Author's point of view..."What...!" Ria asked again as he was throwing seriously staring at her with his intense glare."You belong to me..! And once something belongs to me it gets tagged with my name" That was more like a confession as if a Tiger claiming his domain. She had nothing to argue on, she erect herself and sat moving to the other side of the seat. They drove back to the mansion after experiencing an awkward silence merging inside the car.In their dimly lit bedroom, Tiger slammed the door open, other than those silly questions, he didn't ask her any details about that man whom Ria met but instead, he had arranged for someone to ask around about her the moment he heard that she met with another man. His man who went to ask around met Dessi and she, out of the hostile relationship between Ria and her, built up a false story targeting Ria, that Ria had a boyfriend, who meets her every day secretly and they both go to the hotel nearby.After getting the information about
Tiger's point of view...As I sat at the cluttered desk, surrounded by stacks of files that that officer offered me along with the old map of international routes, a sense of determination filled my veins. Two years had passed since Alex had fled the country, leaving behind a trail of chaos and my shattered life. Today marked another beginning of my personal quest to bring him out to get my revenge. I know he is still alive, he can't die so easily. Even death can't take him away without my permission.With a firm resolve, I checked all the videos recorded at the airport that day, all related to the journey across borders. From the quiet streets of my hometown to the bustling cities of foreign lands, I immersed myself in the intricate web of international law enforcement. According to Joe, he had already gone through the Interpol reports, diplomatic channels, and connections in the underground world to find any clue. Every lead, no matter how faint, was meticulously followed, as I so
Ria's point of view...It had been a week since I saw him, I don't know when he returns and when he disappears again before dawn breaks.It's not like I miss him, but deep down the room felt lonely and my ears made a buzzing sound when he is not around.Well, if it is called missing, then I think that I need to admit it, that I am missing that devil in his lair.To keep me busy, I strode away to the hospital early in the morning and get back late so that I don't have to face that only room without him.This week, I don't why but I was shifted to the VIP ward, and there is hardly anything to do. But no matter what, people like me find their way out.There was a cute little life shifted here recently, just a three years boy but unfortunately in a coma. His case pulled me in as there was hope for him.I heard his father had someone powerful behind him who made everyone in the hospital run around that little boy that day when he was shifted here or else with his condition, it was a miracl
Tiger's point of view...I stood in that room aimlessly searching for any clue that can lead me towards him now at this second. I am yearning to clench my fist over him. To choke him to death after I get the answers to my questions.Why me?Why did he do that to me?A carefree grunt echoed around that room pulling my attention over to the owner of that rough voice, and I turned instantly to see if that was him."Who are you, man? What are you doing in my house?" It was dark behind me where that man was standing, I stepped forward to see his face, calling out for him to clarify my doubt himself."Anthony or Alex...!" he stumbled backward and turned around to run away."Mike...! Get him...!" a yell and Mike and my other men chased after him, my heart pounding with a mixture of fury and desperation. "Stop!" I yelled, my voice echoing through the narrow corridors. The adrenaline surged through my veins, fueling my pursuit as I navigated through the labyrinthine passages.As he panicked,
Author's point of view...Leaving the world behind in each other's embrace, Ria and Tiger stood before the hospital staff and Joe for quite a while as if yearning for each other for years.Joe, getting out of his misery, looked at them perplexed and puzzled.Why would his son's doctor hug my boss?Was that for comfort?But it has to be the guardian of the patient if it is for comforting, right?As his mind was racing to sort things out, Mike moved forward to answer his queries."That's my ma'am, Boss's wife" he clarified Joe's doubts.Joe was taken aback for some time, he never imagined that a man notoriously famous for his unmerciful killing will be having a wife in the profession of saving lives.When the realization stuck them both about where they are, they pulled themselves back from each other moving away in a hurry.Ria strolled to her cabin and Tiger rushed to his car, where Joe and Mike followed him running. As they reached Joe's office, Tiger's heart pounded in his chest as
Ria's point of view...This night I wanted to prove something to myself, I just wanted to see if he takes me to his bed tonight again, if so then I can confront him, why.But something changed, he didn't take me to his bed but instead, he settled himself on my bed, hugging me even more tightly.I wanted to free myself but I smelt alcohol, he was drunk, and arguing with a drunk man is like hitting my head on a tree bark, isn't it?So I reluctantly let it slide for now, though it was uncomfortable as his grip was tight enough to make me hear his heartbeat But in other words, his tough touch was making me feel hotter which I can't express.I struggled hard to get some sleep all night, without moving an inch, but I swear that I couldn't.It was in the morning when he strode away to his room when I felt easy and slept for a while but as time was ticking and I need to check on my patients, I had to kick my butt off the bed.I strolled myself to his room to get my clothes to change from the
Tiger's point of view...I felt so much more relaxed sleeping like this, hugging her as if I had my world under my arms but something was weird I felt she was shivering, it might be off for her but I am not going to let her go.Yes, I am selfish, I know she wasn't comfortable but I prefer to make her adapt to this instead of leaving her.In the morning I saw she was pretending to be asleep but her eyes were still flickering. I wanted to kiss her, but a call disturbed me. I checked my phone screen, it was Rex. And I had to leave that room to attend that call, "Hmm..." I lifted the call only to listen 'Done' from him."Boss, it's done...!" he retorted but his speech wavering, "Rex, I thought you have a long life to live" The task I gave him was a must one and I don't want it to be undone."Sir I did it but she was taken to the hospital, it was so sudden that I couldn't stop it" he reasoned, "Leave it," I hung up, Hospital...!I won't mind if she ends up in that hospital bed for al
Ria's point of view...I reached the hospital in a hurry just to get distracted from that cheesy trap roaming around my mind and great...! I found my distraction ready in the lobby.A woman had been brought in following a severe accident, and her life hung in the balance. Shattered skin, almost every part of the body was ruptured.To explain properly, a drastic accident as if someone deliberately did that and wanted her to be dead instantly.A great challenge for me. I forced myself to pick up speed and reached my team."How are the vitals?" I started my queries and they gave me my answers.As I checked her, I found a brutal injury on her head as well, which means there was almost no place for survival and even if she survived, she will end up in a vegetative state. Brain dead...!But I think I know what to do."Have you contacted her family?" I asked the rescue team worker who brought her there."Yes ma'am, her husband is on the way," he said in a hurry to rush out.Time seemed to
