Ria's point of view...It had been a while since I passed out, but then when I finally opened my eyes to find myself in a luxurious room.It can't be someone's house for sure because It looks like a palace.The room was like a luxurious auditorium itself, spreading vast and spacious. The bed I was laying on was cushioned just like a cheese cream over the cake, so soft and comfortable.Everything around me including the mat on the floor was outstanding, shouting all its throat out of indulgence. The bed table beside me was rimmed with golden wiring, with the basic needed commodity, including the highest quality of eye wrap and....!Condoms are displayed as well. What the...! They don't have diamonds in the condom, right?Every part of this place was shouting expensiveness.I got up scratching my head to look around further, as this thing gave me a feeling that I was in another world.I found the untouched and draped bathroom accessories like toothpaste, toothbrush, and tissues as my e
Ria's point of view...Uhh..!I slept like a dead one yesterday but couldn't even blink my eyes for the whole night today.The rising sun was reminding me of my doomsday.Yes...!It's today, my doomsday.How could I end up marrying an old man?Being a babysitter to that devil lord was much better than marrying an old man who just had a stroke...!Damn....!That bitch didn't come all day after leaving me in such a miserable state, I thought she would accept my offer but she was cruel than I expected.It was only the hotel staff following with a few guards that delivered the other meals for the remaining day yesterday. Yeah....!I tried running away so many times trying all the means and tricks that are shown in the movies but seriously, nothing works in real life.I end up being threatened by the guards, they made sure that if I try that again, they will tie me up.I can't let them do that, I can't pee in my pants of course...!The door opened this morning and this time it was that la
Steven's point of view..."What the hell is all this Jessica?" I grunted the moment I got into her room, she was sitting in the corner of that room painting her nails, just like nothing happened at all, I just can't take it.I strode near to her and slammed the table in irritation, "Why are you so careless...!" I yelled at her,"Oh, shut up...! Tiger, You can't even take your phone when needed...!" she growled throwing that bottle of nail polish over to me which hit the wall instead."Why didn't you inform me that you guys are coming today?" I inquired dodging it anyways.It was night already as I returned from Italy. The land beneath me slid away the moment I heard that Dad was in some hospital in New York.Why the heck they didn't tell me?I wouldn't have planned this rubbish if I had known it earlier. My men were enough for those crabs anyway."It was Michael's idea, he wanted to give you a grand surprise, I have nothing to do with it, so just stop barking at me, okay" Jessica was
Author's point of view...Tiger took Ria and threw her in the back seat of his car, "Troublesome...So troublesome...!" standing outside of the car he shoved his hair back in irritation."What am I going to do with this woman?" "Uhh..!" he sighed before bringing himself near the car tire and hitting it, Mike came running but stopped at a distance."Boss congratulations, I never thought..." his happy words immediately stuck up at just a glance from Tiger, that frowned forehead was scary."Boss what do you want me to do next?" he asked bowing before him immediately changing his happy mood into a serious and obedient one. Mike was overjoyed when he saw Ria be his Boss's wife, as she was so friendly with him, it was something that they didn't expect but by looking at Tiger's face now. It was sure that he was pissed off. At this point, Mike should stay out of his irritation or he will become the punching bag to vent his boss's anger."What else, take her to the mansion! get on" Tiger sni
Tiger's point of view...I was stuck in that room with that stupid woman.What did Dad even plan about? Was binding me along with this woman not enough?What should I do now?When I saw that crazy woman sleeping cozily, while I was struggling with this heck, I wanted to squeeze her neck and close the chapter completely.But when I approached her, that carefree innocent look on her face stopped me, I can't kill her, after all, she was my savior, Dad's Savior.I lifted her chin and she made funny faces in her sleep that made me chuckle unknowingly.I strode away from her putting her back on the bed, to freshen myself up. I couldn't get out of here but at least I can rest a little, as I have no idea what else I had to bear with this crazy woman by my side."Hmm....! Did you save me?" I heard her slow voice echoing in my ears, I was sure just now that she was asleep, then when the heck she woke up?I turned around to look at her, Save...!What does that mean?"What do you think?" I asked
Ria's point of view...What did he say, I kissed him. but why would I?What was I thinking about?No...way...It can't be...!I checked my watch the sedative that I kept as a self-defense was gone, now I got the complete story. That rouge might have done something to me that I was forced to use that pill on him.Disgusting...!Why are we here anyways?Many doubts were still pooling in my mind and the answers to them are nowhere to find. I have to ask him about what was going on.There is only one way to survive in this kind of situation and that is being shameless.I can't be in the bathroom all day, right?I opened the door of the bathroom to peep out of it because, in a hurry to avoid that awkward situation just now, I forgot to take anything to wear. I don't know how but the wedding gown I was wearing was torn a little and now when I tried to remove it, it completely skidded away.I just can't understand why they cost these delicate dresses hundreds and thousands of dollars when ju
Author's point of view...After a long and steamy confinement, the door of the room opened as Mike was here to inform something very important to Tiger."Boss", he greeted with a nod, the moment that door opened, "I got something important to report" his words were quite serious, and his expression changed as he moved near to tell the details. They strolled out of the room when Ria was still in the bathroom.Geon has already left the place, because he knows better than anyone else, what he had to face when Tiger comes out of the bone.Mike and Tiger strode to one of the corners of that resort to talk in detail. The issue Mike came up with was a very significant matter that needs immediate action so Geon didn't halt him to report.One of their French collaborators was here to make a deal but he insisted that it must be Tiger with whom they lock the deal."Is everything affirmed?" Tiger glanced at Mike and after a slight hesitation, Mike confirmed it with a nod, "Yes Boss" "Arrange a
Ria's point of view...A sunset orange color evening gown was ready for me to wear, I didn't go through the tags, brands, and all those as they will just make me uneasy, it happened before. I better avoid such things not to give my little heart an attack bothering about the cost. I came out of the bathroom after getting changed but the main surprising thing was I was alone in that room and the doors were open, for that moment I was just like a bird in an open cage. A smile tugged across my face as I smoothly strolled out of the room pretending to be looking at the beautiful view of the resort but observing each corner of that place if anyone was still watching over me. I can't trust those monsters, they can do anything.I think I am lucky this time to be able to escape from them and run toward the gate sneakily. I don't have anything to take along with me as my phone, my purse, and all my luggage including my passport was taken by those robbers.Wait...!I have another problem ready
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
