me, so I had to wait until she approaches me. It isn't my style, is it?Who is so daring to make me wait?I hit the chair before me and it flew to the door and crashed on the ground making a huge sound.Mike jolted in immediately with his gun ready to attack."Boss..!" he panicked staring at me, but soon realized that something is wrong, grasping the condition."We need to go out for a while" I took my jacket and marched over to the door after sending that woman a message. He followed me calmly.I am not the one to wait, of course. She was interested in me, right? So she had to pay the price for getting h
Ria's point of view...I moved back to my apartment, there was no one to disturb me here, no more humiliation. Those words rang into my ears all this while. It was more disturbing that the words that I hear from Daniel.Why the hell that ruthless monster disturbs me so much?I just can't understand why a worthless man keeps on clinging to my mind and playing with my emotions.After getting sober I decided to face my fate and get off to the hospital, to see what their problem is.I truly wanted to get this promotion, I tried so hard for this but they never once thought about it, how could they do this?Hong Kong...!Hoo....!I can't believe this.I called Lisa before hands just to know the situation there, especially to know about that bastard.The way Steven and his men beat him the other day, I was sure that he won't make it out of his bed for the rest of his life, but that bastard recovered so fast, he was even capable of warning me.When asked, Lisa made it very clear that he had mu
Ria's point of view...There was turmoil in the airport, it wasn't early but still, there were so less people at the airport, and even so, there was a headache ready for me."A medical emergency...please help...!" One of the customs officers was shouting, I heard it but I don't want to get involved in any kind of matters right now, so I kept calm even after hearing them shouting their throats out.There are doctors in the airport as well, they can take care of the situation, and I don't have to spread my legs into unnecessary matters. I patted myself to keep calm.I better keep quiet...!I sat in the waiting room controlling my uncontrollable soul forcefully not to go there."I can't go you know...!""I can't miss the flight in any case" I had been reciting these lines to keep my mind away from the chaos closing my eyes not to look at the people who are panicked, but the moment I opened my eyes, I was already standing before that patient. I hate myself for not being able to control
Steven's point of view...I got a call from that caretaking center, asking me as a guardian to come to visit for some formalities to be completed.I just can't believe that I accepted to join that boy in that lame place instead of hiring a nanny for him just because that crazy woman insisted on it.If it were not for Dad visiting me, I would never have accepted that. Dad hates Thomas Brown to the core if he comes to know that the little boy is his grandson, he will not think twice before killing that little boy. And I don't want it to happen because it was Izzy's last request and I can't ruin that. Besides, that boy is just an innocent kid, he knows nothing about his grandfather's deeds and had nothing to do with his mother's betrayal.As I was about to get out of that care center, that crazy woman bumped into me again with her disgusting clumsiness and she threw a cake all over me.I was frustrated just by looking at her face, I can't understand how long do I have to endure this wo
Author's point of view... "I have a way out" Ria mumbled as she walked out of the hospital room."What..." both Tiger and Mike exclaimed. She extended her phone to them, there was a green light glowing on a map, flashed on her screen."What is this, ma'am?" Mike asked but Tiger understood everything. "Mom has a tracker?" he asked, and Ria nodded, "I bought it for her security" They stared at the green light moving towards the old mansion. "She is taking them to the old mansion" Tiger just looked at Mike and Mike nodded, "Yes Sir," understanding what his boss meant. Collect our men. Reaching the old mansion, Tiger saw that the vibrant mansion that he remembered from his past was now nothing but some ruins. Dark and cold. As Tiger cautiously entered the old mansion, the creaking floorboards beneath his boots echoed through the dimly lit corridor. The air was thick with the musty scent of aged wood, and shadows danced eerily on the walls. Unbeknownst to him, every step triggere
Author's point of view... Time seemed to freeze as the sound of a gunshot reverberated in the room.Tiger yanked holding his hand as Joe was about to shoot his own head and yet his fate was decided.Though Tiger tried to stop him, his desperate move resulted in shooting himself in his chest.Everyone was shocked as Joe crumpled to the ground, the echoes of his desperate act reverberating in the room. Shock and disbelief hung heavy as the reality of the situation unfolded before them.Tiger, releasing his grip, stared at the scene with a complex mix of emotions. "Damn it," he muttered a curse, his frustration palpable. Mike, too, stood there, grappling with the abrupt turn of events.As the room fell into an eerie silence, the consequences of Joe's final act added a layer of complexity to an already convoluted situation. Unraveling the mysteries surrounding Tiger, the mess that had been growing like hell became even more imperative, with the path ahead now clouded by the unforeseen
Author's point of view... Tagging in the location to the place, Tiger sent a message to Joe, expressing that he was frustrated and couldn't think straight. He asked Joe to reach the location Tiger had sent, immediately and to help him deal with the body of Mike. And Joe, believing that the plan he cracked was successful, did exactly what Tiger wanted. In that dimly lit prison, Tiger's frustration simmered as he looked at the unsettling scene. He positioned Alex's body on the chair, securing him with makeshift restraints. "You weren't of much help, but your body will be" he mumbled to Alex while walking towards the entrance. Mike's body was resting near the wall at one of the corners. The weight of the recent events hung in the air as Tiger contemplated the next steps. "It's the time to show down" he muttered to himself as his ringtone buzzed, echoing in the eerie silence. "Sir, I am here," Joe said and a smile tugged on Tiger's face. Walking toward him, Tiger saw Joe standing
Author's point of view... Alex knew that his end was near and so in exchange for the truth, he wanted to negotiate with Tiger. He wanted Tiger to kill him, after getting his answers and though reluctantly, Tiger agreed. It was finally the time when Tiger was about to get his answers but before it could happen again, a gunshot sound reverberated in the room and a bullet traveled straight cutting the air and ending up hitting Alex's forehead. It was a perfect shot. As the one who shot was trained personally by Tiger himself, Mike...! Tiger was Stunned for a moment. It happened again. Right at the moment. As if someone was deliberately playing a dangerous game with him. Who might be the one? In the tense aftermath of the gunshot, Tiger froze for a moment before springing into action. He swiftly assessed the situation, his mind racing as he considered the potential consequences. The air hung heavy with shock as he gasped.That deadly shot didn't shock him as much as how he was more
Tiger's point of view...I strode straight to Alex because I knew that his days were limited. Though this place was hidden even from all my men except for Mike, I am sure they might be digging up the hell to find him. After all, Alex is one with many secrets inside his belly and I have to let him puke out everything as soon as possible. As I entered the secret prison I found Mike standing before him and spraying water on his face. "Hey...get up...!" Mike was trying hard but there was no response in him. I chuckled as I found him still practicing the mere trick I made him learn. Playing dead...! I walked in and stood before them. Looking at Mike's desperation, I was astonished at how greatly Alex had improved. "Leave us...!" I commanded, Mike hesitated for a bit. He may be thinking that I will kill Alex. And of course I will but not yet.He gaped at me for a few seconds but he couldn't probably decline me. Though wavered, he moved out immediately closing the door behind him. As
Tiger's point of view... I had been an officer of special duties, a commando who lives and dies for his country for more than ten years. Dealing with those wild animals in the deep dark forest, who attack without giving us the time to sense, and also those notorious criminals who are far more dangerous than wild animals, is what I was trained for. It wasn't so easy for me. But I do believe that they trained me for a better fighter. My life had been on thrones, not in flowers. And they thought that they could use my wife against me to deceive me.Seriously...!What the hell do they take me as? A fool?Getting out of the military, I wasn't selling candies on the platform that they thought they could cheat me. I controlled the world. Do they think they can deceive me with those mere tricks? I grasped the very first day when I found Ria in that dark prison. She was drugged, but I smelt the same drug she gave me back then. She was in a research team about that drug and no one else
Author's point of view..."Roman Enfield Bank" As the father and son confirmed that there was no one around to spy on them, Tiger asked confusingly. "Why did you particularly let out that name, Dad?" A smirk tugged on Micheal's face and he shoved his hand into his pants pocket, fetching his phone. Taking it out, he scrolled down on his phone screen to find someone's number. Tiger stood silently, observing his father. Though he couldn't comprehend what exactly Micheal was up to, he knew something so clearly, that his father was far more thoughtful than him. Scheming or planning was his specialty. He called someone, and from the very first word he spoke, Tiger understood everything. "Almeda...I have something for you...!" Almeda Bonze was the chief of the security in that bank and also Micheal's men. Micheal had everything planned. Roman Enfield Bank...! In the heart of the busy city, nestled within a sleek and modern skyscraper, stands the perfection of financial fortificatio
Ria's point of view..."The chest is kept in a locker of Roman Enfield Bank, locker number- 1109/6" I took a long breath before I revealed everything. "Are you serious...!" that metallic voice exclaimed. They had been using some voice-manipulating tools to talk to me so that I couldn't judge who that was. "How could that chest be kept inside a locker? Are you trying to fool me?" it added irritatingly, I know it felt weird but that was what I heard from them. I heard everything when Uncle was revealing everything to Tiger, he can't be lying to his son, can he? "I don't know about all of it, but that is what I heard. You better keep your word..." I couldn't complete it when I heard the scream of that innocent little boy, Max."Stop...!!" I cried, how could they use a small child to threaten me to work for their business?"Urgh...! Mom it hurts..." my eyes pooled up as I heard Max crying so hard. He is a good boy, a stronger one and his patience is above many elders. I have seen him
Author's point of view... A heavy silence hung in the air as Micheal got up in a sitting position. Tiger stood beside him and helped him up. The story behind this all was so intriguing that it took quite a while for Micheal to decide if he wanted to tell his son about it. Taking a deep breath, Micheal spoke about the ancestral chest, passed down through generations which is said to hold the key to a power that could shape destinies.As Tiger listened intently, his father's voice carried the weight of the past. "It all started with your grandfather's greatest action" Tiger strode near and say on the chair beside the bed, "Your grandfather, was a brigadier, had once stood tall in the army, respected and admired by everyone. Everything was going fine until one day when he came home desperate and panicked. He urged us all to leave the house immediately telling that some people will come looking for him and they might harm us. Actually he was betrayed by his own trustworthy colleagues
